dd0db88d80 userfaultfd: non-cooperative: rollback userfaultfd_exit 
Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge
window".

Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing
more testing.  I've been doing testing before and this was also tested
by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never
reproduced before.

I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result.  I dropped it because of
implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I
think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough
already.

Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit
wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after
moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more
sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the
event_wait_completion in D state.  So then I added the second patch to
be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late
during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state.  The
same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it
makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's
run under WARN_ON_ONCE.

While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I
looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to
stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on
userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute
userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against
userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before
list_add(fcs).  This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area
also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new.

The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after
free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if
CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y.  Very hard to reproduce though and probably
impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled.

This patch (of 3):

I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not
easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce.

In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking
mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully
consistent and it is null terminated list as expected.  So this has to
be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the
vma list was being modified by another CPU.

When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to
SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..).

The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still
other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it
has to wait the even to be received by the manager).  So this is an use
after free that was happening for all processes.

One more implementation problem aside from the race condition:
userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking
the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks.

One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be
delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager
doesn't read the event.

The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can
check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer:

	if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) {
[..]
	} else {
		return -ENOSPC;
	}

It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances 
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

a9b85f9415 userfaultfd: change the read API to return a uffd_msg 
I had requests to return the full address (not the page aligned one) to
userland.

It's not entirely clear how the page offset could be relevant because
userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset.  There's
currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
the fault to be repeated).  Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
kernel code.  The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
that).

Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
extensions too and it looks cleaner as well.  Once we get additional
fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.

The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.

The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
uffdio_api structure.  If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
required.

25edd8bffd userfaultfd: linux/Documentation/vm/userfaultfd.txt 
This is the latest userfaultfd patchset.  The postcopy live migration
feature on the qemu side is mostly ready to be merged and it entirely
depends on the userfaultfd syscall to be merged as well.  So it'd be great
if this patchset could be reviewed for merging in -mm.

Userfaults allow to implement on demand paging from userland and more
generally they allow userland to more efficiently take control of the
behavior of page faults than what was available before (PROT_NONE +
SIGSEGV trap).

The use cases are:

1) KVM postcopy live migration (one form of cloud memory
   externalization).

   KVM postcopy live migration is the primary driver of this work:

    http://blog.zhaw.ch/icclab/setting-up-post-copy-live-migration-in-openstack/
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-02/msg04873.html

2) postcopy live migration of binaries inside linux containers:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/132662

3) KVM postcopy live snapshotting (allowing to limit/throttle the
   memory usage, unlike fork would, plus the avoidance of fork
   overhead in the first place).

   While the wrprotect tracking is not implemented yet, the syscall API is
   already contemplating the wrprotect fault tracking and it's generic enough
   to allow its later implementation in a backwards compatible fashion.

4) KVM userfaults on shared memory. The UFFDIO_COPY lowlevel method
   should be extended to work also on tmpfs and then the
   uffdio_register.ioctls will notify userland that UFFDIO_COPY is
   available even when the registered virtual memory range is tmpfs
   backed.

5) alternate mechanism to notify web browsers or apps on embedded
   devices that volatile pages have been reclaimed. This basically
   avoids the need to run a syscall before the app can access with the
   CPU the virtual regions marked volatile. This depends on point 4)
   to be fulfilled first, as volatile pages happily apply to tmpfs.

Even though there wasn't a real use case requesting it yet, it also
allows to implement distributed shared memory in a way that readonly
shared mappings can exist simultaneously in different hosts and they
can be become exclusive at the first wrprotect fault.

This patch (of 22):

Add documentation.
