a516403787 fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions 
Patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard
regions", v2.

Introduce the PAGE_IS_GUARD flag in the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to expose
information about guard regions.  This allows userspace tools, such as
CRIU, to detect and handle guard regions.

Currently, CRIU utilizes PAGEMAP_SCAN as a more efficient alternative to
parsing /proc/pid/pagemap.  Without this change, guard regions are
incorrectly reported as swap-anon regions, leading CRIU to attempt dumping
them and subsequently failing.

The series includes updates to the documentation and selftests to reflect
the new functionality.


This patch (of 3):

Introduce the PAGE_IS_GUARD flag in the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to expose
information about guard regions.  This allows userspace tools, such as
CRIU, to detect and handle guard regions.

eb16876971 fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) 
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is true
-- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when it once
was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.

This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.

As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it.  So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

ae4192b769 fs/proc/page: remove per-page mapcount dependency for /proc/kpagecount (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) 
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

For large folios, we'll return the per-page average mapcount within the
folio, whereby we round to the closest integer when calculating the
average: however, we'll always return at least 1 if the folio is mapped.

So assuming a folio with 512 pages, the average would be:
* 0 if not pages are mapped
* 1 if there are 1 .. 767 per-page mappings
* 2 if there are 767 .. 1279 per-page mappings
...

For hugetlb folios and for large folios that are fully mapped into all
address spaces, there is no change.

We'll make use of this helper in other context next.

As an alternative, we could simply return 0 for non-hugetlb large folios,
or disable this legacy interface with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

But the information exposed by this interface can still be valuable, and
frequently we deal with fully-mapped large folios where the average
corresponds to the actual page mapcount.  So we'll leave it like this for
now and document the new behavior.

Note: this interface is likely not very relevant for performance.  If ever
required, we could try doing a rather expensive rmap walk to collect
precisely how often this folio page is mapped.

8e2f2aeb8b fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap 
Patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap".

Currently there is no means of determining whether a given page in a
mapping range is designated a guard region (as installed via madvise()
using the MADV_GUARD_INSTALL flag).

This is generally not an issue, but in some instances users may wish to
determine whether this is the case.

This series adds this ability via /proc/$pid/pagemap, updates the
documentation and adds a self test to assert that this functions
correctly.


This patch (of 2):

Currently there is no means by which users can determine whether a given
page in memory is in fact a guard region, that is having had the
MADV_GUARD_INSTALL madvise() flag applied to it.

This is intentional, as to provide this information in VMA metadata would
contradict the intent of the feature (providing a means to change fault
behaviour at a page table level rather than a VMA level), and would
require VMA metadata operations to scan page tables, which is
unacceptable.

In many cases, users have no need to reflect and determine what regions
have been designated guard regions, as it is the user who has established
them in the first place.

But in some instances, such as monitoring software, or software that
relies upon being able to ascertain the nature of mappings within a remote
process for instance, it becomes useful to be able to determine which
pages have the guard region marker applied.

This patch makes use of an unused pagemap bit (58) to provide this
information.

This patch updates the documentation at the same time as making the change
such that the implementation of the feature and the documentation of it
are tied together.

4c8763e84a kpageflags: detect isolated KPF_THP folios 
When folio is isolated, the PG_lru bit is cleared.  So the PG_lru check in
stable_page_flags() will miss this kind of isolated folios.  Use
folio_test_large_rmappable() instead to also include isolated folios.

Since pagecache supports large folios and the introduction of mTHP, the
semantics of KPF_THP have been expanded, now it indicates not only
PMD-sized THP.  Update related documentation to clearly state that KPF_THP
indicates multiple order THPs.

478fd0d8ec Documentation/admin-guide/mm/pagemap.rst: drop "Using pagemap to do something useful" 
That example was added in 2008.  In 2015, we restricted access to the PFNs
in the pagemap to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, making that approach quite less usable.

It's 2024 now, and using that racy and low-lewel mechanism to calculate
the USS should not be considered a good example anymore.  /proc/$pid/smaps
and /proc/$pid/smaps_rollup can do a much better job without any of that
low-level handling.

Let's just drop that example.

e6a9a2cbc1 fs/proc/task_mmu: report SOFT_DIRTY bits through the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl 
The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl returns information regarding page table entries. 
It is more efficient compared to reading pagemap files.  CRIU can start to
utilize this ioctl, but it needs info about soft-dirty bits to track
memory changes.

We are aware of a new method for tracking memory changes implemented in
the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl.  For CRIU, the primary advantage of this method is
its usability by unprivileged users.  However, it is not feasible to
transparently replace the soft-dirty tracker with the new one.  The main
problem here is userfault descriptors that have to be preserved between
pre-dump iterations.  It means criu continues supporting the soft-dirty
method to avoid breakage for current users.  The new method will be
implemented as a separate feature.

d88e2a2bd2 mm, pagemap: remove SLOB and SLQB from comments and documentation 
SLOB has been removed and SLQB never merged, so remove their mentions
from comments and documentation of pagemap.

In stable_page_flags() also correct an outdated comment mentioning that
PageBuddy() means a page->_refcount of -1, and remove compound_head()
from the PageSlab() call, as that's already implicitly there thanks to
PF_NO_TAIL.

00cba6b60f docs/admin-guide/mm: remove useless markup 
It is enough to use a file name to cross-reference another rst document.

Jon says:
  The right things will happen in the HTML output, readers of the
  plain-text will know immediately where to go, and we don't have to add
  the label clutter.

Drop reference markup and unnecessary labels and use plain file names.

0d16cfd46b Docs/admin-guide/mm/pagemap: wordsmith page flags descriptions 
Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in
assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below:

    7 - SLAB
       page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator
       When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head

Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second
sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below.

    7 - SLAB
    page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When
                                                                       ^
    compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head
    page; SLOB will not flag it at all.

This change makes it more natural and consistent with other parts in the
rendered version.

cbbb69d3c4 Documentation: update pagemap with shmem exceptions 
This patch follows the discussions on previous documentation patch
threads [1][2].  It presents the exception case of shared memory
management from the pagemap's point of view.  It briefly describes what
is missing, why it is missing and alternatives to the pagemap for page
info retrieval in user space.

In short, the kernel does not keep track of PTEs for swapped out shared
pages within the processes that references them.  Thus, the
proc/pid/pagemap tool cannot print the swap destination of the shared
memory pages, instead setting the pagemap entry to zero for both
non-allocated and swapped out pages.  This can create confusion for
users who need information on swapped out pages.

The reasons why maintaining the PTEs of all swapped out shared pages
among all processes while maintaining similar performance is not a
trivial task, or a desirable change, have been discussed extensively
[1][3][4][5].  There are also arguments for why this arguably missing
information should eventually be exposed to the user in either a future
pagemap patch, or by an alternative tool.

behaviour.

ca215086b1 mm: convert PG_balloon to PG_offline 
PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for
pages inflated in virtio-balloon.  Nowadays, it is only a marker that a
page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.

We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
(e.g.  used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).

We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile.  But
instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later
on.

Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline.  This is an indicator that the page is
logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
(e.g.  a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for
the guest to dump an unused page).  We can then e.g.  exclude such pages
from dumps.

We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm
(and for now the semantics stay the same).  In following patches, we
will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers.  While at it,
document PGTABLE.

7f1d23e607 tools/vm/page-types.c: include shared map counts 
Add a new flag that will read kpagecount for each PFN and print out the
number of times the page is mapped along with the flags in the listing
view.

This information is useful in understanding and optimizing memory usage.
Identifying pages which are not shared allows us to focus on adjusting
the memory layout or access patterns for the sole owning process.
Knowing the number of processes that share a page tells us how many
other times we must make the same adjustments or how many processes to
potentially disable.

Truncated sample output:

  voffset map-cnt offset  len     flags
