powerpc/64s/ptdump: Fix kernel_hash_pagetable dump for ISA v3.00 HPTE format

2025-12-18T12:59:46Z

[ Upstream commit eae40a6da63faa9fb63ff61f8fa2b3b57da78a84 ] HPTE format was changed since Power9 (ISA 3.0) onwards. While dumping kernel hash page tables, nothing gets printed on powernv P9+. This patch utilizes the helpers added in the patch tagged as fixes, to convert new format to old format and dump the hptes. This fix is only needed for native_find() (powernv), since pseries continues to work fine with the old format.

powerpc/64s/hash: Restrict stress_hpt_struct memblock region to within RMA limit

2025-12-18T12:59:45Z

[ Upstream commit 17b45ccf09882e0c808ad2cf62acdc90ad968746 ] When HV=0 & IR/DR=0, the Hash MMU is said to be in Virtual Real Addressing Mode during early boot. During this, we should ensure that memory region allocations for stress_hpt_struct should happen from within RMA region as otherwise the boot might get stuck while doing memset of this region. History behind why do we have RMA region limitation is better explained in these 2 patches [1] & [2]. This patch ensures that memset to stress_hpt_struct during early boot does not cross ppc64_rma_size boundary.

powerpc/32: Remove PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT to fix startup failure

2025-10-29T13:10:17Z

[ Upstream commit 9316512b717f6f25c4649b3fdb0a905b6a318e9f ] PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is an old macro that is used to tell kernel whether kernel text has to be mapped read-only or read-write based on build time options. But nowadays, with functionnalities like jump_labels, static links, etc ... more only less all kernels need to be read-write at some point, and some combinations of configs failed to work due to innacurate setting of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. On the other hand, today we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which implements a more controlled access to kernel modifications. Instead of trying to keep PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT accurate with all possible options that may imply kernel text modification, always set kernel text read-write at startup and rely on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to provide accurate protection. Do this by passing PAGE_KERNEL_X to map_kernel_page() in __maping_ram_chunk() instead of passing PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. Once this is done, the only remaining user of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is mmu_mark_initmem_nx() which uses it in a call to setibat(). As setibat() ignores the RW/RO, we can seamlessly replace PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT by PAGE_KERNEL_X here as well and get rid of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT completely.

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.

Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line option

2025-07-20T02:08:22Z

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5. This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory using CMA. Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st (production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented. By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image, minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap. Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used. There are five patches in this series: The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to store the cma reservation size. The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range, multiple smaller ranges will be reserved. The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory. The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel, allowing pending DMA transfers to finish. The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do: - call reserve_crashkernel_cma() - include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map - exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo PT_LOAD ranges. Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this series is merged. With this series applied, specifying crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd. An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd. The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before. This patch (of 5): Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call __parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from "crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size. Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

mm: change vm_get_page_prot() to accept vm_flags_t argument

2025-07-10T05:42:13Z

Patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently". The VMA flags field vma->vm_flags is of type vm_flags_t. Right now this is exactly equivalent to unsigned long, but it should not be assumed to be. Much code that references vma->vm_flags already correctly uses vm_flags_t, but a fairly large chunk of code simply uses unsigned long and assumes that the two are equivalent. This series corrects that and has us use vm_flags_t consistently. This series is motivated by the desire to, in a future series, adjust vm_flags_t to be a u64 regardless of whether the kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit in order to deal with the VMA flag exhaustion issue and avoid all the various problems that arise from it (being unable to use certain features in 32-bit, being unable to add new flags except for 64-bit, etc.) This is therefore a critical first step towards that goal. At any rate, using the correct type is of value regardless. We additionally take the opportunity to refer to VMA flags as vm_flags where possible to make clear what we're referring to. Overall, this series does not introduce any functional change. This patch (of 3): We abstract the type of the VMA flags to vm_flags_t, however in may places it is simply assumed this is unsigned long, which is simply incorrect. At the moment this is simply an incongruity, however in future we plan to change this type and therefore this change is a critical requirement for doing so. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.
