Subject: [RFCv2 5/6] mm: introduce external memory hinting API
Date:   Fri, 31 May 2019 15:43:12 +0900

There is some usecase that centralized userspace daemon want to give
a memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other process. Android's
ActivityManagerService is one of them.

It's similar in spirit to madvise(MADV_WONTNEED), but the information
required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the app. Instead,
it is known to the centralized userspace daemon(ActivityManagerService),
and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without
any app involvement.

To solve the issue, this patch introduces new syscall process_madvise(2).
It could give a hint to the exeternal process of pidfd.

 int process_madvise(int pidfd, void *addr, size_t length, int advise,
			unsigned long cookie, unsigned long flag);

Since it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(CAP_SYS_PTRACE) or something else(e.g., being the same UID)
gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.

The syscall has a cookie argument to privode atomicity(i.e., detect
target process's address space change since monitor process has parsed
the address range of target process so the operaion could fail in case
of happening race). Although there is no interface to get a cookie
at this moment, it could be useful to consider it as argument to avoid
introducing another new syscall in future. It could support *atomicity*
for disruptive hint(e.g., MADV_DONTNEED|FREE).
flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.

I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise are rather risky. Because I'm not sure all hints makes
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
caller is current context like MADV_INJECT_ERROR so it could be error-prone
if the caller is external process. Other example is userfaultfd because
userfaultfd_remove need to release mmap_sem during the operation, which
wouuld be a obstacle to implement atomicity later. So, I just limited hints
as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] at this moment. If someone want to expose other hint
we need to hear their workload/scenario and could review carefully by
design/implmentation of each hint. It's more safe for maintainace -
Once we open a buggy syscall but found hard to fix it later, we never
roll back.

TODO: once we agree the direction, I need to define the syscall for
every architecture.

* RFCv1
  * not export pidfd_to_pid. Use pidfd_pid - Christian
  * use mm struct instead of task_struct for madvise_core - Oleg
  * add cookie variable as syscall argument to guarantee atomicity - dancol

* internal review
  * use ptrace capability - surenb, dancol

I didn't solve the issue Olge pointed out(task we got from
pid_task could be a zombie leader so that syscall will fai
by mm_access even though process is alive with other threads)
because it's not a only problem of this new syscall but it's
general problem for other MM syscalls like process_vm_readv,
move_pages so need more discussion.
