commit 96204e15310c218fd9355bdcacd02fed1d18070e upstream.
The addition of commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries") caused the "virtual_address_range" mm selftest to start failing on arm64. Let's fix that regression.
There were 2 visible problems when running the test; 1) it takes much longer to execute, and 2) the test fails. Both are related:
The (first part of the) test allocates as many 1GB anonymous blocks as it can in the low 256TB of address space, passing NULL as the addr hint to mmap. Before the faulty patch, all allocations were abutted and contained in a single, merged VMA. However, after this patch, each allocation is in its own VMA, and there is a 2M gap between each VMA. This causes the 2 problems in the test: 1) mmap becomes MUCH slower because there are so many VMAs to check to find a new 1G gap. 2) mmap fails once it hits the VMA limit (/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count). Hitting this limit then causes a subsequent calloc() to fail, which causes the test to fail.
The problem is that arm64 (unlike x86) selects ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT. But __thp_get_unmapped_area() allocates len+2M then always aligns to the bottom of the discovered gap. That causes the 2M hole.
Fix this by detecting cases where we can still achive the alignment goal when moved to the top of the allocated area, if configured to prefer top-down allocation.
While we are at it, fix thp_get_unmapped_area's use of pgoff, which should always be zero for anonymous mappings. Prior to the faulty change, while it was possible for user space to pass in pgoff!=0, the old mm->get_unmapped_area() handler would not use it. thp_get_unmapped_area() does use it, so let's explicitly zero it before calling the handler. This should also be the correct behavior for arches that define their own get_unmapped_area() handler.
