Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.
- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.
- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
docs.
- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.

Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.
- The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.
- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.
- The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
we accidentally added late last year.
- The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
is updated accordingly.
- The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
it claims.
- The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.

The page_ext_next() function assumes that page extension objects for a
page order allocation always reside in the same memory section, which may
not be true and could lead to crashes. Use the new page_ext iteration API
instead.

Let's free up some more of the "unconditionally available on 64BIT" space
in order-1 folios by letting _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in the
first tail page (second folio page). Consequently, we have the
optimization now whenever we have CONFIG_MEMCG, independent of 64BIT.
We have to make sure that page->memcg on tail pages does not return
"surprises". page_memcg_check() already properly refuses PageTail().
Let's do that earlier in print_page_owner_memcg() to avoid printing wrong
"Slab cache page" information. No other code should touch that field on
tail pages of compound pages.
Reset the "_nr_pages" to 0 when splitting folios, or when freeing them
back to the buddy (to avoid false page->memcg_data "bad page" reports).
Note that in __split_huge_page(), folio_nr_pages() would stop working
already as soon as we start messing with the subpages.
Most kernel configs should have at least CONFIG_MEMCG enabled, even if
disabled at runtime. 64byte "struct memmap" is what we usually have on
64BIT.
While at it, rename "_folio_nr_pages" to "_nr_pages".
Hopefully memdescs / dynamically allocating "strut folio" in the future
will further clean this up, e.g., making _nr_pages available in all
configs and maybe even in small folios. Doing that should be fairly easy
on top of this change.

Introduce free_pages_nolock() that can free pages without taking locks.
It relies on trylock and can be called from any context.
Since spin_trylock() cannot be used in PREEMPT_RT from hard IRQ or NMI
it uses lockless link list to stash the pages which will be freed
by subsequent free_pages() from good context.
Do not use llist unconditionally. BPF maps continuously
allocate/free, so we cannot unconditionally delay the freeing to
llist. When the memory becomes free make it available to the
kernel and BPF users right away if possible, and fallback to
llist as the last resort.

The page-owner tracking code records stack traces during page allocation.
To do this, it must do a memory allocation for the stack information from
inside an existing memory allocation context. This internal allocation
must obey the high level caller allocation constraints to avoid generating
false positive warnings that have nothing to do with the code they are
instrumenting/tracking (e.g. through lockdep reclaim state tracking)
We also don't want recording stack traces to deplete emergency memory
reserves - debug code is useless if it creates new issues that can't be
replicated when the debug code is disabled.
Switch the stack tracking allocation masking to use gfp_nested_mask() to
address these issues. gfp_nested_mask() naturally strips GFP_ZONEMASK,
too, which greatly simplifies this code.

Currently slab pages can store only vectors of obj_cgroup pointers in
page->memcg_data. Introduce slabobj_ext structure to allow more data to
be stored for each slab object. Wrap obj_cgroup into slabobj_ext to
support current functionality while allowing to extend slabobj_ext in the
future.

Kefeng Wang reported that he was seeing some memory leaks with kmemleak
with page_owner enabled.
The reason is that we enable the page_owner_inited static branch and then
proceed with the linking of stack_list struct to dummy_stack, which means
that exists a race window between these two steps where we can have pages
already being allocated calling add_stack_record_to_list(), allocating
objects and linking them to stack_list, but then we set stack_list
pointing to dummy_stack in init_page_owner. Which means that the objects
that have been allocated during that time window are unreferenced and
lost.
Fix this by deferring the enablement of the branch until we have properly
set up the list.

When seq_* code sees that its buffer overflowed, it re-allocates a bigger
onecand calls seq_operations->start() callback again. stack_start()
naively though that if it got called again, it meant that the old record
got already printed so it returned the next object, but that is not true.
The consequence of that is that every time stack_stop() -> stack_start()
get called because we needed a bigger buffer, stack_start() will skip
entries, and those will not be printed.
Fix it by not advancing to the next object in stack_start().

Upon migration, new allocated pages are being given the handle of the old
pages. This is problematic because it means that for the stack which
allocated the old page, we will be substracting the old page + the new one
when that page is freed, creating an accounting imbalance.
There is an interest in keeping it that way, as otherwise the output will
biased towards migration stacks should those operations occur often, but
that is not really helpful.
The link from the new page to the old stack is being performed by calling
__update_page_owner_handle() in __folio_copy_owner(). The only thing that
is left is to link the migrate stack to the old page, so the old page will
be subtracted from the migrate stack, avoiding by doing so any possible
imbalance.

Current code does not contemplate scenarios were an allocation and free
operation on the same pages do not handle it in the same amount at once.
To give an example, page_alloc_exact(), where we will allocate a page of
enough order to stafisfy the size request, but we will free the remainings
right away.
In the above example, we will increment the stack_record refcount only
once, but we will decrease it the same number of times as number of unused
pages we have to free. This will lead to a warning because of refcount
imbalance.
Fix this by recording the number of base pages in the refcount field.

Patch series "page_owner: Fix refcount imbalance and print fixup", v4.
This series consists of a refactoring/correctness of updating the metadata
of tail pages, a couple of fixups for the refcounting part and a fixup for
the stack_start() function.
From this series on, instead of counting the stacks, we count the
outstanding nr_base_pages each stack has, which gives us a much better
memory overview. The other fixup is for the migration part.
A more detailed explanation can be found in the changelog of the
respective patches.
This patch (of 4):
__set_page_owner_handle() and __reset_page_owner() update the metadata of
all pages when the page is of a higher-order, but we miss to do the same
when the pages are migrated. __folio_copy_owner() only updates the
metadata of the head page, meaning that the information stored in the
first page and the tail pages will not match.
Strictly speaking that is not a big problem because 1) we do not print
tail pages and 2) upon splitting all tail pages will inherit the metadata
of the head page, but it is better to have all metadata in check should
there be any problem, so it can ease debugging.
For that purpose, a couple of helpers are created
__update_page_owner_handle() which updates the metadata on allocation, and
__update_page_owner_free_handle() which does the same when the page is
freed.
__folio_copy_owner() will make use of both as it needs to entirely replace
the page_owner metadata for the new page.

Prior to 217b2119b9e2 ("mm,page_owner: implement the tracking of the
stacks count") the only place where page_owner could potentially go into
recursion due to its need of allocating more memory was in save_stack(),
which ends up calling into stackdepot code with the possibility of
allocating memory.
We made sure to guard against that by signaling that the current task was
already in page_owner code, so in case a recursion attempt was made, we
could catch that and return dummy_handle.
After above commit, a new place in page_owner code was introduced where we
could allocate memory, meaning we could go into recursion would we take
that path.
Make sure to signal that we are in page_owner in that codepath as well.
Move the guard code into two helpers {un}set_current_in_page_owner() and
use them prior to calling in the two functions that might allocate memory.

Patch series "page_owner: Fixup and cleanup".
This patchset consists of a fixup by an error that was reported by intel
robot, where it seems to be that by the time page_owner gets initialized,
stackdepot has already depleted its allocation space and returns
0-handles, turning that into null stack_records when trying to retrieve
the stack_record. I was not able to reproduce that from the config
because it booted fine for me, but when setting e.g: dummy_handle to 0
artificially, I could see the same error that was reported.
The second patch is a cleanup that can also lead to a compilation warning.
This patch (of 2):
Although the retrieval of the stack_records for {dummy,failure}_handle
happen when page_owner gets initialized, there seems to be some situations
where stackdepot space has been already depleted by then, so we get
0-handles which make stack_records being NULL for those cases.
Be careful to 1) only bump stack_records refcount and 2) only access
stack_record fields if we actually have a non-null stack_record between
hands.

Implement {inc,dec}_stack_record_count() which increments or decrements on
respective allocation and free operations, via __reset_page_owner() (free
operation) and __set_page_owner() (alloc operation).
Newly allocated stack_record structs will be added to the list stack_list
via add_stack_record_to_list(). Modifications on the list are protected
via a spinlock with irqs disabled, since this code can also be reached
from IRQ context.

page_owner needs to increment a stack_record refcount when a new
allocation occurs, and decrement it on a free operation. In order to do
that, we need to have a way to get a stack_record from a handle.
Implement __stack_depot_get_stack_record() which just does that, and make
it public so page_owner can use it.
Also, traversing all stackdepot buckets comes with its own complexity,
plus we would have to implement a way to mark only those stack_records
that were originated from page_owner, as those are the ones we are
interested in. For that reason, page_owner maintains its own list of
stack_records, because traversing that list is faster than traversing all
buckets while keeping at the same time a low complexity.
For now, add to stack_list only the stack_records of dummy_handle and
failure_handle, and set their refcount of 1.
Further patches will add code to increment or decrement stack_records
count on allocation and free operation.

While investigating some complex memory allocation and free bugs
especially in multi-processes and multi-threads cases, from time to time,
I feel the free stack isn't sufficient as a page can be freed by processes
or threads other than the one allocating it. And other processes and
threads which free the page often have the exactly same free stack with
the one allocating the page. We can't know who free the page only through
the free stack though the current page_owner does tell us the pid and tgid
of the one allocating the page. This makes the bug investigation often
hard.
So this patch adds free pid and tgid in page_owner, so that we can easily
figure out if the freeing is crossing processes or threads.

Patch series "Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps".
While page ower output is used to investigate memory utilization,
typically the allocation pathway, the introduction of timestamps to the
page owner records caused each record to become unique due to the
granularity of the nanosecond timestamp (for example):
Page allocated via order 0 ... ts 5206196026 ns, free_ts 5187156703 ns
Page allocated via order 0 ... ts 5206198540 ns, free_ts 5187162702 ns
Furthermore, the page_owner output only dumps the currently allocated
records, so having the free timestamps is nonsensical for the typical use
case.
In addition, the introduction of timestamps was not properly handled in
the page_owner_sort tool causing most use cases to be broken. This series
is meant to remove the free timestamps from the page_owner output and fix
the page_owner_sort tool so proper collation can occur.
This patch (of 5):
When printing page_owner data via the sysfs interface, no free pages will
ever be dumped due to the series of checks in read_page_owner():
/*
* Although we do have the info about past allocation of free
* pages, it's not relevant for current memory usage.
*/
if (!test_bit(PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ALLOCATED, &page_ext->flags))
The free_ts values are still used when dump_page_owner() is called, so
keeping the field for other use cases but removing them for the typical
page_owner case.
