commit e048cb32f69038aa1c8f11e5c1b331be4181659d upstream.

The align_offset parameter is used by bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
to represent the offset of map's base from the previous alignment
boundary; the function ensures that the returned index, plus the
align_offset, honors the specified align_mask.

The logic introduced by commit b5be83e308f7 ("mm: cma: align to physical
address, not CMA region position") has the cma driver calculate the
offset to the *next* alignment boundary.  In most cases, the base
alignment is greater than that specified when making allocations,
resulting in a zero offset whether we align up or down.  In the example
given with the commit, the base alignment (8MB) was half the requested
alignment (16MB) so the math also happened to work since the offset is
8MB in both directions.  However, when requesting allocations with an
alignment greater than twice that of the base, the returned index would
not be correctly aligned.

Also, the align_order arguments of cma_bitmap_aligned_mask() and
cma_bitmap_aligned_offset() should not be negative so the argument type
was made unsigned.

<id>97f9df9adb66045be4871c6c416b0c011d24c0cc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 850fc430f47aad52092deaaeb32b99f97f0e6aca upstream.

The CMA aligned offset calculation is incorrect for non-zero order_per_bit
values.

For example, if cma-&gt;order_per_bit=1, cma-&gt;base_pfn= 0x2f800000 and
align_order=12, the function returns a value of 0x17c00 instead of 0x400.

This patch fixes the CMA aligned offset calculation.

The previous calculation was wrong and would return too-large values for
the offset, so that when cma_alloc looks for free pages in the bitmap with
the requested alignment &gt; order_per_bit, it starts too far into the bitmap
and so CMA allocations will fail despite there actually being plenty of
free pages remaining.  It will also probably have the wrong alignment.
With this change, we will get the correct offset into the bitmap.

One affected user is powerpc KVM, which has kvm_cma-&gt;order_per_bit set to
KVM_CMA_CHUNK_ORDER - PAGE_SHIFT, or 18 - 12 = 6.

commit 94737a85f332aee75255960eaa16e89ddfa4c75a upstream.

The totalcma_pages variable is not updated to account for CMA regions
defined via device tree reserved-memory sub-nodes.  Fix this omission by
moving the calculation of totalcma_pages into cma_init_reserved_mem()
instead of cma_declare_contiguous() such that it will include reserved
memory used by all CMA regions.

commit e48322abb061d75096fe52d71886b237e7ae7bfb upstream.

When the system boots up, in the dmesg logs we can see the memory
statistics along with total reserved as below.  Memory: 458840k/458840k
available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem

When CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same.
However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved.  But, when we see
/proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory.  This creates
confusion.  This patch corrects the problem by properly subtracting the
CMA reserved memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs.

Below is the dmesg snapshot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and
12MB single CMA region.

Before this change:
  Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem

After this change:
  Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 53160k reserved, 12288k cma-reserved, 0K highmem

<title>mm/cma: make kmemleak ignore CMA regions</title>

<id>feb52e785e1f2a1f591d0771f722261352c97abe</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 620951e2745750de1482128615adc15b74ee37ed upstream.

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool.  The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects.  This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.

Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.

Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem.  Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?

commit 620951e2745750de1482128615adc15b74ee37ed upstream.

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool.  The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects.  This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.

Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.

Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem.  Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?

<title>mm: cma: align to physical address, not CMA region position</title>

commit b5be83e308f70e16c63c4e520ea7bb03ef57c46f upstream.

The alignment in cma_alloc() was done w.r.t. the bitmap.  This is a
problem when, for example:

- a device requires 16M (order 12) alignment
- the CMA region is not 16 M aligned

In such a case, can result with the CMA region starting at, say,
0x2f800000 but any allocation you make from there will be aligned from
there.  Requesting an allocation of 32 M with 16 M alignment will result
in an allocation from 0x2f800000 to 0x31800000, which doesn't work very
well if your strange device requires 16M alignment.

Change to use bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() to account for the
difference in alignment at reserve-time and alloc-time.

<title>Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks</title>

commit 197e7e521384a23b9e585178f3f11c9fa08274b9 upstream.

The 'move_paghes()' system call was introduced long long ago with the
same permission checks as for sending a signal (except using
CAP_SYS_NICE instead of CAP_SYS_KILL for the overriding capability).

That turns out to not be a great choice - while the system call really
only moves physical page allocations around (and you need other
capabilities to do a lot of it), you can check the return value to map
out some the virtual address choices and defeat ASLR of a binary that
still shares your uid.

So change the access checks to the more common 'ptrace_may_access()'
model instead.

This tightens the access checks for the uid, and also effectively
changes the CAP_SYS_NICE check to CAP_SYS_PTRACE, but it's unlikely that
anybody really _uses_ this legacy system call any more (we hav ebetter
NUMA placement models these days), so I expect nobody to notice.

Famous last words.

commit 73223e4e2e3867ebf033a5a8eb2e5df0158ccc99 upstream.

I hit a use after free issue when executing trinity and repoduced it
with KASAN enabled.  The related call trace is as follows.

!shared memory policy is not protected against parallel removal by other
thread which is normally protected by the mmap_sem.  do_get_mempolicy,
however, drops the lock midway while we can still access it later.

Early premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when
put_user was called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/
but that is gone since 8bccd85ffbaf ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_*
layering in the memory policy layer.").  but when we have the the
current mempolicy ref count model.  The issue was introduced
accordingly.

Fix the issue by removing the premature release.
