vmw_balloon: dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker

In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, use new APIs to
dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker, so that it can be freed
asynchronously via RCU. Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side
critical section when releasing the struct vmballoon.

And we can simply exit vmballoon_init() when registering the shrinker
fails. So the shrinker_registered indication is redundant, just remove it.

mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with names

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.

This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.

In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.

The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.

After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
$ ls

vmw_balloon: Fix offline page marking with compaction

The compaction code already marks pages as offline when it enqueues
pages in the ballooned page list, and removes the mapping when the pages
are removed from the list. VMware balloon also updates the flags,
instead of letting the balloon-compaction logic handle it, which causes
the assertion VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageOffline(page)) to fire, when
__ClearPageOffline is called the second time. This causes the following
crash.

vmw_balloon: Split refused pages

The hypervisor might refuse to inflate pages. While the balloon driver
handles this scenario correctly, a refusal to inflate a 2MB pages might
cause the same page to be allocated again later just for its inflation
to be refused again. This wastes energy and time.

To avoid this situation, split the 2MB page to 4KB pages, and then try
to inflate each one individually. Most of the 4KB pages out of the 2MB
should be inflated successfully, and the balloon is likely to prevent
the scenario of repeated refused inflation.

vmw_balloon: Add memory shrinker

Add a shrinker to the VMware balloon to prevent out-of-memory events.
We reuse the deflate logic for this matter. Deadlocks should not happen,
as no memory allocation is performed while the locks of the
communication (batch/page) and page-list are taken. In the unlikely
event in which the configuration semaphore is taken for write we bail
out and fail gracefully (causing processes to be killed).

Once the shrinker is called, inflation is postponed for few seconds.
The timeout is updated without any lock, but this should not cause any
races, as it is written and read atomically.

This feature is disabled by default, since it might cause performance
degradation.

vmw_balloon: Compaction support

Add support for compaction for VMware balloon. Since unlike the virtio
balloon, we also support huge-pages, which are not going through
compaction, we keep these pages in vmballoon and handle this list
separately. We use the same lock to protect both lists, as this lock is
not supposed to be contended.

Doing so also eliminates the need for the page_size lists. We update the
accounting as needed to reflect inflation, deflation and migration to be
reflected in vmstat.

Since VMware balloon now provides statistics for inflation, deflation
and migration in vmstat, select MEMORY_BALLOON in Kconfig.

Hypervisors that support 16TB of memory or more will report that this

vmw_balloon: rework the inflate and deflate loops

In preparation for supporting compaction and OOM notification, this
patch reworks the inflate/deflate loops. The main idea is to separate
the allocation, communication with the hypervisor, and the handling of
errors from each other. Doing will allow us to perform concurrent
inflation and deflation, excluding the actual communication with the
hypervisor.

To do so, we need to get rid of the remaining global state that is kept
in the balloon struct, specifically the refuse_list. When the VM
communicates with the hypervisor, it does not free or put back pages
to the balloon list and instead only moves the pages whose status
indicated failure into a refuse_list on the stack. Once the operation
completes, the inflation or deflation functions handle the list
appropriately.

As we do that, we can consolidate the communication with the hypervisor
for both the lock and unlock operations into a single function. We also
reuse the deflation function for popping the balloon.

As a preparation for preventing races, we hold a spinlock when the
communication actually takes place, and use atomic operations for
updating the balloon size. The balloon page list is still racy and will
be handled in the next patch.

vmw_balloon: stats rework

To allow the balloon statistics to be updated concurrently, we change
the statistics to be held per core and aggregate it when needed.

To avoid the memory overhead of keeping the statistics per core, and
since it is likely not used by most users, we start updating the
statistics only after the first use. A read-write semaphore is used to
protect the statistics initialization and avoid races. This semaphore is
(and will) be used to protect configuration changes during reset.

While we are at it, address some other issues: change the statistics
update to inline functions instead of define; use ulong for saving the
statistics; and clean the statistics printouts.

Note that this patch changes the format of the outputs. If there are any
automatic tools that use the statistics, they might fail.

vmw_balloon: simplify vmballoon_send_get_target()

As we want to leave as little as possible on the global balloon
structure, to avoid possible future races, we want to get rid sysinfo.
We can actually get the total_ram directly, and simplify the logic of
vmballoon_send_get_target() a little.

While we are doing that, let's return int and avoid mistakes due to
bool/int conversions.

The name of the macro'd VMW_BALLOON_2M_SHIFT is misleading. The value
reflects 2M huge-page order. Unfortunately, we cannot use
HPAGE_PMD_ORDER, since it is not defined when transparent huge-pages are
off, so we need to define our own one.

Rename it to VMW_BALLOON_2M_ORDER. No functional change.
