Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of switching from a user process to a kernel thread. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj Raghav. - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky. - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the alteration of memcg userspace tunables. - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig: - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page() - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap backing. Use `mount -o noswap'. - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing some scalability benefits. - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its operations O(1) rather than O(n). - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd, permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes. - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were caused by its unintuitive meaning. - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature, which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte. - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge(): cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test harness. - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes. - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c. - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more. - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases. - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge(). - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code. - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults. - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to per-VMA locking. - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads. - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig logic. - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a chunk of memory if zswap is not being used. - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics flushing. - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged, userfaultfd and shmem. - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related code paths. - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's testing of our pte state changing. - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it. - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd selftests. - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim accounting. - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the selftests/mm code. - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned pages. - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time. - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a per-process and per-cgroup basis. * tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (369 commits) mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file() sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area() hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map() maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area() mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs mm: add new api to enable ksm per process mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma() lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper ...

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is: - Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement - Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules - My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace. Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help* reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup. Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details: The functional change change in this pull request is the very first patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put together all types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found for it. Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific dynamic debug information. Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request so to: a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit. Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching, kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is active with no clear solution in sight. b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1]. In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use: ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \ $(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo) You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script. Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks. The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code. The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3] of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this instead" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y/kXDqW+7d71C4wz@bombadil.infradead.org/ [0] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/025f2151-ce7c-5630-9b90-98742c97ac65@redhat.com [1] Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/927569/ [2] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230414052840.1994456-3-mcgrof@kernel.org [3] * tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (121 commits) module: add debugging auto-load duplicate module support module: stats: fix invalid_mod_bytes typo module: remove use of uninitialized variable len module: fix building stats for 32-bit targets module: stats: include uapi/linux/module.h module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure module: extract patient module check into helper modules/kmod: replace implementation with a semaphore Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument module: fix kmemleak annotations for non init ELF sections module: Ignore L0 and rename is_arm_mapping_symbol() module: Move is_arm_mapping_symbol() to module_symbol.h module: Sync code of is_arm_mapping_symbol() scripts/gdb: use mem instead of core_layout to get the module address interconnect: remove module-related code interconnect: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules zswap: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules zpool: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules x86/mm/dump_pagetables: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules ...

printk: export console trace point for kcsan/kasan/kfence/kmsan

2023-04-18T23:30:11Z

The console tracepoint is used by kcsan/kasan/kfence/kmsan test modules. Since this tracepoint is not exported, these modules iterate over all available tracepoints to find the console trace point. Export the trace point so that it can be directly used.

Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument

2023-04-18T18:15:24Z

Fundamentally semaphores are a counted primitive, but DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() does not expose this and explicitly creates a binary semaphore. Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument and use that in the few places that open-coded it using __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER().

printk: Remove obsoleted check for non-existent "user" object

2023-04-03T10:05:17Z

The original check for non-null "user" object was introduced by commit e11fea92e13f ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface") when "user" could be NULL if /dev/ksmg was opened for writing. Subsequent change 750afe7babd1 ("printk: add kernel parameter to control writes to /dev/kmsg") made "user" context required for files opened for write, but didn't remove now redundant checks for it to be non-NULL. This patch removes the dead code while preserving the current logic.

kernel/printk/index.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

2023-02-03T09:42:02Z

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.
