arm64: mm: hugetlb: enable HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP for arm64
The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each
HugeTLB page aims to free its vmemmap pages (used as struct page) to save
memory, where is ~14GB/16GB per 1TB HugeTLB pages (2MB/1GB type). In
short, when a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array
representing the range associated with the page will need to be remapped.
When a page is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed after remapping. When a
page is freed, previously discarded vmemmap pages must be allocated before
remapping. More implementations and details can be found here [1].
The infrastructure of freeing vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB
page is already there, we can easily enable HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP for
arm64, the only thing to be fixed is flush_dcache_page() .
flush_dcache_page() need to be adapted to operate on the head page's flags
since the tail vmemmap pages are mapped with read-only after the feature
is enabled (clear operation is not permitted).
There was some discussions about this in the thread [2], but there was no
conclusion in the end. And I copied the concern proposed by Anshuman to
here and explain why those concern is superfluous. It is safe to enable
it for x86_64 as well as arm64.
1st concern:
'''
But what happens when a hot remove section's vmemmap area (which is
being teared down) is nearby another vmemmap area which is either created
or being destroyed for HugeTLB alloc/free purpose. As you mentioned
HugeTLB pages inside the hot remove section might be safe. But what about
other HugeTLB areas whose vmemmap area shares page table entries with
vmemmap entries for a section being hot removed ? Massive HugeTLB alloc
/use/free test cycle using memory just adjacent to a memory hotplug area,
which is always added and removed periodically, should be able to expose
this problem.
'''
Answer: At the time memory is removed, all HugeTLB pages either have been
migrated away or dissolved. So there is no race between memory hot remove
and free_huge_page_vmemmap(). Therefore, HugeTLB pages inside the hot
remove section is safe. Let's talk your question "what about other
HugeTLB areas whose vmemmap area shares page table entries with vmemmap
entries for a section being hot removed ?", the question is not
established. The minimal granularity size of hotplug memory 128MB (on
arm64, 4k base page), any HugeTLB smaller than 128MB is within a section,
then, there is no share PTE page tables between HugeTLB in this section
and ones in other sections and a HugeTLB page could not cross two
sections. In this case, the section cannot be freed. Any HugeTLB bigger
than 128MB (section size) whose vmemmap pages is an integer multiple of
2MB (PMD-mapped). As long as:
1) HugeTLBs are naturally aligned, power-of-two sizes
2) The HugeTLB size >= the section size
3) The HugeTLB size >= the vmemmap leaf mapping size
Then a HugeTLB will not share any leaf page table entries with *anything
else*, but will share intermediate entries. In this case, at the time
memory is removed, all HugeTLB pages either have been migrated away or
dissolved. So there is also no race between memory hot remove and
free_huge_page_vmemmap().
2nd concern:
'''
differently, not sure if ptdump would require any synchronization.
Dumping an wrong value is probably okay but crashing because a page table
entry is being freed after ptdump acquired the pointer is bad. On arm64,
ptdump() is protected against hotremove via [get|put]_online_mems().
'''
Answer: The ptdump should be fine since vmemmap_remap_free() only
exchanges PTEs or splits the PMD entry (which means allocating a PTE page
table). Both operations do not free any page tables (PTE), so ptdump
cannot run into a UAF on any page tables. The worst case is just dumping
an wrong value.

hugetlb: remove use of list iterator variable after loop
In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator to the list

__vma_link_file() resolves the mapping from the file, if there is one.
Pass through the mapping and check the vm_file externally since most
places already have the required information and check of vm_file.
Update free_pgtables(), unmap_vmas(), and zap_page_range() to use the
maple tree.
Use the new free_pgtables() and unmap_vmas() in do_mas_align_munmap(). At
the same time, alter the loop to be more compact.
Now that free_pgtables() and unmap_vmas() take a maple tree as an
argument, rearrange do_mas_align_munmap() to use the new tree to hold the
vmas to remove.
Remove __vma_link_list() and __vma_unlink_list() as they are exclusively
used to update the linked list
Drop linked list update from __insert_vm_struct().
Rework validation of tree as it was depending on the linked list.
mm/mempolicy: use vma iterator & maple state instead of vma linked list
Reworked the way mbind_range() finds the first VMA to reuse the maple
state and limit the number of tree walks needed.
Note, this drops the VM_BUG_ON(!vma) call, which would catch a start
address higher than the last VMA. The code was written in a way that
allowed no VMA updates to occur and still return success. There should be
no functional change to this scenario with the new code.
The linked list is slower than walking the VMAs using the maple tree. We
can't use the VMA iterator here because it doesn't support moving to an
earlier position.
The VMA iterator is faster than the linked llist, and it can be walked
even when VMAs are being removed from the address space, so there's no
need to keep track of 'next'.
Use the Maple Tree iterator instead. This is too complicated for the VMA
iterator to handle, so let's open-code it for now. If this turns out to
be a common pattern, we can migrate it to common code.
Use the VMA iterator instead. This requires a little restructuring of the
surrounding code to hoist the mm to the caller. That turns
cxl_prefault_one() into a trivial function, so call cxl_fault_segment()
directly.
Use the VMA iterator instead. Since VMA can no longer be NULL in the
loop, then deal with out-of-memory outside the loop. This means a
slightly longer run time in the failure case (-ENOMEM) - it will run to
the end of the VMAs before erroring instead of in the middle of the loop.
mm/mmap: change do_brk_munmap() to use do_mas_align_munmap()
do_brk_munmap() has already aligned the address and has a maple tree state
to be used. Use the new do_mas_align_munmap() to avoid unnecessary
alignment and error checks.
Remove __do_munmap() in favour of do_munmap(), do_mas_munmap(), and
do_mas_align_munmap().
do_munmap() is a wrapper to create a maple state for any callers that have
not been converted to the maple tree.
do_mas_munmap() takes a maple state to mumap a range. This is just a
small function which checks for error conditions and aligns the end of the
range.
do_mas_align_munmap() uses the aligned range to mumap a range.
do_mas_align_munmap() starts with the first VMA in the range, then finds
the last VMA in the range. Both start and end are split if necessary.
Then the VMAs are removed from the linked list and the mm mlock count is
updated at the same time. Followed by a single tree operation of
overwriting the area in with a NULL. Finally, the detached list is
unmapped and freed.
By reorganizing the munmap calls as outlined, it is now possible to avoid
extra work of aligning pre-aligned callers which are known to be safe,
avoid extra VMA lookups or tree walks for modifications.
detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped() is no longer used, so drop this code.
vm_brk_flags() can just call the do_mas_munmap() as it checks for
intersecting VMAs directly.
By using the maple tree and the maple tree state, the vmacache is no
longer beneficial and is complicating the VMA code. Remove the vmacache
to reduce the work in keeping it up to date and code complexity.
mm/mmap: use advanced maple tree API for mmap_region()
Changing mmap_region() to use the maple tree state and the advanced maple
tree interface allows for a lot less tree walking.
This change removes the last caller of munmap_vma_range(), so drop this
unused function.
Add vma_expand() to expand a VMA if possible by doing the necessary
hugepage check, uprobe_munmap of files, dcache flush, modifications then
undoing the detaches, etc.
mm/mmap: change do_brk_flags() to expand existing VMA and add do_brk_munmap()
Avoid allocating a new VMA when it a vma modification can occur. When a
brk() can expand or contract a VMA, then the single store operation will
only modify one index of the maple tree instead of causing a node to split
or coalesce. This avoids unnecessary allocations/frees of maple tree
nodes and VMAs.
Move some limit & flag verifications out of the do_brk_flags() function to
use only relevant checks in the code path of bkr() and vm_brk_flags().
Set the vma to check if it can expand in vm_brk_flags() if extra criteria
are met.
Drop userfaultfd from do_brk_flags() path and only use it in
vm_brk_flags() path since that is the only place a munmap will happen.
mm/khugepaged: optimize collapse_pte_mapped_thp() by using vma_lookup()
vma_lookup() will walk the vma tree once and not continue to look for the
next vma. Since the exact vma is checked below, this is a more optimal
way of searching.
Use vma_lookup() to walk the tree to the start value requested. If the
vma at the start does not match, then the answer is NULL and there is no
need to look at the next vma the way that find_vma() would.
vma_lookup() walks the VMA tree for a specific value, find_vma() will
search the tree after walking to a specific value. It is more efficient
to only walk to the requested value since privcmd_ioctl_mmap() will exit
the loop if vm_start != msg->va.
mmap: change zeroing of maple tree in __vma_adjust()
Only write to the maple tree if we are not inserting or the insert isn't
going to overwrite the area to clear. This avoids spanning writes and
node coealescing when unnecessary.
The change requires a custom search for the linked list addition to find
the correct VMA for the prev link.
damon: Convert __damon_va_three_regions to use the VMA iterator
This rather specialised walk can use the VMA iterator. If this proves to
be too slow, we can write a custom routine to find the two largest gaps,
but it will be somewhat complicated, so let's see if we need it first.
Update the kunit test case to use the maple tree. This also fixes an
issue with the kunit testcase not adding the last VMA to the list.

kernel/fork: use maple tree for dup_mmap() during forking
The maple tree was already tracking VMAs in this function by an earlier
commit, but the rbtree iterator was being used to iterate the list.
Change the iterator to use a maple tree native iterator and switch to the
maple tree advanced API to avoid multiple walks of the tree during insert
operations. Unexport the now-unused vma_store() function.
For performance reasons we bulk allocate the maple tree nodes. The node
calculations are done internally to the tree and use the VMA count and
assume the worst-case node requirements. The VM_DONT_COPY flag does not
allow for the most efficient copy method of the tree and so a bulk loading
algorithm is used.
mm/mmap: use maple tree for unmapped_area{_topdown}
The maple tree code was added to find the unmapped area in a previous
commit and was checked against what the rbtree returned, but the actual
result was never used. Start using the maple tree implementation and
remove the rbtree code.
Add kernel documentation comment for these functions.
mm/mmap: use the maple tree for find_vma_prev() instead of the rbtree
Use the maple tree's advanced API and a maple state to walk the tree for
the entry at the address of the next vma, then use the maple state to walk
back one entry to find the previous entry.
This thin layer of abstraction over the maple tree state is for iterating
over VMAs. You can go forwards, go backwards or ask where the iterator
is. Rename the existing vma_next() to __vma_next() -- it will be removed
by the end of this series.
Start tracking the VMAs with the new maple tree structure in parallel with
the rb_tree. Add debug and trace events for maple tree operations and
duplicate the rb_tree that is created on forks into the maple tree.
The maple tree is added to the mm_struct including the mm_init struct,
added support in required mm/mmap functions, added tracking in kernel/fork
for process forking, and used to find the unmapped_area and checked
against what the rbtree finds.
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. The first user that is covered in this patch
set is the vm_area_struct, where three data structures are replaced by the
maple tree: the augmented rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of
VMAs in the mm_struct. The long term goal is to reduce or remove the
mmap_sem contention.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- causes __GFP_HIGH to set ALLOC_HARDER unless __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is set
(as well as ALLOC_HIGH).
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

To get a round-robin order in the same distance group, we don't need to

mm: avoid unnecessary flush on change_huge_pmd()
Calls to change_protection_range() on THP can trigger, at least on x86,
two TLB flushes for one page: one immediately, when pmdp_invalidate() is
called by change_huge_pmd(), and then another one later (that can be
batched) when change_protection_range() finishes.
The first TLB flush is only necessary to prevent the dirty bit (and with a
lesser importance the access bit) from changing while the PTE is modified.
However, this is not necessary as the x86 CPUs set the dirty-bit
atomically with an additional check that the PTE is (still) present. One
caveat is Intel's Knights Landing that has a bug and does not do so.
Leverage this behavior to eliminate the unnecessary TLB flush in
change_huge_pmd(). Introduce a new arch specific pmdp_invalidate_ad()
that only invalidates the access and dirty bit from further changes.

needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86
pte_needs_flush().
Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping
a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the
flush.
Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine
the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the
architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not
be careful and use the latter.

mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather
Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6.
This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during
mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and
further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible.
Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set:
1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do
better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd
enhancements.
2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that
provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions,
we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious
page-faults.
3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to
prevent the A/D bits from changing.
Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy
determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I
therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on
anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by
avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes:
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ)
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
*p = 0; // make the page writable
The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was
busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation:
The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There
are 2 interesting results though.
(1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected.
This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved
(2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even
greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush.
As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500
cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as
high as presented in the table.
This patch (of 3):
change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead
implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the
code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes,
and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer
granularity.
The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios
even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs
to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be
flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction
can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would
Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs
requires a single flush.
Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only
record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range().
Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes
redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.

Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v4.
protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given
vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is
populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111]
exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for
vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a
given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call
platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some
platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with
__SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values.
Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX
macros, protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()
built between the platform and generic MM, finally defining
vm_get_page_prot().
Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and
instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the
platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it
clean and simple.
This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the
platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting
platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or
arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped
off completely.
The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig
Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables
a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing
the generic protection_map[] array.

protection_map[] maps vm_flags access combinations into page protection
value as defined by the platform via __PXXX and __SXXX macros. The array
indices in protection_map[], represents vm_flags access combinations but
it's not very intuitive to derive. This makes it clear and explicit.
