Kirill A. Shutemov c8394812e5 uprobes: split THPs before trying to replace them
Patch series "Fix few rmap-related THP bugs", v3.

The patchset fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and
page_idle_clear_pte_refs().

To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_vma_mapped_walk() --
which replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP
cases.

Patchset overview:
  - First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the
    patchset, just spotted it at the same time);

  - Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(),
    page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core;

  - Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users
    (plus remove_migration_pte()) to page_vma_mapped_walk() and drop
    unused helpers.

I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead
to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour.

This patch (of 12):

For THPs page_check_address() always fails.  It leads to endless loop in
uprobe_write_opcode().

Testcase with huge-tmpfs (uprobes cannot probe anonymous memory).

	mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
	mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt
	gcc -Wall -O2 -o /mnt/test -x c - <<EOF
	int main(void)
	{
		return 0;
	}
	/* Padding to map the code segment with huge pmd */
	asm (".zero 2097152");
	EOF
	echo 'p /mnt/test:0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
	/mnt/test

Let's split THPs before trying to replace.
