commit 618a8a917dbf5830e2064d2fa0568940eb5d2584 upstream.
When freeable class stat was added to classes file (back in 2016) we
forgot to update zsmalloc documentation. Fix that.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

The kernel size changes due to many factors, such as compiler
version, configuration, and the build environment. This makes
size comparison figures irrelevant to reader's setup.
Remove these figures and describe the effects of page owner
to the kernel size in general instead.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab fixes from Vlastimil Babka:
- The "common kmalloc v4" series [1] by Hyeonggon Yoo.
While the plan after LPC is to try again if it's possible to get rid
of SLOB and SLAB (and if any critical aspect of those is not possible
to achieve with SLUB today, modify it accordingly), it will take a
while even in case there are no objections.
Meanwhile this is a nice cleanup and some parts (e.g. to the
tracepoints) will be useful even if we end up with a single slab
implementation in the future:
- Improves the mm/slab_common.c wrappers to allow deleting
duplicated code between SLAB and SLUB.
- Large kmalloc() allocations in SLAB are passed to page allocator
like in SLUB, reducing number of kmalloc caches.
- Removes the {kmem_cache_alloc,kmalloc}_node variants of
tracepoints, node id parameter added to non-_node variants.
- Addition of kmalloc_size_roundup()
The first two patches from a series by Kees Cook [2] that introduce
kmalloc_size_roundup(). This will allow merging of per-subsystem
patches using the new function and ultimately stop (ab)using ksize()
in a way that causes ongoing trouble for debugging functionality and
static checkers.
- Wasted kmalloc() memory tracking in debugfs alloc_traces
A patch from Feng Tang that enhances the existing debugfs
alloc_traces file for kmalloc caches with information about how much
space is wasted by allocations that needs less space than the
particular kmalloc cache provides.
- My series [3] to fix validation races for caches with enabled
debugging:
- By decoupling the debug cache operation more from non-debug
fastpaths, extra locking simplifications were possible and thus
done afterwards.
- Additional cleanup of PREEMPT_RT specific code on top, by Thomas
Gleixner.
- A late fix for slab page leaks caused by the series, by Feng
Tang.
- Smaller fixes and cleanups:
- Unneeded variable removals, by ye xingchen
- A cleanup removing a BUG_ON() in create_unique_id(), by Chao Yu

kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one nature that it will
round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). Say
when user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes
could be allocated, so in worst case, there is around 50% memory
space waste.
The wastage is not a big issue for requests that get allocated/freed
quickly, but may cause problems with objects that have longer life
time.
We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab
info:
[ 26.062145] kmalloc-2k 814056KB 814056KB
From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine',
whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste
1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger)
size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a
kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it).
And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1]
back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste
situation, as the log is similar:
[ 4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16
[ 4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0
...
[ 4.857565] kmalloc-2048 59164KB 59164KB
The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here.
(Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent
kernel [2], these logs are just picked to demo the problem, also
a patch changing its size to 1024 bytes has been merged)
So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and
leverage the existing SLUB debug framework (specifically
SLUB_STORE_USER) to show its call stack of original allocation,
so that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot
spots and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory.
The waste info is integrated into existing interface:
'/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces', one example of
'kmalloc-4k' after boot is:
126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=280763/281414/282065 pid=1330 cpus=32 nodes=1
__kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x11f/0x4e0
__kmalloc_node+0x4e/0x140
ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x2ae/0xc90 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_probe+0x165f/0x1d20 [ixgbe]
local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0
work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40
...
which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of
2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each
and 233856 bytes in total), from ixgbe_alloc_q_vector().
And when system starts some real workload like multiple docker
instances, there could are more severe waste.

It is too slow to dump all the pages, in some usage we just want to dump a

To speed up and save time, this change allows specifying of a start pfn by
adding llseek for page_owner.

What happens if a thread is preempted after mapping pages with
kmap_local_page() was questioned recently.[1]
Commit f3ba3c710ac5 ("mm/highmem: Provide kmap_local*") from Thomas
Gleixner explains clearly that on context switch, the maps of an outgoing
task are removed and the map of the incoming task are restored and that
kmap_local_page() can be invoked from both preemptible and atomic
contexts.[2]
Therefore, for the purpose to make it clearer that users can call
kmap_local_page() from contexts that allow preemption, rework a couple of
sentences and add further information in highmem.rst.

The reasoning for converting kmap() to kmap_local_page() was questioned
recently.[1]
There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) kmap() also requires global TLB invalidation when
its pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized
until a slot becomes available.
Warn users to avoid the use of kmap() and instead use kmap_local_page(),
by designing their code to map pages in the same context the mapping will
be used.

Users of kmap_local_page() must be absolutely sure to not hand kernel
virtual address obtained calling kmap_local_page() on highmem pages to
other contexts because those pointers are thread local, therefore, they
are no longer valid across different contexts.
Extend the documentation of kmap_local_page() to warn users about the
above-mentioned potential invalid use of pointers returned by
kmap_local_page().

There is no need to kmap*() pages which are guaranteed to come from
ZONE_NORMAL (or lower). Linux has currently several call sites of
kmap{,_atomic,_local_page}() on pages which are clearly known which can't
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM.
Therefore, add a paragraph to highmem.rst, to explain better that a plain
page_address() may be used for getting the address of pages which cannot
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM, although it is always safe to use
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() also on those pages.

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced.
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.
This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

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"

so it will be consistent with code mm directory and with
Documentation/admin-guide/mm and won't be confused with virtual machines.
