ma_wr_state was previously tracking the end of the node for writing.
Since the implementation of the ma_state end tracking, this is duplicated
work. This patch removes the maple write state tracking of the end of the
node and uses the maple state end instead.

The maple tree node is overloaded to keep status as well as the active
node. This, unfortunately, results in a re-walk on underflow or overflow.
Since the maple state has room, the status can be placed in its own enum
in the structure. Once an underflow/overflow is detected, certain modes
can restore the status to active and others may need to re-walk just that
one node to see the entry.
The status being an enum has the benefit of detecting unhandled status in
switch statements.

Analysis of the mas_for_each() iteration showed that there is a
significant time spent finding the end of a node. This time can be
greatly reduced if the end of the node is cached in the maple state. Care
must be taken to update & invalidate as necessary.

__mas_set_range() was created to shortcut resetting the maple state and a
debug check was added to the caller (the vma iterator) to ensure the
internal maple state remains safe to use. Move the debug check from the
vma iterator into the maple tree itself so other users do not incorrectly
use the advanced maple state modification.
Fallout from this change include a large amount of debug setup needed to
be moved to earlier in the header, and the maple_tree.h radix-tree test
code needed to move the inclusion of the header to after the atomic
define. None of those changes have functional changes.

Introduce interfaces __mt_dup() and mtree_dup(), which are used to
duplicate a maple tree. They duplicate a maple tree in Depth-First Search
(DFS) pre-order traversal. It uses memcopy() to copy nodes in the source
tree and allocate new child nodes in non-leaf nodes. The new node is
exactly the same as the source node except for all the addresses stored in
it. It will be faster than traversing all elements in the source tree and
inserting them one by one into the new tree. The time complexity of these
two functions is O(n).
The difference between __mt_dup() and mtree_dup() is that mtree_dup()
handles locks internally.
Analysis of the average time complexity of this algorithm:
For simplicity, let's assume that the maximum branching factor of all
non-leaf nodes is 16 (in allocation mode, it is 10), and the tree is a
full tree.
Under the given conditions, if there is a maple tree with n elements, the
number of its leaves is n/16. From bottom to top, the number of nodes in
each level is 1/16 of the number of nodes in the level below. So the
total number of nodes in the entire tree is given by the sum of n/16 +
n/16^2 + n/16^3 + ... + 1. This is a geometric series, and it has log(n)
terms with base 16. According to the formula for the sum of a geometric
series, the sum of this series can be calculated as (n-1)/15. Each node
has only one parent node pointer, which can be considered as an edge. In
total, there are (n-1)/15-1 edges.
This algorithm consists of two operations:
1. Traversing all nodes in DFS order.
2. For each node, making a copy and performing necessary modifications
to create a new node.
For the first part, DFS traversal will visit each edge twice. Let
T(ascend) represent the cost of taking one step downwards, and T(descend)
represent the cost of taking one step upwards. And both of them are
constants (although mas_ascend() may not be, as it contains a loop, but
here we ignore it and treat it as a constant). So the time spent on the
first part can be represented as ((n-1)/15-1) * (T(ascend) + T(descend)).
For the second part, each node will be copied, and the cost of copying a
node is denoted as T(copy_node). For each non-leaf node, it is necessary
to reallocate all child nodes, and the cost of this operation is denoted
as T(dup_alloc). The behavior behind memory allocation is complex and not
specific to the maple tree operation. Here, we assume that the time
required for a single allocation is constant. Since the size of a node is
fixed, both of these symbols are also constants. We can calculate that
the time spent on the second part is ((n-1)/15) * T(copy_node) + ((n-1)/15
- n/16) * T(dup_alloc).
Adding both parts together, the total time spent by the algorithm can be
represented as:
((n-1)/15) * (T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc)) -
n/16 * T(dup_alloc) - (T(ascend) + T(descend))
Let C1 = T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc)
Let C2 = T(dup_alloc)
Let C3 = T(ascend) + T(descend)
Finally, the expression can be simplified as:
((16 * C1 - 15 * C2) / (15 * 16)) * n - (C1 / 15 + C3).
This is a linear function, so the average time complexity is O(n).

In some cases, nested locks may be needed, so {mtree,mas}_lock_nested is
introduced. For example, when duplicating maple tree, we need to hold the
locks of two trees, in which case nested locks are needed.
At the same time, add the definition of spin_lock_nested() in tools for
testing.

When updating the maple tree iterator to avoid rewalks, an issue was
introduced when shifting beyond the limits. This can be seen by trying to
go to the previous address of 0, which would set the maple node to
MAS_NONE and keep the range as the last entry.
Subsequent calls to mas_find() would then search upwards from mas->last
and skip the value at mas->index/mas->last. This showed up as a bug in
mprotect which skips the actual VMA at the current range after attempting
to go to the previous VMA from 0.
Since MAS_NONE may already be set when searching for a value that isn't
contained within a node, changing the handling of MAS_NONE in mas_find()
would make the code more complicated and error prone. Furthermore, there
was no way to tell which limit was hit, and thus which action to take
(next or the entry at the current range).
This solution is to add two states to track what happened with the
previous iterator action. This allows for the expected behaviour of the
next command to return the correct item (either the item at the range
requested, or the next/previous).
Tests are also added and updated accordingly.

Patch series "maple_tree: Fix mas_prev() state regression".
Pedro Falcato retported an mprotect regression [1] which was bisected back
to the iterator changes for maple tree. Root cause analysis showed the
mas_prev() running off the end of the VMA space (previous from 0) followed
by mas_find(), would skip the first value.
This patchset introduces maple state underflow/overflow so the sequence of
calls on the maple state will return what the user expects.
Users who encounter this bug may see mprotect(), userfaultfd_register(),
and mlock() fail on VMAs mapped with address 0.
This patch (of 2):
Instead of constantly checking each possibility of the maple state,
create a fast path that will skip over checking unlikely states.

mas_set_range() resets the node to MAS_START, which will cause a re-walk
of the tree to the range. This is unnecessary when the maple state is
already at the correct location of the write. Add a function that only
sets the range to avoid unnecessary re-walking of the tree.

The documentation of mt_next() claims that it starts the search at the
provided index. That's incorrect as it starts the search after the
provided index.
The documentation of mt_find() is slightly confusing. "Handles locking"
is not really helpful as it does not explain how the "locking" works.
Also the documentation of index talks about a range, while in reality the
index is updated on a succesful search to the index of the found entry
plus one.
Fix similar issues for mt_find_after() and mt_prev().
Reword the confusing "Note: Will not return the zero entry." comment on
mt_for_each() and document @__index correctly.

Patch series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()", v4.
This patchset does two things: 1. Clean up, including removal of
__vma_adjust() and 2. Extends the VMA iterator API to provide type safety
to the VMA operations using the maple tree, as requested by Linus [1].
It also addresses another issue of usability brought up by Linus about
needing to modify the maple state within the loops. The maple state has
been replaced by the VMA iterator and the iterator is now modified within
the MM code so the caller should not need to worry about doing the work
themselves when tree modifications occur.
This brought up a potential inconsistency of the iterator state and what
the user expects, so the inconsistency is addressed to keep the VMA
iterator safe for use after the looping over a VMA range. This is
addressed in patch 3 ("maple_tree: Reduce user error potential") and 4
("test_maple_tree: Test modifications while iterating").
While cleaning up the state, the duplicate locking code in mm/mmap.c
introduced by the maple tree has been address by abstracting it to two
functions: vma_prepare() and vma_complete(). These abstractions allowed
for a much simpler __vma_adjust(), which eventually leads to the removal
of the __vma_adjust() function by placing the logic into the vma_merge()
function itself.

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.

Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.

There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.
