Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-05-17-19-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
"The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
Notable series include:

- Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
API".

- In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
one test.

- In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
/proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

- Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
largely similar code sites.

- In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
efficiency.

- In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

- Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
memory almost met memcg limit".

- In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
performance improvement in one test.

- Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
free_area_init_core()".

- Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
"mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

- MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
follow_pfn".

- More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
page->flags cleanups".

- Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

- More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
"khugepaged folio conversions"
"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
"Use folio APIs in procfs"
"Clean up __folio_put()"
"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
"Remove page_mapping()"
"More folio compat code removal"

- David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
hugetlb functions to work on folis".

- Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

- Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

- Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

- Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
"support multi-size THP numa balancing".

- Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

- Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
"selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

- Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

- Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
permission page faults in the series
"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

- GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
it GUP-fast".

- hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
path to use struct vm_fault".

- selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

- Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
memory types works as intended.

- David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
follow_pte() fixes".

- David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

- Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
folio in KSM".

- Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
counters".

- Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

- Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
documentation".

- Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
optimizes the freeing of these things.

- Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

- Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
"Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

- Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

- SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

- Also some maintenance work in the series
"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

- David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
XFAIL".

- memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg:
reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

- DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
"dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""

mm/page_table_check: support userfault wr-protect entries

Allow page_table_check hooks to check over userfaultfd wr-protect criteria
upon pgtable updates. The rule is no co-existance allowed for any
writable flag against userfault wr-protect flag.

This should be better than c2da319c2e, where we used to only sanitize such
issues during a pgtable walk, but when hitting such issue we don't have a
good chance to know where does that writable bit came from [1], so that
even the pgtable walk exposes a kernel bug (which is still helpful on
triaging) but not easy to track and debug.

Now we switch to track the source. It's much easier too with the recent
introduction of page table check.

There are some limitations with using the page table check here for
userfaultfd wr-protect purpose:

- It is only enabled with explicit enablement of page table check configs
and/or boot parameters, but should be good enough to track at least
syzbot issues, as syzbot should enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED] for
x86 [1]. We used to have DEBUG_VM but it's now off for most distros,
while distros also normally not enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED], which
is similar.

- It conditionally works with the ptep_modify_prot API. It will be
bypassed when e.g. XEN PV is enabled, however still work for most of the
rest scenarios, which should be the common cases so should be good
enough.

- Hugetlb check is a bit hairy, as the page table check cannot identify
hugetlb pte or normal pte via trapping at set_pte_at(), because of the
current design where hugetlb maps every layers to pte_t... For example,
the default set_huge_pte_at() can invoke set_pte_at() directly and lose
the hugetlb context, treating it the same as a normal pte_t. So far it's
fine because we have huge_pte_uffd_wp() always equals to pte_uffd_wp() as
long as supported (x86 only). It'll be a bigger problem when we'll
define _PAGE_UFFD_WP differently at various pgtable levels, because then
one huge_pte_uffd_wp() per-arch will stop making sense first.. as of now
we can leave this for later too.

This patch also removes commit c2da319c2e altogether, as we have something
better now.
