10 daysmm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAsLorenzo Stoakes
Historically we've made it a uAPI requirement that mremap() may only operate on a single VMA at a time. For instances where VMAs need to be resized, this makes sense, as it becomes very difficult to determine what a user actually wants should they indicate a desire to expand or shrink the size of multiple VMAs (truncate? Adjust sizes individually? Some other strategy?). However, in instances where a user is moving VMAs, it is restrictive to disallow this. This is especially the case when anonymous mapping remap may or may not be mergeable depending on whether VMAs have or have not been faulted due to anon_vma assignment and folio index alignment with vma->vm_pgoff. Often this can result in surprising impact where a moved region is faulted, then moved back and a user fails to observe a merge from otherwise compatible, adjacent VMAs. This change allows such cases to work without the user having to be cognizant of whether a prior mremap() move or other VMA operations has resulted in VMA fragmentation. We only permit this for mremap() operations that do NOT change the size of the VMA and DO specify MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED. Should no VMA exist in the range, -EFAULT is returned as usual. If a VMA move spans a single VMA - then there is no functional change. Otherwise, we place additional requirements upon VMAs: * They must not have a userfaultfd context associated with them - this requires dropping the lock to notify users, and we want to perform the operation with the mmap write lock held throughout. * If file-backed, they cannot have a custom get_unmapped_area handler - this might result in MREMAP_FIXED not being honoured, which could result in unexpected positioning of VMAs in the moved region. There may be gaps in the range of VMAs that are moved: X Y X Y <---> <-> <---> <-> |-------| |-----| |-----| |-------| |-----| |-----| | A | | B | | C | ---> | A' | | B' | | C' | |-------| |-----| |-----| |-------| |-----| |-----| addr new_addr The move will preserve the gaps between each VMA. Note that any failures encountered will result in a partial move. Since an mremap() can fail at any time, this might result in only some of the VMAs being moved. Note that failures are very rare and typically require an out of a memory condition or a mapping limit condition to be hit, assuming the VMAs being moved are valid. We don't try to assess ahead of time whether VMAs are valid according to the multi VMA rules, as it would be rather unusual for a user to mix uffd-enabled VMAs and/or VMAs which map unusual driver mappings that specify custom get_unmapped_area() handlers in an aggregate operation. So we optimise for the far, far more likely case of the operation being entirely permissible. In the case of the move of a single VMA, the above conditions are permitted. This makes the behaviour identical for a single VMA as before.

10 daysmm/mremap: clean up mlock populate behaviourLorenzo Stoakes
When an mlock()'d VMA is expanded, we need to populate the expanded region to maintain the contract that all mlock()'d memory is present (albeit - with some period after mmap unlock where the expanded part of the mapping remains unfaulted). The current implementation is very unclear, so make it absolutely explicit under what circumstances we do this.

10 daysmm/mremap: check remap conditions earlierLorenzo Stoakes
When we expand or move a VMA, this requires a number of additional checks to be performed. Make it really obvious under what circumstances these checks must be performed and aggregate all the checks in one place by invoking this in check_prep_vma(). We have to adjust the checks to account for shrink + move operations by checking new_len <= old_len rather than new_len == old_len. No functional change intended.

10 daysmm/mremap: use an explicit uffd failure path for mremapLorenzo Stoakes
Right now it appears that the code is relying upon the returned destination address having bits outside PAGE_MASK to indicate whether an error value is specified, and decrementing the increased refcount on the uffd ctx if so. This is not a safe means of determining an error value, so instead, be specific. It makes far more sense to do so in a dedicated error path, so add mremap_userfaultfd_fail() for this purpose and use this when an error arises. A vm_userfaultfd_ctx is not established until we are at the point where mremap_userfaultfd_prep() is invoked in copy_vma_and_data(), so this is a no-op until this happens. That is - uffd remap notification only occurs if the VMA is actually moved - at which point a UFFD_EVENT_REMAP event is raised. No errors can occur after this point currently, though it's certainly not guaranteed this will always remain the case, and we mustn't rely on this. However, the reason for needing to handle this case is that, when an error arises on a VMA move at the point of adjusting page tables, we revert this operation, and propagate the error. At this point, it is not correct to raise a uffd remap event, and we must handle it. This refactoring makes it abundantly clear what we are doing. We assume vrm->new_addr is always valid, which a prior change made the case even for mremap() invocations which don't move the VMA, however given no uffd context would be set up in this case it's immaterial to this change anyway. No functional change intended.

10 daysmm/mremap: cleanup post-processing stage of mremapLorenzo Stoakes
Separate out the uffd bits so it clear's what's happening. Don't bother setting vrm->mmap_locked after unlocking, because after this we are done anyway. The only time we drop the mmap lock is on VMA shrink, at which point vrm->new_len will be < vrm->old_len and the operation will not be performed anyway, so move this code out of the if (vrm->mmap_locked) block. All addresses returned by mremap() are page-aligned, so the offset_in_page() check on ret seems only to be incorrectly trying to detect whether an error occurred - explicitly check for this. No functional change intended.

Rather than lumping everything together in do_mremap(), add a new helper function, check_prep_vma(), to do the work relating to each VMA. This further lays groundwork for subsequent patches which will allow for batched VMA mremap().

10 daysmm/mremap: refactor initial parameter sanity checksLorenzo Stoakes
We are currently checking some things later, and some things immediately. Aggregate the checks and avoid ones that need not be made. Simplify things by aligning lengths immediately. Defer setting the delta parameter until later, which removes some duplicate code in the hugetlb case. We can safely perform the checks moved from mremap_to() to check_mremap_params() because: * If we set a new address via vrm_set_new_addr(), then this is guaranteed to not overlap nor to position the new VMA past TASK_SIZE, so there's no need to check these later. * We can simply page align lengths immediately. We do not need to check for overlap nor TASK_SIZE sanity after hugetlb alignment as this asserts addresses are huge-aligned, then huge-aligns lengths, rounding down. This means any existing overlap would have already been caught. Moving things around like this lays the groundwork for subsequent changes to permit operations on batches of VMAs. No functional change intended.

10 daysmm/mremap: perform some simple cleanupsLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs", v4. Historically we've made it a uAPI requirement that mremap() may only operate on a single VMA at a time. For instances where VMAs need to be resized, this makes sense, as it becomes very difficult to determine what a user actually wants should they indicate a desire to expand or shrink the size of multiple VMAs (truncate?

Often this can result in surprising impact where a moved region is faulted, then moved back and a user fails to observe a merge from otherwise compatible, adjacent VMAs. This change allows such cases to work without the user having to be cognizant of whether a prior mremap() move or other VMA operations has resulted in VMA fragmentation. In order to do this, this series performs a large amount of refactoring, most pertinently - grouping sanity checks together, separately those that check input parameters and those relating to VMAs. we also simplify the post-mmap lock drop processing for uffd and mlock()'d VMAs. With this done, we can then fairly straightforwardly implement this functionality. This works exclusively for mremap() invocations which specify MREMAP_FIXED. It is not compatible with VMAs which use userfaultfd, as the notification of the userland fault handler would require us to drop the mmap lock. It is also not compatible with file-backed mappings with customised get_unmapped_area() handlers as these may not honour MREMAP_FIXED. The input and output addresses ranges must not overlap. We carefully account for moves which would result in VMA iterator invalidation. While there can be gaps between VMAs in the input range, there can be no gap before the first VMA in the range. This patch (of 10): We const-ify the vrm flags parameter to indicate this will never change. We rename resize_is_valid() to remap_is_valid(), as this function does not only apply to cases where we resize, so it's simply confusing to refer to that here. We remove the BUG() from mremap_at(), as we should not BUG() unless we are certain it'll result in system instability. We rename vrm_charge() to vrm_calc_charge() to make it clear this simply calculates the charged number of pages rather than actually adjusting any state. We update the comment for vrm_implies_new_addr() to explain that MREMAP_DONTUNMAP does not require a set address, but will always be moved. Additionally consistently use 'res' rather than 'ret' for result values. No functional change intended.

2025-07-19mm: split folio_pte_batch() into folio_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch_flags()David Hildenbrand
Many users (including upcoming ones) don't really need the flags etc, and can live with the possible overhead of a function call. So let's provide a basic, non-inlined folio_pte_batch(), to avoid code bloat while still providing a variant that optimizes out all flag checks at runtime. folio_pte_batch_flags() will get inlined into folio_pte_batch(), optimizing out any conditionals that depend on input flags. folio_pte_batch() will behave like folio_pte_batch_flags() when no flags are specified. It's okay to add new users of folio_pte_batch_flags(), but using folio_pte_batch() if applicable is preferred. So, before this change, folio_pte_batch() was inlined into the C file optimized by propagating constants within the resulting object file. With this change, we now also have a folio_pte_batch() that is optimized by propagating all constants. But instead of having one instance per object file, we have a single shared one. In zap_present_ptes(), where we care about performance, the compiler already seem to generate a call to a common inlined folio_pte_batch() variant, shared with fork() code. So calling the new non-inlined variant should not make a difference. While at it, drop the "addr" parameter that is unused.

2025-07-19mm: convert FPB_IGNORE_* into FPB_RESPECT_*David Hildenbrand
Patch series "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements", v2. Ever since we added folio_pte_batch() for fork() + munmap() purposes, a lot more users appeared (and more are being proposed), and more functionality was added. Most of the users only need basic functionality, and could benefit from a non-inlined version. So let's clean up folio_pte_batch() and split it into a basic folio_pte_batch() (no flags) and a more advanced folio_pte_batch_ext(). Using either variant will now look much cleaner. This series will likely conflict with some changes in some (old+new) folio_pte_batch() users, but conflicts should be trivial to resolve. This patch (of 4): Respecting these PTE bits is the exception, so let's invert the meaning. With this change, most callers don't have to pass any flags. This is a preparation for splitting folio_pte_batch() into a non-inlined variant that doesn't consume any flags. Long-term, we want folio_pte_batch() to probably ignore most common PTE bits (e.g., write/dirty/young/soft-dirty) that are not relevant for most page table walkers: uffd-wp and protnone might be bits to consider in the future. Only walkers that care about them can opt-in to respect them. No functional change intended.

2025-07-09mm: update core kernel code to use vm_flags_t consistentlyLorenzo Stoakes
The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this. While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type. Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes. To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit. The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code as far as is needed. We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

2025-07-09mm: optimize mremap() by PTE batchingDev Jain
Use folio_pte_batch() to optimize move_ptes(). On arm64, if the ptes are painted with the contig bit, then ptep_get() will iterate through all 16 entries to collect a/d bits. Hence this optimization will result in a 16x reduction in the number of ptep_get() calls. Next, ptep_get_and_clear() will eventually call contpte_try_unfold() on every contig block, thus flushing the TLB for the complete large folio range. Instead, use get_and_clear_full_ptes() so as to elide TLBIs on each contig block, and only do them on the starting and ending contig block. For split folios, there will be no pte batching; nr_ptes will be 1. For pagetable splitting, the ptes will still point to the same large folio; for arm64, this results in the optimization described above, and for other arches (including the general case), a minor improvement is expected due to a reduction in the number of function calls.

2025-07-09mm: call pointers to ptes as ptepDev Jain
Patch series "Optimize mremap() for large folios", v4. Currently move_ptes() iterates through ptes one by one. If the underlying folio mapped by the ptes is large, we can process those ptes in a batch using folio_pte_batch(), thus clearing and setting the PTEs in one go. For arm64 specifically, this results in a 16x reduction in the number of ptep_get() calls (since on a contig block, ptep_get() on arm64 will iterate through all 16 entries to collect a/d bits), and we also elide extra TLBIs through get_and_clear_full_ptes, replacing ptep_get_and_clear. Mapping 1M of memory with 64K folios, memsetting it, remapping it to src + 1M, and munmapping it 10,000 times, the average execution time reduces from 1.9 to 1.2 seconds, giving a 37% performance optimization, on Apple M3 (arm64). No regression is observed for small folios.

In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support".

2025-05-25mm: fix copy_vma() error handling for hugetlb mappingsRicardo Cañuelo Navarro
If, during a mremap() operation for a hugetlb-backed memory mapping, copy_vma() fails after the source vma has been duplicated and opened (ie. vma_link() fails), the error is handled by closing the new vma. This updates the hugetlbfs reservation counter of the reservation map which at this point is referenced by both the source vma and the new copy. As a result, once the new vma has been freed and copy_vma() returns, the reservation counter for the source vma will be incorrect. This patch addresses this corner case by clearing the hugetlb private page reservation reference for the new vma and decrementing the reference before closing the vma, so that vma_close() won't update the reservation counter. This is also what copy_vma_and_data() does with the source vma if copy_vma() succeeds, so a helper function has been added to do the fixup in both functions. The issue was reported by a private syzbot instance and can be reproduced using the C reproducer in [1]. It's also a possible duplicate of public syzbot report [2].

2025-05-22mm: convert VM_PFNMAP tracking to pfnmap_track() + pfnmap_untrack()David Hildenbrand
Let's use our new interface. In remap_pfn_range(), we'll now decide whether we have to track (full VMA covered) or only lookup the cachemode (partial VMA covered). Remember what we have to untrack by linking it from the VMA. When duplicating VMAs (e.g., splitting, mremap, fork), we'll handle it similar to anon VMA names, and use a kref to share the tracking. Once the last VMA un-refs our tracking data, we'll do the untracking, which simplifies things a lot and should sort our various issues we saw recently, for example, when partially unmapping/zapping a tracked VMA. This change implies that we'll keep tracking the original PFN range even after splitting + partially unmapping it: not too bad, because it was not working reliably before. The only thing that kind-of worked before was shrinking such a mapping using mremap(): we managed to adjust the reservation in a hacky way, now we won't adjust the reservation but leave it around until all involved VMAs are gone. If that ever turns out to be an issue, we could hook into VM splitting code and split the tracking; however, that adds complexity that might not be required, so we'll keep it simple for now.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: thread state through move page table operationLorenzo Stoakes
Finish refactoring the page table logic by threading the PMC state throughout the operation, allowing us to control the operation as we go. Additionally, update the old_addr, new_addr fields in move_page_tables() as we progress through the process making use of the fact we have this state object now to track this. With these changes made, not only is the code far more readable, but we can finally transmit state throughout the entire operation, which lays the groundwork for sensibly making changes in future to how the mremap() operation is performed. Additionally take the opportunity to refactor the means of determining the progress of the operation, abstracting this to pmc_progress() and simplifying the logic to make it clearer what's going on.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: refactor move_page_tables(), abstracting stateLorenzo Stoakes
A lot of state is threaded throughout the page table moving logic within the mremap code, including boolean values which control behaviour specifically in regard to whether rmap locks need be held over the operation and whether the VMA belongs to a temporary stack being moved by move_arg_pages() (and consequently, relocate_vma_down()). As we already transmit state throughout this operation, it is neater and more readable to maintain a small state object. We do so in the form of pagetable_move_control. In addition, this allows us to update parameters within the state as we manipulate things, for instance with regard to the page table realignment logic. In future I want to add additional functionality to the page table logic, so this is an additional motivation for making it easier to do so. This patch changes move_page_tables() to accept a pointer to a pagetable_move_control struct, and performs changes at this level only. Further page table logic will be updated in a subsequent patch. We additionally also take the opportunity to add significant comments describing the address realignment logic to make it abundantly clear what is going on in this code.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: complete refactor of move_vma()Lorenzo Stoakes
We invoke ksm_madvise() with an intentionally dummy flags field, so no need to pass around. Additionally, the code tries to be 'clever' with account_start, account_end, using these to both check that vma->vm_start != 0 and that we ought to account the newly split portion of VMA post-move, either before or after it. We need to do this because we intentionally removed VM_ACCOUNT on the VMA prior to unmapping, so we don't erroneously unaccount memory (we have already calculated the correct amount to account and accounted it, any subsequent subtraction will be incorrect). This patch significantly expands the comment (from 2002!) about 'concealing' the flag to make it abundantly clear what's going on, as well as adding and expanding a number of other comments also. We can remove account_start, account_end by instead tracking when we account (i.e. vma->vm_flags has the VM_ACCOUNT flag set, and this is not an MREMAP_DONTUNMAP operation), and figuring out when to reinstate the VM_ACCOUNT flag on prior/subsequent VMAs separately.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: initial refactor of move_vma()Lorenzo Stoakes
Update move_vma() to use the threaded VRM object, de-duplicate code and separate into smaller functions to aid readability and debug-ability. This in turn allows further simplification of expand_vma() as we can simply thread VRM through the function. We also take the opportunity to abstract the account charging page count into the VRM in order that we can correctly thread this through the operation. We additionally do the same for tracking mm statistics - exec_vm, stack_vm, data_vm, and locked_vm. As part of this change, we slightly modify when locked pages statistics are counted for in mm_struct statistics. However this should cause no issues, as there is no chance of underflow, nor will any rlimit failures occur as a result. This is an intermediate step before a further refactoring of move_vma() in order to aid review.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: introduce and use vma_remap_struct threaded stateLorenzo Stoakes
A number of mremap() calls both pass around and modify a large number of parameters, making the code less readable and often repeatedly having to determine things such as VMA, size delta, and more. Avoid this by using the common pattern of passing a state object through the operation, updating it as we go. We introduce the vma_remap_struct or 'VRM' for this purpose. This also gives us the ability to accumulate further state through the operation that would otherwise require awkward and error-prone pointer passing. We can also now trivially define helper functions that operate on a VRM object. This pattern has proven itself to be very powerful when implemented for VMA merge, VMA unmapping and memory mapping operations, so it is battle-tested and functional. We both introduce the data structure and use it, introducing helper functions as needed to make things readable, we move some state such as mmap lock and mlock() status to the VRM, we introduce a means of classifying the type of mremap() operation and de-duplicate the get_unmapped_area() lookup. We also neatly thread userfaultfd state throughout the operation. Note that there is further refactoring to be done, chiefly adjust move_vma() to accept a VRM parameter. We defer this as there is pre-requisite work required to be able to do so which we will do in a subsequent patch.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: refactor mremap() system call implementationLorenzo Stoakes
Place checks into a separate function so the mremap() system call is less egregiously long, remove unnecessary mremap_to() offset_in_page() check and just check that earlier so we keep all such basic checks together. Separate out the VMA in-place expansion, hugetlb and expand/move logic into separate, readable functions. De-duplicate code where possible, add comments and ensure that all error handling explicitly specifies the error at the point of it occurring rather than setting a prefixed error value and implicitly setting (which is bug prone). This lays the groundwork for subsequent patches further simplifying and extending the mremap() implementation.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: correctly handle partial mremap() of VMA starting at 0Lorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug", v3. The existing mremap() logic has grown organically over a very long period of time, resulting in code that is in many parts, very difficult to follow and full of subtleties and sources of confusion. In addition, it is difficult to thread state through the operation correctly, as function arguments have expanded, some parameters are expected to be temporarily altered during the operation, others are intended to remain static and some can be overridden. This series completely refactors the mremap implementation, sensibly separating functions, adding comments to explain the more subtle aspects of the implementation and making use of small structs to thread state through everything. The reason for doing so is to lay the groundwork for planned future changes to the mremap logic, changes which require the ability to easily pass around state. Additionally, it would be unhelpful to add yet more logic to code that is already difficult to follow without first refactoring it like this. The first patch in this series additionally fixes a bug when a VMA with start address zero is partially remapped. Tested on real hardware under heavy workload and all self tests are passing. This patch (of 3): Consider the case of a partial mremap() (that results in a VMA split) of an accountable VMA (i.e. which has the VM_ACCOUNT flag set) whose start address is zero, with the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag specified and a scenario where a move does in fact occur: addr end | | v v |-------------| | vma | |-------------| 0 This move is affected by unmapping the range [addr, end). In order to prevent an incorrect decrement of accounted memory which has already been determined, the mremap() code in move_vma() clears VM_ACCOUNT from the VMA prior to doing so, before reestablishing it in each of the VMAs post-split: addr end | | v v |---| |---| | A | | B | |---| |---| Commit 6b73cff239e5 ("mm: change munmap splitting order and move_vma()") changed this logic such as to determine whether there is a need to do so by establishing account_start and account_end and, in the instance where such an operation is required, assigning them to vma->vm_start and vma->vm_end. Later the code checks if the operation is required for 'A' referenced above thusly: if (account_start) { ... } However, if the VMA described above has vma->vm_start == 0, which is now assigned to account_start, this branch will not be executed. As a result, the VMA 'A' above will remain stripped of its VM_ACCOUNT flag, incorrectly. The fix is to simply convert these variables to booleans and set them as required.

2025-01-12mm: clear uffd-wp PTE/PMD state on mremap()Ryan Roberts
When mremap()ing a memory region previously registered with userfaultfd as write-protected but without UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_REMAP, an inconsistency in flag clearing leads to a mismatch between the vma flags (which have uffd-wp cleared) and the pte/pmd flags (which do not have uffd-wp cleared). This mismatch causes a subsequent mprotect(PROT_WRITE) to trigger a warning in page_table_check_pte_flags() due to setting the pte to writable while uffd-wp is still set. Fix this by always explicitly clearing the uffd-wp pte/pmd flags on any such mremap() so that the values are consistent with the existing clearing of VM_UFFD_WP. Be careful to clear the logical flag regardless of its physical form; a PTE bit, a swap PTE bit, or a PTE marker. Cover PTE, huge PMD and hugetlb paths.

2024-11-14mm/mremap: fix address wraparound in move_page_tables()Jann Horn
On 32-bit platforms, it is possible for the expression `len + old_addr < old_end` to be false-positive if `len + old_addr` wraps around. `old_addr` is the cursor in the old range up to which page table entries have been moved; so if the operation succeeded, `old_addr` is the *end* of the old region, and adding `len` to it can wrap. The overflow causes mremap() to mistakenly believe that PTEs have been copied; the consequence is that mremap() bails out, but doesn't move the PTEs back before the new VMA is unmapped, causing anonymous pages in the region to be lost. So basically if userspace tries to mremap() a private-anon region and hits this bug, mremap() will return an error and the private-anon region's contents appear to have been zeroed. The idea of this check is that `old_end - len` is the original start address, and writing the check that way also makes it easier to read; so fix the check by rearranging the comparison accordingly. (An alternate fix would be to refactor this function by introducing an "orig_old_start" variable or such.)

This patch set removes the extra vma tree walk and further cleans up mremap_to(). This patch (of 2): vma_to_resize() is used in two locations to find and validate the vma for the mremap location. One of the two locations already has the vma, which is then re-found to validate the same vma. This code can be simplified by moving the vma_lookup() from vma_to_resize() to mremap_to() and changing the return type to an int error. Since the function now just validates the vma, the function is renamed to resize_is_valid() to better reflect what it is doing. This commit also adds documentation about the function.

Now new_pte is none, so hpage_collapse_scan_file() path can not find this by traversing file->f_mapping, so there is no concurrency with retract_page_tables(). In addition, we already hold the exclusive mmap_lock, so this new_pte page is stable, so there is no need to get pmdval and do pmd_same() check.

2024-10-17mm/mremap: fix move_normal_pmd/retract_page_tables raceJann Horn
In mremap(), move_page_tables() looks at the type of the PMD entry and the specified address range to figure out by which method the next chunk of page table entries should be moved. At that point, the mmap_lock is held in write mode, but no rmap locks are held yet. For PMD entries that point to page tables and are fully covered by the source address range, move_pgt_entry(NORMAL_PMD, ...) is called, which first takes rmap locks, then does move_normal_pmd(). move_normal_pmd() takes the necessary page table locks at source and destination, then moves an entire page table from the source to the destination. The problem is: The rmap locks, which protect against concurrent page table removal by retract_page_tables() in the THP code, are only taken after the PMD entry has been read and it has been decided how to move it. So we can race as follows (with two processes that have mappings of the same tmpfs file that is stored on a tmpfs mount with huge=advise); note that process A accesses page tables through the MM while process B does it through the file rmap: process A process B ========= ========= mremap mremap_to move_vma move_page_tables get_old_pmd alloc_new_pmd *** PREEMPT *** madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) do_madvise madvise_walk_vmas madvise_vma_behavior madvise_collapse hpage_collapse_scan_file collapse_file retract_page_tables i_mmap_lock_read(mapping) pmdp_collapse_flush i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) move_pgt_entry(NORMAL_PMD, ...) take_rmap_locks move_normal_pmd drop_rmap_locks When this happens, move_normal_pmd() can end up creating bogus PMD entries in the line `pmd_populate(mm, new_pmd, pmd_pgtable(pmd))`. The effect depends on arch-specific and machine-specific details; on x86, you can end up with physical page 0 mapped as a page table, which is likely exploitable for user->kernel privilege escalation. Fix the race by letting process B recheck that the PMD still points to a page table after the rmap locks have been taken. Otherwise, we bail and let the caller fall back to the PTE-level copying path, which will then bail immediately at the pmd_none() check. Bug reachability: Reaching this bug requires that you can create shmem/file THP mappings - anonymous THP uses different code that doesn't zap stuff under rmap locks. File THP is gated on an experimental config flag (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS), so on normal distro kernels you need shmem THP to hit this bug. As far as I know, getting shmem THP normally requires that you can mount your own tmpfs with the right mount flags, which would require creating your own user+mount namespace; though I don't know if some distros maybe enable shmem THP by default or something like that. Bug impact: This issue can likely be used for user->kernel privilege escalation when it is reachable.

The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature: int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags) addr/len: memory range. flags: reserved. mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range. 1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size, via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes. 2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location, via mremap(). 3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED). 4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA. 5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect(). 6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a memset(0) for anonymous memory. Following input during RFC are incooperated into this patch: Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the destructive madvise operations. Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope. Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization. Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD. Finally, the idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger's work in Chrome V8 CFI.

2023-10-18mm: abstract VMA merge and extend into vma_merge_extend() helperLorenzo Stoakes
mremap uses vma_merge() in the case where a VMA needs to be extended. This can be significantly simplified and abstracted. This makes it far easier to understand what the actual function is doing, avoids future mistakes in use of the confusing vma_merge() function and importantly allows us to make future changes to how vma_merge() is implemented by knowing explicitly which merge cases each invocation uses. Note that in the mremap() extend case, we perform this merge only when old_len == vma->vm_end - addr. The extension_start, i.e. the start of the extended portion of the VMA is equal to addr + old_len, i.e. vma->vm_end. With this refactoring, vma_merge() is no longer required anywhere except mm/mmap.c, so mark it static.

2023-10-04mm/mremap: allow moves within the same VMA for stack movesJoel Fernandes (Google)
For the stack move happening in shift_arg_pages(), the move is happening within the same VMA which spans the old and new ranges. In case the aligned address happens to fall within that VMA, allow such moves and don't abort the mremap alignment optimization. In the regular non-stack mremap case, we cannot allow any such moves as will end up destroying some part of the mapping (either the source of the move, or part of the existing mapping). So just avoid it for stack moves.

2023-10-04mm/mremap: optimize the start addresses in move_page_tables()Joel Fernandes (Google)
Patch series "Optimize mremap during mutual alignment within PMD", v6. This patchset optimizes the start addresses in move_page_tables() and tests the changes. It addresses a warning [1] that occurs due to a downward, overlapping move on a mutually-aligned offset within a PMD during exec. By initiating the copy process at the PMD level when such alignment is present, we can prevent this warning and speed up the copying process at the same time. Linus Torvalds suggested this idea. Check the individual patches for more details. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZB2GTBD%2FLWTrkOiO@dhcp22.suse.cz/ This patch (of 7): Recently, we see reports [1] of a warning that triggers due to move_page_tables() doing a downward and overlapping move on a mutually-aligned offset within a PMD. By mutual alignment, I mean the source and destination addresses of the mremap are at the same offset within a PMD. This mutual alignment along with the fact that the move is downward is sufficient to cause a warning related to having an allocated PMD that does not have PTEs in it. This warning will only trigger when there is mutual alignment in the move operation. A solution, as suggested by Linus Torvalds [2], is to initiate the copy process at the PMD level whenever such alignment is present. Implementing this approach will not only prevent the warning from being triggered, but it will also optimize the operation as this method should enhance the speed of the copy process whenever there's a possibility to start copying at the PMD level. Some more points: a. The optimization can be done only when both the source and destination of the mremap do not have anything mapped below it up to a PMD boundary. I add support to detect that. b. #1 is not a problem for the call to move_page_tables() from exec.c as nothing is expected to be mapped below the source. However, for non-overlapping mutually aligned moves as triggered by mremap(2), I added support for checking such cases. c. I currently only optimize for PMD moves, in the future I/we can build on this work and do PUD moves as well if there is a need for this. But I want to take it one step at a time. d. We need to be careful about mremap of ranges within the VMA itself. For this purpose, I added checks to determine if the address after alignment falls within its VMA itself.

2023-09-16vm: fix move_vma() memory accounting being offLinus Torvalds
Commit 408579cd627a ("mm: Update do_vmi_align_munmap() return semantics") seems to have updated one of the callers of do_vmi_munmap() incorrectly: it used to check for the error case (which didn't change: negative means error). That commit changed the check to the success case (which did change: before that commit, 0 was success, and 1 was "success and lock downgraded". After the change, it's always 0 for success, and the lock will have been released if requested). This didn't change any actual VM behavior _except_ for memory accounting when 'VM_ACCOUNT' was set on the vma. Which made the wrong return value test fairly subtle, since everything continues to work. Or rather - it continues to work but the "Committed memory" accounting goes all wonky (Committed_AS value in /proc/meminfo), and depending on settings that then causes problems much much later as the VM relies on bogus statistics for its heuristics. Revert that one line of the change back to the original logic.

2023-07-01mm: Update do_vmi_align_munmap() return semanticsLiam R. Howlett
Since do_vmi_align_munmap() will always honor the downgrade request on the success, the callers no longer have to deal with confusing return codes. Since all callers that request downgrade actually want the lock to be dropped, change the downgrade to an unlock request. Note that the lock still needs to be held in read mode during the page table clean up to avoid races with a map request. Update do_vmi_align_munmap() to return 0 for success. Clean up the callers and comments to always expect the unlock to be honored on the success path. The error path will always leave the lock untouched. As part of the cleanup, the wrapper function do_vmi_munmap() and callers to the wrapper are also updated.

2023-06-19mm: ptep_get() conversionRyan Roberts
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.
