mm: switch mm->get_unmapped_area() to a flag
The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() during the initialization of the mm. Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag. Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior around inheriting the topdown-ness. Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes, but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect branches into a direct ones. The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1% improvement there on a retpoline config. In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could shrink the size of mm_struct.

drivers/char/mem: implement splice() for /dev/zero, /dev/full
This allows splicing zeroed pages into a pipe, and allows discarding pages from a pipe by splicing them to /dev/zero. Writing to /dev/zero should have the same effect as writing to /dev/null, and a "splice_write" implementation exists only for /dev/null. (The /dev/zero splice_read implementation could be optimized by pushing references to the global zero page to the pipe, but that's an optimization for another day.)

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

mips: provide unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() in asm/io.h
The unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function has no prototype on the mips architecture, which does not include asm-generic/io.h, so gcc warns about the __weak definition: drivers/char/mem.c:94:29: error: no previous prototype for 'unxlate_dev_mem_ptr' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] Since everyone else already gets the generic definition or has a custom one, there is not really much point in having a __weak version as well. Remove this one, and instead add a trivial macro to the mips header. Once we convert mips to use the asm-generic header, this can go away again.

mm/nommu: factor out check for NOMMU shared mappings into is_nommu_shared_mapping()
Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings". Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings. This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is actually means. Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead. This patch (of 3): We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED, !CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings that are an effective overlay of a file mapping. Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into is_nommu_shared_mapping() first. Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well (unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for VM_SHARED manually. No functional change intended.

random: restore O_NONBLOCK support
Prior to 5.6, when /dev/random was opened with O_NONBLOCK, it would
return -EAGAIN if there was no entropy. When the pools were unified in
5.6, this was lost. The post 5.6 behavior of blocking until the pool is
initialized, and ignoring O_NONBLOCK in the process, went unnoticed,
with no reports about the regression received for two and a half years.
However, eventually this indeed did break somebody's userspace.
So we restore the old behavior, by returning -EAGAIN if the pool is not
initialized. Unlike the old /dev/random, this can only occur during
early boot, after which it never blocks again.
In order to make this O_NONBLOCK behavior consistent with other
expectations, also respect users reading with preadv2(RWF_NOWAIT) and
similar.

updated for some developments over the last three years: we finally can
make /dev/urandom always secure, in light of the fact that our RNG is
now always seeded.

/dev/mem: nowait zero/null ops
Make read_iter_zero() to honor IOCB_NOWAIT, so /dev/zero can be advertised as FMODE_NOWAIT. It's useful for io_uring, which needs it to apply certain optimisations when doing I/O against the device. Set FMODE_NOWAIT for /dev/null as well, it never waits and therefore trivially meets the criteria.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

resource: Move devmem revoke code to resource framework
We want all iomem mmaps to consistently revoke ptes when the kernel takes over and CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is enabled. This includes the pci bar mmaps available through procfs and sysfs, which currently do not revoke mappings. To prepare for this, move the code from the /dev/kmem driver to kernel/resource.c. During review Jason spotted that barriers are used somewhat inconsistently. Fix that up while we shuffle this code, since it doesn't have an actual impact at runtime. Otherwise no semantic and behavioural changes intended, just code extraction and adjusting comments and names.

/dev/mem: Only set filp->f_mapping
When we care about pagecache maintenance, we need to make sure that both f_mapping and i_mapping point at the right mapping. But for iomem mappings we only care about the virtual/pte side of things, so f_mapping is enough. Also setting inode->i_mapping was confusing me as a driver maintainer, since in e.g. drivers/gpu we don't do that. Per Dan this seems to be copypasta from places which do care about pagecache consistency, but not needed. Hence remove it for slightly less confusion.

/dev/mem: Add missing memory barriers for devmem_inode
WRITE_ONCE() isn't the correct way to publish a pointer to a data
structure, since it doesn't include a write memory barrier. Therefore
other tasks may see that the pointer has been set but not see that the
pointed-to memory has finished being initialized yet. Instead a
primitive with "release" semantics is needed.
Use smp_store_release() for this.
The use of READ_ONCE() on the read side is still potentially correct if
there's no control dependency, i.e. if all memory being "published" is
transitively reachable via the pointer itself. But this pairing is
somewhat confusing and error-prone. So just upgrade the read side to
smp_load_acquire() so that it clearly pairs with smp_store_release().

Merge branch 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

/dev/mem: Bail out upon SIGKILL.
syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside read_mem() or write_mem() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. Reading from iomem areas of /dev/mem can be slow, depending on the hardware. While reading 2GB at one read() is legal, delaying termination of killed thread for minutes is bad. Thus, allow reading/writing /dev/mem and /dev/kmem to be preemptible and killable. [ 1335.912419][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134565632 [ 1335.943194][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134561536 [ 1335.978280][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134557440 [ 1336.011147][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134553344 [ 1336.041897][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134549248 Theoretically, reading/writing /dev/mem and /dev/kmem can become "interruptible". But this patch chose "killable". Future patch will make them "interruptible" so that we can revert to "killable" if some program regressed.

lockdown: Restrict /dev/{mem,kmem,port} when the kernel is locked down
Allowing users to read and write to core kernel memory makes it possible for the kernel to be subverted, avoiding module loading restrictions, and also to steal cryptographic information. Disallow /dev/mem and /dev/kmem from being opened this when the kernel has been locked down to prevent this. Also disallow /dev/port from being opened to prevent raw ioport access and thus DMA from being used to accomplish the same thing.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Char/Misc driver patches for 4.19-rc1

Anyway, major things here are: - new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level hardware bus - gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of the crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around for years, combined with some really hacky userspace implementations. This is only for GNSS receivers, but you have to start somewhere, and this is great to see. Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers, new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and existing drivers. Full details of everything is in the shortlog.

One thing /dev/mem access APIs should verify is that there's no way that excessively large pfn's can leak into the high bits of the page table entry. In particular, if people can use "very large physical page addresses" through /dev/mem to set the bits past bit 58 - SOFTW4 and permission key bits and NX bit, that could *really* confuse the kernel.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

drivers: char: mem: Fix wraparound check to allow mappings up to the end
A recent fix to /dev/mem prevents mappings from wrapping around the end
of physical address space. However, the check was written in a way that
also prevents a mapping reaching just up to the end of physical address
space, which may be a valid use case (especially on 32-bit systems).
This patch fixes it by checking the last mapped address (instead of the
first address behind that) for overflow.

drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()
/dev/mem currently allows mmap() mappings that wrap around the end of the physical address space, which should probably be illegal. It circumvents the existing STRICT_DEVMEM permission check because the loop immediately terminates (as the start address is already higher than the end address). On the x86_64 architecture it will then cause a panic (from the BUG(start >= end) in arch/x86/mm/pat.c:reserve_memtype()). This patch adds an explicit check to make sure offset + size will not wrap around in the physical address type.

mm: Tighten x86 /dev/mem with zeroing reads
Under CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, reading System RAM through /dev/mem is disallowed. However, on x86, the first 1MB was always allowed for BIOS and similar things, regardless of it actually being System RAM. It was possible for heap to end up getting allocated in low 1MB RAM, and then read by things like x86info or dd, which would trip hardened usercopy: usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffff880000090000 (dma-kmalloc-256) (4096 bytes) This changes the x86 exception for the low 1MB by reading back zeros for System RAM areas instead of blindly allowing them. More work is needed to extend this to mmap, but currently mmap doesn't go through usercopy, so hardened usercopy won't Oops the kernel.

drivers: char: mem: Fix thinkos in kmem address checks
When borrowing the pfn_valid() check from mmap_kmem(), somebody managed
to get physical and virtual addresses spectacularly muddled up, such
that we've ended up with checks for one being the other. Whilst this
does indeed prevent out-of-bounds accesses crashing, on most systems
it also prevents the more desirable use-case of working at all ever.
Check the *virtual* offset correctly for what it is. Furthermore, do
so in the right place - a read or write may span multiple pages, so a
single up-front check is insufficient. High memory accesses already
have a similar validity check just before the copy_to_user() call, so
just make the low memory path fully consistent with that.

drivers: char: mem: Check {read,write}_kmem() addresses
Arriving at read_kmem() with an offset representing a bogus kernel address (e.g. 0 from a simple "cat /dev/kmem") leads to copy_to_user faulting on the kernel-side read. x86_64 happens to get away with this since the optimised implementation uses "rep movs*", thus the user write (which is allowed to fault) and the kernel read are the same instruction, the kernel-side fault falls into the user-side fixup handler and the chain of events which transpires ends up returning an error as one might expect, even if it's an inappropriate -EFAULT. On other architectures, though, the read is not covered by the fixup entry for the write, and we get a big scary "Unable to hande kernel paging request..." dump. The more typical use-case of mmap_kmem() has always (within living memory at least) returned -EIO for addresses which don't satisfy pfn_valid(), so let's make that consistent across {read,write}_kem() too.

shmem: get_unmapped_area align huge page
Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at mmap time to decide the mapping address. It could be conditional on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making it unconditional. shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area (which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and config and executable layout). Lots of conditions, and in most cases it just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably. There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero. Though this only matters when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.

x86/mm/pat, /dev/mem: Remove superfluous error message
Currently it's possible for broken (or malicious) userspace to flood a kernel log indefinitely with messages a-la Program dmidecode tried to access /dev/mem between f0000->100000 because range_is_allowed() is case of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM being turned on dumps this information each and every time devmem_is_allowed() fails. Reportedly userspace that is able to trigger contignuous flow of these messages exists. It would be possible to rate limit this message, but that'd have a questionable value; the administrator wouldn't get information about all the failing accessess, so then the information would be both superfluous and incomplete at the same time :) Returning EPERM (which is what is actually happening) is enough indication for userspace what has happened; no need to log this particular error as some sort of special condition.
