2023-12-29mm/rmap: rename COMPOUND_MAPPED to ENTIRELY_MAPPEDDavid Hildenbrand1-1/+1
We removed all "bool compound" and RMAP_COMPOUND parameters. Let's remove the remaining "compound" terminology by making COMPOUND_MAPPED match the "folio->_entire_mapcount" terminology, renaming it to ENTIRELY_MAPPED. ENTIRELY_MAPPED is only used when the whole folio is mapped using a single page table entry (e.g., a single PMD mapping a PMD-sized THP). For now, we don't support mapping any THP bigger than that, so ENTIRELY_MAPPED only applies to PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP only.

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

2023-07-12mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMARick Edgecombe1-2/+4
The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite(). No functional change.

2023-06-20mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to failHugh Dickins1-6/+11
Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for __pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c. __pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table. __pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock, trying again if it changed. No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing. Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(), without actually taking the lock. This will be preferred to open uses of pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page) it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd gets changed racily afterwards. Update corresponding Documentation. Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet: they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier). But comment where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments. And only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled. Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.

This is based on an earlier blog post at people.kernel.org, it describes the concepts about page tables that were hardest for me to grasp when dealing with them for the first time, such as the prevalent three-letter acronyms pfn, pgd, p4d, pud, pmd and pte. I don't know if this is what people want, but it's what I would have wanted. The wording, introduction, choice of initial subjects and choice of style is mine. I discussed at one point with Mike Rapoport to bring this into the kernel documentation, so here is a small proposal.

2023-05-29mm: page_table_check: Make it dependent on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAMRuihan Li1-0/+19
Without EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, users are allowed to map arbitrary physical memory regions into the userspace via /dev/mem. At the same time, pages may change their properties (e.g., from anonymous pages to named pages) while they are still being mapped in the userspace, leading to "corruption" detected by the page table check. To avoid these false positives, this patch makes PAGE_TABLE_CHECK depends on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM. This dependency is understandable because PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is a hardening technique but /dev/mem without STRICT_DEVMEM (i.e., !EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM) is itself a security problem. Even with EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, I/O pages may be still allowed to be mapped via /dev/mem. However, these pages are always considered as named pages, so they won't break the logic used in the page table check.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of switching from a user process to a kernel thread. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj Raghav. - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky. - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the alteration of memcg userspace tunables. - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig: - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page() - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap backing. Use `mount -o noswap'. - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing some scalability benefits. - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its operations O(1) rather than O(n). - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd, permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes. - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were caused by its unintuitive meaning. - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature, which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte. - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge(): cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test harness. - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes. - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c. - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more. - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases. - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge(). - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code. - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults. - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to per-VMA locking. - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads. - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig logic. - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a chunk of memory if zswap is not being used. - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics flushing. - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged, userfaultfd and shmem. - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related code paths. - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's testing of our pte state changing. - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it. - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd selftests. - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim accounting. - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the selftests/mm code. - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned pages. - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time. - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a per-process and per-cgroup basis. * tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (369 commits) mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file() sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area() hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map() maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area() mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs mm: add new api to enable ksm per process mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma() lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper ...

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there is still a fair amount going on, including: - Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under Documentation/arch This makes the structure match the source directory and helps to clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation directory a bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and most of the less-active architectures there. The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5, with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees. - Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian translation - A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted - A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten Plus the usual set of updates and fixes" * tag 'docs-6.4' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (47 commits) media: Adjust column width for pdfdocs media: Fix building pdfdocs docs: clk: add documentation to log which clocks have been disabled docs: trace: Fix typo in ftrace.rst Documentation/process: always CC responsible lists docs: kmemleak: adjust to config renaming ELF: document some de-facto PT_* ABI quirks Documentation: arm: remove stih415/stih416 related entries docs: turn off "smart quotes" in the HTML build Documentation: firmware: Clarify firmware path usage docs/mm: Physical Memory: Fix grammar Documentation: Add document for false sharing dma-api-howto: typo fix docs: move m68k architecture documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move parisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move ia64 architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: Move arc architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: move nios2 documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move openrisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move superh documentation under Documentation/arch/ ...
