62dd4637d6 ANDROID: mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory
Userspace processes often have multiple allocators that each do
anonymous mmaps to get memory.  When examining memory usage of
individual processes or systems as a whole, it is useful to be
able to break down the various heaps that were allocated by
each layer and examine their size, RSS, and physical memory
usage.

This patch adds a user pointer to the shared union in
vm_area_struct that points to a null terminated string inside
the user process containing a name for the vma.  vmas that
point to the same address will be merged, but vmas that
point to equivalent strings at different addresses will
not be merged.

Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling
prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name);
Setting the name to NULL clears it.

The names of named anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps
as [anon:<name>] and in /proc/pid/smaps in a new "Name" field
that is only present for named vmas.  If the userspace pointer
is no longer valid all or part of the name will be replaced
with "<fault>".

The idea to store a userspace pointer to reduce the complexity
within mm (at the expense of the complexity of reading
/proc/pid/mem) came from Dave Hansen.  This results in no
runtime overhead in the mm subsystem other than comparing
the anon_name pointers when considering vma merging.  The pointer
is stored in a union with fieds that are only used on file-backed
mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.

Includes fix from Jed Davis <jld@mozilla.com> for typo in
prctl_set_vma_anon_name, which could attempt to set the name
across two vmas at the same time due to a typo, which might
corrupt the vma list.  Fix it to use tmp instead of end to limit
the name setting to a single vma at a time.

94723aafb9 mm: unclutter THP migration
THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP allocation
fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [1].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs.  We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry.  So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

666feb21a0 mm, migrate: remove reason argument from new_page_t
No allocation callback is using this argument anymore.  new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp.  migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array).  The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now.  All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

a49bd4d716 mm, numa: rework do_pages_move
Patch series "unclutter thp migration"

Motivation:

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP
allocation fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [2].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer.  It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that.  We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3.  Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.

On a side note:

There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here.  E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list).  Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages.  Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so.  From a
quick look into git history this never worked.  I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.

Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches.  Easily fixable.

This patch (of 3):

do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address).  The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error.  The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value.  This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.

Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page.  Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node.  The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument.  new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.

What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path.  That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.

How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage.  This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node.  So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation.  Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching.  mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

642e7fd233 Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

389c8178d0 hugetlb, mbind: fall back to default policy if vma is NULL
Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can
get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which
relies on the VMA to get the hstate.  We used to BUG_ON this case but
the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the
mbind hugetlb migration".

The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated
page and rely on huge_node (resp.  get_vma_policy) do the right thing
with null VMA.  We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy
in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

ebd6372358 hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migration
do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages.  alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting.  None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped.  This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.

The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.

Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths.  Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.

alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

0486a38bcc mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages
As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by
the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes
contain memory.  However, when test by following case:

	new_nodes = 0;
	old_nodes = 0xf;
	ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set.  As the new_nodes is empty, we
should expect EINVAL as documented.

To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND
current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

56521e7a02 mm/mempolicy: fix the check of nodemask from user
As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will fail on arm64 system
which has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2:

  migrate_pages01    0  TINFO  :  test_invalid_nodes
  migrate_pages01   14  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1
  migrate_pages01   15  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly

In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call:
SYSC_migrate_pages as:

  migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0

The new nodes specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the
maximum supported node ID, however, the errno is not set to EINVAL as
expected.

As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3]
mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater
than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL.
However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits
[BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and
remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
unchecked.

This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes
to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one
or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID,
which follows the manpage's guide.

4518085e12 mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable
This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:

	echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

In this case, numa counter update is ignored.  We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).

Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):

  https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

This is system default setting.

Many thanks to Michal Hocko, Dave Hansen, Ying Huang and Vlastimil Babka
for comments to help improve the original patch.

3136746619 Unify migrate_pages and move_pages access checks
Commit 197e7e5213 ("Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks") fixed
a security issue I reported in the move_pages syscall, and made it so
that you can't act on set-uid processes unless you have the
CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability.

Unify the access check logic of migrate_pages to match the new behavior
of move_pages.  We discussed this a bit in the security@ list and
thought it'd be good for consistency even though there's no evident
security impact.  The NUMA node access checks are left intact and
require CAP_SYS_NICE as before.

de55c8b251 mm/mempolicy: fix NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT counter
Commit 3a321d2a3d ("mm: change the call sites of numa statistics
items") separated NUMA counters from zone counters, but the
NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT call site wasn't updated to use the new interface.
So alloc_page_interleave() actually increments NR_ZONE_INACTIVE_FILE
instead of NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT.

Fix this by using __inc_numa_state() interface to increment
NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT.

88aaa2a1d7 mm: mempolicy: add queue_pages_required()
Patch series "mm: page migration enhancement for thp", v9.

Motivations:

1. THP migration becomes important in the upcoming heterogeneous memory
   systems. As David Nellans from NVIDIA pointed out from other threads
   (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1349227.html),
   future GPUs or other accelerators will have their memory managed by
   operating systems. Moving data into and out of these memory nodes
   efficiently is critical to applications that use GPUs or other
   accelerators. Existing page migration only supports base pages, which
   has a very low memory bandwidth utilization. My experiments (see
   below) show THP migration can migrate pages more efficiently.

2. Base page migration vs THP migration throughput.

   Here are cross-socket page migration results from calling
   move_pages() syscall:

   In x86_64, a Intel two-socket E5-2640v3 box,
    - single 4KB base page migration takes 62.47 us, using 0.06 GB/s BW,
    - single 2MB THP migration takes 658.54 us, using 2.97 GB/s BW,
    - 512 4KB base page migration takes 1987.38 us, using 0.98 GB/s BW.

   In ppc64, a two-socket Power8 box,
    - single 64KB base page migration takes 49.3 us, using 1.24 GB/s BW,
    - single 16MB THP migration takes 2202.17 us, using 7.10 GB/s BW,
    - 256 64KB base page migration takes 2543.65 us, using 6.14 GB/s BW.

   THP migration can give us 3x and 1.15x throughput over base page
   migration in x86_64 and ppc64 respectivley.

   You can test it out by using the code here:
      https://github.com/x-y-z/thp-migration-bench

3. Existing page migration splits THP before migration and cannot
   guarantee the migrated pages are still contiguous. Contiguity is
   always what GPUs and accelerators look for. Without THP migration,
   khugepaged needs to do extra work to reassemble the migrated pages
   back to THPs.

This patch (of 10):

Introduce a separate check routine related to MPOL_MF_INVERT flag.  This
patch just does cleanup, no behavioral change.

but that is gone since 8bccd85ffb ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_*

current mempolicy ref count model.  The issue was introduced
accordingly.

Fix the issue by removing the premature release.

0f55685627 mm, migration: do not trigger OOM killer when migrating memory
Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to
allocate a new memory.  This can trigger an oom killer if the target
memory is depleated.  Although quite unlikely, still possible,
especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery).

Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off.
__GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a
single node and that is not suitable for all callers.

But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it.  It is
preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some
processes.

e0dd7d53a6 mm, mempolicy: don't check cpuset seqlock where it doesn't matter
Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking
task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced
with a cpuset update.

This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's
which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back
to the wrappers to detect the race at that level.

Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we
can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent
further wrong impression that it can actually help.

213980c0f2 mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies when updating cpusets
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when
rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a
parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing.

Later, commit cc9a6c8776 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory
barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed
the synchronization point between the two update steps.  At that point
(or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary.

Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in
step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2.  Without memory barriers the
effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel
zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all
nodes as unusable for allocation.  We now fully rely on the seqlock to
prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures.

We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

04ec6264f2 mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator
The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist
pointer as one of its parameters.  All of its callers directly or
indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred
node id and gfp_mask.  We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the
zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node
id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter).

There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined
node_zonelist():

  bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952)

This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets

45816682b2 mm, mempolicy: stop adjusting current->il_next in mpol_rebind_nodemask()
The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy.  mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems.  Currently it also tries
to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask.
This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's
mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma
mempolicy, not task one.

The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the
value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't
manifested as an actual issue.

We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to
il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation
instead of the next id.  Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next
id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when
querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

d51e9894d2 mm/mempolicy.c: do not put mempolicy before using its nodemask
Since commit be97a41b29 ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to
alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by
mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by
__alloc_pages_nodemask().  The commit log says it's so "we can use a
single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong.  We can
still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt.

Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise
__alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could
lead e.g.  to premature OOM.

8d303e44e9 mm/mempolicy.c: forbid static or relative flags for local NUMA mode
The MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags are irrelevant
when setting them for MPOL_LOCAL NUMA memory policy via set_mempolicy or
mbind.

Return the "invalid argument" from set_mempolicy and mbind whenever any
of these flags is passed along with MPOL_LOCAL.

It is consistent with MPOL_PREFERRED passed with empty nodemask.

It slightly shortens the execution time in paths where these flags are
used e.g.  when trying to rebind the NUMA nodes for changes in cgroups
cpuset mems (mpol_rebind_preferred()) or when just printing the mempolicy
structure (/proc/PID/numa_maps).  Isolated tests done.

6d8409580b mm, mempolicy: clean up __GFP_THISNODE confusion in policy_zonelist
__GFP_THISNODE is documented to enforce the allocation to be satisified
from the requested node with no fallbacks or placement policy
enforcements.  policy_zonelist seemingly breaks this semantic if the
current policy is MPOL_MBIND and instead of taking the node it will
fallback to the first node in the mask if the requested one is not in
the mask.  This is confusing to say the least because it fact we
shouldn't ever go that path.  First tasks shouldn't be scheduled on CPUs
with nodes outside of their mempolicy binding.  And secondly
policy_zonelist is called only from 3 places:

 - huge_zonelist - never should do __GFP_THISNODE when going this path

 - alloc_pages_vma - which shouldn't depend on __GFP_THISNODE either

 - alloc_pages_current - which uses default_policy id __GFP_THISNODE is
   used

So we shouldn't even need to care about this possibility and can drop
the confusing code.  Let's keep a WARN_ON_ONCE in place to catch
potential users and fix them up properly (aka use a different allocation
function which ignores mempolicy).

fd60775aea mm, thp: avoid unlikely branches for split_huge_pmd
While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we
encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing
hugepage.  This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(),
which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part
of an unlikely() branch.

Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be
good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.

599d0c954f mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.

Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.

Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.

In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions

1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem

   When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
   list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
   highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
   keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
   arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
   could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.

   That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
   highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.

2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails

   This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
   memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

800d8c63b2 shmem: add huge pages support
Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.

It's all pretty streight-forward:

  - shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
    radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();

  - shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
    space for it;

  - shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
    Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.

    This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
    behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
    lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
    pages happened to be allocated.

  - no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
    huge if VMA is suitable;

of next_node(-1, ...) and was relying upon NUMA_NO_NODE being equal to
-1.

Clean that all up and document the function's intent.

0edaf86cf1 include/linux/nodemask.h: create next_node_in() helper
Lots of code does

	node = next_node(node, XXX);
	if (node == MAX_NUMNODES)
		node = first_node(XXX);

so create next_node_in() to do this and use it in various places.

643ad15d47 Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"
