There are many implementations of ->fault and some of them depend on
mmap_lock being held. All vm_ops that implement ->map_pages() end up
calling filemap_fault(), which I have audited to be sure it does not rely
on mmap_lock. So (for now) key off ->map_pages existing as a flag to
indicate that it's safe to call ->fault while only holding the vma lock.

It is usually safe to call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock. The only
unsafe situation is when no anon_vma has been allocated for this VMA, and
we have to look at adjacent VMAs to determine if their anon_vma can be
shared. Since this happens only for the first COW of a page in this VMA,
the majority of calls to wp_page_copy() do not need to fall back to the
mmap_sem.
Add vmf_anon_prepare() as an alternative to anon_vma_prepare() which will
return RETRY if we currently hold the VMA lock and need to allocate an
anon_vma. This lets us drop the check in do_wp_page().

Patch series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about
PTEs", v33.
*Motivation*
The real motivation for adding PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL is to emulate Windows
GetWriteWatch() and ResetWriteWatch() syscalls [1]. The GetWriteWatch()
retrieves the addresses of the pages that are written to in a region of
virtual memory.
This syscall is used in Windows applications and games etc. This syscall
is being emulated in pretty slow manner in userspace. Our purpose is to
enhance the kernel such that we translate it efficiently in a better way.
Currently some out of tree hack patches are being used to efficiently
emulate it in some kernels. We intend to replace those with these
patches. So the whole gaming on Linux can effectively get benefit from
this. It means there would be tons of users of this code.
CRIU use case [2] was mentioned by Andrei and Danylo:
> Use cases for migrating sparse VMAs are binaries sanitized with ASAN,
> MSAN or TSAN [3]. All of these sanitizers produce sparse mappings of
> shadow memory [4]. Being able to migrate such binaries allows to highly
> reduce the amount of work needed to identify and fix post-migration
> crashes, which happen constantly.
Andrei defines the following uses of this code:
* it is more granular and allows us to track changed pages more
effectively. The current interface can clear dirty bits for the entire
process only. In addition, reading info about pages is a separate
operation. It means we must freeze the process to read information
about all its pages, reset dirty bits, only then we can start dumping
pages. The information about pages becomes more and more outdated,
while we are processing pages. The new interface solves both these
downsides. First, it allows us to read pte bits and clear the
soft-dirty bit atomically. It means that CRIU will not need to freeze
processes to pre-dump their memory. Second, it clears soft-dirty bits
for a specified region of memory. It means CRIU will have actual info
about pages to the moment of dumping them.
* The new interface has to be much faster because basic page filtering
is happening in the kernel. With the old interface, we have to read
pagemap for each page.
*Implementation Evolution (Short Summary)*
From the definition of GetWriteWatch(), we feel like kernel's soft-dirty
feature can be used under the hood with some additions like:
* reset soft-dirty flag for only a specific region of memory instead of
clearing the flag for the entire process
* get and clear soft-dirty flag for a specific region atomically
So we decided to use ioctl on pagemap file to read or/and reset soft-dirty
flag. But using soft-dirty flag, sometimes we get extra pages which weren't
even written. They had become soft-dirty because of VMA merging and
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. This breaks the definition of GetWriteWatch(). We were
able to by-pass this short coming by ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY until David
reported that mprotect etc messes up the soft-dirty flag while ignoring
VM_SOFTDIRTY [5]. This wasn't happening until [6] got introduced. We
discussed if we can revert these patches. But we could not reach to any
conclusion. So at this point, I made couple of tries to solve this whole
VM_SOFTDIRTY issue by correcting the soft-dirty implementation:
* [7] Correct the bug fixed wrongly back in 2014. It had potential to cause
regression. We left it behind.
* [8] Keep a list of soft-dirty part of a VMA across splits and merges. I
got the reply don't increase the size of the VMA by 8 bytes.
At this point, we left soft-dirty considering it is too much delicate and
userfaultfd [9] seemed like the only way forward. From there onward, we
have been basing soft-dirty emulation on userfaultfd wp feature where
kernel resolves the faults itself when WP_ASYNC feature is used. It was
straight forward to add WP_ASYNC feature in userfautlfd. Now we get only
those pages dirty or written-to which are really written in reality. (PS
There is another WP_UNPOPULATED userfautfd feature is required which is
needed to avoid pre-faulting memory before write-protecting [9].)
All the different masks were added on the request of CRIU devs to create
interface more generic and better.

This patch (of 6):
Add a new userfaultfd-wp feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC, that allows
userfaultfd wr-protect faults to be resolved by the kernel directly.
It can be used like a high accuracy version of soft-dirty, without vma
modifications during tracking, and also with ranged support by default
rather than for a whole mm when reset the protections due to existence of
ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT).
Several goals of such a dirty tracking interface:
1. All types of memory should be supported and tracable. This is nature
for soft-dirty but should mention when the context is userfaultfd,
because it used to only support anon/shmem/hugetlb. The problem is for
a dirty tracking purpose these three types may not be enough, and it's
legal to track anything e.g. any page cache writes from mmap.
2. Protections can be applied to partial of a memory range, without vma
split/merge fuss. The hope is that the tracking itself should not
affect any vma layout change. It also helps when reset happens because
the reset will not need mmap write lock which can block the tracee.
3. Accuracy needs to be maintained. This means we need pte markers to work
on any type of VMA.
One could question that, the whole concept of async dirty tracking is not
really close to fundamentally what userfaultfd used to be: it's not "a
fault to be serviced by userspace" anymore. However, using userfaultfd-wp
here as a framework is convenient for us in at least:
1. VM_UFFD_WP vma flag, which has a very good name to suite something like
this, so we don't need VM_YET_ANOTHER_SOFT_DIRTY. Just use a new
feature bit to identify from a sync version of uffd-wp registration.
2. PTE markers logic can be leveraged across the whole kernel to maintain
the uffd-wp bit as long as an arch supports, this also applies to this
case where uffd-wp bit will be a hint to dirty information and it will
not go lost easily (e.g. when some page cache ptes got zapped).
3. Reuse ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT) interface for either starting or
resetting a range of memory, while there's no counterpart in the old
soft-dirty world, hence if this is wanted in a new design we'll need a
new interface otherwise.
We can somehow understand that commonality because uffd-wp was
fundamentally a similar idea of write-protecting pages just like
soft-dirty.
This implementation allows WP_ASYNC to imply WP_UNPOPULATED, because so
far WP_ASYNC seems to not usable if without WP_UNPOPULATE. This also
gives us chance to modify impl of WP_ASYNC just in case it could be not
depending on WP_UNPOPULATED anymore in the future kernels. It's also fine
to imply that because both features will rely on PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP config
option, so they'll show up together (or both missing) in an UFFDIO_API
probe.
vma_can_userfault() now allows any VMA if the userfaultfd registration is
only about async uffd-wp. So we can track dirty for all kinds of memory
including generic file systems (like XFS, EXT4 or BTRFS).
One trick worth mention in do_wp_page() is that we need to manually update
vmf->orig_pte here because it can be used later with a pte_same() check -
this path always has FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID set in the flags.
The major defect of this approach of dirty tracking is we need to populate
the pgtables when tracking starts. Soft-dirty doesn't do it like that.
It's unwanted in the case where the range of memory to track is huge and
unpopulated (e.g., tracking updates on a 10G file with mmap() on top,
without having any page cache installed yet). One way to improve this is
to allow pte markers exist for larger than PTE level for PMD+. That will
not change the interface if to implemented, so we can leave that for
later.

Malloc libraries, like jemalloc and tcalloc, take decisions on when to
call madvise independently from the code in the main application.
This sometimes results in the application page faulting on an address,
right after the malloc library has shot down the backing memory with
MADV_DONTNEED.
Usually this is harmless, because we always have some 4kB pages sitting
around to satisfy a page fault. However, with hugetlbfs systems often
allocate only the exact number of huge pages that the application wants.
Due to TLB batching, hugetlbfs MADV_DONTNEED will free pages outside of
any lock taken on the page fault path, which can open up the following
race condition:
CPU 1 CPU 2
MADV_DONTNEED
unmap page
shoot down TLB entry
page fault
fail to allocate a huge page
killed with SIGBUS
free page
Fix that race by pulling the locking from __unmap_hugepage_final_range
into helper functions called from zap_page_range_single. This ensures
page faults stay locked out of the MADV_DONTNEED VMA until the huge pages
have actually been freed.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

This might_sleep() goes back a long time: it was originally introduced
way back when by commit 010060741a ("x86: add might_sleep() to
do_page_fault()"), and made it into the generic VM code when the x86
fault path got re-organized and generalized in commit c2508ec5a5 ("mm:
introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper").
However, it turns out that the placement of that might_sleep() has
always been rather questionable simply because it's not only a debug
statement to warn about sleeping in contexts that shouldn't sleep (which
was the original reason for adding it), but it also implies a voluntary
scheduling point.
That, in turn, is less than desirable for two reasons:
(a) it ends up being done after we successfully got the mmap_lock, so
just as we got the lock we will now eagerly schedule away and
increase lock contention
and
(b) this is all very possibly part of the "oops, things went horribly
wrong" path and we just haven't figured that out yet
After all, the whole _reason_ for having that get_mmap_lock_carefully()
rather than just doing the obvious mmap_read_lock() is because this code
wants to deal somewhat gracefully with potential kernel wild pointer
bugs.
So then a voluntary scheduling point here is simply not a good idea.
We could certainly turn the 'might_sleep()' into a '__might_sleep()' and
make it be just the debug check that it was originally intended to be.
But even that seems questionable in the wild kernel pointer case - which
again is part of the whole point of this code. The problem wouldn't be
about the _sleeping_ part of the page fault, but about a bad kernel
access. The fact that that bad kernel access might happen in a section
that you shouldn't sleep in is secondary.
So it really ends up being the case that this is simply entirely the
wrong place to do this debug check and related scheduling point at all.
So let's just remove the check entirely. It's been around for over a
decade, it has served its purpose.
The re-schedule will happen at return to user space anyway for the
normal case, and the warning - if we even need it - might be better off
done as a special case for "page fault from kernel mode" once we've
dealt with any potential kernel oopses where the oops is the relevant
thing, not some artificial "scheduling while atomic" test.

Postpone checking the VMA_LOCK flag until we've attempted to handle faults
on PUDs. There's a mild upside to this patch in that we'll allocate the
page tables while under the VMA lock rather than the mmap lock, reducing
the hold time on the mmap lock, since the retry will find the page tables
already populated. The real purpose here is to make a commit that shows
we don't call ->huge_fault under the VMA lock. We do now handle setting
the accessed bit on a PUD fault under the VMA lock, but that doesn't seem
likely to be a measurable difference.

The majority of the calls to munmap a vm range is within a single vma.
The maple tree is able to store a single entry at 0, with a size of 1 as
a pointer and avoid any allocations. Change do_vmi_align_munmap() to
store the VMAs being munmap()'ed into a tree indexed by the count. This
will leverage the ability to store the first entry without a node
allocation.
Storing the entries into a tree by the count and not the vma start and
end means changing the functions which iterate over the entries. Update
unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() to take a maple state and a tree end
address to support this functionality.
Passing through the same maple state to unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables()
means the state needs to be reset between calls. This happens in the
static unmap_region() and exit_mmap().

Patch series "add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with UFFD",
v4.
This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4
for a detailed description of the feature.
This patch (of 8):
Future patches will reuse PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR to implement
UFFDIO_POISON, so make some various preparations for that:
First, rename it to just PTE_MARKER_POISONED. The "SWAPIN" can be
confusing since we're going to re-use it for something not really related
to swap. This can be particularly confusing for things like hugetlbfs,
which doesn't support swap whatsoever. Also rename some various helper
functions.
Next, fix pte marker copying for hugetlbfs. Previously, it would WARN on
seeing a PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR, since hugetlbfs doesn't support swap.
But, since we're going to re-use it, we want it to go ahead and copy it
just like non-hugetlbfs memory does today. Since the code to do this is
more complicated now, pull it out into a helper which can be re-used in
both places. While we're at it, also make it slightly more explicit in
its handling of e.g. uffd wp markers.
For non-hugetlbfs page faults, instead of returning VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for an
error entry, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. For most cases this change doesn't
matter, e.g. a userspace program would receive a SIGBUS either way. But
for UFFDIO_POISON, this change will let KVM guests get an MCE out of the
box, instead of giving a SIGBUS to the hypervisor and requiring it to
somehow inject an MCE.
Finally, for hugetlbfs faults, handle PTE_MARKER_POISONED, and return
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE in such cases. Note that this can't happen today
because the lack of swap support means we'll never end up with such a PTE
anyway, but this behavior will be needed once such entries *can* show up
via UFFDIO_POISON.
