commit f66066bc5136f25e36a2daff4896c768f18c211e upstream.

While our user stacks can grow either down (all common architectures) or
up (parisc and the ia64 register stack), the initial stack setup when we
copy the argument and environment strings to the new stack at execve()
time is always done by extending the stack downwards.

But it turns out that in commit 8d7071af8907 ("mm: always expand the
stack with the mmap write lock held"), as part of making the stack
growing code more robust, 'expand_downwards()' was now made to actually
check the vma flags:

	if (!(vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; VM_GROWSDOWN))
		return -EFAULT;

and that meant that this execve-time stack expansion started failing on
parisc, because on that architecture, the stack flags do not contain the
VM_GROWSDOWN bit.

At the same time the new check in expand_downwards() is clearly correct,
and simplified the callers, so let's not remove it.

The solution is instead to just codify the fact that yes, during
execve(), the stack grows down.  This not only matches reality, it ends
up being particularly simple: we already have special execve-time flags
for the stack (VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP) and use those flags to avoid
page migration during this setup time (see vma_is_temporary_stack() and
invalid_migration_vma()).

So just add VM_GROWSDOWN to that set of temporary flags, and now our
stack flags automatically match reality, and the parisc stack expansion
works again.

Note that the VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP bits will be cleared when the
stack is finalized, so we only add the extra VM_GROWSDOWN bit on
CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP architectures (ie parisc) rather than adding it in
general.

<title>xtensa: fix NOMMU build with lock_mm_and_find_vma() conversion</title>

commit d85a143b69abb4d7544227e26d12c4c7735ab27d upstream.

It turns out that xtensa has a really odd configuration situation: you
can do a no-MMU config, but still have the page fault code enabled.
Which doesn't sound all that sensible, but it turns out that xtensa can
have protection faults even without the MMU, and we have this:

    config PFAULT
        bool "Handle protection faults" if EXPERT &amp;&amp; !MMU
        default y
        help
          Handle protection faults. MMU configurations must enable it.
          noMMU configurations may disable it if used memory map never
          generates protection faults or faults are always fatal.

          If unsure, say Y.

which completely violated my expectations of the page fault handling.

End result: Guenter reports that the xtensa no-MMU builds all fail with

  arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c: In function ‘do_page_fault’:
  arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c:133:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘lock_mm_and_find_vma’

because I never exposed the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() function for the
no-MMU case.

Doing so is simple enough, and fixes the problem.

commit 8d7071af890768438c14db6172cc8f9f4d04e184 upstream.

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.

commit f440fa1ac955e2898893f9301568435eb5cdfc4b upstream.

Make calls to extend_vma() and find_extend_vma() fail if the write lock
is required.

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
cases until they have been fully converted to the new world order.

commit c2508ec5a58db67093f4fb8bf89a9a7c53a109e9 upstream.

.. and make x86 use it.

This basically extracts the existing x86 "find and expand faulting vma"
code, but extends it to also take the mmap lock for writing in case we
actually do need to expand the vma.

We've historically short-circuited that case, and have some rather ugly
special logic to serialize the stack segment expansion (since we only
hold the mmap lock for reading) that doesn't match the normal VM
locking.

That slight violation of locking worked well, right up until it didn't:
the maple tree code really does want proper locking even for simple
extension of an existing vma.

So extract the code for "look up the vma of the fault" from x86, fix it
up to do the necessary write locking, and make it available as a helper
function for other architectures that can use the common helper.

Note: I say "common helper", but it really only handles the normal
stack-grows-down case.  Which is all architectures except for PA-RISC
and IA64.  So some rare architectures can't use the helper, but if they
care they'll just need to open-code this logic.

It's also worth pointing out that this code really would like to have an
optimistic "mmap_upgrade_trylock()" to make it quicker to go from a
read-lock (for the common case) to taking the write lock (for having to
extend the vma) in the normal single-threaded situation where there is
no other locking activity.

But that _is_ all the very uncommon special case, so while it would be
nice to have such an operation, it probably doesn't matter in reality.
I did put in the skeleton code for such a possible future expansion,
even if it only acts as pseudo-documentation for what we're doing.

commit 87a7ae75d7383afa998f57656d1d14e2a730cc47 upstream.

commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for
compound devmaps") added support for using optimized vmmemap for devdax
devices.  But how vmemmap mappings are created are architecture specific.
For example, powerpc with hash translation doesn't have vmemmap mappings
in init_mm page table instead they are bolted table entries in the
hardware page table

vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() used by vmemmap optimization code is not
aware of these architecture-specific mapping.  Hence allow architecture to
opt for this feature.  I selected architectures supporting
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP option as also supporting this feature.

This patch fixes the below crash on ppc64.

commit 87a7ae75d7383afa998f57656d1d14e2a730cc47 upstream.

commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for
compound devmaps") added support for using optimized vmmemap for devdax
devices.  But how vmemmap mappings are created are architecture specific.
For example, powerpc with hash translation doesn't have vmemmap mappings
in init_mm page table instead they are bolted table entries in the
hardware page table

vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() used by vmemmap optimization code is not
aware of these architecture-specific mapping.  Hence allow architecture to
opt for this feature.  I selected architectures supporting
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP option as also supporting this feature.

This patch fixes the below crash on ppc64.

   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve the scalability of the CFS bandwidth unthrottling logic with
   large number of CPUs.

 - Fix &amp; rework various cpuidle routines, simplify interaction with the
   generic scheduler code. Add __cpuidle methods as noinstr to objtool's
   noinstr detection and fix boatloads of cpuidle bugs &amp; quirks.

 - Add new ABI: introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS, to query
   previously issued registrations.

 - Limit scheduler slice duration to the sysctl_sched_latency period, to
   improve scheduling granularity with a large number of SCHED_IDLE
   tasks.

 - Debuggability enhancement on sys_exit(): warn about disabled IRQs,
   but also enable them to prevent a cascade of followup problems and
   repeat warnings.

 - Fix the rescheduling logic in prio_changed_dl().

 - Micro-optimize cpufreq and sched-util methods.

 - Micro-optimize ttwu_runnable()

 - Micro-optimize the idle-scanning in update_numa_stats(),
   select_idle_capacity() and steal_cookie_task().

 - Update the RSEQ code &amp; self-tests

 - Constify various scheduler methods

 - Remove unused methods

 - Refine __init tags

 - Documentation updates

 - Misc other cleanups, fixes

Pull TEE update from Jens Wiklander:
 "Remove get_kernel_pages()

  Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the
  get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no
  remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed"

[ This looks like it's just some random 'tee' cleanup, but the bigger
  picture impetus for this is really to to to remove historical
  confusion with mixed use of kernel virtual addresses and 'struct page'
  pointers.

  Kernel virtual pointers in the vmalloc space is then particularly
  confusing - both for looking up a page pointer (when trying to then
  unify a "virtual address or page" interface) and _particularly_ when
  mixed with HIGHMEM support and the kmap*() family of remapping.

  This is particularly true with HIGHMEM getting much less test coverage
  with 32-bit architectures being increasingly legacy targets.

  So we actively wanted to remove get_kernel_pages() to make sure nobody
  else used it too, and thus the 'tee' part is "finally remove last
  user".

  See also commit 6647e76ab623 ("v4l2: don't fall back to follow_pfn()
  if pin_user_pages_fast() fails") for a totally different version of a
  conceptually similar "let's stop this confusion of different ways of
  referring to memory".   - Linus ]

Patch series "Convert a couple migrate functions to use folios", v2.

This patchset introduces folio_movable_ops() and converts 3 functions in
mm/migrate.c to use folios.  It also introduces folio_get_nontail_page()
for folio conversions which may want to distinguish between head and tail
pages.


This patch (of 4):

folio_get_nontail_page() returns the folio associated with a head page. 
This is necessary for folio conversions where the behavior of that
function differs between head pages and tail pages.
