[ Upstream commit 517e8a7835e8cfb398a0aeb0133de50e31cae32b ]

On an aarch64 kernel with CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y,
arena_htab tests cause a segmentation fault and soft lockup.
The same failure is not observed with 4k pages on aarch64.

It turns out arena_map_free() is calling
apply_to_existing_page_range() with the address returned by
bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start().  If this address is not page-aligned
the code ends up calling apply_to_pte_range() with that unaligned
address causing soft lockup.

Fix it by round up GUARD_SZ to PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; 1 so that the
division by 2 in bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start() returns
a page-aligned value.

Fixes: 317460317a02 ("bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.")

Do not allocate BPF arena on arches that do not support it, instead
return EOPNOTSUPP. This is useful to prevent bugs such as soft lockups
while trying to free the arena which we have witnessed on ppc64le [1].

Introduce range_tree data structure and use it in bpf arena to track
ranges of allocated pages. range_tree is a large bitmap that is
implemented as interval tree plus rbtree. The contiguous sequence of

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

   - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

   - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

   - Also some maintenance work in the series
	"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
	"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

   - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
     series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
     XFAIL".

     reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

   - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
     "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

As the comment described in "struct vm_fault":
	".address"      : 'Faulting virtual address - masked'
	".real_address" : 'Faulting virtual address - unmasked'

The link [1] said: "Whatever the routes, all architectures end up to the
invocation of handle_mm_fault() which, in turn, (likely) ends up calling
__handle_mm_fault() to carry out the actual work of allocating the page
tables."

  __handle_mm_fault() does address assignment:
	.address = address &amp; PAGE_MASK,
	.real_address = address,

This is debug dump by running `./test_progs -a "*arena*"`:

[   69.767494] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 10000001d000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 10000001d008
[   69.767496] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 10000001c000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 10000001c008
[   69.767499] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 10000001b000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 10000001b008
[   69.767501] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 10000001a000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 10000001a008
[   69.767504] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 100000019000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 100000019008
[   69.769388] arena fault: vmf-&gt;address = 10000001e000, vmf-&gt;real_address = 10000001e1e8

So we can use the value of 'vmf-&gt;address' to do BPF arena kernel address
space cast directly.

<title>mm: switch mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() to a flag</title>

<id>529ce23a764f25d172198b4c6ba90f1e2ad17f93</id>
<content type='text'>
The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.

Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required.  In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments.  So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.

Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags().  Most MM flags get clobbered on fork.  In the
pre-existing behavior mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.

Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag.  Then drop the mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() function pointer.  Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone.  The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.

The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel.  On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.

In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. 
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.
