After "mm/mincore: make mincore() more conservative" we sometimes restrict the information about page cache residency, which needs to be done without breaking existing userspace, as much as possible. Instead of returning with error, we thus fake the results. For that we return residency values as 1, which should be safer than faking them as 0, as there might theoretically exist code that would try to fault in the page(s) in a loop until mincore() returns 1 for them. Faking 1 however means that such code would not fault in a page even if it was not truly in page cache, with possibly unwanted performance implications. We can improve the situation by revisting the approach of 574823bfab82 ("Change mincore() to count "mapped" pages rather than "cached" pages"), later reverted by 30bac164aca7 and replaced by restricting/faking the results. In this patch we apply the approach only to cases where page cache residency check is restricted. Thus mincore() will return 0 for an unmapped page (which may or may not be resident in a pagecache), and 1 after the process faults it in. One potential downside is that mincore() users will be now able to recognize when a previously mapped page was reclaimed. While that might be useful for some attack scenarios, it is not as crucial as recognizing that somebody else faulted the page in, which is the main reason we are making mincore() more conservative. For detecting that pages being reclaimed, there are also other existing ways anyway.
