Fix some "Bad rss-counter state" reports on exit, arising from the
interaction between page migration and remap_file_pages(): zap_pte()
must count a migration entry when zapping it.
And yes, it is possible (though very unusual) to find an anon page or
swap entry in a VM_SHARED nonlinear mapping: coming from that horrid
get_user_pages(write, force) case which COWs even in a shared mapping.

remap_file_pages calls mmap_region, which may merge the VMA with other
existing VMAs, and free "vma". This can lead to a use-after-free bug.
Avoid the bug by remembering vm_flags before calling mmap_region, and
not trying to dereference vma later.

This reverts commit 1869305009 ("mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to
better deal with racy userspace programs").
VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with
vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are
operating on.
Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is
that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the
address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock
calls.
Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a
new vm_flag.

The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b10d ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error
path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized
vm_flags without changing the generated code.
However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail
with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of:
- compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the
!vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops
- compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got
dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!)
I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0
just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

The vm_populate() code populates user mappings without constantly
holding the mmap_sem. This makes it susceptible to racy userspace
programs: the user mappings may change while vm_populate() is running,
and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping
instead of the old one.
In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by
this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which
gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way
vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a
race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has
requested (using MAP_SHARED, MAP_LOCKED or mlock) to be populated.

We have many vma manipulation functions that are fast in the typical
case, but can optionally be instructed to populate an unbounded number
of ptes within the region they work on:
- mmap with MAP_POPULATE or MAP_LOCKED flags;
- remap_file_pages() with MAP_NONBLOCK not set or when working on a
VM_LOCKED vma;
- mmap_region() and all its wrappers when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in
effect;
- brk() when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in effect.
Current code handles these pte operations locally, while the
sourrounding code has to hold the mmap_sem write side since it's
manipulating vmas. This means we're doing an unbounded amount of pte
population work with mmap_sem held, and this causes problems as Andy
Lutomirski reported (we've hit this at Google as well, though it's not
entirely clear why people keep trying to use mlock(MCL_FUTURE) in the
first place).
I propose introducing a new mm_populate() function to do this pte
population work after the mmap_sem has been released. mm_populate()
does need to acquire the mmap_sem read side, but critically, it doesn't
need to hold it continuously for the entire duration of the operation -
it can drop it whenever things take too long (such as when hitting disk
for a file read) and re-acquire it later on.
The following patches are included
- Patches 1 fixes some issues I noticed while working on the existing code.
If needed, they could potentially go in before the rest of the patches.
- Patch 2 introduces the new mm_populate() function and changes
mmap_region() call sites to use it after they drop mmap_sem. This is
inspired from Andy Lutomirski's proposal and is built as an extension
of the work I had previously done for mlock() and mlockall() around
v2.6.38-rc1. I had tried doing something similar at the time but had
given up as there were so many do_mmap() call sites; the recent cleanups
by Linus and Viro are a tremendous help here.
- Patches 3-5 convert some of the less-obvious places doing unbounded
pte populates to the new mm_populate() mechanism.
- Patches 6-7 are code cleanups that are made possible by the
mm_populate() work. In particular, they remove more code than the
entire patch series added, which should be a good thing :)
- Patch 8 is optional to this entire series. It only helps to deal more
nicely with racy userspace programs that might modify their mappings
while we're trying to populate them. It adds a new VM_POPULATE flag
on the mappings we do want to populate, so that if userspace replaces
them with mappings it doesn't want populated, mm_populate() won't
populate those replacement mappings.
This patch:
Assorted small fixes. The first two are quite small:
- Move check for vma->vm_private_data && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)
within existing if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)) block.
Purely cosmetic.
- In the VM_LOCKED case, when dropping PG_Mlocked for the over-mapped
range, make sure we own the mmap_sem write lock around the
munlock_vma_pages_range call as this manipulates the vma's vm_flags.
Last fix requires a longer explanation. remap_file_pages() can do its work
either through VM_NONLINEAR manipulation or by creating extra vmas.
These two cases were inconsistent with each other (and ultimately, both wrong)
as to exactly when did they fault in the newly mapped file pages:
- In the VM_NONLINEAR case, new file pages would be populated if
the MAP_NONBLOCK flag wasn't passed. If MAP_NONBLOCK was passed,
new file pages wouldn't be populated even if the vma is already
marked as VM_LOCKED.
- In the linear (emulated) case, the work is passed to the mmap_region()
function which would populate the pages if the vma is marked as
VM_LOCKED, and would not otherwise - regardless of the value of the
MAP_NONBLOCK flag, because MAP_POPULATE wasn't being passed to
mmap_region().
The desired behavior is that we want the pages to be populated and locked
if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, or to be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK
flag is not passed to remap_file_pages().

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.
Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.
As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.
With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

page_mkclean() doesn't re-protect ptes for non-linear mappings, so a later
re-dirty through such a mapping will not generate a fault, PG_dirty will
not reflect the dirty state and the dirty count will be skewed. This
implies that msync() is also currently broken for nonlinear mappings.
The easiest solution is to emulate remap_file_pages on non-linear mappings
with simple mmap() for non ram-backed filesystems. Applications continue
to work (albeit slower), as long as the number of remappings remain below
the maximum vma count.
However all currently known real uses of non-linear mappings are for ram
backed filesystems, which this patch doesn't affect.

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.
The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

There's one peculiar use of VM_RESERVED which the previous patch left behind:
because VM_NONLINEAR's try_to_unmap_cluster uses vm_private_data as a swapout
cursor, but should never meet VM_RESERVED vmas, it was a way of extending
VM_NONLINEAR to VM_RESERVED vmas using vm_private_data for some other purpose.
But that's an empty set - they don't have the populate function required. So
just throw away those VM_RESERVED tests.
But one more interesting in rmap.c has to go too: try_to_unmap_one will want
to swap out an anonymous page from VM_RESERVED or VM_UNPAGED area.

Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.
Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.
Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it
needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).
Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary
bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.
Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them
again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.
These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
"atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on
all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those
concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or
total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer
tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to
be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank.
Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros
update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep
mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually
by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower
rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle
mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand
that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the
maximum with rss or total_vm.
And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The
new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak
line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS
(High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory).
There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be
captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly
corrected now, whereas before it would stick.
What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy,
it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits,
hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under
page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without
going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and
updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up
and back down in between.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.
Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.
