damon_set_regions() assumes the input ranges are sorted by the address and
don't overlap each other. Hence the assumption was initially to be
explicitly validated. But commit 97d482f459 ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse
damon_set_regions() for regions setting") has mistakenly removed the
validation.
This can make DAMON behave in unexpected ways. At the best, the
monitoring results snapshot will just look weird since there will be
overlapping regions. DAMOS will also work weirdly, applying the same
action multiple times for overlapping regions, and make DAMOS quota weird.
More seriously, depending on the setup and regions updates sequence,
negative size regions can be made. It will trigger WARN_ONCE() if the
kernel is built with CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y. Depending on the
monitoring results, the negative size region can further trigger division
by zero in damon_merge_two_regions().
Note that some of the consequences including the WARN_ONCE() and the
divide by zero depend on commits that were introduced after the root cause
commit 97d482f459 ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse damon_set_regions() for
regions setting").
Fix the problems by checking the assumption and returning an error if
the input ranges don't meet the assumption.

DAMON core logic assumes zero length regions don't exist. However, a few
DAMON API callers including DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT
allow users to set empty monitoring target regions. This could result in
WARN_ONCE() on CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY enabled kernel, and
divide-by-zero from damon_merge_two_regions().
For example, the WANR_ONCE() can be triggered like below.
# grep DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y
# damo start
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0

Fix three issues in damon_hot_score() that comes from wrong handling of
extreme (zero or too high) monitoring intervals user setup.
When the user sets sampling interval zero, damon_max_nr_accesses(), which
is called from damon_hot_score(), causes a divide-by-zero. Needless to
say, it is a problem.
When the user sets the aggregation interval zero, the function returns
zero. It is wrong, since the real maximum nr_acceses in the setup should
be one. Worse yet, it can cause another divide-by-zero from its caller,
damon_hot_score(), since it uses damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a
denominator.
When the user sets the aggregation interval very high, damon_hot_score()
could return a value out of [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] range. Since the return
value is used as an index to the regions_score_histogram array, which is
DAMOS_MAX_SCORE+1 size, it causes out of bounds array access.
The issues can be relatively easily reproduced like below. The sysfs
write permission is required, though.
# ./damo start --damos_action lru_prio --damos_quota_space 100M \
--damos_quota_interval 1s
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0

[...]
Fix the divide-by-zero intervals problems by explicitly handling the zero
intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses(). Fix the out-of-bound array access
by applying [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] bounds before returning from
damon_hot_score().

damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() setup the tried_regions directory after the
stats directory setup is completed. When the tried_regions directory
setup is failed, the setup function ensures the reference for the tried
regions directory is released. Hence the error path should put references
on setup succeeded directory objects, starting from the stats directory.
However, the error path is putting the tried_regions directory instead of
the stats directory.
As a direct result, the stats directory object is leaked. Worse yet, if
the tried_regions directory setup failed from the initial allocation, the
scheme->tried_regions field remains uninitialized. The following
kobject_put(&scheme->tried_regions->kobj) call in the error path will
dereference the uninitialized memory. The setup failures should not be
common. But once it happens, the consequence is quite bad.
Fix this issue by correctly putting the stats directory instead of the
tried_regions directory.

Error paths of damon_sysfs_access_pattern_add_dirs() and
damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() functions put references to directories in
wrong orders. As a result, uninitialized memory dereference and/or
memory leak can happen. Fix those.
This patch (of 2):
In access_pattern_add_dirs(), error handling path puts references starting

allication in the setup functions, uninitialized memory dereference
happen. The allocation failures will not commonly happen, but the

damon_commit_target() puts and gets the destination and the source target
pids. It puts the destination target pid because it will be overwritten
by the source target pid. It gets the source pid because the caller is
supposed to eventually put the pids. In more detail, the caller will call
damon_destroy_ctx() after damon_commit_ctx() to destroy the entire source
context. And in this case, [f]vaddr operation set's cleanup_target()
callback will put the pids.
The commit operation is made at the context level. The operation can fail
in multiple places including in the middle and after the targets commit
operations. For any such failures, immediately the error is returned to
the damon_commit_ctx() caller. If some or all of the source target pids
were committed to the destination during the unsuccessful context commit
attempt, those pids should be put twice.
The source context will do the put operations using the above explained
routine. However, let's suppose the destination context was not
originally using [f]vaddr operation set and the commit failed before the
ops of the source context is committed. The destination does not have the
cleanup_target() ops callback, so it cannot put the pids via the
damon_destroy_ctx().
As a result, the pids are leaked. The issue in the real world would be
not very common. The commit feature is for changing parameters of running
DAMON context while inheriting internal status like the monitoring
results. The monitoring results of a physical address range ain't have
things that are beneficial to be inherited to a virtual address ranges
monitoring. So the problem-causing DAMON control would be not very common
in the real world. That said, it is a supported feature. And
damon_commit_target() failure due to memory allocation is relatively
realistic [1] if there are a huge number of target regions.
Fix by putting the pids in the commit operation in case of the failures.

DAMON traces effective size quota from the second update, only if a change
has been made by the update. Tracing only changed updates was an
intentional decision to avoid unnecessary same value tracing. Always
skipping the first value is just an unintended mistake.
The mistake makes the tracepoint based investigation incomplete, because
the first effective size quota is never traced. It is not a big issue
when the 'consist' quota tuner is used, because it keeps changing the
quota in the usual setup.
However, when the 'temporal' tuner is used, the quota value is not changed
before the goal achievement status is completely changed. For example, if
the DAMOS scheme is started with an under-achieved goal, the quota is set
to the maximum value, and kept the same value until the goal is achieved.
Because DAMON skips the first value, the user cannot know what effective
quota the current scheme is using. Only after the goal is achieved, the
effective quota is changed to zero, and traced.
Unconditionally trace the initial quota value to fix this problem.
Note that the 'temporal' quota tuner was introduced by commit af738a6a00
("mm/damon/core: introduce DAMOS_QUOTA_GOAL_TUNER_TEMPORAL"), which was
added to 7.1-rc1. But even with the 'consist' quota tuner, the tracing is
unintentionally incomplete. Hence this commit marks the introduction of
the trace event as the broken commit.

When CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY is enabled, damon_verify_nr_regions() is
called for each damon_nr_regions() invocation. damon_veify_nr_regions()
iterates all regions. damon_nr_regions() is called for each region in
kdamond_reset_aggregated() and damos_apply_scheme(). Hence it imposes
O(n**2) overhead where n is the number of regions.
Though the verification is enabled only under DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY, which is
not for production use cases, it could be too high overhead. Meanwhile,
damon_verify_ctx() is doing the damon_nr_regions() test. Because
damon_verify_ctx() is called for each kdamond_call(), the test coverage
from damon_verify_ctx() could be sufficient. Remove damon_nr_regions()
verification.

Patch series "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests".
Implement minor improvements on code readability and tests for DAMON.
First seven patches are for DAMON code readability and resulting
maintenance. Patches 1 and 2 make damon_set_regions() safer and easier to
read. Patches 3 and 4 remove fragmented DAMON API use cases. Patches 5-7
hides unused core functions that are unnecessarily exposed to API callers.
The following seven patches are for DAMON tests improvement. Patches 8
and 9 adds and removes DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY verifications to ensure
reasonable test coverage without too high overhead. Patch 10 adds a new
kunit test for damon_set_regions(). Patch 11 makes sysfs.py selftest more
gracefully finishes under test failures. Patches 12-13 adds simple
sysfs.sh test cases for the monitoring intervals goal directory, the
addr_unit file and the pause file.
This patch (of 14):
damon_set_regions() calls damon_first_region() regardless of the number of
DAMON regions in a given DAMON target. damon_first_region() internally
uses list_first_entry(), which clearly documents the list is expected to
be not empty. Due to the internal implementation of the macro,
damon_set_regions() is safe for now. But the internal implementation of
the macro can be changed in future. Refactor the function to explicitly
and safely handle the empty region list case without depending on the
internal implementation.
No behavioral change is intended.

DAMON_LRU_SORT allocates the damon_ctx object for its kdamond in its init
function. damon_lru_sort_enabled_store() wrongly assumes the allocation
will always succeed once tried. If the damon_ctx allocation was failed,
therefore, code execution reaches to damon_commit_ctx() while 'ctx' is
NULL. As a result, it dereferences the NULL 'ctx' pointer. Avoid the
NULL dereference by returning -ENOMEM if 'ctx' is NULL.

Patch series "mm/damon/{reclaim,lru_sort}: handle ctx allocation failures".
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT could dereference NULL pointers if their
damon_ctx object allocations fail. The bugs are expected to happen
infrequently because the allocations are arguably too small to fail on
common setups. But theoretically they are possible and the consequences
are bad. Fix those.
The issues were discovered [1] by Sashiko.

Currently, DAMON virtual address operations use mmap_read_lock during page
table walks, which can cause unnecessary contention under high
concurrency.
Introduce damon_va_walk_page_range() to first attempt acquiring a per-vma
lock. If the VMA is found and the range is fully contained within it, the
page table walk proceeds with the per-vma lock instead of mmap_read_lock.
This optimization is expected to be particularly effective for
damon_va_young() and damon_va_mkold(), which are frequently called and
typically operate within a single VMA.

Define a data structure for constructing damon_probe's attributes check,
namely damon_filter. It is very similar to damos_filter but works only
for monitoring purposes. Also embed that into damon_probe, implement
essential handling of the link, with fundamental helpers.

Problem
=======
When a user sets an invalid 'addr_unit' (e.g., 3) via DAMON_RECLAIM,
'min_region_sz' becomes a non-power-of-2 value. While damon_commit_ctx()
correctly detects this and returns -EINVAL, it sets the
'maybe_corrupted' flag during this process.
This flag causes the running kdamond to terminate. While the termination
is a safety measure, it is suboptimal in this case because the error is
just a simple invalid input from the user, which shouldn't neccessitate
stopping the kdamond.
Reproduction
============
1. Enable DAMON_RECLAIM
2. Set addr_unit=3
3. Commit inputs via 'commit_inputs'
4. Observe kdamond termination
Solution
========
Add an early validation in damon_reclaim_apply_parameters() to check
'min_region_sz' before any state change occurs. If it is non-power-of-2,
return -EINVAL immediately, preventing 'maybe_corrupted' from being set.

damos_sysfs_populate_region_dir() increments sysfs_regions->nr_regions
twice when adding a new region: once explicitly before
kobject_init_and_add(), and once again through the post-increment used for
the kobject name.
As a result, nr_regions no longer matches the actual number of live
regions, and region directory names skip numbers (1, 3, 5, ...).
Use the already incremented value for naming instead of incrementing
nr_regions a second time.

damon_rand() on the sampling_addr hot path called get_random_u32_below(),
which takes a local_lock_irqsave() around a per-CPU batched entropy pool
and periodically refills it with ChaCha20. At elevated nr_regions counts
(20k+), the lock_acquire / local_lock pair plus __get_random_u32_below()
dominate kdamond perf profiles.
Replace the helper with a lockless lfsr113 generator (struct rnd_state)
held per damon_ctx and seeded from get_random_u64() in damon_new_ctx().
kdamond is the single consumer of a given ctx, so no synchronization is
required. Range mapping uses traditional reciprocal multiplication,
similar as get_random_u32_below(); for spans larger than U32_MAX (only
reachable on 64-bit) the slow path combines two u32 outputs and uses
mul_u64_u64_shr() at 64-bit width. On 32-bit the slow path is dead code
and gets eliminated by the compiler.
The new helper takes a ctx parameter; damon_split_regions_of() and the
kunit tests that call it directly are updated accordingly.
lfsr113 is a linear PRNG and MUST NOT be used for anything
security-sensitive. DAMON's sampling_addr is not exposed to userspace and
is only consumed as a probe point for PTE accessed-bit sampling, so a
non-cryptographic PRNG is appropriate here.
Tested with paddr monitoring and max_nr_regions=20000: kdamond CPU usage
reduced from ~72% to ~50% of one core.

"userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry", which is a
prerequisite for mm-unnstable's series "userfaultfd: merge
fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c".
damon_get_folio() speculatively calls folio_test_lru() before
folio_try_get(). The folio can get freed and reallocated to a tail page.
In the case, VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() can be triggered.
Remove the speculative call.
Also mark folio_test_lru() check right after folio_try_get() success as no
more unlikely.
The race should be rare. Also the problem can happen only if the kernel
has enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS. No real world report of this issue
has been made so far. This fix is based on only theoretical analysis.
That said, a bug is a bug. A similar issue was also fixed via commit
3203b3ab0f ("mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a
reference in next_uptodate_folio()"). I don't expect this change will
make a meaningful impact to DAMON performance in the real world, though I
will be happy to be corrected from the real world reports.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
