<content type='text'>
It is very unclear to me how one is supposed to run all the mm selftests
consistently and get clear results.

Most of the test programs are launched by both run_vmtests.sh and
run_kselftest.sh:

  hugepage-mmap
  hugepage-shm
  map_hugetlb
  hugepage-mremap
  hugepage-vmemmap
  hugetlb-madvise
  map_fixed_noreplace
  gup_test
  gup_longterm
  uffd-unit-tests
  uffd-stress
  compaction_test
  on-fault-limit
  map_populate
  mlock-random-test
  mlock2-tests
  mrelease_test
  mremap_test
  thuge-gen
  virtual_address_range
  va_high_addr_switch
  mremap_dontunmap
  hmm-tests
  madv_populate
  memfd_secret
  ksm_tests
  ksm_functional_tests
  soft-dirty
  cow

However, of this set, when launched by run_vmtests.sh, some of the
programs are invoked multiple times with different arguments. When
invoked by run_kselftest.sh, they are invoked without arguments (and as
a consequence, some fail immediately).

Some test programs are only launched by run_vmtests.sh:

  test_vmalloc.sh

And some test programs and only launched by run_kselftest.sh:

  khugepaged
  migration
  mkdirty
  transhuge-stress
  split_huge_page_test
  mdwe_test
  write_to_hugetlbfs

Furthermore, run_vmtests.sh is invoked by run_kselftest.sh, so in this
case all the test programs invoked by both scripts are run twice!

Needless to say, this is a bit of a mess. In the absence of fully
understanding the history here, it looks to me like the best solution is
to launch ALL test programs from run_vmtests.sh, and ONLY invoke
run_vmtests.sh from run_kselftest.sh. This way, we get full control over
the parameters, each program is only invoked the intended number of
times, and regardless of which script is used, the same tests get run in
the same way.

The only drawback is that if using run_kselftest.sh, it's top-level tap
result reporting reports only a single test and it fails if any of the
contained tests fail. I don't see this as a big deal though since we
still see all the nested reporting from multiple layers. The other issue
with this is that all of run_vmtests.sh must execute within a single
kselftest timeout period, so let's increase that to something more
suitable.

In the Makefile, TEST_GEN_PROGS will compile and install the tests and
will add them to the list of tests that run_kselftest.sh will run.
TEST_GEN_FILES will compile and install the tests but will not add them
to the test list. So let's move all the programs from TEST_GEN_PROGS to
TEST_GEN_FILES so that they are built but not executed by
run_kselftest.sh. Note that run_vmtests.sh is added to TEST_PROGS, which
means it ends up in the test list. (the lack of "_GEN" means it won't be
compiled, but simply copied).

<title>selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests on arm64</title>

arm64 does not support the soft-dirty PTE bit.  However, the `soft-dirty`
test suite is currently run unconditionally and therefore generates
spurious test failures on arm64.  There are also some tests in
`madv_populate` which assume it is supported.

For `soft-dirty` lets disable the whole suite for arm64; it is no longer
built and run_vmtests.sh will skip it if its not present.

For `madv_populate`, we need a runtime mechanism so that the remaining
tests continue to be run.  Unfortunately, the only way to determine if the
soft-dirty dirty bit is supported is to write to a page, then see if the
bit is set in /proc/self/pagemap.  But the tests that we want to
conditionally execute are testing precicesly this.  So if we introduced
this feature check, we could accedentally turn a real failure (on a system
that claims to support soft-dirty) into a skip.  So instead, do the check
based on architecture; for arm64, we report that soft-dirty is not
supported.

Add tests for the improvement made to read operation on HWPOISON
hugetlb page with different read granularities. For each chunk size,
three read scenarios are tested:
1. Simple regression test on read without HWPOISON.
2. Sequential read page by page should succeed until encounters the 1st
   raw HWPOISON subpage.
3. After skip a raw HWPOISON subpage by lseek, read()s always succeed.

It is wrong to include unprocessed user header files directly.  They are
processed to "&lt;source_tree&gt;/usr/include" by running "make headers" and
they are included in selftests by kselftest makefiles automatically with
help of KHDR_INCLUDES variable.  These headers should always bulilt first
before building kselftests.

<title>selftests/mm: fix cross compilation with LLVM</title>

Currently the MM selftests attempt to work out the target architecture by
using CROSS_COMPILE or otherwise querying the host machine, storing the
target architecture in a variable called MACHINE rather than the usual
ARCH though as far as I can tell (including for x86_64) the value is the
same as we would use for architecture.

When cross compiling with LLVM we don't need a CROSS_COMPILE as LLVM can
support many target architectures in a single build so this logic does not
work, CROSS_COMPILE is not set and we end up selecting tests for the host
rather than target architecture.  Fix this by using the more standard ARCH
to describe the architecture, taking it from the environment if specified.

<content type='text'>
Let's add a new test for checking whether GUP long-term page pinning works
as expected (R/O vs.  R/W, MAP_PRIVATE vs.  MAP_SHARED, GUP vs. 
GUP-fast).  Note that COW handling with long-term R/O pinning in private
mappings, and pinning of anonymous memory in general, is tested by the COW
selftest.  This test, therefore, focuses on page pinning in file mappings.

The most interesting case is probably the "local tmpfile" case, as that
will likely end up on a "real" filesystem such as ext4 or xfs, not on a
virtual one like tmpfs or hugetlb where any long-term page pinning is
always expected to succeed.

For now, only add tests that use the "/sys/kernel/debug/gup_test"
interface.  We'll add tests based on liburing separately next.

For now, only add tests that use the "/sys/kernel/debug/gup_test"
interface.  We'll add tests based on liburing separately next.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

<title>selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM</title>

<content type='text'>
This adds three new tests to the selftests for KSM.  These tests use the
new prctl API's to enable and disable KSM.

1) add new prctl flags to prctl header file in tools dir

   This adds the new prctl flags to the include file prct.h in the
   tools directory.  This makes sure they are available for testing.

2) add KSM prctl merge test to ksm_tests

   This adds the -t option to the ksm_tests program.  The -t flag
   allows to specify if it should use madvise or prctl ksm merging.

3) add two functions for debugging merge outcome for ksm_tests

   This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat
   and /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. The debug output is enabled with the
   -d option.

4) add KSM prctl test to ksm_functional_tests

   This adds a test to the ksm_functional_test that verifies that the
   prctl system call to enable / disable KSM works.

5) add KSM fork test to ksm_functional_test

   Add fork test to verify that the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is inherited
   by the child process.
