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).

Patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables", v2.

There has been much confusion around exactly when page table
constructors/destructors (pagetable_*_[cd]tor) are supposed to be called. 
They were initially introduced for user PTEs only (to support split page
table locks), then at the PMD level for the same purpose.  Accounting was
added later on, starting at the PTE level and then moving to higher levels
(PMD, PUD).  Finally, with my earlier series "Account page tables at all
levels" [1], the ctor/dtor is run for all levels, all the way to PGD.

I thought this was the end of the story, and it hopefully is for user
pgtables, but I was wrong for what concerns kernel pgtables.  The current
situation there makes very little sense:

* At the PTE level, the ctor/dtor is not called (at least in the generic
  implementation).  Specific helpers are used for kernel pgtables at this
  level (pte_{alloc,free}_kernel()) and those have never called the
  ctor/dtor, most likely because they were initially irrelevant in the
  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
used for kernel pgtables, and it would therefore be wasteful to initialise
them (ptlock_init()).

It is worth clarifying exactly when split locks are used.  They clearly
are for user pgtables, but as illustrated in commit 61444cde9170 ("ARM:
8591/1: mm: use fully constructed struct pages for EFI pgd allocations"),
they also are for special page tables like efi_mm.  The one case where
split locks are definitely unused is pgtables owned by init_mm; this is
consistent with the behaviour of apply_to_pte_range().

The approach chosen in this series is therefore to pass the mm associated
to the pgtables being constructed to pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor() (patch 1),
and skip ptlock_init() if mm == &amp;init_mm (patch 3 and 7).  This makes it
possible to call the PTE ctor/dtor from pte_{alloc,free}_kernel() without
unintended consequences (patch 3).  As a result the accounting functions
are now called at all levels for kernel pgtables, and split locks are
never initialised.

In configurations where ptlocks are dynamically allocated (32-bit,
PREEMPT_RT, etc.) and ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is selected, this
series results in the removal of a kmem_cache allocation for every kernel
PMD.  Additionally, for certain architectures that do not use
&lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; such as s390, the same optimisation occurs at the
PTE level.

===

Things get more complicated when it comes to special pgtable allocators
(patch 8-12).  All architectures need such allocators to create initial
kernel pgtables; we are not concerned with those as the ctor cannot be
called so early in the boot sequence.  However, those allocators may also
be used later in the boot sequence or during normal operations.  There are
two main use-cases:

1. Mapping EFI memory: efi_mm (arm, arm64, riscv)
2. arch_add_memory(): init_mm

The ctor is already explicitly run (at the PTE/PMD level) in the first
case, as required for pgtables that are not associated with init_mm. 
However the same allocators may also be used for the second use-case (or
others), and this is where it gets messy.  Patch 1 calls the ctor with
NULL as mm in those situations, as the actual mm isn't available. 
Practically this means that ptlocks will be unconditionally initialised. 
This is fine on arm - create_mapping_late() is only used for the EFI
mapping.  On arm64, __create_pgd_mapping() is also used by
arch_add_memory(); patch 8/9/11 ensure that ctors are called at all levels
with the appropriate mm.  The situation is similar on riscv, but
propagating the mm down to the ctor would require significant refactoring.
Since they are already called unconditionally, this series leaves riscv
no worse off - patch 10 adds comments to clarify the situation.

From a cursory look at other architectures implementing arch_add_memory(),
s390 and x86 may also need a similar treatment to add constructor calls. 
This is to be taken care of in a future version or as a follow-up.

===

The complications in those special pgtable allocators beg the question:
does it really make sense to treat efi_mm and init_mm differently in e.g. 
apply_to_pte_range()?  Maybe what we really need is a way to tell if an mm
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.

This function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

This partially reverts commit 7962c2eddbfe ("arch: remove unused function
syscall_set_arguments()") by reusing some of old syscall_set_arguments()
implementations.

Most architectures simply call pfn_pte().  Centralise that as the normal
definition and remove the definition of mk_pte() from the architectures
which have either that exact definition or something similar.

<title>parisc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers</title>
<updated>2025-05-04T18:46:27+00:00</updated>

<id>cccaea1d66e94bd42170c9372964a2ce62418fb1</id>
<content type='text'>
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.

This is mostly a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), except for some manual tweaks in the files
arch/parisc/include/asm/smp.h, arch/parisc/include/asm/signal.h,
arch/parisc/include/asm/thread_info.h and arch/parisc/include/asm/vdso.h
that had the macro spelled in a wrong way.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize

   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
