- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which
are included in this merge do the following:
- Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the
series
"maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers"
"Some cleanups of maple tree"
- In the series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem"
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
- Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few
fixes) in the patch series
"Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()"
"Make folio_start_writeback return void"
"Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages"
"Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio"
"Finish two folio conversions"
"More swap folio conversions"
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
"mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault"
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the
series "tweak kmemleak report format".
- In the series "stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces" Andrey
Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause
eviction of no longer needed stack traces.
- Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series "mm:
page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations".
- Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample
code for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the
series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners".
- Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
"maple_tree: iterator state changes".
- Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the
series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
writeback".
- DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in
the series
"mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS"
"selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests"
"mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8"
- Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series
"mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds".
- In the series "Multi-size THP for anonymous memory" Ryan Roberts
has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
anonymous page faults.
- Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
work against eh buffer_head code int he series "More buffer_head
cleanups".
- Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
"userfaultfd move option". UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.
- Stefan Roesch has developed a "KSM Advisor", in the series
"mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor". This is a governor which tunes KSM's
scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries
Align larger anonymous memory mappings on THP boundaries by going through thp_get_unmapped_area if THPs are enabled for the current process. With this patch, larger anonymous mappings are now THP aligned. When a malloc library allocates a 2MB or larger arena, that arena can now be mapped with THPs right from the start, which can result in better TLB hit rates and execution time.

fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()
In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple tree, so it is efficient. The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element, this process is also O(n). Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node, pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n). As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap() fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds, corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% [1] https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/tree/master Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-11-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Peng Zhang <zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com> Suggested-by: Liam R.

mm: perform the mapping_map_writable() check after call_mmap()
In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap() handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check before we had the opportunity to avoid it. This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases. This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed. There is a delicate situation with cleanup paths assuming that a writable mapping must have occurred in circumstances where it may now not have. In order to ensure we do not accidentally mark a writable file unwritable by mistake, we explicitly track whether we have a writable mapping and unmap only if we do. [lstoakes@gmail.com: do not set writable_file_mapping in inappropriate case] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c9eb4cc6-7db4-4c2b-838d-43a0b319a4f0@lucifer.local Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/55e413d20678a1bb4c7cce889062bbb07b0df892.1697116581.git.lstoakes@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable
Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4.
The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following
about F_SEAL_WRITE:-
Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.
With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the
kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with
F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate.
This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping
to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness.
This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug
report [2].
This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the
kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and
more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable.
It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE
is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any
point be written to.
If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as
documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out
this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can
therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE.
We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check
for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work
around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful
consideration of error paths.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion!
[1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/
[2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238
This patch (of 3):
There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are
writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the
case.
Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
field to explicitly test for this by introducing
[vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions.
This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees
that the VMA cannot be written to.

mm: abstract VMA merge and extend into vma_merge_extend() helper
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.

mm: abstract merge for new VMAs into vma_merge_new_vma()
Only in mmap_region() and copy_vma() do we attempt to merge VMAs which occupy entirely new regions of virtual memory. We can abstract this logic and make the intent of this invocations of it completely explicit, rather than invoking vma_merge() with an inscrutable wall of parameters. This also paves the way for a simplification of the core vma_merge() implementation, as we seek to make it entirely an implementation detail. The VMA merge call in mmap_region() occurs only for file-backed mappings, where each of the parameters previously specified as NULL are defaulted to NULL in vma_init() (called by vm_area_alloc()). This matches the previous behaviour of specifying NULL for a number of fields, however note that prior to this call we pass the VMA to the file system driver via call_mmap(), which may in theory adjust fields that we pass in to vma_merge_new_vma(). Therefore we actually resolve an oversight here by allowing for the fact that the driver may have done this.

mm: make vma_merge() and split_vma() internal
Now the common pattern of - attempting a merge via vma_merge() and should this fail splitting VMAs via split_vma() - has been abstracted, the former can be placed into mm/internal.h and the latter made static. In addition, the split_vma() nommu variant also need not be exported.

mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al.
mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range each employ a pattern of:- 1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs. 2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it accordingly. This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same. Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation, accepting only those parameters which can be changed. To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action. We can also significantly simplify the logic - by returning the VMA if we split (or merged VMA if we do not) we no longer need specific handling for merge/split cases in any of the call sites. Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger. In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this instance, this invocation will remain unchanged. We eliminate a VM_WARN_ON() in mprotect_fixup() as this simply asserts that vma_merge() correctly ensures that flags remain the same, something that is already checked in is_mergeable_vma() and elsewhere, and in any case is not specific to mprotect().

mmap: fix error paths with dup_anon_vma()
When the calling function fails after the dup_anon_vma(), the
duplication of the anon_vma is not being undone. Add the necessary
unlink_anon_vma() call to the error paths that are missing them.
This issue showed up during inspection of the error path in vma_merge()
for an unrelated vma iterator issue.
Users may experience increased memory usage, which may be problematic as
the failure would likely be caused by a low memory situation.

During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned or
set to the correct range. Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to the
passed in address. Re-walking to the same range will fix the range to the
area previously passed in.
Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an

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.

mm: move vma locking out of vma_prepare and dup_anon_vma
vma_prepare() is currently the central place where vmas are being locked before vma_complete() applies changes to them. While this is convenient, it also obscures vma locking and makes it harder to follow the locking rules. Move vma locking out of vma_prepare() and take vma locks explicitly at the locations where vmas are being modified. Move vma locking and replace it with an assertion inside dup_anon_vma() to further clarify the locking pattern inside vma_merge().

mm/mmap: change vma iteration order in do_vmi_align_munmap()
By delaying the setting of prev/next VMA until after the write of NULL, the probability of the prev/next VMA already being in the CPU cache is significantly increased, especially for larger munmap operations. It also means that prev/next will be loaded closer to when they are used. This requires changing the loop type when gathering the VMAs that will be freed. Since prev will be set later in the function, it is better to reverse the splitting direction of the start VMA (modify the new_below argument to __split_vma). Using the vma_iter_prev_range() to walk back to the correct location in the tree will, on the most part, mean walking within the CPU cache. Usually, this is two steps vs a node reset and a tree re-walk. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230724183157.3939892-16-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Liam R.

mm: change do_vmi_align_munmap() tracking of VMAs to remove
The majority of the calls to munmap a vm range is within a single vma. The maple tree is able to store a single entry at 0, with a size of 1 as a pointer and avoid any allocations. Change do_vmi_align_munmap() to store the VMAs being munmap()'ed into a tree indexed by the count. This will leverage the ability to store the first entry without a node allocation. Storing the entries into a tree by the count and not the vma start and end means changing the functions which iterate over the entries. Update unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() to take a maple state and a tree end address to support this functionality. Passing through the same maple state to unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() means the state needs to be reset between calls. This happens in the static unmap_region() and exit_mmap().

mm: don't drop VMA locks in mm_drop_all_locks()
Despite its name, mm_drop_all_locks() does not drop _all_ locks; the mmap
lock is held write-locked by the caller, and the caller is responsible for
dropping the mmap lock at a later point (which will also release the VMA
locks).
Calling vma_end_write_all() here is dangerous because the caller might
have write-locked a VMA with the expectation that it will stay
write-locked until the mmap_lock is released, as usual.
This _almost_ becomes a problem in the following scenario:
An anonymous VMA A and an SGX VMA B are mapped adjacent to each other.
Userspace calls munmap() on a range starting at the start address of A and
ending in the middle of B.
Hypothetical call graph with additional notes in brackets:
do_vmi_align_munmap
[begin first for_each_vma_range loop]
vma_start_write [on VMA A]
vma_mark_detached [on VMA A]
__split_vma [on VMA B]
sgx_vma_open [== new->vm_ops->open]
sgx_encl_mm_add
__mmu_notifier_register [luckily THIS CAN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN]
mm_take_all_locks
mm_drop_all_locks
vma_end_write_all [drops VMA lock taken on VMA A before]
vma_start_write [on VMA B]
vma_mark_detached [on VMA B]
[end first for_each_vma_range loop]
vma_iter_clear_gfp [removes VMAs from maple tree]
mmap_write_downgrade
unmap_region
mmap_read_unlock
In this hypothetical scenario, while do_vmi_align_munmap() thinks it still
holds a VMA write lock on VMA A, the VMA write lock has actually been
invalidated inside __split_vma().
The call from sgx_encl_mm_add() to __mmu_notifier_register() can't
actually happen here, as far as I understand, because we are duplicating
an existing SGX VMA, but sgx_encl_mm_add() only calls
__mmu_notifier_register() for the first SGX VMA created in a given
process. So this could only happen in fork(), not on munmap(). But in my
view it is just pure luck that this can't happen.
Also, we wouldn't actually have any bad consequences from this in
do_vmi_align_munmap(), because by the time the bug drops the lock on VMA
A, we've already marked VMA A as detached, which makes it completely
ineligible for any VMA-locked page faults. But again, that's just pure
luck.
So remove the vma_end_write_all(), so that VMA write locks are only ever
released on mmap_write_unlock() or mmap_write_downgrade().
Also add comments to document the locking rules established by this patch.

mm/mmap: clean up validate_mm() calls
Patch series "More strict maple tree lockdep", v2. Linus asked for more strict maple tree lockdep checking [1] and for them to resume the normal path through Andrews tree. This series of patches adds checks to ensure the lock is held in write mode during the write path of the maple tree instead of checking if it's held at all. It also reduces the validate_mm() calls by consolidating into commonly used functions (patch 0001), and removes the necessity of holding the lock on the detached tree during munmap() operations. This patch (of 4): validate_mm() calls are too spread out and duplicated in numerous locations. Also, now that the stack write is done under the write lock, it is not necessary to validate the mm prior to write operations. Add a validate_mm() to the stack expansions, and to vma_complete() so that numerous others may be dropped. Note that vma_link() (and also insert_vm_struct() by call path) already call validate_mm(). vma_merge() also had an unnecessary call to vma_iter_free() since the logic change to abort earlier if no merging is necessary. Drop extra validate_mm() calls at the start of functions and error paths which won't write to the tree. Relocate the validate_mm() call in the do_brk_flags() to avoid re-running the same test when vma_complete() is used. The call within the error path of mmap_region() is left intentionally because of the complexity of the function and the potential of drivers modifying the tree.

mm/mmap: move vma operations to mm_struct out of the critical section of file mapping lock
UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are
spawned frequently to do some short jobs. When running multiple parallel
tasks, hot osq_lock is observed from do_mmap and exit_mmap. Both of them
come from load_elf_binary through the call chain
"execl->do_execveat_common->bprm_execve->load_elf_binary".
In do_mmap,it will call mmap_region to create vma node, initialize it and
insert it to vma maintain structure in mm_struct and i_mmap tree of the
mapping file, then increase map_count to record the number of vma nodes
used. The hot osq_lock is to protect operations on file's i_mmap tree.
For the mm_struct member change like vma insertion and map_count update,
they do not affect i_mmap tree. Move those operations out of the lock's
critical section, to reduce hold time on the lock.
With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on
v6.0-rc6, the 160 parallel score improves by 12%. The patch has no
obvious performance gain on v6.5-rc1 due to regression of this benchmark
from this commit

mm: lock VMA in dup_anon_vma() before setting ->anon_vma
When VMAs are merged, dup_anon_vma() is called with `dst` pointing to the
VMA that is being expanded to cover the area previously occupied by
another VMA. This currently happens while `dst` is not write-locked.
This means that, in the `src->anon_vma && !dst->anon_vma` case, as soon as
the assignment `dst->anon_vma = src->anon_vma` has happened, concurrent
page faults can happen on `dst` under the per-VMA lock. This is already
icky in itself, since such page faults can now install pages into `dst`
that are attached to an `anon_vma` that is not yet tied back to the
`anon_vma` with an `anon_vma_chain`. But if `anon_vma_clone()` fails due
to an out-of-memory error, things get much worse: `anon_vma_clone()` then
reverts `dst->anon_vma` back to NULL, and `dst` remains completely
unconnected to the `anon_vma`, even though we can have pages in the area
covered by `dst` that point to the `anon_vma`.
This means the `anon_vma` of such pages can be freed while the pages are
still mapped into userspace, which leads to UAF when a helper like
folio_lock_anon_vma_read() tries to look up the anon_vma of such a page.
This theoretically is a security bug, but I believe it is really hard to
actually trigger as an unprivileged user because it requires that you can
make an order-0 GFP_KERNEL allocation fail, and the page allocator tries
pretty hard to prevent that.
I think doing the vma_start_write() call inside dup_anon_vma() is the most
straightforward fix for now.
For a kernel-assisted reproducer, see the notes section of the patch mail.

mm: Add guard pages around a shadow stack.
The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) 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.
The architecture of shadow stack constrains the ability of userspace to
move the shadow stack pointer (SSP) in order to prevent corrupting or
switching to other shadow stacks. The RSTORSSP instruction can move the
SSP to different shadow stacks, but it requires a specially placed token
in order to do this. However, the architecture does not prevent
incrementing the stack pointer to wander onto an adjacent shadow stack. To
prevent this in software, enforce guard pages at the beginning of shadow
stack VMAs, such that there will always be a gap between adjacent shadow
stacks.
Make the gap big enough so that no userspace SSP changing operations
(besides RSTORSSP), can move the SSP from one stack to the next. The
SSP can be incremented or decremented by CALL, RET and INCSSP. CALL and
RET can move the SSP by a maximum of 8 bytes, at which point the shadow
stack would be accessed.
The INCSSP instruction can also increment the shadow stack pointer. It
is the shadow stack analog of an instruction like:
addq $0x80, %rsp
However, there is one important difference between an ADD on %rsp and
INCSSP. In addition to modifying SSP, INCSSP also reads from the memory
of the first and last elements that were "popped". It can be thought of
as acting like this:
READ_ONCE(ssp); // read+discard top element on stack
ssp += nr_to_pop * 8; // move the shadow stack
READ_ONCE(ssp-8); // read+discard last popped stack element
The maximum distance INCSSP can move the SSP is 2040 bytes, before it
would read the memory. Therefore, a single page gap will be enough to
prevent any operation from shifting the SSP to an adjacent stack, since
it would have to land in the gap at least once, causing a fault.
This could be accomplished by using VM_GROWSDOWN, but this has a
downside. The behavior would allow shadow stacks to grow, which is
unneeded and adds a strange difference to how most regular stacks work.
In the maple tree code, there is some logic for retrying the unmapped
area search if a guard gap is violated. This retry should happen for
shadow stack guard gap violations as well. This logic currently only
checks for VM_GROWSDOWN for start gaps. Since shadow stacks also have
a start gap as well, create an new define VM_STARTGAP_FLAGS to hold
all the VM flag bits that have start gaps, and make mmap use it.
