commit ea3f8272876f2958463992f6736ab690fde7fa9c upstream.

In commit 8d7071af8907 ("mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write
lock held") I tried to deal with the remaining odd page fault handling
cases.  The oddest one is ia64, which has stacks that grow both up and
down.  And because ia64 was _so_ odd, I asked people to verify the end
result.

But a close second oddity is parisc, which is the only one that has a
main stack growing up (our "CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP" config option).  But
it looked obvious enough that I didn't worry about it.

I should have worried a bit more.  Not because it was particularly
complex, but because I just used the wrong variable name.

The previous vma isn't called "prev", it's called "prev_vma".  Blush.

<id>urn:sha1:5f50096f0a7e2eb4f0ab3eff781e594308e89f80</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8d7071af890768438c14db6172cc8f9f4d04e184 upstream.

This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.

For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks.  Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.

It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma.  This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.

As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid.  So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

parisc equivalent of 26178ec11ef3 "x86: mm: consolidate VM_FAULT_RETRY handling"
If e.g. get_user() triggers a page fault and a fatal signal is caught, we might
end up with handle_mm_fault() returning VM_FAULT_RETRY and not doing anything
to page tables.  In such case we must *not* return to the faulting insn -
that would repeat the entire thing without making any progress; what we need
instead is to treat that as failed (user) memory access.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports
standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT,
which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array.  Subsequently
all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

<title>mm: avoid unnecessary page fault retires on shared memory types</title>
<updated>2022-06-17T02:48:27Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d92725256b4f22d084b813b37ddc394da79aacab'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d92725256b4f22d084b813b37ddc394da79aacab</id>
<content type='text'>
I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page.  It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).

Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.

However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.

It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.

To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.

To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock.  It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.

This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:

  Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
  After:  569.396 ms (+-1.38%)

I believe it could help more than that.

We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.

Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.

I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

<title>parisc: Disable debug code regarding cache flushes in handle_nadtlb_fault()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:67c35a3b646cc68598ff0bb28de5f8bd7b2e81b3</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the "BUG" to "WARNING" and disable the message because it triggers
occasionally in spite of the check in flush_cache_page_if_present.

The pte value extracted for the "from" page in copy_user_highpage is racy and
occasionally the pte is cleared before the flush is complete.  I assume that
the page is simultaneously flushed by flush_cache_mm before the pte is cleared
as nullifying the fdc doesn't seem to cause problems.

I investigated various locking scenarios but I wasn't able to find a way to
sequence the flushes.  This code is called for every COW break and locks impact
performance.

This patch is related to the bigger cache flush patch because we need the pte
on PA8800/PA8900 to flush using the vma context.
I have also seen this from copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page.

The messages appear infrequently when enabled.
