Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.

The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock.  This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a
NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.

It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs.  syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA
to grow and consume the empty space.  Overwriting the entire NULL entry
causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent
readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not
match the maple state they are using.

Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

 - Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
   which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

 - SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
   "mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

   These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

 - Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
   adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
   reclaim.

 - David Hildenbrand has added some userfaultfd cleanup work in the
   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
   function in the series "remove generic_writepages".

 - Baolin Wang has performed some maintenance on the compaction code in
   his series "Some small improvements for compaction".

 - Sidhartha Kumar is doing some maintenance work on struct page in his
   series "Get rid of tail page fields".

 - David Hildenbrand contributed some cleanup, bugfixing and
   generalization of pte management and of pte debugging in his series
   "mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures with
   swap PTEs".

 - Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
   flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

 - Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
   ths series "remove -&gt;rw_page".

 - We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
   series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

Move the flags that should not/are not used outside gup.c and related into
mm/internal.h to discourage driver abuse.

To make this more maintainable going forward compact the two FOLL ranges
with new bit numbers from 0 to 11 and 16 to 21, using shifts so it is
explicit.

Switch to an enum so the whole thing is easier to read.

<content type='text'>
Setting FOLL_UNLOCKABLE allows GUP to lock/unlock the mmap lock on its
own.  It is a more explicit replacement for locked != NULL.  This clears
the way for passing in locked = 1, without intending that the lock can be
unlocked.

Set the flag in all cases where it is used, eg locked is present in the
external interface or locked is used internally with locked = 0.

vm_flags are among VMA attributes which affect decisions like VMA merging
and splitting.  Therefore all vm_flags modifications are performed after
taking exclusive mmap_lock to prevent vm_flags updates racing with such
operations.  Introduce modifier functions for vm_flags to be used whenever
flags are updated.  This way we can better check and control correct
locking behavior during these updates.

Add wrappers for the maple tree to the vma iterator.  This will provide
type safety at compile time.

<title>mm: remove the hugetlb field from struct page</title>

Patch series "Get rid of tail page fields".

Continue the shrinkage of the struct page definition by getting rid of the
'first tail page' and 'second tail page' fields.  I originally did this
patch set before Hugh's rewrite of the subpages_mapcount, so it needed
substantial updates; hope I didn't miss anything.


This patch (of 28):

commit dad6a5eb5556(mm,hugetlb: use folio fields in second tail page)
added a transitional hugetlb field to struct page and struct folio to make
room for another int in the first tail of a compound page.  Hugetlb folio
conversions have changed all page users of this field to use the fields
within the folio so struct page no longer needs this hugetlb specific
field.

<title>mm: move page-&gt;deferred_list to folio-&gt;_deferred_list</title>

Remove the entire block of definitions for the second tail page, and add
the deferred list to the struct folio.  This actually moves _deferred_list
to a different offset in struct folio because I don't see a need to
include the padding.

This lets us use list_for_each_entry_safe() in deferred_split_scan()
and avoid a number of calls to compound_head().
