This requires the pagemap code to be able to recognize the newly
introduced swap special pte for uffd-wp, meanwhile the general case for
hugetlb that we recently start to support.  It should make pagemap uffd-wp
support complete.

pte_page() always returns a valid page, so remove the redundant page
validation, as we did in many other places.

Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by
using struct anon_vma_name whenever possible.  This simplifies the code
and allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they
represent the same name.

The reproducer was trying to read /proc/$PID/smaps when calling
MADV_FREE at the mean time.  MADV_FREE may split THPs if it is called
for partial THP.  It may trigger the below race:

           CPU A                         CPU B
           -----                         -----
  smaps walk:                      MADV_FREE:
  page_mapcount()
    PageCompound()
                                   split_huge_page()
    page = compound_head(page)
    PageDoubleMap(page)

When calling PageDoubleMap() this page is not a tail page of THP anymore
so the BUG is triggered.

This could be fixed by elevated refcount of the page before calling
mapcount, but that would prevent it from counting migration entries, and
it seems overkilling because the race just could happen when PMD is
split so all PTE entries of tail pages are actually migration entries,
and smaps_account() does treat migration entries as mapcount == 1 as
Kirill pointed out.

Add a new parameter for smaps_account() to tell this entry is migration
entry then skip calling page_mapcount().  Don't skip getting mapcount
for device private entries since they do track references with mapcount.

Pagemap also has the similar issue although it was not reported.  Fixed
it as well.

The patch to add anonymous vma names causes a build failure in some
configurations:

  include/linux/mm_types.h: In function 'is_same_vma_anon_name':
  include/linux/mm_types.h:924:37: error: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    924 |         return name &amp;&amp; vma_name &amp;&amp; !strcmp(name, vma_name);
        |                                     ^~~~~~
  include/linux/mm_types.h:22:1: note: 'strcmp' is defined in header '&lt;string.h&gt;'; did you forget to '#include &lt;string.h&gt;'?

This should not really be part of linux/mm_types.h in the first place,
as that header is meant to only contain structure defintions and need a
minimum set of indirect includes itself.

While the header clearly includes more than it should at this point,
let's not make it worse by including string.h as well, which would pull
in the expensive (compile-speed wise) fortify-string logic.

Move the new functions into a separate header that only needs to be
included in a couple of locations.

<content type='text'>
In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use.  At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.).  Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.

On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc.  This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages.  It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).

If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.

Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes.  It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace.  Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace.  It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.

This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas.  The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:&lt;name&gt;].

Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling

   prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)

Setting the name to NULL clears it.  The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps.  Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.

The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string.  Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name.  The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.

CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature.  It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.

The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names.  In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas.  However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.

One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names.  Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4].  I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.

This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name.  Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):

PR_SET_VMA
	Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
	starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
	size specified	in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
	to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
	area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
	memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.

	Currently, arg2 must be one of:

	PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
		Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
		be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
		name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
		80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
		anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
		can contain only printable ascii characters (including
                space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

                This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
                the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

<title>mm/smaps: simplify shmem handling of pte holes</title>

<content type='text'>
Firstly, check_shmem_swap variable is actually not necessary, because
it's always set with pte_hole hook; checking each would work.

Meanwhile, the check within smaps_pte_entry is not easy to follow.
E.g., pte_none() check is not needed as "!pte_present &amp;&amp; !is_swap_pte"
is the same.  Since at it, use the pte_hole() helper rather than dup the
page cache lookup.

Still keep the CONFIG_SHMEM part so the code can be optimized to nop for
!SHMEM.

There will be a very slight functional change in smaps_pte_entry(), that
for !SHMEM we'll return early for pte_none (before checking page==NULL),
but that's even nicer.

Firstly, check_shmem_swap variable is actually not necessary, because
it's always set with pte_hole hook; checking each would work.

Meanwhile, the check within smaps_pte_entry is not easy to follow.
E.g., pte_none() check is not needed as "!pte_present &amp;&amp; !is_swap_pte"
is the same.  Since at it, use the pte_hole() helper rather than dup the
page cache lookup.

Still keep the CONFIG_SHMEM part so the code can be optimized to nop for
!SHMEM.

There will be a very slight functional change in smaps_pte_entry(), that
for !SHMEM we'll return early for pte_none (before checking page==NULL),
but that's even nicer.

Patch series "mm/smaps: Fixes and optimizations on shmem swap handling".

This patch (of 3):

The shmem swap calculation on the privately writable mappings are using
wrong parameters as spotted by Vlastimil.  Fix them.  This was
introduced in commit 48131e03ca4e ("mm, proc: reduce cost of
/proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappings"), when shmem_swap_usage
was reworked to shmem_partial_swap_usage.

Test program:

  void main(void)
  {
      char *buffer, *p;
      int i, fd;

      fd = memfd_create("test", 0);
      assert(fd &gt; 0);

      /* isize==2M*3, fill in pages, swap them out */
      ftruncate(fd, SIZE_2M * 3);
      buffer = mmap(NULL, SIZE_2M * 3, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
      assert(buffer);
      for (i = 0, p = buffer; i &lt; SIZE_2M * 3 / 4096; i++) {
          *p = 1;
          p += 4096;
      }
      madvise(buffer, SIZE_2M * 3, MADV_PAGEOUT);
      munmap(buffer, SIZE_2M * 3);

      /*
       * Remap with private+writtable mappings on partial of the inode (&lt;= 2M*3),
       * while the size must also be &gt;= 2M*2 to make sure there's a none pmd so
       * smaps_pte_hole will be triggered.
       */
      buffer = mmap(NULL, SIZE_2M * 2, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
      printf("pid=%d, buffer=%p\n", getpid(), buffer);

      /* Check /proc/$PID/smap_rollup, should see 4MB swap */
      sleep(1000000);
  }

Before the patch, smaps_rollup shows &lt;4MB swap and the number will be
random depending on the alignment of the buffer of mmap() allocated.
After this patch, it'll show 4MB.
