2016-04-07mm/gup: Remove the macro overload API migration helpers from the get_user*() ↵Ingo Molnar
APIs The pkeys changes brought about a truly hideous set of macros in: cde70140fed8 ("mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions") ... which macros are (ab-)using the fact that __VA_ARGS__ can be used to shift parameter positions in macro arguments without breaking the build and so can be used to call separate C functions depending on the number of arguments of the macro. This allowed easy migration of these 3 GUP APIs, as both these variants worked at the C level: old: ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); new: ret = get_user_pages(address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); ... while we also generated a (functionally harmless but noticeable) build time warning if the old API was used. As there are over 300 uses of these APIs, this trick eased the migration of the API and avoided excessive migration pain in linux-next. Now, with its work done, get rid of all of that complication and ugliness: 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) ... where the linecount of the migration hack was further inflated by the fact that there are NOMMU variants of these GUP APIs as well. Much of the conversion was done in linux-next over the past couple of months, and Linus recently removed all remaining old API uses from the upstream tree in the following upstrea commit: cb107161df3c ("Convert straggling drivers to new six-argument get_user_pages()") There was one more old-API usage in mm/gup.c, in the CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP code path that ARM, ARM64 and PowerPC uses. After this commit any old API usage will break the build.

2016-02-18mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Differentiate instruction fetchesDave Hansen
As discussed earlier, we attempt to enforce protection keys in software. However, the code checks all faults to ensure that they are not violating protection key permissions. It was assumed that all faults are either write faults where we check PKRU[key].WD (write disable) or read faults where we check the AD (access disable) bit. But, there is a third category of faults for protection keys: instruction faults. Instruction faults never run afoul of protection keys because they do not affect instruction fetches. So, plumb the PF_INSTR bit down in to the arch_vma_access_permitted() function where we do the protection key checks. We also add a new FAULT_FLAG_INSTRUCTION. This is because handle_mm_fault() is not passed the architecture-specific error_code where we keep PF_INSTR, so we need to encode the instruction fetch information in to the arch-generic fault flags.

2016-02-18mm/core: Do not enforce PKEY permissions on remote mm accessDave Hansen
We try to enforce protection keys in software the same way that we do in hardware. (See long example below). But, we only want to do this when accessing our *own* process's memory. If GDB set PKRU[6].AD=1 (disable access to PKEY 6), then tried to PTRACE_POKE a target process which just happened to have some mprotect_pkey(pkey=6) memory, we do *not* want to deny the debugger access to that memory. PKRU is fundamentally a thread-local structure and we do not want to enforce it on access to _another_ thread's data. This gets especially tricky when we have workqueues or other delayed-work mechanisms that might run in a random process's context. We can check that we only enforce pkeys when operating on our *own* mm, but delayed work gets performed when a random user context is active. We might end up with a situation where a delayed-work gup fails when running randomly under its "own" task but succeeds when running under another process. We want to avoid that. To avoid that, we use the new GUP flag: FOLL_REMOTE and add a fault flag: FAULT_FLAG_REMOTE. They indicate that we are walking an mm which is not guranteed to be the same as current->mm and should not be subject to protection key enforcement. Thanks to Jerome Glisse for pointing out this scenario.

2016-02-18mm/gup, x86/mm/pkeys: Check VMAs and PTEs for protection keysDave Hansen
Today, for normal faults and page table walks, we check the VMA and/or PTE to ensure that it is compatible with the action. For instance, if we get a write fault on a non-writeable VMA, we SIGSEGV. We try to do the same thing for protection keys. Basically, we try to make sure that if a user does this: mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_NONE); *ptr = foo; they see the same effects with protection keys when they do this: mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE); set_pkey(ptr, size, 4); wrpkru(0xffffff3f); // access disable pkey 4 *ptr = foo; The state to do that checking is in the VMA, but we also sometimes have to do it on the page tables only, like when doing a get_user_pages_fast() where we have no VMA. We add two functions and expose them to generic code: arch_pte_access_permitted(pte_flags, write) arch_vma_access_permitted(vma, write) These are, of course, backed up in x86 arch code with checks against the PTE or VMA's protection key. But, there are also cases where we do not want to respect protection keys. When we ptrace(), for instance, we do not want to apply the tracer's PKRU permissions to the PTEs from the process being traced.

2016-02-16mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functionsDave Hansen
The concept here was a suggestion from Ingo. The implementation horrors are all mine. This allows get_user_pages(), get_user_pages_unlocked(), and get_user_pages_locked() to be called with or without the leading tsk/mm arguments. We will give a compile-time warning about the old style being __deprecated and we will also WARN_ON() if the non-remote version is used for a remote-style access. Doing this, folks will get nice warnings and will not break the build. This should be nice for -next and will hopefully let developers fix up their own code instead of maintainers needing to do it at merge time. The way we do this is hideous. It uses the __VA_ARGS__ macro functionality to call different functions based on the number of arguments passed to the macro. There's an additional hack to ensure that our EXPORT_SYMBOL() of the deprecated symbols doesn't trigger a warning. We should be able to remove this mess as soon as -rc1 hits in the release after this is merged.

2016-02-16mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()Dave Hansen
For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections should be enforced in software or not. In general, we enforce protections when working on our own task, but not when on others. We call these "current" and "remote" operations. This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant: get_user_pages_remote() Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on non-current tsk/mm. We also introduce a new gup flag: FOLL_REMOTE which can be used for the "__" gup variants to get this new behavior. The uprobes is_trap_at_addr() location holds mmap_sem and calls get_user_pages(current->mm) on an instruction address. This makes it a pretty unique gup caller. Being an instruction access and also really originating from the kernel (vs. the app), I opted to consider this a 'remote' access where protection keys will not be enforced. Without protection keys, this patch should not change any behavior.

2016-01-15mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlockDominik Dingel
During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

2016-01-15thp: allow mlocked THP againKirill A. Shutemov
Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred to small pages. With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with this scenario: 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA. 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP: - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED; - huge PMD split into PTE table; - THP is still mlocked; 3. split_huge_page(): - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA. We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them. With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15mm: drop tail page refcountingKirill A. Shutemov
Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now. Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much simpler. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15thp, mlock: do not allow huge pages in mlocked areaKirill A. Shutemov
With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky to track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems. With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas. I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside. We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for now.

With new refcounting we are going to see THP tail pages mapped with PTE. Generic fast GUP rely on page_cache_get_speculative() to obtain reference on page. page_cache_get_speculative() always fails on tail pages, because ->_count on tail pages is always zero. Let's handle tail pages in gup_pte_range(). New split_huge_page() will rely on migration entries to freeze page's counts.

2015-11-05mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULTEric B Munson
The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used this can incur a high penalty for locking. For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc). This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in. Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson <emunson@akamai.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2015-02-11mm: gup: add get_user_pages_locked and get_user_pages_unlockedAndrea Arcangeli
FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while waiting for I/O completion. The problem is that right now practically no get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging that nifty feature. Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either (the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem). So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times during I/O. The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is fully covered by this patch). A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The "vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the mmap_sem is released). While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ . The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault (no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry without it. This patch (of 5): We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked. The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during the call. Example from: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); to: int locked = 1; down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked); if (locked) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); into: get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages); Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we just make it explicit by dropping the parameter). If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

2015-02-11mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()Naoya Horiguchi
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock. This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page. This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any architectures or configurations. This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to properly handle the returned tail pages. We could have a choice to add the similar locking to follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it for future development.

2015-01-29vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling supportLinus Torvalds
The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

2014-12-18mm: replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE or barriersChristian Borntraeger
ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145) Let's change the code to access the page table elements with READ_ONCE that does implicit scalar accesses for the gup code. mm_find_pmd is tricky, because m68k and sparc(32bit) define pmd_t as array of longs. This code requires just that the pmd_present and pmd_trans_huge check are done on the same value, so a barrier is sufficent. A similar case is in handle_pte_fault. On ppc44x the word size is 32 bit, but a pte is 64 bit. A barrier is ok as well. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: Paul E.

2014-10-09mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()Steve Capper
This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations. It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

2014-09-24kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_semAndres Lagar-Cavilla
When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other guest process to take over. If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency. This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case of IO wait.
