Commit 9385/2 introduced a few branches inside function
prototypes when using CFI in order to deal with the situation
where CFI inserts a few bytes of function information in front
of the symbol.
This is not good for older CPUs where every cycle counts.
Commit 9386/2 alleviated the situation a bit by using aliases
for the cache functions with identical signatures.
This leaves the coherent cache flush functions
*_coherent_kern_range() with these branches to the corresponing
*_coherent_user_range() around, since their return type differ and
they therefore cannot be aliased.
Solve this by a simple ifdef so at least we can use fallthroughs
when compiling without CFI enabled.

Each CPU type ("proc") has assembly calls for initializing and
setting up the MM context, idle and so forth.
These calls have the C form of e.g.:
void cpu_arm920_init(void);
However this prototype is not really specified, instead it is
generated by the glue code in <asm/glue-proc.h> and the prototype
is implicit from the generic prototype defined in <asm/proc-fns.h>
such as cpu_proc_init() in this case. (This is a bit similar to
the "interface" or inheritance concept in other languages.)
To be able to annotate these assembly calls for CFI, they all need
to have a proper C prototype per CPU call.
Define these in a new C file that is only compiled when we use
CFI, and add __ADDRESSABLE() to each so the compiler knows that
these will be addressed (they are not explicitly called in C, they
are called by way of cpu_proc_init() etc).
It is a bit of definitions, but we do not expect new ARM32 CPUs
to appear very much so it should be pretty static.

Instead of defining all cache flush operations with an assembly
macro in proc-macros.S, provide an explicit struct cpu_cache_fns
for each CPU cache type in mm/cache.c.
As a side effect from rewriting the vtables in C, we can
avoid the aliasing for the "louis" cache callback, instead we
can just assign the NN_flush_kern_cache_all() function to the
louis callback in the C vtable.
As the louis cache callback is called explicitly (not through the
vtable) if we only have one type of cache support compiled in, we
need an ifdef quirk for this in the !MULTI_CACHE case.
Feroceon and XScale have some dma mapping quirk, in this case we
can just define two structs and assign all but one callback to the
main implementation; since each of them invoked define_cache_functions
twice they require MULTI_CACHE by definition so the compiled-in
shortcut is not used on these variants.

The cache functions to flush user cache (*_flush_user_cache_all)
are in many cases just a branch to the corresponfing userspace or
kernelspace function. These functions also have the same arguments.
Simplify these by using SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() in all affected sites.
The NOP cache has very many similar calls which are just returns,
but it would be confusing to use aliases here, so leave all the
explicit returns and drop a comment on why we are not using aliases.

Tag all references to assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START()
and SYM_FUNC_END() so they also become CFI-safe.
When we add SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() to assembly calls, a function
prototype signature will be emitted into the object file at
(pc-4) at the call site, so that the KCFI runtime check can compare
this to the expected call. Example:
8011ae38: a540670c .word 0xa540670c
8011ae3c <v7_flush_icache_all>:
8011ae3c: e3a00000 mov r0, #0
8011ae40: ee070f11 mcr 15, 0, r0, cr7, cr1, {0}
8011ae44: e12fff1e bx lr
This means no "fallthrough" code can enter a SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START()
call from above it: there will be a function prototype signature
there, so those are consistently converted to a branch or ret lr
depending on context.

Instead of avoiding CFI entirely on the TLB flush helpers, reorganize
the code so that the CFI machinery can deal with it. The important
things to take into account are:
- functions in asm called indirectly from C need to be defined using
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START()
- a reference to the asm function needs to be visible to the compiler,
in order to get it to emit the typeid symbol.
The latter means that defining the cpu_tlb_fns structs is best done from
C code, so that the references in the static initializers will be
visible to the compiler.

With LPAE enabled, privileged no-access cannot be enforced using CPU
domains as such feature is not available. This patch implements PAN
by disabling TTBR0 page table walks while in kernel mode.
The ARM architecture allows page table walks to be split between TTBR0
and TTBR1. With LPAE enabled, the split is defined by a combination of
TTBCR T0SZ and T1SZ bits. Currently, an LPAE-enabled kernel uses TTBR0
for user addresses and TTBR1 for kernel addresses with the VMSPLIT_2G
and VMSPLIT_3G configurations. The main advantage for the 3:1 split is
that TTBR1 is reduced to 2 levels, so potentially faster TLB refill
(though usually the first level entries are already cached in the TLB).
The PAN support on LPAE-enabled kernels uses TTBR0 when running in user
space or in kernel space during user access routines (TTBCR T0SZ and
T1SZ are both 0). When running user accesses are disabled in kernel
mode, TTBR0 page table walks are disabled by setting TTBCR.EPD0. TTBR1
is used for kernel accesses (including loadable modules; anything
covered by swapper_pg_dir) by reducing the TTBCR.T0SZ to the minimum
(2^(32-7) = 32MB). To avoid user accesses potentially hitting stale TLB
entries, the ASID is switched to 0 (reserved) by setting TTBCR.A1 and
using the ASID value in TTBR1. The difference from a non-PAN kernel is
that with the 3:1 memory split, TTBR1 always uses 3 levels of page
tables.
As part of the change we are using preprocessor elif definied() clauses
so balance these clauses by converting relevant precedingt ifdef
clauses to if defined() clauses.

reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:

tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the

- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"

order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series

Since commit a4d5613c4d ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. A valid page for an address which
is reserved but not mapped by the kernel[1], the system crashed during
some uio test with the following memory layout:

ioremap_page_range() should be used for ranges within vmalloc range only.
The vmalloc ranges are allocated by get_vm_area(). PCI has "resource"
allocator that manages PCI_IOBASE, IO_SPACE_LIMIT address range, hence
introduce vmap_page_range() to be used exclusively to map pages
in PCI address space.

This ARM11 SMP configuration was one of the first SMP configurations
the ARM kernel supported, but it has the downside of odd DMA handling,
odd cache tagging, and often (as of recent) completely broken cache
handling on the ARM RealView PB11MPCore test chips. To boot the
platform it was necessary to completely disable the cache.
When it comes to the EB 11MPCore it is unclear if this ever worked.
These reference designs are now the only ARMv6K SMP platforms.
As only reference designs of purely academic interest remain, and
since the special-cased DMA and PMU code is hard to maintain and
doesn't really work, it is not really worth our time.
Delete the ARM11MPCore support along with:
- The special DMA quirk CONFIG_DMA_CACHE_RWFO that is only used
on ARMv6K SMP, and we are the last ARMV6K system leaving the
building and the cache handling is awkward, so good-bye.
- The special PMU handling that was only used by ARM11MPCore.
The following is left behind:
- TIMER_OF_DECLARE(arm_twd_11mp, "arm,arm11mp-twd-timer", ...)
in arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c, this is still in use by Marvell MMP3
arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/mmp3.dtsi
- IRQCHIP_DECLARE(arm11mp_gic, "arm,arm11mp-gic", ...)
in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c, this is still in use by Marvell MMP3
arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/mmp3.dtsi
- A compatible for the arm11mpcore SCU, since this was mistakedly
used for the Cortex-A9 version of RealView EB.
These are unfortunate but will need to be kept around for
compatibility. New Marvell-specific compatibles should however probably
be added.

Use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw instead of

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.
This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:
set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
flush_dcache_folio(folio)
flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)
flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them. The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.
The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.
One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking. This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.
The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86. I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too. Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.
This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.
This patch (of 38):
Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND). It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type. Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.
