<id>urn:sha1:0fa5bc4023c188082024833b3deffd5543b93bc9</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2.

While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last
patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page()
which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages().

The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up
storing the subpages/vmas.  Both together bring the cost of slow variant
of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs.

libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs
vmas.

This patch (of 2):

follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages
in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one.  Similar to gup-fast,
have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting
all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page.

Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge
page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably:

  - 16G with 1G huge page size
  gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w

PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: ~87.6k us -&gt; ~12.8k us

adjust_managed_page_count() as called by free_reserved_page() properly
handles pages in a highmem zone, so we can reuse it for
free_highmem_page().

We can now get rid of totalhigh_pages_inc() and simplify
free_reserved_page().

As David suggested, simply passing 'struct zone *zone' is enough.  We can
get all needed information from 'struct zone*' easily.

The current memmap_init_zone() only handles memory region inside one zone,
actually memmap_init() does the memmap init of one zone.  So rename both
of them accordingly.

<title>mm: fix prototype warning from kernel test robot</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: clean up names and parameters of memmap_init_xxxx functions", v5.

This patchset corrects inappropriate function names of memmap_init_xxx,
and simplify parameters of functions in the code flow.  And also fix a
prototype warning reported by lkp.

This patch (of 5);

Kernel test robot calling make with 'W=1' is triggering warning like
below for memmap_init_zone() function.

  mm/page_alloc.c:6259:23: warning: no previous prototype for 'memmap_init_zone' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
   6259 | void __meminit __weak memmap_init_zone(unsigned long size, int nid,
        |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix it by adding the function declaration in include/linux/mm.h.  Since
memmap_init_zone() has a generic version with '__weak', the declaratoin in
ia64 header file can be simply removed.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls

   - Raise the maximum number of user memslots

   - Scalability improvements for the new MMU.

     Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in
     mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent,
     but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now
     only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will
     be extended to some cases of page table destruction. I hope to
     switch the default MMU around 5.12-rc3 (some testing was delayed
     due to Chinese New Year).

   - Cleanups for MAXPHYADDR checks

   - Use static calls for vendor-specific callbacks

   - On AMD, use VMLOAD/VMSAVE to save and restore host state

   - Stop using deprecated jump label APIs

   - Workaround for AMD erratum that made nested virtualization
     unreliable

   - Support for LBR emulation in the guest

   - Support for communicating bus lock vmexits to userspace

   - Add support for SEV attestation command

   - Miscellaneous cleanups

  PPC:

   - Support for second data watchpoint on POWER10

   - Remove some complex workarounds for buggy early versions of POWER9

   - Guest entry/exit fixes

  ARM64:

   - Make the nVHE EL2 object relocatable

   - Cleanups for concurrent translation faults hitting the same page

   - Support for the standard TRNG hypervisor call

   - A bunch of small PMU/Debug fixes

   - Simplification of the early init hypercall handling

  Non-KVM changes (with acks):

   - Detection of contended rwlocks (implemented only for qrwlocks,
     because KVM only needs it for x86)

   - Allow __DISABLE_EXPORTS from assembly code

   - Provide a saner follow_pfn replacements for modules"

 - Cleanup to the AMU support code and initialisation rework to support

 - Add support for the TRNG firmware call introduced by Arm spec
   DEN0098.

 - Cleanup and refactoring across the board.

 - Avoid calling arch_get_random_seed_long() from
   add_interrupt_randomness()

 - Perf and PMU updates including support for Cortex-A78 and the v8.3
   SPE extensions.

 - Significant steps along the road to leaving the MMU enabled during
   kexec relocation.

 - Faultaround changes to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old' when
   hardware access-flag updates are supported, which drastically
   improves vmscan performance.

 - CPU errata updates for Cortex-A76 (#1463225) and Cortex-A55
   (#1024718)

 - Preparatory work for yielding the vector unit at a finer granularity
   in the crypto code, which in turn will one day allow us to defer
   softirq processing when it is in use.

 - Support for overriding CPU ID register fields on the command-line.
