The tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() is specially designed for page
table pages, and now all architectures have been converted to use it to
remove page table pages.  So let's remove tlb_remove_page_ptdesc(), it
currently has no users and should not be used for page table pages.

All callers of tlb_remove_ptdesc() pass it a pointer of struct ptdesc, so
let's change the pt parameter from void * to struct ptdesc * to perform a
type safety check.

Patch series "remove tlb_remove_page_ptdesc()", v2.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra below [1], this series aims to remove
tlb_remove_page_ptdesc().

: Fundamentally tlb_remove_page() is about removing *pages* as from a PTE,
: there should not be a page-table anywhere near here *ever*.
:
: Yes, some architectures use tlb_remove_page() for page-tables too, but
: that is more or less an implementation detail that can be fixed.

After this series, all architectures use tlb_remove_table() or
tlb_remove_ptdesc() to remove the page table pages.  In the future, once
all architectures using tlb_remove_table() have also converted to using
struct ptdesc (eg.  powerpc), it may be possible to use only
tlb_remove_ptdesc().

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20250103111457.GC22934@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/


This patch (of 6):

Now only arm will call tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() when
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled.  In this case, the type of the
table parameter is actually struct ptdesc * instead of struct page *.

Since struct ptdesc still overlaps with struct page and has not been
separated from it, forcing the table parameter to struct page * will not
cause any problems at this time.  But this is definitely incorrect and
needs to be fixed.  So just like the generic __tlb_remove_table(), let
generic tlb_remove_table() use struct ptdesc by default when
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
  with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).

  This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
  state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
  This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
  situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
  lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
  Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
  recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
  defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
  loop of a lock slow path.

  Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
  can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
  likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
  There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
  internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
  be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
  subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
  mitigated at runtime.

  This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
  remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
  nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
  different contexts.

  We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
  comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
  we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
  spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This is mainly set of cleanups of asm-generic/io.h, resolving problems
  with inconsistent semantics of ioread64/iowrite64 that were causing
  runtime and build issues.

  The "GENERIC_IOMAP" version that switches between inb()/outb() and
  readb()/writeb() style accessors is now only used on architectures
  that have PC-style ISA devices that are not memory mapped (x86, uml,
  m68k-q40 and powerpc-powernv), while alpha and parisc use a more
  complicated variant and everything else just maps the ioread
  interfaces to plan MMIO (readb/writeb etc).

  In addition there are two small changes from Raag Jadav to simplify
  the asm-generic/io.h indirect inclusions and from Jann Horn to fix a
  corner case with read_word_at_a_time"

Samuel Holland &lt;samuel.holland@sifive.com&gt; says:

Currently, RISC-V NOMMU kernels are linked at CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, and
since they are not relocatable, must be loaded at this address as well.
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is not a user-visible Kconfig option, so its value is
not obvious, and users must patch the kernel source if they want to load
it at a different address.

Make NOMMU kernels more portable by making them relocatable by default.
This allows a single kernel binary to work when loaded at any address.

* b4-shazam-merge:
  riscv: Remove CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET
  riscv: Support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on riscv32
  asm-generic: Always define Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela
  riscv: Support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on NOMMU
  riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to access all of RAM
  riscv: Remove duplicate CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET definition

These definitions are useful for relocating the kernel image as well,
regardless of the type of relocations used for modules.

When arm64 is built with LTO, it upgrades READ_ONCE() to ldar / ldapr
(load-acquire) to avoid issues that can be caused by the compiler
optimizing away implicit address dependencies.

Unlike plain loads, these load-acquire instructions actually require an
aligned address.

For now, fix it by removing the READ_ONCE() that the buggy commit
introduced.
