2017-05-08mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitlyMichal Hocko
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

2017-05-08mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpersMichal Hocko
Patch series "kvmalloc", v5. There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately. While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there. kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die slowly.

2017-02-24userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmapsMike Rapoport
When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped. Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely changes in the virtual memory layout. Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate userfault file descriptors. The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

2017-02-22lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemaskMichal Hocko
show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

2016-12-14mm: join struct fault_env and vm_faultJan Kara
Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

2016-12-14mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()Lorenzo Stoakes
Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions. In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked() with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags. In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release of mmap_sem.) Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit 1e9877902dc7 ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not an issue.

2016-11-22ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mmEric W. Biederman
It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

2016-11-10lkdtm: Do not use flush_icache_range() on user addressesCatalin Marinas
The flush_icache_range() API is meant to be used on kernel addresses only as it may not have the infrastructure (exception entries) to handle user memory faults. The lkdtm execute_user_location() function tests the kernel execution of user space addresses by mmap'ing an anonymous page, copying some code together with cache maintenance and attempting to run it. However, the cache maintenance step may fail because of the incorrect API usage described above. The patch changes lkdtm to use access_process_vm() for copying the code into user space which would take care of the necessary cache maintenance.

2016-07-26mm: introduce fault_envKirill A. Shutemov
The idea borrowed from Peter's patch from patchset on speculative page faults[1]: Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments, replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context without endless function signature changes. The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code: filemap_map_pages() got reworked a bit. This patch is preparation for the next one.

2016-05-27mm: remove more IS_ERR_VALUE abusesLinus Torvalds
The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving like the mmap() interface does. However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion. What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer return of zero for success and negative error number on failure. So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention, and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk(). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys). There's a background article at LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/ The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of) protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that below). This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys - if a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either. We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion. There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this pull request. Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.

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.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

2015-07-10vfs: Commit to never having exectuables on proc and sysfs.Eric W. Biederman
Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files. Several applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs. Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems. Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and enforce that flag. Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the execute bit is cleared. The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects. This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs. Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables on proc. Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker: "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non modules. This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our alternate priority initcalls. Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls, because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do. For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code. This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit init ordering issue may lie uncovered. But I think it is still better to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering. Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this type of change isn't without precedent.

Compiling some arm/m68k configs with "# CONFIG_MMU is not set" reveals two more instances of module_init being used for code that can't possibly be modular, as CONFIG_MMU is either on or off. We replace them with subsys_initcall as per what was done in other mmu-enabled code. Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at the actual init functions themselves, we see they are just sysctl setup stuff, and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable. At the same time it minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future. Also, a couple instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

2015-02-28mm/nommu: fix memory leakJoonsoo Kim
Maxime reported the following memory leak regression due to commit dbc8358c7237 ("mm/nommu: use alloc_pages_exact() rather than its own implementation"). On v3.19, I am facing a memory leak. Each time I run a command one page is lost. Here an example with busybox's free command: / # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7928 1972 5956 0 0 492 -/+ buffers/cache: 1480 6448 / # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7928 1976 5952 0 0 492 -/+ buffers/cache: 1484 6444 / # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7928 1980 5948 0 0 492 -/+ buffers/cache: 1488 6440 / # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7928 1984 5944 0 0 492 -/+ buffers/cache: 1492 6436 / # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7928 1988 5940 0 0 492 -/+ buffers/cache: 1496 6432 At some point, the system fails to sastisfy 256KB allocations: free: page allocation failure: order:6, mode:0xd0 CPU: 0 PID: 67 Comm: free Not tainted 3.19.0-05389-gacf2cf1-dirty #64 Hardware name: STM32 (Device Tree Support) show_stack+0xb/0xc warn_alloc_failed+0x97/0xbc __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x295/0x35c __get_free_pages+0xb/0x24 alloc_pages_exact+0x19/0x24 do_mmap_pgoff+0x423/0x658 vm_mmap_pgoff+0x3f/0x4e load_flat_file+0x20d/0x4f8 load_flat_binary+0x3f/0x26c search_binary_handler+0x51/0xe4 do_execveat_common+0x271/0x35c do_execve+0x19/0x1c ret_fast_syscall+0x1/0x4a Mem-info: Normal per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 active_anon:0 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:0 active_file:0 inactive_file:0 isolated_file:0 unevictable:123 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:1515 slab_reclaimable:17 slab_unreclaimable:139 mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0 free_cma:0 Normal free:6060kB min:352kB low:440kB high:528kB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:492kB isolated(anon):0ks lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 Normal: 23*4kB (U) 22*8kB (U) 24*16kB (U) 23*32kB (U) 23*64kB (U) 23*128kB (U) 1*256kB (U) 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 6060kB 123 total pagecache pages 2048 pages of RAM 1538 free pages 66 reserved pages 109 slab pages -46 pages shared 0 pages swap cached nommu: Allocation of length 221184 from process 67 (free) failed Normal per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 active_anon:0 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:0 active_file:0 inactive_file:0 isolated_file:0 unevictable:123 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:1515 slab_reclaimable:17 slab_unreclaimable:139 mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0 free_cma:0 Normal free:6060kB min:352kB low:440kB high:528kB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:492kB isolated(anon):0ks lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 Normal: 23*4kB (U) 22*8kB (U) 24*16kB (U) 23*32kB (U) 23*64kB (U) 23*128kB (U) 1*256kB (U) 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 6060kB 123 total pagecache pages Unable to allocate RAM for process text/data, errno 12 SEGV This problem happens because we allocate ordered page through __get_free_pages() in do_mmap_private() in some cases and we try to free individual pages rather than ordered page in free_page_series(). In this case, freeing pages whose refcount is not 0 won't be freed to the page allocator so memory leak happens. To fix the problem, this patch changes __get_free_pages() to alloc_pages_exact() since alloc_pages_exact() returns physically-contiguous pages but each pages are refcounted. Fixes: dbc8358c7237 ("mm/nommu: use alloc_pages_exact() rather than its own implementation").
