These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn
remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages
they've allocated individually instead.

For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN
remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping.  In the long
run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for
that, though.

This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.

Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area,
zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like
ordinary pages, not like the unpaged.

But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a
condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the
distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is
another matter).  So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with
(or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space).  I suspect there's an
entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon

Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage.  The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.

Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched.  Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED.  Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.

Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there.  Is it
needed anywhere?  It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).

Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 prohibited get_user_pages on the areas
flagged VM_RESERVED in place of PageReserved.  That is correct in theory - we
ought not to interfere with struct pages in such a reserved area; but in
practice it broke BTTV for one.

So revert to prohibiting only on VM_IO: if someone gets into trouble with
get_user_pages on VM_RESERVED, it'll just be a "don't do that".

You can argue that videobuf_mmap_mapper shouldn't set VM_RESERVED in the first
place, but now's not the time for breaking drivers without notice.

The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings.  The problem is most simply
explained with an example:

If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.

The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Final step in pushing down common core's page_table_lock.  follow_page no
longer wants caller to hold page_table_lock, uses pte_offset_map_lock itself;
and so no page_table_lock is taken in get_user_pages itself.

But get_user_pages (and get_futex_key) do then need follow_page to pin the
page for them: take Daniel's suggestion of bitflags to follow_page.

Need one for WRITE, another for TOUCH (it was the accessed flag before:
vanished along with check_user_page_readable, but surely get_numa_maps is
wrong to mark every page it finds as accessed), another for GET.

And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for
that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page
table and return ZERO_PAGE if so.  Fix minor bug in that: check VM_LOCKED -
make_pages_present ought to make readonly anonymous present.

check_user_page_readable is a problematic variant of follow_page.  It's used
only by oprofile's i386 and arm backtrace code, at interrupt time, to
establish whether a userspace stackframe is currently readable.

This is problematic, because we want to push the page_table_lock down inside
follow_page, and later split it; whereas oprofile is doing a spin_trylock on
it (in the i386 case, forgotten in the arm case), and needs that to pin
perhaps two pages spanned by the stackframe (which might be covered by
different locks when we split).

I think oprofile is going about this in the wrong way: it doesn't need to know
the area is readable (neither i386 nor arm uses read protection of user
pages), it doesn't need to pin the memory, it should simply
__copy_from_user_inatomic, and see if that succeeds or not.  Sorry, but I've
not got around to devising the sparse __user annotations for this.

Then we can eliminate check_user_page_readable, and return to a single
follow_page without the __follow_page variants.

Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace

now safe to descend without page_table_lock.

Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in
unmap_hugepage_range.  Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in
zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway.  Nor
does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now.

The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without

flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range

In most places the descent from pgd to pud to pmd to pte holds mmap_sem
(exclusively or not), which ensures that free_pgtables cannot be freeing page
tables from any level at the same time.  But truncation and reverse mapping
descend without mmap_sem.

No problem: just make sure that a vma is unlinked from its prio_tree (or
nonlinear list) and from its anon_vma list, after zapping the vma, but before
freeing its page tables.  Then neither vmtruncate nor rmap can reach that vma
whose page tables are now volatile (nor do they need to reach it, since all
its page entries have been zapped by this stage).

The i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock already serialize this correctly; but the
locking hierarchy is such that we cannot take them while holding
page_table_lock.  Well, we're trying to push that down anyway.  So in this
patch, move anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma into free_pgtables, at the
same time as moving page_table_lock around calls to unmap_vmas.

tlb_gather_mmu and tlb_finish_mmu then fall outside the page_table_lock, but
we made them preempt_disable and preempt_enable earlier; and a long source
audit of all the architectures has shown no problem with removing
page_table_lock from them.  free_pgtables doesn't need page_table_lock for
itself, nor for what it calls; tlb->mm->nr_ptes is usually protected by
page_table_lock, but partly by non-exclusive mmap_sem - here it's decremented
with exclusive mmap_sem, or mm_users 0.  update_hiwater_rss and
vm_unacct_memory don't need page_table_lock either.

On the page fault path, the patch before last pushed acquiring the
page_table_lock down to the head of handle_pte_fault (though it's also taken
and dropped earlier when a new page table has to be allocated).

Now delete that line, read "entry = *pte" without it, and go off to this or
that page fault handler on the basis of this unlocked peek.  Usually the
handler can proceed without the lock, relying on the subsequent locked
pte_same or pte_none test to back out when necessary; though do_wp_page needs
the lock immediately, and do_file_page doesn't check (if there's a race,
install_page just zaps the entry and reinstalls it).

But on those architectures (notably i386 with PAE) whose pte is too big to be
read atomically, if SMP or preemption is enabled, do_swap_page and
do_file_page might cause irretrievable damage if passed a Frankenstein entry
stitched together from unrelated parts.  In those configs, "pte_unmap_same"
has to take page_table_lock, validate orig_pte still the same, and drop
page_table_lock before unmapping, before proceeding.

Use pte_offset_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock throughout the handlers; but lock
avoidance leaves more lone maps and unmaps than elsewhere.

Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  Remove the temporary
bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.

Convert their callers from common code.  But avoid coming back to change them
again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.

These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
"atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate.  It appears that on
all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line.  Though it does
add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
__pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line.  Mark none of them
as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.

It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
case.  At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those
concerned with mm scalability.  Originally it was called whenever rss or
total_vm got raised.  Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer
tick call from account_system_time.  Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to
be found inadequate.  How about this?  Works for Frank.

Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros
update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm.  Don't attempt to keep
mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually
by 1): those are hot paths.  Do the opposite, update only when about to lower
rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit.  Handle
mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue.  Demand
that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the
maximum with rss or total_vm.

And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree.  The
new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak
line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS
(High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory).

There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be
captured too high.  A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly
corrected now, whereas before it would stick.

What locking?  None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy,
it's not worth any overhead to make them exact.  But whenever it suits,
hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under
page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without
going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and
updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up
and back down in between.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.

PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.

All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.

MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).

Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.

Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).

A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems.  There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

tlb_finish_mmu used to batch zap_pte_range's update of mm rss, which may be
worthwhile if the mm is contended, and would reduce atomic operations if the
counts were atomic.  Let zap_pte_range now batch its updates to file_rss and
anon_rss, per page-table in case we drop the lock outside; and copy_pte_range
batch them too.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible.  So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss.  Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.

Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics.  And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss.  That got stranger when I
added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros.  And it would no
longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.

Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that).  And
forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
- if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.

Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
was being made of them.  But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush.  arm26 seems to prefer
spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm?  What does that mean?  The TLB is full?  No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down.  And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".

And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64.  Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,
do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their
arguments in the same order, called the same names?

break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to
compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page.

do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing
pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear
vmas, so just check that.  BUG_ON if not?  Better not, it's probably page
table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's
use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too.

Hah!  Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it:
restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

do_anonymous_page's pte_wrprotect causes some confusion: in such a case,
vm_page_prot must already be forcing COW, so must omit write permission, and
so the pte_wrprotect is redundant.  Replace it by a comment to that effect,
and reword the comment on unuse_pte which also caused confusion.

zap_pte_range already avoids wasting time to mark_page_accessed on anon pages:
it can also skip anon set_page_dirty - the page only needs to be marked dirty
if shared with another mm, but that will say pte_dirty too.

My latency breaking in copy_pte_range didn't work as intended: instead of
checking at regularish intervals, after the first interval it checked every
time around the loop, too impatient to be preempted.  Fix that.

This reverts commit 3359b54c and
replaces it with a cleaner version that is purely based on page table

The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted.  At the time of mmap of
hugepages, we populate the new PTEs.  It is possible that HW has already
cached some of the unused PTEs internally.  These stale entries never
get a chance to be purged in existing control flow.

This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages.  Check if
a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.
We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch
specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that
need it).

Add a new accessor for PTEs, which passes the full hint from the mmu_gather
struct; this allows architectures with hardware pagetables to optimize away
atomic PTE operations when destroying an address space.  Removing the
locked operation should allow better pipelining of memory access in this
loop.  I measured an average savings of 30-35 cycles per zap_pte_range on
the first 500 destructions on Pentium-M, but I believe the optimization
would win more on older processors which still assert the bus lock on xchg
for an exclusive cacheline.

Update: I made some new measurements, and this saves exactly 26 cycles over
ptep_get_and_clear on Pentium M.  On P4, with a PAE kernel, this saves 180
cycles per ptep_get_and_clear, for a whopping 92160 cycles savings for a
full address space destruction.

pte_clear_full is not yet used, but is provided for future optimizations
(in particular, when running inside of a hypervisor that queues page table
updates, the full hint allows us to avoid queueing unnecessary page table
update for an address space in the process of being destroyed.

This is not a huge win, but it does help a bit, and sets the stage for
further hypervisor optimization of the mm layer on all architectures.

If !vma->vm-ops we already BUG above, so retesting it is useless.  The
compiler cannot optimize this because BUG is a macro and is not thus marked
noreturn; that should possibly be fixed.
