2018-02-16mm: hide a #warning for COMPILE_TESTArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
We get a warning about some slow configurations in randconfig kernels: mm/memory.c:83:2: error: #warning Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid. [-Werror=cpp] The warning is reasonable by itself, but gets in the way of randconfig build testing, so I'm hiding it whenever CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set. The warning was added in 2013 in commit 75980e97dacc ("mm: fold page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible").

2018-01-31mm: correct comments regarding do_fault_around()William Kucharski1-11/+11
There are multiple comments surrounding do_fault_around that memtion fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask(), two routines that do not exist. These comments should be reworded to reference fault_around_bytes, the value which is used to determine how much do_fault_around() will attempt to read when processing a fault. These comments should have been updated when fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask() were removed in commit aecd6f44266c ("mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()").

2018-01-31mm: add unmap_mapping_pages()Matthew Wilcox1-12/+31
Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do that. That's a sign of a bad interface. Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

2018-01-19mm, dax: introduce pfn_t_special()Dan Williams1-1/+15
In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs, introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without get_user_pages() support. Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.

2018-01-19mm/memory.c: release locked page in do_swap_page()Minchan Kim1-2/+8
James reported a bug in swap paging-in from his testing. It is that do_swap_page doesn't release locked page so system hang-up happens due to a deadlock on PG_locked. It was introduced by 0bcac06f27d7 ("mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device") because I missed swap cache hit places to update swapcache variable to work well with other logics against swapcache in do_swap_page.

2017-12-15Revert "mm: replace p??_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths"Linus Torvalds1-4/+4
This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90. We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question. Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM, not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was. Dave Hansen says: "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote() and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the new p??_access_permitted() calls. We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done" It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection key bits at this level at all. But one possible eventual solution is to make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case, which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to. We'll see. Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user pages, but it would be a good check to have back. Because we have no generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation").

2017-12-14mm/memory.c: mark wp_huge_pmd() inline to prevent build failureGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+2
With gcc 4.1.2: mm/memory.o: In function `wp_huge_pmd': memory.c:(.text+0x9b4): undefined reference to `do_huge_pmd_wp_page' Interestingly, wp_huge_pmd() is emitted in the assembler output, but never called. Apparently replacing the call to pmd_write() in __handle_mm_fault() by a call to the more complex pmd_access_permitted() reduced the ability of the compiler to remove unused code. Fix this by marking wp_huge_pmd() inline, like was done in commit 91a90140f998 ("mm/memory.c: mark create_huge_pmd() inline to prevent build failure") for a similar problem.

2017-11-27mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reasonKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected. The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the page. Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file. Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway (as we do for small pages). I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is write-protected. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2017-11-15mm: do not rely on preempt_count in print_vma_addrMichal Hocko1-5/+3
The preempt count check on print_vma_addr has been added by commit e8bff74afbdb ("x86: fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" in print_vma_addr()") and it relied on the elevated preempt count from preempt_conditional_sti because preempt_count check doesn't work on non preemptive kernels by default. The code has evolved though and commit d99e1bd175f4 ("x86/entry/traps: Refactor preemption and interrupt flag handling") has replaced preempt_conditional_sti by an explicit preempt_disable which is noop on !PREEMPT so the check in print_vma_addr is broken. Fix the issue by using trylock on mmap_sem rather than chacking the preempt count. The allocation we are relying on has to be GFP_NOWAIT as well. There is a chance that we won't dump the vma state if the lock is contended or the memory short but this is acceptable outcome and much less fragile than the not working preemption check or tricks around it.

On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35b66b ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm. This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device. It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

2017-10-25locking/atomics, mm: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()Paul E. McKenney1-3/+3
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory step, this patch converts the mm code and comments to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently. ---- virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first(). As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a 'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily available. While most users will make use of this feature, those with special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

2017-09-08mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memoryJérôme Glisse1-0/+61
HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

2017-09-08mm: thp: check pmd migration entry in common pathZi Yan1-2/+10
When THP migration is being used, memory management code needs to handle pmd migration entries properly. This patch uses !pmd_present() or is_swap_pmd() (depending on whether pmd_none() needs separate code or not) to check pmd migration entries at the places where a pmd entry is present. Since pmd-related code uses split_huge_page(), split_huge_pmd(), pmd_trans_huge(), pmd_trans_unstable(), or pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), this patch: 1. adds pmd migration entry split code in split_huge_pmd(), 2. takes care of pmd migration entries whenever pmd_trans_huge() is present, 3. makes pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() pmd migration entry aware. Since split_huge_page() uses split_huge_pmd() and pmd_trans_unstable() is equivalent to pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), we do not change them. Until this commit, a pmd entry should be: 1. pointing to a pte page, 2. is_swap_pmd(), 3. pmd_trans_huge(), 4. pmd_devmap(), or 5. pmd_none().

2017-09-06mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge pageHuang Ying1-4/+38
Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M. But on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread. If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page. To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page, the order to clear sub-pages is changed. In quite some situation, we can get the address that the application will access after we clear the huge page, for example, in a page fault handler. Instead of clearing the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to access last. This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and sub-pages around it more cache-hot too. If we cannot know the address the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be the the address the application will access. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699 system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case creates 72 processes, each process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin to the end. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~7.9% Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end to begin too. But tests show no visible performance difference in the tests. May because the size of page is small compared with the cache size. Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the order of sub-pages to clear. The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another patch.

2017-09-06mm, swap: VMA based swap readaheadHuang Ying1-5/+18
The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered valid. In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation. But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect. In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots. At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the space locality. The test and result is as follow, Common test condition ===================== Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device: NVMe disk Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern ============================================ vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300 seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out. At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in in the background. This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow, Base Optimized ---- --------- throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%) latency.average 97.14 us 61.06 us (-37.1%) latency.50th 2 us 1 us latency.60th 2 us 1 us latency.70th 98 us 2 us latency.80th 160 us 2 us latency.90th 260 us 217 us latency.95th 346 us 369 us latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98% The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base readahead algorithm works much better. Linpack ======= The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping. Base Optimized ---- --------- elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%) ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82% The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is still valid in some practical workloads.

2017-09-06mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_rangeMel Gorman1-1/+13
Nadav Amit report zap_page_range only specifies that the caller protect the VMA list but does not specify whether it is held for read or write with callers using either. madvise holds mmap_sem for read meaning that a parallel zap operation can unmap PTEs which are then potentially skipped by madvise which potentially returns with stale TLB entries present. While the API could be extended, it would be a difficult API to use. This patch causes zap_page_range() to always consider flushing the full affected range. For small ranges or sparsely populated mappings, this may result in one additional spurious TLB flush. For larger ranges, it is possible that the TLB has already been flushed and the overhead is negligible. Either way, this approach is safer overall and avoids stale entries being present when madvise returns. This can be illustrated with the following program provided by Nadav Amit and slightly modified. With the patch applied, it has an exit code of 0 indicating a stale TLB entry did not leak to userspace. ---8<--- volatile int sync_step = 0; volatile char *p; static inline unsigned long rdtsc() { unsigned long hi, lo; __asm__ __volatile__ ("rdtsc" : "=a"(lo), "=d"(hi)); return lo | (hi << 32); } static inline void wait_rdtsc(unsigned long cycles) { unsigned long tsc = rdtsc(); while (rdtsc() - tsc < cycles); } void *big_madvise_thread(void *ign) { sync_step = 1; while (sync_step != 2); madvise((void*)p, PAGE_SIZE * N_PAGES, MADV_DONTNEED); } int main(void) { pthread_t aux_thread; p = mmap(0, PAGE_SIZE * N_PAGES, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); memset((void*)p, 8, PAGE_SIZE * N_PAGES); pthread_create(&aux_thread, NULL, big_madvise_thread, NULL); while (sync_step != 1); *p = 8; // Cache in TLB sync_step = 2; wait_rdtsc(100000); madvise((void*)p, PAGE_SIZE, MADV_DONTNEED); printf("data: %d (%s)\n", *p, (*p == 8 ?

2017-09-06mm: add vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite()Ross Zwisler1-7/+43
When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree. This has three major drawbacks: 1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of zeroed memory. 2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. 3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more complex. This series solves these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a common 4k zero page instead. This reduces memory usage and decreases latencies for some workloads, and it simplifies the DAX code, removing over 100 lines in total. This patch (of 5): To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call. Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page(): case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page() returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper. We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults. This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path.

2017-08-18mm, oom: fix potential data corruption when oom_reaper races with writerMichal Hocko1-26/+20
Wenwei Tao has noticed that our current assumption that the oom victim is dying and never doing any visible changes after it dies, and so the oom_reaper can tear it down, is not entirely true. __task_will_free_mem consider a task dying when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set but do_group_exit sends SIGKILL to all threads _after_ the flag is set. So there is a race window when some threads won't have fatal_signal_pending while the oom_reaper could start unmapping the address space. Moreover some paths might not check for fatal signals before each PF/g-u-p/copy_from_user. We already have a protection for oom_reaper vs. PF races by checking MMF_UNSTABLE. This has been, however, checked only for kernel threads (use_mm users) which can outlive the oom victim. A simple fix would be to extend the current check in handle_mm_fault for all tasks but that wouldn't be sufficient because the current check assumes that a kernel thread would bail out after EFAULT from get_user*/copy_from_user and never re-read the same address which would succeed because the PF path has established page tables already. This seems to be the case for the only existing use_mm user currently (virtio driver) but it is rather fragile in general. This is even more fragile in general for more complex paths such as generic_perform_write which can re-read the same address more times (e.g. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic to fail and then iov_iter_fault_in_readable on retry). Therefore we have to implement MMF_UNSTABLE protection in a robust way and never make a potentially corrupted content visible. That requires to hook deeper into the PF path and check for the flag _every time_ before a pte for anonymous memory is established (that means all !VM_SHARED mappings). The corruption can be triggered artificially (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201708040646.v746kkhC024636@www262.sakura.ne.jp) but there doesn't seem to be any real life bug report. The race window should be quite tight to trigger most of the time.

2017-08-10mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problemMinchan Kim1-2/+16
Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2]. Quote from Mel Gorman: "The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs. CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to flush. Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it happening." This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3]. TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can catch there are parallel threads going on. In that case, forcefully, flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry although it fail to gather page table entry. I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range v2" in current mmotm. NOTE: This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64, s390, sh, um). It seems most of architecture are straightforward but s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if mm->context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends. However, this problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent memory access from stale tlb.

2017-08-02mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim ↵Mel Gorman1-0/+1
leaving stale TLB entries Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

2017-07-06mm: drop NULL return check of pte_offset_map_lock()Naoya Horiguchi1-2/+0
pte_offset_map_lock() finds and takes ptl, and returns pte. But some callers return without unlocking the ptl when pte == NULL, which seems weird. Git history said that !pte check in change_pte_range() was introduced in commit 1ad9f620c3a2 ("mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes") and still remains after commit 175ad4f1e7a2 ("mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock") which partially reverts 1ad9f620c3a2. So I think that it's just dead code. Many other caller of pte_offset_map_lock() never check NULL return, so let's do likewise.

2017-06-19mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmasHugh Dickins1-38/+0
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

2017-06-02mm: avoid spurious 'bad pmd' warning messagesRoss Zwisler1-10/+30
When the pmd_devmap() checks were added by 5c7fb56e5e3f ("mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd") to add better support for DAX huge pages, they were all added to the end of if() statements after existing pmd_trans_huge() checks. So, things like: - if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) + if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) || pmd_devmap(*pmd)) When further checks were added after pmd_trans_unstable() checks by commit 7267ec008b5c ("mm: postpone page table allocation until we have page to map") they were also added at the end of the conditional: + if (pmd_trans_unstable(fe->pmd) || pmd_devmap(*fe->pmd)) This ordering is fine for pmd_trans_huge(), but doesn't work for pmd_trans_unstable(). This is because DAX huge pages trip the bad_pmd() check inside of pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (called by pmd_trans_unstable()), which prints out a warning and returns 1. So, we do end up doing the right thing, but only after spamming dmesg with suspicious looking messages: mm/pgtable-generic.c:39: bad pmd ffff8808daa49b88(84000001006000a5) Reorder these checks in a helper so that pmd_devmap() is checked first, avoiding the error messages, and add a comment explaining why the ordering is important.
