DAMON design document is describing only the operations set layer and
monitoring part of the core logic. Update the layout based on the DAMON's
layers, so that more parts of DAMON including DAMOS core logic and DAMON
modules can easily be added.

Patch series "Docs/mm/damon: Minor fixes and design doc update".
Some of the DAMON documents are outdated, or having minor typos or grammar
erros. Especially, the design doc has not updated for DAMOS, which is an
important part of DAMON. Fix the minor issues and update documents.
This patch (of 10):
The first two questions of DAMON faqs have raised when DAMON patches were
first submitted. More than one year has passed since DAMON patches get
merged in the mainline, and that kind of questions are not asked nowadays.
Remove the questions.

Almost all of the callers & implementors of migrate_pages() were already
converted to use folios. compaction_alloc() & compaction_free() are
trivial to convert a part of this patch and not worth splitting out.

Without EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, users are allowed to map arbitrary
physical memory regions into the userspace via /dev/mem. At the same
time, pages may change their properties (e.g., from anonymous pages to
named pages) while they are still being mapped in the userspace, leading
to "corruption" detected by the page table check.
To avoid these false positives, this patch makes PAGE_TABLE_CHECK
depends on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM. This dependency is understandable
because PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is a hardening technique but /dev/mem without
STRICT_DEVMEM (i.e., !EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM) is itself a security
problem.
Even with EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, I/O pages may be still allowed to be
mapped via /dev/mem. However, these pages are always considered as named
pages, so they won't break the logic used in the page table check.

permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.
- Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
caused by its unintuitive meaning.
- Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.
I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.
To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

Add CONFIG_MMU_TLB_REFCOUNT which enables refcounting of the lazy tlb mm
when it is context switched. This can be disabled by architectures that
don't require this refcounting if they clean up lazy tlb mms when the last
refcount is dropped. Currently this is always enabled, so the patch
introduces no functional change.

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well
as GFP_ATOMIC requests.
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

We now pass folios to these functions, so update the documentation
accordingly.
Additionally, correct the outdated reference to __pagevec_lru_add_fn(),
the referenced action occurs in __munlock_folio() directly now, replace
reference to lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() with the modern folio
equivalent folio_add_lru_vma() and reference folio flags by the flag name
rather than accessor.

What DAMON aims to do is not only access monitoring but efficient and
effective access-aware system operations. And DAMon-based Operation
Schemes (DAMOS) is the important feature of DAMON for the goal. Make the
intro of DAMON documentation to emphasize the goal and mention DAMOS.

kmap() and kmap_atomic() have been deprecated. kmap_local_page() should
always be used in new code and the call sites of the two deprecated
functions should be converted. This latter task can lead to errors if it
is not carried out with the necessary attention to the context around and
between the maps and unmaps.
Therefore, add further information to the Highmem's documentation for the
purpose to make it clearer that (1) kmap() and kmap_atomic() must not any
longer be called in new code and (2) developers doing conversions from
kmap() amd kmap_atomic() are expected to take care of the context around
and between the maps and unmaps, in order to not break the code.
Relevant parts of this patch have been taken from messages exchanged
privately with Ira Weiny (thanks!).

Although pmd_present() might seem to indicate a valid and mapped pmd
entry, in reality it returns true when pmd_page() points to a valid page
in memory , regardless whether the pmd entry is mapped or not. Andrea
Arcangeli had earlier explained [1] the required semantics for
pmd_present(). This just updates the documentation for pmd_present() as
required.

Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now?
Yes. Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit;
but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that
one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade
of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock.
This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe
safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing. When there are racing
removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well-
defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good. What
might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear
negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called
under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add.
Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that
exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave
subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just
carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped().
Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous
implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and
relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.
