  This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4
for a detailed description of the feature.

The series is based on Linus master (partial 6.5 merge window), and
structured like this:

- Patches 1-3 are preparation / refactoring
- Patches 4-6 implement and advertise the new feature
- Patches 7-8 implement a unit test for the new feature

Changelog:

v2 -> v3:
 - Rebase onto current Linus master.
 - Don't overwrite existing PTE markers for non-hugetlb UFFDIO_POISON.
   Before, non-hugetlb would override them, but hugetlb would not. I don't
   think there's a use case where we *want* to override a UFFD_WP marker
   for example, so take the more conservative behavior for all kinds of
   memory.
 - [Peter] Drop hugetlb mfill atomic refactoring, since it isn't needed
   for this series (we don't touch that code directly anyway).
 - [Peter] Switch to re-using PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR instead of defining
   new PTE_MARKER_UFFD_POISON.
 - [Peter] Extract start / len range overflow check into existing
   validate_range helper; this fixes the style issue of unnecessary braces
   in the UFFDIO_POISON implementation, because this code is just deleted.
 - [Peter] Extract file size check out into a new helper.
 - [Peter] Defer actually "enabling" the new feature until the last commit
   in the series; combine this with adding the documentation. As a
   consequence, move the selftest commits after this one.
 - [Randy] Fix typo in documentation.

v1 -> v2:
 - [Peter] Return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON not VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, to yield the
   correct behavior for KVM (guest MCE).
 - [Peter] Rename UFFDIO_SIGBUS to UFFDIO_POISON.
 - [Peter] Implement hugetlbfs support for UFFDIO_POISON.
