Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] Create 'old' ptes for faultaround mappings on arm64 with hardware access flag

Hi all,

This is version four of the patches I previously posted here:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201209163950.8494-1-will@kernel.org
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210108171517.5290-1-will@kernel.org
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210114175934.13070-1-will@kernel.org

The patches allow architectures to opt-in at runtime for faultaround
mappings to be created as 'old' instead of 'young'. Although there have
been previous attempts at this, they failed either because the decision
was deferred to userspace [1] or because it was done unconditionally and
shown to regress benchmarks for particular architectures [2].

The big change since v3 is that the immutable fields of 'struct vm_fault'
now live in a 'const' anonymous struct. Although Clang will silently
accept modifications to these fields [3], GCC emits an error. The
resulting diffstat is _considerably_ more manageable with this approach.

As before, I've also updated this branch:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git/log/?h=faultaround

Cheers,

Will

Kirill A. Shutemov (1):
  mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths

Will Deacon (7):
  mm: Allow architectures to request 'old' entries when prefaulting
  arm64: mm: Implement arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte()
  mm: Move immutable fields of 'struct vm_fault' into anonymous struct
  mm: Pass 'address' to map to do_set_pte() and drop FAULT_FLAG_PREFAULT
  mm: Avoid modifying vmf.address in __collapse_huge_page_swapin()
  mm: Use static initialisers for immutable fields of 'struct vm_fault'
  mm: Mark anonymous struct field of 'struct vm_fault' as 'const'
