Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory

   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to
decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation.

Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading
is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when
counting the PLTs.

Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is
disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some
modules, resulting in warnings:

modules: only allow symbol_get of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules 2023-08-02T18:18:22+00:00 Christoph Hellwig hch@lst.de 2023-08-01T17:35:44+00:00 9011e49d54dcc7653ebb8a1e05b5badb5ecfa9f9 It has recently come to my attention that nvidia is circumventing the protection added in 262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE") by importing exports from their proprietary modules into an allegedly GPL licensed module and then rexporting them.

module: fix init_module_from_file() error handling 2023-07-04T17:17:11+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2023-07-04T13:37:32+00:00 f1962207150c8b602e980616f04b37ea4e64bb9f Vegard Nossum pointed out two different problems with the error handling in init_module_from_file(): (a) the idempotent loading code didn't clean up properly in some error cases, leaving the on-stack 'struct idempotent' element still in the hash table (b) failure to read the module file would nonsensically update the 'invalid_kread_bytes' stat counter with the error value The first error is quite nasty, in that it can then cause subsequent idempotent loads of that same file to access stale stack contents of the previous failure.

Vegard Nossum pointed out two different problems with the error handling
in init_module_from_file():

 (a) the idempotent loading code didn't clean up properly in some error
     cases, leaving the on-stack 'struct idempotent' element still in
     the hash table

 (b) failure to read the module file would nonsensically update the
     'invalid_kread_bytes' stat counter with the error value

The first error is quite nasty, in that it can then cause subsequent
idempotent loads of that same file to access stale stack contents of the
previous failure.  The case may not happen in any normal situation
(explaining all the "Tested-by's on the original change), and requires
admin privileges, but syzkaller triggers random bad behavior as a
result:

    BUG: soft lockup in sys_finit_module
    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in init_module_from_file
    general protection fault in init_module_from_file
    INFO: task hung in init_module_from_file
    KASAN: out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
    KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
    ...

The second error is fairly benign and just leads to nonsensical stats
(and has been around since the debug stats were added).

Vegard also provided a patch for the idempotent loading issue, but I'd
rather re-organize the code and make it more legible using another level
of helper functions than add the usual "goto out" error handling.
