Problem
=======
Memory DIMMs are subject to multi-bit flips, i.e. memory errors.
As memory size and density increase, the chances of and number of
memory errors increase. The increasing size and density of server
RAM in the data center and cloud have shown increased uncorrectable
memory errors. There are already mechanisms in the kernel to recover
from uncorrectable memory errors. This series of patches provides
the recovery mechanism for the particular kernel agent khugepaged
when it collapses memory pages.

Impact
======
The main reason we chose to make khugepaged collapsing tolerant of
memory failures was its high possibility of accessing poisoned memory
while performing functionally optional compaction actions.
Standard applications typically don't have strict requirements on
the size of its pages. So they are given 4K pages by the kernel.
The kernel is able to improve application performance by either

  1) giving applications 2M pages to begin with, or
  2) collapsing 4K pages into 2M pages when possible.

This collapsing operation is done by khugepaged, a kernel agent that
is constantly scanning memory. When collapsing 4K pages into a 2M page,
it must copy the data from the 4K pages into a physically contiguous
2M page. Therefore, as long as there exists one poisoned cache line in
collapsible 4K pages, khugepaged will eventually access it. The current
impact to users is a machine check exception triggered kernel panic.
However, khugepaged’s compaction operations are not functionally required
kernel actions. Therefore making khugepaged tolerant to poisoned memory
will greatly improve user experience.

This patch series is for cases where khugepaged is the first guy
that detects the memory errors on the poisoned pages. IOW, the pages
are not known to have memory errors when khugepaged collapsing gets to
them. In our observation, this happens frequently when the huge page
ratio of the system is relatively low, which is fairly common in
virtual machines running on cloud.

Solution
========
As stated before, it is less desirable to crash the system only because
khugepaged accesses poisoned pages while it is collapsing 4K pages.
The high level idea of this patch series is to skip the group of pages
(usually 512 4K-size pages) once khugepaged finds one of them is poisoned,
as these pages have become ineligible to be collapsed.

We are also careful to unwind operations khuagepaged has performed before
it detects memory failures. For example, before copying and collapsing
a group of anonymous pages into a huge page, the source pages will be
isolated and their page table is unlinked from their PMD. These operations
need to be undone in order to ensure these pages are not changed/lost from
the perspective of other threads (both user and kernel space). As for
file backed memory pages, there already exists a rollback case. This
patch just extends it so that khugepaged also correctly rolls back when
it fails to copy poisoned 4K pages.

v10 changes
- Incorporate feedbacks from Kirill A. Shutemov
  <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
- Refactor the 2nd loop (after the loop for copying memory) into 2 helper
  functions, one for actions to take when copying succeeded, one for when
  copying failed due to #MC.
- Use copy_mc_user_highpage for anonymous memory.

v9 changes
- Incorporate feedback from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
- Move copy_mc_highpage into khugepage.c as a static out-of-line
  function copy_mc_page.

v8 changes
- Incorporate feedbacks from Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
- Rename copy_highpage_mc to copy_mc_highpage.
- Update copy_mc_highpage with kmsan changes.
- Code style changes:
  1) copy_mc_highpage returns int as "copy" is an action and is consistent
     with copy_mc_user_highpage.

     with __collapse_huge_page_isolate/swapin.
  3) variables are declared in separate lines in collapse_file.

v7 changes
- Fix a bug "KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds Read in collapse_file". After

  clear to its reader.

Make __collapse_huge_page_copy return whether copying anonymous pages
succeeded, and make collapse_huge_page handle the return status.

Break existing PTE scan loop into two for-loops. The first loop copies
source pages into target huge page, and can fail gracefully when running
into memory errors in source pages. If copying all pages succeeds, the
second loop releases and clears up these normal pages. Otherwise, the
second loop rolls back the page table and page states by:
- re-establishing the original PTEs-to-PMD connection.
- releasing source pages back to their LRU list.

Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
   non-huge anonymous memory buffer.
2. Pick 4 random buffer locations (2 in each thread) and inject
   uncorrectable memory errors at corresponding physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
   calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from poisoned
   pages and skips collapsing them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
   data corruption.

Similar to how copy_mc_user_highpage is implemented for
copy_user_highpage on #MC supported architecture, introduce
the #MC handled version of copy_highpage.

This helper has immediate usage when khugepaged wants to copy
file-backed memory pages and tolerate #MC.

Make collapse_file roll back when copying pages failed. More concretely:
- extract copying operations into a separate loop
- postpone the updates for nr_none until both scanning and copying
  succeeded
- postpone joining small xarray entries until both scanning and copying
  succeeded
- postpone the update operations to NR_XXX_THPS until both scanning and
  copying succeeded
- for non-SHMEM file, roll back filemap_nr_thps_inc if scan succeeded but
  copying failed

Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. Mount tmpfs at /mnt/ramdisk.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
   non-huge memory buffer from /mnt/ramdisk.
2. Pick 4 random buffer address (2 in each thread) and inject
   uncorrectable memory errors at physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
   calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and then check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from
   poisoned pages by skipping them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
   data corruption.

Both I and Hugh already gave reviewed/acked for the previous version.
Since there were just some minor changes so you could keep the
reviewed/acked from the previous version.
