8b272b3cbb mm, numa: fix bad pmd by atomically check for pmd_trans_huge when marking page tables prot_numa 
: A user reported a bug against a distribution kernel while running a
: proprietary workload described as "memory intensive that is not swapping"
: that is expected to apply to mainline kernels.  The workload is
: read/write/modifying ranges of memory and checking the contents.  They
: reported that within a few hours that a bad PMD would be reported followed
: by a memory corruption where expected data was all zeros.  A partial
: report of the bad PMD looked like

:
: Decoding revealed that the PMD was a valid prot_numa PMD and the bad PMD
: was a false detection.  The bug does not trigger if automatic NUMA
: balancing or transparent huge pages is disabled.
:
: The bug is due a race in change_pmd_range between a pmd_trans_huge and
: pmd_nond_or_clear_bad check without any locks held.  During the
: pmd_trans_huge check, a parallel protection update under lock can have
: cleared the PMD and filled it with a prot_numa entry between the transhuge
: check and the pmd_none_or_clear_bad check.
:
: While this could be fixed with heavy locking, it's only necessary to make
: a copy of the PMD on the stack during change_pmd_range and avoid races.  A
: new helper is created for this as the check if quite subtle and the
: existing similar helpful is not suitable.  This passed 154 hours of
: testing (usually triggers between 20 minutes and 24 hours) without
: detecting bad PMDs or corruption.  A basic test of an autonuma-intensive
: workload showed no significant change in behaviour.

Although Mel withdrew the patch on the face of LKML comment
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/922 the race window aforementioned is
still open, and we have reports of Linpack test reporting bad residuals
after the bad PMD warning is observed.  In addition to that, bad
rss-counter and non-zero pgtables assertions are triggered on mm teardown
for the task hitting the bad PMD.

 host kernel: mm/pgtable-generic.c:40: bad pmd 00000000b3152f68(8000000d2d2008e7)
 ....
 host kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:00000000b583043d idx:1 val:512
 host kernel: BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 4096

The issue is observed on a v4.18-based distribution kernel, but the race
window is expected to be applicable to mainline kernels, as well.

a818f5363a autonuma: reduce cache footprint when scanning page tables 
In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is
true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state
already.  So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary
too.

So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid
unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of
NUMA balancing page table scanning.

In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20
read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket
Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows
that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97%
(that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

057d338910 mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls 
This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.

This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory
syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect,
mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages.

The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses.
Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the
corresponding vma.

94393c7896 mm/mprotect.c: fix compilation warning because of unused 'mm' variable 
Since 0cbe3e26ab ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take
vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable
in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at().

Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm'
parameter, which generates the following compilation warning:

 CC      mm/mprotect.o
mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range':
mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable]
  struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
                    ^~

Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm'
variable in change_pte_range().

6f4f13e8d9 mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidation 
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).

Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them.  While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.

This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma).  Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.

The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens.  A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.

This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:

42e4089c78 x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings 
For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

09a913a7a9 sched/numa: avoid trapping faults and attempting migration of file-backed dirty pages 
change_pte_range is called from task work context to mark PTEs for
receiving NUMA faulting hints.  If the marked pages are dirty then
migration may fail.  Some filesystems cannot migrate dirty pages without
blocking so are skipped in MIGRATE_ASYNC mode which just wastes CPU.
Even when they can, it can be a waste of cycles when the pages are
shared forcing higher scan rates.  This patch avoids marking shared
dirty pages for hinting faults but also will skip a migration if the
page was dirtied after the scanner updated a clean page.

This is most noticeable running the NASA Parallel Benchmark when backed
by btrfs, the default root filesystem for some distributions, but also
noticeable when using XFS.

The following are results from a 4-socket machine running a 4.16-rc4
kernel with some scheduler patches that are pending for the next merge
window.

                        4.16.0-rc4             4.16.0-rc4

is.D regresses slightly in terms of absolute time but note that that
particular load varies quite a bit from run to run.  The more relevant
observation is the total system CPU usage.

            4.16.0-rc4  4.16.0-rc4
          schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1
  User        71471.91    70627.04
  System      11078.96     8256.13
  Elapsed       661.66      632.74

That is a substantial drop in system CPU usage and overall the workload
completes faster.  The NUMA balancing statistics are also interesting

  NUMA base PTE updates        111407972   139848884
  NUMA huge PMD updates           206506      264869
  NUMA page range updates      217139044   275461812
  NUMA hint faults               4300924     3719784
  NUMA hint local faults         3012539     3416618
  NUMA hint local percent             70          91
  NUMA pages migrated            1517487     1358420

While more PTEs are scanned due to changes in what faults are gathered,
it's clear that a far higher percentage of faults are local as the bulk
of the remote hits were dirty pages that, in this case with btrfs, had
no chance of migrating.

The following is a comparison when using XFS as that is a more realistic
filesystem choice for a data partition

                        4.16.0-rc4             4.16.0-rc4
                 schedtip-20180309          nodirty-v1r47
  Time cg.D      485.28 (   0.00%)      442.62 (   8.79%)
  Time ep.D       77.68 (   0.00%)       77.54 (   0.18%)
  Time is.D       26.44 (   0.00%)       24.79 (   6.24%)
  Time lu.D      597.46 (   0.00%)      597.11 (   0.06%)
  Time mg.D      142.65 (   0.00%)      105.83 (  25.81%)

That is a reasonable gain on two relatively long-lived workloads.  While
not presented, there is also a substantial drop in system CPu usage and
the NUMA balancing stats show similar improvements in locality as btrfs
did.

2c2d57b5e7 mm: Clear arch specific VM flags on protection change 
When protection bits are changed on a VMA, some of the architecture
specific flags should be cleared as well. An examples of this are the
PKEY flags on x86. This patch expands the current code that clears
PKEY flags for x86, to support similar functionality for other

9035cf9a97 mm: Add address parameter to arch_validate_prot() 
A protection flag may not be valid across entire address space and
hence arch_validate_prot() might need the address a protection bit is
being set on to ensure it is a valid protection flag. For example, sparc
processors support memory corruption detection (as part of ADI feature)
flag on memory addresses mapped on to physical RAM but not on PFN mapped
pages or addresses mapped on to devices. This patch adds address to the
parameters being passed to arch_validate_prot() so protection bits can
be validated in the relevant context.

This patch changes change_pte_range() to skip shared copy-on-write pages
when called from change_prot_numa().

NOTE: change_prot_numa() is nominally called from task_numa_work() and
queue_pages_test_walk().  task_numa_work() is the auto NUMA balancing
path, and queue_pages_test_walk() is part of explicit NUMA policy
management.  However, queue_pages_test_walk() only calls
change_prot_numa() when MPOL_MF_LAZY is specified and currently that is
not allowed, so change_prot_numa() is only called from auto NUMA
balancing.

In the case of explicit NUMA policy management, shared pages are not
migrated unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified, and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL
depends on CAP_SYS_NICE.  Currently, there is no way to pass information
about MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to change_pte_range.  This will have to be fixed
if MPOL_MF_LAZY is enabled and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is to be honored in lazy
migration mode.

task_numa_work() skips the read-only VMAs of programs and shared
libraries.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

5042db43cc mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory 
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.

84c3fc4e9c mm: thp: check pmd migration entry in common path 
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()

16af97dc5a mm: migrate: prevent racy access to tlb_flush_pending 
Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6.

It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various
races.  Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were
recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others.  The more
fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow
for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes
the page-tables.  This other core may assume a PTE change does not
require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that
TLB flushes are still pending.

This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and
MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior).  A
proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED.
Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was
observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and
replacing the KSM page.

Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect
architectures with weak memory model.

This patch (of 7):

Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple
threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in
task_numa_work().  If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared
while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes.

This can lead to the same race between migration and
change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of
tlb_flush_pending.  The result of this race was data corruption, which
means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data
corruption.

An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was
confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by
two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and
using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

3ea277194d mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim 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.

8bc3c3fe4f mm: drop NULL return check of pte_offset_map_lock() 
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 1ad9f620c3 ("mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock
during protection changes") and still remains after commit 175ad4f1e7
("mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock")
which partially reverts 1ad9f620c3.  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.

288bc54949 mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte. 
Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2.

This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma
preserve write feature.  migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal
with concurrent modification of the page.  It does a page copy without
following the migration pte sequence.  IIUC, this was done to keep the
migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP
page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme.
That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write
to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page
content.  This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that.  We are
good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we
never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte.

This patch (of 2):

Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid
taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106 " mm: numa:
preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault").
Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may
choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte.
Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour.  Fix
this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a
protnone pte.

175ad4f1e7 mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock 
pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require
the pmd_lock for the same check.

This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for
writing if prot_numa is not set.  userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem
only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set
prot_numa.

This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.

c7142aead8 mm/pkeys: generate pkey system call code only if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected 
Having code for the pkey_mprotect, pkey_alloc and pkey_free system calls
makes only sense if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected.  If not selected these
system calls will always return -ENOSPC or -EINVAL.

To simplify things and have less code generate the pkey system call code
only if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected.

For architectures which have already wired up the system calls, but do
not select ARCH_HAS_PKEYS this will result in less generated code and a
different return code: the three system calls will now always return
-ENOSYS, using the cond_syscall mechanism.

For architectures which have not wired up the system calls less
unreachable code will be generated.

While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we
encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing
hugepage.  This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(),
which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part
of an unlikely() branch.

Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be
good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.

3e32158767 mm/mprotect.c: don't touch single threaded PTEs which are on the right node 
We had some problems with pages getting unmapped in single threaded
affinitized processes.  It was tracked down to NUMA scanning.

In this case it doesn't make any sense to unmap pages if the process is
single threaded and the page is already on the node the process is
running on.

Add a check for this case into the numa protection code, and skip
unmapping if true.

In theory the process could be migrated later, but we will eventually
rescan and unmap and migrate then.

In theory this could be made more fancy: remembering this state per
process or even whole mm.  However that would need extra tracking and be
more complicated, and the simple check seems to work fine so far.

e86f15ee64 mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walk 
The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the
pte/pmd manipulations).  So it's not safe to wait the caller to update
the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing
the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the
next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma
vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks.

The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the
current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks.

The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate
as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that
got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma.

  migrate   	      	        mprotect
  ------------			-------------
  migrating in "next" vma
				vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and
			        	    # extends "current" vma
					    # current vma is not with
					    # vm_page_prot updated
  remove_migration_ptes
  read vm_page_prot of current "vma"
  establish pte with wrong permissions
				vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late!
				change_protection in the old vma range
				only, next range is not updated

This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in
heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction
in the background.

Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge
which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger,
in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen.

This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN

to:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX

XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by
vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully.  It has the added benefits
that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge
succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are
bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range,
as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by
rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for
reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before
releasing the rmap_locks).

e8c24d3a23 x86/pkeys: Allocation/free syscalls 
This patch adds two new system calls:

	int pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long init_access_rights)
	int pkey_free(int pkey);

These implement an "allocator" for the protection keys
themselves, which can be thought of as analogous to the allocator
that the kernel has for file descriptors.  The kernel tracks
which numbers are in use, and only allows operations on keys that
are valid.  A key which was not obtained by pkey_alloc() may not,
for instance, be passed to pkey_mprotect().

These system calls are also very important given the kernel's use
of pkeys to implement execute-only support.  These help ensure
that userspace can never assume that it has control of a key
unless it first asks the kernel.  The kernel does not promise to
preserve PKRU (right register) contents except for allocated
pkeys.

The 'init_access_rights' argument to pkey_alloc() specifies the
rights that will be established for the returned pkey.  For
instance:

	pkey = pkey_alloc(flags, PKEY_DENY_WRITE);

will allocate 'pkey', but also sets the bits in PKRU[1] such that
writing to 'pkey' is already denied.

The kernel does not prevent pkey_free() from successfully freeing
in-use pkeys (those still assigned to a memory range by
pkey_mprotect()).  It would be expensive to implement the checks
for this, so we instead say, "Just don't do it" since sane
software will never do it anyway.

Any piece of userspace calling pkey_alloc() needs to be prepared
for it to fail.  Why?  pkey_alloc() returns the same error code
(ENOSPC) when there are no pkeys and when pkeys are unsupported.
They can be unsupported for a whole host of reasons, so apps must
be prepared for this.  Also, libraries or LD_PRELOADs might steal
keys before an application gets access to them.

This allocation mechanism could be implemented in userspace.
Even if we did it in userspace, we would still need additional
user/kernel interfaces to tell userspace which keys are being
used by the kernel internally (such as for execute-only
mappings).  Having the kernel provide this facility completely
removes the need for these additional interfaces, or having an
implementation of this in userspace at all.

Note that we have to make changes to all of the architectures
that do not use mman-common.h because we use the new
PKEY_DENY_ACCESS/WRITE macros in arch-independent code.

1. PKRU is the Protection Key Rights User register.  It is a
   usermode-accessible register that controls whether writes
   and/or access to each individual pkey is allowed or denied.

a8502b67d7 x86/pkeys: Make mprotect_key() mask off additional vm_flags 
Today, mprotect() takes 4 bits of data: PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC/NONE.
Three of those bits: READ/WRITE/EXEC get translated directly in to
vma->vm_flags by calc_vm_prot_bits().  If a bit is unset in
mprotect()'s 'prot' argument then it must be cleared in vma->vm_flags
during the mprotect() call.

We do this clearing today by first calculating the VMA flags we
want set, then clearing the ones we do not want to inherit from
the original VMA:

	vm_flags = calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key);
	...
	newflags = vm_flags;
	newflags |= (vma->vm_flags & ~(VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC));

However, we *also* want to mask off the original VMA's vm_flags in
which we store the protection key.

To do that, this patch adds a new macro:

	ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS

which allows the architecture to specify additional bits that it would
like cleared.  We use that to ensure that the VM_PKEY_BIT* bits get
cleared.

7d06d9c9bd mm: Implement new pkey_mprotect() system call 
pkey_mprotect() is just like mprotect, except it also takes a
protection key as an argument.  On systems that do not support
protection keys, it still works, but requires that key=0.
Otherwise it does exactly what mprotect does.

I expect it to get used like this, if you want to guarantee that
any mapping you create can *never* be accessed without the right
protection keys set up.

	int real_prot = PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE;
	pkey = pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DENY_ACCESS);
	ptr = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
	ret = pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, real_prot, pkey);

This way, there is *no* window where the mapping is accessible
since it was always either PROT_NONE or had a protection key set
that denied all access.

We settled on 'unsigned long' for the type of the key here.  We
only need 4 bits on x86 today, but I figured that other
architectures might need some more space.

Semantically, we have a bit of a problem if we combine this
syscall with our previously-introduced execute-only support:
What do we do when we mix execute-only pkey use with
pkey_mprotect() use?  For instance:

	pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE, 6); // set pkey=6
	mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_EXEC);  // set pkey=X_ONLY_PKEY?
	mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE); // is pkey=6 again?

To solve that, we make the plain-mprotect()-initiated execute-only
support only apply to VMAs that have the default protection key (0)
set on them.

Proposed semantics:
1. protection key 0 is special and represents the default,
   "unassigned" protection key.  It is always allocated.
2. mprotect() never affects a mapping's pkey_mprotect()-assigned
   protection key. A protection key of 0 (even if set explicitly)
   represents an unassigned protection key.
   2a. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) on a mapping with an assigned protection
       key may or may not result in a mapping with execute-only
       properties.  pkey_mprotect() plus pkey_set() on all threads
       should be used to _guarantee_ execute-only semantics if this
       is not a strong enough semantic.
3. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) may result in an "execute-only" mapping. The
   kernel will internally attempt to allocate and dedicate a
   protection key for the purpose of execute-only mappings.  This
   may not be possible in cases where there are no free protection
   keys available.  It can also happen, of course, in situations
   where there is no hardware support for protection keys.

dc0ef0df7b mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls 
This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1].  As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way.  This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.

Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending).  Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.

As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).

This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree.  I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.

I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here

  $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l
  98
  $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l
  62

I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in
this series because this alone should be a nice improvement.  Other
places can be changed on top.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1456750705-7141-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org

This patch (of 18):

This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable.  It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.

Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR.  This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress.  E.g.  the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.

The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap.  To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.

vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

f138556daf mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fs 
The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
binary on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs.  The mprotect
does not check whether fs is _executable_ or not.  The PROT_EXEC flag is
set automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec
fs.  Fix it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a
non-exec fs.  If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ.  The
implementation uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap.  Now it is
consistent with mmap.

I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs).  I
also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel and it
seems to work.

62b5f7d013 mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys support 
Protection keys provide new page-based protection in hardware.
But, they have an interesting attribute: they only affect data
accesses and never affect instruction fetches.  That means that
if we set up some memory which is set as "access-disabled" via
protection keys, we can still execute from it.

This patch uses protection keys to set up mappings to do just that.
If a user calls:

	mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
	mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

(note PROT_EXEC-only without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will
notice this, and set a special protection key on the memory.  It
also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights
(PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and
unwritable.

I haven't found any userspace that does this today.  With this
facility in place, we expect userspace to move to use it
eventually.  Userspace _could_ start doing this today.  Any
PROT_EXEC calls get converted to PROT_READ inside the kernel, and
would transparently be upgraded to "true" PROT_EXEC with this
code.  IOW, userspace never has to do any PROT_EXEC runtime
detection.

This feature provides enhanced protection against leaking
executable memory contents.  This helps thwart attacks which are
attempting to find ROP gadgets on the fly.

But, the security provided by this approach is not comprehensive.
The PKRU register which controls access permissions is a normal
user register writable from unprivileged userspace.  An attacker
who can execute the 'wrpkru' instruction can easily disable the
protection provided by this feature.

The protection key that is used for execute-only support is
permanently dedicated at compile time.  This is fine for now
because there is currently no API to set a protection key other
than this one.

Despite there being a constant PKRU value across the entire
system, we do not set it unless this feature is in use in a
process.  That is to preserve the PKRU XSAVE 'init state',
which can lead to faster context switches.

PKRU *is* a user register and the kernel is modifying it.  That
means that code doing:

	pkru = rdpkru()
	pkru |= 0x100;
	mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
	wrpkru(pkru);

could lose the bits in PKRU that enforce execute-only
permissions.  To avoid this, we suggest avoiding ever calling
mmap() or mprotect() when the PKRU value is expected to be
unstable.

6b9116a652 mm, dax: check for pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd() 
DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd.  This simple approach
reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge
page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail.  PTE table can be
allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store.

But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after
split_huge_pmd().  In most places we do this already to deal with
parallel MADV_DONTNEED.

But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due
down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX
properly.

8463833590 mm: rework virtual memory accounting 
When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which
testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign
new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been
commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do
anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall
for dynamic memory allocations.

Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable
for anonymous memory accounting.  But in this patch we go further, and
the changes are bundled together as:

 * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits
 * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm
 * account anonymous executable areas as executable
 * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack
 * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account
 * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas

This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends
only on vm_flags state:

 VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE            -> code  (VmExe + VmLib in proc)
 VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN      -> stack (VmStk)
 VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data  (VmData)

The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called
"shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO
area.

19a809afe2 userfaultfd: teach vma_merge to merge across vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx 
vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx is yet another vma parameter that vma_merge
must be aware about so that we can merge vmas back like they were
originally before arming the userfaultfd on some memory range.

36f881883c mm: fix mprotect() behaviour on VM_LOCKED VMAs 
On mlock(2) we trigger COW on private writable VMA to avoid faults in
future.

mm/gup.c:
 840 long populate_vma_page_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
 841                 unsigned long start, unsigned long end, int *nonblocking)
 842 {
 ...
 855          * We want to touch writable mappings with a write fault in order
 856          * to break COW, except for shared mappings because these don't COW
 857          * and we would not want to dirty them for nothing.
 858          */
 859         if ((vma->vm_flags & (VM_WRITE | VM_SHARED)) == VM_WRITE)
 860                 gup_flags |= FOLL_WRITE;

But we miss this case when we make VM_LOCKED VMA writeable via
mprotect(2). The test case:

	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <sys/resource.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>
	#include <sys/time.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>

	#define PAGE_SIZE 4096

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		struct rusage usage;
		long before;
		char *p;
		int fd;

		/* Create a file and populate first page of page cache */
		fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);
		write(fd, "1", 1);

		/* Create a *read-only* *private* mapping of the file */
		p = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);

		/*
		 * Since the mapping is read-only, mlock() will populate the mapping
		 * with PTEs pointing to page cache without triggering COW.
		 */
		mlock(p, PAGE_SIZE);

		/*
		 * Mapping became read-write, but it's still populated with PTEs
		 * pointing to page cache.
		 */
		mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);

		getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage);
		before = usage.ru_minflt;

		/* Trigger COW: fault in mlock()ed VMA. */
		*p = 1;

		getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage);
		printf("faults: %ld\n", usage.ru_minflt - before);

		return 0;
	}

	$ ./test
	faults: 1

Let's fix it by triggering populating of VMA in mprotect_fixup() on this
condition. We don't care about population error as we don't in other
similar cases i.e. mremap.

b191f9b106 mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault 
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit
and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set
the writable bit again.  This patch preserves the writable bit when
trapping NUMA hinting faults.  The impact is obvious from the number of
minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system
CPU usage;

There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair
workload

  Amean    syst-xfsrepair      277.20 (  0.00%)      204.68 ( 26.16%)

The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse.  The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse.  It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.

10c1045f28 mm: numa: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when setting NUMA hinting entries 
If a PTE or PMD is already marked NUMA when scanning to mark entries for
NUMA hinting then it is not necessary to update the entry and incur a TLB
flush penalty.  Avoid the avoidhead where possible.
