The raid_component_add() function was added to the kernel tree via patch
"[SCSI] embryonic RAID class" (2005). Remove this function since it never
has had any callers in the Linux kernel. And also raid_component_release()
is only used in raid_component_add(), so it is also removed.

Use a dynamic calculation to determine the shift value for the internal
timer cyclecounter that will lead to the highest precision frequency
adjustments. Previously used a constant for the shift value assuming all
devices supported by the driver had a nominal frequency of 1GHz. However,
there are devices that operate at different frequencies. The previous shift
value constant would break the PHC functionality for those devices.

Add the comment to explain that while_each_thread(g,t) is not rcu-safe
unless g is stable (e.g. current). Even if g is a group leader and thus
can't exit before t, t or another sub-thread can exec and remove g from
the thread_group list.
The only lockless user of while_each_thread() is first_tid() and it is
fine in that it can't loop forever, yet for_each_thread() looks better and
I am going to change while_each_thread/next_thread.

crash_prepare_elf64_headers() writes into the elfcorehdr an ELF PT_NOTE
for all possible CPUs. As such, subsequent changes to CPUs (ie. hot
un/plug, online/offline) do not need to rewrite the elfcorehdr.
The kimage->file_mode term covers kdump images loaded via the
kexec_file_load() syscall. Since crash_prepare_elf64_headers() wrote the
initial elfcorehdr, no update to the elfcorehdr is needed for CPU changes.
The kimage->elfcorehdr_updated term covers kdump images loaded via the
kexec_load() syscall. At least one memory or CPU change must occur to
cause crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to rewrite the elfcorehdr.
Afterwards, no update to the elfcorehdr is needed for CPU changes.
This code is intentionally *NOT* hoisted into crash_handle_hotplug_event()
as it would prevent the arch-specific handler from running for CPU
changes. This would break PPC, for example, which needs to update other
information besides the elfcorehdr, on CPU changes.

The function crash_prepare_elf64_headers() generates the elfcorehdr which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system for the crash kernel. In
particular, it writes out ELF PT_NOTEs for memory regions and the CPUs in
the system.
With respect to the CPUs, the current implementation utilizes
for_each_present_cpu() which means that as CPUs are added and removed, the
elfcorehdr must again be updated to reflect the new set of CPUs.
The reasoning behind the move to use for_each_possible_cpu(), is:
- At kernel boot time, all percpu crash_notes are allocated for all
possible CPUs; that is, crash_notes are not allocated dynamically
when CPUs are plugged/unplugged. Thus the crash_notes for each
possible CPU are always available.
- The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() creates an ELF PT_NOTE per CPU.
Changing to for_each_possible_cpu() is valid as the crash_notes
pointed to by each CPU PT_NOTE are present and always valid.
Furthermore, examining a common crash processing path of:
kernel panic -> crash kernel -> makedumpfile -> 'crash' analyzer
elfcorehdr /proc/vmcore vmcore
reveals how the ELF CPU PT_NOTEs are utilized:
- Upon panic, each CPU is sent an IPI and shuts itself down, recording
its state in its crash_notes. When all CPUs are shutdown, the
crash kernel is launched with a pointer to the elfcorehdr.
- The crash kernel via linux/fs/proc/vmcore.c does not examine or
use the contents of the PT_NOTEs, it exposes them via /proc/vmcore.
- The makedumpfile utility uses /proc/vmcore and reads the CPU
PT_NOTEs to craft a nr_cpus variable, which is reported in a
header but otherwise generally unused. Makedumpfile creates the
vmcore.
- The 'crash' dump analyzer does not appear to reference the CPU
PT_NOTEs. Instead it looks-up the cpu_[possible|present|onlin]_mask
symbols and directly examines those structure contents from vmcore
memory. From that information it is able to determine which CPUs
are present and online, and locate the corresponding crash_notes.
Said differently, it appears that 'crash' analyzer does not rely
on the ELF PT_NOTEs for CPUs; rather it obtains the information
directly via kernel symbols and the memory within the vmcore.
(There maybe other vmcore generating and analysis tools that do use these
PT_NOTEs, but 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' seems to be the most common
solution.)
This results in the benefit of having all CPUs described in the
elfcorehdr, and therefore reducing the need to re-generate the elfcorehdr
on CPU changes, at the small expense of an additional 56 bytes per PT_NOTE
for not-present-but-possible CPUs.
On systems where kexec_file_load() syscall is utilized, all the above is
valid. On systems where kexec_load() syscall is utilized, there may be
the need for the elfcorehdr to be regenerated once. The reason being that
some archs only populate the 'present' CPUs from the
/sys/devices/system/cpus entries, which the userspace 'kexec' utility uses
to generate the userspace-supplied elfcorehdr. In this situation, one
memory or CPU change will rewrite the elfcorehdr via the
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() function and now all possible CPUs will be
described, just as with kexec_file_load() syscall.

The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace
kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel.
Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent
hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites
it to reflect the hotplug change. That is the desired outcome, however,
at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the
elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is
generated.
Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel
that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the
elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer
appropriately).
To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load():
- a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is
safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr
- the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the
preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer
- The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie.
/sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically
take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and
KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.
This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug
is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load
of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev
rule change looks like:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image
updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place):
Kernel |Kexec
-------+-----+----
Old |Old |New
| a | a
-------+-----+----
New | a | b
-------+-----+----
where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed
modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new'
delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature.
Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image.
For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the
missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec)
does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the
unload-then-reload of the kdump image.
Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel
directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of
the kdump image.
If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no
matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image
continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes.
To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of
kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes. However, the order of the
rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still
function for hotplug as-is.

When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, or off/onlined, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system, must also
be updated.
A new elfcorehdr is generated from the available CPUs and memory and
replaces the existing elfcorehdr. The segment containing the elfcorehdr
is identified at run-time in crash_core:crash_handle_hotplug_event().
No modifications to purgatory (see 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the
segment digest') or boot_params (as the elfcorehdr= capture kernel command
line parameter pointer remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just
elfcorehdr.
For kexec_file_load(), the elfcorehdr segment size is based on NR_CPUS and
CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES in order to accommodate a growing number of CPU
and memory resources.
For kexec_load(), the userspace kexec utility needs to size the elfcorehdr
segment in the same/similar manner.
To accommodate kexec_load() syscall in the absence of kexec_file_load()
syscall support, prepare_elf_headers() and dependents are moved outside of
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.

Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by
userspace. These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for
managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug
changes.
For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/memory directory. For example:
# udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81
looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81':
KERNEL=="memory81"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{online}=="1"
ATTR{phys_device}=="0"
ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051"
ATTR{removable}=="1"
ATTR{state}=="online"
ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable"
looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory':
KERNELS=="memory"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""
ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline"
ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000"
ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example:
# udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0':
KERNEL=="cpu0"
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu"
DRIVER=="processor"
ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600"
ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368"
ATTR{online}=="1"
looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu':
KERNELS=="cpu"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""
ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
ATTRS{isolated}==""
ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191"
ATTRS{nohz_full}==" (null)"
ATTRS{offline}=="4-7"
ATTRS{online}=="0-3"
ATTRS{possible}=="0-7"
ATTRS{present}=="0-3"
With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently
instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels
configured with crash hotplug support.
For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL
system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file):
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if
crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated
unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped.
CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options. If an architecture
supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the
/sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but
the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be
present. Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot
un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus
allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the
unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

When a crash kernel is loaded via the kexec_file_load() syscall, the
kernel places the various segments (ie crash kernel, crash initrd,
boot_params, elfcorehdr, purgatory, etc) in memory. For those
architectures that utilize purgatory, a hash digest of the segments is
calculated for integrity checking. The digest is embedded into the
purgatory image prior to placing in memory.
Updates to the elfcorehdr in response to CPU and memory changes would
cause the purgatory integrity checking to fail (at crash time, and no
vmcore created). Therefore, the elfcorehdr segment is explicitly excluded
from the purgatory digest, enabling updates to the elfcorehdr while also
avoiding the need to recompute the hash digest and reload purgatory.

To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash
elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/ onlining).
The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the
vmcore.
To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism
via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug
elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other
cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN.
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a
new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state
in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very
close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a
unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an
actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr
would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the
CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by
crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly
omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'.
To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().
The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the
elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process,
the kexec_lock is held.

Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28.
Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur,
either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be
updated.
The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and
any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory
regions.
The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of
the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this
activity to userspace.
This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the
CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot
un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs
important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and
then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate
elfcorehdr update.
Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers()
to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that
enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline
performance of elfcorehdr updates.
In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new
elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with
userspace needed.
To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple
of minor changes to userspace:
- Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes.
Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for
CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace
unload-then-reload of kdump.
- Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel:
Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to:
standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s"
which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall.
This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec
userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is
posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html
To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then
change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with
--hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the
addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools
patch.
This patch (of 8):
The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load()
syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code
need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are
moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c.
In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so
that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly.
No functionality change intended.

Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs
disabled, e.g. from aio_complete().
But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on NIOS2
unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks.
Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore() for the
flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.

There are many files in mm/ that contain kernel-doc which is not
currently published on kernel.org. Some of it is easily categorisable,
but most of it is going into the miscellaneous documentation section to
be organised later.
Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with
build errors. Or they're nommu.c which duplicates documentation from
"real" MMU systems. Those files are noted with a # mark (although really
anything which isn't a recognised directive would do to prevent inclusion)

Patch series "Improve mm documentation".
If you build with W=1, kernel-doc complains about tlb_flush_rmaps(). Then
I ran scripts/find-unused-docs.sh against mm/ and found a large number of
files which weren't included in the ReST documentation. I fixed up a
couple of them, and added all those without erros to the rst files.
There's a lot more work to do to organise all of this, but at least now if
we have documentation that refers to these functions, we'll get a nice
link to them.

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order().
The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.
If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its ->huge_fault method.

Patch series "Change calling convention for ->huge_fault", v2.
There are two unrelated changes to the calling convention for
->huge_fault. I've bundled them together to help people notice the
change. The first is to improve scalability of DAX page faults by
allowing them to be handled under the VMA lock. The second is to remove
enum page_entry_size since it's really unnecessary. The changelogs and
documentation updates hopefully work to that end.
This patch (of 3):
Allow this to be used in generic code. Also add PUD_ORDER.

Patch series "mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP
+ cleanups".
This series stops using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP, replaces
folio->private by folio->swap for swapcache folios, and starts using
"new_folio" for tail pages that we are splitting to remove the usage of
page->private for swapcache handling completely.
This patch (of 4):
Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to just
unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios.
The remaining usage of the private field for THP_SWAP is in the THP
splitting code (mm/huge_memory.c), that we'll handle separately later.
Update the THP_SWAP documentation and sanity checks in mm_types.h and
__split_huge_page_tail().

holding the mmap_lock anymore. Remove the stale parts of the comments,
but leave the behavior as-is - letting core dumping block on userfault
handling would be a bad idea and could lead to deadlocks if the dumping
process was handling its own userfaults.

Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead of
once per page. This batches the updates to mm counters and the rmap.
With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing
to read fault testing. Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got
15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes
running against xfs.
Perf data collected before/after the change:
18.73%--page_add_file_rmap

--11.60%--__mod_lruvec_page_state

set_pte_range() allows to setup page table entries for a specific
range. It takes advantage of batched rmap update for large folio.
It now takes care of calling update_mmu_cache_range().

folio_add_file_rmap_range() allows to add pte mapping to a specific range
of file folio. Comparing to page_add_file_rmap(), it batched updates
__lruvec_stat for large folio.

filemap_map_folio_range() maps partial/full folio. Comparing to original
filemap_map_pages(), it updates refcount once per folio instead of per
page and gets minor performance improvement for large folio.
With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing
to read fault testing. Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]),
got 2% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96

Now that all architectures are converted, we can remove the PFN_PTE_SHIFT
ifdef and we can define set_pte_at() unconditionally.

Move the default (no-op) implementation of flush_icache_pages() to
<linux/cacheflush.h> from <asm-generic/cacheflush.h>. Remove the
flush_icache_page() wrapper from each architecture into
<linux/cacheflush.h>.
