Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

When OpenRISC enables PCI it allows for more drivers to be compiled
resulting in exposing the following with -Werror.

    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c: In function 'rivafb_probe':
    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c:2062:42: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

    drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c:1231:41: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

Most architectures define the iounmap argument to be volatile.  To fix this
issue we do the same for OpenRISC.  This patch must go before PCI is enabled on
OpenRISC to avoid any compile failures.

I have been developing a new qemu virt platform to help with more
efficient toolchain and kernel testing [1].

This patch adds the defconfig which is needed to support booting
linux on the platform.

<title>openrisc: Add pci bus support</title>

<id>ded2ee36313c941f1a12b6f85cde295b575264ae</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds required definitions to allow for PCI buses on OpenRISC.
This is being tested on the OpenRISC QEMU virt platform which is in
development.

OpenRISC does not have IO ports so we keep the definition of
IO_SPACE_LIMIT and PIO_RESERVED to be 0.

Note, since commit 66bcd06099bb ("parport_pc: Also enable driver for PCI
systems") all platforms that support PCI also need to support parallel
port.  We add a generic header to support compiling parallel port
drivers, though they generally will not work as they require IO ports.

<content type='text'>
Now all the platforms enable ARCH_HAS_GET_PAGE_PROT.  They define and
export own vm_get_page_prot() whether custom or standard
DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT.  Hence there is no need for default generic
fallback for vm_get_page_prot().  Just drop this fallback and also
ARCH_HAS_GET_PAGE_PROT mechanism.

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports
standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT,
which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array.  Subsequently
all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

<title>mm: avoid unnecessary page fault retires on shared memory types</title>

<id>d92725256b4f22d084b813b37ddc394da79aacab</id>
<content type='text'>
I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page.  It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).

Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.

However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.

It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.

To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.

To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock.  It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.

This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:

  Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
  After:  569.396 ms (+-1.38%)

I believe it could help more than that.

We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.

Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.

I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.
