Let's test some basic functionality using /dev/mem.  These tests will
implicitly cover some PAT (Page Attribute Handling) handling on x86.

These tests will only run when /dev/mem access to the first two pages in
physical address space is possible and allowed; otherwise, the tests are
skipped.

On current x86-64 with PAT inside a VM, all tests pass:

	TAP version 13
	1..6
	# Starting 6 tests from 1 test cases.
	#  RUN           pfnmap.madvise_disallowed ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.madvise_disallowed
	ok 1 pfnmap.madvise_disallowed
	#  RUN           pfnmap.munmap_split ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.munmap_split
	ok 2 pfnmap.munmap_split
	#  RUN           pfnmap.mremap_fixed ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.mremap_fixed
	ok 3 pfnmap.mremap_fixed
	#  RUN           pfnmap.mremap_shrink ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.mremap_shrink
	ok 4 pfnmap.mremap_shrink
	#  RUN           pfnmap.mremap_expand ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.mremap_expand
	ok 5 pfnmap.mremap_expand
	#  RUN           pfnmap.fork ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.fork
	ok 6 pfnmap.fork
	# PASSED: 6 / 6 tests passed.
	# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

However, we are able to trigger:

[   27.888251] x86/PAT: pfnmap:1790 freeing invalid memtype [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff]

There are probably more things worth testing in the future, such as
MAP_PRIVATE handling.  But this set of tests is sufficient to cover most
of the things we will rework regarding PAT handling.

<title>tools/testing/selftests: assert that anon merge cases behave as expected</title>

<content type='text'>
Prior to the recently applied commit that permits this merge,
mprotect()'ing a faulted VMA, adjacent to an unfaulted VMA, such that the
two share characteristics would fail to merge due to what appear to be
unintended consequences of commit 965f55dea0e3 ("mmap: avoid merging
cloned VMAs").

Now we have fixed this bug, assert that we can indeed merge anonymous VMAs
this way.

Also assert that forked source/target VMAs are equally rejected. 
Previously, all empty target anon merges with one VMA faulted and the
other unfaulted would be rejected incorrectly, now we ensure that unforked
merge, but forked do not.

Additionally, add the new test file to the MEMORY MAPPING section in
MAINTAINERS, as these tests are explicitly memory mapping related.

The feature formerly referred to as guard pages is more correctly referred
to as 'guard regions', as in fact no pages are ever allocated in the
process of installing the regions.

To avoid confusion, rename the tests accordingly.

<content type='text'>
Introduce a test that registers a range of memory for
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP without UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_REMAP.  First check
that the uffd-wp bit is set for every PTE in the range.  Then mremap() the
range to a new location and check that the uffd-wp bit is clear for every
PTE in the range.

Run the test for small folios, all supported THP sizes and all supported
hugetlb sizes, and for swapped out memory, shared and private.

There was previously a bug in the kernel where the uffd-wp bits remained
set in all PTEs for this case, after fixing the kernel, the tests all
pass.

<title>selftests/mm: use sys_pkey helpers consistently</title>

<content type='text'>
sys_pkey_alloc, sys_pkey_free and sys_mprotect_pkey are currently used in
protections_keys.c, while pkey_sighandler_tests.c calls the libc wrappers
directly (e.g.  pkey_mprotect()).  This is probably ok when using glibc
(those symbols appeared a while ago), but Musl does not currently provide
them.  The logging in the helpers from pkey-helpers.h can also come in
handy.

Make things more consistent by using the sys_pkey helpers in
pkey_sighandler_tests.c too.  To that end their implementation is moved to
a common .c file (pkey_util.c).  This also enables calling
is_pkeys_supported() outside of protections_keys.c, since it relies on
sys_pkey_{alloc,free}.

The mm kselftests are currently built with no optimisation (-O0).  It's
unclear why, and besides being obviously suboptimal, this also prevents
the pkeys tests from working as intended.  Let's build all the tests with
-O2.

<id>fcc79e1714e8c2b8e216dc3149812edd37884eef</id>

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
     introspection.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
     introspection.

page_frag test module is an out of tree module, but built
using KDIR as the main kernel tree, the mm test suite is
just getting skipped if newly added page_frag test module
fails to compile due to kernel not yet compiled.

Fix the above problem by ensuring both kernel is built first
and a newer kernel which has page_frag_cache.h is used.
