mm: support only one page_type per page

2024-09-04T04:15:43+00:00

By using a few values in the top byte, users of page_type can store up to
24 bits of additional data in page_type.  It also reduces the code size as
(with replacement of READ_ONCE() with data_race()), the kernel can check
just a single byte.  eg:

ffffffff811e3a79:       8b 47 30                mov    0x30(%rdi),%eax
ffffffff811e3a7c:       55                      push   %rbp
ffffffff811e3a7d:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a80:       25 00 00 00 82          and    $0x82000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a85:       3d 00 00 00 80          cmp    $0x80000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a8a:       74 4d                   je     ffffffff811e3ad9 

becomes:

ffffffff811e3a69:       80 7f 33 f5             cmpb   $0xf5,0x33(%rdi)
ffffffff811e3a6d:       55                      push   %rbp
ffffffff811e3a6e:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a71:       74 4d                   je     ffffffff811e3ac0 

replacing three instructions with one.

mm: free up PG_slab

2024-04-26T03:56:00+00:00

Reclaim the Slab page flag by using a spare bit in PageType.  We are
perennially short of page flags for various purposes, and now that the
original SLAB allocator has been retired, SLUB does not use the
mapcount/page_type field.  This lets us remove a number of special cases
for ignoring mapcount on Slab pages.

mm: turn folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType

2024-04-25T02:34:26+00:00

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs. 
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.

Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.

In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

crash_core: export vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled

2024-03-05T01:01:27+00:00

In memory_model.h, if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed, kernel will
use vmemmap to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn, and kernel will not use
the "classic sparse" to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn.

So export the vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed.  This
makes the user applications (crash, etc) get faster
pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn operations too.

crash: split vmcoreinfo exporting code out from crash_core.c

2024-02-24T01:48:22+00:00

Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.

And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
 and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.

And also do renaming as follows:
 - arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.

And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.
