Merge tag 'slab-for-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - The percpu sheaves caching layer was introduced as opt-in in 6.18 and
   now we enable it for all caches and remove the previous cpu (partial)
   slab caching mechanism.

   Besides the lower locking overhead and much more likely fastpath when
   freeing, this removes the rather complicated code related to the cpu
   slab lockless fastpaths (using this_cpu_try_cmpxchg128/64) and all
   its complications for PREEMPT_RT or kmalloc_nolock().

   The lockless slab freelist+counters update operation using
   try_cmpxchg128/64 remains and is crucial for freeing remote NUMA
   objects, and to allow flushing objects from sheaves to slabs mostly
   without the node list_lock (Vlastimil Babka)

 - Eliminate slabobj_ext metadata overhead when possible. Instead of
   using kmalloc() to allocate the array for memcg and/or allocation
   profiling tag pointers, use leftover space in a slab or per-object
   padding due to alignment (Harry Yoo)

 - Various followup improvements to the above (Hao Li)

9c8c02df3f mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
The PT_RECLAIM can work on all architectures that support
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, except for those that have selected
HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE,so make PT_RECLAIM depends on
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE && !HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE.

BTW, change PT_RECLAIM to be enabled by default, since nobody should want
to turn it off.

086498aed3 mm: convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config
For architectures that define __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE, the page
tables at the pmd/pud level are generally not of struct ptdesc type, and
do not have pt_rcu_head member, thus these architectures cannot support
PT_RECLAIM.

In preparation for enabling PT_RECLAIM on more architectures, convert
__HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config,
so that we can make conditional judgments in Kconfig.

cd8e95d80b mm: rename CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION to CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION
While compaction depends on migration, the other direction is not the
case.  So let's make it clearer that this is all about migration of
balloon pages.

Adjust all comments/docs in the core to talk about "migration" instead of
"compaction".

While at it add some "/* CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION */".

7cf3318a25 mm/kconfig: make BALLOON_COMPACTION depend on MIGRATION
Migration support for balloon memory depends on MIGRATION not COMPACTION. 
Compaction is simply another user of page migration.

The last dependency on compaction.c was effectively removed with commit
3d388584d5 ("mm: convert "movable" flag in page->mapping to a page
flag").  Ever since, everything for handling movable_ops page migration
resides in core migration code.

So let's change the dependency and adjust the description + help text.

We'll rename BALLOON_COMPACTION separately next.

7303ecbfe4 mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE.

In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require
storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of
defining a macro, select a CONFIG option.

This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch
select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. 
__HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on
the new CONFIG instead.

On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected.
This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files
manually undefine PARAVIRT* options.  As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does
not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as
<linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. 
There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine
that new CONFIG too.

269031b15c x86/kaslr: Recognize all ZONE_DEVICE users as physaddr consumers
Commit 7ffb791423 ("x86/kaslr: Reduce KASLR entropy on most x86 systems")
is too narrow. The effect being mitigated in that commit is caused by
ZONE_DEVICE which PCI_P2PDMA has a dependency. ZONE_DEVICE, in general,
lets any physical address be added to the direct-map. I.e. not only ACPI
hotplug ranges, CXL Memory Windows, or EFI Specific Purpose Memory, but
also any PCI MMIO range for the DEVICE_PRIVATE and PCI_P2PDMA cases. Update
the mitigation, limit KASLR entropy, to apply in all ZONE_DEVICE=y cases.

Distro kernels typically have PCI_P2PDMA=y, so the practical exposure of
this problem is limited to the PCI_P2PDMA=n case.

A potential path to recover entropy would be to walk ACPI and determine the
limits for hotplug and PCI MMIO before kernel_randomize_memory(). On
smaller systems that could yield some KASLR address bits. This needs
additional investigation to determine if some limited ACPI table scanning
can happen this early without an open coded solution like
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c needs to deploy.

commit 97f0b13452 ("tracing: add trace event for
memory-failure") introduces the selection of RAS in memory-failure.  This
commit is just a tracing feature; in reality, there is no dependency
between memory-failure and RAS.  RAS increases the size of the bzImage
image by 8k, which is very valuable for embedded devices.

Move the memory-failure traceing code from ras_event.h to
memory-failure.h and remove the selection of RAS.

2ec4196718 mm: handle poisoning of pfn without struct pages
Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster.  The
kernel MM currently does not handle ECC errors / poison on a memory region
that is not backed by struct pages.  If a memory region mapped using
remap_pfn_range() for example, but not added to the kernel, MM will not
have associated struct pages.  Add a new mechanism to handle memory
failure on such memory.

Make kernel MM expose a function to allow modules managing the device
memory to register the device memory SPA and the address space associated
it.  MM maintains this information as an interval tree.  On poison, MM can
search for the range that the poisoned PFN belong and use the
address_space to determine the mapping VMA.

In this implementation, kernel MM follows the following sequence that is
largely similar to the memory_failure() handler for struct page backed
memory:

1. memory_failure() is triggered on reception of a poison error.  An
   absence of struct page is detected and consequently
   memory_failure_pfn() is executed.

2. memory_failure_pfn() collects the processes mapped to the PFN.

3. memory_failure_pfn() sends SIGBUS to all the processes mapping the
   faulty PFN using kill_procs().

Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the
poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN. 
This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that
enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level.  A poison to a PFN
mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs
that will get mirrored into the S2.  This can greatly increase the cost of
table walks and have a major performance impact.

e97d7c5165 mm: shmem/tmpfs hugepage defaults config choice
Allow to override defaults for shemem and tmpfs at config time.  This is
consistent with how transparent hugepages can be configured.

Same results can be achieved with the existing
'transparent_hugepage_shmem' and 'transparent_hugepage_tmpfs' settings in
the kernel command line, but it is more convenient to define basic
settings at config time instead of changing kernel command line later.

Defaults for shmem and tmpfs were not changed.  They are remained the same
as before: 'never' for both cases.  Options 'deny' and 'force' are omitted
intentionally since these are special values and supposed to be used for
emergencies or testing and are not expected to be permanent ones.

Primary motivation for adding config option is to enable policy
enforcement at build time.  In large-scale production environments (Meta's
for example), the kernel configuration is often maintained centrally close
to the kernel code itself and owned by the kernel engineers, while boot
parameters are managed independently (e.g.  by provisioning systems).  In
such setups, the kernel build defines the supported and expected behavior
in a single place, but there is no reliable or uniform control over the
kernel command line options.

A build-time default allows kernel integrators to enforce a predictable
hugepage policy for shmem/tmpfs on a base layer, ensuring reproducible
behavior and avoiding configuration drift caused by possible boot-time
differences.

In short, primary benefit is mostly operational: it provides a way to
codify preferred policy in the kernel configuration, which is versioned,
reviewed, and tested as part of the kernel build process, rather than
depending on potentially variable boot parameters.

5ba2f0a155 mm: introduce deferred freeing for kernel page tables
This introduces a conditional asynchronous mechanism, enabled by
CONFIG_ASYNC_KERNEL_PGTABLE_FREE.  When enabled, this mechanism defers the
freeing of pages that are used as page tables for kernel address mappings.
These pages are now queued to a work struct instead of being freed
immediately.

This deferred freeing allows for batch-freeing of page tables, providing a
safe context for performing a single expensive operation (TLB flush) for a
batch of kernel page tables instead of performing that expensive operation
for each page table.

39231e8d6b mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlb
In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios.  In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.

In commit fae7d834c4 ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle.  In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios.  Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.

In commit 7b4f21f5e0 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.

Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.

To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc).  Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.

Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios.  Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.

While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer. 
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.

Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.

While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

af92793e52 slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().
kmalloc_nolock() relies on ability of local_trylock_t to detect
the situation when per-cpu kmem_cache is locked.

In !PREEMPT_RT local_(try)lock_irqsave(&s->cpu_slab->lock, flags)
disables IRQs and marks s->cpu_slab->lock as acquired.
local_lock_is_locked(&s->cpu_slab->lock) returns true when
slab is in the middle of manipulating per-cpu cache
of that specific kmem_cache.

kmalloc_nolock() can be called from any context and can re-enter
into ___slab_alloc():
  kmalloc() -> ___slab_alloc(cache_A) -> irqsave -> NMI -> bpf ->
    kmalloc_nolock() -> ___slab_alloc(cache_B)
or
  kmalloc() -> ___slab_alloc(cache_A) -> irqsave -> tracepoint/kprobe -> bpf ->
    kmalloc_nolock() -> ___slab_alloc(cache_B)

Hence the caller of ___slab_alloc() checks if &s->cpu_slab->lock
can be acquired without a deadlock before invoking the function.
If that specific per-cpu kmem_cache is busy the kmalloc_nolock()
retries in a different kmalloc bucket. The second attempt will
likely succeed, since this cpu locked different kmem_cache.

Similarly, in PREEMPT_RT local_lock_is_locked() returns true when
per-cpu rt_spin_lock is locked by current _task_. In this case
re-entrance into the same kmalloc bucket is unsafe, and
kmalloc_nolock() tries a different bucket that is most likely is
not locked by the current task. Though it may be locked by a
different task it's safe to rt_spin_lock() and sleep on it.

Similar to alloc_pages_nolock() the kmalloc_nolock() returns NULL
immediately if called from hard irq or NMI in PREEMPT_RT.

kfree_nolock() defers freeing to irq_work when local_lock_is_locked()
and (in_nmi() or in PREEMPT_RT).

SLUB_TINY config doesn't use local_lock_is_locked() and relies on
spin_trylock_irqsave(&n->list_lock) to allocate,
while kfree_nolock() always defers to irq_work.

Note, kfree_nolock() must be called _only_ for objects allocated
with kmalloc_nolock(). Debug checks (like kmemleak and kfence)
were skipped on allocation, hence obj = kmalloc(); kfree_nolock(obj);
will miss kmemleak/kfence book keeping and will cause false positives.
large_kmalloc is not supported by either kmalloc_nolock()
or kfree_nolock().

cde31ecdd1 mm/memory-failure: don't select MEMORY_ISOLATION
We added that "select MEMORY_ISOLATION" in commit ee6f509c32 ("mm:
factor out memory isolate functions").  However, in commit add05cecef
("mm: soft-offline: don't free target page in successful page migration")
we remove the need for it, where we removed the calls to
set_migratetype_isolate() etc.

What CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE soft-offline support wants is migrate_pages()
support.  But that comes with CONFIG_MIGRATION.  And
isolate_folio_to_list() has nothing to do with CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION.

Therefore, we can remove "select MEMORY_ISOLATION" of MEMORY_FAILURE.

f8f03eb5f0 mm: stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable
Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch #6 -> #13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch #14 -> #20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch #22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch #23 -> #33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch #34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch #35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch #36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch #37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

2ccd9fecd9 mm: remove unused zpool layer
With zswap using zsmalloc directly, there are no more in-tree users of
this code.  Remove it.

With zpool gone, zsmalloc is now always a simple dependency and no
longer something the user needs to configure. Hide CONFIG_ZSMALLOC
from the user and have zswap and zram pull it in as needed.

2d8bd8049e mm: add persistent huge zero folio
Many places in the kernel need to zero out larger chunks, but the maximum
segment that can be zeroed out at a time by ZERO_PAGE is limited by
PAGE_SIZE.

This is especially annoying in block devices and filesystems where
multiple ZERO_PAGEs are attached to the bio in different bvecs.  With
multipage bvec support in block layer, it is much more efficient to send
out larger zero pages as a part of single bvec.

This concern was raised during the review of adding Large Block Size
support to XFS[1][2].

Usually huge_zero_folio is allocated on demand, and it will be deallocated
by the shrinker if there are no users of it left.  At moment,
huge_zero_folio infrastructure refcount is tied to the process lifetime
that created it.  This might not work for bio layer as the completions can
be async and the process that created the huge_zero_folio might no longer
be alive.  And, one of the main points that came up during discussion is
to have something bigger than zero page as a drop-in replacement.

Add a config option PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO that will result in
allocating the huge zero folio during early init and never free the memory
by disabling the shrinker.  This makes using the huge_zero_folio without
having to pass any mm struct and does not tie the lifetime of the zero
folio to anything, making it a drop-in replacement for ZERO_PAGE.

If PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO config option is enabled, then
mm_get_huge_zero_folio() will simply return the allocated page instead of
dynamically allocating a new PMD page.

Use this option carefully in resource constrained systems as it uses one
full PMD sized page for zeroing purposes.

4c89792ea0 mm: rename vm_ops->find_special_page() to vm_ops->find_normal_page()
...  and hide it behind a kconfig option.  There is really no need for any
!xen code to perform this check.

The naming is a bit off: we want to find the "normal" page when a PTE was
marked "special".  So it's really not "finding a special" page.

Improve the documentation, and add a comment in the code where XEN ends up
performing the pte_mkspecial() through a hypercall.  More details can be
found in commit 923b2919e2 ("xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special
on x86 PV guests").

59b5ed409d mm/percpu: conditionally define _shared_alloc_tag via CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag

If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and
alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu
variable _shared_alloc_tag.

Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.

When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if
defined(MODULE)).  However, when building modules for these architectures,
the macro is explicitly defined.

Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the
code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the
relevant logic.  We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable
_shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU.  This
allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions
for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others
can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

e13e7922d0 mm: add CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER to select page block order
Problem: On large page size configurations (16KiB, 64KiB), the CMA
alignment requirement (CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES) increases considerably,
and this causes the CMA reservations to be larger than necessary.  This
means that system will have less available MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page blocks since MIGRATE_CMA can't fallback to them.

The CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES increases because it depends on MAX_PAGE_ORDER
which depends on ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.  The value of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
increases on 16k and 64k kernels.

For example, in ARM, the CMA alignment requirement when:

- CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER default value is used
- CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is set:

PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   4KiB   |      10        |       9         |  4KiB * (2 ^  9) =   2MiB
  16Kib   |      11        |      11         | 16KiB * (2 ^ 11) =  32MiB
  64KiB   |      13        |      13         | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB

There are some extreme cases for the CMA alignment requirement when:

- CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER maximum value is set
- CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is NOT set:
- CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is NOT set

PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order |  CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   4KiB   |      15        |      15         |  4KiB * (2 ^ 15) = 128MiB
  16Kib   |      13        |      13         | 16KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 128MiB
  64KiB   |      13        |      13         | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB

This affects the CMA reservations for the drivers. If a driver in a
4KiB kernel needs 4MiB of CMA memory, in a 16KiB kernel, the minimal
reservation has to be 32MiB due to the alignment requirements:

reserved-memory {
    ...
    cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve {
        compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
        size = <0x0 0x400000>; /* 4 MiB */
        ...
    };
};

reserved-memory {
    ...
    cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve {
        compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
        size = <0x0 0x2000000>; /* 32 MiB */
        ...
    };
};

Solution: Add a new config CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER that allows to set the
page block order in all the architectures.  The maximum page block order
will be given by ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.

By default, CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER will have the same value that
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.  This will make sure that current kernel
configurations won't be affected by this change.  It is a opt-in change.

This patch will allow to have the same CMA alignment requirements for
large page sizes (16KiB, 64KiB) as that in 4kb kernels by setting a lower
pageblock_order.

Tests:

- Verified that HugeTLB pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on
  4k and 16k kernels.

- Verified that Transparent Huge Pages work when pageblock_order is 1,
  7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels.

- Verified that dma-buf heaps allocations work when pageblock_order is
  1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels.

Benchmarks:

The benchmarks compare 16kb kernels with pageblock_order 10 and 7.  The
reason for the pageblock_order 7 is because this value makes the min CMA
alignment requirement the same as that in 4kb kernels (2MB).

- Perform 100K dma-buf heaps (/dev/dma_heap/system) allocations of
  SZ_8M, SZ_4M, SZ_2M, SZ_1M, SZ_64, SZ_8, SZ_4.  Use simpleperf
  (https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/simpleperf) to measure the #
  of instructions and page-faults on 16k kernels.  The benchmark was
  executed 10 times.  The averages are below:

           # instructions         |     #page-faults

a24f2fb70c LoongArch: Introduce the numa_memblks conversion
Commit 8748270821 ("mm: introduce numa_memblks") has moved
numa_memblks from x86 to the generic code, but LoongArch was left out
of this conversion.

This patch introduces the generic numa_memblks for LoongArch.

In detail:
1. Enable NUMA_MEMBLKS (but disable NUMA_EMU) in Kconfig;
2. Use generic definition for numa_memblk and numa_meminfo;
3. Use generic implementation for numa_add_memblk() and its friends;
4. Use generic implementation for numa_set_distance() and its friends;
5. Use generic implementation for memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() and its
   friends.

Note: Disable NUMA_EMU because it needs more efforts and no obvious
demand now.

cc79061b8f mm: khugepaged: decouple SHMEM and file folios' collapse
Originally, the file pages collapse was intended for tmpfs/shmem to merge
into THP in the background.  However, now not only tmpfs/shmem can support
large folios, but some other file systems (such as XFS, erofs ...) also
support large folios.  Therefore, it is time to decouple the support of
file folios collapse from SHMEM.

d59f43b574 memblock: add support for scratch memory
With KHO (Kexec HandOver), we need a way to ensure that the new kernel
does not allocate memory on top of any memory regions that the previous
kernel was handing over.  But to know where those are, we need to include
them in the memblock.reserved array which may not be big enough to hold
all ranges that need to be persisted across kexec.  To resize the array,
we need to allocate memory.  That brings us into a catch 22 situation.

The solution to that is limit memblock allocations to the scratch regions:
safe regions to operate in the case when there is memory that should
remain intact across kexec.

KHO provides several "scratch regions" as part of its metadata.  These
scratch regions are contiguous memory blocks that known not to contain any
memory that should be persisted across kexec.  These regions should be
large enough to accommodate all memblock allocations done by the kexeced
kernel.

We introduce a new memblock_set_scratch_only() function that allows KHO to
indicate that any memblock allocation must happen from the scratch
regions.

Later, we may want to perform another KHO kexec.  For that, we reuse the
same scratch regions.  To ensure that no eventually handed over data gets
allocated inside a scratch region, we flip the semantics of the scratch
region with memblock_clear_scratch_only(): After that call, no allocations
may happen from scratch memblock regions.  We will lift that restriction
in the next patch.

6f110a5e4f Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing
... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions.

Before commit 6c6c1fc09d ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').

After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.

And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary.  As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.

The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself.  And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.

So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage.  Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

   implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
 
 - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"

e63ee43e3e mm: CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT to prepare for not maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios
We're close to the finishing line: let's introduce a new
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT config option where we will incrementally remove
any dependencies on per-page mapcounts in large folios.  Once that's done,
we'll stop maintaining the per-page mapcounts with this config option
enabled.

CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT will be EXPERIMENTAL for now, as we'll have to
learn about some of the real world impact of some of the implications.

As writing "!CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" is really nasty, let's introduce a
helper config option "CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" that expresses the negation.

6af8cb80d3 mm/rmap: basic MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)
For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it
was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or
whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1).  For
PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar
mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the
future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work.

So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios.  Let's add a new
mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped
exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared".

We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped
anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to
folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts.

For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores:
 (1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM
 (2) a per-MM mapcount

If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio
page.

In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs. 
"maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to
reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates.  In the future, it
might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio".  For
now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is
incompatible with RT.

As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even
folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required
metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int.  In
total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit.

32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int
in order-1 folios.  But we can make it work for now, because we neither
expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit.

We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs.  "mapped
shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time
-- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps
that hand over state from one instance to another.

As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe
mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively".

Example 1:

(1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0
(2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1
(4) App1 unmaps all folio pages

 -> We will detect "mapped exclusively".

Example 2:

(1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0
(2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1
(3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown"
(4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages

 -> We will detect "maybe mapped shared".

Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when
(un)mapping large folios to a minimum.

Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the
MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic
setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding
any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new
metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in
micro-benchmarks.

d65917c423 mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at boot
Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is
initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized. 
They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively.

This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page
structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  Specifically,
hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and
resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later
(and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the
process).

Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external
use.

In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g. 
they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already.

The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit.

Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to
use it.

The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT,
which is selected if an architecture-specific option,
ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set.  In the future, if other
subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion.

The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and
the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h). 
Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling
options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT.

Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do
have room.

6df8bae8e8 mm: zbud: remove zbud
The zbud compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc.  zbud consumes much more memory (only stores 1 or 2 compressed
pages per physical page).  The only advantage of zbud is a marginal
performance improvement that by no means justify the memory overhead.

Historically, zsmalloc had significantly worse latency than zbud and
z3fold but offered better memory savings.  This is no longer the case as
shown by a simple recent analysis [1].  In a kernel build test on tmpfs in
a limited cgroup, zbud 2-3% less time than zsmalloc, but at the cost of
using ~32% more memory (1.5G vs 1.13G).  The tradeoff does not make sense
for zbud in any practical scenario.

The only alleged advantage of zbud is not having the dependency on
CONFIG_MMU, but CONFIG_SWAP already depends on CONFIG_MMU anyway, and zbud
is only used by zswap.

Remove zbud after z3fold's removal, leaving zsmalloc as the one and only
zpool allocator.  Leave the removal of the zpool API (and its associated
config options) to a followup cleanup after no more allocators show up.

Deprecating zbud for a few cycles before removing it was initially
proposed [2], like z3fold was marked as deprecated for 2 cycles [3]. 
However, Johannes rightfully pointed out that the 2 cycles is too short
for most downstream consumers, and z3fold was deprecated first only as a
courtesy anyway.

c9f8f1242a slab: don't batch kvfree_rcu() with SLUB_TINY
kvfree_rcu() is batched for better performance except on TINY_RCU, which
is a simple implementation for small UP systems. Similarly SLUB_TINY is
an option intended for small systems, whether or not used together with
TINY_RCU. In case SLUB_TINY is used with !TINY_RCU, it makes arguably
sense to not do the batching and limit the memory footprint. It's also
suboptimal to have RCU-specific #ifdefs in slab code.

With that, add CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED to determine whether batching
kvfree_rcu() implementation is used. It is not set by a user prompt, but
enabled by default and disabled in case TINY_RCU or SLUB_TINY are
enabled.

Use the new config for #ifdef's in slab code and extend their scope to
cover all code used by the batched kvfree_rcu(). For example there's no
need to perform kvfree_rcu_init() if the batching is disabled.

44d46b76c3 mm: add build-time option for hotplug memory default online type
Memory hotplug presently auto-onlines memory into a zone the kernel deems
appropriate if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y.

The memhp_default_state boot param enables runtime config, but it's not
possible to do this at build-time.

Remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE, and replace it with
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_* choices that sync with the boot param.

Selections:
  CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE
    => mhp_default_online_type = "offline"
       Memory will not be onlined automatically.

  CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO
    => mhp_default_online_type = "online"
       Memory will be onlined automatically in a zone deemed.
       appropriate by the kernel.

  CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_KERNEL
    => mhp_default_online_type = "online_kernel"
       Memory will be onlined automatically.
       The zone may allow kernel data (e.g. ZONE_NORMAL).

  CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE
    => mhp_default_online_type = "online_movable"
       Memory will be onlined automatically.
       The zone will be ZONE_MOVABLE.

Default to CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE to match the existing
default CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n behavior.

Existing users of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y should use
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO.

6375e95f38 mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some
high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or
tcmalloc.  These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE)
to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will
release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage.

The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually
happened on our server:

        VIRT:  55t
        RES:   590g
        VmPTE: 110g

In this case, most of the page table entries are empty.  For such a PTE
page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the
system for others to use.

As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE
pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case.  We will detect and free empty PTE
pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude
cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).

Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within
the pte lock.  If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path).
Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd
and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect
whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path).

For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.

The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization:

        mmap 50G
        while (1) {
                for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) {
                        touch 2M memory
                        madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M
                }
        }

As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced:

                        before                          after
VIRT                   50.0 GB                        50.0 GB
RES                     3.1 MB                         3.1 MB
VmPTE                102640 KB                         240 KB

b7c5f9a1fb resource: remove dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGION
We want to use the functions (get_free_mem_region()) configured via
GET_FREE_REGION in resource kunit tests.  However, GET_FREE_REGION
depends on SPARSEMEM now.  This makes resource kunit tests cannot be
built on some architectures lacking SPARSEMEM, or causes config warning
as follows,

  WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GET_FREE_REGION
  Depends on [n]: SPARSEMEM [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST [=y] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && KUNIT [=y]

When get_free_mem_region() was introduced the only consumers were those
looking to pass the address range to memremap_pages().  That address
range needed to be mindful of the maximum addressable platform physical
address which at the time only SPARSMEM defined via MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

Given that memremap_pages() also depended on SPARSEMEM via ZONE_DEVICE,
it was easier to just depend on that definition than invent a general
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS concept outside of SPARSEMEM.

Turns out that decision was buggy and did not account for KASAN
consumption of physical address space.  That problem was resolved
recently with commit ea72ce5da2 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end
of the physical memory address space"), and GET_FREE_REGION dropped its
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dependency.

Then commit 99185c10d5 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()"), went ahead and fixed up the only remaining
dependency on SPARSEMEM which was usage of the PA_SECTION_SHIFT macro
for setting the default alignment.  A PAGE_SIZE fallback is fine in the
SPARSEMEM=n case.

With those build dependencies gone GET_FREE_REGION no longer depends on
SPARSEMEM.  So, the patch removes dependency on SPARSEMEM from
GET_FREE_REGION to fix the build issues.

a334407810 mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP
SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4".  Unfortunately, that
evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option.  This
results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig.  This in turn
causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging
options are enabled.

Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does
not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry
always evaluates to false.  Example:

config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS
       def_bool y
       depends on !NR_CPUS

After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes:
$ grep NR_CPUS .config
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y

Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures
define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations.

Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.

7a2369b74a mm: z3fold: deprecate CONFIG_Z3FOLD
The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc.  The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the
dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the
default zswap allocator for a long time.

Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered
better memory savings.  This is no longer the case as shown by a simple
recent analysis [1].  That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any
advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory
usage.  In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took
3% more time and used 1.8% more memory.  The latency of zswap_load() was
7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher.  Zsmalloc is better
in all metrics.

Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by
a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2].  Switching to zsmalloc
not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to
1~2G.  Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling
z3fold.

Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering
effort.  Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple
development discussions (e.g.  [3]) as something we need to handle, when
there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally).

The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few
cycles if no objections are raised from active users.  Next on the list
should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge
memory waste when compared to zsmalloc.  That one will need to wait until
zsmalloc does not depend on MMU.

Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to
CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new
prompt with explanation during make oldconfig.  Also, remove
CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

6857be5fec mm: introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP and special bits to pmd/pud
Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.

Overview
========

This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general.  Huge
pfnmap allows e.g.  VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits.  Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g.  PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.

Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported.  The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.

Implementation
==============

In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).

One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user.  This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it.  Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.

The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping.  This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.

Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes.  A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now.  Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly. 
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g.  pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.

Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:

  - ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP

    Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
    supported in arch's Kconfig.  After this patchset applied, both x86_64
    and arm64 will start to enable it by default.

  - ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP

    These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
    arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
    use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them.  One can refer to the last
    vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
    driver.

So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:

  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100

In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.

Patch Layout
============

Patch 1:         Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2:         A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8:       Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
                 special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16:      Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
                 then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17:        Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18:        Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19:        Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)

TODO
====

More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------

Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported.  There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].

Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.

remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------

Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs.  With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.

When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.

More driver support
-------------------

VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied.  Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes.  This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar.  But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.

Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):

This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds.  Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option.  Per-arch support will be added
later.

Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.
