With the support of FEAT_HAFT, the NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG can be enabled
on arm64 since the hardware is capable of updating the AF flag for
PMD table descriptor. Since the AF bit of the table descriptor
shares the same bit position in block descriptors, we only need
to implement arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young() and select related
configs. The related pmd_young test/update operations keeps the
same with and already implemented for transparent page support.

Currently ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG is used to improve the
efficiency of lru-gen aging.

<title>arm64/mm: Sanity check PTE address before runtime P4D/PUD folding</title>

<id>baec2397971960e8d5661c616ce20d6a24d7dc4f</id>
<content type='text'>
The runtime P4D/PUD folding logic assumes that the respective pgd_t* and
p4d_t* arguments are pointers into actual page tables that are part of
the hierarchy being operated on.

This may not always be the case, and we have been bitten once by this
already [0], where the argument was actually a stack variable, and in
this case, the logic does not work at all.

So let's add a VM_BUG_ON() for each case, to ensure that the address of
the provided page table entry is consistent with the address being
translated.

The runtime P4D/PUD folding logic assumes that the respective pgd_t* and
p4d_t* arguments are pointers into actual page tables that are part of
the hierarchy being operated on.

This may not always be the case, and we have been bitten once by this
already [0], where the argument was actually a stack variable, and in
this case, the logic does not work at all.

So let's add a VM_BUG_ON() for each case, to ensure that the address of
the provided page table entry is consistent with the address being
translated.

<title>arm64/mm: Drop setting PTE_TYPE_PAGE in pte_mkcont()</title>

PTE_TYPE_PAGE bits were being set in pte_mkcont() because PTE_TABLE_BIT
was being cleared in pte_mkhuge(). But after arch_make_huge_pte()
modification in commit f8192813dcbe ("arm64/mm: Re-organize
arch_make_huge_pte()"), which dropped pte_mkhuge() completely, setting
back PTE_TYPE_PAGE bits is no longer necessary. Change pte_mkcont() to
only set PTE_CONT.

Core HugeTLB defines a fallback definition for arch_make_huge_pte(), which
calls platform provided pte_mkhuge(). But if any platform already provides
an override for arch_make_huge_pte(), then it does not need to provide the
helper pte_mkhuge().

arm64 override for arch_make_huge_pte() calls pte_mkhuge() internally, thus
creating an impression, that both of these callbacks are being used in core
HugeTLB and hence required to be defined. This drops off pte_mkhuge() which
was never required to begin with as there could not be any section mappings
at the PTE level. Re-organize arch_make_huge_pte() based on requested page
size and create the entry for the applicable page table level as needed. It
also removes a redundancy of clearing PTE_TABLE_BIT bit followed by setting
both PTE_TABLE_BIT and PTE_VALID bits (via PTE_TYPE_MASK) in the pte, while
creating CONT_PTE_SIZE size entries.

Use the memory encryption APIs to trigger a RSI call to request a
transition between protected memory and shared memory (or vice versa)
and updating the kernel's linear map of modified pages to flip the top
bit of the IPA. This requires that block mappings are not used in the
direct map for realm guests.

pgattr_change_is_safe() processes two distinct page table entries that just
happen to be 64 bits for all levels. This changes both arguments to reflect
the actual data type being processed in the function.

This change is important when moving to FEAT_D128 based 128 bit page tables
because it makes it simple to change the entry size in one place.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped
     area" from Mark Brown. Fix up the various arch_get_unmapped_area()

     a couple more code paths to correctly recover from the encountering
     of poisoned memry.

   - "mm: enable large folios swap-in support" from Barry Song. Support
     the swapin of mTHP memory into appropriately-sized folios, rather
     than into single-page folios"

Support huge pfnmaps by using bit 56 (PTE_SPECIAL) for "special" on
pmds/puds.  Provide the pmd/pud helpers to set/get special bit.

There's one more thing missing for arm64 which is the pxx_pgprot() for
pmd/pud.  Add them too, which is mostly the same as the pte version by
dropping the pfn field.  These helpers are essential to be used in the new
follow_pfnmap*() API to report valid pgprot_t results.

Note that arm64 doesn't yet support huge PUD yet, but it's still
straightforward to provide the pud helpers that we need altogether.  Only
PMD helpers will make an immediate benefit until arm64 will support huge
PUDs first in general (e.g.  in THPs).
