<id>urn:sha1:186739e83333dc2a0222b739124e61bd523e2377</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c87cbc1f007c4b46165f05ceca04e1973cda0b9c upstream.

Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
fixed memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page
goes through page freeing, which removes the direct mapping.  Some arches
don't like when the page is not mapped in the first place, so
generic_online_page() maps it first.  This is somewhat wasteful, but
better than special casing page freeing fast paths.

The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean
it's actually enabled.  One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since
031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime
configurable"), or alternatively debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since
8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early"),
but this is not done.

As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled
will crash:

Fix this by checking debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() before calling
kernel_map_pages(). Backports for kernel before 5.5 should use
debug_pagealloc_enabled() instead. Also add comments.

<title>mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled.  It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.

However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch().  x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g.  ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.

To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f281d.  Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable.  Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.

<title>mm/memory.c: add apply_to_existing_page_range() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
apply_to_page_range() takes an address range, and if any parts of it are
not covered by the existing page table hierarchy, it allocates memory to
fill them in.

In some use cases, this is not what we want - we want to be able to
operate exclusively on PTEs that are already in the tables.

Add apply_to_existing_page_range() for this.  Adjust the walker
functions for apply_to_page_range to take 'create', which switches them
between the old and new modes.

This will be used in KASAN vmalloc.

batch and high limits but this action is internal to the VM.  Move the

Currently soft_offline_page() receives struct page, and its sibling
memory_failure() receives pfn.  This discrepancy looks weird and makes
precheck on pfn validity tricky.  So let's align them.

The asm-generic/pgtable.h include file appears to be the correct place for
the backup x_devmap() inline functions.  Moving them here is also
necessary if we want to include x_devmap() in the [pmd|pud]_unstable
functions.  So move the x_devmap() functions to asm-generic/pgtable.h

<title>rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm</title>

When a process updates the RSS of a different process, the rss_stat
tracepoint appears in the context of the process doing the update.  This
can confuse userspace that the RSS of process doing the update is
updated, while in reality a different process's RSS was updated.

This issue happens in reclaim paths such as with direct reclaim or
background reclaim.

This patch adds more information to the tracepoint about whether the mm
being updated belongs to the current process's context (curr field).  We
also include a hash of the mm pointer so that the process who the mm
belongs to can be uniquely identified (mm_id field).

Also vsprintf.c is refactored a bit to allow reuse of hashing code.

<content type='text'>
Useful to track how RSS is changing per TGID to detect spikes in RSS and
memory hogs.  Several Android teams have been using this patch in
various kernel trees for half a year now.  Many reported to me it is
really useful so I'm posting it upstream.

Initial patch developed by Tim Murray.  Changes I made from original
patch: o Prevent any additional space consumed by mm_struct.

Regarding the fact that the RSS may change too often thus flooding the
traces - note that, there is some "hysterisis" with this already.  That
is - We update the counter only if we receive 64 page faults due to
SPLIT_RSS_ACCOUNTING.  However, during zapping or copying of pte range,
the RSS is updated immediately which can become noisy/flooding.  In a
previous discussion, we agreed that BPF or ftrace can be used to rate
limit the signal if this becomes an issue.

Also note that I added wrappers to trace_rss_stat to prevent compiler
errors where linux/mm.h is included from tracing code, causing errors
such as:

Graphics APIs like OpenGL 4.4 and Vulkan require the graphics driver
to provide coherent graphics memory, meaning that the GPU sees any
content written to the coherent memory on the next GPU operation that
touches that memory, and the CPU sees any content written by the GPU
to that memory immediately after any fence object trailing the GPU
operation is signaled.

Paravirtual drivers that otherwise require explicit synchronization
needs to do this by hooking up dirty tracking to pagefault handlers
and buffer object validation.

Provide mm helpers needed for this and that also allow for huge pmd-
and pud entries (patch 1-3), and the associated vmwgfx code (patch 4-7).

The code has been tested and exercised by a tailored version of mesa
where we disable all explicit synchronization and assume graphics memory
is coherent. The performance loss varies of course; a typical number is
around 5%.
