mm/damon/core: implement intervals auto-tuning
Implement the DAMON sampling and aggregation intervals auto-tuning mechanism as briefly described on 'struct damon_intervals_goal'. The core part for deciding the direction and amount of the changes is implemented reusing the feedback loop function which is being used for DAMOS quotas auto-tuning. Unlike the DAMOS quotas auto-tuning use case, limit the maximum decreasing amount after the adjustment to 50% of the current value, though. This is because the intervals have no good merits at rapid reductions since it could unnecessarily increase the monitoring overhead.

mm/damon: add data structure for monitoring intervals auto-tuning
Patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval".
DAMON requires time-consuming and repetitive aggregation interval tuning.
Introduce a feature for automating it using a feedback loop that aims an
amount of observed access events, like auto-exposing cameras.
Background: Access Frequency Monitoring and Aggregation Interval
================================================================
DAMON checks if each memory element (damon_region) is accessed or not for
every user-specified time interval called 'sampling interval'. It
aggregates the check intervals on per-element counter called
'nr_accesses'. DAMON users can read the counters to get the access
temperature of a given element. The counters are reset for every another
user-specified time interval called 'aggregation interval'.
This can be illustrated as DAMON continuously capturing a snapshot of
access events that happen and captured within the last aggregation
interval. This implies the aggregation interval plays a key role for the
quality of the snapshots, like the camera exposure time. If it is too
short, the amount of access events that happened and captured for each
snapshot is small, so each snapshot will show no many interesting things
but just a cold and dark world with hopefuly one pale blue dot or two. If
it is too long, too many events are aggregated in a single shot, so each
snapshot will look like world of flames, or Muspellheim. It will be
difficult to find practical insights in both cases.
Problem: Time Consuming and Repetitive Tuning
=============================================
The appropriate length of the aggregation interval depends on how
frequently the system and workloads are making access events that DAMON
can observe. Hence, users have to tune the interval with excessive amount
of tests with the target system and workloads. If the system and
workloads are changed, the tuning should be done again. If the
characteristic of the workloads is dynamic, it becomes more challenging.
It is therefore time-consuming and repetitive.
The tuning challenge mainly stems from the wrong question. It is not
asking users what quality of monitoring results they want, but how DAMON
should operate for their hidden goal. To make the right answer, users
need to fully understand DAMON's mechanisms and the characteristics of
their workloads. Users shouldn't be asked to understand the underlying
mechanism. Understanding the characteristics of the workloads shouldn't
be the role of users but DAMON.
Aim-oriented Feedback-driven Auto-Tuning
=========================================
Fortunately, the appropriate length of the aggregation interval can be
inferred using a feedback loop. If the current snapshots are showing no
much intresting information, in other words, if it shows only rare access
events, increasing the aggregation interval helps, and vice versa. We
tested this theory on a few real-world workloads, and documented one of
the experience with an official DAMON monitoring intervals tuning
guideline. Since it is a simple theory that requires repeatable tries, it
can be a good job for machines.
Based on the guideline's theory, we design an automation of aggregation
interval tuning, in a way similar to that of camera auto-exposure feature.
It defines the amount of interesting information as the ratio of
DAMON-observed access events that DAMON actually observed to theoretical
maximum amount of it within each snapshot. Events are accounted in byte
and sampling attempts granularity. For example, let's say there is a
region of 'X' bytes size. DAMON tried access check smapling for the
region 'Y' times in total for a given aggregation. Among the 'Y'
attempts, 'Z' times it shown positive results. Then, the theoritical
maximum number of access events for the region is 'X * Y'. And the number
of access events that DAMON has observed for the region is 'X * Z'. The
abount of the interesting information is '(X * Z / X * Y)'. Note that
each snapshot would have multiple regions.
Users can set an arbitrary value of the ratio as their target. Once the
target is set, the automation periodically measures the current value of
the ratio and increase or decrease the aggregation interval if the ratio
value is lower or higher than the target. The amount of the change is
proportion to the distance between the current adn the target values.
To avoid auto-tuning goes too long way, let users set the minimum and the
maximum aggregation interval times. Changing only aggregation interval
while sampling interval is kept makes the maximum level of access
frequency in each snapshot, or discernment of regions inconsistent. Also,
unnecessarily short sampling interval causes meaningless monitoring
overhed. The automation therefore adjusts the sampling interval together
with aggregation interval, while keeping the ratio between the two
intervals. Users can set the ratio, or the discernment.
Discussion
==========
The modified question (aimed amount of access events, or lights, in each
snapshot) is easy to answer by both the users and the kernel. If users
are interested in finding more cold regions, the value should be lower,
and vice versa. If users have no idea, kernel can suggest a fair default
value based on some theories and experiments. For example, based on the
Pareto principle (80/20 rule), we could expect 20% target ratio will
capture 80% of real access events. Since 80% might be too high, applying
the rule once again, 4% (20% * 20%) may capture about 56% (80% * 80%) of
real access events.
Sampling to aggregation intervals ratio and min/max aggregation intervals
are also arguably easy to answer. What users want is discernment of
regions for efficient system operation, for examples, X amount of colder
regions or Y amount of warmer regions, not exactly how many times each
cache line is accessed in nanoseconds degree. The appropriate min/max
aggregation interval can relatively naively set, and may better to set for
aimed monitoring overhead. Since sampling interval is directly deciding
the overhead, setting it based on the sampling interval can be easy. With
my experiences, I'd argue the intervals ratio 0.05, and 5 milliseconds to
20 seconds sampling interval range (100 milliseconds to 400 seconds
aggregation interval) can be a good default suggestion.
Evaluation
==========
On a machine running a real world server workload, I ran DAMON to monitor
its physical address space for about 23 hours, with this feature turned
on. We set it to tune sampling interval in a range from 5 milliseconds to
10 seconds, aiming 4 % DAMON-observed access ratio per three aggregation
intervals. The exact command I used is as below.
damo start --monitoring_intervals_goal 4% 3 5ms 10s --damos_action stat
During the test run, DAMON continuously updated sampling and aggregation
intervals as designed, within the given range. For all the time, DAMON
was able to find the intervals that meets the target access events ratio
in the given intervals range (sampling interval between 5 milliseconds and
10 seconds).
For most of the time, tuned sampling interval was converged in 300-400
milliseconds. It made only small amount of changes within the range. The
average of the tuned sampling interval during the test was about 380
milliseconds.
The workload periodically gets less load and decreases its CPU usage.
Presumably this also caused it making less memory access events.
Reactively to such event,s DAMON also increased the intervals as expected.
It was still able to find the optimum interval that satisfying the target
access ratio within the given intervals range. Usually it was converged
to about 5 seconds. Once the workload gets normal amount of load again,
DAMON reactively reduced the intervals to the normal range.
I collected and visualized DAMON's monitoring results on the server a few
times. Every time the visualized access pattern looked not biased to only
cold or hot pages but diverse and balanced. Let me show some of the
snapshots that I collected at the nearly end of the test (after about 23
hours have passed since starting DAMON on the server).
The recency histogram looks as below. Please note that this visualization
shows only a very coarse grained information. For more details about the
visualization format, please refer to DAMON user-space tool
documentation[1].

memory bw estimate: 9.425 GiB per second
total size: 62.000 GiB
It shows about 38 GiB of memory was accessed at least once within last
aggregation interval (given ~300 milliseconds tuned sampling interval,
this is about six seconds). This is about 61 % of the total memory. In
other words, DAMON found warmest 61 % memory of the system. The number is
particularly interesting given our Pareto principle based theory for the
tuning goal value. We set it as 20 % of 20 % (4 %), thinking it would
capture 80 % of 80 % (64 %) real access events. And it foudn 61 % hot
memory, or working set. Nevertheless, to make the theory clearer, much
more discussion and tests would be needed. At the moment, nonetheless, we
can say making the target value higher helps finding more hot memory
regions.
The histogram also shows an amount of cold memory. About 17 GiB memory of
the system has not accessed at least for last aggregation interval (about
six seconds), and at most for about last two hours. The real longest
unaccessed time of the 17 GiB memory was about 19 minutes, though. This
is a limitation of this visualization format.
It further found very cold 6 GiB memory. It has not accessed at least for
last 17 hours and at most 19 hours.
What about hot memory distribution? To see this, I capture and visualize
the snapshot in access temperature histogram. Again, please refer to the
DAMON user-space tool documentation[1] for the format and what access
temperature mean. Both the visualization and metric shows only very
coarse grained and limited information. The resulting histogram look like
below.

We can see most of the memory is in similar access temperature range, and
definitely some pages are extremely hot.
To see the picture in more detail, let's capture and visualize the
snapshot per DAMON-region, sorted by their access temperature. The total
number of the regions was about 300. Due to the limited space, I'm
showing only a few parts of the output here.

We can see DAMON found small and extremely hot regions that accessed for
all access check sampling (once per about 300 milliseconds) for more than
10 hours. The access temperature rapidly decreases. DAMON was also able
to find small and big regions that not accessed for up to about 19
minutes. It even found an outlier cold region of 6 GiB that not accessed
for about 19 hours. It is unclear what the outlier region is, as of this
writing.
For the testing, DAMON was consuming about 0.1% of single CPU time. This
is again expected results, since DAMON was using about 370 milliseconds
sampling interval in most case.
# ps -p $kdamond_pid -o %cpu
%CPU
0.1
I also ran similar tests against kernel build workload and an in-memory
cache workload benchmark[2]. Detialed results including tuned intervals
and captured access pattern were of course different sicne those depend on
the workloads. But the auto-tuning feature was always working as expected
like the above results for the real world workload.
To wrap up, with intervals auto-tuning feature, DAMON was able to capture
access pattern snapshots of a quality on a real world server workload.
The auto-tuning feature was able to adaptively react to the dynamic access
patterns of the workload and reliably provide consistent monitoring
results without manual human interventions. Also, the auto-tuning made
DAMON consumes only necessary amount of resource for the required quality.

This patch (of 8):
Add data structures for DAMON sampling and aggregation intervals automatic
tuning that aims specific amount of DAMON-observed access events per
snapshot. In more detail, define the data structure for the tuning goal,
link it to the monitoring attributes data structure so that DAMON kernel
API callers can make the request, and update parameters setup DAMON
function to respect the new parameter.

mm/mmu_notifier: use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR in remove_device_exclusive_entry()
Let's limit the use of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE to the case where we convert a present PTE to device-exclusive. For the other case, we can simply use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, because it really is clearing the device-exclusive entry first, to then install the present entry. Update the documentation of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE, to document the single use case more thoroughly. If ever required, we could add a separate MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR_EXCLUSIVE; for now using MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR seems to be sufficient.

mm, swap: use percpu cluster as allocation fast path
Current allocation workflow first traverses the plist with a global lock held, after choosing a device, it uses the percpu cluster on that swap device. This commit moves the percpu cluster variable out of being tied to individual swap devices, making it a global percpu variable, and will be used directly for allocation as a fast path. The global percpu cluster variable will never point to a HDD device, and allocations on a HDD device are still globally serialized. This improves the allocator performance and prepares for removal of the slot cache in later commits. There shouldn't be much observable behavior change, except one thing: this changes how swap device allocation rotation works. Currently, each allocation will rotate the plist, and because of the existence of slot cache (one order 0 allocation usually returns 64 entries), swap devices of the same priority are rotated for every 64 order 0 entries consumed. High order allocations are different, they will bypass the slot cache, and so swap device is rotated for every 16K, 32K, or up to 2M allocation. The rotation rule was never clearly defined or documented, it was changed several times without mentioning. After this commit, and once slot cache is gone in later commits, swap device rotation will happen for every consumed cluster. Ideally non-HDD devices will be rotated if 2M space has been consumed for each order. Fragmented clusters will rotate the device faster, which seems OK. HDD devices is rotated for every allocation regardless of the allocation order, which should be OK too and trivial. This commit also slightly changes allocation behaviour for slot cache. The new added cluster allocation fast path may allocate entries from different device to the slot cache, this is not observable from user space, only impact performance very slightly, and slot cache will be just gone in next commit, so this can be ignored.

zsmalloc: introduce new object mapping API
Current object mapping API is a little cumbersome. First, it's
inconsistent, sometimes it returns with page-faults disabled and sometimes
with page-faults enabled. Second, and most importantly, it enforces
atomicity restrictions on its users. zs_map_object() has to return a
liner object address which is not always possible because some objects
span multiple physical (non-contiguous) pages. For such objects zsmalloc
uses a per-CPU buffer to which object's data is copied before a pointer to
that per-CPU buffer is returned back to the caller. This leads to
another, final, issue - extra memcpy(). Since the caller gets a pointer
to per-CPU buffer it can memcpy() data only to that buffer, and during
zs_unmap_object() zsmalloc will memcpy() from that per-CPU buffer to
physical pages that object in question spans across.
New API splits functions by access mode:
- zs_obj_read_begin(handle, local_copy)
Returns a pointer to handle memory. For objects that span two
physical pages a local_copy buffer is used to store object's
data before the address is returned to the caller. Otherwise
the object's page is kmap_local mapped directly.
- zs_obj_read_end(handle, buf)
Unmaps the page if it was kmap_local mapped by zs_obj_read_begin().
- zs_obj_write(handle, buf, len)
Copies len-bytes from compression buffer to handle memory
(takes care of objects that span two pages). This does not
need any additional (e.g. per-CPU) buffers and writes the data
directly to zsmalloc pool pages.
In terms of performance, on a synthetic and completely reproducible
test that allocates fixed number of objects of fixed sizes and
iterates over those objects, first mapping in RO then in RW mode:

mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages
Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages". User decides whether their memory will be mapped or unmapped. It implies that the two types of memory can have different characteristics and management requirements. Provide the DAMON-observaibility DAMOS-operation capability for the different types by introducing a new DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages. This patch (of 2): Implement yet another DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages on DAMON kernel API, and add support of it from the physical address space DAMON operations set (paddr). Since it is for only unmapped pages, support from the virtual address spaces DAMON operations set (vaddr) is not required.

mm/hugetlb: enable bootmem allocation from CMA areas
If hugetlb_cma_only is enabled, we know that hugetlb pages can only be allocated from CMA. Now that there is an interface to do early reservations from a CMA area (returning memblock memory), it can be used to allocate hugetlb pages from CMA. This also allows for doing pre-HVO on these pages (if enabled). Make sure to initialize the page structures and associated data correctly. Create a flag to signal that a hugetlb page has been allocated from CMA to make things a little easier. Some configurations of powerpc have a special hugetlb bootmem allocator, so introduce a boolean arch_specific_huge_bootmem_alloc that returns true if such an allocator is present. In that case, CMA bootmem allocations can't be used, so check that function before trying.

mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated pages
For large systems, the overhead of vmemmap pages for hugetlb is
substantial. It's about 1.5% of memory, which is about 45G for a 3T
system. If you want to configure most of that system for hugetlb (e.g.
to use as backing memory for VMs), there is a chance of running out of
memory on boot, even though you know that the 45G will become available
later.
To avoid this scenario, and since it's a waste to first allocate and then
free that 45G during boot, do pre-HVO for hugetlb bootmem allocated pages
('gigantic' pages).
pre-HVO is done by adding functions that are called from
sparse_init_nid_early and sparse_init_nid_late. The first is called
before memmap allocation, so it takes care of allocating memmap HVO-style.
The second verifies that all bootmem pages look good, specifically it
checks that they do not intersect with multiple zones. This can only be
done from sparse_init_nid_late path, when zones have been initialized.
The hugetlb page size must be aligned to the section size, and aligned to
the size of memory described by the number of page structures contained in
one PMD (since pre-HVO is not prepared to split PMDs). This should be
true for most 'gigantic' pages, it is for 1G pages on x86, where both of
these alignment requirements are 128M.
This will only have an effect if hugetlb_bootmem_alloc was called early in
boot. If not, it won't do anything, and HVO for bootmem hugetlb pages
works as before.

mm/hugetlb: add pre-HVO framework
Define flags for pre-HVOed bootmem hugetlb pages, and act on them. The most important flag is the HVO flag, signalling that a bootmem allocated gigantic page has already been HVO-ed. If this flag is seen by the hugetlb bootmem gather code, the page is marked as HVO optimized. The HVO code will then not try to optimize it again. Instead, it will just map the tail page mirror pages read-only, completing the HVO steps. No functional change, as nothing sets the flags yet.

mm/sparse: add vmemmap_*_hvo functions
Add a few functions to enable early HVO: vmemmap_populate_hvo vmemmap_undo_hvo vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo The populate and undo functions are expected to be used in early init, from the sparse_init_nid_early() function. The wrprotect function is to be used, potentially, later. To implement these functions, mostly re-use the existing compound pages vmemmap logic used by DAX. vmemmap_populate_address has its argument changed a bit in this commit: the page structure passed in to be reused in the mapping is replaced by a PFN and a flag. The flag indicates whether an extra ref should be taken on the vmemmap page containing the head page structure. Taking the ref is appropriate to for DAX / ZONE_DEVICE, but not for HugeTLB HVO. The HugeTLB vmemmap optimization maps tail page structure pages read-only. The vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo function that does this is implemented separately, because it cannot be guaranteed that reserved page structures will not be write accessed during memory initialization. Even with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, they might still be written to (if they are at the bottom of a zone). So, vmemmap_populate_hvo leaves the tail page structure pages RW initially, and then later during initialization, after memmap init is fully done, vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo must be called to finish the job. Subsequent commits will use these functions for early HugeTLB HVO.

mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at boot
Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized. They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively. This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Specifically, hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later (and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the process). Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external use. In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g. they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already. The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit. Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to use it. The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, which is selected if an architecture-specific option, ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set. In the future, if other subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion. The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h). Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT. Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do have room.

mm/hugetlb: convert cmdline parameters from setup to early
Convert the cmdline parameters (hugepagesz, hugepages, default_hugepagesz and hugetlb_free_vmemmap) to early parameters. Since parse_early_param might run before MMU setups on some platforms (powerpc), validation of huge page sizes as specified in command line parameters would fail. So instead, for the hstate-related values, just record the them and parse them on demand, from hugetlb_bootmem_alloc. The allocation of hugetlb bootmem pages is now done in hugetlb_bootmem_alloc, which is called explicitly at the start of mm_core_init(). core_initcall would be too late, as that happens with memblock already torn down. This change will allow earlier allocation and initialization of bootmem hugetlb pages later on. No functional change intended.

mm/cma: introduce cma_intersects function
Now that CMA areas can have multiple physical ranges, code can't assume a CMA struct represents a base_pfn plus a size, as returned from cma_get_base. Most cases are ok though, since they all explicitly refer to CMA areas that were created using existing interfaces (cma_declare_contiguous_nid or cma_init_reserved_mem), which guarantees they have just one physical range. An exception is the s390 code, which walks all CMA ranges to see if they intersect with a range of memory that is about to be hotremoved. So, in the future, it might run in to multi-range areas. To keep this check working, define a cma_intersects function. This just checks if a physaddr range intersects any of the ranges. Use it in the s390 check.

mm, cma: support multiple contiguous ranges, if requested
Currently, CMA manages one range of physically contiguous memory. Creation of larger CMA areas with hugetlb_cma may run in to gaps in physical memory, so that they are not able to allocate that contiguous physical range from memblock when creating the CMA area. This can happen, for example, on an AMD system with > 1TB of memory, where there will be a gap just below the 1TB (40bit DMA) line. If you have set aside most of memory for potential hugetlb CMA allocation, cma_declare_contiguous_nid will fail. hugetlb_cma doesn't need the entire area to be one physically contiguous range. It just cares about being able to get physically contiguous chunks of a certain size (e.g. 1G), and it is fine to have the CMA area backed by multiple physical ranges, as long as it gets 1G contiguous allocations. Multi-range support is implemented by introducing an array of ranges, instead of just one big one. Each range has its own bitmap. Effectively, the allocate and release operations work as before, just per-range. So, instead of going through one large bitmap, they now go through a number of smaller ones. The maximum number of supported ranges is 8, as defined in CMA_MAX_RANGES. Since some current users of CMA expect a CMA area to just use one physically contiguous range, only allow for multiple ranges if a new interface, cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi, is used. The other interfaces will work like before, creating only CMA areas with 1 range. cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi works as follows, mimicking the default "bottom-up, above 4G" reservation approach: 0) Try cma_declare_contiguous_nid, which will use only one region. If this succeeds, return. This makes sure that for all the cases that currently work, the behavior remains unchanged even if the caller switches from cma_declare_contiguous_nid to cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi. 1) Select the largest free memblock ranges above 4G, with a maximum number of CMA_MAX_RANGES. 2) If we did not find at most CMA_MAX_RANGES that add up to the total size requested, return -ENOMEM. 3) Sort the selected ranges by base address. 4) Reserve them bottom-up until we get what we wanted.

mm/ioremap: pass pgprot_t to ioremap_prot() instead of unsigned long
ioremap_prot() currently accepts pgprot_val parameter as an unsigned long, thus implicitly assuming that pgprot_val and pgprot_t could never be bigger than unsigned long. But this assumption soon will not be true on arm64 when using D128 pgtables. In 128 bit page table configuration, unsigned long is 64 bit, but pgprot_t is 128 bit. Passing platform abstracted pgprot_t argument is better as compared to size based data types. Let's change the parameter to directly pass pgprot_t like another similar helper generic_ioremap_prot(). Without this change in place, D128 configuration does not work on arm64 as the top 64 bits gets silently stripped when passing the protection value to this function.

mm: make vma cache SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
To enable SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for vma cache we need to ensure that object reuse before RCU grace period is over will be detected by lock_vma_under_rcu(). Current checks are sufficient as long as vma is detached before it is freed. The only place this is not currently happening is in exit_mmap(). Add the missing vma_mark_detached() in exit_mmap(). Another issue which might trick lock_vma_under_rcu() during vma reuse is vm_area_dup(), which copies the entire content of the vma into a new one, overriding new vma's vm_refcnt and temporarily making it appear as attached. This might trick a racing lock_vma_under_rcu() to operate on a reused vma if it found the vma before it got reused. To prevent this situation, we should ensure that vm_refcnt stays at detached state (0) when it is copied and advances to attached state only after it is added into the vma tree. Introduce vm_area_init_from() which preserves new vma's vm_refcnt and use it in vm_area_dup(). Since all vmas are in detached state with no current readers when they are freed, lock_vma_under_rcu() will not be able to take vm_refcnt after vma got detached even if vma is reused. vma_mark_attached() in modified to include a release fence to ensure all stores to the vma happen before vm_refcnt gets initialized. Finally, make vm_area_cachep SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This will facilitate vm_area_struct reuse and will minimize the number of call_rcu() calls.

mm: replace vm_lock and detached flag with a reference count
rw_semaphore is a sizable structure of 40 bytes and consumes considerable space for each vm_area_struct. However vma_lock has two important specifics which can be used to replace rw_semaphore with a simpler structure: 1. Readers never wait. They try to take the vma_lock and fall back to mmap_lock if that fails. 2. Only one writer at a time will ever try to write-lock a vma_lock because writers first take mmap_lock in write mode. Because of these requirements, full rw_semaphore functionality is not needed and we can replace rw_semaphore and the vma->detached flag with a refcount (vm_refcnt). When vma is in detached state, vm_refcnt is 0 and only a call to vma_mark_attached() can take it out of this state. Note that unlike before, now we enforce both vma_mark_attached() and vma_mark_detached() to be done only after vma has been write-locked. vma_mark_attached() changes vm_refcnt to 1 to indicate that it has been attached to the vma tree. When a reader takes read lock, it increments vm_refcnt, unless the top usable bit of vm_refcnt (0x40000000) is set, indicating presence of a writer. When writer takes write lock, it sets the top usable bit to indicate its presence. If there are readers, writer will wait using newly introduced mm->vma_writer_wait. Since all writers take mmap_lock in write mode first, there can be only one writer at a time. The last reader to release the lock will signal the writer to wake up. refcount might overflow if there are many competing readers, in which case read-locking will fail. Readers are expected to handle such failures. In summary: 1. all readers increment the vm_refcnt; 2. writer sets top usable (writer) bit of vm_refcnt; 3. readers cannot increment the vm_refcnt if the writer bit is set; 4. in the presence of readers, writer must wait for the vm_refcnt to drop to 1 (plus the VMA_LOCK_OFFSET writer bit), indicating an attached vma with no readers; 5. vm_refcnt overflow is handled by the readers. While this vm_lock replacement does not yet result in a smaller vm_area_struct (it stays at 256 bytes due to cacheline alignment), it allows for further size optimization by structure member regrouping to bring the size of vm_area_struct below 192 bytes.

refcount: provide ops for cases when object's memory can be reused
For speculative lookups where a successful inc_not_zero() pins the object,
but where we still need to double check if the object acquired is indeed
the one we set out to acquire (identity check), needs this validation to
happen *after* the increment. Similarly, when a new object is initialized
and its memory might have been previously occupied by another object, all
stores to initialize the object should happen *before* refcount
initialization.
Notably SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU is one such an example when this ordering is
required for reference counting.
Add refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() to guarantee the proper ordering
between acquiring a reference count on an object and performing the
identity check for that object.
Add refcount_set_release() to guarantee proper ordering between stores
initializing object attributes and the store initializing the refcount.
refcount_set_release() should be done after all other object attributes
are initialized. Once refcount_set_release() is called, the object should
be considered visible to other tasks even if it was not yet added into an
object collection normally used to discover it. This is because other
tasks might have discovered the object previously occupying the same
memory and after memory reuse they can succeed in taking refcount for the
new object and start using it.
Object reuse example to consider:
consumer:
obj = lookup(collection, key);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref))
return;
if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* identity check */
put_ref(obj);
return;
}
use(obj->value);
producer:
remove(collection, obj->key);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
return;
obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
free(obj);
obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
obj->key = new_key;
obj->value = new_value;
refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
add(collection, new_key, obj);
refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() is required to prevent the following
reordering when refcount_inc_not_zero() is used instead:
consumer:
obj = lookup(collection, key);
if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* reordered identity check */
put_ref(obj);
return;
}
producer:
remove(collection, obj->key);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
return;
obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
free(obj);
obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
obj->key = new_key;
obj->value = new_value;
refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
add(collection, new_key, obj);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&obj->ref))
return;
use(obj->value); /* USING WRONG OBJECT */
refcount_set_release() is required to prevent the following reordering
when refcount_set() is used instead:
consumer:

mm: introduce vma_iter_store_attached() to use with attached vmas
vma_iter_store() functions can be used both when adding a new vma and when updating an existing one. However for existing ones we do not need to mark them attached as they are already marked that way. With vma->detached being a separate flag, double-marking a vmas as attached or detached is not an issue because the flag will simply be overwritten with the same value. However once we fold this flag into the refcount later in this series, re-attaching or re-detaching a vma becomes an issue since these operations will be incrementing/decrementing a refcount. Introduce vma_iter_store_new() and vma_iter_store_overwrite() to replace vma_iter_store() and avoid re-attaching a vma during vma update. Add assertions in vma_mark_attached()/vma_mark_detached() to catch invalid usage. Update vma tests to check for vma detached state correctness.

mm: mark vma as detached until it's added into vma tree
Current implementation does not set detached flag when a VMA is first allocated. This does not represent the real state of the VMA, which is detached until it is added into mm's VMA tree. Fix this by marking new VMAs as detached and resetting detached flag only after VMA is added into a tree. Introduce vma_mark_attached() to make the API more readable and to simplify possible future cleanup when vma->vm_mm might be used to indicate detached vma and vma_mark_attached() will need an additional mm parameter.

mm: move per-vma lock into vm_area_struct
Back when per-vma locks were introduces, vm_lock was moved out of
vm_area_struct in [1] because of the performance regression caused by
false cacheline sharing. Recent investigation [2] revealed that the
regressions is limited to a rather old Broadwell microarchitecture and
even there it can be mitigated by disabling adjacent cacheline
prefetching, see [3].
Splitting single logical structure into multiple ones leads to more
complicated management, extra pointer dereferences and overall less
maintainable code. When that split-away part is a lock, it complicates
things even further. With no performance benefits, there are no reasons
for this split. Merging the vm_lock back into vm_area_struct also allows
vm_area_struct to use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU later in this patchset. Move
vm_lock back into vm_area_struct, aligning it at the cacheline boundary
and changing the cache to be cacheline-aligned as well. With kernel
compiled using defconfig, this causes VMA memory consumption to grow from
160 (vm_area_struct) + 40 (vm_lock) bytes to 256 bytes:
slabinfo before:
<name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
vma_lock ... 40 102 1 : ...
vm_area_struct ... 160 51 2 : ...
slabinfo after moving vm_lock:
<name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
vm_area_struct ... 256 32 2 : ...
Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 50 to 64 pages,
which is 5.5MB per 100000 VMAs. Note that the size of this structure is
dependent on the kernel configuration and typically the original size is
higher than 160 bytes. Therefore these calculations are close to the
worst case scenario. A more realistic vm_area_struct usage before this
change is:
<name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
vma_lock ... 40 102 1 : ...
vm_area_struct ... 176 46 2 : ...
Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 54 to 64 pages,
which is 3.9MB per 100000 VMAs. This memory consumption growth can be
addressed later by optimizing the vm_lock.

fb_defio: do not use deprecated page->mapping, index fields
With the introduction of mapping_wrprotect_range() there is no need to use folio_mkclean() in order to write-protect mappings of frame buffer pages, and therefore no need to inappropriately set kernel-allocated page->index, mapping fields to permit this operation. Instead, store the pointer to the page cache object for the mapped driver in the fb_deferred_io object, and use the already stored page offset from the pageref object to look up mappings in order to write-protect them. This is justified, as for the page objects to store a mapping pointer at the point of assignment of pages, they must all reference the same underlying address_space object. Since the life time of the pagerefs is also the lifetime of the fb_deferred_io object, storing the pointer here makes sense. This eliminates the need for all of the logic around setting and maintaining page->index,mapping which we remove. This eliminates the use of folio_mkclean() entirely but otherwise should have no functional change.

mm: provide mapping_wrprotect_range() function
In the fb_defio video driver, page dirty state is used to determine when frame buffer pages have been changed, allowing for batched, deferred I/O to be performed for efficiency. This implementation had only one means of doing so effectively - the use of the folio_mkclean() function. However, this use of the function is inappropriate, as the fb_defio implementation allocates kernel memory to back the framebuffer, and then is forced to specified page->index, mapping fields in order to permit the folio_mkclean() rmap traversal to proceed correctly. It is not correct to specify these fields on kernel-allocated memory, and moreover since these are not folios, page->index, mapping are deprecated fields, soon to be removed. We therefore need to provide a means by which we can correctly traverse the reverse mapping and write-protect mappings for a page backing an address_space page cache object at a given offset. This patch provides this - mapping_wrprotect_range() - which allows for this operation to be performed for a specified address_space, offset, PFN and size, without requiring a folio nor, of course, an inappropriate use of page->index, mapping. With this provided, we can subsequently adjust the fb_defio implementation to make use of this function and avoid incorrect invocation of folio_mkclean() and more importantly, incorrect manipulation of page->index and mapping fields.

mm/damon: avoid applying DAMOS action to same entity multiple times
'paddr' DAMON operations set can apply a DAMOS scheme's action to a large
folio multiple times in single DAMOS-regions-walk if the folio is laid on
multiple DAMON regions. Add a field for DAMOS scheme object that can be
used by the underlying ops to know what was the last entity that the
scheme's action has applied. The core layer unsets the field when each
DAMOS-regions-walk is done for the given scheme. And update 'paddr' ops
to use the infrastructure to avoid the problem.

alloc_tag: uninline code gated by mem_alloc_profiling_key in page allocator
When a sizable code section is protected by a disabled static key, that
code gets into the instruction cache even though it's not executed and
consumes the cache, increasing cache misses. This can be remedied by
moving such code into a separate uninlined function.
On a Pixel6 phone, page allocation profiling overhead measured with
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y and profiling disabled is:
baseline modified
Big core 4.93% 1.53%
Medium core 4.39% 1.41%
Little core 1.02% 0.36%
This improvement comes at the expense of the configuration when profiling
gets enabled, since there is now an additional function call. The overhead
from this additional call on Pixel6 is:
Big core 0.24%
Middle core 0.63%
Little core 1.1%
However this is negligible when compared with the overall overhead of the
memory allocation profiling when it is enabled.
On x86 this patch does not make noticeable difference because the overhead
with mem_alloc_profiling_key disabled is much lower (under 1%) to start
with, so any improvement is less visible and hard to distinguish from the
noise. The overhead from additional call when profiling is enabled is also
within noise levels.
