Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int.  This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.

This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

  There's more work coming in that direction next cycle. The rest below
  goes into some details and background

  Coredumping currently supports two modes:

   (1) Dumping directly into a file somewhere on the filesystem.

   (2) Dumping into a pipe connected to a usermode helper process
       spawned as a child of the system_unbound_wq or kthreadd

  For simplicity I'm mostly ignoring (1). There's probably still some
  users of (1) out there but processing coredumps in this way can be
  considered adventurous especially in the face of set*id binaries

  The most common option should be (2) by now. It works by allowing
  userspace to put a string into /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern like:

          |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h

  The "|" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that a pipe must be
  used. The path following the pipe indicator is a path to a binary that
  will be spawned as a usermode helper process. Any additional
  parameters pass information about the task that is generating the
  coredump to the binary that processes the coredump

  In the example the core_pattern shown causes the kernel to spawn
  systemd-coredump as a usermode helper. There's various conceptual
  consequences of this (non-exhaustive list):

   - systemd-coredump is spawned with file descriptor number 0 (stdin)
     connected to the read-end of the pipe. All other file descriptors
     are closed. That specifically includes 1 (stdout) and 2 (stderr).

     This has already caused bugs because userspace assumed that this
     cannot happen (Whether or not this is a sane assumption is
     irrelevant)

   - systemd-coredump will be spawned as a child of system_unbound_wq.
     So it is not a child of any userspace process and specifically not
     a child of PID 1. It cannot be waited upon and is in a weird hybrid
     upcall which are difficult for userspace to control correctly

   - systemd-coredump is spawned with full kernel privileges. This
     necessitates all kinds of weird privilege dropping excercises in
     userspace to make this safe

   - A new usermode helper has to be spawned for each crashing process

  This adds a new mode:

   (3) Dumping into an AF_UNIX socket

  Userspace can set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to:

          @/path/to/coredump.socket

  The "@" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that an AF_UNIX
  coredump socket will be used to process coredumps

  The coredump socket must be located in the initial mount namespace.
  When a task coredumps it opens a client socket in the initial network
  namespace and connects to the coredump socket:

   - The coredump server uses SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the
     connected crashing task. The retrieved pidfd will provide a stable
     reference even if the crashing task gets SIGKILLed while generating
     the coredump. That is a huge attack vector right now

   - By setting core_pipe_limit non-zero userspace can guarantee that
     the crashing task cannot be reaped behind it's back and thus
     process all necessary information in /proc/<pid>. The SO_PEERPIDFD
     can be used to detect whether /proc/<pid> still refers to the same
     process

     The core_pipe_limit isn't used to rate-limit connections to the
     socket. This can simply be done via AF_UNIX socket directly

   - The pidfd for the crashing task will contain information how the
     task coredumps. The PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl gained a new flag
     PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP which can be used to retreive the coredump
     information

     If the coredump gets a new coredump client connection the kernel
     guarantees that PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP information is available.

     Currently the following information is provided in the new
     @coredump_mask extension to struct pidfd_info:

      * PIDFD_COREDUMPED is raised if the task did actually coredump

      * PIDFD_COREDUMP_SKIP is raised if the task skipped coredumping
        (e.g., undumpable)

      * PIDFD_COREDUMP_USER is raised if this is a regular coredump and
        doesn't need special care by the coredump server

      * PIDFD_COREDUMP_ROOT is raised if the generated coredump should
        be treated as sensitive and the coredump server should restrict
        access to the generated coredump to sufficiently privileged
        users"

  kernel case.

* At all other levels, the ctor/dtor is normally called.  This is
  potentially wasteful at the PMD level (more on that later).

This series aims to ensure that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel
pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables.  Besides consistency, the
main motivation is to guarantee that ctor/dtor hooks are systematically
called; this makes it possible to insert hooks to protect page tables [2],
for instance.  There is however an extra challenge: split locks are not

It is worth clarifying exactly when split locks are used.  They clearly

corresponds to user memory or not, and never use split locks for non-user
mm's.  Feedback and suggestions welcome!


This patch (of 12):

In preparation for calling constructors for all kernel page tables while
eliding unnecessary ptlock initialisation, let's pass down the associated
mm to the PTE/PMD level ctors.  (These are the two levels where ptlocks
are used.)

In most cases the mm is already around at the point of calling the ctor so
we simply pass it down.  This is however not the case for special page
table allocators:

* arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
* arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c
* arch/riscv/mm/init.c

In those cases, the page tables being allocated are either for standard
kernel memory (init_mm) or special page directories, which may not be
associated to any mm.  For now let's pass NULL as mm; this will be refined
where possible in future patches.

No functional change in this patch.
