<content type='text'>
We get 1 warning when building kernel with W=1:

  drivers/char/mem.c:220:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'phys_mem_access_prot_allowed' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
   int __weak phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(struct file *file,

In fact, its declaration is spreading to several header files in
different architecture, but need to be declare in common header file.

So this patch moves phys_mem_access_prot_allowed() to pgtable.h.

<title>arch: fix has_transparent_hugepage()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fd8cfd3000191cb7f5b9ea8640bd46181f6b4b74</id>
<content type='text'>
I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).

Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

We remove one instace of flush_tlb_range here.  That was added by commit
f714f4f20e59 ("mm: numa: call MMU notifiers on THP migration").  But the
pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify should have done the require flush for us.
Hence remove the extra flush.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix Multi hit ERAT cause by recent THP update</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c777e2a8b65420b31dac28a453e35be984f5808b</id>
<content type='text'>
With ppc64 we use the deposited pgtable_t to store the hash pte slot
information. We should not withdraw the deposited pgtable_t without
marking the pmd none. This ensure that low level hash fault handling
will skip this huge pte and we will handle them at upper levels.

Recent change to pmd splitting changed the above in order to handle the
race between pmd split and exit_mmap. The race is explained below.

Consider following race:

		CPU0				CPU1
shrink_page_list()
  add_to_swap()
    split_huge_page_to_list()
      __split_huge_pmd_locked()
        pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify()
	// pmd_none() == true
					exit_mmap()
					  unmap_vmas()
					    zap_pmd_range()
					      // no action on pmd since pmd_none() == true
	pmd_populate()

As result the THP will not be freed. The leak is detected by check_mm():

	BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880058d2e580 idx:1 val:512

The above required us to not mark pmd none during a pmd split.

The fix for ppc is to clear the huge pte of _PAGE_USER, so that low
level fault handling code skip this pte. At higher level we do take ptl
lock. That should serialze us against the pmd split. Once the lock is
acquired we do check the pmd again using pmd_same. That should always
return false for us and hence we should retry the access. We do the
pmd_same check in all case after taking plt with
THP (do_huge_pmd_wp_page, do_huge_pmd_numa_page and
huge_pmd_set_accessed)

Also make sure we wait for irq disable section in other cpus to finish
before flipping a huge pte entry with a regular pmd entry. Code paths
like find_linux_pte_or_hugepte depend on irq disable to get
a stable pte_t pointer. A parallel thp split need to make sure we
don't convert a pmd pte to a regular pmd entry without waiting for the
irq disable section to finish.

Similar to the conversion of vm_insert_mixed() use pfn_t in the
vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() to tag the resulting pte with _PAGE_DEVICE when the
pfn is backed by a devm_memremap_pages() mapping.

<title>x86/mm/pat: Add untrack_pfn_moved for mremap</title>

mremap() with MREMAP_FIXED on a VM_PFNMAP range causes the following
WARN_ON_ONCE() message in untrack_pfn().

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3493 at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:985 untrack_pfn+0xbd/0xd0()

  [&lt;ffffffff817793ee&gt;] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x71

MREMAP_FIXED moves a pfnmap from old vma to new vma.  untrack_pfn() is
called with the old vma after its pfnmap page table has been removed,
which causes follow_phys() to fail.  The new vma has a new pfnmap to
the same pfn &amp; cache type with VM_PAT set.  Therefore, we only need to
clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case.

Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma.
move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when
VM_PFNMAP is set.  move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn()
is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "There is only one new feature in this pull for the 4.4 merge window,
  most of it is small enhancements, cleanup and bug fixes:

   - Add the s390 backend for the software dirty bit tracking.  This
     adds two new pgtable functions pte_clear_soft_dirty and
     pmd_clear_soft_dirty which is why there is a hit to
     arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h in this pull request.

   - A series of cleanup patches for the AP bus, this includes the
     removal of the support for two outdated crypto cards (PCICC and
     PCICA).

   - The irq handling / signaling on buffer full in the runtime
     instrumentation code is dropped.

   - Some micro optimizations: remove unnecessary memory barriers for a
     couple of functions: [smb_]rmb, [smb_]wmb, atomics, bitops, and for
     spin_unlock.  Use the builtin bswap if available and make
     test_and_set_bit_lock more cache friendly.

   - Statistics and a tracepoint for the diagnose calls to the
     hypervisor.

   - The CPU measurement facility support to sample KVM guests is
     improved.

   - The vector instructions are now always enabled for user space
     processes if the hardware has the vector facility.  This simplifies
     the FPU handling code.  The fpu-internal.h header is split into fpu
     internals, api and types just like x86.

   - Cleanup and improvements for the common I/O layer.

   - Rework udelay to solve a problem with kprobe.  udelay has busy loop
     semantics but still uses an idle processor state for the wait"

There are primitives to create and query the software dirty bits
in a pte or pmd. But the clearing of the software dirty bits is done
in common code with x86 specific page table functions.

Add the missing architecture primitives to clear the software dirty
bits to allow the feature to be used on non-x86 systems, e.g. the
s390 architecture.
