Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau):
Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported
mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan
completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork
and remap; verify that the contents survive.
Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
- "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
(Sarthak Sharma):
Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the
benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest,
and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job
instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks.
Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
- "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun
Song):
Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the
backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling
of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime
requirements.
- "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB"
(Muchun Song):
Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with
section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large
huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization,
teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight.
- "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split
helpers" (Kairui Song):
Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix
error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional
code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and
lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both
cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long
since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling
around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible,
rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the
contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces
latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes,
making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend
the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be
used rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi
Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say
whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users,
including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and
flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb,
which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out
the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble
over freed tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so
reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the
per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist
its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table
interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a
useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're
actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their
neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless
cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.
Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region,
and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into
the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ
Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including
validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly
about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before
they become harder to diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg
API" (Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is
mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler
catch accidental writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's
virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with
the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there
too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow
without changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush()
interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested
mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than
relying on subtly different architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.
They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only
makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and
let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path
helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin
behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant
work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every
descriptor can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier
instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling
correct while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory"
(Krishna Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant
access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall
through a hole in the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to
the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface
which we no longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory
Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference
to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry
Song):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold
and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list
handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction
candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation,
not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through
shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting,
and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve
usage" (Ye Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and
make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less
frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ
Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers
can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core,
interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler
code and fewer opportunities for confusion.
- "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in
docs" (SJ Park):
Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and
bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should
make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain.
- "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range
of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the
desired hugepage sizes.
- "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong
rather than to test harness bookkeeping.
- "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes
Weiner):
Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap
space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive
split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
- "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the
shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does
not quietly consume more metadata than it should.
- "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore
global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it
found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
- "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio
and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the
swap paths a little more consistent.
- "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce
duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while
making it clearer how zones are selected.
- "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock
once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the
lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug
kernels.
- "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under
Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and
documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth
doing.
- "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring
probes observed.
- "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd.
The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these
paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
- "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and
expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes
in this batch.
- "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng
Wang):
Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD
and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and
remove the redundant flag plumbing.
- "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during
demotion" (Longlong Xia):
Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting
huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as
one huge page turns into several smaller ones.
- "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
validation" (Jason Angelov):
Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe
parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in
ordinary monitoring tests.
- "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms"
(SJ Park):
Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the
sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and
control behavior were real.
- "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable
lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making
those frequent operations cheaper.
- "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers.
There is no need to maintain another local version of the same
mechanism.
- "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull
duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional
changes are intended.
- "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity"
(Ridong Chen):
Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read
and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing
unnecessary twists in the control flow.
- "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury
Norov):
Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage
where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks
so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed.
- "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work
and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which
were better fixed than left lying around.
- "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
intended to remain the same.
- "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots
which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely
used swap devices.
- "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags,
rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make
tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
- "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be
bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU
chasing an entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten
its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result
should be more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace
event needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio"
(Hongfu Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between
nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can
retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify
kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up
some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup"
(Tianyi Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret
setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures
caused by the test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core
layer" (SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making
each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions
consistent across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto
tuning" (Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default"
(Breno Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third
confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The
extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug
builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are
reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to
guess how far the operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for
damon_call()" (SJ Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an
invalid state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another
way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the
filter interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct
page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the
normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for
the next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents"
(Liew Rui Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a
missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error
could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it
wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation
and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what
users should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson
Felipe Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and
avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained
scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.
Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb()
fails" (Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale
accounting or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor
doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open
measurements independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory
Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle
them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has
ordinary system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There
is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mattst88/alpha
Pull alpha floating point emulation fix from Matt Turner:
"Make the FP emulation determine tininess after rounding, as the
hardware does.
soft-fp always determined it before rounding, so an operation that
trapped for software completion could report an underflow the same
operation would not report when it did not trap. glibc's math
testsuite catches the disagreement.
This adds _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING to the shared soft-fp code in
include/math-emu/, as glibc's copy already has, and sets it only for
alpha. It defaults to zero, so powerpc, sh and sparc are unchanged.
This is the last patch of a three-patch series; the first two were
merged for v7.3"
* tag 'alpha-fixes-v7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mattst88/alpha:
alpha: determine tininess after rounding in the FP emulation
|
|
IEEE 754 lets an architecture determine tininess of a floating-point
result either before or after rounding, but requires the same choice for
every operation. Alpha determines it after rounding, and stdlib's
tst-tininess confirms the hardware does so for the results it produces
itself.
The soft-fp emulation has no notion of the distinction and always
determines tininess before rounding, so a result that the hardware would
not consider tiny is reported as underflowing whenever the instruction
happens to trap for software completion. The two paths then disagree on
the same machine. A multiply of the largest subnormal double by
1 + 2^-52 rounds up to the smallest normal and raises no underflow when
the operands are normal, but raises it when an operand is subnormal and
the instruction traps:
glibc math testsuite, test-float32x-float64-mul:
Failure: mul_double (0x3.ffffffffffffcp-1024, 0x1.0000000000001p+0):
Exception "Underflow" set
Add _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING, as glibc's copy of soft-fp has, and set
it for alpha. It determines tininess by rounding a copy of the result as
if the exponent range were unbounded, which is what the definition asks
for. A plain check of whether the rounded result came out normal is not
equivalent: it differs for values that are still tiny once rounded with
an unbounded exponent range but reach the smallest normal on the coarser
subnormal grid. That plain check is what the hardware itself does (it
decides tininess from the delivered result), and it is why a divide such
as -0x4p-128 / 0x1.000002p+0 in FE_DOWNWARD delivers -0x1p-126 and raises
nothing although the result is tiny after rounding. Such cases do not
trap, so the emulation never sees them; where it does get control, it
follows the definition rather than reproducing that deviation, which is
what glibc's soft-fp does as well.
The macro defaults to zero, so powerpc, sh and sparc keep determining
tininess before rounding as they do now.

Pull alpha updates from Magnus Lindholm:
"This completes Alpha's conversion to GENERIC_ENTRY and enables a range
of kernel features through Kconfig updates, including UBSAN, gcov,
kmemleak, page-table checking, fast GUP and sparse IRQs.
It includes TLB and MMU context fixes prompted by glibc test-suite
failures, HugeTLB support for 64KB, 512KB and 4MB pages, and fixes for
poisoned-page faults and page-table checking.
Machine-check handling is improved on Tsunami platforms, with bounded
EV6 logout decoding, Clipper environmental event reporting and safer
firmware console-log scanning.
Other changes add self-extracting compressed kernels with support for
all kernel compression formats, Alpha-specific XZ tuning, perf
register and user-stack sampling, and Alpha support in the seccomp
selftests. The series also fixes user stack-pointer reporting and IRQ

Decode PCI and ECC transactions separately, honor invalid transaction
information, and select Pchip errors using the logout summary. Report
master aborts without importing Titan-specific dismissal policy.
Delegate processor vectors to the bounded EV6 decoder.
On system vectors 660/620, capture live PERROR and MISC before
acknowledging their defined W1C bits and report live status absent from
the saved frame. Leave live chipset registers alone on CPU and
environmental vectors: HRM 10.2.5.6 warns that PERROR can have INV set
before the error reaches DRIR. Consuming that state from a CPU vector
could lose the transaction and its pending system-error notification.
Leave PERRMASK as configured by firmware. HRM 10.2.5.7 says a cleared
mask bit prevents the corresponding PERROR bit from being set, including
by PERRSET. Table 10-43 gives a reset value of zero, so this reporting
depends on firmware enabling the errors; changing masks does not
establish that previously latched state is cleared. Table 10-42 marks
PERROR bit 9 reserved (MBZ/RAZ); remove the obsolete RTO definition and
reserve its bitfield.
Use the system vector and frame bounds without restricting the reason
code to the ES40 values. Preserve invalid frames and unknown environmental
layouts in bounded raw dumps. Print CPU registers for uncorrectable system
errors, including the PC needed to diagnose NXM. Gate correctable system
register dumps on CONFIG_VERBOSE_MCHECK and alpha_verbose_mcheck while
retaining their error decode.
Keep transaction information unavailable whenever SERR is set, as
required by HRM 8.8.2.6. Table 10-42 selects ECC fields for CRE/UECC.

Context switch and tracepoint events have no trap frame, so perf builds
one with perf_fetch_caller_regs(). Alpha does not define
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(), which leaves that pt_regs zeroed, and
these samples report pc as 0.
Record the caller's address as pc. The zero ps already marks the frame
as kernel mode, and pt_regs has nowhere to keep sp, so pc is all that
can be filled in.
perf_fetch_caller_regs() gets that address from CALLER_ADDR0, which
alpha defines as 0 when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is disabled. Finding the
level zero return address does not need a frame pointer, so make
alpha_ftrace_return_address0() available in both configurations. Only
ftrace_return_address(n) still depends on frame pointers.

Let perf sample registers and dump the user stack, which is what the
perf tool needs for --call-graph dwarf.
The register indices follow the hardware numbering, so r0-r30 map
directly to DWARF register numbers, with pc after them. r9-r15
are callee-saved and live in switch_stack rather than pt_regs, so they
cannot be sampled. Without r15 an unwinder cannot recover the CFA of a
first frame that uses $15 as its frame pointer.
sp is not in pt_regs either: for user frames it comes from
user_stack_pointer(), and for kernel frames (PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR) it
is the end of the trap frame, as in stacktrace.c.
Software events such as context switches and tracepoints hand perf a
per-CPU pt_regs filled in by perf_fetch_caller_regs() instead of a
trap frame. It is not on the stack and has no room for sp, so report
sp as 0 there rather than the address of the per-CPU buffer.

PALcode keeps the user stack pointer in the PCB, not the trap frame, so
pt_regs->usp is only valid where entry code stores it: entSys,
do_entArith() and do_entIF(). Interrupts, page faults and unaligned
traps leave it stale, and ptrace and /proc/<pid>/syscall read it
through user_stack_pointer().
A user-mode pt_regs is at the top of its task's stack, so find the
thread_info from it and use rdusp() for current or pcb.usp otherwise,
as KSTK_ESP() and the regset code already do.

flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_page() and flush_icache_user_page() skip the
shootdown IPI when mm_users <= 1, on the assumption that no other CPU can
be running the mm. A task that borrows an mm through kthread_use_mm()
takes mmgrab() rather than mmget(), so it never appears in mm_users, and
kthread_use_mm() may be handed an mm that is already the caller's
active_mm and loaded on that CPU. Such a CPU was not only left without
an IPI, its mm->context[cpu] was cleared from under it.
mm->context[cpu] is already the record of which CPUs hold an ASN for the
mm. Test it rather than clearing it: take the shortcut only when no
other CPU has one, and otherwise fall through to the IPI, which
invalidates those CPUs properly. A CPU that merely ran the mm in the
past also holds a context and now costs an IPI, which errs in the safe
direction.
Change ipi_flush_tlb_mm(), ipi_flush_icache_page() and the migration
callback ipi_flush_mm_and_page() to test current->mm, like
ipi_flush_tlb_page(). A CPU that only retains the mm lazily then clears
its own slot through flush_tlb_other(), rather than publishing a new ASN
on every IPI or migration rendezvous. The migration callback still does
its per-VA tbi() afterwards. Returning to the mm allocates a fresh ASN
through ev5_switch_mm(), or through the direct-load path when
kthread_use_mm() switches current's mm.
Once these historical slots are gone, the shortcut is available again
if mm_users remains at most one and no other CPU has taken or kept a
context. An explicit kthread_use_mm() borrower has current->mm set and
still receives the invalidate it needs.
The caller-side tests in flush_tlb_mm() and flush_icache_user_page()
remain current->active_mm. A kernel thread that flushes its lazily held
mm can therefore publish its own context slot. Those branches also
perform the shortcut check, which excludes the calling CPU's slot, so
leave them unchanged. This is distinct from a remote lazy CPU keeping
its slot populated through repeated callbacks.
Together with the preceding patch, dropping these clearing loops leaves
every runtime write to mm->context[] targeting the writing CPU's own slot,
so the array becomes a lockless publication of which CPUs may be using the
mm, with a single writer per slot. Mark the two stores that are now
observed from other CPUs; flush_tlb_other() already uses WRITE_ONCE().
The uniprocessor flush_icache_user_page() is left alone, as nothing reads
another CPU's slot there, and init_new_context() runs before the mm is
shared.
Order the slot reads after the page-table changes with smp_mb(). On the
publishing CPU, the store in ev5_switch_mm() precedes the mb() in Alpha's
arch_spin_unlock(), when finish_lock_switch() drops the rq lock. This
relies on Alpha's unlock implementation, not a generic scheduler promise
of a full barrier on unlock; document that reliance at the store. Also
issue smp_mb() after publishing in __load_new_mm_context(), before loading
and using the mm.
This covers every caller, including check_mmu_context(), which can
publish a replacement after finish_lock_switch() has already run.
This requires the preceding removal of remote slot clearing from
migrate_flush_tlb_page(). It also requires the stale-TLB series to set
need_new_asn on both the reused and newly allocated ASN paths. Otherwise
an IPI between finish_lock_switch() and check_mmu_context() can zero a
new slot while asn_lock is set, and the task can return to user space
with a live ASN that the shortcut cannot see.

The uniprocessor flush_tlb_page() in asm/tlbflush.h has the same wrong
test as the SMP one: a targeted tbi() is only guaranteed to invalidate
the intended translations when the target mm's context is loaded, but
the gate is current->active_mm, which a lazily borrowed mm also
satisfies.
Test current->mm instead. The else branch it falls to already exists
here, so unlike the SMP side this is the whole fix.
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c is not built with CONFIG_SMP=n, so this is how
the same defect reaches a uniprocessor, where the flusher kworker
necessarily shares the only CPU with the writer.

check_mmu_context() clears asn_lock and acts on need_new_asn, but it
runs only as the tail of switch_to(), after alpha_switch_to() returns.
A newly forked user task never gets there: its first context switch
resumes at ret_from_fork and reaches schedule_tail() without returning
to the code following alpha_switch_to().
asn_lock is left set on that CPU, so the new user task can run with
interrupts enabled while shootdown IPIs keep taking the deferred path.
The handshake meant to complete those invalidations never runs.
New kernel threads also reach schedule_tail(), but context_switch()
does not call switch_mm() for a task without an mm. They therefore do
not set asn_lock in the first place and are not affected by this bug.
Move check_mmu_context() to finish_arch_post_lock_switch(), which is
called by finish_task_switch() for both existing and newly created tasks.
Drop the now redundant call from switch_to().
The hook runs after finish_lock_switch() releases the rq lock and enables
interrupts. An IPI arriving before asn_lock is cleared retires the slot
through flush_tlb_other(); an IPI arriving afterwards can flush directly,
since PAL_swpctx has already installed the incoming context.
Set need_new_asn whether ev5_switch_mm() reuses or allocates an ASN. An
IPI in that interval can zero either slot. Without this, the allocated
case can return to user space with a live ASN but a zero context slot,
which a later context-based shootdown shortcut could mistake for an
inactive CPU. check_mmu_context() reloads only when the slot is zero.
Call the hook unconditionally. Alpha selects ARCH_NO_PREEMPT, and neither
kthread_use_mm() nor sched_force_init_mm() sleeps between the direct
switch and this hook. RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD can enable PREEMPT_COUNT,
but cannot make those callers migrate there. Testing preemptible() would
only leave asn_lock set in that configuration.
This requires the preceding direct-switch fix, "alpha: load the MMU
context when switch_mm() switches the current task". It installs the
borrowed context before kthread_use_mm() reaches this hook, so clearing
asn_lock cannot expose a targeted invalidate against the wrong context.

ev5_switch_mm() only prepares the incoming PCB. The context is installed
by PAL_swpctx, which alpha_switch_to() issues against that PCB on the way
out of the scheduler.
Direct callers reach switch_mm() without going through alpha_switch_to():
kthread_use_mm(), which borrows an mm for the current kernel thread,
sched_force_init_mm() on the CPU-hotplug teardown path, and
do_shoot_lazy_tlb(), which switches to init_mm from an IPI. None explicitly
loads the context, so the task can carry on running under whatever was
loaded before. For kthread_use_mm(), current->mm then names the borrowed
mm even though its context has not been loaded. The other two callers
change active_mm while leaving current->mm NULL.
The stale page-table root need not be swapper_pg_dir; it may belong to a
user process that ran on the CPU earlier, and the kthread's user accesses
can then read and write that process's memory wherever the stale mappings
allow. Translations taken that way can also end up tagged with the
borrowed mm's ASN: ev5_switch_mm() writes that ASN into the PCB, which the
next PAL_swpctx installs against the stale ptbr. An address the stale
tables do not map faults instead, and since do_page_fault() resolves
faults against current->mm without reloading the context, the same access
can fault again on return.
sched_force_init_mm() needs CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and do_shoot_lazy_tlb()
needs CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN. Alpha selects neither, so only
kthread_use_mm() is reachable in practice. Test the caller's identity
rather than special-casing individual callers.
The scheduler passes the incoming task, which is not current until
alpha_switch_to() runs; all three direct callers pass current. Test for
that and load the context the way activate_mm() does. All three run with
interrupts disabled across the switch, so this completes before any
shootdown can be taken and needs no asn_lock handshake.

Alpha has no leaf entry above the last page table level, so the only
huge pages it can offer are granularity hint blocks: 64KB, 512KB and 4MB
with 8KB pages. Register all three as hstates, with 4MB as the default.
There is no PMD sized huge page, hence no transparent huge pages, no PMD
page table sharing and no gigantic pages.
As with arm64's contiguous PTEs, each PTE of a block keeps the frame
number of its own page, so a block is written with set_ptes(). Each
hstate's buddy order is its hint order, so a hugetlb folio is always
naturally aligned physically, as the hint requires, including after a
demote.
All PTEs of a block must agree in bits <15:0> (note 2 of Table 22-3 of
the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual), and both __ACCESS_BITS and
__DIRTY_BITS reach into that range, so every update rewrites the whole
block and huge_ptep_get() merges the young and dirty state back
together. Rewriting a valid block in place would leave its PTEs
disagreeing part way through, so changes to a valid block go through
break before make, following the procedure in section 11.6.1.
The hint is advisory, so this is safe on implementations that ignore it,
and gup_fast needs no changes since it walks the individual PTEs.
Enabling CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE derives pageblock_order from
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER, which lowers it from 10 to 9 and so halves the
anti-fragmentation and compaction granularity from 8MB to 4MB.
Hugepage migration is left disabled, since it has not been tested.

Bits <6:5> of the Alpha PTE are the granularity hint, described in Table
22-3 of the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual. A hint of N marks the
PTE as one of a block of 8^N physically contiguous, naturally aligned
pages that the translation buffer may map with a single entry. With 8KB
pages that gives 64KB, 512KB and 4MB blocks.
Define the field and the helpers to encode and decode it. Nothing sets a
non-zero hint yet.
Add the hint to _PAGE_CHG_MASK so that pte_modify() preserves it. Swap
PTEs leave bits <31:0> clear, so pte_huge() is false on swap, migration
and marker entries, and page table entries above the last level keep a
zero hint where pmd_bad() would reject anything else.

The comments on _PAGE_KRE and _PAGE_URE said only "xxx". Describe the
four enable bits as the Alpha Linux PTE defines them, in Table 22-3 of
the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual: kernel and user read enable in
bits 8 and 9, kernel and user write enable in bits 12 and 13, with bits
<11:10> and <15:14> reserved. There are only two processor modes, user
and kernel (section 22.5.1). Linux uses the read enables as its accessed
bit and the write enables as its dirty bit, so say which of
__ACCESS_BITS and __DIRTY_BITS each one belongs to.
The names differ from what the hardware calls those bits on the 21264.
Its PALcode loads the PTE unchanged into DTB_PTE (21264/EV67 Hardware
Reference Manual, section 6.9), where bits 9 and 13 are the Executive
read and write enables (Figure 5-27), Executive being mode 1 of the four
the processor implements (Table 5-5). That is a detail below the PALcode
interface, and it is also the layout of the OpenVMS PTE in Table 11-2,
which is not the one Linux uses.
No functional change.

Alpha's CONFIG_COMPACTION-gated ptep_get_and_clear() overrides the
generic version in include/linux/pgtable.h but omits its
page_table_check_pte_clear() call. With CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y the
map count taken by set_ptes() is therefore never dropped when a PTE is
cleared through this path. zap_pte_range() clears PTEs this way, so the
first page freed after it hits the BUG_ON() in
__page_table_check_zero().
The call was instead placed in ptep_clear_flush() by commit dd5712f3379c
("alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compaction"), where it
was harmless until alpha enabled page table check.
