[ Upstream commit 3234ac664a870e6ea69ae3a57d824cd7edbeacc5 ]
Close the hole of holding a mapping over kernel driver takeover event of
a given address range.
Commit 90a545e98126 ("restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges")
introduced CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM with the goal of protecting the
kernel against scenarios where a /dev/mem user tramples memory that a
kernel driver owns. However, this protection only prevents *new* read(),
write() and mmap() requests. Established mappings prior to the driver
calling request_mem_region() are left alone.
Especially with persistent memory, and the core kernel metadata that is
stored there, there are plentiful scenarios for a /dev/mem user to
violate the expectations of the driver and cause amplified damage.
Teach request_mem_region() to find and shoot down active /dev/mem
mappings that it believes it has successfully claimed for the exclusive
use of the driver. Effectively a driver call to request_mem_region()
becomes a hole-punch on the /dev/mem device.
The typical usage of unmap_mapping_range() is part of
truncate_pagecache() to punch a hole in a file, but in this case the
implementation is only doing the "first half" of a hole punch. Namely it
is just evacuating current established mappings of the "hole", and it
relies on the fact that /dev/mem establishes mappings in terms of
absolute physical address offsets. Once existing mmap users are
invalidated they can attempt to re-establish the mapping, or attempt to
continue issuing read(2) / write(2) to the invalidated extent, but they
will then be subject to the CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM checking that can
block those subsequent accesses.

[ Upstream commit f7d31e65368aeef973fab788aa22c4f1d5a6af66 ]
The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct
kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit
modes.
In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus
forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the
boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps.
This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using
the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has
to work with 32 bit kernel.
The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI
change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit
userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace
with 64 bit kernel' one.
As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque
nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

who botched this please re-read:

Also, the type argument for the ioctl macros is for the type the void

Pull clone3 stack argument update from Christian Brauner:
"This changes clone3() to do basic stack validation and to set up the
stack depending on whether or not it is growing up or down.
With clone3() the expectation is now very simply that the .stack
argument points to the lowest address of the stack and that
.stack_size specifies the initial stack size. This is diferent from
legacy clone() where the "stack" argument had to point to the lowest
or highest address of the stack depending on the architecture.
clone3() was released with 5.3. Currently, it is not documented and
very unclear to userspace how the stack and stack_size argument have
to be passed. After talking to glibc folks we concluded that changing
clone3() to determine stack direction and doing basic validation is
the right course of action.
Note, this is a potentially user visible change. In the very unlikely
case, that it breaks someone's use-case we will revert. (And then e.g.
place the new behavior under an appropriate flag.)
Note that passing an empty stack will continue working just as before.
Breaking someone's use-case is very unlikely. Neither glibc nor musl
currently expose a wrapper for clone3(). There is currently also no
real motivation for anyone to use clone3() directly. First, because
using clone{3}() with stacks requires some assembly (see glibc and
musl). Second, because it does not provide features that legacy
clone() doesn't. New features for clone3() will first happen in v5.5
which is why v5.4 is still a good time to try and make that change now
and backport it to v5.3.
I did a codesearch on https://codesearch.debian.net, github, and
gitlab and could not find any software currently relying directly on
clone3(). I expect this to change once we land CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND
which was a request coming from glibc at which point they'll likely
start using it"
* tag 'for-linus-2019-11-05' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
clone3: validate stack arguments
Validate the stack arguments and setup the stack depening on whether or not
it is growing down or up.
Legacy clone() required userspace to know in which direction the stack is
growing and pass down the stack pointer appropriately. To make things more
confusing microblaze uses a variant of the clone() syscall selected by
CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS3 that takes an additional stack_size argument.
IA64 has a separate clone2() syscall which also takes an additional
stack_size argument. Finally, parisc has a stack that is growing upwards.
Userspace therefore has a lot nasty code like the following:
#define __STACK_SIZE (8 * 1024 * 1024)
pid_t sys_clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *arg, int flags, int *pidfd)
{
pid_t ret;
void *stack;
stack = malloc(__STACK_SIZE);
if (!stack)
return -ENOMEM;
#ifdef __ia64__
ret = __clone2(fn, stack, __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#elif defined(__parisc__) /* stack grows up */
ret = clone(fn, stack, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#else
ret = clone(fn, stack + __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#endif
return ret;
}
or even crazier variants such as [3].
With clone3() we have the ability to validate the stack. We can check that
when stack_size is passed, the stack pointer is valid and the other way
around. We can also check that the memory area userspace gave us is fine to
use via access_ok(). Furthermore, we probably should not require
userspace to know in which direction the stack is growing. It is easy
for us to do this in the kernel and I couldn't find the original
reasoning behind exposing this detail to userspace.
/* Intentional user visible API change */
clone3() was released with 5.3. Currently, it is not documented and very
unclear to userspace how the stack and stack_size argument have to be
passed. After talking to glibc folks we concluded that trying to change
clone3() to setup the stack instead of requiring userspace to do this is
the right course of action.
Note, that this is an explicit change in user visible behavior we introduce
with this patch. If it breaks someone's use-case we will revert! (And then
e.g. place the new behavior under an appropriate flag.)
Breaking someone's use-case is very unlikely though. First, neither glibc
nor musl currently expose a wrapper for clone3(). Second, there is no real
motivation for anyone to use clone3() directly since it does not provide
features that legacy clone doesn't. New features for clone3() will first
happen in v5.5 which is why v5.4 is still a good time to try and make that
change now and backport it to v5.3. Searches on [4] did not reveal any
packages calling clone3().

Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out
from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to
copy a struct from userspace.
The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of
which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility,
i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.
The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.
This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
rejects differently-sized struct arguments.
With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(),
perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper"

- add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and
close on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up
read and write in some cases. It also replaces our readahead
cache.
- Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write
errors like server reboots for the purposes of write caching,
thus forcing clients to resend their writes.
- Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving,
so that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server
already has a lot of clients.
- Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should
now be limited only by the backend filesystem and the
maximum RPC size.
- Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos
credentials when a client reclaims state after a reboot.
And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"Highlights:
- Add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and close
on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.
- Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
clients to resend their writes.
- Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
has a lot of clients.
- Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.
- Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials
when a client reclaims state after a reboot.
And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup"

"Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting
them in guest(s).
This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.
It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
memory use.
Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
has been interest from other sources as well.

Commit 415606588c61 ("PTP: introduce new versions of IOCTLs",
2019-09-13) introduced new versions of the PTP ioctls which actually
validate that the flags are acceptable values.
As part of this, it cleared the flags value using a bitwise
and+negation, in an attempt to prevent the old ioctl from accidentally
enabling new features.
This is incorrect for a couple of reasons. First, it results in
accidentally preventing previously working flags on the request ioctl.
By clearing the "valid" flags, we now no longer allow setting the
enable, rising edge, or falling edge flags.
Second, if we add new additional flags in the future, they must not be
set by the old ioctl. (Since the flag wasn't checked before, we could
potentially break userspace programs which sent garbage flag data.
The correct way to resolve this is to check for and clear all but the
originally valid flags.
Create defines indicating which flags are correctly checked and
interpreted by the original ioctls. Use these to clear any bits which
will not be correctly interpreted by the original ioctls.
In the future, new flags must be added to the VALID_FLAGS macros, but
*not* to the V1_VALID_FLAGS macros. In this way, new features may be
exposed over the v2 ioctls, but without breaking previous userspace
which happened to not clear the flags value properly. The old ioctl will
continue to behave the same way, while the new ioctl gains the benefit
of using the flags fields.

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.
A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].
- man-page material
MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)
Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.
MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.
