__USE_GNU should be an internal macro only used inside glibc.  Either
memfd_create() or fallocate() requires _GNU_SOURCE per man page, where
__USE_GNU will further be defined by glibc headers include/features.h:

  #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE
  # define __USE_GNU	1
  #endif

This fixes:

   &gt;&gt; hugetlb-madvise.c:20: warning: "__USE_GNU" redefined

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu

 - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying

 - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola

 - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW
   handling

 - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin

 - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki

 - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew
   Wilcox

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use
   it

 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

   This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad

 - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and
   memory section removal for huge pages

 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park

 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages

 - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors

 - Hugh Dickins reworked compound page mapcount handling, simplifying it
   and making it more efficient

 - Removal of the autonuma savedwrite infrastructure from Nadav Amit and
   David Hildenbrand

 - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky

 - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so
   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway

 - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
   enabled during per-cpu page allocations

 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper

 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache

 - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
   breaking

 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend

 - Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in
   file[map]_write_and_wait_range()

 - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
   Chen

 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems. They only need .writepages()

 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines

 - Many singleton patches, as usual

The test currently fails on 32bit.  Fixing the "-1ull" vs.  "-1ul" seems
to make the test pass and the compiler happy.

Note: This test is not in mm-stable yet. This fix should be squashed into
      "selftests/vm: add KSM unmerge tests".

The tests fail to compile in some environments (e.g., Debian 11.5 on x86).
Let's simply conditionally define MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) if not
already defined, similar to how the khugepaged.c test handles it.

Let's add a test to measure performance of KSM breaking not triggered via
COW, but triggered by disabling KSM on an area filled with KSM pages via
MADV_UNMERGEABLE.

Let's add a test to measure performance of KSM breaking not triggered via
COW, but triggered by disabling KSM on an area filled with KSM pages via
MADV_UNMERGEABLE.

Patch series "mm/ksm: break_ksm() cleanups and fixes", v2.

This series cleans up and fixes break_ksm().  In summary, we no longer use
fake write faults to break COW but instead FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE.  Further,
we move away from using follow_page() --- that we can hopefully remove
completely at one point --- and use new walk_page_range_vma() instead.

Fortunately, we can get rid of VM_FAULT_WRITE and FOLL_MIGRATION in common
code now.

Extend the existing ksm tests by an unmerge benchmark, and a some new
unmerge tests.

Also, add a selftest to measure MADV_UNMERGEABLE performance.  In my setup
(AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance
on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a
performance degradation of ~6% -- 7% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s).
I don't think we particularly care for now, but it's good to be aware of
the implication.


This patch (of 9):

Let's add three unmerge tests (MADV_UNMERGEABLE unmerging all pages in the
range).

test_unmerge(): basic unmerge tests
test_unmerge_discarded(): have some pte_none() entries in the range
test_unmerge_uffd_wp(): protect the merged pages using uffd-wp

ksm_tests.c currently contains a mixture of benchmarks and tests, whereby
each test is carried out by executing the ksm_tests binary with specific
parameters.  Let's add new ksm_functional_tests.c that performs multiple,
smaller functional tests all at once.

<title>selftests/vm: enable running select groups of tests</title>

Our memory management kernel CI testing at Red Hat uses the VM
selftests and we have run into two problems:

First, our LTP tests overlap with the VM selftests.

We want to avoid unhelpful redundancy in our testing practices.

Second, we have observed the current run_vmtests.sh to report overall
failure/ambiguous results in the case that a machine lacks the necessary
hardware to perform one or more of the tests. E.g. ksm tests that
require more than one numa node.

We want to be able to run the vm selftests suitable to particular hardware.

Add the ability to run one or more groups of vm tests via run_vmtests.sh
instead of simply all-or-none in order to solve these problems.

Preserve existing default behavior of running all tests when the script
is invoked with no arguments.

Documentation of test groups is included in the patch as follows:

    # ./run_vmtests.sh [ -h || --help ]

    usage: ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/run_vmtests.sh [ -h | -t "&lt;categories&gt;"]
      -t: specify specific categories to tests to run
      -h: display this message

    The default behavior is to run all tests.

    Alternatively, specific groups tests can be run by passing a string
    to the -t argument containing one or more of the following categories
    separated by spaces:
    - mmap
	    tests for mmap(2)
    - gup_test
	    tests for gup using gup_test interface
    - userfaultfd
	    tests for  userfaultfd(2)
    - compaction
	    a test for the patch "Allow compaction of unevictable pages"
    - mlock
	    tests for mlock(2)
    - mremap
	    tests for mremap(2)
    - hugevm
	    tests for very large virtual address space
    - vmalloc
	    vmalloc smoke tests
    - hmm
	    hmm smoke tests
    - madv_populate
	    test memadvise(2) MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE} options
    - memfd_secret
	    test memfd_secret(2)
    - process_mrelease
	    test process_mrelease(2)
    - ksm
	    ksm tests that do not require &gt;=2 NUMA nodes
    - ksm_numa
	    ksm tests that require &gt;=2 NUMA nodes
    - pkey
	    memory protection key tests
    - soft_dirty
    	    test soft dirty page bit semantics
    - anon_cow
            test anonymous copy-on-write semantics
    example: ./run_vmtests.sh -t "hmm mmap ksm"

This test was overlooked with a hard-coded mntpoint path in test when
we're removing the hugetlb mntpoint in commit 0796c7b8be84.  Fix it up so
the test can keep running.
