commit 96e0b355883006554a0bee3697da475971d6bba8 upstream.

arm/memremap: fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap()

commit 260364d112bc ("arm[64]/memremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to ensure
presence of linear map") added the definition of
arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() for arm[64] specific filtering of what pages
can be used from the linear mapping. memblock_is_map_memory() was called
with the pfn of the address given to arch_memremap_can_ram_remap();
however, memblock_is_map_memory() expects to be given an address for arm,
not a pfn.

This results in calls to memremap() returning a newly mapped area when
it should return an address in the existing linear mapping.

Fix this by removing the address to pfn translation and pass the
address directly.

Fixes: 260364d112bc ("arm[64]/memremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to ensure presence of linear map")

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Consolidate the VDSO storage

   The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
   specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
   effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.

   There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
   and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
   integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
   duplicated code for managing the mappings.

   Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
   infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
   specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
   provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
   functionalities without conflict and interaction.

 - Rework the timekeeping data storage

   The current implementation is designed for exposing system
   timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
   designed.

   PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
   requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
   to system timekeeping.

   Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
   allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
   both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup

  hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
  the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
  upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
  begin with.

  This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T-&gt;function = cb; sequence
  with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);

  The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.

  Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
  will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member"

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy
allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to
memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and
after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on
many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all().

Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on
relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is
released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code
duplication in architecture specific code.

<title>arch, mm: introduce arch_mm_preinit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d98484ee3330c35d1dc0da0be0871b3596cbe0d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, implementation of mem_init() in every architecture consists of
one or more of the following:

* initializations that must run before page allocator is active, for
  instance swiotlb_init()
* a call to memblock_free_all() to release all the memory to the buddy
  allocator
* initializations that must run after page allocator is ready and there is
  no arch-specific hook other than mem_init() for that, like for example
  register_page_bootmem_info() in x86 and sparc64 or simple setting of
  mem_init_done = 1 in several architectures
* a bunch of semi-related stuff that apparently had no better place to
  live, for example a ton of BUILD_BUG_ON()s in parisc.

Introduce arch_mm_preinit() that will be the first thing called from
mm_core_init(). On architectures that have initializations that must happen
before the page allocator is ready, move those into arch_mm_preinit() along
with the code that does not depend on ordering with page allocator setup.

On several architectures this results in reduction of mem_init() to a
single call to memblock_free_all() that allows its consolidation next.

<title>arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing</title>

<content type='text'>
All architectures that support HIGHMEM have their code that frees high
memory pages to the buddy allocator while __free_memory_core() is limited
to freeing only low memory.

There is no actual reason for that.  The memory map is completely ready by
the time memblock_free_all() is called and high pages can be released to
the buddy allocator along with low memory.

Remove low memory limit from __free_memory_core() and drop per-architecture
code that frees high memory pages.

<title>arch, mm: set max_mapnr when allocating memory map for FLATMEM</title>

<content type='text'>
max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().

Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().

While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

<title>arm: mem_init: use memblock_phys_free() to free DMA memory on SA1111</title>

Patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()", v2.

Every architecture has implementation of mem_init() function and some even
more than one.  All these release free memory to the buddy allocator, most
of them set high_memory to the end of directly addressable memory and many
of them set max_mapnr for FLATMEM case.

These patches pull the commonalities into the generic code and refactor
some of the mem_init() implementations so that many of them can be just
dropped.


This patch (of 13):

This will help to pull out memblock_free_all() to generic code.
