In some cases, nested locks may be needed, so {mtree,mas}_lock_nested is
introduced. For example, when duplicating maple tree, we need to hold the
locks of two trees, in which case nested locks are needed.
At the same time, add the definition of spin_lock_nested() in tools for
testing.

mas_set_range() resets the node to MAS_START, which will cause a re-walk
of the tree to the range. This is unnecessary when the maple state is
already at the correct location of the write. Add a function that only
sets the range to avoid unnecessary re-walking of the tree.

Some users of the maple tree may want to move to the previous range
regardless of the value stored there. Add this interface as well as the
'find' variant to support walking to the first value, then iterating over
the previous ranges.

Some users of the maple tree may want to move to the next range in the
tree, even if it stores a NULL. This family of function provides that
functionality by advancing one slot at a time and returning the result,
while mas_contiguous() will iterate over the range and stop on
encountering the first NULL.

Along the development cycle, the testing code support for module/in-kernel
compiles was removed. Restore this functionality by moving any internal
API tests to the userspace side, as well as threading tests. Fix the
lockdep issues and add a way to reduce memory usage so the tests can
complete with KASAN + memleak detection. Make the tests work on 32 bit
hosts where possible and detect 32 bit hosts in the radix test suite.

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.

Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data

non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.
