This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent
(physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective
RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one
implementation of this kind of NVDIMM.
Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver,
either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers
allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally
by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based
persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail
here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt).
However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which
*have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver
"hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like
normal RAM would be.
To make this work, management software must remove the device from
being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure:
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device:
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible
in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing
udev-initiated memory hotplug rules.
This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory
is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be
unbound and assigned back to device_dax.
The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device
is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for
this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if
bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the
device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It
would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out
the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and
write volatile data all over your good data.
This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added
memory from the persistent memory device that came from the
firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that
require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate
memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected
to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing
nodes.
Because NUMA nodes are created, the existing NUMA APIs and tools
are sufficient to create policies for applications or memory areas
to have affinity for or an aversion to using this memory.
There is currently some metadata at the beginning of pmem regions.
The section-size memory hotplug restrictions, plus this small
reserved area can cause the "loss" of a section or two of capacity.
This should be fixable in follow-on patches. But, as a first step,
losing 256MB of memory (worst case) out of hundreds of gigabytes
is a good tradeoff vs. the required code to fix this up precisely.
This calculation is also the reason we export
memory_block_size_bytes().

In the process of onlining memory, we use walk_system_ram_range()
to find the actual RAM areas inside of the area being onlined.
However, it currently only finds memory resources which are
"top-level" iomem_resources. Children are not currently
searched which causes it to skip System RAM in areas like this
(in the format of /proc/iomem):
a0000000-bfffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
a0000000-afffffff : System RAM
Changing the true->false here allows children to be searched
as well. We need this because we add a new "System RAM"
resource underneath the "persistent memory" resource when
we use persistent memory in a volatile mode.

The mm/resource.c code is used to manage the physical address
space. The current resource configuration can be viewed in
/proc/iomem. An example of this is at the bottom of this
description.
The nvdimm subsystem "owns" the physical address resources which
map to persistent memory and has resources inserted for them as
"Persistent Memory". The best way to repurpose this for volatile
use is to leave the existing resource in place, but add a "System
RAM" resource underneath it. This clearly communicates the
ownership relationship of this memory.
The request_resource_conflict() API only deals with the
top-level resources. Replace it with __request_region() which
will search for !IORESOURCE_BUSY areas lower in the resource
tree than the top level.
We *could* also simply truncate the existing top-level
"Persistent Memory" resource and take over the released address
space. But, this means that if we ever decide to hot-unplug the
"RAM" and give it back, we need to recreate the original setup,
which may mean going back to the BIOS tables.
This should have no real effect on the existing collision
detection because the areas that truly conflict should be marked
IORESOURCE_BUSY.

HMM consumes physical address space for its own use, even
though nothing is mapped or accessible there. It uses a
special resource description (IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY)
to uniquely identify these areas.
When HMM consumes address space, it makes a best guess about
what to consume. However, it is possible that a future memory
or device hotplug can collide with the reserved area. In the
case of these conflicts, there is an error message in
register_memory_resource().
Later patches in this series move register_memory_resource()
from using request_resource_conflict() to __request_region().
Unfortunately, __request_region() does not return the conflict
like the previous function did, which makes it impossible to
check for IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY in a conflicting
resource.
Instead of warning in register_memory_resource(), move the
check into the core resource code itself (__request_region())
where the conflicting resource _is_ available. This has the
added bonus of producing a warning in case of HMM conflicts
with devices *or* RAM address space, as opposed to the RAM-
only warnings that were there previously.

walk_system_ram_range() can return an error code either becuase
*it* failed, or because the 'func' that it calls returned an
error. The memory hotplug does the following:
ret = walk_system_ram_range(..., func);
if (ret)
return ret;
and 'ret' makes it out to userspace, eventually. The problem
s, walk_system_ram_range() failues that result from *it* failing
(as opposed to 'func') return -1. That leads to a very odd
-EPERM (-1) return code out to userspace.
Make walk_system_ram_range() return -EINVAL for internal
failures to keep userspace less confused.
This return code is compatible with all the callers that I
audited.

Add a 'modalias' attribute to devices under the DAX bus so that userspace
is able to dynamically load modules as needed.
Normally, udev can get the modalias from 'uevent', and that is correctly
set up by the DAX bus. However other tooling such as 'libndctl' for
interacting with drivers/nvdimm/, and 'libdaxctl' for drivers/dax/ can
also use the modalias to dynamically load modules via libkmod lookups.
The 'nd' bus set up by the libnvdimm subsystem exports a modalias
attribute. Imitate this to export the same for the 'dax' bus.

The target-node attribute is the Linux numa-node that a device-dax
instance may create when it is online. Prior to being online the
device's 'numa_node' property reflects the closest online cpu node which
is the typical expectation of a device 'numa_node'. Once it is online it
becomes its own distinct numa node, i.e. 'target_node'.
Export the 'target_node' property to give userspace tooling the ability
to predict the effective numa-node from a device-dax instance configured
to provide 'System RAM' capacity.

Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).
Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.
Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.

this in place the default policy of using device-dax for performance
differentiated memory can be overridden by user-space policy that can

Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed
on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made:
1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time
2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation
after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax()
and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings.

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are
somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when
mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page
cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping".
The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of
system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users
shouldn't really even care about.
So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the
semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages
that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be"
part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee
that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network
filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use).
In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the
information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is
a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code
had a comment saying
Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely.
and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really
comfortable.
NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to
change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a
mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping
that doesn't actually have any pages in it.
I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the
info leak is real.
We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have
valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the
information leak sanely.

Commit 594cc251fdd0 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'")
broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck.
It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which
would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the
addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the
access of the very last byte of the user address space.
The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but
they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max(). But
with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now
exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function.
For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this:
#define __access_ok(addr, size) \
((get_fs().seg & (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0)
and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the
USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000).
And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check. Because it's
off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user
address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do.
Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space,
so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail
the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't. As a result, the
user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they
literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max
access is going to be that last byte of the user address space.
Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses
the arguments twice.
And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug:
#define __addr_ok(addr) \
((unsigned long __force)(addr) < current_thread_info()->addr_limit.seg)
so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit. But then:
#define __access_ok(addr, size) \
(__addr_ok((addr) + (size)))
is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size"
is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one
byte access at the last address of the user address space")
The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't
actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that
talks about overflow.
So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy
implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice
(although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not
that anybody likely cares about SH security).
This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH.
It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic:
unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b;
which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless
the length was zero". We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd
just hit an underflow instead.
For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't
actually as expensive as it initially looks.

Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a
tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably
reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound.
It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper
"Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors"
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see
commit 059c2a4d8e16 ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support").
On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and
the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors
without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to
enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES
instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7,
on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than
AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster.
In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and
names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in
a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their
encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information.
Adiantum does not have this problem.
Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the
master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving
per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs
and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This
configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt
policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.

Some time ago, Sam pointed out a certain degree of overwrap between
generic-y and mandatory-y. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/10/121)
I tweaked the meaning of mandatory-y a little bit; now it defines the
minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have.
If arch does not have specific implementation of a mandatory header,
Kbuild will let it fallback to the asm-generic one by automatically
generating a wrapper. This will allow to drop lots of redundant
generic-y defines.
Previously, "mandatory" was used in the context of UAPI, but I guess
this can be extended to kernel space ASM headers.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.
