commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream.

As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix
huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations
where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page
tables that it severely regresses some workloads.

In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large
area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per
unshared PMD table.

There are two optimizations to be had:

(1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during
    exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as
    we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table.

    Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before
    we drop the lock.

(2) When we are not the last sharer (&gt; 2 users including us), there is
    no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot
    become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted
    by the last sharer.

    Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we
    unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the
    shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed
    an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just
    sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs.

    Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are
    no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI
    broadcast.

    (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast
     after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle
     this)

So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather
infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the
code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to
deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation.

To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single
VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide
tlb_gather_mmu_vma().

We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in
tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track
in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables.

Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be
prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead
require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables().

&gt;From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure
that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is
still held.

Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that
tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier.

Document it all properly.

Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing:

There are two fairly tricky things:

(1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

    Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an
    IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb-&gt;freed_tables is set.

    The relevant architectures should be selecting
    MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable
    kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch.

    Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different
    when tlb-&gt;freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also
    take care of tlb-&gt;unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so
    hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting
    tlb-&gt;freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush
    too much, because the semantics of tlb-&gt;freed_tables are a bit
    fuzzy.

    This patch changes nothing in this regard.

(2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync.

    Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB)
    we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the
    second tlb_remove_table_sync_one().

    This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in
    tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as
    described in (1), it really must honor tlb-&gt;freed_tables then to
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs.

Notes on TLB flushing changes:

(1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables

    We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the
    MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to
    __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine.

(2) Flushing for shared PMD tables

    We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(),
    tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range().

    tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios.
    Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls
    __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on
    powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing.

    Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB
    flushing keeps on working as expected.

Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a
concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing
concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed
separately as a cleanup later.

There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until
this is fixed.

The folio refcount may be increased unexpectly through try_get_folio() by
caller such as split_huge_pages.  In huge_pmd_unshare(), we use refcount
to check whether a pmd page table is shared.  The check is incorrect if
the refcount is increased by the above caller, and this can cause the page
table leaked:

The issue may be triggered by damon, offline_page, page_idle, etc, which
will increase the refcount of page table.

1. The page table itself will be discarded after reporting the
   "nonzero mapcount".

2. The HugeTLB page mapped by the page table miss freeing since we
   treat the page table as shared and a shared page table will not be
   unmapped.

Fix it by introducing independent PMD page table shared count.  As
described by comment, pt_index/pt_mm/pt_frag_refcount are used for s390
gmap, x86 pgds and powerpc, pt_share_count is used for x86/arm64/riscv
pmds, so we can reuse the field as pt_share_count.

The issue may be triggered by damon, offline_page, page_idle, etc, which
will increase the refcount of page table.

1. The page table itself will be discarded after reporting the
   "nonzero mapcount".

2. The HugeTLB page mapped by the page table miss freeing since we
   treat the page table as shared and a shared page table will not be
   unmapped.

Fix it by introducing independent PMD page table shared count.  As
described by comment, pt_index/pt_mm/pt_frag_refcount are used for s390
gmap, x86 pgds and powerpc, pt_share_count is used for x86/arm64/riscv
pmds, so we can reuse the field as pt_share_count.

[ Upstream commit 2e3025434a6ba090c85871a1d4080ff784109e1f ]

0day robot reported a 9.2% regression for will-it-scale mmap1 test
case[1], caused by commit 57efa1fe5957 ("mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from
racing with COW during fork").

Further debug shows the regression is due to that commit changes the
offset of hot fields 'mmap_lock' inside structure 'mm_struct', thus some
cache alignment changes.

From the perf data, the contention for 'mmap_lock' is very severe and
takes around 95% cpu cycles, and it is a rw_semaphore

        struct rw_semaphore {
                atomic_long_t count;	/* 8 bytes */
                atomic_long_t owner;	/* 8 bytes */
                struct optimistic_spin_queue osq; /* spinner MCS lock */
                ...

Before commit 57efa1fe5957 adds the 'write_protect_seq', it happens to
have a very optimal cache alignment layout, as Linus explained:

 "and before the addition of the 'write_protect_seq' field, the
  mmap_sem was at offset 120 in 'struct mm_struct'.

  Which meant that count and owner were in two different cachelines,
  and then when you have contention and spend time in
  rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), this is probably *exactly* the kind
  of layout you want.

  Because first the rwsem_write_trylock() will do a cmpxchg on the
  first cacheline (for the optimistic fast-path), and then in the
  case of contention, rwsem_down_write_slowpath() will just access
  the second cacheline.

  Which is probably just optimal for a load that spends a lot of
  time contended - new waiters touch that first cacheline, and then
  they queue themselves up on the second cacheline."

After the commit, the rw_semaphore is at offset 128, which means the
'count' and 'owner' fields are now in the same cacheline, and causes
more cache bouncing.

Currently there are 3 "#ifdef CONFIG_XXX" before 'mmap_lock' which will
affect its offset:

  CONFIG_MMU
  CONFIG_MEMBARRIER
  CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPAT_MMAP_BASES

The layout above is on 64 bits system with 0day's default kernel config
(similar to RHEL-8.3's config), in which all these 3 options are 'y'.
And the layout can vary with different kernel configs.

Relayouting a structure is usually a double-edged sword, as sometimes it
can helps one case, but hurt other cases.  For this case, one solution
is, as the newly added 'write_protect_seq' is a 4 bytes long seqcount_t
(when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n), placing it into an existing 4 bytes
hole in 'mm_struct' will not change other fields' alignment, while
restoring the regression.

commit 9ddb3c14afba8bc5950ed297f02d4ae05ff35cd1 upstream.

32-bit architectures which expect 8-byte alignment for 8-byte integers and
need 64-bit DMA addresses (arm, mips, ppc) had their struct page
inadvertently expanded in 2019.  When the dma_addr_t was added, it forced
the alignment of the union to 8 bytes, which inserted a 4 byte gap between
'flags' and the union.

Fix this by storing the dma_addr_t in one or two adjacent unsigned longs.
This restores the alignment to that of an unsigned long.  We always
store the low bits in the first word to prevent the PageTail bit from
being inadvertently set on a big endian platform.  If that happened,
get_user_pages_fast() racing against a page which was freed and
reallocated to the page_pool could dereference a bogus compound_head(),
which would be hard to trace back to this cause.

[ Upstream commit 82e69a121be4b1597ce758534816a8ee04c8b761 ]

When a new mm is created, its PASID should be cleared, i.e.  the PASID is
initialized to its init state 0 on both ARM and X86.

This patch was part of the series introducing mm-&gt;pasid, but got lost
along the way [1].  It still makes sense to have it, because each address
space has a different PASID.  And the IOMMU code in
iommu_sva_alloc_pasid() expects the pasid field of a new mm struct to be
cleared.

[ Upstream commit 57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0 ]

Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork.  This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.

However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:

        CPU 0                             CPU 1
   get_user_pages_fast()
    internal_get_user_pages_fast()
                                       copy_page_range()
                                         pte_alloc_map_lock()
                                           copy_present_page()
                                             atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
					     page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
     atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
     gup_pgd_range()
      gup_pte_range()
       pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
       pte_access_permitted(pte)
       try_grab_compound_head()
                                             pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
	                                     set_pte_at();
                                         pte_unmap_unlock()
      // GUP now returns with a write protected page

The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

	                                     set_pte_at();
                                         pte_unmap_unlock()
      // GUP now returns with a write protected page

The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Pull x86 PASID updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "Initial support for sharing virtual addresses between the CPU and
  devices which doesn't need pinning of pages for DMA anymore.

  Add support for the command submission to devices using new x86
  instructions like ENQCMD{,S} and MOVDIR64B. In addition, add support
  for process address space identifiers (PASIDs) which are referenced by
  those command submission instructions along with the handling of the
  PASID state on context switch as another extended state.

  Work by Fenghua Yu, Ashok Raj, Yu-cheng Yu and Dave Jiang"

(Commit message majorly collected from Jason Gunthorpe)

Reduce the chance of false positive from page_maybe_dma_pinned() by
keeping track if the mm_struct has ever been used with pin_user_pages().
This allows cases that might drive up the page ref_count to avoid any
penalty from handling dma_pinned pages.

Future work is planned, to provide a more sophisticated solution, likely
to turn it into a real counter.  For now, make it atomic_t but use it as
a boolean for simplicity.

A PASID is shared by all threads in a process. So the logical place to
keep track of it is in the mm_struct. Both ARM and x86 would use this
PASID.

Patch series "THP prep patches".

These are some generic cleanups and improvements, which I would like
merged into mmotm soon.  The first one should be a performance improvement
for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code
to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small
systems).  Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix
mixture of compound, hpage and thp.

This patch (of 7):

This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many
pages are in a compound page.  The storage used is either page-&gt;mapping on
64-bit or page-&gt;index on 32-bit.  Both of these are fine to overlay on
tail pages.
