mm: rust: make CONFIG_MMU ifdefs more narrow

Currently the entire kernel::mm module is ifdef'd out when CONFIG_MMU=n.
However, there are some downstream users of the module in
rust/kernel/task.rs and rust/kernel/miscdevice.rs. Thus, update the cfgs
so that only MmWithUserAsync is removed with CONFIG_MMU=n.

The code is moved into a new file, since the #[cfg()] annotation
otherwise has to be duplicated several times.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.

- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.

- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.

- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.

- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.

- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.

This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.

- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.

- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.

- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.

- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.

This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.

- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.

- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.

- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.

Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.

- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.

stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.

- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.

- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.

- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.

This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.

- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.

- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.

- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.

- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.

- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.

- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.

- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.

- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

mm: rust: add mmput_async support

Adds an MmWithUserAsync type that uses mmput_async when dropped but is
otherwise identical to MmWithUser. This has to be done using a separate
type because the thing we are changing is the destructor.

Rust Binder needs this to avoid a certain deadlock. See commit
9a9ab0d96362 ("binder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()") for
details. It's also needed in the shrinker to avoid cleaning up the mm in
the shrinker's context.

mm: rust: add lock_vma_under_rcu

Currently, the binder driver always uses the mmap lock to make changes to
its vma. Because the mmap lock is global to the process, this can involve
significant contention. However, the kernel has a feature called per-vma
locks, which can significantly reduce contention. For example, you can
take a vma lock in parallel with an mmap write lock. This is important
because contention on the mmap lock has been a long-term recurring
challenge for the Binder driver.

This patch introduces support for using `lock_vma_under_rcu` from Rust.
The Rust Binder driver will be able to use this to reduce contention on
the mmap lock.

mm: rust: add vm_area_struct methods that require read access

This adds a type called VmaRef which is used when referencing a vma that
you have read access to. Here, read access means that you hold either the
mmap read lock or the vma read lock (or stronger).

Additionally, a vma_lookup method is added to the mmap read guard, which
enables you to obtain a &VmaRef in safe Rust code.

This patch only provides a way to lock the mmap read lock, but a follow-up
patch also provides a way to just lock the vma read lock.

mm: rust: add abstraction for struct mm_struct

Patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap", v16.

This updates the vm_area_struct support to use the approach we discussed
at LPC where there are several different Rust wrappers for vm_area_struct
depending on the kind of access you have to the vma. Each case allows a
different set of operations on the vma.

This includes an MM MAINTAINERS entry as proposed by Lorenzo:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/33e64b12-aa07-4e78-933a-b07c37ff1d84@lucifer.local/


This patch (of 9):

These abstractions allow you to reference a `struct mm_struct` using both
mmgrab and mmget refcounts. This is done using two Rust types:

* Mm - represents an mm_struct where you don't know anything about the
value of mm_users.
* MmWithUser - represents an mm_struct where you know at compile time
that mm_users is non-zero.

This allows us to encode in the type system whether a method requires that
mm_users is non-zero or not. For instance, you can always call
`mmget_not_zero` but you can only call `mmap_read_lock` when mm_users is
non-zero.

The struct is called Mm to keep consistency with the C side.

The ability to obtain `current->mm` is added later in this series.

The mm module is defined to only exist when CONFIG_MMU is set. This
avoids various errors due to missing types and functions when CONFIG_MMU
is disabled. More fine-grained cfgs can be considered in the future. See
the thread at [1] for more info.
