The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region.

When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped. The i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of the prio_tree. In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not held. This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the prio_tree walk.

In AIM7 runs, recent kernels start swapping out anonymous pages well before they should. This is due to shrink_list falling through to shrink_inactive_list if !inactive_anon_is_low(zone, sc), when all we really wanted to do is pre-age some anonymous pages to give them extra time to be referenced while on the inactive list. The obvious fix is to make sure that shrink_list does not fall through to scanning/reclaiming inactive pages when we called it to scan one of the active lists. This change should be safe because the loop in shrink_zone ensures that we will still shrink the anon and file inactive lists whenever we should.

However, earlier in the that function, it's also possible to call into the page allocator with the same spinlock held. What this patch does is drop the spinlock before the page allocator is potentially entered. The check for page allocation failure can be made without the page_table_lock as well as the copy of the huge page. Even if the PTE changed while the spinlock was held, the consequence is that a huge page is copied unnecessarily. This resolves both the double taking of the lock and sleeping with the spinlock held.

The previous patch enables page migration of ksm pages, but that soon gets into trouble: not surprising, since we're using the ksm page lock to lock operations on its stable_node, but page migration switches the page whose lock is to be used for that. Another layer of locking would fix it, but do we need that yet? Do we actually need page migration of ksm pages? Yes, memory hotremove needs to offline sections of memory: and since we stopped allocating ksm pages with GFP_HIGHUSER, they will tend to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE candidates for migration. But KSM is currently unconscious of NUMA issues, happily merging pages from different NUMA nodes: at present the rule must be, not to use MADV_MERGEABLE where you care about NUMA. So no, NUMA page migration of ksm pages does not make sense yet. So, to complete support for ksm swapping we need to make hotremove safe. ksm_memory_callback() take ksm_thread_mutex when MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and release it when MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. But if mapped pages are freed before migration reaches them, stable_nodes may be left still pointing to struct pages which have been removed from the system: the stable_node needs to identify a page by pfn rather than page pointer, then it can safely prune them when MEM_OFFLINE. And make NUMA migration skip PageKsm pages where it skips PageReserved. But it's only when we reach unmap_and_move() that the page lock is taken and we can be sure that raised pagecount has prevented a PageAnon from being upgraded: so add offlining arg to migrate_pages(), to migrate ksm page when offlining (has sufficient locking) but reject it otherwise.

A side-effect of making ksm pages swappable is that they have to be placed on the LRUs: which then exposes them to isolate_lru_page() and hence to page migration. Add rmap_walk() for remove_migration_ptes() to use: rmap_walk_anon() and rmap_walk_file() in rmap.c, but rmap_walk_ksm() in ksm.c. Perhaps some consolidation with existing code is possible, but don't attempt that yet (try_to_unmap needs to handle nonlinears, but migration pte removal does not). rmap_walk() is sadly less general than it appears: rmap_walk_anon(), like remove_anon_migration_ptes() which it replaces, avoids calling page_lock_anon_vma(), because that includes a page_mapped() test which fails when all migration ptes are in place. That was valid when NUMA page migration was introduced (holding mmap_sem provided the missing guarantee that anon_vma's slab had not already been destroyed), but I believe not valid in the memory hotremove case added since. For now do the same as before, and consider the best way to fix that unlikely race later on. When fixed, we can probably use rmap_walk() on hwpoisoned ksm pages too: for now, they remain among hwpoison's various exceptions (its PageKsm test comes before the page is locked, but its page_lock_anon_vma fails safely if an anon gets upgraded).

But ksm swapping does require one small change in mem cgroup handling. When do_swap_page()'s call to ksm_might_need_to_copy() does indeed substitute a duplicate page to accommodate a different anon_vma (or a the !PageSwapCache check in mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin(). That was returning success without charging, on the assumption that pte_same() would fail after, which is not the case here. Originally I proposed that success, so that an unshrinkable mem cgroup at its limit would not fail unnecessarily; but that's a minor point, and there are plenty of other places where we may fail an overallocation which might later prove unnecessary. So just go ahead and do what all the other exceptions do: proceed to charge current mm.

When ksm pages were unswappable, it made no sense to include them in mem cgroup accounting; but now that they are swappable (although I see no strict logical connection) the principle of least surprise implies that they should be accounted (with the usual dissatisfaction, that a shared page is accounted to only one of the cgroups using it). This patch was intended to add mem cgroup accounting where necessary; but turned inside out, it now avoids allocating a ksm page, instead upgrading an anon page to ksm - which brings its existing mem cgroup accounting with it. Thus mem cgroups don't appear in the patch at all. This upgrade from PageAnon to PageKsm takes place under page lock (via a somewhat hacky NULL kpage interface), and audit showed only one place which needed to cope with the race - page_referenced() is sometimes used without page lock, so page_lock_anon_vma() needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to be sure of getting anon_vma and flags together (no problem if the page goes ksm an instant after, the integrity of that anon_vma list is unaffected).

There's a lamentable flaw in KSM swapping: the stable_node holds a reference to the ksm page, so the page to be freed cannot actually be freed until ksmd works its way around to removing the last rmap_item from its stable_node. Which in some configurations may take minutes: not quite responsive enough for memory reclaim. And we don't want to twist KSM and its locking more tightly into the rest of mm. What a pity. But although the stable_node needs to hold a pointer to the ksm page, does it actually need to raise the reference count of that page? No. It would need to do so if struct pages were ordinary kmalloc'ed objects; but they are more stable than that, and reused in particular ways according to particular rules. Access to stable_node from its pointer in struct page is no problem, so long as we never free a stable_node before the ksm page itself has been freed. Access to struct page from its pointer in stable_node: reintroduce get_ksm_page(), and let that peep out through its keyhole (the stable_node pointer to ksm page), to see if that struct page still holds the right key to open it (the ksm page mapping pointer back to this stable_node). This relies upon the established way in which free_hot_cold_page() sets an anon (including ksm) page->mapping to NULL; and relies upon no other user of a struct page to put something which looks like the original stable_node pointer (with two low bits also set) into page->mapping. It also needs get_page_unless_zero() technique pioneered by speculative pagecache; and uses rcu_read_lock() to keep the guarantees that gives. There are several drivers which put pointers of their own into page-> mapping; but none of those could coincide with our stable_node pointers, since KSM won't free a stable_node until it sees that the page has gone. The only problem case found is the pagetable spinlock USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS places in struct page (my own abuse): to accommodate GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's break_lock on 32-bit, that spans both page->private and page->mapping. Since break_lock is only 0 or 1, again no confusion for get_ksm_page(). But what of DEBUG_SPINLOCK on 64-bit bigendian? When owner_cpu is 3 (matching PageKsm low bits), it might see 0xdead4ead00000003 in page-> mapping, which might coincide? We could get around that by... but a better answer is to suppress USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, to stop bloating sizeof(struct page) in their case - already proposed in an earlier mm/Kconfig patch.

For full functionality, page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() need to know the vma: to pass vma down to arch-dependent flushes, or to observe VM_LOCKED or VM_EXEC. But KSM keeps no record of vma: nor can it, since vmas get split and merged without its knowledge. Instead, note page's anon_vma in its rmap_item when adding to stable tree: all the vmas which might map that page are listed by its anon_vma. page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm() then traverse the anon_vma, first to find the probable vma, that which matches rmap_item's mm; but if that is not enough to locate all instances, traverse again to try the others. This catches those occasions when fork has duplicated a pte of a ksm page, but ksmd has not yet come around to assign it an rmap_item. But each rmap_item in the stable tree which refers to an anon_vma needs to take a reference to it. Andrea's anon_vma design cleverly avoided a reference count (an anon_vma was free when its list of vmas was empty), but KSM now needs to add that. Is a 32-bit count sufficient? I believe so - the anon_vma is only free when both count is 0 and list is empty.

Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when faced with a PageKsm page. Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch. Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap. Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that page's node of the stable tree. The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma. (And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.) ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page. Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability. Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

When KSM merges an mlocked page, it has been forgetting to munlock it: that's been left to free_page_mlock(), which reports it in /proc/vmstat as unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed instead of unevictable_pgs_munlocked (and whinges "Page flag mlocked set for process" in mmotm, whereas mainline is silently forgiving). Call munlock_vma_page() to fix that.

Add a pointer to the ksm page into struct stable_node, holding a reference to the page while the node exists. Put a pointer to the stable_node into the ksm page's ->mapping. Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items. And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to memcmp our way through the tree to find its match.

Though we still do well to keep rmap_items in the unstable tree without a separate tree_item at the node, for several reasons it becomes awkward to keep rmap_items in the stable tree without a separate stable_node: lack of space in the nicely-sized rmap_item, the need for an anchor as rmap_items are removed, the need for a node even when temporarily no rmap_items are attached to it. So declare struct stable_node (rb_node to place it in the tree and hlist_head for the rmap_items hanging off it), and convert stable tree handling to use it: without yet taking advantage of it. Note how one stable_tree_insert() of a node now has _two_ stable_tree_append()s of the two rmap_items being merged.

Free up a pointer in struct rmap_item, by making the mm_slot's rmap_list a singly-linked list: we always traverse that list sequentially, and we don't even lose any prefetches (but should consider adding a few later). Name it rmap_list throughout. Do we need to free up that pointer? Not immediately, and in the end, we could continue to avoid it with a union; but having done the conversion, let's keep it this way, since there's no downside, and maybe we'll want more in future (struct rmap_item is a cache-friendly 32 bytes on 32-bit and 64 bytes on 64-bit, so we shall want to avoid expanding it).

Cleanup: make argument names more consistent from cmp_and_merge_page() down to replace_page(), so that it's easier to follow the rmap_item's page and the matching tree_page and the merged kpage through that code. In some places, e.g. break_cow(), pass rmap_item instead of separate mm and address. cmp_and_merge_page() initialize tree_page to NULL, to avoid a "may be used uninitialized" warning seen in one config by Anil SB.
