This might_sleep() goes back a long time: it was originally introduced
way back when by commit 010060741ad3 ("x86: add might_sleep() to
do_page_fault()"), and made it into the generic VM code when the x86
fault path got re-organized and generalized in commit c2508ec5a58d ("mm:
introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper").

However, it turns out that the placement of that might_sleep() has
always been rather questionable simply because it's not only a debug
statement to warn about sleeping in contexts that shouldn't sleep (which
was the original reason for adding it), but it also implies a voluntary
scheduling point.

That, in turn, is less than desirable for two reasons:

 (a) it ends up being done after we successfully got the mmap_lock, so
     just as we got the lock we will now eagerly schedule away and
     increase lock contention

and

 (b) this is all very possibly part of the "oops, things went horribly
     wrong" path and we just haven't figured that out yet

After all, the whole _reason_ for having that get_mmap_lock_carefully()
rather than just doing the obvious mmap_read_lock() is because this code
wants to deal somewhat gracefully with potential kernel wild pointer
bugs.

So then a voluntary scheduling point here is simply not a good idea.

We could certainly turn the 'might_sleep()' into a '__might_sleep()' and
make it be just the debug check that it was originally intended to be.

But even that seems questionable in the wild kernel pointer case - which
again is part of the whole point of this code.  The problem wouldn't be
about the _sleeping_ part of the page fault, but about a bad kernel
access.  The fact that that bad kernel access might happen in a section
that you shouldn't sleep in is secondary.

So it really ends up being the case that this is simply entirely the
wrong place to do this debug check and related scheduling point at all.

So let's just remove the check entirely.  It's been around for over a
decade, it has served its purpose.

The re-schedule will happen at return to user space anyway for the
normal case, and the warning - if we even need it - might be better off
done as a special case for "page fault from kernel mode" once we've
dealt with any potential kernel oopses where the oops is the relevant
thing, not some artificial "scheduling while atomic" test.

GDB uses /proc/PID/mem to access memory of the target process. GDB
doesn't untag addresses manually, but relies on kernel to do the right
thing.

mem_rw() of procfs uses access_remote_vm() to get data from the target
process. It worked fine until recent changes in __access_remote_vm()
that now checks if there's VMA at target address using raw address.

Untag the address before looking up the VMA.

lock_vma_under_rcu() tries to guarantee that __anon_vma_prepare() can't
be called in the VMA-locked page fault path by ensuring that
vma-&gt;anon_vma is set.

However, this check happens before the VMA is locked, which means a
concurrent move_vma() can concurrently call unlink_anon_vmas(), which
disassociates the VMA's anon_vma.

This means we can get UAF in the following scenario:

  THREAD 1                   THREAD 2
  ========                   ========

                  find_mergeable_anon_vma()

                    reusable_anon_vma() [called on freed VMA X]

This is a security bug if you can hit it, although an attacker would
have to win two races at once where the first race window is only a few
instructions wide.

This patch is based on some previous discussion with Linus Torvalds on
the security list.

Commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()") moved
the call to swap_free() before the call to set_pte_at(), which meant that
the MTE tags could end up being freed before set_pte_at() had a chance to
restore them.  Fix it by adding a call to the arch_swap_restore() hook
before the call to swap_free().

In commit a425ac5365f6 ("gup: add warning if some caller would seem to
want stack expansion") I added a temporary warning to catch any strange
GUP users that would be impacted by the fact that GUP no longer extends
the stack.

But it turns out that the warning is most easily triggered through
__access_remote_vm(), that already knows to expand the stack - it just
does it *after* calling GUP.  So the warning is easy to trigger by just
running gdb (or similar) and accessing things remotely under the stack.

This just adds a temporary extra "expand stack early" to avoid the
warning for the already converted case - not because the warning is bad,
but because getting the warning for this known good case would then hide
any subsequent warnings for any actually interesting cases.

Let's try to remember to revert this change when we remove the warnings.

<id>9471f1f2f50282b9e8f59198ec6bb738b4ccc009</id>

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.

It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.

And it worked fine.  We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm-&gt;page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.

That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken.  Oops.

It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful.  We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:

 - the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
   fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
   something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
   of twisty little passages, all alike.

 - the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
   There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
   VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
   unhappy if you get it wrong.

 - and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
   expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
   we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
   memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
   stack as a special case.

None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times.  And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.

So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.

Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa.  So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.

And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.

That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern.  Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.

So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion.  The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".

The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.

And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).

In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().

Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else.  Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.

Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.

Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch.  That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.

It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.

And it worked fine.  We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm-&gt;page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.

That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken.  Oops.

It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful.  We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:

 - the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
   fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
   something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
   of twisty little passages, all alike.

 - the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
   There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
   VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
   unhappy if you get it wrong.

 - and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
   expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
   we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
   memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
   stack as a special case.

None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times.  And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.

So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.

Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa.  So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.

And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.

That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern.  Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.

So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion.  The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".

The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.

And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).

In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
  release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
  got it to a reasonable point.

  Core:

   - Rework the sendpage &amp; splice implementations

     Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
     handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
     new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

     Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
     additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
     combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is

     Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely

   - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
     SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid

   - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT

   - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker

   - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families

  Protocols:

   - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
     sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
     tcp_rmem[2]

   - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy

   - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
     that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags

   - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
     linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative

   - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
     (MPTCP_FULL_INFO)

   - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
     record

   - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
     way to issuing ioctls over io_uring

   - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
     encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address

   - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
     in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
     link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch

   - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable

   - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
     (ipconfig)

   - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
     (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
     packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)

   - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets

   - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
     printk level to debug

   - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto

   - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4

   - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7

  BPF:

   - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
     maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
     in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
     especially those using open-coded iterators

   - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
     assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
     But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
     output buffer *should* be, without writing anything

   - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers

   - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper

   - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands

   - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
     maps as read-only)

   - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo

   - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
     self-explanatory):
      - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
        bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
        and bpf_dynptr_clone().
      - bpf_task_under_cgroup()
      - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
      - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs

  Netfilter:

   - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
     presence of an entry in a map without using the value

   - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds

   - Allow updating size of a set

   - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing

  Driver API:

   - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
     "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
     (i.e. packets coming in and out)

   - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules

   - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
     common helper routines

   - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
     associated with the PCS layer

   - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
     scheduler offload (taprio)

<title>mm: fix __access_remote_vm() GUP failure case</title>

Commit ca5e863233e8 ("mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from
get_user_pages_remote()") removed the vma argument from GUP handling,
and instead added a helper function (get_user_page_vma_remote()) that
looks it up separately using 'vma_lookup()'.  And then converted
existing users that needed a vma to use the helper instead.

However, the helper function intentionally acts exactly like the old
get_user_pages_remote() did, and only fills in 'vma' on successful page
lookup.  Fine so far.

However, __access_remote_vm() wants the vma even for the unsuccessful
case, and used to do a

	vma = vma_lookup(mm, addr);

explicitly to look it up when the get_user_page() failed.

However, that conversion commit incorrectly removed that vma lookup,
thinking that get_user_page_vma_remote() would have done it.  Not so.

So add the vma_lookup() back in.

<title>mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held</title>

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.

<title>mm: make find_extend_vma() fail if write lock not held</title>

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.
