fs/proc/task_mmu: Implement IOCTL to get and/or the clear info about …
…PTEs This IOCTL, PAGEMAP_SCAN on pagemap file can be used to get and/or clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are supported in this ioctl: - Get the information if the pages have been written-to (PAGE_IS_WRITTEN), file mapped (PAGE_IS_FILE), present (PAGE_IS_PRESENT) or swapped (PAGE_IS_SWAPPED). - Write-protect the pages (PAGEMAP_WP_ENGAGE) to start finding which pages have been written-to. - Find pages which have been written-to and write protect the pages (atomic PAGE_IS_WRITTEN + PAGEMAP_WP_ENGAGE) The uffd should have been registered on the memory range before performing any WP/WT (Write Protect/Writtern-To) related operations with the IOCTL. struct pagemap_scan_args is used as the argument of the IOCTL. In this struct: - The range is specified through start and len. - The output buffer of struct page_region array and size is specified as vec and vec_len. - The optional maximum requested pages are specified in the max_pages. - The flags can be specified in the flags field. The PAGEMAP_WP_ENGAGE is the only added flag at this time. - The masks are specified in required_mask, anyof_mask, excluded_ mask and return_mask. This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. This IOCTL doesn't support hugetlbs at the moment. No information about hugetlb can be obtained. This patch has evolved from a basic patch from Gabriel Krisman Bertazi. Signed-off-by: Muhammad Usama Anjum <usama.anjum@collabora.com>
