We are adjusting struct page to make it smaller, removing unneeded fields
which correctly belong to struct folio.

Two of those fields are page-&gt;index and page-&gt;mapping. Perf is currently
making use of both of these. This is unnecessary. This patch eliminates
this.

Perf establishes its own internally controlled memory-mapped pages using
vm_ops hooks. The first page in the mapping is the read/write user control
page, and the rest of the mapping consists of read-only pages.

The VMA is backed by kernel memory either from the buddy allocator or
vmalloc depending on configuration. It is intended to be mapped read/write,
but because it has a page_mkwrite() hook, vma_wants_writenotify() indicates
that it should be mapped read-only.

When a write fault occurs, the provided page_mkwrite() hook,
perf_mmap_fault() (doing double duty handing faults as well) uses the
vmf-&gt;pgoff field to determine if this is the first page, allowing for the
desired read/write first page, read-only rest mapping.

For this to work the implementation has to carefully work around faulting
logic. When a page is write-faulted, the fault() hook is called first, then
its page_mkwrite() hook is called (to allow for dirty tracking in file
systems).

On fault we set the folio's mapping in perf_mmap_fault(), this is because
when do_page_mkwrite() is subsequently invoked, it treats a missing mapping
as an indicator that the fault should be retried.

We also set the folio's index so, given the folio is being treated as faux
user memory, it correctly references its offset within the VMA.

This explains why the mapping and index fields are used - but it's not
necessary.

We preallocate pages when perf_mmap() is called for the first time via
rb_alloc(), and further allocate auxiliary pages via rb_aux_alloc() as
needed if the mapping requires it.

This allocation is done in the f_ops-&gt;mmap() hook provided in perf_mmap(),
and so we can instead simply map all the memory right away here - there's
no point in handling (read) page faults when we don't demand page nor need
to be notified about them (perf does not).

This patch therefore changes this logic to map everything when the mmap()
hook is called, establishing a PFN map. It implements vm_ops-&gt;pfn_mkwrite()
to provide the required read/write vs. read-only behaviour, which does not
require the previously implemented workarounds.

While it is not ideal to use a VM_PFNMAP here, doing anything else will
result in the page_mkwrite() hook need to be provided, which requires the
same page-&gt;mapping hack this patch seeks to undo.

It will also result in the pages being treated as folios and placed on the
rmap, which really does not make sense for these mappings.

Semantically it makes sense to establish this as some kind of special
mapping, as the pages are managed by perf and are not strictly user pages,
but currently the only means by which we can do so functionally while
maintaining the required R/W and R/O behaviour is a PFN map.

There should be no change to actual functionality as a result of this
change.

Currently, space for raw sample data is always allocated within sample
records for both BPF output and tracepoint events. This leads to unused
space in sample records when raw sample data is not requested.

This patch enforces checking sample type of an event in
perf_sample_save_raw_data(). So raw sample data will only be saved if
explicitly requested, reducing overhead when it is not needed.

<title>perf/core: Correct perf sampling with guest VMs</title>

<content type='text'>
Previously any PMU overflow interrupt that fired while a VCPU was
loaded was recorded as a guest event whether it truly was or not. This
resulted in nonsense perf recordings that did not honor
perf_event_attr.exclude_guest and recorded guest IPs where it should
have recorded host IPs.

Rework the sampling logic to only record guest samples for events with
exclude_guest = 0. This way any host-only events with exclude_guest
set will never see unexpected guest samples. The behaviour of events
with exclude_guest = 0 is unchanged.

Note that events configured to sample both host and guest may still
misattribute a PMI that arrived in the host as a guest event depending
on KVM arch and vendor behavior.

For clarity, rename the arch-specific definitions of these functions
to perf_arch_* to denote they are arch-specifc. Define the
generic-named functions in one place where they can call the
arch-specific ones as needed.

<title>perf/core: update min_heap_callbacks to use default builtin swap</title>

<content type='text'>
After introducing the default builtin swap implementation, update the
min_heap_callbacks to replace the swp function pointer with NULL.  This
change allows the min heap to directly utilize the builtin swap,
simplifying the code.
