Currently the copy_to_user of data in the gentry struct is copying
uninitiaized data in field _pad from the stack to userspace.
Fix this by explicitly memset'ing gentry to zero, this also will zero any
compiler added padding fields that may be in struct (currently there are
none).

Andy spotted a regression in the fs/gs base helpers after the patch series
was committed. The helper functions which write fs/gs base are not just
writing the base, they are also changing the index. That's wrong and needs
to be separated because writing the base has not to modify the index.
While the regression is not causing any harm right now because the only
caller depends on that behaviour, it's a guarantee for subtle breakage down
the road.
Make the index explicitly changed from the caller, instead of including
the code in the helpers.
Subsequently, the task write helpers do not handle for the current task
anymore. The range check for a base value is also factored out, to minimize
code redundancy from the caller.

A decoy address is used by set_mce_nospec() to update the cache attributes
for a page that may contain poison (multi-bit ECC error) while attempting
to minimize the possibility of triggering a speculative access to that
page.
When reserve_memtype() is handling a decoy address it needs to convert it
to its real physical alias. The conversion, AND'ing with __PHYSICAL_MASK,
is broken for a 32-bit physical mask and reserve_memtype() is passed the
last physical page. Gert reports triggering the:
BUG_ON(start >= end);
...assertion when running a 32-bit non-PAE build on a platform that has
a driver resource at the top of physical memory:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved
Given that the decoy address scheme is only targeted at 64-bit builds and
assumes that the top of physical address space is free for use as a decoy
address range, simply bypass address sanitization in the 32-bit case.
Lastly, there was no need to crash the system when this failure occurred,
and no need to crash future systems if the assumptions of decoy addresses
are ever violated. Change the BUG_ON() to a WARN() with an error return.

The user triggers the creation of a pseudo-locked region when writing
the requested schemata to the schemata resctrl file. The pseudo-locking
of a region is required to be done on a CPU that is associated with the
cache on which the pseudo-locked region will reside. In order to run the
locking code on a specific CPU, the needed CPU has to be selected and
ensured to remain online during the entire locking sequence.
At this time, the cpu_hotplug_lock is not taken during the pseudo-lock
region creation and it is thus possible for a CPU to be selected to run
the pseudo-locking code and then that CPU to go offline before the
thread is able to run on it.
Fix this by ensuring that the cpu_hotplug_lock is taken while the CPU on
which code has to run needs to be controlled. Since the cpu_hotplug_lock
is always taken before rdtgroup_mutex the lock order is maintained.

khugepaged's collapse_shmem() does almost all of its work, to assemble
the huge new_page from 512 scattered old pages, with the new_page's
refcount frozen to 0 (and refcounts of all old pages so far also frozen
to 0). Including shmem_getpage() to read in any which were out on swap,
memory reclaim if necessary to allocate their intermediate pages, and
copying over all the data from old to new.
Imagine the frozen refcount as a spinlock held, but without any lock
debugging to highlight the abuse: it's not good, and under serious load
heads into lockups - speculative getters of the page are not expecting
to spin while khugepaged is rescheduled.
One can get a little further under load by hacking around elsewhere; but
fortunately, freezing the new_page turns out to have been entirely
unnecessary, with no hacks needed elsewhere.
The huge new_page lock is already held throughout, and guards all its
subpages as they are brought one by one into the page cache tree; and
anything reading the data in that page, without the lock, before it has
been marked PageUptodate, would already be in the wrong. So simply
eliminate the freezing of the new_page.
Each of the old pages remains frozen with refcount 0 after it has been
replaced by a new_page subpage in the page cache tree, until they are
all unfrozen on success or failure: just as before. They could be
unfrozen sooner, but cause no problem once no longer visible to
find_get_entry(), filemap_map_pages() and other speculative lookups.

Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent
hit shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by
clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later
closed and unlinked.
khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages
on the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some
holes.
There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose
callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting
blocks, and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already
decremented nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them
both.
And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is
expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim
discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages
earlier (though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).

Huge tmpfs stress testing has occasionally hit shmem_undo_range()'s
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page).
Move the setting of mapping and index up before the page_ref_unfreeze()
in __split_huge_page_tail() to fix this: so that a page cache lookup
cannot get a reference while the tail's mapping and index are unstable.
In fact, might as well move them up before the smp_wmb(): I don't see an
actual need for that, but if I'm missing something, this way round is
safer than the other, and no less efficient.
You might argue that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page) is
misplaced, and should be left until after the trylock_page(); but left as
is has not crashed since, and gives more stringent assurance.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

Userfaultfd did not create private memory when UFFDIO_COPY was invoked
on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping. Instead it wrote to the shmem file,
even when that had not been opened for writing. Though, fortunately,
that could only happen where there was a hole in the file.
Fix the shmem-backed implementation of UFFDIO_COPY to create private
memory for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. The hugetlbfs-backed implementation
was already correct.
This change is visible to userland, if userfaultfd has been used in
unintended ways: so it introduces a small risk of incompatibility, but
is necessary in order to respect file permissions.
An app that uses UFFDIO_COPY for anything like postcopy live migration
won't notice the difference, and in fact it'll run faster because there
will be no copy-on-write and memory waste in the tmpfs pagecache
anymore.
Userfaults on MAP_PRIVATE shmem keep triggering only on file holes like
before.
The real zeropage can also be built on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping
through UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and that's safe because the zeropage pte is
never dirty, in turn even an mprotect upgrading the vma permission from
PROT_READ to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE won't make the zeropage pte writable.

Patch series "userfaultfd shmem updates".
Jann found two bugs in the userfaultfd shmem MAP_SHARED backend: the
lack of the VM_MAYWRITE check and the lack of i_size checks.
Then looking into the above we also fixed the MAP_PRIVATE case.
Hugh by source review also found a data loss source if UFFDIO_COPY is
used on shmem MAP_SHARED PROT_READ mappings (the production usages
incidentally run with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, so the data loss couldn't
happen in those production usages like with QEMU).
The whole patchset is marked for stable.
We verified QEMU postcopy live migration with guest running on shmem
MAP_PRIVATE run as well as before after the fix of shmem MAP_PRIVATE.
Regardless if it's shmem or hugetlbfs or MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, QEMU
unconditionally invokes a punch hole if the guest mapping is filebacked
and a MADV_DONTNEED too (needed to get rid of the MAP_PRIVATE COWs and
for the anon backend).
This patch (of 5):
We internally used EFAULT to communicate with the caller, switch to
ENOENT, so EFAULT can be used as a non internal retval.
