resource: remove dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGION

We want to use the functions (get_free_mem_region()) configured via
GET_FREE_REGION in resource kunit tests. However, GET_FREE_REGION
depends on SPARSEMEM now. This makes resource kunit tests cannot be
built on some architectures lacking SPARSEMEM, or causes config warning
as follows,

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GET_FREE_REGION
Depends on [n]: SPARSEMEM [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST [=y] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && KUNIT [=y]

When get_free_mem_region() was introduced the only consumers were those
looking to pass the address range to memremap_pages(). That address
range needed to be mindful of the maximum addressable platform physical
address which at the time only SPARSMEM defined via MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

Given that memremap_pages() also depended on SPARSEMEM via ZONE_DEVICE,
it was easier to just depend on that definition than invent a general
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS concept outside of SPARSEMEM.

Turns out that decision was buggy and did not account for KASAN
consumption of physical address space. That problem was resolved
recently with commit ea72ce5da228 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end
of the physical memory address space"), and GET_FREE_REGION dropped its
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dependency.

Then commit 99185c10d5d9 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()"), went ahead and fixed up the only remaining
dependency on SPARSEMEM which was usage of the PA_SECTION_SHIFT macro
for setting the default alignment. A PAGE_SIZE fallback is fine in the
SPARSEMEM=n case.

With those build dependencies gone GET_FREE_REGION no longer depends on
SPARSEMEM. So, the patch removes dependency on SPARSEMEM from
GET_FREE_REGION to fix the build issues.

mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP

mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP

SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4". Unfortunately, that
evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option. This
results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig. This in turn
causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging
options are enabled.

Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does
not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry
always evaluates to false. Example:

config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS
def_bool y
depends on !NR_CPUS

After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes:
$ grep NR_CPUS .config
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y

Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures
define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations.

Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:

- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.

- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.

- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.

- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0

which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".

- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

- "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.

unneeded.

- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

- "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
even from a userspace-only harness.

- "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
performance.

- "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

- "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
resulting in the removal of follow_page().

- "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
yet.

- "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
tree library code.

- "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

- "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
deprecated.

- "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
allocation.

improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

- "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

- "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

- "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

mm: z3fold: deprecate CONFIG_Z3FOLD

The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc. The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the
dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the
default zswap allocator for a long time.

Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered
better memory savings. This is no longer the case as shown by a simple
recent analysis [1]. That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any
advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory
usage. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took
3% more time and used 1.8% more memory. The latency of zswap_load() was
7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher. Zsmalloc is better
in all metrics.

Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by
a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2]. Switching to zsmalloc
not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to
1~2G. Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling
z3fold.

Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering
effort. Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple
development discussions (e.g. [3]) as something we need to handle, when
there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally).

The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few
cycles if no objections are raised from active users. Next on the list
should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge
memory waste when compared to zsmalloc. That one will need to wait until
zsmalloc does not depend on MMU.

Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to
CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new
prompt with explanation during make oldconfig. Also, remove
CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

mm: introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP and special bits to pmd/pud

Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.

Overview
========

This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general. Huge
pfnmap allows e.g. VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits. Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.

Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported. The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.

Implementation
==============

In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).

One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user. This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it. Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.

The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping. This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.

Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes. A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now. Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly.
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g. pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.

Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:

- ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP

Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
supported in arch's Kconfig. After this patchset applied, both x86_64
and arm64 will start to enable it by default.

- ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP

These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them. One can refer to the last
vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
driver.

So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:

vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100

In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.

Patch Layout
============

Patch 1: Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2: A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8: Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16: Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17: Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18: Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19: Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)

TODO
====

More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------

Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported. There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].

Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.

remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------

Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs. With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.

When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.

More driver support
-------------------

VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied. Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes. This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar. But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.

Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):

This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds. Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option. Per-arch support will be added
later.

Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.

mm: Kconfig: fixup zsmalloc configuration

zsmalloc is not exclusive to zswap. Commit b3fbd58fcbb1 ("mm: Kconfig:
simplify zswap configuration") made CONFIG_ZSMALLOC only visible when
CONFIG_ZSWAP is selected, which makes it impossible to menuconfig
zsmalloc-specific features (stats, chain-size, etc.) on systems that use
ZRAM but don't have ZSWAP enabled.

Make zsmalloc depend on both ZRAM and ZSWAP.

# 394290cb 26-Jul-2024 David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

mm: turn USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS / USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS into Kconfig options

"[PA

mm: turn USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS / USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS into Kconfig options

Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications".

This series is a follow up to the fixes:
"[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking"

When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split
PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table
sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks).

Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on
it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident.

As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig
SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the
code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation
purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should
always be disabled (!SMP).

Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks
are still getting used where we would expect them.

[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com


This patch (of 3):

Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on
CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options.

More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for
CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.
