[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ]
READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

This series addresses the issue first reported in [1], and fully described
in patch 2. Patches 1 and 2 address the user visible issue and are tagged
for stable backports.
While exploring solutions to this issue, related problems with mmu
notification calls were discovered. This is addressed in the patch
"hugetlb: remove duplicate mmu notifications:". Since there are no user
visible effects, this third is not tagged for stable backports.
Previous discussions suggested further cleanup by removing the
routine zap_page_range. This is possible because zap_page_range_single
is now exported, and all callers of zap_page_range pass ranges entirely
within a single vma. This work will be done in a later patch so as not
to distract from this bug fix.

This patch (of 2):
Expose the routine zap_page_range_single to zap a range within a single
vma. The madvise routine madvise_dontneed_single_vma can use this routine
as it explicitly operates on a single vma. Also, update the mmu
notification range in zap_page_range_single to take hugetlb pmd sharing
into account. This is required as MADV_DONTNEED supports hugetlb vmas.

A common use case for hugetlbfs is for the application to create
memory pools backed by huge pages, which then get handed over to
some malloc library (eg. jemalloc) for further management.
That malloc library may be doing MADV_DONTNEED calls on memory
that is no longer needed, expecting those calls to happen on
PAGE_SIZE boundaries.
However, currently the MADV_DONTNEED code rounds up any such
requests to HPAGE_PMD_SIZE boundaries. This leads to undesired
outcomes when jemalloc expects a 4kB MADV_DONTNEED, but 2MB of
memory get zeroed out, instead.
Use of pre-built shared libraries means that user code does not
always know the page size of every memory arena in use.
Avoid unexpected data loss with MADV_DONTNEED by rounding up
only to PAGE_SIZE (in do_madvise), and rounding down to huge
page granularity.
That way programs will only get as much memory zeroed out as
they requested.

Allow MADV_COLLAPSE behavior for process_madvise(2) if caller has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN or is requesting collapse of it's own memory.
This is useful for the development of userspace agents that seek to
optimize THP utilization system-wide by using userspace signals to
prioritize what memory is most deserving of being THP-backed.

This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1].
Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request
a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense.
The benefits of this approach are:
* CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the
THP
* Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse
Semantics
This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will
fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE. If the ranges provided span
multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent
from the others. This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary. If
collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may
continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified.
The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to
be hugepage-aligned. If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the
start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned
address covered by said range. The memory ranges must span at least one
hugepage-sized region.
All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be
swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly
allocated hugepage. Unmapped pages will have their data directly
initialized to 0 in the new hugepage. However, for every eligible
hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must
currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must
already exist).
Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or
compaction, regardless of VMA flags. When the system has multiple NUMA
nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most
native pages. This operation operates on the current state of the
specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how
pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future
Return Value
If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were
either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this
operation will be deemed successful. On success, process_madvise(2)
returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0. Else, -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently
attempted hugepage collapse. Note that many failures might have occurred,
since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single
hugepage-sized/aligned region fails.
ENOMEM Memory allocation failed or VMA not found
EBUSY Memcg charging failed
EAGAIN Required resource temporarily unavailable. Try again
might succeed.
EINVAL Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present
bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA
incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ...
Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended
to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an
appropriate fallback measure.
Use Cases
An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations
that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease
memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED;
zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage
coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that
could benefit from this[2].
Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional
support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is
expected. File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit:
* Backing executable text by THPs. Current support provided by
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which
might impair services from serving at their full rated load after
(re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to
immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand
paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With
MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance
and lower RAM footprints.
* Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been
migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a
userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

With DEVICE_COHERENT, we'll soon have vm_normal_pages() return
device-managed anonymous pages that are not LRU pages. Although they
behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page, and for COW.
They do not support LRU lists, NUMA migration or THP.
Callers to follow_page() currently don't expect ZONE_DEVICE pages,
however, with DEVICE_COHERENT we might now return ZONE_DEVICE. Check for
ZONE_DEVICE pages in applicable users of follow_page() as well.

Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared
on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.
Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the
kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE. This
leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.
Suggested by David&Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error
happens to avoid BUG like this:
Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page 0x61234

Once the MADV_FREE operation has succeeded, callers can expect they might
get zero-fill pages if accessing the memory again. Therefore it should be
safe to delete the hwpoison entry and swapin error entry. There is no
reason to kill the process if it has called MADV_FREE on the range.

swap_readpage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly
in succession.
For block-device swap-space, the blk_plug functionality allows the
multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be
used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when
CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page
reads.
With this patch we pass in a pointer-to-pointer when swap_readpage can
store state between calls - much like the effect of blk_plug. After
calling swap_readpage() some number of times, the state will be passed to
swap_read_unplug() which can submit the combined request.

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.

We can't assume pte_offset_map_lock will return same orig_pte value. So
it's necessary to reacquire the orig_pte or pte_unmap_unlock will unmap
the stale pte.

This reverts commit 08095d6310a7 ("mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes
passed to process_madvise") as process_madvise() fails to return the
exact processed bytes in other cases too.
As an example: if process_madvise() hits mlocked pages after processing
some initial bytes passed in [start, end), it just returns EINVAL
although some bytes are processed. Thus making an exception only for
ENOMEM is partially fixing the problem of returning the proper advised
bytes.
Thus revert this patch and return proper bytes advised.

MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT
and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use
cases for depopulating locked ranges as well.
Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure
buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and
invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with
explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds
two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and
re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages.
Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are
okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively
free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to
mess with its overall policy.
Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase?
- MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least
conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect
data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior
now could lead to quiet data corruption.
- It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe
MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves
different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later.
- The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is
probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages
from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page
anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from
speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't
change the default behavior because of the two previous points.
Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

Patch series "Add hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED support", v3.
Userfaultfd selftests for hugetlb does not perform UFFD_EVENT_REMAP
testing. However, mremap support was recently added in commit
550a7d60bd5e ("mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed
vma"). While attempting to enable mremap support in the test, it was
discovered that the mremap test indirectly depends on MADV_DONTNEED.
madvise does not allow MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings. However, that
is primarily due to the check in can_madv_lru_vma(). By simply removing
the check and adding huge page alignment, MADV_DONTNEED can be made to
work for hugetlb mappings.
Do note that there is no compelling use case for adding this support.
This was discussed in the RFC [1]. However, adding support makes sense as
it is fairly trivial and brings hugetlb functionality more in line with
'normal' memory.
After enabling support, add selftest for MADV_DONTNEED as well as
MADV_REMOVE. Then update userfaultfd selftest.
If new functionality is accepted, then madvise man page will be updated to
indicate hugetlb is supported. It will also be updated to clarify what
happens to the passed length argument.
This patch (of 3):
MADV_DONTNEED is currently disabled for hugetlb mappings. This certainly
makes sense in shared file mappings as the pagecache maintains a reference
to the page and it will never be freed. However, it could be useful to
unmap and free pages in private mappings. In addition, userfaultfd minor
fault users may be able to simplify code by using MADV_DONTNEED.
The primary thing preventing MADV_DONTNEED from working on hugetlb
mappings is a check in can_madv_lru_vma(). To allow support for hugetlb
mappings create and use a new routine madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma()
that allows hugetlb mappings in this specific case.
For normal mappings, madvise requires the start address be PAGE aligned
and rounds up length to the next multiple of PAGE_SIZE. Do similarly for
hugetlb mappings: require start address be huge page size aligned and
round up length to the next multiple of huge page size. Use the new
madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma routine to check alignment and round up
length/end. zap_page_range requires this alignment for hugetlb vmas
otherwise we will hit BUGs.

The process_madvise() system call is expected to skip holes in vma passed
through 'struct iovec' vector list. But do_madvise, which
process_madvise() calls for each vma, returns ENOMEM in case of unmapped
holes, despite the VMA is processed.
Thus process_madvise() should treat ENOMEM as expected and consider the
VMA passed to as processed and continue processing other vma's in the
vector list. Returning -ENOMEM to user, despite the VMA is processed,
will be unable to figure out where to start the next madvise.

Patch series "mm: madvise: return correct bytes processed with
process_madvise", v2. With the process_madvise(), always choose to return
non zero processed bytes over an error. This can help the user to know on
which VMA, passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list, is failed to advise
thus can take the decission of retrying/skipping on that VMA.
This patch (of 2):
The process_madvise() system call returns error even after processing some
VMA's passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list which leaves the user
confused to know where to restart the advise next. It is also against
this syscall man page[1] documentation where it mentions that "return
value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error
occurred after some iovec elements were already processed.".
Consider a user passed 10 VMA's in the 'struct iovec' vector list of which
9 are processed but one. Then it just returns the error caused on that
failed VMA despite the first 9 VMA's processed, leaving the user confused
about on which VMA it is failed. Returning the number of bytes processed
here can help the user to know which VMA it is failed on and thus can
retry/skip the advise on that VMA.

When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should not be
regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for mce handler, but
should return a distinct value, otherwise mce handler regards the error
page has been identified and isolated, which may lead to calling
set_mce_nospec() to change page attribute, etc.
Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the error
event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action for this
situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.

When adjacent vmas are being merged it can result in the vma that was
originally passed to madvise_update_vma being destroyed. In the current
implementation, the name parameter passed to madvise_update_vma points
directly to vma->anon_name and it is used after the call to vma_merge.
In the cases when vma_merge merges the original vma and destroys it,
this might result in UAF. For that the original vma would have to hold
the anon_vma_name with the last reference. The following vma would need
to contain a different anon_vma_name object with the same string. Such
scenario is shown below:
madvise_vma_behavior(vma)
madvise_update_vma(vma, ..., anon_name == vma->anon_name)
vma_merge(vma)
__vma_adjust(vma) <-- merges vma with adjacent one
vm_area_free(vma) <-- frees the original vma
replace_vma_anon_name(anon_name) <-- UAF of vma->anon_name
Fix this by raising the name refcount and stabilizing it.

A deep process chain with many vmas could grow really high. With
default sysctl_max_map_count (64k) and default pid_max (32k) the max
number of vmas in the system is 2147450880 and the refcounter has
headroom of 1073774592 before it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED
(3221225472).
Therefore it's unlikely that an anonymous name refcounter will overflow
with these defaults. Currently the max for pid_max is PID_MAX_LIMIT
(4194304) and for sysctl_max_map_count it's INT_MAX (2147483647). In
this configuration anon_vma_name refcount overflow becomes theoretically
possible (that still require heavy sharing of that anon_vma_name between
processes).
kref refcounting interface used in anon_vma_name structure will detect a
counter overflow when it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED value but will only
generate a warning and freeze the ref counter. This would lead to the
refcounted object never being freed. A determined attacker could leak
memory like that but it would be rather expensive and inefficient way to
do so.
To ensure anon_vma_name refcount does not overflow, stop anon_vma_name
sharing when the refcount reaches REFCOUNT_MAX (2147483647), which still
leaves INT_MAX/2 (1073741823) values before the counter reaches
REFCOUNT_SATURATED. This should provide enough headroom for raising the
refcounts temporarily.

Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by
using struct anon_vma_name whenever possible. This simplifies the code
and allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they
represent the same name.

munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but
not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count
will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when
mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all()
on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic
contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages.
There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the
munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped().
exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range().
And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas,
because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks?
No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

as that header is meant to only contain structure defintions and need a
minimum set of indirect includes itself.
While the header clearly includes more than it should at this point,
let's not make it worse by including string.h as well, which would pull
in the expensive (compile-speed wise) fortify-string logic.
Move the new functions into a separate header that only needs to be
included in a couple of locations.

While forking a process with high number (64K) of named anonymous vmas
the overhead caused by strdup() is noticeable. Experiments with ARM64
Android device show up to 40% performance regression when forking a
process with 64k unpopulated anonymous vmas using the max name lengths
vs the same process with the same number of anonymous vmas having no
name.
Introduce anon_vma_name refcounted structure to avoid the overhead of
copying vma names during fork() and when splitting named anonymous vmas.
When a vma is duplicated, instead of copying the name we increment the
refcount of this structure. Multiple vmas can point to the same
anon_vma_name as long as they increment the refcount. The name member
of anon_vma_name structure is assigned at structure allocation time and
is never changed. If vma name changes then the refcount of the original
structure is dropped, a new anon_vma_name structure is allocated to hold
the new name and the vma pointer is updated to point to the new
structure.
With this approach the fork() performance regressions is reduced 3-4x
times and with usecases using more reasonable number of VMAs (a few
thousand) the regressions is not measurable.

In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use. At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.
On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).
If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.
Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.
This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:<name>].
Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling
prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)
Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.
The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.
CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.
The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.
One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.
This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):
PR_SET_VMA
Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
size specified in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.
Currently, arg2 must be one of:
PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
can contain only printable ascii characters (including
space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

Refactor the madvise syscall to allow for parts of it to be reused by a
prctl syscall that affects vmas.
Move the code that walks vmas in a virtual address range into a function
that takes a function pointer as a parameter. The only caller for now
is sys_madvise, which uses it to call madvise_vma_behavior on each vma,
but the next patch will add an additional caller.
Move handling all vma behaviors inside madvise_behavior, and rename it
to madvise_vma_behavior.
Move the code that updates the flags on a vma, including splitting or
merging the vma as necessary, into a new function called
madvise_update_vma. The next patch will add support for updating a new
anon_name field as well.

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.
To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also
SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another
madvise() user error.
We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that
the user could have know as -EINVAL.
Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL,
but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space. While we could also convert
it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might
want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is
not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.

I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings
When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does
not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily
with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).
While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.
Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically
and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never
actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort
only.
fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a
safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults
on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads)
and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of
backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory
regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy
as it does not prefault page tables.
II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space
Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and
databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not
overwrite existing data) all individual pages.
However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
"Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
easy.
III. On MADV_WILLNEED
Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
"might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
might be spent.
IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
process.
While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.
MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.
Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also
be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is
not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.
Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements --
which should also still be the case.
V. Single-threaded performance comparison
I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results
correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.
V.1: Private mappings
POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and
prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.
V.2: Shared mappings
fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables.
POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.
Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault
page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.

process_madvise currently requires ptrace attach capability.
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH gives one process complete control over another
process. It effectively removes the security boundary between the two
processes (in one direction). Granting ptrace attach capability even to a
system process is considered dangerous since it creates an attack surface.
This severely limits the usage of this API.
The operations process_madvise can perform do not affect the correctness
of the operation of the target process; they only affect where the data is
physically located (and therefore, how fast it can be accessed). What we
want is the ability for one process to influence another process in order
to optimize performance across the entire system while leaving the
security boundary intact.
Replace PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH with a combination of PTRACE_MODE_READ and
CAP_SYS_NICE. PTRACE_MODE_READ to prevent leaking ASLR metadata and
CAP_SYS_NICE for influencing process performance.

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:
Here's an example to a simple idmapped mount of another user's home
directory:
u1001@f2-vm:/$ sudo ./mount --idmap both:1000:1001:1 /home/ubuntu/ /mnt
u1001@f2-vm:/$ ls -al /home/ubuntu/

The 'start' and 'end' arguments to tlb_gather_mmu() are no longer
needed now that there is a separate function for 'fullmm' flushing.
Remove the unused arguments and update all callers.

Since commit 7a30df49f63a ("mm: mmu_gather: remove __tlb_reset_range()
for force flush"), the 'start' and 'end' arguments to tlb_finish_mmu()
are no longer used, since we flush the whole mm in case of a nested
invalidation.
Remove the unused arguments and update all callers.

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.
Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path
respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few
codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit.
Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g.
ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more
complex argument passing than necessary.

madvise_inject_error() uses get_user_pages_fast to translate the address
we specified to a page. After [1], we drop the extra reference count for
memory_failure() path. That commit says that memory_failure wanted to
keep the pin in order to take the page out of circulation.
The truth is that we need to keep the page pinned, otherwise the page
might be re-used after the put_page() and we can end up messing with
someone else's memory.
E.g:
CPU0
process X CPU1
madvise_inject_error
get_user_pages
put_page
page gets reclaimed
process Y allocates the page
memory_failure
// We mess with process Y memory
madvise() is meant to operate on a self address space, so messing with
pages that do not belong to us seems the wrong thing to do.
To avoid that, let us keep the page pinned for memory_failure as well.
Pages for DAX mappings will release this extra refcount in
memory_failure_dev_pagemap.

memory_failure and soft_offline_path paths now drain pcplists by calling
get_hwpoison_page.
memory_failure flags the page as HWPoison before, so that page cannot
longer go into a pcplist, and soft_offline_page only flags a page as
HWPoison if 1) we took the page off a buddy freelist 2) the page was
in-use and we migrated it 3) was a clean pagecache.
Because of that, a page cannot longer be poisoned and be in a pcplist.

Jann spotted the security hole due to race of mm ownership check.
If the task is sharing the mm_struct but goes through execve() before
mm_access(), it could skip process_madvise_behavior_valid check. That
makes *any advice hint* to reach into the remote process.
This patch removes the mm ownership check. With it, it will lose the
ability that local process could give *any* advice hint with vector
interface for some reason (e.g., performance). Since there is no
concrete example in upstream yet, it would be better to remove the
abiliity at this moment and need to review when such new advice comes
up.
