Rename selftets/vm to selftests/mm for being more consistent with the
code, documentation, and tools directories, and won't be confused with
virtual machines.

<title>selftests/vm: cow: add COW tests for collapsing of PTE-mapped anon THP</title>
<updated>2023-01-19T01:12:54Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tablaster.dev/blaster4385/linux-IllusionX/commit/?id=dee2ad120571f38433211098cd6b95a59bdfc8c7'/>
<id>urn:sha1:dee2ad120571f38433211098cd6b95a59bdfc8c7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, anonymous PTE-mapped THPs cannot be collapsed in-place:
collapsing (e.g., via MADV_COLLAPSE) implies allocating a fresh THP and
mapping that new THP via a PMD: as it's a fresh anon THP, it will get the
exclusive flag set on the head page and everybody is happy.

However, if the kernel would ever support in-place collapse of anonymous
THPs (replacing a page table mapping each sub-page of a THP via PTEs with
a single PMD mapping the complete THP), exclusivity information stored for
each sub-page would have to be collapsed accordingly:

(1) All PTEs map !exclusive anon sub-pages: the in-place collapsed THP
    must not not have the exclusive flag set on the head page mapped by
    the PMD. This is the easiest case to handle ("simply don't set any
    exclusive flags").

(2) All PTEs map exclusive anon sub-pages: when collapsing, we have to
    clear the exclusive flag from all tail pages and only leave the
    exclusive flag set for the head page. Otherwise, fork() after
    collapse would not clear the exclusive flags from the tail pages
    and we'd be in trouble once PTE-mapping the shared THP when writing
    to shared tail pages that still have the exclusive flag set. This
    would effectively revert what the PTE-mapping code does when
    propagating the exclusive flag to all sub-pages.

(3) PTEs map a mixture of exclusive and !exclusive anon sub-pages (can
    happen e.g., due to MADV_DONTFORK before fork()). We must not
    collapse the THP in-place, otherwise bad things may happen:
    the exclusive flags of sub-pages would get ignored and the
    exclusive flag of the head page would get used instead.

Now that we have MADV_COLLAPSE in place to trigger collapsing a THP, let's
add some test cases that would bail out early, if we'd
voluntarily/accidantially unlock in-place collapse for anon THPs and
forget about taking proper care of exclusive flags.

Running the test on a kernel with MADV_COLLAPSE support:
  # [INFO] Anonymous THP tests
  # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing before fork()
  ok 169 No leak from parent into child
  # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (fully shared)
  ok 170 # SKIP MADV_COLLAPSE failed: Invalid argument
  # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (lower shared)
  ok 171 No leak from parent into child
  # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (upper shared)
  ok 172 No leak from parent into child

For now, MADV_COLLAPSE always seems to fail if all PTEs map shared
sub-pages.

The test currently fails on 32bit.  Fixing the "-1ull" vs.  "-1ul" seems
to make the test pass and the compiler happy.

Note: This test is not in mm-stable yet. This fix should be squashed into
      "selftests/vm: add KSM unmerge tests".

The tests fail to compile in some environments (e.g., Debian 11.5 on x86).
Let's simply conditionally define MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) if not
already defined, similar to how the khugepaged.c test handles it.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm/ksm: break_ksm() cleanups and fixes", v2.

This series cleans up and fixes break_ksm().  In summary, we no longer use
fake write faults to break COW but instead FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE.  Further,
we move away from using follow_page() --- that we can hopefully remove
completely at one point --- and use new walk_page_range_vma() instead.

Fortunately, we can get rid of VM_FAULT_WRITE and FOLL_MIGRATION in common
code now.

Extend the existing ksm tests by an unmerge benchmark, and a some new
unmerge tests.

Also, add a selftest to measure MADV_UNMERGEABLE performance.  In my setup
(AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance
on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a
performance degradation of ~6% -- 7% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s).
I don't think we particularly care for now, but it's good to be aware of
the implication.


This patch (of 9):

Let's add three unmerge tests (MADV_UNMERGEABLE unmerging all pages in the
range).

test_unmerge(): basic unmerge tests
test_unmerge_discarded(): have some pte_none() entries in the range
test_unmerge_uffd_wp(): protect the merged pages using uffd-wp

ksm_tests.c currently contains a mixture of benchmarks and tests, whereby
each test is carried out by executing the ksm_tests binary with specific
parameters.  Let's add new ksm_functional_tests.c that performs multiple,
smaller functional tests all at once.
