[v11,24/26] x86/mm: add speculative pagefault handling

Commit Message

Laurent Dufour May 17, 2018, 11:06 a.m. UTC

From: Peter Zijlstra <[e-mail]>

Try a speculative fault before acquiring mmap_sem, if it returns with
VM_FAULT_RETRY continue with the mmap_sem acquisition and do the
traditional fault.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[e-mail]>

[Clearing of FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY is now done in
 handle_speculative_fault()]
[Retry with usual fault path in the case VM_ERROR is returned by
 handle_speculative_fault(). This allows signal to be delivered]
[Don't build SPF call if !CONFIG_SPECULATIVE_PAGE_FAULT]
[Handle memory protection key fault]
