set_pte_range() allows to setup page table entries for a specific
range. It takes advantage of batched rmap update for large folio.
It now takes care of calling update_mmu_cache_range().

Current best practice is to reuse the name of the function as a define to
indicate that the function is implemented by the architecture.

flush_icache_page() is deprecated but not yet removed, so add a range
version of it. Change the documentation to refer to
update_mmu_cache_range() instead of update_mmu_cache().

Stored in the first tail page's flags, this flag replaces the destructor.
That removes the last of the destructors, so remove all references to
folio_dtor and compound_dtor.

We can use a bit in page[1].flags to indicate that this folio belongs to
hugetlb instead of using a value in page[1].dtors. That lets
folio_test_hugetlb() become an inline function like it should be. We can
also get rid of NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR.

ksm currently maintains several statistics, which let you determine how
successful KSM is at sharing pages. However it does not contain a metric
to determine how much work it does.
This commit adds the pages scanned metric. This allows the administrator
to determine how many pages have been scanned over a period of time.

pageblocks
Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block
sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks. This is
because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be
pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly.
This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than
required for vmemmap space. This helps the start address to be page block
aligned with different memory block sizes. Using this facility implies
the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock. This
allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with different
memory block size values.
For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4
pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a
reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.

With 2M PMD-level mapping, we require 32 struct pages and a single vmemmap
page can contain 1024 struct pages (PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(struct page)). Hence
with 64K page size, we don't use vmemmap deduplication for PMD-level
mapping.

On x86, batched and deferred tlb shootdown has lead to 90% performance
increase on tlb shootdown. on arm64, HW can do tlb shootdown without
software IPI. But sync tlbi is still quite expensive.
Even running a simplest program which requires swapout can
prove this is true,
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
#define SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024)
volatile unsigned char *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(p, 0x88, SIZE);
for (int k = 0; k < 10000; k++) {
/* swap in */
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i += 4096) {
(void)p[i];
}
/* swap out */
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}
}
Perf result on snapdragon 888 with 8 cores by using zRAM
as the swap block device.

ptep_clear_flush() takes 5.36% CPU in the micro-benchmark swapping in/out
a page mapped by only one process. If the page is mapped by multiple
processes, typically, like more than 100 on a phone, the overhead would be
much higher as we have to run tlb flush 100 times for one single page.
Plus, tlb flush overhead will increase with the number of CPU cores due to
the bad scalability of tlb shootdown in HW, so those ARM64 servers should
expect much higher overhead.
Further perf annonate shows 95% cpu time of ptep_clear_flush is actually
used by the final dsb() to wait for the completion of tlb flush. This
provides us a very good chance to leverage the existing batched tlb in
kernel. The minimum modification is that we only send async tlbi in the
first stage and we send dsb while we have to sync in the second stage.
With the above simplest micro benchmark, collapsed time to finish the
program decreases around 5%.
Typical collapsed time w/o patch:
~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
0.21user 14.34system 0:14.69elapsed
w/ patch:
~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
0.22user 13.45system 0:13.80elapsed
Also tested with benchmark in the commit on Kunpeng920 arm64 server
and observed an improvement around 12.5% with command
`time ./swap_bench`.

user 0m0.248s 0m0.279s
sys 0m12.039s 0m11.458s
Originally it's noticed a 16.99% overhead of ptep_clear_flush()
which has been eliminated by this patch:
[root@localhost yang]# perf record -- ./swap_bench && perf report
[...]
16.99% swap_bench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ptep_clear_flush
It is tested on 4,8,128 CPU platforms and shows to be beneficial on
large systems but may not have improvement on small systems like on
a 4 CPU platform.
Also this patch improve the performance of page migration. Using pmbench
and tries to migrate the pages of pmbench between node 0 and node 1 for
100 times for 1G memory, this patch decrease the time used around 20%
(prev 18.338318910 sec after 13.981866350 sec) and saved the time used
by ptep_clear_flush().

Let's update the documentation that any signal is sufficient, and add a
comment that not only checking for fatal signals is historical baggage:
changing it now could break existing user space. although unlikely.
For example, when an app provides a custom SIGALRM handler and triggers
memory offlining, the timeout cmd would no longer stop memory offlining,
because SIGALRM would no longer be considered a fatal signal.
Note that using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending() is
an anti-pattern, but slowly deprecating that behavior to eventually
change it in the far future is probably not worth the effort. If this
ever becomes relevant for user-space, we might want to rethink.

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been
deprecated since 58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious
users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is
causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from
customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to
kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed.
This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled)
or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was
unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later
addressed by
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/commit/52390d68040637dfc77f9fda6bbe70952423d380
so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There
are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of
completely.

When use_zero_pages is enabled, the calculation of ksm profit is not
correct because ksm zero pages is not counted in. So update the
calculation of KSM profit including the documentation.

As pages_sharing and pages_shared don't include the number of zero pages
merged by KSM, we cannot know how many pages are zero pages placed by KSM
when enabling use_zero_pages, which leads to KSM not being transparent
with all actual merged pages by KSM. In the early days of use_zero_pages,
zero-pages was unable to get unshared by the ways like MADV_UNMERGEABLE so
it's hard to count how many times one of those zeropages was then
unmerged.
But now, unsharing KSM-placed zero page accurately has been achieved, so
we can easily count both how many times a page full of zeroes was merged
with zero-page and how many times one of those pages was then unmerged.
and so, it helps to estimate memory demands when each and every shared
page could get unshared.
So we add ksm_zero_pages under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ to show the number
of all zero pages placed by KSM. Meanwhile, we update the Documentation.

The noswap mount option is surely not one of the three options for sizing:
move its description down.
The huge= mount option does not accept numeric values: those are just in
an internal enum. Delete those numbers, and follow the manpage text more
closely (but there's not yet any fadvise() or fcntl() which applies here).
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is hard to describe, and
barely relevant to mounting a tmpfs: just refer to transhuge.rst (while
still using the words deny and force, to help as informal reminders).

When a grant entry is still in use by the remote domain, Linux must put
it on a deferred list. Normally, this list is very short, because
the PV network and block protocols expect the backend to unmap the grant
first. However, Qubes OS's GUI protocol is subject to the constraints
of the X Window System, and as such winds up with the frontend unmapping
the window first. As a result, the list can grow very large, resulting
in a massive memory leak and eventual VM freeze.
To partially solve this problem, make the number of entries that the VM
will attempt to free at each iteration tunable. The default is still
10, but it can be overridden via a module parameter.
This is Cc: stable because (when combined with appropriate userspace
changes) it fixes a severe performance and stability problem for Qubes
OS users.
