random: move randomize_page() into mm where it belongs

2022-06-25T09:45:15+00:00

commit 5ad7dd882e45d7fe432c32e896e2aaa0b21746ea upstream.

randomize_page is an mm function. It is documented like one. It contains
the history of one. It has the naming convention of one. It looks
just like another very similar function in mm, randomize_stack_top().
And it has always been maintained and updated by mm people. There is no
need for it to be in random.c. In the "which shape does not look like
the other ones" test, pointing to randomize_page() is correct.

So move randomize_page() into mm/util.c, right next to the similar
randomize_stack_top() function.

This commit contains no actual code changes.

mm: page_mapped: don't assume compound page is huge or THP

2019-01-16T21:12:32+00:00

commit 8ab88c7169b7fba98812ead6524b9d05bc76cf00 upstream.

LTP proc01 testcase has been observed to rarely trigger crashes
on arm64:
    page_mapped+0x78/0xb4
    stable_page_flags+0x27c/0x338
    kpageflags_read+0xfc/0x164
    proc_reg_read+0x7c/0xb8
    __vfs_read+0x58/0x178
    vfs_read+0x90/0x14c
    SyS_read+0x60/0xc0

The issue is that page_mapped() assumes that if compound page is not
huge, then it must be THP.  But if this is 'normal' compound page
(COMPOUND_PAGE_DTOR), then following loop can keep running (for
HPAGE_PMD_NR iterations) until it tries to read from memory that isn't
mapped and triggers a panic:

        for (i = 0; i < hpage_nr_pages(page); i++) {
                if (atomic_read(&page[i]._mapcount) >= 0)
                        return true;
	}

I could replicate this on x86 (v4.20-rc4-98-g60b548237fed) only
with a custom kernel module [1] which:
 - allocates compound page (PAGEC) of order 1
 - allocates 2 normal pages (COPY), which are initialized to 0xff (to
   satisfy _mapcount >= 0)
 - 2 PAGEC page structs are copied to address of first COPY page
 - second page of COPY is marked as not present
 - call to page_mapped(COPY) now triggers fault on access to 2nd COPY
   page at offset 0x30 (_mapcount)

[1] https://github.com/jstancek/reproducers/blob/master/kernel/page_mapped_crash/repro.c

Fix the loop to iterate for "1 << compound_order" pages.

Kirrill said "IIRC, sound subsystem can producuce custom mapped compound
pages".

Provide a function to create a NUL-terminated string from unterminated data

2018-02-25T10:05:41+00:00

commit f35157417215ec138c920320c746fdb3e04ef1d5 upstream.

Provide a function, kmemdup_nul(), that will create a NUL-terminated string
from an unterminated character array where the length is known in advance.

This is better than kstrndup() in situations where we already know the
string length as the strnlen() in kstrndup() is superfluous.

Pull vmap stack fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is fallout from CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y on x86: stack
  accesses that used to be just somewhat questionable are now totally
  buggy.

  These changes try to do it without breaking the ABI: the fields are

mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current()

2016-10-20T07:21:41+00:00

Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races
unless the task is frozen in kernel mode.  As far as I know,
vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case.

The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations
ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this
patch.

mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

2016-10-19T15:31:25+00:00

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node

2016-07-28T23:07:41+00:00

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

rmap: support file thp

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Naive approach: on mapping/unmapping the page as compound we update
->_mapcount on each 4k page.  That's not efficient, but it's not obvious
how we can optimize this.  We can look into optimization later.

PG_double_map optimization doesn't work for file pages since lifecycle
of file pages is different comparing to anon pages: file page can be
mapped again at any time.

mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.

So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.

If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.

1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);

What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.

Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.

2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);

After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.

Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.

3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);

If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.

4. non-lru movable page flags

There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.

* PG_movable

Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.

	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)

It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.

	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;

so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.

For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.

For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.

Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.

* PG_isolated

To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.
