Update Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.rst to reflect the changes made
by the mm/munlock series: keeping an mlock_count instead of page_mlock()
(formerly try_to_munlock()) and munlock_vma_pages_all() etc. Also make
other little updates or cleanups wherever noticed.
But, I apologize, this is already out of date, in that "folio" appears
nowhere: 5.18 will be in a transitional state from "page" to "folio",
and documenting its current mix of the two does not help to understand
"the Unevictable LRU". Should be revisited when naming is more settled.

When viewing page owner information, we may want to cull blocks of
information with our own rules. So it is important to enhance culling
function to provide the support for customizing culling rules.
Therefore, following adjustments are made:
1. Add --cull option to support the culling of blocks of information
with user-defined culling rules.
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=<rules>
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull <rules>
<rules> is a single argument in the form of a comma-separated list to
specify individual culling rules, by the sequence of keys k1,k2, ....
Mixed use of abbreviated and complete-form of keys is allowed.
For reference, please see the document(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).
Now, assuming two blocks in the input file are as follows:
Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 1, tgid 1 (task_name_demo)
PFN xxxx
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 32, tgid 32 (task_name_demo)
PFN xxxx
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
If we want to cull the blocks by stacktrace and task command name, we can
use this command:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name
The output would be like:
2 times, 2 pages, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
As we can see, these two blocks are culled successfully, for they share
the same pid and task command name.
However, if we want to cull the blocks by pid, stacktrace and task command
name, we can this command:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name,pid
The output would be like:
1 times, 1 pages, PID 1, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
1 times, 1 pages, PID 32, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
As we can see, these two blocks are failed to cull, for their PIDs are
different.
2. Add explanations of --cull options to the document.

When viewing page owner information, we may also need to select the blocks
by PID, TGID or task command name, which helps to get more accurate page
allocation information as needed.
Therefore, following adjustments are made:
1. Add three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to support
the selection of information blocks by a specific pid, tgid and task
command name. In addtion, multiple options are allowed to be used at
the same time.
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --pid <PID>
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid <TGID>
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --name <TASK_COMMAND_NAME>
Assuming a scenario when a multi-threaded program, ./demo (PID =
5280), is running, and ./demo creates a child process (PID = 5281).
$ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
5215 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
5280 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo
5281 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo
5282 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
It would be better to filter out the records with tgid=5280 and the
task name "demo" when debugging the parent process, and the specific
usage is
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid 5280 --name demo
2. Add explanations of three new options, including --pid, --tgid and
--name, to the document.

As a result, the following adjustments have been made:
1. Add a new -P option to sort the information of blocks by TGID in
ascending order.
2. Adjust the order of member variables in block_list strust to avoid
one 4 byte hole.
3. Add -P option explanation in the document.

In DAMON's early development stage before it be merged in the mainline, it
was first designed to work exclusively with Idle page tracking to avoid
any interference between each other. Later, but still before be merged in
the mainline, because Idle page tracking is fully under the control of
sysadmins, we made the resolving of conflict as the responsibility of
sysadmins. The document is not updated for the change, though. This
commit updates the document for that.

Patch series "Docs/damon: Update documents for better consistency".
Some of DAMON document are not properly updated for latest version. This
patchset updates such parts.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON code calls the low level monitoring primitives implementations the
monitoring operations. The documentation would have no problem at still
calling those primitives implementation because there is no real
difference in the concepts, but making it more consistent with the code
would make it better. This commit therefore convert sentences in the doc
specifically pointing the implementations of the primitives to call it
monitoring operations.

There are some words that need to be fixed.
Thanks for Shuah Khan's constructive suggestions.
The text has been fixed as follows.
a. So, if you'd like to use it, you need
to add "page_owner=on" into your boot cmdline.
Here, "into" has been replaced with "to".
b. ...page owner is disabled in runtime due to no
enabling, boot option, runtime overhead is marginal.
Here, "no" has been replaced with "not".

Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".
Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap. This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.
This patch (of 13):
The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dc ("xen: remove tmem driver").

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.
Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.
When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping
We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages.
Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

Add a new document to explain Virtually Mapped Kernel Stack Support.
This is a compilation of information from the code and original patch
series that introduced the Virtually Mapped Kernel Stacks feature.
This document summarizes the feature and provides details on allocation,
free, and stack overflow handling. Provides reference to available
tests.

Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting.rst says that the overcommit
amount can be set via vm.overcommit_ratio and vm.overcommit_kbytes.
Add a clarification that those only take effect in overcommit handling
mode 2 ("Don't overcommit"), i.e. they do not act as an "additional"
limit that is always enforced.

MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED is used to indicate to migrate_vma_prepare() that a
source page was already locked during migrate_vma_collect(). If it
wasn't then the a second attempt is made to lock the page. However if
the first attempt failed it's unlikely a second attempt will succeed,
and the retry adds complexity. So clean this up by removing the retry
and MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag.
Destination pages are also meant to have the MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag
set, but nothing actually checks that.

When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the
total memory rather than the times of stack appears. Therefore, the
following adjustments are made:
1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages.
2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by
memory (total pages).
The general output of page_owner is as follows:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
PFN XXX ...
// Detailed stack
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
PFN XXX ...
// Detailed stack
The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows
in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the
times. General output:
XXX times:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
// Detailed stack
Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and
count the total pages for the buf. General output:
XXX times, XXX pages:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
// Detailed stack
By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort
by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU
page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are
occurring.
In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type
(SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE). When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive
access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are
replaced with device exclusive swap entries. This causes any CPU access
to the page to result in a fault.
Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
mapping. This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses
to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access. After
notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access
to the region.
Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by
get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk. A direct page
table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also
have been utilised. However this resulted in more code similar in
functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is
required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

MMU notifier ranges have a migrate_pgmap_owner field which is used by
drivers to store a pointer. This is subsequently used by the driver
callback to filter MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE events. Other notifier event types
can also benefit from this filtering, so rename the 'migrate_pgmap_owner'
field to 'owner' and create a new notifier initialisation function to
initialise this field.

The behaviour of try_to_unmap_one() is difficult to follow because it
performs different operations based on a fairly large set of flags used in
different combinations.
TTU_MUNLOCK is one such flag. However it is exclusively used by
try_to_munlock() which specifies no other flags. Therefore rather than
overload try_to_unmap_one() with unrelated behaviour split this out into
it's own function and remove the flag.

Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.
This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it. :)
This patch (of 3):
Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped. Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.
Before:
BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten
...
Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........

Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory
analysis with kdump/ramdump. Add the timestamp also in the page_owner
debugfs file and print it in dump_page().
Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging page
migration issues. For example both alloc and free timestamps being the
same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating memory, as
opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.

Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Some minor updates", v3.
This series contains some cleanups and new test suggestions from Catalin
from an earlier discussion.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201123142237.GF17833@gaia/
This patch (of 2):
This adds validation tests for dirtiness after write protect conversion
for each page table level. There are two new separate test types involved
here.
The first test ensures that a given page table entry does not become dirty
after pxx_wrprotect(). This is important for platforms like arm64 which
transfers and drops the hardware dirty bit (!PTE_RDONLY) to the software
dirty bit while making it an write protected one. This test ensures that
no fresh page table entry could be created with hardware dirty bit set.
The second test ensures that a given page table entry always preserve the
dirty information across pxx_wrprotect().
This adds two previously missing PUD level basic tests and while here
fixes pxx_wrprotect() related typos in the documentation file.
