My commit 26178ec11e ("x86: mm: consolidate VM_FAULT_RETRY handling")
had a really stupid typo: the FAULT_FLAG_USER bit is in the 'flags'
variable, not the 'fault' variable. Duh,
The one silver lining in this is that Dave finding this at least
confirms that trinity actually triggers this special path easily, in a
way normal use does not.

The VM_FAULT_RETRY handling was confusing and incorrect for the case of
returning to kernel mode. We need to handle the exception table fixup
if we return to kernel mode due to a fatal signal - it will basically
look to the kernel user mode access like the access failed due to the VM
going away from udner it. Which is correct - the process is dying - and
avoids the whole "repeat endless kernel page faults" case.
Handling the VM_FAULT_RETRY early and in just one place also simplifies
the mmap_sem handling, since once we've taken care of VM_FAULT_RETRY we
know that we can just drop the lock. The remaining accounting and
possible error handling is thread-local and does not need the mmap_sem.

This replaces four copies in various stages of mm_fault_error() handling
with just a single one. It will also allow for more natural placement
of the unlocking after some further cleanup.

If a fault on a kernel address is due to a non-present page, then it
cannot be the result of stale TLB entry from a protection change (RO
to RW or NX to X). Thus the pagetable walk in spurious_fault() can be
skipped.
See the initial if in spurious_fault() and the tests in
spurious_fault_check()) for the set of possible error codes checked
for spurious faults. These are:
IRUWP
Before x00xx && ( 1xxxx || xxx1x )
After ( 10001 || 00011 ) && ( 1xxxx || xxx1x )
Thus the new condition is a subset of the previous one, excluding only
non-present faults (I == 1 and W == 1 are mutually exclusive).
This avoids spurious_fault() oopsing in some cases if the pagetables
it attempts to walk are not accessible. This obscures the location of
the original fault.
This also fixes a crash with Xen PV guests when they access entries in
the M2P corresponding to device MMIO regions. The M2P is mapped
(read-only) by Xen into the kernel address space of the guest and this
mapping may contains holes for non-RAM regions. Read faults will
result in calls to spurious_fault(), but because the page tables for
the M2P mappings are not accessible by the guest the pagetable walk
would fault.
This was not normally a problem as MMIO mappings would not normally
result in a M2P lookup because of the use of the _PAGE_IOMAP bit the
PTE. However, removing the _PAGE_IOMAP bit requires M2P lookups for
MMIO mappings as well.

When hot-adding/removing memory, sync_global_pgds() is called
for synchronizing PGD to PGD entries of all processes MM. But
when hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() does not work
correctly.
At first, sync_global_pgds() checks whether target PGD is none
or not. And if PGD is none, the PGD is skipped. But when
hot-removing memory, PGD may be none since PGD may be cleared by
free_pud_table(). So when sync_global_pgds() is called after
hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() should not skip PGD even
if the PGD is none. And sync_global_pgds() must clear PGD
entries of all processes MM.
Currently sync_global_pgds() does not clear PGD entries of all
processes MM when hot-removing memory. So when hot adding
memory which is same memory range as removed memory after
hot-removing memory, following call traces are shown:

If pagefault triggers due to SMEP triggering, it can't be really easily
distinguished from any other oops-causing pagefault, which might lead to quite
some confusion when trying to understand the reason for the oops.
Print an explanatory message in case the fault happened during instruction
fetch for _PAGE_USER page which is present and executable on SMEP-enabled CPUs.
This is consistent with what we are doing for NX already; in addition to
immediately seeing from the oops what might be happening, it can even easily
give a good indication to sysadmins who are carefully monitoring their kernel
logs that someone might be trying to pwn them.

Building on commit 0ac09f9f8c ("x86, trace: Fix CR2 corruption when

- Now that read_cr2() is lifted into trace_do_page_fault(), we should
pass the address to trace_page_fault_entries() to avoid it
re-reading a potentially changed cr2.
- Put both trace_do_page_fault() and trace_page_fault_entries() under
CONFIG_TRACING.
- Mark both fault entry functions {,trace_}do_page_fault() as notrace
to avoid getting __mcount or other function entry trace callbacks
before we've observed CR2.
- Mark __do_page_fault() as noinline to guarantee the function tracer
does get to see the fault.

The trace_do_page_fault function trigger tracepoint
and then handles the actual page fault.
This could lead to error if the tracepoint caused page
fault. The original cr2 value gets lost and the original
page fault handler kills current process with SIGSEGV.
This happens if you record page faults with callchain
data, the user part of it will cause tracepoint handler
to page fault:
# perf record -g -e exceptions:page_fault_user ls
Fixing this by saving the original cr2 value
and using it after tracepoint handler is done.
v2: Moving the cr2 read before exception_enter, because
it could trigger tracepoint as well.

Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:
static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);
When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.
This was added in commit 71f9e59800 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.
So instead of correct output:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]
We get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff
To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

This patch registers exception handlers for tracing to a trace IDT.
To implemented it in set_intr_gate(), this patch does followings.
- Register the exception handlers to
the trace IDT by prepending "trace_" to the handler's names.
- Also, newly introduce trace_page_fault() to add tracepoints
in a subsequent patch.

Now that we can deal with nested NMI due to IRET re-enabling NMIs and
can deal with faults from NMI by making sure we preserve CR2 over NMIs
we can in fact simply access user-space memory from NMI context.
So rewrite copy_from_user_nmi() to use __copy_from_user_inatomic() and
rework the fault path to do the minimal required work before taking
the in_atomic() fault handler.
In particular avoid perf_sw_event() which would make perf recurse on
itself (it should be harmless as our recursion protections should be
able to deal with this -- but why tempt fate).
Also rename notify_page_fault() to kprobes_fault() as that is a much
better name; there is no notifier in it and its specific to kprobes.
Don measured that his worst case NMI path shrunk from ~300K cycles to
~150K cycles.

The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
task has a fatal signal pending. For a subsequent patch this is a
problem in OOM situations because it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory()
being called even when the task has been killed, to perform proper
per-task OOM state unwinding.
Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that
saves a few instructions in rare cases. Just remove it for
user-triggered faults.
Use the opportunity to split the fault retry handling from actual fault
errors and add locking documentation that reads suprisingly similar to
ARM's.

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.
Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

In paravirtualized x86_64 kernels, vmalloc_fault may cause an oops
when lazy MMU updates are enabled, because set_pgd effects are being
deferred.
One instance of this problem is during process mm cleanup with memory
cgroups enabled. The chain of events is as follows:
- zap_pte_range enables lazy MMU updates
- zap_pte_range eventually calls mem_cgroup_charge_statistics,
which accesses the vmalloc'd mem_cgroup per-cpu stat area
- vmalloc_fault is triggered which tries to sync the corresponding
PGD entry with set_pgd, but the update is deferred
- vmalloc_fault oopses due to a mismatch in the PUD entries
The OOPs usually looks as so:

On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

I got a report for a minor regression introduced by commit
027ef6c878 ("mm: thp: fix pmd_present for split_huge_page and
PROT_NONE with THP").
So the problem is, pageattr creates kernel pagetables (pte and
pmds) that breaks pte_present/pmd_present and the patch above
exposed this invariant breakage for pmd_present.
The same problem already existed for the pte and pte_present and
it was fixed by commit 660a293ea9 ("x86, mm: Make
spurious_fault check explicitly check the PRESENT bit") (if it
wasn't for that commit, it wouldn't even be a regression). That
fix avoids the pagefault to use pte_present. I could follow
through by stopping using pmd_present/pmd_huge too.
However I think it's more robust to fix pageattr and to clear
the PSE/GLOBAL bitflags too in addition to the present bitflag.
So the kernel page fault can keep using the regular
pte_present/pmd_present/pmd_huge.
The confusion arises because _PAGE_GLOBAL and _PAGE_PROTNONE are
sharing the same bit, and in the pmd case we pretend _PAGE_PSE
to be set only in present pmds (to facilitate split_huge_page
final tlb flush).

Without this patch, it is trivial to determine kernel page
mappings by examining the error code reported to dmesg[1].
Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation
of a present page.
Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by
default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic
expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to
improve readability.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal. However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.
For example, after a softlockup we get:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Stack:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.
I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.
For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!
instead of the above confusing messages.
AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG. In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose(). As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.
Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

To make this work, we teach the page fault handler how to send
signals on failed uaccess. This only works for user addresses
(kernel addresses will never hit the page fault handler in the
first place), so we need to generate signals for those
separately.
This gets the tricky case right: if the user buffer spans
multiple pages and only the second page is invalid, we set
cr2 and si_addr correctly. UML relies on this behavior to
"fault in" pages as needed.
We steal a bit from thread_info.uaccess_err to enable this.
Before this change, uaccess_err was a 32-bit boolean value.
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.
