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.

mmap_region adds a newly created VMA into VMA tree and might modify it
afterwards before dropping the mmap_lock. This poses a problem for page
faults handled under per-VMA locks because they don't take the mmap_lock
and can stumble on this VMA while it's still being modified. Currently
this does not pose a problem since post-addition modifications are done
only for file-backed VMAs, which are not handled under per-VMA lock.
However, once support for handling file-backed page faults with per-VMA
locks is added, this will become a race.
Fix this by write-locking the VMA before inserting it into the VMA tree.
Other places where a new VMA is added into VMA tree do not modify it
after the insertion, so do not need the same locking.

This is an addition to commit ae80b40419 ("mm: validate the mm before
dropping the mmap lock"), because it turns out there were two problems,
but lockdep just stopped complaining after finding the first one.
The do_vmi_align_munmap() function now drops the mmap lock after doing
the validate_mm() call, but it turns out that one of the callers then
immediately calls validate_mm() again.
That's both a bit silly, and now (again) happens without the mmap lock
held.
So just remove that validate_mm() call from the caller, but make sure to
not lose any coverage by doing that mm sanity checking in the error path
of do_vmi_align_munmap() too.

up unlocking the mmap lock just a tad too early: the debug code doing
the mmap layout validation still needs to run with the lock held, or

So just move the unlocking to after the validate_mm() call.

Since do_vmi_align_munmap() will always honor the downgrade request on
the success, the callers no longer have to deal with confusing return
codes. Since all callers that request downgrade actually want the lock
to be dropped, change the downgrade to an unlock request.
Note that the lock still needs to be held in read mode during the page
table clean up to avoid races with a map request.
Update do_vmi_align_munmap() to return 0 for success. Clean up the
callers and comments to always expect the unlock to be honored on the
success path. The error path will always leave the lock untouched.
As part of the cleanup, the wrapper function do_vmi_munmap() and callers
to the wrapper are also updated.

Now that stack growth must always hold the mmap_lock for write, we can

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

If mas_store_gfp() in the gather loop failed, the 'error' variable that
ultimately gets returned was not being set. In many cases, its original
value of -ENOMEM was still in place, and that was fine. But if VMAs had
been split at the start or end of the range, then 'error' could be zero.
Change to the 'error = foo(); if (error) goto …' idiom to fix the bug.
Also clean up a later case which avoided the same bug by *explicitly*
setting error = -ENOMEM right before calling the function that might
return -ENOMEM.
In a final cosmetic change, move the 'Point of no return' comment to
*after* the goto. That's been in the wrong place since the preallocation
was removed, and this new error path was added.

This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.
For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks. Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.
It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma. This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.
As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid. So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

To avoid making this a flag-day event, this still allows the old
read-locking case for the trivial situations, and passes in a flag to
say "is it write-locked". That way write-lockers can say "yes, I'm
being careful", and legacy users will continue to work in all the common

Patch series "mm/gup: disallow GUP writing to file-backed mappings by
default", v9.
Writing to file-backed mappings which require folio dirty tracking using
GUP is a fundamentally broken operation, as kernel write access to GUP
mappings do not adhere to the semantics expected by a file system.
A GUP caller uses the direct mapping to access the folio, which does not
cause write notify to trigger, nor does it enforce that the caller marks
the folio dirty.
The problem arises when, after an initial write to the folio, writeback
results in the folio being cleaned and then the caller, via the GUP
interface, writes to the folio again.
As a result of the use of this secondary, direct, mapping to the folio no
write notify will occur, and if the caller does mark the folio dirty, this
will be done so unexpectedly.
For example, consider the following scenario:-
1. A folio is written to via GUP which write-faults the memory, notifying
the file system and dirtying the folio.
2. Later, writeback is triggered, resulting in the folio being cleaned and
the PTE being marked read-only.
3. The GUP caller writes to the folio, as it is mapped read/write via the
direct mapping.
4. The GUP caller, now done with the page, unpins it and sets it dirty
(though it does not have to).
This change updates both the PUP FOLL_LONGTERM slow and fast APIs. As
pin_user_pages_fast_only() does not exist, we can rely on a slightly
imperfect whitelisting in the PUP-fast case and fall back to the slow case
should this fail.
This patch (of 3):
vma_wants_writenotify() is specifically intended for setting PTE page
table flags, accounting for existing page table flag state and whether the
underlying filesystem performs dirty tracking for a file-backed mapping.
Everything is predicated firstly on whether the mapping is shared
writable, as this is the only instance where dirty tracking is pertinent -
MAP_PRIVATE mappings will always be CoW'd and unshared, and read-only
file-backed shared mappings cannot be written to, even with FOLL_FORCE.
All other checks are in line with existing logic, though now separated
into checks eplicitily for dirty tracking and those for determining how to
set page table flags.
We make this change so we can perform checks in the GUP logic to determine
which mappings might be problematic when written to.

We may still have inconsistent input parameters even if we choose not to
merge and the vma_merge() invariant checks are useful for checking this
with no production runtime cost (these are only relevant when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is specified).
Therefore, perform these checks regardless of whether we merge.
This is relevant, as a recent issue (addressed in commit "mm/mempolicy:
Correctly update prev when policy is equal on mbind") in the mbind logic
was only picked up in the 6.2.y stable branch where these assertions are
performed prior to determining mergeability.
Had this remained the same in mainline this issue may have been picked up
faster, so moving forward let's always check them.

After upgrading build guests to v6.3, rpm started segfaulting for
specific packages, which was bisected to commit 0503ea8f5b ("mm/mmap:
remove __vma_adjust()"). rpm is doing many mremap() operations with file
mappings of its db. The problem is that in vma_merge() case 3 (we merge
with the next vma, expanding it downwards) vm_pgoff is not adjusted as
it should when vm_start changes. As a result the rpm process most likely
sees data from the wrong offset of the file. Fix the vm_pgoff
calculation.
For case 8 this is a non-functional change as the resulting vm_pgoff is
the same.

Instead of having callers care about the mmap_min_addr logic for the
lowest valid mapping address (and some of them getting it wrong), just
move the logic into vm_unmapped_area() itself. One less thing for various
architecture cases (and generic helpers) to worry about.
We should really try to make much more of this be common code, but baby
steps..
Without this, vm_unmapped_area() could return an address below
mmap_min_addr (because some caller forgot about that). That then causes
the mmap machinery to think it has found a workable address, but then
later security_mmap_addr(addr) is unhappy about it and the mmap() returns
with a nonsensical error (EPERM).
The proper action is to either return ENOMEM (if the virtual address space
is exhausted), or try to find another address (ie do a bottom-up search
for free addresses after the top-down one failed).
See commit 2afc745f3e ("mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher
address than mmap_min_addr"), which fixed this for one call site (the
generic arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() fallback) but left other cases
alone.

Patch series "mm: process/cgroup ksm support", v9.
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
Use case 1:
The madvise call is not available in the programming language. An
example for this are programs with forked workloads using a garbage
collected language without pointers. In such a language madvise cannot
be made available.
In addition the addresses of objects get moved around as they are
garbage collected. KSM sharing needs to be enabled "from the outside"
for these type of workloads.
Use case 2:
The same interpreter can also be used for workloads where KSM brings
no benefit or even has overhead. We'd like to be able to enable KSM on
a workload by workload basis.
Use case 3:
With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the
current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number
of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs (if
they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level entity
like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running
one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have
the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted madvise
calls.
Security concerns:
In previous discussions security concerns have been brought up. The
problem is that an individual workload does not have the knowledge about
what else is running on a machine. Therefore it has to be very
conservative in what memory areas can be shared or not. However, if the
system is dedicated to running multiple jobs within the same security
domain, its the job scheduler that has the knowledge that sharing can be
safely enabled and is even desirable.
Performance:
Experiments with using UKSM have shown a capacity increase of around 20%.
Here are the metrics from an instagram workload (taken from a machine
with 64GB main memory):
full_scans: 445
general_profit: 20158298048
max_page_sharing: 256
merge_across_nodes: 1
pages_shared: 129547
pages_sharing: 5119146
pages_to_scan: 4000
pages_unshared: 1760924
pages_volatile: 10761341
run: 1
sleep_millisecs: 20
stable_node_chains: 167
stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs: 2000
stable_node_dups: 2751
use_zero_pages: 0
zero_pages_sharing: 0
After the service is running for 30 minutes to an hour, 4 to 5 million
shared pages are common for this workload when using KSM.
Detailed changes:
1. New options for prctl system command
This patch series adds two new options to the prctl system call.
The first one allows to enable KSM at the process level and the second
one to query the setting.
The setting will be inherited by child processes.
With the above setting, KSM can be enabled for the seed process of a cgroup
and all processes in the cgroup will inherit the setting.
2. Changes to KSM processing
When KSM is enabled at the process level, the KSM code will iterate
over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's.
When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be
inherited by the new child process.
3. Add general_profit metric
The general_profit metric of KSM is specified in the documentation,
but not calculated. This adds the general profit metric to
/sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm.
4. Add more metrics to ksm_stat
This adds the process profit metric to /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
5. Add more tests to ksm_tests and ksm_functional_tests
This adds an option to specify the merge type to the ksm_tests.
This allows to test madvise and prctl KSM.
It also adds a two new tests to ksm_functional_tests: one to test
the new prctl options and the other one is a fork test to verify that
the KSM process setting is inherited by client processes.
This patch (of 3):
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
1. New options for prctl system command

over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's.
When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be
inherited by the new child process.
1) Introduce new MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag
This introduces the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. When this flag
is set, kernel samepage merging (ksm) gets enabled for all vma's of a
process.
2) Setting VM_MERGEABLE on VMA creation
When a VMA is created, if the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is set, the
VM_MERGEABLE flag will be set for this VMA.
3) support disabling of ksm for a process
This adds the ability to disable ksm for a process if ksm has been
enabled for the process with prctl.
4) add new prctl option to get and set ksm for a process
This adds two new options to the prctl system call
- enable ksm for all vmas of a process (if the vmas support it).
- query if ksm has been enabled for a process.
3. Disabling MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY for storage keys in s390
In the s390 architecture when storage keys are used, the
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY will be disabled.

call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its
use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when
multiple VMAs are being freed.
Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its
refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other
possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized
using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without
the use of call_rcu().
Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible
call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

Normally free_pgtables needs to lock affected VMAs except for the case
when VMAs were isolated under VMA write-lock. munmap() does just that,
isolating while holding appropriate locks and then downgrading mmap_lock
and dropping per-VMA locks before freeing page tables. Add a parameter to
free_pgtables for such scenario.

Rather than setting err = -1 and only resetting if we hit merge cases,
explicitly check the non-mergeable case to make it abundantly clear that
we only proceed with the rest if something is mergeable, default err to 0
and only update if an error might occur.
Move the merge_prev, merge_next cases closer to the logic determining
curr, next and reorder initial variables so they are more logically
grouped.
This has no functional impact.

assigned as a result of the logic covering all possible input cases - for
it to have remained uninitialised, prev would have to be NULL, and next
would _have_ to be mergeable.
The value of res defaults to NULL, so we can neatly eliminate the
assignment to res and vma in the if (prev) block and ensure that both res
and vma are both explicitly assigned, by just setting both to prev.
In addition we add an explanation as to under what circumstances both
might change, and since we absolutely do rely on addr == curr->vm_start
should curr exist, assert that this is the case.

Use find_vma_intersection() and vma_lookup() to both simplify the logic
and to fold the end == next->vm_start condition into one block.
This groups all of the simple range checks together and establishes the
invariant that, if prev, curr or next are non-NULL then their positions
are as expected.
This has no functional impact.

Patch series "further cleanup of vma_merge()", v2.
Following on from Vlastimil Babka's patch series "cleanup vma_merge() and
improve mergeability tests" which was in turn based on Liam's prior
cleanups, this patch series introduces changes discussed in review of
Vlastimil's series and goes further in attempting to make the logic as
clear as possible.
Nearly all of this should have absolutely no functional impact, however it
does add a singular VM_WARN_ON() case.
With many thanks to Vernon for helping kick start the discussion around
simplification - abstract use of vma did indeed turn out not to be
necessary - and to Liam for his excellent suggestions which greatly
simplified things.
This patch (of 4):
Previously the ASCII diagram above vma_merge() and the accompanying
variable naming was rather confusing, however recent efforts by Liam
Howlett and Vlastimil Babka have significantly improved matters.
This patch goes a little further - replacing 'X' with 'N' which feels a
lot more natural and replacing what was 'N' with 'C' which stands for
'concurrent' VMA.
No word quite describes a VMA that has coincident start as the input span,
concurrent, abbreviated to 'curr' (and which can be thought of also as
'current') however fits intuitions well alongside prev and next.
This has no functional impact.

Since pre-git times, is_mergeable_vma() returns false for a vma with
vm_ops->close, so that no owner assumptions are violated in case the vma
is removed as part of the merge.
This check is currently very conservative and can prevent merging even
situations where vma can't be removed, such as simple expansion of
previous vma, as evidenced by commit d014cd7c1c ("mm, mremap: fix
mremap() expanding for vma's with vm_ops->close()")
In order to allow more merging when appropriate and simplify the code that
was made more complex by commit d014cd7c1c, start distinguishing cases
where the vma can be really removed, and allow merging with vm_ops->close
otherwise.
As a first step, add a may_remove_vma parameter to is_mergeable_vma().
can_vma_merge_before() sets it to true, because when called from
vma_merge(), a removal of the vma is possible.
In can_vma_merge_after(), pass the parameter as false, because no
removal can occur in each of its callers:
- vma_merge() calls it on the 'prev' vma, which is never removed
- mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() call it to determine if it can expand
a vma, which is not removed
As a result, vma's with vm_ops->close may now merge with compatible ranges
in more situations than previously. We can also revert commit
d014cd7c1c as the next step to simplify mremap code again.

The variable 'adj_next' holds the value by which we adjust vm_start of a
vma in variable 'adjust', that's either 'next' or 'mid', so the current
name is inaccurate. Rename it to 'adj_start'.

There are several places where we test if 'mid' is really the area NNNN in
the diagram and the tests have two variants and are non-obvious to follow.
Instead, set 'mid' to NULL up-front if it's not the NNNN area, and
simplify the tests.
Also update the description in comment accordingly.

It is more intuitive to go from prev to mid and then next. No functional

Almost all cases now use the 'next' pointer for the vma following the
merged area, and the cases diagram shows it as XXXX. Case 4 is different
as it uses 'mid' and NNNN, so change it for consistency. No functional
change.
