Subject: [PATCH v19 1/5] userfaultfd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC

From: Peter Xu <peterx@...hat.com>

This patch adds a new userfaultfd-wp feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC, that
allows userfaultfd wr-protect faults to be resolved by the kernel directly.

It can be used like a high accuracy version of soft-dirty, without vma
modifications during tracking, and also with ranged support by default
rather than for a whole mm when reset the protections due to existence of
ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT).

Several goals of such a dirty tracking interface:

1. All types of memory should be supported and tracable. This is nature
   for soft-dirty but should mention when the context is userfaultfd,
   because it used to only support anon/shmem/hugetlb. The problem is for
   a dirty tracking purpose these three types may not be enough, and it's
   legal to track anything e.g. any page cache writes from mmap.

2. Protections can be applied to partial of a memory range, without vma
   split/merge fuss.  The hope is that the tracking itself should not
   affect any vma layout change.  It also helps when reset happens because
   the reset will not need mmap write lock which can block the tracee.

3. Accuracy needs to be maintained.  This means we need pte markers to work
   on any type of VMA.

One could question that, the whole concept of async dirty tracking is not
really close to fundamentally what userfaultfd used to be: it's not "a
fault to be serviced by userspace" anymore. However, using userfaultfd-wp
here as a framework is convenient for us in at least:

1. VM_UFFD_WP vma flag, which has a very good name to suite something like
   this, so we don't need VM_YET_ANOTHER_SOFT_DIRTY. Just use a new
   feature bit to identify from a sync version of uffd-wp registration.

2. PTE markers logic can be leveraged across the whole kernel to maintain
   the uffd-wp bit as long as an arch supports, this also applies to this
   case where uffd-wp bit will be a hint to dirty information and it will
   not go lost easily (e.g. when some page cache ptes got zapped).

3. Reuse ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT) interface for either starting or
   resetting a range of memory, while there's no counterpart in the old
   soft-dirty world, hence if this is wanted in a new design we'll need a
   new interface otherwise.

We can somehow understand that commonality because uffd-wp was
fundamentally a similar idea of write-protecting pages just like
soft-dirty.

This implementation allows WP_ASYNC to imply WP_UNPOPULATED, because so far
WP_ASYNC seems to not usable if without WP_UNPOPULATE.  This also gives us
chance to modify impl of WP_ASYNC just in case it could be not depending on
WP_UNPOPULATED anymore in the future kernels. It's also fine to imply that
because both features will rely on PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP config option, so
they'll show up together (or both missing) in an UFFDIO_API probe.

vma_can_userfault() now allows any VMA if the userfaultfd registration is
only about async uffd-wp. So we can track dirty for all kinds of memory
including generic file systems (like XFS, EXT4 or BTRFS).

One trick worth mention in do_wp_page() is that we need to manually update
vmf->orig_pte here because it can be used later with a pte_same() check -
this path always has FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID set in the flags.

The major defect of this approach of dirty tracking is we need to populate
the pgtables when tracking starts. Soft-dirty doesn't do it like that.
It's unwanted in the case where the range of memory to track is huge and
unpopulated (e.g., tracking updates on a 10G file with mmap() on top,
without having any page cache installed yet). One way to improve this is
to allow pte markers exist for larger than PTE level for PMD+. That will
not change the interface if to implemented, so we can leave that for later.

Changes in v18:
- Rebase on top of next-20230613 (use ptep_get)

Changes in v17:
- Rebase on top of next-20230525

Changes in v12:
- Peter added the hugetlb support and revamped some other implementation
- Transferred the authorship to Peter
- Merge documentation to this patch

Changes in v11:
- Fix return code in userfaultfd_register() and minor changes here and
  there
- Rebase on top of next-20230307
- Base patches on UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230306213925.617814-1-peterx@redhat.com

  register if hugetlb pages are present when wp async flag is set

 support a mode flag (``UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP`` or ``UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP``
 respectively) to configure the mapping this way.
 
+If the userfaultfd context has ``UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC`` feature bit set,
+any vma registered with write-protection will work in async mode rather
+than the default sync mode.
+
+In async mode, there will be no message generated when a write operation
+happens, meanwhile the write-protection will be resolved automatically by
+the kernel.  It can be seen as a more accurate version of soft-dirty
+tracking and it can be different in a few ways:
+
+  - The dirty result will not be affected by vma changes (e.g. vma
+    merging) because the dirty is only tracked by the pte.
+
+  - It supports range operations by default, so one can enable tracking on
+    any range of memory as long as page aligned.
+
+  - Dirty information will not get lost if the pte was zapped due to
+    various reasons (e.g. during split of a shmem transparent huge page).
+
+  - Due to a reverted meaning of soft-dirty (page clean when uffd-wp bit
+    set; dirty when uffd-wp bit cleared), it has different semantics on
+    some of the memory operations.  For example: ``MADV_DONTNEED`` on
+    anonymous (or ``MADV_REMOVE`` on a file mapping) will be treated as
+    dirtying of memory by dropping uffd-wp bit during the procedure.
+
+The user app can collect the "written/dirty" status by looking up the
+uffd-wp bit for the pages being interested in /proc/pagemap.
+
+The page will not be under track of uffd-wp async mode until the page is
+explicitly write-protected by ``ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT)`` with the mode
+flag ``UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP`` set.  Trying to resolve a page fault
+that was tracked by async mode userfaultfd-wp is invalid.
+
+When userfaultfd-wp async mode is used alone, it can be applied to all
+kinds of memory.
