Pull TEE update from Jens Wiklander:
"Remove get_kernel_pages()
Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the
get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no
remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed"
[ This looks like it's just some random 'tee' cleanup, but the bigger
picture impetus for this is really to to to remove historical
confusion with mixed use of kernel virtual addresses and 'struct page'
pointers.
Kernel virtual pointers in the vmalloc space is then particularly
confusing - both for looking up a page pointer (when trying to then
unify a "virtual address or page" interface) and _particularly_ when
mixed with HIGHMEM support and the kmap*() family of remapping.
This is particularly true with HIGHMEM getting much less test coverage
with 32-bit architectures being increasingly legacy targets.
So we actively wanted to remove get_kernel_pages() to make sure nobody
else used it too, and thus the 'tee' part is "finally remove last
user".
See also commit 6647e76ab6 ("v4l2: don't fall back to follow_pfn()
if pin_user_pages_fast() fails") for a totally different version of a

Patch series "Convert various mempolicy.c functions to use folios", v4.
This patch series converts migrate_page_add() and queue_pages_required()
to migrate_folio_add() and queue_page_required(). It also converts the
callers of the functions to use folios as well, and introduces a helper
function to estimate the number of sharers of a folio.
This patch (of 6):
folio_estimated_sharers() takes in a folio and returns the precise number
of times the first subpage of the folio is mapped.
This function aims to provide an estimate for the number of sharers of a
folio. This is necessary for folio conversions where we care about the
number of processes that share a folio, but don't necessarily want to
check every single page within that folio.
This is in contrast to folio_mapcount() which calculates the total number
of the times a folio and all its subpages are mapped.

Patch series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error statistics", v2.
Background
==========
In the RFC for Kernel Support of Memory Error Detection [1], one advantage
of software-based scanning over hardware patrol scrubber is the ability to
make statistics visible to system administrators. The statistics include
2 categories:
* Memory error statistics, for example, how many memory error are
encountered, how many of them are recovered by the kernel. Note these
memory errors are non-fatal to kernel: during the machine check
exception (MCE) handling kernel already classified MCE's severity to be
unnecessary to panic (but either action required or optional).
* Scanner statistics, for example how many times the scanner have fully
scanned a NUMA node, how many errors are first detected by the scanner.
The memory error statistics are useful to userspace and actually not
specific to scanner detected memory errors, and are the focus of this
patchset.
Motivation
==========
Memory error stats are important to userspace but insufficient in kernel
today. Datacenter administrators can better monitor a machine's memory
health with the visible stats. For example, while memory errors are
inevitable on servers with 10+ TB memory, starting server maintenance when
there are only 1~2 recovered memory errors could be overreacting; in cloud
production environment maintenance usually means live migrate all the
workload running on the server and this usually causes nontrivial
disruption to the customer. Providing insight into the scope of memory
errors on a system helps to determine the appropriate follow-up action.
In addition, the kernel's existing memory error stats need to be
standardized so that userspace can reliably count on their usefulness.
Today kernel provides following memory error info to userspace, but they
are not sufficient or have disadvantages:
* HardwareCorrupted in /proc/meminfo: number of bytes poisoned in total,
not per NUMA node stats though
* ras:memory_failure_event: only available after explicitly enabled
* /dev/mcelog provides many useful info about the MCEs, but doesn't
capture how memory_failure recovered memory MCEs
* kernel logs: userspace needs to process log text
Exposing memory error stats is also a good start for the in-kernel memory
error detector. Today the data source of memory error stats are either
direct memory error consumption, or hardware patrol scrubber detection
(either signaled as UCNA or SRAO). Once in-kernel memory scanner is
implemented, it will be the main source as it is usually configured to
scan memory DIMMs constantly and faster than hardware patrol scrubber.
How Implemented
===============
As Naoya pointed out [2], exposing memory error statistics to userspace is
useful independent of software or hardware scanner. Therefore we
implement the memory error statistics independent of the in-kernel memory
error detector. It exposes the following per NUMA node memory error
counters:
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/total
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/recovered
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/ignored
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/failed
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/delayed
These counters describe how many raw pages are poisoned and after the
attempted recoveries by the kernel, their resolutions: how many are
recovered, ignored, failed, or delayed respectively. This approach can be
easier to extend for future use cases than /proc/meminfo, trace event, and
log. The following math holds for the statistics:
* total = recovered + ignored + failed + delayed
These memory error stats are reset during machine boot.
The 1st commit introduces these sysfs entries. The 2nd commit populates
memory error stats every time memory_failure attempts memory error
recovery. The 3rd commit adds documentations for introduced stats.

This patch (of 3):
Today kernel provides following memory error info to userspace, but each
has its own disadvantage

not per NUMA node stats though
* ras:memory_failure_event: only available after explicitly enabled
* /dev/mcelog provides many useful info about the MCEs, but

Calling this 'mapcount' is confusing since mapcount is usually the number
of times something is mapped; instead this is the number of mapped pages.
It's also better to enforce that this is a folio rather than a head page.
Move folio_nr_pages_mapped() into mm/internal.h since this is not
something we want device drivers or filesystems poking at. Get rid of
folio_subpages_mapcount_ptr() and use folio->_nr_pages_mapped directly.

Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".
Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.
This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.
Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.
This patch (of 3):
We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.
Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.
Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.
No functional change intended.

Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().
The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be
half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on
any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.
Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":
1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.
2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.
Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow
too during the int-size convertion.

Patch series "Convert deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate()", v4.
Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios. This patch
series modifies the callers of deactivate_page() to use folios. It also
introduces vm_normal_folio() to assist with folio conversions, and
converts deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate() which takes in a folio.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a wrapper function called vm_normal_folio(). This function
calls vm_normal_page() and returns the folio of the page found, or null if
no page is found.
This function allows callers to get a folio from a pte, which will
eventually allow them to completely replace their struct page variables
with struct folio instead.

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.
This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.
The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:
- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
restricted cgroup cpuset per container.
One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.
On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.
Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.
The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].
The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:
* perf bench sched messaging (process)
Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms
* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)
Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms
With mm_cid: 84.7±2.6 ms
* hackbench (process)
Baseline: 82.9±2.7 ms
With mm_cid: 82.9±2.9 ms
* hackbench (threaded)
Baseline: 85.2±2.6 ms
With mm_cid: 84.4±2.9 ms

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.
- Various fixes"
