[ Upstream commit d39f8fb4b7776dcb09ec3bf7a321547083078ee3 ]

The deferred memory initialization relies on section definitions, e.g
PAGES_PER_SECTION, that are only available when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y on
most architectures.

Initially DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depended on explicit
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT configuration option, but since
the commit 2e3ca40f03bb13709df4 ("mm: relax deferred struct page
requirements") this requirement was relaxed and now it is possible to
enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on architectures that support
DISCONTINGMEM and NO_BOOTMEM which causes build failures.

For instance, setting SMP=y and DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y on arc
causes the following build failure:

Let's make the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM
as the systems that support DISCONTIGMEM do not seem to have that huge
amounts of memory that would make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT relevant.

<title>mm/fadvise.c: fix signed overflow UBSAN complaint</title>

[ Upstream commit a718e28f538441a3b6612da9ff226973376cdf0f ]

Signed integer overflow is undefined according to the C standard.  The
overflow in ksys_fadvise64_64() is deliberate, but since it is signed
overflow, UBSAN complains:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/fadvise.c:76:10
	signed integer overflow:
	4 + 9223372036854775805 cannot be represented in type 'long long int'

Use unsigned types to do math.  Unsigned overflow is defined so UBSAN
will not complain about it.  This patch doesn't change generated code.

commit 2fa147bdbf672c53386a8f5f2c7fe358004c3ef8 upstream.

MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX relies on typical page semantics whereby -&gt;mapping
is only ever cleared by truncation, not final put.

Without this fix dax pages may forget their mapping association at the
end of every page pin event.

Move this atypical behavior that HMM wants into the HMM -&gt;page_free()
callback.

commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).

If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).

If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

<title>readahead: stricter check for bdi io_pages</title>

commit dc30b96ab6d569060741572cf30517d3179429a8 upstream.

ondemand_readahead() checks bdi-&gt;io_pages to cap the maximum pages
that need to be processed. This works until the readit section. If
we would do an async only readahead (async size = sync size) and
target is at beginning of window we expand the pages by another
get_next_ra_size() pages. Btrace for large reads shows that kernel
always issues a doubled size read at the beginning of processing.
Add an additional check for io_pages in the lower part of the func.
The fix helps devices that hard limit bio pages and rely on proper
handling of max_hw_read_sectors (e.g. older FusionIO cards). For
that reason it could qualify for stable.

<title>mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE</title>

commit d86564a2f085b79ec046a5cba90188e612352806 upstream.

Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().

This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
__p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.

But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
(optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.

NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
      be able to use the generic code again.

[ Modified to be on top of Nick's cleanups, which simplified this patch
  now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]

<title>mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area()</title>

commit 0d83432811f26871295a9bc24d3c387924da6071 upstream.

free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed.  However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way.  If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works.  However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.

It fails if all of the following happen:
 * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
 * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
 * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image

The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses.  We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write.  I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.

It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally.  There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2</title>

commit 377eeaa8e11fe815b1d07c81c4a0e2843a8c15eb upstream.

For the L1TF workaround its necessary to limit the swap file size to below
MAX_PA/2, so that the higher bits of the swap offset inverted never point
to valid memory.

Add a mechanism for the architecture to override the swap file size check
in swapfile.c and add a x86 specific max swapfile check function that
enforces that limit.

The check is only enabled if the CPU is vulnerable to L1TF.

In VMs with 42bit MAX_PA the typical limit is 2TB now, on a native system
with 46bit PA it is 32TB. The limit is only per individual swap file, so
it's always possible to exceed these limits with multiple swap files or
partitions.

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 42e4089c7890725fcd329999252dc489b72f2921 upstream.

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.
