Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The changes in here are:
- text_poke() fixes and an extensive set of executability lockdowns,
to (hopefully) eliminate the last residual circumstances under
which we are using W|X mappings even temporarily on x86 kernels.
This required a broad range of surgery in text patching facilities,
module loading, trampoline handling and other bits.
- tweak page fault messages to be more informative and more
structured.
- remove DISCONTIGMEM support on x86-32 and make SPARSEMEM the
default.
- reduce KASLR granularity on 5-level paging kernels from 512 GB to
1 GB.
- misc other changes and updates"

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

Whilst no architectures actually enable support for huge p4d mappings in
the vmap area, the code that is implemented should be using
break-before-make, as we do for pud and pmd huge entries.

We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.
Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.
So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
initial static page tables.

When page-table entries are set, the compiler might optimize their
assignment by using multiple instructions to set the PTE. This might
turn into a security hazard if the user somehow manages to use the
interim PTE. L1TF does not make our lives easier, making even an interim
non-present PTE a security hazard.
Using WRITE_ONCE() to set PTEs and friends should prevent this potential
security hazard.
I skimmed the differences in the binary with and without this patch. The
differences are (obviously) greater when CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n as more
code optimizations are possible. For better and worse, the impact on the
binary with this patch is pretty small. Skimming the code did not cause
anything to jump out as a security hazard, but it seems that at least
move_soft_dirty_pte() caused set_pte_at() to use multiple writes.

Pull x86 PTI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The Speck brigade sadly provides yet another large set of patches
destroying the perfomance which we carefully built and preserved
- PTI support for 32bit PAE. The missing counter part to the 64bit
PTI code implemented by Joerg.
- A set of fixes for the Global Bit mechanics for non PCID CPUs which
were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly
exposing interesting memory needlessly.
- Protection against userspace-userspace SpectreRSB
- Support for the upcoming Enhanced IBRS mode, which is preferred
over IBRS. Unfortunately we dont know the performance impact of
this, but it's expected to be less horrible than the IBRS
hammering.
- Cleanups and simplifications"

Allocate a kernel and a user page-table root when PTI is enabled. Also
allocate a full page per root for PAE because otherwise the bit to flip in
CR3 to switch between them would be non-constant, which creates a lot of

ioremap() calls pud_free_pmd_page() / pmd_free_pte_page() when it creates
a pud / pmd map. The following preconditions are met at their entry.
- All pte entries for a target pud/pmd address range have been cleared.
- System-wide TLB purges have been peformed for a target pud/pmd address
range.
The preconditions assure that there is no stale TLB entry for the range.
Speculation may not cache TLB entries since it requires all levels of page
entries, including ptes, to have P & A-bits set for an associated address.
However, speculation may cache pud/pmd entries (paging-structure caches)
when they have P-bit set.
Add a system-wide TLB purge (INVLPG) to a single page after clearing
pud/pmd entry's P-bit.
SDM 4.10.4.1, Operation that Invalidate TLBs and Paging-Structure Caches,
states that:
INVLPG invalidates all paging-structure caches associated with the
current PCID regardless of the liner addresses to which they correspond.

The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale
TLB entry.
1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set.
2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0.
3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with
a new value.
4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB,
which leads to a kernel panic.
Commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page
table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above
case on ARM64.
To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed
in this case on ARM64.
Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()
so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.

ioremap() supports pmd mappings on x86-PAE. However, kernel's pmd
tables are not shared among processes on x86-PAE. Therefore, any
update to sync'd pmd entries need re-syncing. Freeing a pte page
also leads to a vmalloc fault and hits the BUG_ON in vmalloc_sync_one().
Disable free page handling on x86-PAE. pud_free_pmd_page() and
pmd_free_pte_page() simply return 0 if a given pud/pmd entry is present.
This assures that ioremap() does not update sync'd pmd entries at the
cost of falling back to pte mappings.

Pull x86 updates and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix the (late) fallout from the vector management rework causing
hlist corruption and irq descriptor reference leaks caused by a
missing sanity check.
The straight forward fix triggered another long standing issue to
surface. The pre rework code hid the issue due to being way slower,
but now the chance that user space sees an EBUSY error return when
updating irq affinities is way higher, though quite a bunch of
userspace tools do not handle it properly despite the fact that EBUSY
could be returned for at least 10 years.
It turned out that the EBUSY return can be avoided completely by
utilizing the existing delayed affinity update mechanism for irq
remapped scenarios as well. That's a bit more error handling in the
kernel, but avoids fruitless fingerpointing discussions with tool
developers.

For pgd page table pages, x86 overloads the page->index field to store a
pointer to the mm_struct. Rename this to pt_mm so it's visible to other
users.

AMD SME claims one bit from physical address to indicate whether the
page is encrypted or not. To achieve that we clear out the bit from
__PHYSICAL_MASK.
The capability to adjust __PHYSICAL_MASK is required beyond AMD SME.
For instance for upcoming Intel Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption.
Factor it out into a separate feature with own Kconfig handle.
It also helps with overhead of AMD SME. It saves more than 3k in .text
on defconfig + AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT:
add/remove: 3/2 grow/shrink: 5/110 up/down: 189/-3753 (-3564)
We would need to return to this once we have infrastructure to patch
constants in code. That's good candidate for it.

The pmd_set_huge() and pud_set_huge() functions are used from
the generic ioremap() code to establish large mappings where this
is possible.
But the generic ioremap() code does not check whether the
PMD/PUD entries are already populated with a non-leaf entry,
so that any page-table pages these entries point to will be
lost.
Further, on x86-32 with SHARED_KERNEL_PMD=0, this causes a
BUG_ON() in vmalloc_sync_one() when PMD entries are synced
from swapper_pg_dir to the current page-table. This happens
because the PMD entry from swapper_pg_dir was promoted to a
huge-page entry while the current PGD still contains the
non-leaf entry. Because both entries are present and point
to a different page, the BUG_ON() triggers.
This was actually triggered with pti-x32 enabled in a KVM
virtual machine by the graphics driver.
A real and better fix for that would be to improve the
page-table handling in the generic ioremap() code. But that is
out-of-scope for this patch-set and left for later work.

A PTE is constructed from a physical address and a pgprotval_t.
__PAGE_KERNEL, for instance, is a pgprot_t and must be converted
into a pgprotval_t before it can be used to create a PTE. This is
done implicitly within functions like pfn_pte() by massage_pgprot().
However, this makes it very challenging to set bits (and keep them
set) if your bit is being filtered out by massage_pgprot().
This moves the bit filtering out of pfn_pte() and friends. For
users of PAGE_KERNEL*, filtering will be done automatically inside
those macros but for users of __PAGE_KERNEL*, they need to do their
own filtering now.
Note that we also just move pfn_pte/pmd/pud() over to check_pgprot()
instead of massage_pgprot(). This way, we still *look* for
unsupported bits and properly warn about them if we find them. This
might happen if an unfiltered __PAGE_KERNEL* value was passed in,
for instance.

On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings. A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.
1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
then set the a new value for pmd;
4. pte0 is leaked;
5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
which will lead to kernel panic.
This panic is not reproducible on x86. INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86. x86
still has memory leak.
The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:
- The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
up.
- Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.
- The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
purge.
Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.
This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work
as workaround.

Kernel page table isolation requires to have two PGDs. One for the kernel,
which contains the full kernel mapping plus the user space mapping and one
for user space which contains the user space mappings and the minimal set
of kernel mappings which are required by the architecture to be able to
transition from and to user space.
Add the necessary preliminaries.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

There's a subtle bug in how some of the paravirt guest code handles
page table freeing on x86:
On x86 software page table walkers depend on the fact that remote TLB flush
does an IPI: walk is performed lockless but with interrupts disabled and in
case the page table is freed the freeing CPU will get blocked as remote TLB
flush is required. On other architectures which don't require an IPI to do
remote TLB flush we have an RCU-based mechanism (see
include/asm-generic/tlb.h for more details).
In virtualized environments we may want to override the ->flush_tlb_others
callback in pv_mmu_ops and use a hypercall asking the hypervisor to do a
remote TLB flush for us. This breaks the assumption about IPIs. Xen PV has
been doing this for years and the upcoming remote TLB flush for Hyper-V will
do it too.
This is not safe, as software page table walkers may step on an already
freed page.
Fix the bug by enabling the RCU-based page table freeing mechanism,
CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y.
Testing with kernbench and mmap/munmap microbenchmarks, and neither showed
any noticeable performance impact.

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include
support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added.
Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

Page tables can bite a relatively big chunk off system memory and their
allocations are easy to trigger from userspace, so they should be
accounted to kmemcg.
This patch marks page table allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT for x86. Note
we must not charge allocations of kernel page tables, because they can
be shared among processes from different cgroups so accounting them to a
particular one can pin other cgroups for indefinitely long. So we clear
__GFP_ACCOUNT flag if a page table is allocated for the kernel.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but none of the allocation which uses this
flag is for more than order-0. This means that this flag has never been
actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(),
which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by
MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or
the default type.
Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform'
flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the
range.
This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range
covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also
detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check
with the WB type since it does not effectively change the
uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries.
pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request
so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers
should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry
when the range is covered by MTRRs.

Implement huge KVA mapping interfaces on x86.
On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When
using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page,
which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an
undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs
have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping
code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range
is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on
the PAT memory types.
pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() call mtrr_type_lookup() to see if a
given range is covered by MTRRs. MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK indicates that the
range is either covered by WB or not covered and the MTRR default value is
set to WB. 0xFF indicates that MTRRs are disabled.
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is selected when X86_64 or X86_32 with X86_PAE is set.
X86_32 without X86_PAE is not supported since such config can unlikey be
benefited from this feature, and there was an issue found in testing.

With more embedded systems emerging using Quark, among other
things, 32-bit kernel matters again. 32-bit machine and kernel
uses PAE paging, which currently wastes at least 4K of memory
per process on Linux where we have to reserve an entire page to
support a single 32-byte PGD structure. It would be a very good
thing if we could eliminate that wastage.
PAE paging is used to access more than 4GB memory on x86-32. And
it is required for NX.
In this patch, we still allocate one page for pgd for a Xen
domain and 64-bit kernel because one page pgd is assumed in
these cases. But we can save memory space by only allocating
32-byte pgd for 32-bit PAE kernel when it is not running as a
Xen domain.

Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux
kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.
The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0.
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)
#define NR_PUD 130000
int main(void)
{
char *addr = NULL;
unsigned long i;
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
break;
}
*addr = 'x';
munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
}
printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
return pause();
}
The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
same way we account PTE.
The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:
- HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
the table to all processes who share it.
- x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.
- Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
check on exit(2).
Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The
counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
oom-killer.

The early_ioremap code requires that its buffers not span a PMD
boundary. The logic for ensuring that only works if the fixmap is
aligned, so assert that it's aligned correctly.
To make this work reliably, reserve_top_address needs to be
adjusted.

of flushing the TLB
We use the accessed bit to age a page at page reclaim time,
and currently we also flush the TLB when doing so.
But in some workloads TLB flush overhead is very heavy. In my
simple multithreaded app with a lot of swap to several pcie
SSDs, removing the tlb flush gives about 20% ~ 30% swapout
speedup.
Fortunately just removing the TLB flush is a valid optimization:
on x86 CPUs, clearing the accessed bit without a TLB flush
doesn't cause data corruption.
It could cause incorrect page aging and the (mistaken) reclaim of
hot pages, but the chance of that should be relatively low.
So as a performance optimization don't flush the TLB when
clearing the accessed bit, it will eventually be flushed by
a context switch or a VM operation anyway. [ In the rare
event of it not getting flushed for a long time the delay
shouldn't really matter because there's no real memory
pressure for swapout to react to. ]

There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed:
pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb().
I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call
there. It leads to leak of page->ptl for pmd page tables, if
dynamically allocated page->ptl is in use.
The patch adds the missed destructor and modifies documentation
accordingly.
