Rewrite copy_huge_page() and move it into mm/util.c so it's always
available.  Fixes an exposure of uninitialised memory on configurations
with HUGETLB and UFFD enabled and MIGRATION disabled.

Fixes: 8cc5fcbb5be8 ("mm, hugetlb: fix racy resv_huge_pages underflow on UFFDIO_COPY")

<title>mm: introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) to synchronize setting PageOffline()</title>

<id>82840451936f0301781ece80322230fd8edfc648</id>
<content type='text'>
A driver might set a page logically offline -- PageOffline() -- and turn
the page inaccessible in the hypervisor; after that, access to page
content can be fatal.  One example is virtio-mem; while unplugged memory
-- marked as PageOffline() can currently be read in the hypervisor, this
will no longer be the case in the future; for example, when having a
virtio-mem device backed by huge pages in the hypervisor.

Some special PFN walkers -- i.e., /proc/kcore -- read content of random
pages after checking PageOffline(); however, these PFN walkers can race
with drivers that set PageOffline().

Let's introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) for synchronizing.

page_offline_freeze()/page_offline_thaw() allows for a subsystem to
synchronize with such drivers, achieving that a page cannot be set
PageOffline() while frozen.

page_offline_begin()/page_offline_end() is used by drivers that care about
such races when setting a page PageOffline().

For simplicity, use a rwsem for now; neither drivers nor users are
performance sensitive.

Simplify the code by using a temporary and reduce the object size by
using a single call to pr_cont().  Reverse a test and unindent a block
too.

page_mapping_file() is only used by some architectures, and then it
is usually only used in one place.  Make it a static inline function
so other architectures don't have to carry this dead code.

page_mapping_file() is only used by some architectures, and then it
is usually only used in one place.  Make it a static inline function
so other architectures don't have to carry this dead code.

This commit adds a few crude tests for mem_dump_obj() to rcutorture
runs.  Just to prevent bitrot, you understand!

<title>mm: Don't build mm_dump_obj() on CONFIG_PRINTK=n kernels</title>

The mem_dump_obj() functionality adds a few hundred bytes, which is a
small price to pay.  Except on kernels built with CONFIG_PRINTK=n, in
which mem_dump_obj() messages will be suppressed.  This commit therefore
makes mem_dump_obj() be a static inline empty function on kernels built
with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and excludes all of its support functions as well.
This avoids kernel bloat on systems that cannot use mem_dump_obj().

<title>mm: Make mem_dump_obj() handle vmalloc() memory</title>

This commit adds vmalloc() support to mem_dump_obj().  Note that the
vmalloc_dump_obj() function combines the checking and dumping, in
contrast with the split between kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj().
The reason for the difference is that the checking in the vmalloc()
case involves acquiring a global lock, and redundant acquisitions of
global locks should be avoided, even on not-so-fast paths.

Note that this change causes on-stack variables to be reported as
vmalloc() storage from kernel_clone() or similar, depending on the degree
of inlining that your compiler does.  This is likely more helpful than
the earlier "non-paged (local) memory".
