<content type='text'>
With numa balancing on, when a numa system is running where a numa node
doesn't have its local memory so it has no managed zones, the following
oops has been observed.  It's because wakeup_kswapd() is called with a
wrong zone index, -1.  Fixed it by checking the index before calling
wakeup_kswapd().

<title>mm/migrate: preserve exact soft-dirty state</title>

pte_mkdirty() sets both _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bits.  The
_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY can get set even if it wasn't set on original page before
migration.  This makes non-soft-dirty pages soft-dirty just because of
migration/compaction.  Clear the _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY flag if it wasn't set on
original page.

By definition of soft-dirty feature, there can be spurious soft-dirty
pages because of kernel's internal activity such as VMA merging or
migration/compaction.  This patch is eliminating the spurious soft-dirty
pages because of migration/compaction.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Generic:

   - Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.

   - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
     architectures.

   - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting

   - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
     creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
     to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
     cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
     resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
     be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
     anonymous memory.

   - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
     per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
     only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
     guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
     TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
     guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
     the case of pKVM).

  x86:

   - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
     guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
     useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
     provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.

   - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
     during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.

   - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
     non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
     a non-huge SPTE.

   - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
     care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.

   - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
     stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
     (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.

   - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
     TLB_CONTROL.

   - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
     always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
     requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
     Workstation on top of KVM.

   - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
     support.

   - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
     intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs

   - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)

   - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
     and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.

   - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
     using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
     counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
     recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
     count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
     and for KVM-triggered overflow.

   - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
     inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
     problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
     builds.

   - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
     IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".

   - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
     current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
     kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
     hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.

   - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
     fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
     make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.

   - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
     CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
     code.

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
     "emulation" at build time.

  ARM64:

   - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
     granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
     feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
     branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
     introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
     that version of the architecture.

   - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.

  Loongarch:

   - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking

   - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues

   - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support

  RISC-V:

   - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers

   - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
     selftest

   - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest

  s390:

   - Bugfixes

  Selftests:

   - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
     instead of the magic token needed to run the test.

   - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
     flag in the Makefile.

   - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
     message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.

   - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
     the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

   - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
     non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
     a non-huge SPTE.

   - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
     care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.

   - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
     stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
     (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.

   - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
     TLB_CONTROL.

   - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
     always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
     requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
     Workstation on top of KVM.

   - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
     support.

   - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
     intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs

   - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)

   - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
     and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.

   - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
     using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
     counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
     recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
     count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
     and for KVM-triggered overflow.

   - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
     inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
     problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
     builds.

   - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
     IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".

   - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
     current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
     kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
     hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.

   - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
     fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
     make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.

   - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
     CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
     code.

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
     "emulation" at build time.

  ARM64:

   - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
     granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
     feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
     branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
     introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
     that version of the architecture.

   - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.

  Loongarch:

   - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking

   - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues

   - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support

  RISC-V:

   - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers

   - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
     selftest

   - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest

  s390:

   - Bugfixes

  Selftests:

   - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
     instead of the magic token needed to run the test.

   - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
     flag in the Makefile.

   - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
     message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.

   - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
     the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

hugetlb rmap handling differs quite a lot from "ordinary" rmap code.  For
example, hugetlb currently only supports entire mappings, and treats any
mapping as mapped using a single "logical PTE".  Let's move it out of the
way so we can overhaul our "ordinary" rmap.  implementation/interface.

Right now we're using page_dup_file_rmap() in some cases where "ordinary"
rmap code would have used page_add_file_rmap().  So let's introduce and
use hugetlb_add_file_rmap() instead.  We won't be adding a
"hugetlb_dup_file_rmap()" functon for the fork() case, as it would be
doing the same: "dup" is just an optimization for "add".

What remains is a single page_dup_file_rmap() call in fork() code.

Add sanity checks that we end up with the right folios in the right
functions.

<title>mm/rmap: rename hugepage_add* to hugetlb_add*</title>

Patch series "mm/rmap: interface overhaul", v2.

This series overhauls the rmap interface, to get rid of the "bool
compound" / RMAP_COMPOUND parameter with the goal of making the interface
less error prone, more future proof, and more natural to extend to
"batching".  Also, this converts the interface to always consume
folio+subpage, which speeds up operations on large folios.

Further, this series adds PTE-batching variants for 4 rmap functions,
whereby only folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes() is used for batching in this
series when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP.  folio_remove_rmap_ptes(),
folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_ptes() and folio_dup_file_rmap_ptes() will soon
come in handy[1,2].

This series performs a lot of folio conversion along the way.  Most of the
added LOC in the diff are only due to documentation.

As we're moving to a pte/pmd interface where we clearly express the
mapping granularity we are dealing with, we first get the remainder of
hugetlb out of the way, as it is special and expected to remain special:
it treats everything as a "single logical PTE" and only currently allows
entire mappings.

Even if we'd ever support partial mappings, I strongly assume the
interface and implementation will still differ heavily: hopefull we can
avoid working on subpages/subpage mapcounts completely and only add a
"count" parameter for them to enable batching.

New (extended) hugetlb interface that operates on entire folio:
 * hugetlb_add_new_anon_rmap() -&gt; Already existed
 * hugetlb_add_anon_rmap() -&gt; Already existed
 * hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap()
 * hugetlb_try_share_anon_rmap()
 * hugetlb_add_file_rmap()
 * hugetlb_remove_rmap()

New "ordinary" interface for small folios / THP::
 * folio_add_new_anon_rmap() -&gt; Already existed
 * folio_add_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_try_share_anon_rmap_[pte|pmd]()
 * folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_dup_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()

folio_add_new_anon_rmap() will always map at the largest granularity
possible (currently, a single PMD to cover a PMD-sized THP).  Could be
extended if ever required.

In the future, we might want "_pud" variants and eventually "_pmds"
variants for batching.

I ran some simple microbenchmarks on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4210R:
measuring munmap(), fork(), cow, MADV_DONTNEED on each PTE ...  and PTE
remapping PMD-mapped THPs on 1 GiB of memory.

For small folios, there is barely a change (&lt; 1% improvement for me).

For PTE-mapped THP:
* PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP is more than 10% faster.
* fork() is more than 4% faster.
* MADV_DONTNEED is 2% faster
* COW when writing only a single byte on a COW-shared PTE is 1% faster
* munmap() barely changes (&lt; 1%).

This patch (of 40):

Let's just call it "hugetlb_".

Yes, it's all already inconsistent and confusing because we have a lot of
"hugepage_" functions for legacy reasons.  But "hugetlb" cannot possibly
be confused with transparent huge pages, and it matches "hugetlb.c" and
"folio_test_hugetlb()".  So let's minimize confusion in rmap code.
