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.

   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

<title>mm: ksm: support hwpoison for ksm page</title>

<content type='text'>
hwpoison_user_mappings() is updated to support ksm pages, and add
collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an ksm page. 
The difference from collect_procs_anon() is that it also needs to traverse
the rmap-item list on the stable node of the ksm page.  At the same time,
add_to_kill_ksm() is added to handle ksm pages.  And
task_in_to_kill_list() is added to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to the
to_kill list.  This is because when scanning the list, if the pages that
make up the ksm page all come from the same process, they may be added
repeatedly.

<title>mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults</title>

<content type='text'>
copy-on-write of hugetlb user pages with uncorrectable errors will result
in a kernel crash.  This is because the copy is performed in kernel mode
and in general we can not handle accessing memory with such errors while
in kernel mode.  Commit a873dfe1032a ("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from
copy-on write faults") introduced the routine copy_user_highpage_mc() to
gracefully handle copying of user pages with uncorrectable errors. 
However, the separate hugetlb copy-on-write code paths were not modified
as part of commit a873dfe1032a.

Modify hugetlb copy-on-write code paths to use copy_mc_user_highpage() so
that they can also gracefully handle uncorrectable errors in user pages. 
This involves changing the hugetlb specific routine
copy_user_large_folio() from type void to int so that it can return an
error.  Modify the hugetlb userfaultfd code in the same way so that it can
return -EHWPOISON if it encounters an uncorrectable error.
