fs/proc/task_mmu: implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about PTEs
The PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL on the pagemap file can be used to get or optionally
clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are
supported in this IOCTL:
- Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided
criteria. This is performed when the output buffer is specified.
- Write-protect the pages. The PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is used to write-protect
the pages of interest. The PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC aborts the operation if
non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
can be used with or without PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC.
- Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where
we can get and write protect the pages as well.
Following flags about pages are currently supported:
- PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED - Page has async-write-protection enabled
- PAGE_IS_WRITTEN - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected
- PAGE_IS_FILE - Page is file backed
- PAGE_IS_PRESENT - Page is present in the memory
- PAGE_IS_SWAPPED - Page is in swapped
- PAGE_IS_PFNZERO - Page has zero PFN
- PAGE_IS_HUGE - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed
This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. The
entire address range passed by user [start, end) is scanned until either
the user provided buffer is full or max_pages have been found.
