The OOM kill sysrq (alt+sysrq+F) should allow the user to kill the
process with the highest OOM badness with a single execution.
However, at the moment, the OOM kill can bail out if an OOM notifier
(e.g. the i915 one) says that it reclaimed a tiny amount of memory from
somewhere. That's probably not what the user wants, so skip the bailout
if the OOM was triggered via sysrq.

This syscall can be used to set a home node for the MPOL_BIND and
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy. Users should use this syscall after
setting up a memory policy for the specified range as shown below.
mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp,
new_nodes->size + 1, 0);
sys_set_mempolicy_home_node((unsigned long)p, nr_pages * page_size,
home_node, 0);
The syscall allows specifying a home node/preferred node from which
kernel will fulfill memory allocation requests first.
For address range with MPOL_BIND memory policy, if nodemask specifies
more than one node, page allocations will come from the node in the
nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home
node/preferred node.
For MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY if the nodemask specifies more than one node,
page allocation will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient
free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node. If there
is not enough memory in all the nodes specified in the nodemask, the
allocation will be attempted from the closest numa node to the home node
in the system.
This helps applications to hint at a memory allocation preference node
and fallback to _only_ a set of nodes if the memory is not available on
the preferred node. Fallback allocation is attempted from the node
which is nearest to the preferred node.
This helps applications to have control on memory allocation numa nodes
and avoids default fallback to slow memory NUMA nodes. For example a
system with NUMA nodes 1,2 and 3 with DRAM memory and 10, 11 and 12 of
slow memory
new_nodes = numa_bitmask_alloc(nr_nodes);
numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 1);
numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 2);
numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 3);
p = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * page_size, protflag, mapflag, -1, 0);
mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp, new_nodes->size + 1, 0);
sys_set_mempolicy_home_node(p, nr_pages * page_size, 2, 0);
This will allocate from nodes closer to node 2 and will make sure the
kernel will only allocate from nodes 1, 2, and 3. Memory will not be
allocated from slow memory nodes 10, 11, and 12. This differs from
default MPOL_BIND behavior in that with default MPOL_BIND the allocation
will be attempted from node closer to the local node. One of the
reasons to specify a home node is to allow allocations from cpu less
NUMA node and its nearby NUMA nodes.
With MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on the other hand will first try to allocate
from the closest node to node 2 from the node list 1, 2 and 3. If those
nodes don't have enough memory, kernel will allocate from slow memory
node 10, 11 and 12 which ever is closer to node 2.

Patch series "mm: add new syscall set_mempolicy_home_node", v6.
This patch (of 3):
A followup patch will enable setting a home node with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy. To facilitate that switch to using
policy_node helper. There is no functional change in this patch.

In unset_migratetype_isolate(), we can bypass the call to
move_freepages_block() for non-buddy pages.
It will save a few cpu cycles for some situations such as cma and
hugetlb when allocating continue pages, in these situation function
alloc_contig_pages will be called.
alloc_contig_pages
__alloc_contig_migrate_range
isolate_freepages_range ==> pages has been remove from buddy
undo_isolate_page_range
unset_migratetype_isolate ==> can directly set migratetype

The message for commit f5c73297181c ("userfaultfd/selftests: fix hugetlb
area allocations") says there is no need to create a hugetlb file in the
non-shared testing case. However, the commit did not actually change
the code to prevent creation of the file.
While it is technically true that there is no need to create and use a
hugetlb file in the case of non-shared-testing, it is useful. This is
because 'hole punching' of a hugetlb file has the potentially incorrect
side effect of also removing pages from private mappings. The
userfaultfd test relies on this side effect for removing pages from the
destination buffer during rounds of stress testing.
Remove the incomplete code that was added to deal with no hugetlb file.
Just keep the code that prevents reserves from being created for the
destination area.

The hugetlb cgroup reservation test charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh assume
that no cgroup filesystems are mounted before running the test. That is
not true in many cases. As a result, the test fails to run. Fix that
by querying the current cgroup mount setting and using the existing
cgroup setup instead before attempting to freshly mount a cgroup
filesystem.
Similar change is also made for hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh as well,
though it still has problem if cgroup v2 isn't used.
The patched test scripts were run on a centos 8 based system to verify
that they ran properly.

There are interfaces to adjust max_ptes_none, max_ptes_swap,
max_ptes_shared values, see
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/.
But system administrator may not know which value is the best. So Add
those events to support adjusting max_ptes_* to suitable values.
For example, if default max_ptes_swap value causes too much failures,
and system uses zram whose IO is fast, administrator could increase
max_ptes_swap until THP_SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE not increase anymore.

The hugetlb vma mremap() test currently maps 1GB of memory to trigger
pmd sharing and make sure that 'unshare' path in mremap code works. The
test originally only mapped 10MB of memory (as specified by the header
comment) but was later modified to 1GB to tackle this case.
However, not all machines will have 1GB of memory to spare for this
test. Adding a mapping size arg will allow run_vmtest.sh to pass an
adequate mapping size, while allowing users to run the test
independently with arbitrary size mappings.

For hugetlb backed jobs/VMs it's critical to understand the numa
information for the memory backing these jobs to deliver optimal
performance.
Currently this technically can be queried from /proc/self/numa_maps, but
there are significant issues with that. Namely:
1. Memory can be mapped or unmapped.
2. numa_maps are per process and need to be aggregated across all
processes in the cgroup. For shared memory this is more involved as
the userspace needs to make sure it doesn't double count shared
mappings.
3. I believe querying numa_maps needs to hold the mmap_lock which adds
to the contention on this lock.
For these reasons I propose simply adding hugetlb.*.numa_stat file,
which shows the numa information of the cgroup similarly to
memory.numa_stat.
On cgroup-v2:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat
total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
On cgroup-v1:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat
total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
hierarichal_total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
This patch was tested manually by allocating hugetlb memory and querying
the hugetlb.*.numa_stat file of the cgroup and its parents.

The above failure happened when calling kmalloc() to allocate buffer with
GFP_DMA. It requests to allocate slab page from DMA zone while no managed
pages at all in there.
sr_probe()
--> get_capabilities()
--> buffer = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
Because in the current kernel, dma-kmalloc will be created as long as
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. However, kdump kernel of x86_64 doesn't have
managed pages on DMA zone since commit 6f599d84231f ("x86/kdump: Always
reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified"). The
failure can be always reproduced.
For now, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages
from DMA zone while no managed pages.

Currently three dma atomic pools are initialized as long as the relevant
kernel codes are built in. While in kdump kernel of x86_64, this is not
right when trying to create atomic_pool_dma, because there's no managed
pages in DMA zone. In the case, DMA zone only has low 1M memory
presented and locked down by memblock allocator. So no pages are added
into buddy of DMA zone. Please check commit f1d4d47c5851 ("x86/setup:
Always reserve the first 1M of RAM").
Then in kdump kernel of x86_64, it always prints below failure message:

Mem-Info:
------------------------------------
***Root cause:
In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages
and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not
always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and
locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be
added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This
exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested
from DMA zone.
***Investigation:
This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree.
1a6a9044b967 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options
23721c8e92f7 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M()
f1d4d47c5851 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM
7c321eb2b843 x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling
6f599d84231f x86/kdump: Always reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified
Before them, on x86_64, the low 640K area will be reused by kdump kernel.
So in kdump kernel, the content of low 640K area is copied into a backup
region for dumping before jumping into kdump. Then except of those firmware
reserved region in [0, 640K], the left area will be added into buddy
allocator to become available managed pages of DMA zone.
However, after above commits applied, in kdump kernel of x86_64, the low
1M is reserved by memblock, but not released to buddy allocator. So any
later page allocation requested from DMA zone will fail.
At the beginning, if crashkernel is reserved, the low 1M need be locked
down because AMD SME encrypts memory making the old backup region
mechanims impossible when switching into kdump kernel.
Later, it was also observed that there are BIOSes corrupting memory
under 1M. To solve this, in commit f1d4d47c5851, the entire region of
low 1M is always reserved after the real mode trampoline is allocated.
Besides, recently, Intel engineer mentioned their TDX (Trusted domain
extensions) which is under development in kernel also needs to lock down
the low 1M. So we can't simply revert above commits to fix the page allocation
failure from DMA zone as someone suggested.
***Solution:
Currently, only DMA atomic pool and dma-kmalloc will initialize and
request page allocation with GFP_DMA during bootup.
So only initializ DMA atomic pool when DMA zone has available managed
pages, otherwise just skip the initialization.
For dma-kmalloc(), for the time being, let's mute the warning of
allocation failure if requesting pages from DMA zone while no manged
pages. Meanwhile, change code to use dma_alloc_xx/dma_map_xx API to
replace kmalloc(GFP_DMA), or do not use GFP_DMA when calling kmalloc() if
not necessary. Christoph is posting patches to fix those under
drivers/scsi/. Finally, we can remove the need of dma-kmalloc() as people
suggested.
This patch (of 3):
In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have
managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always
true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked
down at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all
in DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if
page is requested from DMA zone.
Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to
check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later
patches.

kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32) does not return DMA32 memory because the DMA32

For embedded systems with low total memory, having to run applications
with relatively large memory requirements, 10% max limitation for
watermark_scale_factor poses an issue of triggering direct reclaim every
time such application is started. This results in slow application
startup times and bad end-user experience.
By increasing watermark_scale_factor max limit we allow vendors more
flexibility to choose the right level of kswapd aggressiveness for their
device and workload requirements.

Various places in the kernel - largely in filesystems - respond to a
memory allocation failure by looping around and re-trying. Some of
these cannot conveniently use __GFP_NOFAIL, for reasons such as:
- a GFP_ATOMIC allocation, which __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't work on
- a need to check for the process being signalled between failures
- the possibility that other recovery actions could be performed
- the allocation is quite deep in support code, and passing down an
extra flag to say if __GFP_NOFAIL is wanted would be clumsy.
Many of these currently use congestion_wait() which (in almost all
cases) simply waits the given timeout - congestion isn't tracked for
most devices.
It isn't clear what the best delay is for loops, but it is clear that
the various filesystems shouldn't be responsible for choosing a timeout.
This patch introduces memalloc_retry_wait() with takes on that
responsibility. Code that wants to retry a memory allocation can call
this function passing the GFP flags that were used. It will wait
however is appropriate.
For now, it only considers __GFP_NORETRY and whatever
gfpflags_allow_blocking() tests. If blocking is allowed without
__GFP_NORETRY, then alloc_page either made some reclaim progress, or
waited for a while, before failing. So there is no need for much
further waiting. memalloc_retry_wait() will wait until the current
jiffie ends. If this condition is not met, then alloc_page() won't have
waited much if at all. In that case memalloc_retry_wait() waits about
200ms. This is the delay that most current loops uses.
linux/sched/mm.h needs to be included in some files now,
but linux/backing-dev.h does not.

sl?b and vmalloc allocators reduce the given gfp mask for their internal
needs. For that they use GFP_RECLAIM_MASK to preserve the reclaim
behavior and constrains.
__GFP_NOLOCKDEP is not a part of that mask because it doesn't really
control the reclaim behavior strictly speaking. On the other hand it
tells the underlying page allocator to disable reclaim recursion
detection so arguably it should be part of the mask.
Having __GFP_NOLOCKDEP in the mask will not alter the behavior in any
form so this change is safe pretty much by definition. It also adds a
support for this flag to SL?B and vmalloc allocators which will in turn
allow its use to kvmalloc as well. A lack of the support has been
noticed recently in

Support for GFP_NO{FS,IO} and __GFP_NOFAIL has been implemented by
previous patches so we can allow the support for kvmalloc. This will
allow some external users to simplify or completely remove their
helpers.
GFP_NOWAIT semantic hasn't been supported so far but it hasn't been
explicitly documented so let's add a note about that.
ceph_kvmalloc is the first helper to be dropped and changed to kvmalloc.

Dave Chinner has mentioned that some of the xfs code would benefit from
kvmalloc support for __GFP_NOFAIL because they have allocations that
cannot fail and they do not fit into a single page.
The large part of the vmalloc implementation already complies with the
given gfp flags so there is no work for those to be done. The area and
page table allocations are an exception to that. Implement a retry loop
for those.
Add a short sleep before retrying. 1 jiffy is a completely random
timeout. Ideally the retry would wait for an explicit event - e.g. a
change to the vmalloc space change if the failure was caused by the
space fragmentation or depletion. But there are multiple different
reasons to retry and this could become much more complex. Keep the
retry simple for now and just sleep to prevent from hogging CPUs.

Patch series "extend vmalloc support for constrained allocations", v2.
Based on a recent discussion with Dave and Neil [1] I have tried to
implement NOFS, NOIO, NOFAIL support for the vmalloc to make life of
kvmalloc users easier.
A requirement for NOFAIL support for kvmalloc was new to me but this
seems to be really needed by the xfs code.
NOFS/NOIO was a known and a long term problem which was hoped to be
handled by the scope API. Those scope should have been used at the
reclaim recursion boundaries both to document them and also to remove
the necessity of NOFS/NOIO constrains for all allocations within that
scope. Instead workarounds were developed to wrap a single allocation
instead (like ceph_kvmalloc).
First patch implements NOFS/NOIO support for vmalloc. The second one
adds NOFAIL support and the third one bundles all together into kvmalloc
and drops ceph_kvmalloc which can use kvmalloc directly now.

This patch (of 4):
vmalloc historically hasn't supported GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests because
page table allocations do not support externally provided gfp mask and
performed GFP_KERNEL like allocations.
Since few years we have scope (memalloc_no{fs,io}_{save,restore}) APIs
to enforce NOFS and NOIO constrains implicitly to all allocators within
the scope. There was a hope that those scopes would be defined on a
higher level when the reclaim recursion boundary starts/stops (e.g.
when a lock required during the memory reclaim is required etc.). It
seems that not all NOFS/NOIO users have adopted this approach and
instead they have taken a workaround approach to wrap a single
[k]vmalloc allocation by a scope API.
These workarounds do not serve the purpose of a better reclaim recursion
documentation and reduction of explicit GFP_NO{FS,IO} usege so let's
just provide them with the semantic they are asking for without a need
for workarounds.
Add support for GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO to vmalloc directly. All internal
allocations already comply with the given gfp_mask. The only current
exception is vmap_pages_range which maps kernel page tables. Infer the
proper scope API based on the given gfp mask.

This reverts commit 2618c60b8b5836 ("dma: make dma pool to use
kmalloc_node").
While working myself into the dmapool code I've found this little odd
kmalloc_node().
What basically happens here is that we allocate the housekeeping
structure on the numa node where the device is attached to. Since the
device is never doing DMA to or from that memory this doesn't seem to
make sense at all.
So while this doesn't seem to cause much harm it's probably cleaner to
revert the change for consistency.

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.
Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.
When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping
We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages.
Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

We have ptep_get_and_clear() and ptep_get_and_clear_full() helpers to
clear PTE from user page tables, but there is no variant for simple
clear of a present PTE from user page tables without using a low level
pte_clear() which can be either native or para-virtualised.
Add a new ptep_clear() that can be used in common code to clear PTEs
from page table. We will need this call later in order to add a hook
for page table check.

Patch series "page table check", v3.
Ensure that some memory corruptions are prevented by checking at the
time of insertion of entries into user page tables that there is no
illegal sharing.
We have recently found a problem [1] that existed in kernel since 4.14.
The problem was caused by broken page ref count and led to memory
leaking from one process into another. The problem was accidentally
detected by studying a dump of one process and noticing that one page
contains memory that should not belong to this process.
There are some other page->_refcount related problems that were recently
fixed: [2], [3] which potentially could also lead to illegal sharing.
In addition to hardening refcount [4] itself, this work is an attempt to
prevent this class of memory corruption issues.
It uses a simple state machine that is independent from regular MM logic
to check for illegal sharing at time pages are inserted and removed from
page tables.

This patch (of 4):
There are a few places where we first update the entry in the user page
table, and later change the struct page to indicate that this is
anonymous or file page.
In most places, however, we first configure the page metadata and then
insert entries into the page table. Page table check, will use the
information from struct page to verify the type of entry is inserted.
Change the order in all places to first update struct page, and later to
update page table.
This means that we first do calls that may change the type of page (anon
or file):
page_move_anon_rmap
page_add_anon_rmap
do_page_add_anon_rmap
page_add_new_anon_rmap
page_add_file_rmap
hugepage_add_anon_rmap
hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap
And after that do calls that add entries to the page table:
set_huge_pte_at
set_pte_at

With exit_mmap holding mmap_write_lock during free_pgtables call,
process_mrelease does not need to elevate mm->mm_users in order to
prevent exit_mmap from destrying pagetables while __oom_reap_task_mm is
walking the VMA tree. The change prevents process_mrelease from calling
the last mmput, which can lead to waiting for IO completion in exit_aio.

oom-reaper and process_mrelease system call should protect against races
with exit_mmap which can destroy page tables while they walk the VMA
tree. oom-reaper protects from that race by setting MMF_OOM_VICTIM and
by relying on exit_mmap to set MMF_OOM_SKIP before taking and releasing
mmap_write_lock. process_mrelease has to elevate mm->mm_users to
prevent such race.
Both oom-reaper and process_mrelease hold mmap_read_lock when walking
the VMA tree. The locking rules and mechanisms could be simpler if
exit_mmap takes mmap_write_lock while executing destructive operations
such as free_pgtables.
Change exit_mmap to hold the mmap_write_lock when calling unlock_range,
free_pgtables and remove_vma. Note also that because oom-reaper checks
VM_LOCKED flag, unlock_range() should not be allowed to race with it.
Before this patch, remove_vma used to be called with no locks held,
however with fput being executed asynchronously and vm_ops->close not
being allowed to hold mmap_lock (it is called from __split_vma with
mmap_sem held for write), changing that should be fine.
In most cases this lock should be uncontended. Previously, Kirill
reported ~4% regression caused by a similar change [1]. We reran the
same test and although the individual results are quite noisy, the
percentiles show lower regression with 1.6% being the worst case [2].
The change allows oom-reaper and process_mrelease to execute safely
under mmap_read_lock without worries that exit_mmap might destroy page
tables from under them.

linux/mm_types.h should only define structure definitions, to make it
cheap to include elsewhere. The atomic_t helper function definitions
are particularly large, so it's better to move the helpers using those
into the existing linux/mm_inline.h and only include that where needed.
As a follow-up, we may want to go through all the indirect includes in
mm_types.h and reduce them as much as possible.

The patch to add anonymous vma names causes a build failure in some

include/linux/mm_types.h:924:37: error: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

| ^~~~~~
include/linux/mm_types.h:22:1: note: 'strcmp' is defined in header '<string.h>'; did you forget to '#include <string.h>'?
This should not really be part of linux/mm_types.h in the first place,
as that header is meant to only contain structure defintions and need a
minimum set of indirect includes itself.
While the header clearly includes more than it should at this point,
let's not make it worse by including string.h as well, which would pull
in the expensive (compile-speed wise) fortify-string logic.
Move the new functions into a separate header that only needs to be
included in a couple of locations.

While forking a process with high number (64K) of named anonymous vmas
the overhead caused by strdup() is noticeable. Experiments with ARM64
Android device show up to 40% performance regression when forking a
process with 64k unpopulated anonymous vmas using the max name lengths
vs the same process with the same number of anonymous vmas having no
name.
Introduce anon_vma_name refcounted structure to avoid the overhead of
copying vma names during fork() and when splitting named anonymous vmas.
When a vma is duplicated, instead of copying the name we increment the
refcount of this structure. Multiple vmas can point to the same
anon_vma_name as long as they increment the refcount. The name member
of anon_vma_name structure is assigned at structure allocation time and
is never changed. If vma name changes then the refcount of the original
structure is dropped, a new anon_vma_name structure is allocated to hold
the new name and the vma pointer is updated to point to the new
structure.
With this approach the fork() performance regressions is reduced 3-4x
times and with usecases using more reasonable number of VMAs (a few
thousand) the regressions is not measurable.

In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use. At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.
On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).
If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.
Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.
This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:<name>].
Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling
prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)
Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.
The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.
CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.
The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.
One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.
This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):
PR_SET_VMA
Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
size specified in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.
Currently, arg2 must be one of:
PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
can contain only printable ascii characters (including
space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

This patch (of 3):
Refactor the madvise syscall to allow for parts of it to be reused by a
prctl syscall that affects vmas.
Move the code that walks vmas in a virtual address range into a function
that takes a function pointer as a parameter. The only caller for now
is sys_madvise, which uses it to call madvise_vma_behavior on each vma,
but the next patch will add an additional caller.
Move handling all vma behaviors inside madvise_behavior, and rename it
to madvise_vma_behavior.
Move the code that updates the flags on a vma, including splitting or
merging the vma as necessary, into a new function called
madvise_update_vma. The next patch will add support for updating a new
anon_name field as well.

Since commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple
times") allowed VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times, the
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit of fault_flag will not be changed in the page
fault path, so the following check is no longer needed:
flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
So just remove it.

The kvmalloc* allocation functions can fallback to vmalloc allocations
and more often on long running machines. In addition the kernel does
have __GFP_ACCOUNT kvmalloc* calls. So, often on long running machines,
the memory.stat does not tell the complete picture which type of memory
is charged to the memcg. So add a per-memcg vmalloc stat.

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version,
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that,
in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Commit 11192d9c124d ("memcg: flush stats only if updated") added
tracking of memcg stats updates which is used by the readers to flush
only if the updates are over a certain threshold. However each
individual update can correspond to a large value change for a given
stat. For example adding or removing a hugepage to an LRU changes the
stat by thp_nr_pages (512 on x86_64).
Treating the update related to THP as one can keep the stat off, in
theory, by (thp_nr_pages * nr_cpus * CHARGE_BATCH) before flush.
To handle such scenarios, this patch adds consideration of the stat
update value as well instead of just the update event. In addition let
the asyn flusher unconditionally flush the stats to put time limit on
the stats skew and hopefully a lot less readers would need to flush.
