24074a35c5c975 ("proc: Make inline name size calculation automatic")
started to put PDE allocations into kmalloc-256 which is unnecessary as
~40 character names are very rare.

Put allocation back into kmalloc-192 cache for 64-bit non-debug builds.

Put BUILD_BUG_ON to know when PDE size has gotten out of control.

<title>mm: /proc/pid/smaps_rollup: convert to single value seq_file</title>

<id>urn:sha1:258f669e7e88c18edbc23fe5ce00a476b924551f</id>
<content type='text'>
The /proc/pid/smaps_rollup file is currently implemented via the
m_start/m_next/m_stop seq_file iterators shared with the other maps files,
that iterate over vma's.  However, the rollup file doesn't print anything
for each vma, only accumulate the stats.

There are some issues with the current code as reported in [1] - the
accumulated stats can get skewed if seq_file start()/stop() op is called
multiple times, if show() is called multiple times, and after seeks to
non-zero position.

Patch [1] fixed those within existing design, but I believe it is
fundamentally wrong to expose the vma iterators to the seq_file mechanism
when smaps_rollup shows logically a single set of values for the whole
address space.

This patch thus refactors the code to provide a single "value" at offset
0, with vma iteration to gather the stats done internally.  This fixes the
situations where results are skewed, and simplifies the code, especially
in show_smap(), at the expense of somewhat less code reuse.

Patch series "cleanups and refactor of /proc/pid/smaps*".

The recent regression in /proc/pid/smaps made me look more into the code.
Especially the issues with smaps_rollup reported in [1] as explained in
Patch 4, which fixes them by refactoring the code.  Patches 2 and 3 are
preparations for that.  Patch 1 is me realizing that there's a lot of
boilerplate left from times where we tried (unsuccessfuly) to mark thread
stacks in the output.

Originally I had also plans to rework the translation from
/proc/pid/*maps* file offsets to the internal structures.  Now the offset
means "vma number", which is not really stable (vma's can come and go
between read() calls) and there's an extra caching of last vma's address.
My idea was that offsets would be interpreted directly as addresses, which
would also allow meaningful seeks (see the ugly seek_to_smaps_entry() in
tools/testing/selftests/vm/mlock2.h).  However loff_t is (signed) long
long so that might be insufficient somewhere for the unsigned long
addresses.

So the result is fixed issues with skewed /proc/pid/smaps_rollup results,
simpler smaps code, and a lot of unused code removed.

[1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&amp;m=151927723128134&amp;w=2

This patch (of 4):

Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps") introduced differences between /proc/PID/maps and
/proc/PID/task/TID/maps to mark thread stacks properly, and this was
also done for smaps and numa_maps.  However it didn't work properly and
was ultimately removed by commit b18cb64ead40 ("fs/proc: Stop trying to
report thread stacks").

Now the is_pid parameter for the related show_*() functions is unused
and we can remove it together with wrapper functions and ops structures
that differ for PID and TID cases only in this parameter.

Make calculation of the size of the inline name in struct proc_dir_entry
automatic, rather than having to manually encode the numbers and failing to
allow for lockdep.

Require a minimum inline name size of 33+1 to allow for names that look
like two hex numbers with a dash between.
