Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs".

This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1].  The following two patches address user visible behavior
caused by this issue.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/


This patch (of 2):

A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD.  This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their
page table.

page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps.  Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.

To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1.  If a shared PMD is found
count the hugetlb page as shared.  A new helper to check for a shared PMD
is added.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplification, per David]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: hugetlb.h: include page_ref.h for page_count()]

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
   this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.

 - Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
   list of registered consoles and their flags.

   This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
   console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console-&gt;write()
   calbacks against:

      - each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
        and proper console drivers using the same device.

      - suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
        drivers.

      - various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
        susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
        operations that are not directly conflicting with the
        console-&gt;write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
        big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
        to untangle.

 - Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
   access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.

   This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
   console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
   against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
   risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
   only atomic consoles are registered.

 - Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
   locations. It was a historical leftover.

 - Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
   hack.

 - A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.

<content type='text'>
When VM_LOCKONFAULT was added, /proc/PID/smaps wasn't hooked up to it, so
looking at /proc/PID/smaps, it shows '??' instead of something
intelligable.  This can be reached by userspace by simply calling
`mlock2(..., MLOCK_ONFAULT);`.

Fix this by adding "lf" to denote VM_LOCKONFAULT.

The console_lock is used in part to guarantee safe list iteration.
The console_list_lock should be used because list synchronization
responsibility will be removed from the console_lock in a later
change.

Note, the console_lock is still needed to serialize the device()
callback with other console operations.

The console_lock is held throughout the start/show/stop procedure
to print out device/driver information about all registered
consoles. Since the console_lock is being used for multiple reasons,
explicitly document these reasons. This will be useful when the
console_lock is split into fine-grained locking.

Replace the open coded single linked list with a hlist so a conversion
to SRCU protected list walks can reuse the existing primitives.
