mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated pages

For large systems, the overhead of vmemmap pages for hugetlb is
substantial. It's about 1.5% of memory, which is about 45G for a 3T
system. If you want to configure most of that system for hugetlb (e.g.
to use as backing memory for VMs), there is a chance of running out of
memory on boot, even though you know that the 45G will become available
later.

To avoid this scenario, and since it's a waste to first allocate and then
free that 45G during boot, do pre-HVO for hugetlb bootmem allocated pages
('gigantic' pages).

pre-HVO is done by adding functions that are called from
sparse_init_nid_early and sparse_init_nid_late. The first is called
before memmap allocation, so it takes care of allocating memmap HVO-style.
The second verifies that all bootmem pages look good, specifically it
checks that they do not intersect with multiple zones. This can only be
done from sparse_init_nid_late path, when zones have been initialized.

The hugetlb page size must be aligned to the section size, and aligned to
the size of memory described by the number of page structures contained in
one PMD (since pre-HVO is not prepared to split PMDs). This should be
true for most 'gigantic' pages, it is for 1G pages on x86, where both of
these alignment requirements are 128M.

This will only have an effect if hugetlb_bootmem_alloc was called early in
boot. If not, it won't do anything, and HVO for bootmem hugetlb pages
works as before.

mm/sparse: add vmemmap_*_hvo functions

Add a few functions to enable early HVO:

vmemmap_populate_hvo
vmemmap_undo_hvo
vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo

The populate and undo functions are expected to be used in early init,
from the sparse_init_nid_early() function. The wrprotect function is to
be used, potentially, later.

To implement these functions, mostly re-use the existing compound pages
vmemmap logic used by DAX. vmemmap_populate_address has its argument
changed a bit in this commit: the page structure passed in to be reused in
the mapping is replaced by a PFN and a flag. The flag indicates whether
an extra ref should be taken on the vmemmap page containing the head page
structure. Taking the ref is appropriate to for DAX / ZONE_DEVICE, but
not for HugeTLB HVO.

The HugeTLB vmemmap optimization maps tail page structure pages read-only.
The vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo function that does this is implemented
separately, because it cannot be guaranteed that reserved page structures
will not be write accessed during memory initialization. Even with
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, they might still be written to (if they
are at the bottom of a zone). So, vmemmap_populate_hvo leaves the tail
page structure pages RW initially, and then later during initialization,
after memmap init is fully done, vmemmap_wrprotect_hvo must be called to
finish the job.

Subsequent commits will use these functions for early HugeTLB HVO.

mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at boot

Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is

mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at boot

Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is
initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized.
They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively.

This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page
structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Specifically,
hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and
resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later
(and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the
process).

Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external
use.

In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g.
they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already.

The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit.

Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to
use it.

The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT,
which is selected if an architecture-specific option,
ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set. In the future, if other
subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion.

The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and
the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h).
Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling
options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT.

Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do
have room.

LoongArch: Set initial pte entry with PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel space

There are two pages in one TLB entry on LoongArch system. For kernel
space, it requires both two pte entries (buddies) with PAGE_GLOBAL bit
set, otherwise HW treats it as non-global tlb, there will be potential
problems if tlb entry for kernel space is not global. Such as fail to
flush kernel tlb with the function local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() which
supposed only flush tlb with global bit.

Kernel address space areas include percpu, vmalloc, vmemmap, fixmap and
kasan areas. For these areas both two consecutive page table entries
should be enabled with PAGE_GLOBAL bit. So with function set_pte() and
pte_clear(), pte buddy entry is checked and set besides its own pte
entry. However it is not atomic operation to set both two pte entries,
there is problem with test_vmalloc test case.

So function kernel_pte_init() is added to init a pte table when it is
created for kernel address space, and the default initial pte value is
PAGE_GLOBAL rather than zero at beginning. Then only its own pte entry
need update with function set_pte() and pte_clear(), nothing to do with
the pte buddy entry.

Currently, when memory is hot-plugged or hot-removed the accounting is
done based on the assumption that memmap is allocated from the same node
as the hot-plugged/hot-removed memory, which is not always the case.

In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory
that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually
performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and
also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use
pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid.

Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead.

For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that
memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either
during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global
mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations.

Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and
nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the
units are in page count.

mm: report per-page metadata information

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.

This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:

Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE

Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE

Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE

Utility for userspace:

Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.

Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).

page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

mm: ptep_get() conversion

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

mm/vmemmap/devdax: fix kernel crash when probing devdax devices

commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for
compound devmaps") added support for using optimized vmmemap for devdax
devices. But how vmemmap mappings are created are architecture specific.
For example, powerpc with hash translation doesn't have vmemmap mappings
in init_mm page table instead they are bolted table entries in the
hardware page table

vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() used by vmemmap optimization code is not
aware of these architecture-specific mapping. Hence allow architecture to
opt for this feature. I selected architectures supporting
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP option as also supporting this feature.

This patch fixes the below crash on ppc64.

When I first introduced vmemmap manipulation functions related to HugeTLB,
I thought those functions may be reused by other modules (e.g. using
similar approach to optimize vmemmap pages, unfortunately, the DAX used
the same approach but does not use those functions). After two years, we
didn't see any other users. So move those functions to hugetlb_vmemmap.c.

Higher order allocations for vmemmap pages from buddy allocator must be
able to be treated as indepdenent small pages as they can be freed
individually by the caller. There is no problem for higher order vmemmap
pages allocated at boot time since each individual small page will be
initialized at boot time. However, it will be an issue for memory hotplug
case since those higher order vmemmap pages are allocated from buddy
allocator without initializing each individual small page's refcount. The
system will panic in put_page_testzero() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled
if the vmemmap page is freed.

mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.

Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.

Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.

On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct
pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages.

Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is
worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem.
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

mm/sparse-vmemmap: add a pgmap argument to section activation

Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9.

This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar
approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page"
(now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift
(device-dax).

The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to
reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only
describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and
the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page
and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages,
and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section.
The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6
vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages).

This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured
namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift.

In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down
with compound devmap:

* with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)

* with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)

The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the
series does:

Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very
nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry.

Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings
(also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like
Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a
given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to
the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are
late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no
freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for
hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being
arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the
vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax
case.

[Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of
savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap
page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces
initialization.]

Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with
DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail
pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift).

NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to
~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct
page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G
respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning,
and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs)


This patch (of 5):

In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap
down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is
retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without
pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed.

So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate
functions namely:

sparse_add_section
section_activate
populate_section_memmap
__populate_section_memmap

Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the
vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let
sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick
whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections.

While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().
