Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.
I never knew the MM code was so dirty.
"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.
"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.
"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.
"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.
"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.
"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.
"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.
"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.
"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().
"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

This adds support for allowing proactive reclaim in general on a NUMA
system. A per-node interface extends support for beyond a memcg-specific
interface, respecting the current semantics of memory.reclaim: respecting
aging LRU and not supporting artificially triggering eviction on nodes
belonging to non-bottom tiers.
This patch allows userspace to do:
echo "512M swappiness=10" > /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim
One of the premises for this is to semantically align as best as possible
with memory.reclaim. During a brief time memcg did support nodemask until
55ab834a86a9 (Revert "mm: add nodes= arg to memory.reclaim"), for which
semantics around reclaim (eviction) vs demotion were not clear, rendering
charging expectations to be broken.
With this approach:
1. Users who do not use memcg can benefit from proactive reclaim. The
memcg interface is not NUMA aware and there are usecases that are
focusing on NUMA balancing rather than workload memory footprint.
2. Proactive reclaim on top tiers will trigger demotion, for which
memory is still byte-addressable. Reclaiming on the bottom nodes will
trigger evicting to swap (the traditional sense of reclaim). This
follows the semantics of what is today part of the aging process on
tiered memory, mirroring what every other form of reclaim does
(reactive and memcg proactive reclaim). Furthermore per-node proactive
reclaim is not as susceptible to the memcg charging problem mentioned
above.
3. Unlike the nodes= arg, this interface avoids confusing semantics,
such as what exactly the user wants when mixing top-tier and low-tier
nodes in the nodemask. Further per-node interface is less exposed to
"free up memory in my container" usecases, where eviction is intended.
4. Users that *really* want to free up memory can use proactive
reclaim on nodes knowingly to be on the bottom tiers to force eviction
in a natural way - higher access latencies are still better than swap.
If compelled, while no guarantees and perhaps not worth the effort,
users could also also potentially follow a ladder-like approach to
eventually free up the memory. Alternatively, perhaps an 'evict'
option could be added to the parameters for both memory.reclaim and
per-node interfaces to force this action unconditionally.

The only user of the counter (FUSE) was removed in commit 0c58a97f919c
("fuse: remove tmp folio for writebacks and internal rb tree") so follow
the established pattern of removing the counter and hardcoding 0 in
meminfo output, as done recently with NR_BOUNCE. Update documentation for
procfs, including for the value for Bounce that was missed when removing
its counter.
Also remove the mention of NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP implications from a comment
in wb_position_ratio(). The rest of the comment there about fuse setting
bdi->max_ratio to 1% is still correct.

There are at least six consumers of hotplug_memory_notifier that what they
really are interested in is whether any numa node changed its state, e.g:
going from having memory to not having memory and vice versa.
Implement a specific notifier for numa nodes when their state gets
changed, which will later be used by those consumers that are only
interested in numa node state changes.
Add documentation as well.

context argument
The function register_memory_blocks_under_node() is now only called from
the memory hotplug path, as register_memory_blocks_under_node_early()
handles registration during early boot. Therefore, the context argument
used to differentiate between early boot and hotplug is no longer needed
and was removed.
Since the function is only called from the hotplug path, we renamed
register_memory_blocks_under_node() to
register_memory_blocks_under_node_hotplug()

Patch series "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups", v7.
This patch (of 7)
During node device initialization, `memory blocks` are registered under
each NUMA node. The `memory blocks` to be registered are identified using
the node's start and end PFNs, which are obtained from the node's pg_data
However, not all PFNs within this range necessarily belong to the same
node—some may belong to other nodes. Additionally, due to the
discontiguous nature of physical memory, certain sections within a `memory
block` may be absent.
As a result, `memory blocks` that fall between a node's start and end PFNs
may span across multiple nodes, and some sections within those blocks may
be missing. `Memory blocks` have a fixed size, which is architecture
dependent.
Due to these considerations, the memory block registration is currently
performed as follows:
for_each_online_node(nid):
start_pfn = pgdat->node_start_pfn;
end_pfn = pgdat->node_start_pfn + node_spanned_pages;
for_each_memory_block_between(PFN_PHYS(start_pfn), PFN_PHYS(end_pfn))
mem_blk = memory_block_id(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn));
pfn_mb_start=section_nr_to_pfn(mem_blk->start_section_nr)
pfn_mb_end = pfn_start + memory_block_pfns - 1
for (pfn = pfn_mb_start; pfn < pfn_mb_end; pfn++):
if (get_nid_for_pfn(pfn) != nid):
continue;
else
do_register_memory_block_under_node(nid, mem_blk,
MEMINIT_EARLY);
Here, we derive the start and end PFNs from the node's pg_data, then
determine the memory blocks that may belong to the node. For each `memory
block` in this range, we inspect all PFNs it contains and check their
associated NUMA node ID. If a PFN within the block matches the current
node, the memory block is registered under that node.
If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, get_nid_for_pfn() performs
a binary search in the `memblock regions` to determine the NUMA node ID
for a given PFN. If it is not enabled, the node ID is retrieved directly
from the struct page.
On large systems, this process can become time-consuming, especially since
we iterate over each `memory block` and all PFNs within it until a match
is found. When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, the
additional overhead of the binary search increases the execution time
significantly, potentially leading to soft lockups during boot.
In this patch, we iterate over `memblock region` to identify the `memory
blocks` that belong to the current NUMA node. `memblock regions` are
contiguous memory ranges, each associated with a single NUMA node, and
they do not span across multiple nodes.
for_each_memory_region(r): // r => region
if (!node_online(r->nid)):
continue;
else
for_each_memory_block_between(r->base, r->base + r->size - 1):
do_register_memory_block_under_node(r->nid, mem_blk, MEMINIT_EARLY);
We iterate over all memblock regions, and if the node associated with the
region is online, we calculate the start and end memory blocks based on
the region's start and end PFNs. We then register all the memory blocks
within that range under the region node.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from

On machines with multiple memory nodes, interleaving page allocations
across nodes allows for better utilization of each node's bandwidth.
Previous work by Gregory Price [1] introduced weighted interleave, which
allowed for pages to be allocated across nodes according to user-set
ratios.
Ideally, these weights should be proportional to their bandwidth, so that
under bandwidth pressure, each node uses its maximal efficient bandwidth
and prevents latency from increasing exponentially.
Previously, weighted interleave's default weights were just 1s -- which
would be equivalent to the (unweighted) interleave mempolicy, which goes
through the nodes in a round-robin fashion, ignoring bandwidth
information.
This patch has two main goals: First, it makes weighted interleave easier
to use for users who wish to relieve bandwidth pressure when using nodes
with varying bandwidth (CXL). By providing a set of "real" default
weights that just work out of the box, users who might not have the
capability (or wish to) perform experimentation to find the most optimal
weights for their system can still take advantage of bandwidth-informed
weighted interleave.
Second, it allows for weighted interleave to dynamically adjust to
hotplugged memory with new bandwidth information. Instead of manually
updating node weights every time new bandwidth information is reported or
taken off, weighted interleave adjusts and provides a new set of default
weights for weighted interleave to use when there is a change in bandwidth
information.
To meet these goals, this patch introduces an auto-configuration mode for
the interleave weights that provides a reasonable set of default weights,
calculated using bandwidth data reported by the system. In auto mode,
weights are dynamically adjusted based on whatever the current bandwidth
information reports (and responds to hotplug events).
This patch still supports users manually writing weights into the nodeN
sysfs interface by entering into manual mode. When a user enters manual
mode, the system stops dynamically updating any of the node weights, even
during hotplug events that shift the optimal weight distribution.
A new sysfs interface "auto" is introduced, which allows users to switch
between the auto (writing 1 or Y) and manual (writing 0 or N) modes. The
system also automatically enters manual mode when a nodeN interface is
manually written to.
There is one functional change that this patch makes to the existing
weighted_interleave ABI: previously, writing 0 directly to a nodeN
interface was said to reset the weight to the system default. Before this
patch, the default for all weights were 1, which meant that writing 0 and
1 were functionally equivalent. With this patch, writing 0 is invalid.

For the numa nodes that are not created by SRAT, no memory_target is
allocated and is not managed by the HMAT_REPORTING code. Therefore
hmat_callback() memory hotplug notifier will exit early on those NUMA
nodes. The CXL memory hotplug notifier will need to call
node_set_perf_attrs() directly in order to setup the access sysfs
attributes.
In acpi_numa_init(), the last proximity domain (pxm) id created by SRAT is
stored. Add a helper function acpi_node_backed_by_real_pxm() in order to
check if a NUMA node id is defined by SRAT or created by CFMWS.
node_set_perf_attrs() symbol is exported to allow update of perf attribs
for a node. The sysfs path of
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/initiators/* is created by
node_set_perf_attrs() for the various attributes where nodeX is matched
to the NUMA node of the CXL region.

Both generic node and HMAT handling code have been using magic numbers to
indicate access classes for 'struct access_coordinate'. Introduce enums to
enumerate the access0 and access1 classes shared by the two subsystems.
Update the function parameters and callers as appropriate to utilize the
new enum.
Access0 is named to ACCESS_COORDINATE_LOCAL in order to indicate that the
access class is for 'struct access_coordinate' between a target node and
the nearest initiator node.
Access1 is named to ACCESS_COORDINATE_CPU in order to indicate that the
access class is for 'struct access_coordinate' between a target node and
the nearest CPU node.

Pull CXL (Compute Express Link) updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this update is support for enumerating the performance
capabilities of CXL memory targets and connecting that to a platform
CXL memory QoS class. Some follow-on work remains to hook up this data
into core-mm policy, but that is saved for v6.9.
The next significant update is unifying how CXL event records (things
like background scrub errors) are processed between so called
"firmware first" and native error record retrieval. The CXL driver
handler that processes the record retrieved from the device mailbox is
now the handler for that same record format coming from an EFI/ACPI
notification source.
This also contains miscellaneous feature updates, like Get Timestamp,
and other fixups.
Summary:
- Add support for parsing the Coherent Device Attribute Table (CDAT)
- Add support for calculating a platform CXL QoS class from CDAT data
- Unify the tracing of EFI CXL Events with native CXL Events.
- Add Get Timestamp support
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixups"

Dan Williams suggested changing the struct 'node_hmem_attrs' to
'access_coordinates' [1]. The struct is a container of r/w-latency and
r/w-bandwidth numbers. Moving forward, this container will also be used by
CXL to store the performance characteristics of each link hop in
the PCIE/CXL topology. So, where node_hmem_attrs is just the access
parameters of a memory-node, access_coordinates applies more broadly
to hardware topology characteristics. The observation is that seemed like
an exercise in having the application identify "where" it falls on a
spectrum of bandwidth and latency needs. For the tuple of
read/write-latency and read/write-bandwidth, "coordinates" is not a perfect
fit. Sometimes it is just conveying values in isolation and not a
"location" relative to other performance points, but in the end this data
is used to identify the performance operation point of a given memory-node.

The current code registers the node as available in the node array
before initializing the accessor list. This makes it so that
anything which might access the accessor list as a result of
allocations will cause an undefined memory access.
In one example, an extension to access hmat data during interleave
caused this undefined access as a result of a bulk allocation
that occurs during node initialization but before the accessor
list is initialized.
Initialize the accessor list before making the node generally
available to the global system.
