commit 5aae9265ee upstream.
Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or
head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing
page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there).
But now commit 71e2d666ef ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t
during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be
non-0 (unless it's swapcache).
Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of
just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003,
dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private.
We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want
page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so
now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but
not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

The problem can be reproduced with the mmtests config
config-workload-stressng-mmap. It does not always happen and when it
triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.
The intent of commit b653db7735 patch was to avoid the case where
PG_private is clear but folio->private is not-NULL. However, THP tail
pages uses page->private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as
stated in the documentation for struct folio. This patch only clobbers
page->private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and
warns once if page->private had an unexpected value.

Ever since the Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) security issue happened, we know
that FOLL_FORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races
that can be exploited by user space.
Right now, it would be sufficient to have some code that sets a PTE of a
R/O-mapped shared page dirty, in order for it to erroneously become
writable by FOLL_FORCE. The implications of setting a write-protected PTE
dirty might not be immediately obvious to everyone.
And in fact ever since commit 9ae0f87d00 ("mm/shmem: unconditionally set
pte dirty in mfill_atomic_install_pte"), we can use UFFDIO_CONTINUE to map
a shmem page R/O while marking the pte dirty. This can be used by
unprivileged user space to modify tmpfs/shmem file content even if the
user does not have write permissions to the file, and to bypass memfd
write sealing -- Dirty COW restricted to tmpfs/shmem (CVE-2022-2590).
To fix such security issues for good, the insight is that we really only
need that fancy retry logic (FOLL_COW) for COW mappings that are not
writable (!VM_WRITE). And in a COW mapping, we really only broke COW if
we have an exclusive anonymous page mapped. If we have something else
mapped, or the mapped anonymous page might be shared (!PageAnonExclusive),
we have to trigger a write fault to break COW. If we don't find an
exclusive anonymous page when we retry, we have to trigger COW breaking
once again because something intervened.
Let's move away from this mandatory-retry + dirty handling and rely on our
PageAnonExclusive() flag for making a similar decision, to use the same
COW logic as in other kernel parts here as well. In case we stumble over
a PTE in a COW mapping that does not map an exclusive anonymous page, COW
was not properly broken and we have to trigger a fake write-fault to break
COW.
Just like we do in can_change_pte_writable() added via commit 64fe24a3e0
("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages
when changing protection") and commit 76aefad628 ("mm/mprotect: fix
soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()"), take care of softdirty
and uffd-wp manually.
For example, a write() via /proc/self/mem to a uffd-wp-protected range has
to fail instead of silently granting write access and bypassing the
userspace fault handler. Note that FOLL_FORCE is not only used for debug
access, but also triggered by applications without debug intentions, for
example, when pinning pages via RDMA.
This fixes CVE-2022-2590. Note that only x86_64 and aarch64 are
affected, because only those support CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR.
Fortunately, FOLL_COW is no longer required to handle FOLL_FORCE. So
let's just get rid of it.
Thanks to Nadav Amit for pointing out that the pte_dirty() check in
FOLL_FORCE code is problematic and might be exploitable.
Note 1: We don't check for the PTE being dirty because it doesn't matter
for making a "was COWed" decision anymore, and whoever modifies the
page has to set the page dirty either way.
Note 2: Kernels before extended uffd-wp support and before
PageAnonExclusive (< 5.19) can simply revert the problematic
commit instead and be safe regarding UFFDIO_CONTINUE. A backport to
v5.19 requires minor adjustments due to lack of
vma_soft_dirty_enabled().

The page fault path checks THP eligibility with __transhuge_page_enabled()
which does the similar thing as hugepage_vma_check(), so use
hugepage_vma_check() instead.
However page fault allows DAX and !anon_vma cases, so added a new flag,
in_pf, to hugepage_vma_check() to make page fault work correctly.
The in_pf flag is also used to skip shmem and file THP for page fault
since shmem handles THP in its own shmem_fault() and file THP allocation
on fault is not supported yet.
Also remove hugepage_vma_enabled() since hugepage_vma_check() is the only
caller now, it is not necessary to have a helper function.

The transparent_hugepage_active() was introduced to show THP eligibility
bit in smaps in proc, smaps is the only user. But it actually does the
similar check as hugepage_vma_check() which is used by khugepaged. We
definitely don't have to maintain two similar checks, so kill
transparent_hugepage_active().
This patch also fixed the wrong behavior for VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED vmas.
Also move hugepage_vma_check() to huge_memory.c and huge_mm.h since it
is not only for khugepaged anymore.

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.
This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.
In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.
The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.
After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:

In our efforts to remove uses of PG_private, we have found folios with
the private flag clear and folio->private not-NULL. That is the root
cause behind 642d51fb07 ("ceph: check folio PG_private bit instead
of folio->private"). It can also affect a few other filesystems that
haven't yet reported a problem.
compaction_alloc() can return a page with uninitialised page->private,
and rather than checking all the callers of migrate_pages(), just zero
page->private after calling get_new_page(). Similarly, the tail pages
from split_huge_page() may also have an uninitialised page->private.

If xas_split_alloc() fails to allocate the necessary nodes to complete the
xarray entry split, it sets the xa_state to -ENOMEM, which xas_nomem()
then interprets as "Please allocate more memory", not as "Please free
any unnecessary memory" (which was the intended outcome). It's confusing
to use xas_nomem() to free memory in this context, so call xas_destroy()
instead.

Calls to change_protection_range() on THP can trigger, at least on x86,
two TLB flushes for one page: one immediately, when pmdp_invalidate() is
called by change_huge_pmd(), and then another one later (that can be
batched) when change_protection_range() finishes.
The first TLB flush is only necessary to prevent the dirty bit (and with a
lesser importance the access bit) from changing while the PTE is modified.
However, this is not necessary as the x86 CPUs set the dirty-bit
atomically with an additional check that the PTE is (still) present. One
caveat is Intel's Knights Landing that has a bug and does not do so.
Leverage this behavior to eliminate the unnecessary TLB flush in
change_huge_pmd(). Introduce a new arch specific pmdp_invalidate_ad()
that only invalidates the access and dirty bit from further changes.

Currently, using mprotect() to unprotect a memory region or uffd to
unprotect a memory region causes a TLB flush. However, in such cases the
PTE is often not modified (i.e., remain RO) and therefore not TLB flush is
needed.
Add an arch-specific pte_needs_flush() which tells whether a TLB flush is
needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86
pte_needs_flush().
Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping
a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the
flush.
Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine
the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the
architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not
be careful and use the latter.

Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6.
This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during
mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and
further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible.
Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set:
1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do
better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd
enhancements.
2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that
provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions,
we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious
page-faults.
3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to
prevent the A/D bits from changing.
Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy
determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I
therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on
anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by
avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes:
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ)
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
*p = 0; // make the page writable
The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was
busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation:
1 thread 2 threads
mmots +patch mmots +patch
PROT_READ 3494 2725 (-22%) 8630 7788 (-10%)
PROT_READ|WRITE 3952 2724 (-31%) 9075 2865 (-68%)
[ mmots = v5.17-rc6-mmots-2022-03-06-20-38 ]
The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There
are 2 interesting results though.
(1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected.
This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved
(2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even
greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush.
As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500
cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as
high as presented in the table.
This patch (of 3):
change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead
implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the
code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes,
and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer
granularity.
The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios
even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs
to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be
flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction
can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would
Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs
requires a single flush.
Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only
record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range().
Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes
redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".
Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.
This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.
Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements.
There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.
This patch (of 10):
Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/
Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.
Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

Let's verify when (un)pinning anonymous pages that we always deal with
exclusive anonymous pages, which guarantees that we'll have a reliable
PIN, meaning that we cannot end up with the GUP pin being inconsistent
with he pages mapped into the page tables due to a COW triggered by a
write fault.
When pinning pages, after conditionally triggering GUP unsharing of
possibly shared anonymous pages, we should always only see exclusive
anonymous pages. Note that anonymous pages that are mapped writable must
be marked exclusive, otherwise we'd have a BUG.
When pinning during ordinary GUP, simply add a check after our conditional
GUP-triggered unsharing checks. As we know exactly how the page is
mapped, we know exactly in which page we have to check for
PageAnonExclusive().
When pinning via GUP-fast we have to be careful, because we can race with
fork(): verify only after we made sure via the seqcount that we didn't
race with concurrent fork() that we didn't end up pinning a possibly
shared anonymous page.
Similarly, when unpinning, verify that the pages are still marked as
exclusive: otherwise something turned the pages possibly shared, which can
result in random memory corruptions, which we really want to catch.
With only the pinned pages at hand and not the actual page table entries
we have to be a bit careful: hugetlb pages are always mapped via a single
logical page table entry referencing the head page and PG_anon_exclusive
of the head page applies. Anon THP are a bit more complicated, because we
might have obtained the page reference either via a PMD or a PTE --
depending on the mapping type we either have to check PageAnonExclusive of
the head page (PMD-mapped THP) or the tail page (PTE-mapped THP) applies:
as we don't know and to make our life easier, check that either is set.
Take care to not verify in case we're unpinning during GUP-fast because we
detected concurrent fork(): we might stumble over an anonymous page that
is now shared.

Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that
might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault
on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page
due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the
page actually mapped into the page table.
The possible ways to deal with this situation are:
(1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now.
(2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and
could break user space.
(3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O
pins.
Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and allows
for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs: when
trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something went
very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard to
debug. So we better have a nice way to spot such issues.
This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private mapping
(IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will always remain
consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages.
As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with
FOLL_PIN as documented in:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com
The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET
instead of FOLL_PIN.
Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in
there with FOLL_PIN.
This commit is heavily based on prototype patches by Andrea.

when trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something
went very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard

To implement 3), we need a way for GUP to trigger unsharing:
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE is only applicable to R/O mapped
anonymous pages and resembles COW logic during a write fault. However, in
contrast to a write fault, GUP-triggered unsharing will, for example,
still maintain the write protection.
Let's implement FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE by hooking into the existing write
fault handlers for all applicable anonymous page types: ordinary pages,
THP and hugetlb.
* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that has been
marked exclusive in the meantime by someone else, there is nothing to do.
* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that's not
marked exclusive, it will try detecting if the process is the exclusive
owner. If exclusive, it can be set exclusive similar to reuse logic
during write faults via page_move_anon_rmap() and there is nothing
else to do; otherwise, we either have to copy and map a fresh,
anonymous exclusive page R/O (ordinary pages, hugetlb), or split the
THP.

Let's mark exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive as
exclusive, and use that information to make GUP pins reliable and stay
consistent with the page mapped into the page table even if the page table
entry gets write-protected.
With that information at hand, we can extend our COW logic to always reuse
anonymous pages that are exclusive. For anonymous pages that might be
shared, the existing logic applies.
As already documented, PG_anon_exclusive is usually only expressive in
combination with a page table entry. Especially PTE vs. PMD-mapped
anonymous pages require more thought, some examples: due to mremap() we
can easily have a single compound page PTE-mapped into multiple page
tables exclusively in a single process -- multiple page table locks apply.
Further, due to MADV_WIPEONFORK we might not necessarily write-protect
all PTEs, and only some subpages might be pinned. Long story short: once
PTE-mapped, we have to track information about exclusivity per sub-page,
but until then, we can just track it for the compound page in the head
page and not having to update a whole bunch of subpages all of the time
for a simple PMD mapping of a THP.
For simplicity, this commit mostly talks about "anonymous pages", while
it's for THP actually "the part of an anonymous folio referenced via a
page table entry".
To not spill PG_anon_exclusive code all over the mm code-base, we let the
anon rmap code to handle all PG_anon_exclusive logic it can easily handle.
If a writable, present page table entry points at an anonymous (sub)page,
that (sub)page must be PG_anon_exclusive. If GUP wants to take a reliably
pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page references via a present page table
entry, it must only pin if PG_anon_exclusive is set for the mapped
(sub)page.
This commit doesn't adjust GUP, so this is only implicitly handled for
FOLL_WRITE, follow-up commits will teach GUP to also respect it for
FOLL_PIN without FOLL_WRITE, to make all GUP pins of anonymous pages fully
reliable.
Whenever an anonymous page is to be shared (fork(), KSM), or when
temporarily unmapping an anonymous page (swap, migration), the relevant
PG_anon_exclusive bit has to be cleared to mark the anonymous page
possibly shared. Clearing will fail if there are GUP pins on the page:
* For fork(), this means having to copy the page and not being able to
share it. fork() protects against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and
the src_mm->write_protect_seq.
* For KSM, this means sharing will fail. For swap this means, unmapping
will fail, For migration this means, migration will fail early. All
three cases protect against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and a
proper clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry.
This fixes memory corruptions reported for FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE, when a
pinned page gets mapped R/O and the successive write fault ends up
replacing the page instead of reusing it. It improves the situation for
O_DIRECT/vmsplice/... that still use FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN, if
fork() is *not* involved, however swapout and fork() are still
problematic. Properly using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET for these GUP
users will fix the issue for them.
I. Details about basic handling
I.1. Fresh anonymous pages
page_add_new_anon_rmap() and hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() will mark the
given page exclusive via __page_set_anon_rmap(exclusive=1). As that is
the mechanism fresh anonymous pages come into life (besides migration code
where we copy the page->mapping), all fresh anonymous pages will start out
as exclusive.
I.2. COW reuse handling of anonymous pages
When a COW handler stumbles over a (sub)page that's marked exclusive, it
simply reuses it. Otherwise, the handler tries harder under page lock to
detect if the (sub)page is exclusive and can be reused. If exclusive,
page_move_anon_rmap() will mark the given (sub)page exclusive.
Note that hugetlb code does not yet check for PageAnonExclusive(), as it
still uses the old COW logic that is prone to the COW security issue
because hugetlb code cannot really tolerate unnecessary/wrong COW as huge
pages are a scarce resource.
I.3. Migration handling
try_to_migrate() has to try marking an exclusive anonymous page shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. migrate_vma_collect_pmd() and
__split_huge_pmd_locked() are handled similarly.
Writable migration entries implicitly point at shared anonymous pages.
For readable migration entries that information is stored via a new
"readable-exclusive" migration entry, specific to anonymous pages.
When restoring a migration entry in remove_migration_pte(), information
about exlusivity is detected via the migration entry type, and
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is set accordingly for
page_add_anon_rmap()/hugepage_add_anon_rmap() to restore that information.
I.4. Swapout handling
try_to_unmap() has to try marking the mapped page possibly shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. For now, information about exclusivity is lost. In
the future, we might want to remember that information in the swap entry
in some cases, however, it requires more thought, care, and a way to store
that information in swap entries.
I.5. Swapin handling
do_swap_page() will never stumble over exclusive anonymous pages in the
swap cache, as try_to_migrate() prohibits that. do_swap_page() always has
to detect manually if an anonymous page is exclusive and has to set
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE for page_add_anon_rmap() accordingly.
I.6. THP handling
__split_huge_pmd_locked() has to move the information about exclusivity
from the PMD to the PTEs.
a) In case we have a readable-exclusive PMD migration entry, simply
insert readable-exclusive PTE migration entries.
b) In case we have a present PMD entry and we don't want to freeze
("convert to migration entries"), simply forward PG_anon_exclusive to
all sub-pages, no need to temporarily clear the bit.
c) In case we have a present PMD entry and want to freeze, handle it
similar to try_to_migrate(): try marking the page shared first. In
case we fail, we ignore the "freeze" instruction and simply split
ordinarily. try_to_migrate() will properly fail because the THP is
still mapped via PTEs.
When splitting a compound anonymous folio (THP), the information about
exclusivity is implicitly handled via the migration entries: no need to
replicate PG_anon_exclusive manually.
I.7. fork() handling fork() handling is relatively easy, because
PG_anon_exclusive is only expressive for some page table entry types.
a) Present anonymous pages
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared -- which will
fail if the page is pinned. If it failed, we have to copy (or PTE-map a
PMD to handle it on the PTE level).
Note that device exclusive entries are just a pointer at a PageAnon()
page. fork() will first convert a device exclusive entry to a present
page table and handle it just like present anonymous pages.
b) Device private entry
Device private entries point at PageAnon() pages that cannot be mapped
directly and, therefore, cannot get pinned.
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared, which cannot
fail because they cannot get pinned.
c) HW poison entries
PG_anon_exclusive will remain untouched and is stale -- the page table
entry is just a placeholder after all.
d) Migration entries
Writable and readable-exclusive entries are converted to readable entries:
possibly shared.
I.8. mprotect() handling
mprotect() only has to properly handle the new readable-exclusive
migration entry:
When write-protecting a migration entry that points at an anonymous page,
remember the information about exclusivity via the "readable-exclusive"
migration entry type.
II. Migration and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a migration entry, we have to mark the page possibly
shared and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush
to make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_migrate() places a migration entry after checking for GUP pins
and marks the page possibly shared.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization
3. fork() converts the "writable/readable-exclusive" migration entry into a
readable migration entry
4. Migration fails due to the GUP pin (failing to freeze the refcount)
5. Migration entries are restored. PG_anon_exclusive is lost
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
Note that we move information about exclusivity from the page to the
migration entry as it otherwise highly overcomplicates fork() and
PTE-mapping a THP.
III. Swapout and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a swap entry, we have to mark the page possibly shared
and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush to
make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_unmap() places a swap entry after checking for GUP pins and
clears exclusivity information on the page.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization.
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
If we'd ever store information about exclusivity in the swap entry,
similar to migration handling, the same considerations as in II would
apply. This is future work.

Calling try_to_unmap() with TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD and a folio that's not
mapped by a PMD causes oopses on arm64 because we now call page_folio()
on an invalid page. pmd_page() returns a valid page for non-leaf PMDs on
some architectures, so this bug escaped testing before now. Fix this bug
by delaying the call to pmd_page() until after we know the PMD is a leaf.
