Add a python-written DAMON sysfs functionality selftest. It sets DAMON
parameters using Python module _damon_sysfs, reads updated kernel internal
DAMON status and parameters using a 'drgn' script, namely
drgn_dump_damon_status.py, and compare if the resulted DAMON internal
status is as expected. The test is very minimum at the moment.

Patch series "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs
functionality tests".
DAMON sysfs interface is the bridge between the user space and the kernel
space for DAMON parameters. There is no good and simple test to see if
the parameters are set as expected. Existing DAMON selftests therefore
test end-to-end features. For example, damos_quota_goal.py runs a DAMOS
scheme with quota goal set against a test program running an artificial
access pattern, and see if the result is as expected. Such tests cover
only a few part of DAMON. Adding more tests is also complicated.
Finally, the reliability of the test itself on different systems is bad.
'drgn' is a tool that can extract kernel internal data structures like
DAMON parameters. Add a test that passes specific DAMON parameters via
DAMON sysfs reusing _damon_sysfs.py, extract resulting DAMON parameters
via 'drgn', and compare those. Note that this test is not adding
exhaustive tests of all DAMON parameters and input combinations but very
basic things. Advancing the test infrastructure and adding more tests are
future works.
This patch (of 6):
'drgn' is a useful tool for extracting kernel internal data structures
such as DAMON's parameter and running status. Add a 'drgn' script that
extracts such DAMON internal data at runtime, for using it as a tool for
seeing if a test input has made expected results in the kernel.
The script saves or prints out the DAMON internal data as a json file or
string. This is for making use of it not very depends on 'drgn'. If
'drgn' is not available on a test setup and we find alternative tools for
doing that, the json-based tests can be updated to use an alternative tool
in future.
Note that the script is tested with 'drgn v0.0.22'.

The test_kmem_dead_cgroups test currently assumes that RCU and
memory reclaim will complete within 5 seconds. In some environments
this timeout may be insufficient, leading to spurious test failures.
This patch introduces max_time set to 20 which is then used in the
test. After 5th sec the debug message is printed to indicate the
cleanup is still ongoing.
In the system under test with 16 CPUs the original test was failing
most of the time and the cleanup time took usually approx. 6sec.
Further tests were conducted with and without do_rcu_barrier and the
results (respectively) are as follow:
quantiles 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1
1 2 3 8 20 (mean = 4.7667)
3 5 8 8 20 (mean = 7.6667)

The auto scaling on create creation used to automatically assign the new
hash because there was the private hash was unused and could be replaced
right away.
This is already racy because if the private hash is in use by a thread
then the visibile resize will be delayed. With the upcoming change to
wait for a RCU grace period before the hash can be assigned, the test
will always fail.
If the reported number of hash buckets is not updated after an
auto scaling event, block on an acquired lock with a timeout. The timeout
is the delay to wait towards a grace period and locking and a locked
pthread_mutex_t ensure that glibc calls into kernel using futex
operation which will assign new private hash if available.
This will retry every 100ms up to 2 seconds in total.

The step_after_suspend_test verifies that the system successfully
suspended and resumed by setting a timerfd and checking whether the
timer fully expired. However, this method is unreliable due to timing
races.
In practice, the system may take time to enter suspend, during which the
timer may expire just before or during the transition. As a result,
the remaining time after resume may show non-zero nanoseconds, even if
suspend/resume completed successfully. This leads to false test failures.
Replace the timer-based check with a read from
/sys/power/suspend_stats/success. This counter is incremented only
after a full suspend/resume cycle, providing a reliable and race-free
indicator.
Also remove the unused file descriptor for /sys/power/state, which
remained after switching to a system() call to trigger suspend [1].

hid-tools 0.10 fixes one inconvenience introduced by
commit 6a9e76f75c ("HID: multitouch: Disable touchpad
on firmware level while not in use")
This change added a new callback when a hid-nultitouch device is opened
or closed to put the underlying device into a given operating mode.
However, in the test cases, that means that while the single threaded
test is run, it opens the device but has to react to the device while
the open() is still running. hid-tools now implements a minimal thread
to circumvent this.
This makes the HID kernel tests in sync with hid-tools 0.10.
This has the net effect of running the full HID python testsuite in 6
minutes instead of 1 hour.

Some systems (e.g. minimal or real-time kernels) may not enable
Transparent Hugepages (THP), causing MADV_HUGEPAGE to return EINVAL. This
patch introduces a runtime check using the existing THP sysfs interface
and skips the hugepage merging test (`-H`) when THP is not available.
To avoid those failures:

It's true that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is explicitly enabled in
tools/testing/selftests/mm/config, so ideally the runtime environment
should also support THP.
However, in practice, we've found that on some systems:
- THP is disabled at boot time (transparent_hugepage=never)
- Or manually disabled via sysfs
- Or unavailable in RT kernels, containers, or minimal CI environments
In these cases, the test will fail with EINVAL on madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE),
even though the kernel config is correct.
To make the test suite more robust and avoid false negatives, this patch
adds a runtime check for /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled.
If THP is not available, the hugepage test (-H) is skipped with a clear
message.

This patch improves compatibility and robustness of the UFFD-WP test
(test_unmerge_uffd_wp) by correctly implementing the UFFDIO_API two-step
handshake as recommended by the userfaultfd(2) man page.
Key changes:
1. Use features=0 in the initial UFFDIO_API call to query supported
feature bits, rather than immediately requesting WP support.
2. Skip the test gracefully if:
- UFFDIO_API fails with EINVAL (e.g. unsupported API version), or
- UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP is not advertised by the kernel.
3. Close the initial userfaultfd and create a new one before enabling
the required feature, since UFFDIO_API can only be called once per fd.
4. Improve diagnostics by distinguishing between expected and unexpected
failures, using strerror() to report errors.
This ensures the test behaves correctly across a wider range of kernel
versions and configurations, while preserving the intended behavior on
kernels that support UFFD-WP.

The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of
vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of
vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this.
While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical
pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type.
Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes.
To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and
architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit.
The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code
as far as is needed.
We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

Patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently".
The VMA flags field vma->vm_flags is of type vm_flags_t. Right now this
is exactly equivalent to unsigned long, but it should not be assumed to
be.
Much code that references vma->vm_flags already correctly uses vm_flags_t,
but a fairly large chunk of code simply uses unsigned long and assumes
that the two are equivalent.
This series corrects that and has us use vm_flags_t consistently.
This series is motivated by the desire to, in a future series, adjust
vm_flags_t to be a u64 regardless of whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit in order to deal with the VMA flag exhaustion issue and avoid all
the various problems that arise from it (being unable to use certain
features in 32-bit, being unable to add new flags except for 64-bit, etc.)
This is therefore a critical first step towards that goal. At any rate,
using the correct type is of value regardless.
We additionally take the opportunity to refer to VMA flags as vm_flags
where possible to make clear what we're referring to.
Overall, this series does not introduce any functional change.
This patch (of 3):
We abstract the type of the VMA flags to vm_flags_t, however in may places
it is simply assumed this is unsigned long, which is simply incorrect.
At the moment this is simply an incongruity, however in future we plan to
change this type and therefore this change is a critical requirement for
doing so.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

In commit 3a75ccba04 ("mm: simplify vma merge structure and expand
comments") we introduced the vmg->target field to make the merging of
existing VMAs simpler - clarifying precisely which VMA would eventually
become the merged VMA once the merge operation was complete.
New VMA merging did not get quite the same treatment, retaining the rather
confusing convention of storing the target VMA in vmg->middle.
This patch corrects this state of affairs, utilising vmg->target for this
purpose for both vma_merge_new_range() and also for vma_expand().
We retain the WARN_ON for vmg->middle being specified in
vma_merge_new_range() as doing so would make no sense, but add an
additional debug assert for setting vmg->target.
This patch additionally updates VMA userland testing to account for this
change.

When running the khugepaged selftest for shmem (./khugepaged all:shmem), I
encountered the following test failures:
: Run test: collapse_full (khugepaged:shmem)
: Collapse multiple fully populated PTE table.... Fail
: ...
: Run test: collapse_single_pte_entry (khugepaged:shmem)
: Collapse PTE table with single PTE entry present.... Fail
: ...
: Run test: collapse_full_of_compound (khugepaged:shmem)
: Allocate huge page... OK
: Split huge page leaving single PTE page table full of compound pages... OK
: Collapse PTE table full of compound pages.... Fail
The reason for the failure is that it will set MADV_NOHUGEPAGE to prevent
khugepaged from continuing to scan shmem VMA after khugepaged finishes
scanning in the wait_for_scan() function. Moreover, shmem requires a
refault to establish PMD mappings.
However, after commit 2b0f922323 ("mm: don't install PMD mappings when
THPs are disabled by the hw/process/vma"), PMD mappings are prevented if
the VMA is set with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag, so shmem cannot establish PMD
mappings during refault.
One way to fix this issue is to move the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE setting after the
shmem refault. After shmem refault and check huge, the test case will
unmap the shmem immediately. So it seems unnecessary to set the
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.
Then we can simply drop the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE setting, and all khugepaged
test cases passed.
