<content type='text'>
Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dcd0 ("xen: remove tmem driver").

Correct the migration stats for hugetlb with using compound_nr() instead
of thp_nr_pages(), meanwhile change 'nr_failed_pages' to record the
number of normal pages failed to migrate, including THP and hugetlb, and
'nr_succeeded' will record the number of normal pages migrated
successfully.

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.

Add a new document to explain Virtually Mapped Kernel Stack Support.
This is a compilation of information from the code and original patch
series that introduced the Virtually Mapped Kernel Stacks feature.

This document summarizes the feature and provides details on allocation,
free, and stack overflow handling.  Provides reference to available
tests.
