<id>urn:sha1:78e7c5af080b86e9f28afac5a8307ddab1d2c1a3</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page
table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they
get build in generic MM without a config check.  This creates two
generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much
code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure.  arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a
C file just to prevent a build failure.

<title>mm/vma: define a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.

<title>asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:630f289b7114c0e68519cbd634e2b7ec804ca8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
    (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild &gt; $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
	xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
	mandatory=yes

	for arch in $arches
	do
		if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &amp;&amp;
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" &gt;&gt; $tmpfile

		for arch in $arches
		do
			sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
		done
	fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile &gt;&gt; include/asm-generic/Kbuild

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

<title>mm/vmalloc: Add empty &lt;asm/vmalloc.h&gt; headers and use them from &lt;linux/vmalloc.h&gt;</title>

In the x86 MM code we'd like to untangle various types of historic
header dependency spaghetti, but for this we'd need to pass to
the generic vmalloc code various vmalloc related defines that
customarily come via the &lt;asm/page.h&gt; low level arch header.

<content type='text'>
Various architectures that use asm-generic/io.h still defined their
own default versions of ioremap_nocache, ioremap_wt and ioremap_wc
that point back to plain ioremap directly or indirectly.  Remove these
definitions and rely on asm-generic/io.h instead.  For this to work
the backup ioremap_* defintions needs to be changed to purely cpp
macros instea of inlines to cover for architectures like openrisc
that only define ioremap after including &lt;asm-generic/io.h&gt;.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b4ed71f557e458257e0f71b11969954acb389240</id>
<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.
