With support for split pmd lock, we use pmd page pmd_huge_pte pointer
to store the deposited page table. In those config when we move page
tables we need to make sure we move the deposited page table to the
correct pmd page. Otherwise this can result in crash when we withdraw
of deposited page table because we can find the pmd_huge_pte NULL.

eg:

  __split_huge_pmd+0x1070/0x1940
  __split_huge_pmd+0xe34/0x1940 (unreliable)
  vma_adjust_trans_huge+0x110/0x1c0
  __vma_adjust+0x2b4/0x9b0
  __split_vma+0x1b8/0x280
  __do_munmap+0x13c/0x550
  sys_mremap+0x220/0x7e0
  system_call+0x5c/0x70

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Patch series "Do not touch pages in hot-remove path", v2.

This patchset aims for two things:

 1) A better definition about offline and hot-remove stage
 2) Solving bugs where we can access non-initialized pages
    during hot-remove operations [2] [3].

This is achieved by moving all page/zone handling to the offline
stage, so we do not need to access pages when hot-removing memory.

[2] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10547445/
[3] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg161316.html

This patch (of 5):

This is a preparation for the following-up patches.  The idea of passing
the nid is that it will allow us to get rid of the zone parameter
afterwards.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Mitigations for Spectre v2 on some Freescale (NXP) CPUs.

   - A large series adding support for pass-through of Nvidia V100 GPUs
     to guests on Power9.

   - Another large series to enable hardware assistance for TLB table
     walk on MPC8xx CPUs.

   - Some preparatory changes to our DMA code, to make way for further
     cleanups from Christoph.

   - Several fixes for our Transactional Memory handling discovered by
     fuzzing the signal return path.

   - Support for generating our system call table(s) from a text file
     like other architectures.

   - A fix to our page fault handler so that instead of generating a
     WARN_ON_ONCE, user accesses of kernel addresses instead print a
     ratelimited and appropriately scary warning.

   - A cosmetic change to make our unhandled page fault messages more
     similar to other arches and also more compact and informative.

   - Freescale updates from Scott:
       "Highlights include elimination of legacy clock bindings use from
        dts files, an 83xx watchdog handler, fixes to old dts interrupt
        errors, and some minor cleanup."

  And many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

  Thanks to: Alexandre Belloni, Alexey Kardashevskiy, Andrew Donnellan,

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Mitigations for Spectre v2 on some Freescale (NXP) CPUs.

   - A large series adding support for pass-through of Nvidia V100 GPUs
     to guests on Power9.

   - Another large series to enable hardware assistance for TLB table
     walk on MPC8xx CPUs.

   - Some preparatory changes to our DMA code, to make way for further
     cleanups from Christoph.

   - Several fixes for our Transactional Memory handling discovered by
     fuzzing the signal return path.

   - Support for generating our system call table(s) from a text file
     like other architectures.

   - A fix to our page fault handler so that instead of generating a
     WARN_ON_ONCE, user accesses of kernel addresses instead print a
     ratelimited and appropriately scary warning.

   - A cosmetic change to make our unhandled page fault messages more
     similar to other arches and also more compact and informative.

   - Freescale updates from Scott:
       "Highlights include elimination of legacy clock bindings use from
        dts files, an 83xx watchdog handler, fixes to old dts interrupt
        errors, and some minor cleanup."

  And many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

This new memory does not have page structs as it is not plugged to
the host so gup() will fail anyway.

This adds 2 helpers:
- mm_iommu_newdev() to preregister the "memory device" memory so
the rest of API can still be used;
- mm_iommu_is_devmem() to know if the physical address is one of thise
new regions which we must avoid unpinning of.

This adds @mm to tce_page_is_contained() and iommu_tce_xchg() to test
if the memory is device memory to avoid pfn_to_page().

This adds a check for device memory in mm_iommu_ua_mark_dirty_rm() which
does delayed pages dirtying.

<title>powerpc/mm/iommu/vfio_spapr_tce: Change mm_iommu_get to reference a region</title>

Normally mm_iommu_get() should add a reference and mm_iommu_put() should
remove it. However historically mm_iommu_find() does the referencing and
mm_iommu_get() is doing allocation and referencing.

We are going to add another helper to preregister device memory so
instead of having mm_iommu_new() (which pre-registers the normal memory
and references the region), we need separate helpers for pre-registering
and referencing.

This renames:
- mm_iommu_get to mm_iommu_new;
- mm_iommu_find to mm_iommu_get.

This changes mm_iommu_get() to reference the region so the name now
reflects what it does.

This removes the check for exact match from mm_iommu_new() as we want it
to fail on existing regions; mm_iommu_get() should be used instead.
