Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

wp_clean_pmd_entry() need not check pmd_trans_unstable() or pmd_none(),
wp_clean_pud_entry() need not check pud_trans_unstable() or pud_none():
it's just the ACTION_CONTINUE when trans_huge or devmap that's needed to
prevent splitting, and we're hoping to remove pmd_trans_unstable(). Is
that PUD #ifdef necessary? Maybe some configs are missing a stub.

mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() was originally introduced in
commit c6d23413f8 ("mm/mmu_notifier:
mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper") as an optimisation for
device drivers that know a range has only been mapped read-only. However
there are no users of this feature so remove it. As it is the only user
of the struct mmu_notifier_range.vma field remove that also.

linux/mm_types.h should only define structure definitions, to make it
cheap to include elsewhere. The atomic_t helper function definitions
are particularly large, so it's better to move the helpers using those
into the existing linux/mm_inline.h and only include that where needed.
As a follow-up, we may want to go through all the indirect includes in
mm_types.h and reduce them as much as possible.

The helper function is very specific to one driver -- vmwgfx. While the

Mapping dirty helpers have, so far, been only used on X86, but a port of
vmwgfx to ARM64 exposed a problem which results in a compilation error
on ARM64 systems:
mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c: In function `wp_clean_pud_entry':
mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c:172:32: error: implicit declaration of function `pud_dirty'; did you mean `pmd_dirty'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
This is due to the fact that mapping_dirty_helpers code assumes that
pud_dirty is always defined, which is not the case for architectures
that don't define CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
ARM64 arch is a little inconsistent when it comes to PUD hugepage
helpers, e.g. it defines pud_young but not pud_dirty but regardless of
that the core kernel code shouldn't assume that any of the PUD hugepage
helpers are available unless CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
is defined. This prevents compilation errors whenever one of the
drivers is ported to new architectures.

Add two utilities to 1) write-protect and 2) clean all ptes pointing into
a range of an address space.
The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either
driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory).
The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with
page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page
accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into
large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize
hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults,
typically on large accesses into small memory regions.
