[PATCH v1 00/39] mm/rmap: interface overhaul

[David Hildenbrand]

This series overhauls the rmap interface, to get rid of the "bool compound"
/ RMAP_COMPOUND parameter with the goal of making the interface less error
prone, more future proof, and more natural to extend to "batching". Also,
this converts the interface to always consume folio+subpage, which speeds
up operations on large folios.

Further, this series adds PTE-batching variants for 4 rmap functions,
whereby only folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes() is used for batching in this series
when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP. folio_remove_rmap_ptes(),
folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_ptes() and folio_dup_file_rmap_ptes() will soon
come in handy[1,2].

This series performs a lot of folio conversion along the way. Most of the
added LOC in the diff are only due to documentation.

As we're moving to a pte/pmd interface where we clearly express the
mapping granularity we are dealing with, we first get the remainder of
hugetlb out of the way, as it is special and expected to remain special: it
treats everything as a "single logical PTE" and only currently allows
entire mappings.

Even if we'd ever support partial mappings, I strongly assume the interface
and implementation will still differ heavily: hopefull we can avoid working
on subpages/subpage mapcounts completely and only add a "count" parameter
for them to enable batching.

New (extended) hugetlb interface that operates on entire folio:
 * hugetlb_add_new_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
 * hugetlb_add_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
 * hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap()
 * hugetlb_try_share_anon_rmap()
 * hugetlb_add_file_rmap()
 * hugetlb_remove_rmap()

New "ordinary" interface for small folios / THP::
 * folio_add_new_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
 * folio_add_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_try_share_anon_rmap_[pte|pmd]()
 * folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_dup_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
 * folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()

folio_add_new_anon_rmap() will always map at the largest granularity
possible (currently, a single PMD to cover a PMD-sized THP). Could be
extended if ever required.

In the future, we might want "_pud" variants and eventually "_pmds"
variants for batching.

I ran some simple microbenchmarks on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4210R:
measuring munmap(), fork(), cow, MADV_DONTNEED on each PTE ... and PTE
remapping PMD-mapped THPs on 1 GiB of memory.

For small folios, there is barely a change (< 1%).

For PTE-mapped THP:
* PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP is more than 10% faster.
* fork() is more than 4% faster.
* MADV_DONTNEED is 2% faster
* COW when writing only a single byte on a COW-shared PTE is 1% faster
* munmap() barely changes (< 1%).

Based on current mm/mm-unstable. Compile-tested with/wihout THP on x86-64
and with defconig on a bunch more. Tested on x86-64.

RFC -> v1:
* Rebased on top of mm-unstable (containing mTHP)
* Use switch()-case and _always_inline for helper functions
* Fixed some (intermittend) compile issues and some smaller stuff
* folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]() rewrite
* Pass nr_pages consistently as "int"
* Simplify sanity checks
* Added RBs
