Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.
This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.
The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:
- clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
- use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.
The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.
The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where
specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.
For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.
Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:
$ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5
baseline +series
(GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev)
pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=*
pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary
pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy
[*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.
[#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).
When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
cachelines on this path almost entirely.
(The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
cond_resched().)
Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.
$ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6%
pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2%
This patch (of 8):
Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.
We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.
Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.
Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, so let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

The _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit does not really indicate that this is a new page,
but rather whether this entry needs to be synced or not. Renaming it
to _PAGE_NEEDSYNC will make it more clear how everything ties together.

Every architecture that supports FLATMEM memory model defines its own
version of pfn_valid() that essentially compares a pfn to max_mapnr.
Use mips/powerpc version implemented as static inline as a generic
implementation of pfn_valid() and drop its per-architecture definitions.

The UML function names to_virt() and to_phys() are exposed by UML
headers, and are very generic and may be defined by drivers. As it
turns out, commit 9409c9b6709e ("pmem: refactor pmem_clear_poison()")
did exactly that.
This results in build errors such as the following when trying to build
um:allmodconfig:
drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c: In function ‘pmem_dax_zero_page_range’:
./arch/um/include/asm/page.h:105:20: error: too few arguments to function ‘to_phys’
105 | #define __pa(virt) to_phys((void *) (unsigned long) (virt))
| ^~~~~~~
Use less generic function names for the um specific to_phys() and
to_virt() functions to fix the problem and to avoid similar problems in
the future.

Commit 16da306849d0 ("um: kill pfn_t") introduced a compile warning for
defconfig (SUBARCH=i386):
arch/um/kernel/skas/mmu.c:38:206:
warning: right shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
Aforementioned patch changes the definition of the phys_to_pfn() macro
from
((pfn_t) ((p) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
to
((p) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
This effectively changes the phys_to_pfn() expansion's type from
unsigned long long to unsigned long.
Through the callchain init_stub_pte() => mk_pte(), the expansion of
phys_to_pfn() is (indirectly) fed into the 'phys' argument of the
pte_set_val(pte, phys, prot) macro, eventually leading to
(pte).pte_high = (phys) >> 32;
This results in the warning from above.
Since UML only deals with 32 bit addresses, the upper 32 bits from
'phys' used to be always zero anyway. Also, all page protection flags
defined by UML don't use any bits beyond bit 9. Since the contents of a
PTE are defined within architecture scope only, the ->pte_high member
can be safely removed.
Remove the ->pte_high member from struct pte_t.
Rename ->pte_low to ->pte.
Adapt the pte helper macros in arch/um/include/asm/page.h.
Noteworthy is the pte_copy() macro where a smp_wmb() gets dropped. This
write barrier doesn't seem to be paired with any read barrier though and
thus, was useless anyway.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.
