[v4,0/5] userfaultfd move option

This patch series introduces UFFDIO_MOVE feature to userfaultfd, which
has long been implemented and maintained by Andrea in his local tree [1],
but was not upstreamed due to lack of use cases where this approach would
be better than allocating a new page and copying the contents. Previous
upstraming attempts could be found at [6] and [7].

UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [2]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [3].
We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting
thread’s completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was
measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation
using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads).
More details of the usecase are explained in [3].

Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without
touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap,
however it forces splitting the vma.


TODOs for follow-up improvements:
- cross-mm support. Known differences from single-mm and missing pieces:
	- memcg recharging (might need to isolate pages in the process)
	- mm counters
	- cross-mm deposit table moves
	- cross-mm test
	- document the address space where src and dest reside in struct
	  uffdio_move

- TLB flush batching. Will require extensive changes to PTL locking in
move_pages_pte(). OTOH that might let us reuse parts of mremap code.

- added test for moving PMD-aligned blocks

Changes since v2 [5]:
- renamed UFFDIO_REMAP to UFFDIO_MOVE, per David Hildenbrand
- rebase over mm-unstable to use folio_move_anon_rmap(),
per David Hildenbrand
- added text for manpage explaining DONTFORK and KSM requirements for this
feature, per David Hildenbrand
- check for anon_vma changes in the fast path of folio_lock_anon_vma_read,
per Peter Xu
- updated the title and description of the first patch,
per David Hildenbrand
- updating comments in folio_lock_anon_vma_read() explaining the need for
anon_vma checks, per David Hildenbrand
- changed all mapcount checks to PageAnonExclusive, per Jann Horn and
David Hildenbrand
- changed counters in remap_swap_pte() from MM_ANONPAGES to MM_SWAPENTS,
per Jann Horn
- added a check for PTE change after folio is locked in remap_pages_pte(),
per Jann Horn
- added handling of PMD migration entries and bailout when pmd_devmap(),
per Jann Horn
- added checks to ensure both src and dst VMAs are writable, per Peter Xu
- added UFFD_FEATURE_MOVE, per Peter Xu
- removed obsolete comments, per Peter Xu
- renamed remap_anon_pte to remap_present_pte, per Peter Xu
- added a comment for folio_get_anon_vma() explaining the need for
anon_vma checks, per Peter Xu
- changed error handling in remap_pages() to make it more clear,
per Peter Xu
- changed EFAULT to EAGAIN to retry when a hugepage appears or disappears
from under us, per Peter Xu
- added links to previous upstreaming attempts, per David Hildenbrand

Changes since v1 [4]:
- add mmget_not_zero in userfaultfd_remap, per Jann Horn
- removed extern from function definitions, per Matthew Wilcox
- converted to folios in remap_pages_huge_pmd, per Matthew Wilcox
- use PageAnonExclusive in remap_pages_huge_pmd, per David Hildenbrand
- handle pgtable transfers between MMs, per Jann Horn
- ignore concurrent A/D pte bit changes, per Jann Horn
- split functions into smaller units, per David Hildenbrand
- test for folio_test_large in remap_anon_pte, per Matthew Wilcox
- use pte_swp_exclusive for swapcount check, per David Hildenbrand
- eliminated use of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock,
per Jann Horn
- simplified THP alignment checks, per Jann Horn
- refactored the loop inside remap_pages, per Jann Horn
- additional clarifying comments, per Jann Horn

Main changes since Andrea's last version [1]:
- Trivial translations from page to folio, mmap_sem to mmap_lock
- Replace pmd_trans_unstable() with pte_offset_map_nolock() and handle its
possible failure
- Move pte mapping into remap_pages_pte to allow for retries when source
page or anon_vma is contended. Since pte_offset_map_nolock() start RCU
read section, we can't block anymore after mapping a pte, so have to unmap
the ptesm do the locking and retry.
- Add and use anon_vma_trylock_write()  to avoid blocking while in RCU
read section.
- Accommodate changes in mmu_notifier_range_init() API, switch to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock() to avoid blocking while in
RCU read section.
- Open-code now removed __swp_swapcount()
- Replace pmd_read_atomic() with pmdp_get_lockless()
- Add new selftest for UFFDIO_MOVE
