bebeb3d68b mm: introduce mm_populate() for populating new vmas
When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas.  This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.

This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

572043c90d mm: mmap: annotate vm_lock_anon_vma locking properly for lockdep
Commit 5a505085f0 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an
rwsem") turned anon_vma mutex to rwsem.

However, the properly annotated nested locking in mm_take_all_locks()
has been converted from

	mutex_lock_nest_lock(&anon_vma->root->mutex, &mm->mmap_sem);

to

	down_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem);

which is incomplete, and causes the false positive report from lockdep
below.

Annotate the fact that mmap_sem is used as an outter lock to serialize
taking of all the anon_vma rwsems at once no matter the order, using the
down_write_nest_lock() primitive.

This patch fixes this lockdep report:

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

4128997b5f mm: protect against concurrent vma expansion
expand_stack() runs with a shared mmap_sem lock.  Because of this, there
could be multiple concurrent stack expansions in the same mm, which may
cause problems in the vma gap update code.

I propose to solve this by taking the mm->page_table_lock around such vma
expansions, in order to avoid the concurrency issue.  We only have to
worry about concurrent expand_stack() calls here, since we hold a shared
mmap_sem lock and all vma modificaitons other than expand_stack() are done
under an exclusive mmap_sem lock.

I previously tried to achieve the same effect by making sure all growable
vmas in a given mm would share the same anon_vma, which we already lock
here.  However this turned out to be difficult - all of the schemes I
tried for refcounting the growable anon_vma and clearing turned out ugly.
So, I'm now proposing only the minimal fix.

The overhead of taking the page table lock during stack expansion is
expected to be small: glibc doesn't use expandable stacks for the threads
it creates, so having multiple growable stacks is actually uncommon and we
don't expect the page table lock to get bounced between threads.

2897b4d29d mm: WARN_ON_ONCE if f_op->mmap() change vma's start address
During reviewing the source code, I found a comment which mention that
after f_op->mmap(), vma's start address can be changed.  I didn't verify
that it is really possible, because there are so many f_op->mmap()
implementation.  But if there are some mmap() which change vma's start
address, it is possible error situation, because we already prepare prev
vma, rb_link and rb_parent and these are related to original address.

So add WARN_ON_ONCE for finding that this situtation really happens.

db4fbfb952 mm: vm_unmapped_area() lookup function
Implement vm_unmapped_area() using the rb_subtree_gap and highest_vm_end
information to look up for suitable virtual address space gaps.

struct vm_unmapped_area_info is used to define the desired allocation
request:
 - lowest or highest possible address matching the remaining constraints
 - desired gap length
 - low/high address limits that the gap must fit into
 - alignment mask and offset

Also update the generic arch_get_unmapped_area[_topdown] functions to make
use of vm_unmapped_area() instead of implementing a brute force search.

d37371870c mm: augment vma rbtree with rb_subtree_gap
Define vma->rb_subtree_gap as the largest gap between any vma in the
subtree rooted at that vma, and their predecessor.  Or, for a recursive
definition, vma->rb_subtree_gap is the max of:

 - vma->vm_start - vma->vm_prev->vm_end
 - rb_subtree_gap fields of the vmas pointed by vma->rb.rb_left and
   vma->rb.rb_right

This will allow get_unmapped_area_* to find a free area of the right
size in O(log(N)) time, instead of potentially having to do a linear
walk across all the VMAs.

Also define mm->highest_vm_end as the vm_end field of the highest vma,
so that we can easily check if the following gap is suitable.

This does have the potential to make unmapping VMAs more expensive,
especially for processes with very large numbers of VMAs, where the VMA
rbtree can grow quite deep.

42d7395feb mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB
There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others.  This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.

This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.

It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag.  When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.

Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size.  When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.

The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there.  It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.

I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__).  Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined.  The interface should already
work for all other architectures though.  Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc).  However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines.  A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

4fc3f1d66b mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection

Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense

With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat
and there's no anon-vma related scheduling/blocking.

Rename anon_vma_[un]lock() => anon_vma_[un]lock_write(),
to make it clearer that it's an exclusive write-lock in
that case - suggested by Rik van Riel.

997071bcb3 mm: export a function to get vm committed memory
It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from
device drivers.  On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to
balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual
machines hosted on a given node.  This policy engine is driven by a number
of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests.  The
balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve
guest memory commitment.  This function is also used in Xen self
ballooning code.

38a76013ad mm: avoid taking rmap locks in move_ptes()
During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the
original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have
new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >=
vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one.

When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal
order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes().

Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in
"mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail".  The difference is that we
don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on
things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to
taking locks in the uncommon case.  Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in
addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in
increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

Also extend this code to validate_mm() after stack expansion, and to check

bf181b9f9d mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree.
When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
vmas on a linked list.  This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
one a given anon page might fall into.

By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
can make rmap efficient for this use case again.

While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.

Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
interval tree iterator instead.  The exception here is ksm, where the
page's index is not known.  It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.

When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree.  This is
done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
 The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

108d6642ad mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail
mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the
anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration.
 Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was
always visited by rmap before the destination.  This ordering and the use
of page table locks rmap usage safe.  However, we want to replace the use
of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it
harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted
by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value.  For now, let's replace the
anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in
move_ptes().  Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will
re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most
common cases.

6b2dbba8b6 mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.

Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

6597d78339 mm/mmap.c: replace find_vma_prepare() with clearer find_vma_links()
People get confused by find_vma_prepare(), because it doesn't care about
what it returns in its output args, when its callers won't be interested.

Clarify by passing in end-of-range address too, and returning failure if
any existing vma overlaps the new range: instead of returning an ambiguous
vma which most callers then must check.  find_vma_links() is a clearer
name.

This does revert 2.6.27's dfe195fb79 ("mm: fix uninitialized variables
for find_vma_prepare callers"), but it looks like gcc 4.3.0 was one of
those releases too eager to shout about uninitialized variables: only
copy_vma() warns with 4.5.1 and 4.7.1, which a BUG on error silences.

314e51b985 mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

e9714acf8c mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas
Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL.  Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.

VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag.  Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.

comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"),
where all this stuff was introduced:

> The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
> the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
> reported as the result.

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.

Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour.  We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().

mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE).  Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

4b6e1e3702 mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE
Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.

Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
expects page-faults.

This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
do_wp_page() can handle this.

vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
handler.

f9aed62a2b mm: change nr_ptes BUG_ON to WARN_ON
Occasionally an isolated BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes) gets reported, indicating
that not all the page tables allocated could be found and freed when
exit_mmap() tore down the user address space.

There's usually nothing we can say about it, beyond that it's probably a
sign of some bad memory or memory corruption; though it might still
indicate a bug in vma or page table management (and did recently reveal a
race in THP, fixed a few months ago).

But one overdue change we can make is from BUG_ON to WARN_ON.

It's fairly likely that the system will crash shortly afterwards in some
other way (for example, the BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in
__delete_from_page_cache(), once an inode mapped into the lost page tables
gets evicted); but might tell us more before that.

Change the BUG_ON(page_mapped) to WARN_ON too?  Later perhaps: I'm less
eager, since that one has several times led to fixes.

c7a3a88c93 uprobes: Fix mmap_region()'s mm->mm_rb corruption if uprobe_mmap() fails
This patch fixes:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640

If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.

Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().

For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.

dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.

And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

6dab3cc078 uprobes: Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap()
Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap(new_vma), it is absolutely wrong.

This new_vma was just initialized to represent the new unmapped
area, [vm_start, vm_end) was returned by get_unmapped_area() in
the caller.

This means that uprobe_mmap()->get_user_pages() will fail for
sure, simply because find_vma() can never succeed. And I
verified that sys_mremap()->mremap_to() indeed always fails with
the wrong ENOMEM code if [addr, addr+old_len] is probed.

And why this uprobe_mmap() was added? I believe the intent was
wrong. Note that the caller is going to do move_page_tables(),
all registered uprobes are already faulted in, we only change
the virtual addresses.

NOTE: However, somehow we need to close the race with
uprobe_register() which relies on map_info->vaddr. This needs
another fix I'll try to do later. Probably we need uprobe_mmap()
in move_vma() but we can not do this right now, this can confuse
uprobes_state.counter (which I still hope we are going to kill).

841e31e5cc mm/mmap.c: find_vma(): remove unnecessary if(mm) check
The "if (mm)" check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code
calls find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to
it is non-NULL.

Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now.  This
will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called.  Also
fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and
vma_tmp local variables.

I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the
validation check within find_vma.  Since no-one responded, I decided to
send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.

 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years

  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed

4f74d2c8e8 vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces
The VM accounting makes no sense at this level, and half of the callers
didn't ever actually use the end result.  The only time we want to
unaccount the memory is when we actually remove the vma, so do the
accounting at that point instead.

This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page
counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much
more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when
adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.

6be5ceb02e VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

cbc91f71b5 uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped
Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to
maintain the uprobes count.

In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma().
However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would
have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts
accounted (in zap_pte_range()).

If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if
the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe
count.

This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap()
and hence it does not find the breakpoint.

This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to
unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the
complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap().

This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e
("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

682968e0c4 uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter
Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.

This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.

The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away.  So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:

 a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
 b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
    happens at the required address.

On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.

Special cases that are taken care include:

 a. mremap
 b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
 c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

83cd904d27 mm: fix find_vma_prev
Commit 6bd4837de9 ("mm: simplify find_vma_prev()") broke memory
management on PA-RISC.

After application of the patch, programs that allocate big arrays on the
stack crash with segfault, for example, this will crash if compiled
without optimization:

  int main()
  {
	char array[200000];
	array[199999] = 0;
	return 0;
  }

The reason is that PA-RISC has up-growing stack and the stack is usually
the last memory area.  In the above example, a page fault happens above
the stack.

Previously, if we passed too high address to find_vma_prev, it returned
NULL and stored the last VMA in *pprev.  After "simplify find_vma_prev"
change, it stores NULL in *pprev.  Consequently, the stack area is not
found and it is not expanded, as it used to be before the change.

This patch restores the old behavior and makes it return the last VMA in
*pprev if the requested address is higher than address of any other VMA.

2b14449835 uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints
Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.

This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits.

General design:

Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset
(the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique
(inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the
rb-tree.

Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more
than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides
the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe.

Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The
'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the
'filter' criteria.

The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be
inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are
appended to this list.  On subsequent probes, the consumer gets
appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is
removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other
unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of
consumers.

Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the
inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a
probe needs to be inserted/removed.

We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the
inode.

- The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we
  walk the rmap and keeps changing.
- extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a
  size-critical data structure.
- There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm.

We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas
that are of interest to uprobes.  When a vma of interest is mapped,
we insert the breakpoint at the right address.

Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined
by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint
instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the
uprobed address.

This is needed for:

 a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol).
 b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups.
 c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered.

We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this
breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction
available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms
this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms
the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a
single byte).

Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing
the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms
allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also
mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE
file map.

The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic.

In essence, similar to KSM:

 a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that
    has the uprobed vaddr
 b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required
    address
 c. switch the original page with the copy containing the
    breakpoint
 d. flush page tables.

replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor
changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had
plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work.

Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and
determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the
necessary fixups after singlestep.  Instruction analysis is done
at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the
same analysis every time a probe is hit.

A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs
from Peter Zijlstra.

Changelog:

(v10):
 - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko
   and Masami Hiramatsu.

(v9):
 - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

(v7):

 Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra:

 - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane).
 - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value.
 - No need to take reference to inode.
 - use PTR_ERR to return error value.
 - register and uprobe_unregister share code.

(v5):

 - Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter.
 - Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe.
 - Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size.
 - Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called.
 - Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue
   on sparc defconfig
 - Remove restrictions while unregistering.
 - Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while
   registering/unregistering.
 - Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt
   meet the requirements.
 - Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the
   breakpoint
 - Call del_consumer under mutex_lock.
 - Use hash locks.
 - Handle mremap.
 - Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in
   find_uprobe
 - Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs
   while inserting/removing a probe.
 - Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages
   have valid content.
 - pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter.

commit 297c5eee37 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly linked") added the
vm_prev member to vm_area_struct.  We can simplify find_vma_prev() by
using it.  Also, this change helps to improve page fault performance
because it has stronger locality of reference.

948f017b09 mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma()
migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on
pagetables.  That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap
PT locks.  But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the
same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk.

If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the
dst vma in the same_anon_vma list.  That could still lead to migrate
missing some pte.

This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at
the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.

If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs
sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking
the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole
duration of mremap.

Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where
move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second
anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path.

This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail:

===

	long diffsec;
	char *p, *p2, *p3, *p4;

		perror("memalign"), exit(1);
	if (posix_memalign((void **)&p2, 2*1024*1024, SIZE))
		perror("memalign"), exit(1);
	if (posix_memalign((void **)&p3, 2*1024*1024, SIZE))
		perror("memalign"), exit(1);

	memset(p, 0xff, SIZE);
	printf("%p\n", p);
	memset(p2, 0xff, SIZE);
	memset(p3, 0x77, 4096);
	if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE))
		printf("error\n");
	p4 = mremap(p+SIZE/2, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p3);
	if (p4 != p3)
		perror("mremap"), exit(1);

9be34c9d52 mm: get rid of the most spurious find_vma_prev() users
We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma
list was doubly linked, and just are silly.  These days, you can find
the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer.

In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other
cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma
cache front-end lookup.

Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though.  For example, in
the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find
any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the
last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma.

But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use
'find_vma()'.

Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just
happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we
using that function here?".

97a894136f mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak
Hugh says:
 "The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
  concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
  the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "

Counter points:
 - cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
 - zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
   ever can

I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.

Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.

d16dfc550f mm: mmu_gather rework
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.

The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.

The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure.  For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.

The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this.  I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.

Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.

After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible.  It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.

Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.

This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.

Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.

This patch:

Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.

The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches.  Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.

Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex.  Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.

Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

d05f3169c0 mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()
Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry.  It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.

Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent.  Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion).  expand_downwards has to be defined for both
CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards
version in the early process initialization phase for growsup
configuration.

6038def0d1 mm: nommu: sort mm->mmap list properly
When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree
in an unusual way.  IIUC, because there can be more than one
identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more
strictly and does a linear search on the tree.  But it doesn't applied to
the list (i.e.  the list could be constructed in a different order than
the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that
order).

Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same
time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order.  And linear
searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it
can be converted to use the list.

Also, after the commit 297c5eee37 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly
linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need
to be fixed to construct the list properly.

Patch 1/6 is a preparation.  It maintains the list sorted same as the tree
and construct doubly-linked list properly.  Patch 2/6 is a simple
optimization for the vma deletion.  Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree
traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups.

This patch:

@vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA
struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm.
However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list.

This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal
like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list().
After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by
using @mm->mmap list.

965f55dea0 mmap: avoid merging cloned VMAs
Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process.

The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA.  If
we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current
process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock.  This introduces
scalability issues.  find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this
case.

5f70b962cc mmap: avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock
If we only change vma->vm_end, we can avoid taking anon_vma lock even if
'insert' isn't NULL, which is the case of split_vma.

As I understand it, we need the lock before because rmap must get the
'insert' VMA when we adjust old VMA's vm_end (the 'insert' VMA is linked
to anon_vma list in __insert_vm_struct before).

But now this isn't true any more.  The 'insert' VMA is already linked to
anon_vma list in __split_vma(with anon_vma_clone()) instead of
__insert_vm_struct.  There is no race rmap can't get required VMAs.  So
the anon_vma lock is unnecessary, and this can reduce one locking in brk
case and improve scalability.

4471a675df brk: COMPAT_BRK: fix detection of randomized brk
5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.

It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:

: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e)                         = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e)                         = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.

I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

5520e89485 brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK
Even if CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is set in the kernel configuration, it can still
be overriden by randomize_va_space sysctl.

If this is the case, the min_brk computation in sys_brk() implementation
is wrong, as it solely takes into account COMPAT_BRK setting, assuming
that brk start is not randomized.  But that might not be the case if
randomize_va_space sysctl has been set to '2' at the time the binary has
been loaded from disk.

In such case, the check has to be done in a same way as in
!CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK case.

In addition to that, the check for the COMPAT_BRK case introduced back in
a5b4592c ("brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower
bound") is slightly wrong -- the lower bound shouldn't be mm->end_code,
but mm->end_data instead, as that's where the legacy applications expect
brk section to start (i.e.  immediately after last global variable).

94fcc585fb thp: avoid breaking huge pmd invariants in case of vma_adjust failures
An huge pmd can only be mapped if the corresponding 2M virtual range is
fully contained in the vma.  At times the VM calls split_vma twice, if the
first split_vma succeeds and the second fail, the first split_vma remains
in effect and it's not rolled back.  For split_vma or vma_adjust to fail
an allocation failure is needed so it's a very unlikely event (the out of
memory killer would normally fire before any allocation failure is visible
to kernel and userland and if an out of memory condition happens it's
unlikely to happen exactly here).  Nevertheless it's safer to ensure that
no huge pmd can be left around if the vma is adjusted in a way that can't
fit hugepages anymore at the new vm_start/vm_end address.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the

the available pages for special mappings.

bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have

012f18004d mm: always lock the root (oldest) anon_vma
Always (and only) lock the root (oldest) anon_vma whenever we do something
in an anon_vma.  The recently introduced anon_vma scalability is due to
the rmap code scanning only the VMAs that need to be scanned.  Many common
operations still took the anon_vma lock on the root anon_vma, so always
taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues.

However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one
lock, which means rmap_walk on pages from any anon_vma in the vma is
excluded from occurring during an munmap, expand_stack or other operation
that needs to exclude rmap_walk and similar functions.

Also add the proper locking to vma_adjust.

d0e9fe1758 Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for anon_vma_prepare()
This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse
simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma
associated with it.

This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always
guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same
anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single
entry in this case).

And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma
might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the
case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have
the same chain.  That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's
that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other
anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always
identical.

This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and
adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

fc148a5f7e mm: remove VM_LOCK_RMAP code
When a VMA is in an inconsistent state during setup or teardown, the worst
that can happen is that the rmap code will not be able to find the page.

The mapping is in the process of being torn down (PTEs just got
invalidated by munmap), or set up (no PTEs have been instantiated yet).

It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already
freed VMA, because the rmap code holds the anon_vma->lock, which the VMA
teardown code needs to take before the VMA is removed from the anon_vma
chain.

Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

5beb493052 mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads.  Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.

In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes.  However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.

This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock.  This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands.  Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.

This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA.  At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated.  The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.

This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
 This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.

The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations.  This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures.  This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.

A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock.  To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag.  This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.

Some test results:

Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.

With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time.  The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

66f0dc481e mm: move sys_mmap_pgoff from util.c
Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c,
where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains
the MAP_HUGETLB handling.  Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32.

This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32,
whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS.  Perhaps validate_mmap_request()
should reject it with -EINVAL?  Add that later if necessary.

Modify the generic mmap() code to keep the cache attribute in
vma->vm_page_prot regardless if writenotify is enabled or not.  Without
this patch the cache configuration selected by f_op->mmap() is overwritten
if writenotify is enabled, making it impossible to keep the vma uncached.

deferred io together with uncached memory.

659ace584e mmap: don't return ENOMEM when mapcount is temporarily exceeded in munmap()
On ia64, the following test program exit abnormally, because glibc thread

 ========================================================

The fact is, glibc call munmap() when thread exitng time for freeing
stack, and it assume munlock() never fail.  However, munmap() often make
vma splitting and it with many mapcount make -ENOMEM.

Oh well, that's crazy, because stack unmapping never increase mapcount.
The maxcount exceeding is only temporary.  internal temporary exceeding
shouldn't make ENOMEM.

This patch does it.

252c5f94d9 mmap: avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock acquisition in vma_adjust()
We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared
workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an
8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform.  On the SLES11 kernel
[2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of
thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one
at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm.  The simple patch below
causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau.

But wait, there's more:

We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core.
This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger
platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger
number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how
the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and
memories--a stochastic NUMA effect.

The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform]
with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels.  With 31-rc6 on
Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage
volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched
kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K
jpm] than the unpatched kernel.

Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er]
contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the
sbrk() system call.

The patch:

A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the
anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case
for brk().  The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for
this case.  Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with
interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering
that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple.

We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL
"importer".  The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so
simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock.

However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma
['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we
need to check for 'insert', as well.  And Hugh points out that we should
also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon
vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock).

akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it
might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this
issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is
severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)"

8314c4f24a ksm: remove VM_MERGEABLE_FLAGS
KSM originally stood for Kernel Shared Memory: but the kernel has long
supported shared memory, and VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE vmas, and KSM is
something else.  So we switched to saying "merge" instead of "share".

But Chris Wright points out that this is confusing where mmap.c merges
adjacent vmas: most especially in the name VM_MERGEABLE_FLAGS, used by
is_mergeable_vma() to let vmas be merged despite flags being different.

Call it VMA_MERGE_DESPITE_FLAGS?  Perhaps, but at present it consists
only of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR: so for now it's clearer on all sides to use
that directly, with a comment on it in is_mergeable_vma().

1c2fb7a4c2 ksm: fix deadlock with munlock in exit_mmap
Rawhide users have reported hang at startup when cryptsetup is run: the
same problem can be simply reproduced by running a program int main() {
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE); return 0; }

The problem is that exit_mmap() applies munlock_vma_pages_all() to
clean up VM_LOCKED areas, and its current implementation (stupidly)
tries to fault in absent pages, for example where PROT_NONE prevented
them being faulted in when mlocking.  Whereas the "ksm: fix oom
deadlock" patch, knowing there's a race by which KSM might try to fault
in pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of
such faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0.

So revert that part of "ksm: fix oom deadlock" which moved the
ksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap();
and remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so
allowing the munlocking to proceed without interference.

ksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes
mmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while
exit_mmap runs.  And KSM will bail out as soon as it notices that
mm_users is already zero, thanks to its internal ksm_test_exit checks.
So that when a task is killed by OOM killer or the user, KSM will not
indefinitely prevent it from running exit_mmap to release its memory.

This does break a part of what "ksm: fix oom deadlock" was trying to
achieve.  When unmerging KSM (echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even
when ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the
first OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its
memory won't be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing
memory for the unmerging fault to complete).

But the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the
intended victim's p->mm goes to NULL: so there's not much point in
rejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour.  It is very
much more important to allow KSM users to boot up, than to haggle over
an unlikely and poorly supported OOM case.

We also intend to fix munlocking to not fault pages: at which point
this patch _could_ be reverted; though that would be controversial, so
we hope to find a better solution.

9ba6929480 ksm: fix oom deadlock
There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling:
imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex,
trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the
OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes
to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex.

Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple
though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow?
And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages:
__ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd.

But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to
guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap
tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem.  And bumping mm_users won't
help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes
are on their way to being freed will not be freed.

The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just
before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages
have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page
tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write
mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem.

But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to
check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using
find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page
tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page
and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm
to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table.

Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding
mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating
a zapped pte.  All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but
must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached.
So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users.

__ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd,
that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the
ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with.  __ksm_enter raise
mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like
its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it,
similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd).

But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication
(no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor),
it can safely do all the exiting work itself.  This is not just an
optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would
otherwise leak mm_structs.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

788084aba2 Security/SELinux: seperate lsm specific mmap_min_addr
Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable.  This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.

The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.

This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.

e0a94c2a63 security: use mmap_min_addr indepedently of security models
This patch removes the dependency of mmap_min_addr on CONFIG_SECURITY.
It also sets a default mmap_min_addr of 4096.

mmapping of addresses below 4096 will only be possible for processes
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation.  In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).

The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff.  using it is right
way.  it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

05fa199d45 mm: pass correct mm when growing stack
Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in
security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the
target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment.

Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns
an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec.  And in any case, that
vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the
target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning,
it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).

0a4a93919b perf_counter: executable mmap() information
Currently the profiling information returns userspace IPs but no way
to correlate them to userspace code. Userspace could look into
/proc/$pid/maps but that might not be current or even present anymore
at the time of analyzing the IPs.

Therefore provide means to track the mmap information and provide it
in the output stream.

XXX: only covers mmap()/munmap(), mremap() and mprotect() are missing.

33e5d76979 nommu: fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patch
Fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patch:

 (1) Make mmap_pages_allocated an atomic_long_t, just in case this is used on
     a NOMMU system with more than 2G pages.  Makes no difference on a 32-bit
     system.

 (2) Report vma->vm_pgoff * PAGE_SIZE as a 64-bit value, not a 32-bit value,
     lest it overflow.

 (3) Move the allocation of the vm_area_struct slab back for fork.c.

 (4) Use KMEM_CACHE() for both vm_area_struct and vm_region slabs.

 (5) Use BUG_ON() rather than if () BUG().

 (6) Make the default validate_nommu_regions() a static inline rather than a
     #define.

 (7) Make free_page_series()'s objection to pages with a refcount != 1 more
     informative.

 (8) Adjust the __put_nommu_region() banner comment to indicate that the
     semaphore must be held for writing.

 (9) Limit the number of warnings about munmaps of non-mmapped regions.

9480c53e9b mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages.  (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

5a6fe12595 Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.

With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.
