__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE is now supported by all architectures that
support swp PTEs, so let's drop it.

<id>urn:sha1:2321ba3e3733f513e46e29b9c70512ecddbf1085</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all
architectures with swap PTEs".

This is the follow-up on [1]:
	[PATCH v2 0/8] mm: COW fixes part 3: reliable GUP R/W FOLL_GET of
	anonymous pages

After we implemented __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on most prominent
enterprise architectures, implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all
remaining architectures that support swap PTEs.

This makes sure that exclusive anonymous pages will stay exclusive, even
after they were swapped out -- for example, making GUP R/W FOLL_GET of
anonymous pages reliable.  Details can be found in [1].

This primarily fixes remaining known O_DIRECT memory corruptions that can
happen on concurrent swapout, whereby we can lose DMA reads to a page
(modifying the user page by writing to it).

To verify, there are two test cases (requiring swap space, obviously):
(1) The O_DIRECT+swapout test case [2] from Andrea. This test case tries
    triggering a race condition.
(2) My vmsplice() test case [3] that tries to detect if the exclusive
    marker was lost during swapout, not relying on a race condition.


For example, on 32bit x86 (with and without PAE), my test case fails
without these patches:
	$ ./test_swp_exclusive
	FAIL: page was replaced during COW
But succeeds with these patches:
	$ ./test_swp_exclusive
	PASS: page was not replaced during COW


Why implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE for all architectures, even
the ones where swap support might be in a questionable state?  This is the
first step towards removing "readable_exclusive" migration entries, and
instead using pte_swp_exclusive() also with (readable) migration entries
instead (as suggested by Peter).  The only missing piece for that is
supporting pmd_swp_exclusive() on relevant architectures with THP
migration support.

As all relevant architectures now implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE,,
we can drop __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE in the last patch.

I tried cross-compiling all relevant setups and tested on x86 and sparc64
so far.

CCing arch maintainers only on this cover letter and on the respective
patch(es).

[3] https://gitlab.com/davidhildenbrand/scratchspace/-/blob/main/test_swp_exclusive.c


This patch (of 26):

We want to implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures. 
Let's extend our sanity checks, especially testing that our PTE bit does
not affect:

* is_swap_pte() -&gt; pte_present() and pte_none()
* the swap entry + type
* pte_swp_soft_dirty()

Especially, the pfn_pte() is dodgy when the swap PTE layout differs
heavily from ordinary PTEs.  Let's properly construct a swap PTE from swap
type+offset.

<title>mm/debug: use valid physical memory for pmd/pud tests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c4876ff68716e5372224d17045b47610d667a0ee</id>
<content type='text'>
The page table debug tests need a physical address to validate low-level
page table manipulation with.  The memory at this address is not actually
touched, it just encoded in the page table entries at various levels
during the tests only.

Since the memory is not used, the code just picks the physical address of
the start_kernel symbol.  This value is then truncated to get a properly
aligned address that is to be used for various tests.  Because of the
truncation, the address might not actually exist, or might not describe a
complete huge page.  That's not a problem for most tests, but the
arch-specific code may check for attribute validity and consistency.  The
x86 version of {pud,pmd}_set_huge actually validates the MTRRs for the
PMD/PUD range.  This may fail with an address derived from start_kernel,
depending on where the kernel was loaded and what the physical memory
layout of the system is.  This then leads to false negatives for the
{pud,pmd}_set_huge tests.

Avoid this by finding a properly aligned memory range that exists and is
usable.  If such a range is not found, skip the tests that needed it.

... and while at it, drop __pte_write() and __pmd_write() on ppc64.

Patch series "mm: protection_map[] cleanups".


This patch (of 2):

Although protection_map[] contains the platform defined page protection
map for a given vm_flags combination, vm_get_page_prot() is the right
interface to use.  This will also reduce dependency on protection_map[]
which is going to be dropped off completely later on.

Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.

This patch (of 4):

The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.

The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:

CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y

During the boot the following BUG is printed:

  debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable         ]: Validating architecture page table helpers
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!

  ...

The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.

We have ptep_get_and_clear() and ptep_get_and_clear_full() helpers to
clear PTE from user page tables, but there is no variant for simple
clear of a present PTE from user page tables without using a low level
pte_clear() which can be either native or para-virtualised.

Add a new ptep_clear() that can be used in common code to clear PTEs
from page table.  We will need this call later in order to add a hook
for page table check.
