David Laight pointed out that we should deal with the min3() and max3()
mess too, which still does excessive expansion.
And our current macros are actually rather broken.
In particular, the macros did this:
#define min3(x, y, z) min((typeof(x))min(x, y), z)
#define max3(x, y, z) max((typeof(x))max(x, y), z)
and that not only is a nested expansion of possibly very complex
arguments with all that involves, the typing with that "typeof()" cast
is completely wrong.
For example, imagine what happens in max3() if 'x' happens to be a
'unsigned char', but 'y' and 'z' are 'unsigned long'. The types are
compatible, and there's no warning - but the result is just random
garbage.
No, I don't think we've ever hit that issue in practice, but since we
now have sane infrastructure for doing this right, let's just use it.
It fixes any excessive expansion, and also avoids these kinds of broken
type issues.

This clarifies the rules for min()/max()/clamp() type checking and makes
them a much more efficient macro expansion.
In particular, we now look at the type and range of the inputs to see
whether they work together, generating a mask of acceptable comparisons,
and then just verifying that the inputs have a shared case:
- an expression with a signed type can be used for
(1) signed comparisons
(2) unsigned comparisons if it is statically known to have a
non-negative value
- an expression with an unsigned type can be used for
(3) unsigned comparison
(4) signed comparisons if the type is smaller than 'int' and thus
the C integer promotion rules will make it signed anyway
Here rule (1) and (3) are obvious, and rule (2) is important in order to
allow obvious trivial constants to be used together with unsigned
values.
Rule (4) is not necessarily a good idea, but matches what we used to do,
and we have extant cases of this situation in the kernel. Notably with
bcachefs having an expression like
min(bch2_bucket_sectors_dirty(a), ca->mi.bucket_size)
where bch2_bucket_sectors_dirty() returns an 's64', and
'ca->mi.bucket_size' is of type 'u16'.
Technically that bcachefs comparison is clearly sensible on a C type
level, because the 'u16' will go through the normal C integer promotion,
and become 'int', and then we're comparing two signed values and
everything looks sane.
However, it's not entirely clear that a 'min(s64,u16)' operation makes a
lot of conceptual sense, and it's possible that we will remove rule (4).
After all, the _reason_ we have these complicated type checks is exactly
that the C type promotion rules are not very intuitive.
But at least for now the rule is in place for backwards compatibility.
Also note that rule (2) existed before, but is hugely relaxed by this
commit. It used to be true only for the simplest compile-time
non-negative integer constants. The new macro model will allow cases
where the compiler can trivially see that an expression is non-negative
even if it isn't necessarily a constant.
For example, the amdgpu driver does
min_t(size_t, sizeof(fru_info->serial), pia[addr] & 0x3F));
because our old 'min()' macro would see that 'pia[addr] & 0x3F' is of
type 'int' and clearly not a C constant expression, so doing a 'min()'
with a 'size_t' is a signedness violation.
Our new 'min()' macro still sees that 'pia[addr] & 0x3F' is of type
'int', but is smart enough to also see that it is clearly non-negative,
and thus would allow that case without any complaints.

Now that we no longer have any C constant expression contexts (ie array
size declarations or static initializers) that use min() or max(), we
can simpify the implementation by not having to worry about the result
staying as a C constant expression.
So now we can unconditionally just use temporary variables of the right
type, and get rid of the excessive expansion that used to come from the
use of
__builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr(...), ..
to pick the specialized code for constant expressions.
Another expansion simplification is to pass the temporary variables (in
addition to the original expression) to our __types_ok() macro. That
may superficially look like it complicates the macro, but when we only
want the type of the expression, expanding the temporary variable names
is much simpler and smaller than expanding the potentially complicated
original expression.
As a result, on my machine, doing a
$ time make drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/isp/kernels/ynr/ynr_1.0/ia_css_ynr.host.i
goes from
real 0m16.621s
user 0m15.360s
sys 0m1.221s
to
real 0m2.532s
user 0m2.091s
sys 0m0.452s
because the token expansion goes down dramatically.
In particular, the longest line expansion (which was line 71 of that
'ia_css_ynr.host.c' file) shrinks from 23,338kB (yes, 23MB for one
single line) to "just" 1,444kB (now "only" 1.4MB).
And yes, that line is still the line from hell, because it's doing
multiple levels of "min()/max()" expansion thanks to some of them being
hidden inside the uDIGIT_FITTING() macro.
Lorenzo has a nice cleanup patch that makes that driver use inline
functions instead of macros for sDIGIT_FITTING() and uDIGIT_FITTING(),
which will fix that line once and for all, but the 16-fold reduction in
this case does show why we need to simplify these helpers.

This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.
These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:
- trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed
Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.
- non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef
This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
generic version automatically" case.
- strange use case #1
A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
versioning is with
#define MAJ 1
#define MIN 2
#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)
which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as
#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"
instead.
- strange use case #2
A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
the traditional macro that takes arguments.
These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.
Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

This simplifies the min_t() and max_t() macros by no longer making them
work in the context of a C constant expression.
That means that you can no longer use them for static initializers or
for array sizes in type definitions, but there were only a couple of
such uses, and all of them were converted (famous last words) to use
MIN_T/MAX_T instead.

The minmax infrastructure is overkill for simple constants, and can
cause huge expansions because those simple constants are then used by
other things.
For example, 'pageblock_order' is a core VM constant, but because it was
implemented using 'min_t()' and all the type-checking that involves, it
actually expanded to something like 2.5kB of preprocessor noise.
And when that simple constant was then used inside other expansions:
#define pageblock_nr_pages (1UL << pageblock_order)
#define pageblock_start_pfn(pfn) ALIGN_DOWN((pfn), pageblock_nr_pages)
and we then use that inside a 'max()' macro:
case ISOLATE_SUCCESS:
update_cached = false;
last_migrated_pfn = max(cc->zone->zone_start_pfn,
pageblock_start_pfn(cc->migrate_pfn - 1));
the end result was that one statement expanding to 253kB in size.
There are probably other cases of this, but this one case certainly
stood out.
I've added 'MIN_T()' and 'MAX_T()' macros for this kind of "core simple
constant with specific type" use. These macros skip the type checking,
and as such need to be very sparingly used only for obvious cases that
have active issues like this.

The opposite min(signed_var, 20u) is still errored.
Since a comparison between signed and unsigned never makes the unsigned
value negative it is only necessary to adjust the __types_ok() test.

The type-check in min()/max() is there to stop unexpected results if a
negative value gets converted to a large unsigned value. However it also
rejects 'unsigned int' v 'unsigned long' compares which are common and
never problematc.
Replace the 'same type' check with a 'same signedness' check.
The new test isn't itself a compile time error, so use static_assert() to
report the error and give a meaningful error message.
Due to the way builtin_choose_expr() works detecting the error in the
'non-constant' side (where static_assert() can be used) also detects
errors when the arguments are constant.

Patch series "minmax: Relax type checks in min() and max()", v4.
The min() (etc) functions in minmax.h require that the arguments have
exactly the same types.
However when the type check fails, rather than look at the types and fix
the type of a variable/constant, everyone seems to jump on min_t(). In
reality min_t() ought to be rare - when something unusual is being done,
not normality.
The orginal min() (added in 2.4.9) replaced several inline functions and
included the type - so matched the implicit casting of the function call.
This was renamed min_t() in 2.4.10 and the current min() added. There is
no actual indication that the conversion of negatve values to large
unsigned values has ever been an actual problem.
A quick grep shows 5734 min() and 4597 min_t(). Having the casts on
almost half of the calls shows that something is clearly wrong.
If the wrong type is picked (and it is far too easy to pick the type of
the result instead of the larger input) then significant bits can get
discarded.
Pretty much the worst example is in the derived clamp_val(), consider:
unsigned char x = 200u;
y = clamp_val(x, 10u, 300u);
I also suspect that many of the min_t(u16, ...) are actually wrong. For
example copy_data() in printk_ringbuffer.c contains:
data_size = min_t(u16, buf_size, len);
Here buf_size is 'unsigned int' and len 'u16', pass a 64k buffer (can you
prove that doesn't happen?) and no data is returned. Apparantly it did -
and has since been fixed.
The only reason that most of the min_t() are 'fine' is that pretty much
all the values in the kernel are between 0 and INT_MAX.
Patch 1 adds umin(), this uses integer promotions to convert both
arguments to 'unsigned long long'. It can be used to compare a signed
type that is known to contain a non-negative value with an unsigned type.
The compiler typically optimises it all away. Added first so that it can
be referred to in patch 2.
Patch 2 replaces the 'same type' check with a 'same signedness' one. This
makes min(unsigned_int_var, sizeof()) be ok. The error message is also
improved and will contain the expanded form of both arguments (useful for
seeing how constants are defined).
Patch 3 just fixes some whitespace.
Patch 4 allows comparisons of 'unsigned char' and 'unsigned short' to
signed types. The integer promotion rules convert them both to 'signed
int' prior to the comparison so they can never cause a negative value be
converted to a large positive one.
Patch 5 (rewritted for v4) allows comparisons of unsigned values against
non-negative constant integer expressions. This makes
min(unsigned_int_var, 4) be ok.
The only common case that is still errored is the comparison of signed
values against unsigned constant integer expressions below __INT_MAX__.
Typcally min(int_val, sizeof (foo)), the real fix for this is casting the
constant: min(int_var, (int)sizeof (foo)).
With all the patches applied pretty much all the min_t() could be replaced
by min(), and most of the rest by umin(). However they all need careful
inspection due to code like:
sz = min_t(unsigned char, sz - 1, LIM - 1) + 1;
which converts 0 to LIM.
This patch (of 6):
umin() and umax() can be used when min()/max() errors a signed v unsigned
compare when the signed value is known to be non-negative.
Unlike min_t(some_unsigned_type, a, b) umin() will never mask off high
bits if an inappropriate type is selected.
The '+ 0u + 0ul + 0ull' may look strange.
The '+ 0u' is needed for 'signed int' on 64bit systems.
The '+ 0ul' is needed for 'signed long' on 32bit systems.
The '+ 0ull' is needed for 'signed long long'.

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.
This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:
set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
flush_dcache_folio(folio)
flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)
flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them. The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.
The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.
One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking. This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.
The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86. I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too. Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.
This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.
This patch (of 38):
Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND). It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type. Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

Currently the clamp algorithm does:
if (val > hi)
val = hi;
if (val < lo)
val = lo;
But since hi > lo by definition, this can be made more efficient with:
if (val > hi)
val = hi;
else if (val < lo)
val = lo;
So fix up the clamp and clamp_t functions to do this, adding the same
argument checking as for min and min_t.
For simple cases, code generation on x86_64 and aarch64 stay about the
same:
before:
cmp edi, edx
mov eax, esi
cmova edi, edx
cmp edi, esi
cmovnb eax, edi
ret
after:
cmp edi, esi
mov eax, edx
cmovnb esi, edi
cmp edi, edx
cmovb eax, esi
ret
before:
cmp w0, w2
csel w8, w0, w2, lo
cmp w8, w1
csel w0, w8, w1, hi
ret
after:
cmp w0, w1
csel w8, w0, w1, hi
cmp w0, w2
csel w0, w8, w2, lo
ret
On MIPS64, however, code generation improves, by removing arithmetic in
the second branch:
before:
sltu $3,$6,$4
bne $3,$0,.L2
move $2,$6
move $2,$4
.L2:
sltu $3,$2,$5
bnel $3,$0,.L7
move $2,$5
.L7:
jr $31
nop
after:
sltu $3,$4,$6
beq $3,$0,.L13
move $2,$6
sltu $3,$4,$5
bne $3,$0,.L12
move $2,$4
.L13:
jr $31
nop
.L12:
jr $31
move $2,$5
For more complex cases with surrounding code, the effects are a bit
more complicated. For example, consider this simplified version of
timestamp_truncate() from fs/inode.c on x86_64:
struct timespec64 timestamp_truncate(struct timespec64 t, struct inode *inode)
{
struct super_block *sb = inode->i_sb;
unsigned int gran = sb->s_time_gran;
t.tv_sec = clamp(t.tv_sec, sb->s_time_min, sb->s_time_max);
if (t.tv_sec == sb->s_time_max || t.tv_sec == sb->s_time_min)
t.tv_nsec = 0;
return t;
}
before:
mov r8, rdx
mov rdx, rsi
mov rcx, QWORD PTR [r8]
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rcx+8]
mov rcx, QWORD PTR [rcx+16]
cmp rax, rdi
mov r8, rcx
cmovge rdi, rax
cmp rdi, rcx
cmovle r8, rdi
cmp rax, r8
je .L4
cmp rdi, rcx
jge .L4
mov rax, r8
ret
.L4:
xor edx, edx
mov rax, r8
ret
after:
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rdx]
mov rdx, QWORD PTR [rax+8]
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rax+16]
cmp rax, rdi
jg .L6
mov r8, rax
xor edx, edx
.L2:
mov rax, r8
ret
.L6:
cmp rdx, rdi
mov r8, rdi
cmovge r8, rdx
cmp rax, r8
je .L4
xor eax, eax
cmp rdx, rdi
cmovl rax, rsi
mov rdx, rax
mov rax, r8
ret
.L4:
xor edx, edx
jmp .L2
In this case, we actually gain a branch, unfortunately, because the
compiler's replacement axioms no longer as cleanly apply.
So all and all, this change is a bit of a mixed bag.

The clamp family of functions only makes sense if hi>=lo. If hi and lo
are compile-time constants, then raise a build error. Doing so has
already caught buggy code. This also introduces the infrastructure to
improve the clamping function in subsequent commits.

GENMASK() has an input check which uses __builtin_choose_expr() to
enable a compile time sanity check of its inputs if they are known at
compile time.
However, it turns out that __builtin_constant_p() does not always return
a compile time constant [0]. It was thought this problem was fixed with
gcc 4.9 [1], but apparently this is not the case [2].
Switch to use __is_constexpr() instead which always returns a compile time
constant, regardless of its inputs.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al. helpers.
At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.
