8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.

3cec82b4fc alpha: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in the alpha headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

92638b4e1b mm: arch: remove indirection level in alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable()
In an upcoming change we would like to add a flag to
GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE so that it would no longer be an OR
of GFP_HIGHUSER and __GFP_MOVABLE. This poses a problem for
alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable() which passes __GFP_MOVABLE
into an arch-specific __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() hook which ORs
in GFP_HIGHUSER.

Since __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is only ever called from
alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(), we can remove one level
of indirection here. Remove __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage(),
make alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable() the hook, and use
GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE in the hook implementations so that they will
pick up the new flag that we are going to add.

36d40290c8 alpha: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM
Patch series "arch, mm: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM", v2.

It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated,
but it is still used by four architectures.  This set replaces
DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and
marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these
architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several
releases.

While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious
and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and
m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do.

On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section
index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is
wasted for unused memory map.

Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least
on arc.

So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts
of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k.  The
details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k).

This patch (of 13):

Enable SPARSEMEM support on alpha and deprecate DISCONTIGMEM.

The required changes are mostly around moving duplicated definitions of
page access and address conversion macros to a common place and making sure
they are available for all memory models.

The DISCONTINGMEM support is marked as BROKEN an will be removed in a
couple of releases.

c62da0c35d mm/vma: define a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
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.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

024b246ed2 alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asm
Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works,
I'm just committing it.

This is a pure move:

	mkdir arch/alpha/include
	git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm

with no other changes.
