hugetlb manually creates and destroys compound pages. As such it makes
assumptions about struct page layout. Commit ebc1baf5c9 ("mm: free up a
word in the first tail page") breaks hugetlb. The following will fix the
breakage.

smaps_pte_hole_lookup() is calling shmem_partial_swap_usage() with page
table lock held: but shmem_partial_swap_usage() does cond_resched_rcu() if
need_resched(): "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context".
Since shmem_partial_swap_usage() is designed to count across a range, but
smaps_pte_hole_lookup() only calls it for a single page slot, just break
out of the loop on the last or only page, before checking need_resched().

The cachestat kselftest runs a test on a normal file, which is created
temporarily in the current directory. Among the tests it runs there is a
call to fsync(), which is expected to clean all dirty pages used by the
file.
However the tmpfs filesystem implements fsync() as noop_fsync(), so the
call will not even attempt to clean anything when this test file happens
to live on a tmpfs instance. This happens in an initramfs, or when the
current directory is in /dev/shm or sometimes /tmp.
To avoid this test failing wrongly, use statfs() to check which filesystem
the test file lives on. If that is "tmpfs", we skip the fsync() test.
Since the fsync test is only one part of the "normal file" test, we now
execute this twice, skipping the fsync part on the first call. This way
only the second test, including the fsync part, would be skipped.

Patch series "selftests: cachestat: fix run on older kernels", v2.
I ran all kernel selftests on some test machine, and stumbled upon
cachestat failing (among others). These patches fix the run on older
kernels and when the current directory is on a tmpfs instance.
This patch (of 2):
As cachestat is a new syscall, it won't be available on older kernels, for
instance those running on a development machine. At the moment the test
reports all tests as "not ok" in this case.
Test for the cachestat syscall availability first, before doing further
tests, and bail out early with a TAP SKIP comment.
This also uses the opportunity to add the proper TAP headers, and add one
check for proper error handling (illegal file descriptor).

The current implementation of append may cause duplicate data and/or
incorrect ranges to be returned to a reader during an update. Although
this has not been reported or seen, disable the append write operation
while the tree is in rcu mode out of an abundance of caution.
During the analysis of the mas_next_slot() the following was
artificially created by separating the writer and reader code:
Writer: reader:
mas_wr_append
set end pivot
updates end metata
Detects write to last slot
last slot write is to start of slot
store current contents in slot
overwrite old end pivot
mas_next_slot():
read end metadata
read old end pivot
return with incorrect range
store new value
Alternatively:
Writer: reader:
mas_wr_append
set end pivot
updates end metata
Detects write to last slot
last lost write to end of slot
store value
mas_next_slot():
read end metadata
read old end pivot
read new end pivot
return with incorrect range
set old end pivot
There may be other accesses that are not safe since we are now updating
both metadata and pointers, so disabling append if there could be rcu
readers is the safest action.

Commit 98b211d641 ("madvise: convert madvise_free_pte_range() to use a
folio") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to check
whether the folio is shared by other mapping.
It's not correct for large folios. folio_mapcount() returns the total
mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio
is shared.
Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares.
That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.
User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise.
But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.
NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects
before the long term fix from David is ready.

Patch series "don't use mapcount() to check large folio sharing", v2.
In madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range(),
folio_mapcount() is used to check whether the folio is shared. But it's
not correct as folio_mapcount() returns total mapcount of large folio.

This patchset will fix the cases:
User space application call madvise() with MADV_FREE, MADV_COLD and
MADV_PAGEOUT for specific address range. There are THP mapped to the

THP will be split and handled accordingly.

later patch. Move PG_head into bottom byte as well to match with where
'order' is moving next. PG_active and PG_workingset move into the second

By putting PG_head in bit 6, we ensure that it is cleared by assigning the

cannot be larger than 63).

Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger
an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging.
Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write
(using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE.
Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible
(PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.

Let's extend mmap_and_merge_range() to test if anything in the current
process was merged. range_maps_duplicates() is too unreliable for that
use case, so instead look at KSM stats.
Trigger a complete unmerge first, to cleanup the stable tree and
stabilize accounting of merged pages.
Note that we're using /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages instead of
/proc/self/ksm_stat, because that one is available in more existing
kernels.
If /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages can't be opened, we can't perform any
checks and simply skip them.
We have to special-case the shared zeropage for now. But the only user
-- test_unmerge_zero_pages() -- performs its own merge checks.

Commit 0b9d705297 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from
gup/gup_fast") from 2012 documented as the primary reason why we would want
to handle NUMA hinting faults from GUP:
KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
handle_mm_fault.
That is still the case today, and relevant KVM code has been converted to
manually set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. So let's stop setting
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT for all GUP users and cross fingers that not that
many other ones that really require such handling for autonuma remain.
Possible interaction with MMU notifiers:
Assume a driver obtains a page using get_user_pages() to map it into
a secondary MMU, and uses the MMU notifier framework to get notified on
changes.
Assume get_user_pages() succeeded on a PROT_NONE-mapped page (because
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT is not set) in an accessible VMA and the page is
mapped into a secondary MMU. Once user space would turn that mapping
inaccessible using mprotect(PROT_NONE), the actual PTE in the page table
might not change. If the MMU notifier would be smart and optimize for that
case "why notify if the PTE didn't change", that could be problematic.
At least change_pmd_range() with MMU_NOTIFY_PROTECTION_VMA for now does an
unconditional mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and should be fine.
Note that even if a PTE in an accessible VMA is pte_protnone(), the
underlying page might be accessed by a secondary MMU that does not set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT, and test_young() MMU notifiers would return "true".

KVM is *the* case we know that really wants to honor NUMA hinting falls.
As we want to stop setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT implicitly, set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT whenever we might obtain pages on behalf of a VCPU
to map them into a secondary MMU, and add a comment why.
Do that unconditionally in hva_to_pfn_slow() when calling
get_user_pages_unlocked().
kvmppc_book3s_instantiate_page(), hva_to_pfn_fast() and
gfn_to_page_many_atomic() are similarly used to map pages into a
secondary MMU. However, FOLL_WRITE and get_user_page_fast_only() always
implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults -- as documented for
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT -- so we can limit this change to a single location
for now.
Don't set it in check_user_page_hwpoison(), where we really only want to
check if the mapped page is HW-poisoned.
We won't set it for other KVM users of get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages()
* arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c: not used to map pages into a
secondary MMU.
* arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c: only used on shared TLB pages with userspace
* arch/s390/kvm/*: s390x only supports a single NUMA node either way
* arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c: not used to map pages into a secondary MMU.
This is a preparation for making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT no longer
implicitly be set by get_user_pages() and friends.

This sysctl has the very unusual behaviour of not allowing any user (even
CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to reduce the restriction setting, meaning that if you were
to set this sysctl to a more restrictive option in the host pidns you
would need to reboot your machine in order to reset it.
The justification given in [1] is that this is a security feature and thus
it should not be possible to disable. Aside from the fact that we have
plenty of security-related sysctls that can be disabled after being
enabled (fs.protected_symlinks for instance), the protection provided by
the sysctl is to stop users from being able to create a binary and then
execute it. A user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can trivially do this without
memfd_create(2):
% cat mount-memfd.c
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/mount.h>
#define SHELLCODE "#!/bin/echo this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs:"
int main(void)
{
int fsfd = fsopen("tmpfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
assert(fsfd >= 0);
assert(!fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 2));
int dfd = fsmount(fsfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, 0);
assert(dfd >= 0);
int execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC, 0782);
assert(execfd >= 0);
assert(write(execfd, SHELLCODE, strlen(SHELLCODE)) == strlen(SHELLCODE));
assert(!close(execfd));
char *execpath = NULL;
char *argv[] = { "bad-exe", NULL }, *envp[] = { NULL };
execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
assert(execfd >= 0);
assert(asprintf(&execpath, "/proc/self/fd/%d", execfd) > 0);
assert(!execve(execpath, argv, envp));
}
% ./mount-memfd
this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs: /proc/self/fd/5
%
Given that it is possible for CAP_SYS_ADMIN users to create executable
binaries without memfd_create(2) and without touching the host filesystem
(not to mention the many other things a CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would be
able to do that would be equivalent or worse), it seems strange to cause a
fair amount of headache to admins when there doesn't appear to be an
actual security benefit to blocking this. There appear to be concerns
about confused-deputy-esque attacks[2] but a confused deputy that can
write to arbitrary sysctls is a bigger security issue than executable
memfds.
/* New API */
The primary requirement from the original author appears to be more based
on the need to be able to restrict an entire system in a hierarchical
manner[3], such that child namespaces cannot re-enable executable memfds.
So, implement that behaviour explicitly -- the vm.memfd_noexec scope is
evaluated up the pidns tree to &init_pid_ns and you have the most
restrictive value applied to you. The new lower limit you can set
vm.memfd_noexec is whatever limit applies to your parent.
Note that a pidns will inherit a copy of the parent pidns's effective
vm.memfd_noexec setting at unshare() time. This matches the existing
behaviour, and it also ensures that a pidns will never have its
vm.memfd_noexec setting *lowered* behind its back (but it will be raised
if the parent raises theirs).
/* Backwards Compatibility */
As the previous version of the sysctl didn't allow you to lower the
setting at all, there are no backwards compatibility issues with this
aspect of the change.
However it should be noted that now that the setting is completely
hierarchical. Previously, a cloned pidns would just copy the current
pidns setting, meaning that if the parent's vm.memfd_noexec was changed it
wouldn't propoagate to existing pid namespaces. Now, the restriction
applies recursively. This is a uAPI change, however:
* The sysctl is very new, having been merged in 6.3.
* Several aspects of the sysctl were broken up until this patchset and
the other patchset by Jeff Xu last month.
And thus it seems incredibly unlikely that any real users would run into
this issue. In the worst case, if this causes userspace isues we could
make it so that modifying the setting follows the hierarchical rules but
the restriction checking uses the cached copy.

In order to incentivise userspace to switch to passing MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, we need to provide a warning on each attempt to call
memfd_create() without the new flags. pr_warn_once() is not useful
because on most systems the one warning is burned up during the boot
process (on my system, systemd does this within the first second of boot)
and thus userspace will in practice never see the warnings to push them to
switch to the new flags.
The original patchset[1] used pr_warn_ratelimited(), however there were
concerns about the degree of spam in the kernel log[2,3]. The resulting
inability to detect every case was flagged as an issue at the time[4].
While we could come up with an alternative rate-limiting scheme such as
only outputting the message if vm.memfd_noexec has been modified, or only
outputting the message once for a given task, these alternatives have
downsides that don't make sense given how low-stakes a single kernel
warning message is. Switching to pr_info_ratelimited() instead should be
fine -- it's possible some monitoring tool will be unhappy with a stream
of warning-level messages but there's already plenty of info-level message
spam in dmesg.

Given the difficulty of auditing all of userspace to figure out whether
every memfd_create() user has switched to passing MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL flags, it seems far less distruptive to make it possible
for older programs that don't make use of executable memfds to run under
vm.memfd_noexec=2. Otherwise, a small dependency change can result in
spurious errors. For programs that don't use executable memfds, passing
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is functionally a no-op and thus having the same
In addition, every failure under vm.memfd_noexec=2 needs to print to the
kernel log so that userspace can figure out where the error came from.
The concerns about pr_warn_ratelimited() spam that caused the switch to
pr_warn_once()[1,2] do not apply to the vm.memfd_noexec=2 case.
This is a user-visible API change, but as it allows programs to do
something that would be blocked before, and the sysctl itself was broken
and recently released, it seems unlikely this will cause any issues.

Patch series "memfd: cleanups for vm.memfd_noexec", v2.
The most critical issue with vm.memfd_noexec=2 (the fact that passing
MFD_EXEC would bypass it entirely[1]) has been fixed in Andrew's
tree[2], but there are still some outstanding issues that need to be
addressed:
* vm.memfd_noexec=2 shouldn't reject old-style memfd_create(2) syscalls
because it will make it far to difficult to ever migrate. Instead it
should imply MFD_EXEC.
* The dmesg warnings are pr_warn_once(), which on most systems means
that they will be used up by systemd or some other boot process and
userspace developers will never see it.
- For the !(flags & (MFD_EXEC | MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL)) case, outputting a
rate-limited message to the kernel log is necessary to tell
userspace that they should add the new flags.
Arguably the most ideal way to deal with the spam concern[3,4]
while still prompting userspace to switch to the new flags would be
to only log the warning once per task or something similar.
However, adding something to task_struct for tracking this would be
needless bloat for a single pr_warn_ratelimited().
So just switch to pr_info_ratelimited() to avoid spamming the log
with something that isn't a real warning. There's lots of
info-level stuff in dmesg, it seems really unlikely that this
should be an actual problem. Most programs are already switching to
the new flags anyway.
- For the vm.memfd_noexec=2 case, we need to log a warning for every
failure because otherwise userspace will have no idea why their
previously working program started returning -EACCES (previously
-EINVAL) from memfd_create(2). pr_warn_once() is simply wrong here.
* The racheting mechanism for vm.memfd_noexec makes it incredibly
unappealing for most users to enable the sysctl because enabling it
on &init_pid_ns means you need a system reboot to unset it. Given the
actual security threat being protected against, CAP_SYS_ADMIN users
being restricted in this way makes little sense.
The argument for this ratcheting by the original author was that it
allows you to have a hierarchical setting that cannot be unset by
child pidnses, but this is not accurate -- changing the parent
pidns's vm.memfd_noexec setting to be more restrictive didn't affect
children.
Instead, switch the vm.memfd_noexec sysctl to be properly
hierarchical and allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN users (in the pidns's owning
userns) to lower the setting as long as it is not lower than the
parent's effective setting. This change also makes it so that
changing a parent pidns's vm.memfd_noexec will affect all
descendants, providing a properly hierarchical setting. The
performance impact of this is incredibly minimal since the maximum
depth of pidns is 32 and it is only checked during memfd_create(2)
and unshare(CLONE_NEWPID).
* The memfd selftests would not exit with a non-zero error code when
certain tests that ran in a forked process (specifically the ones
related to MFD_EXEC and MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL) failed.

This patch (of 5):
Before this change, a test runner using this self test would see a return
code of 0 when the tests using a child process (namely the MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL
and MFD_EXEC tests) failed, masking test failures.

commit 686a8bb72349("selftests/mm: split uffd tests into uffd-stress and
uffd-unit-tests") split uffd tests into uffd-stress and uffd-unit-tests,
obviously we need to modify the help information synchronously.
Also modify code indentation.
