[ Upstream commit 6039ca254979694c5362dfebadd105e286c397bb ]

The pkey test code keeps a "shadow" of the pkey register around.  This
ensures that any bugs which might write to the register can be caught more
quickly.

Generally, userspace has a good idea when the kernel is going to write to
the register.  For instance, alloc_pkey() is passed a permission mask.
The caller of alloc_pkey() can update the shadow based on the return value
and the mask.

But, the kernel can also modify the pkey register in a more sneaky way.
For mprotect(PROT_EXEC) mappings, the kernel will allocate a pkey and
write the pkey register to create an execute-only mapping.  The kernel
never tells userspace what key it uses for this.

This can cause the test to fail with messages like:

	protection_keys_64.2: pkey-helpers.h:132: _read_pkey_reg: Assertion `pkey_reg == shadow_pkey_reg' failed.

because the shadow was not updated with the new kernel-set value.

Forcibly update the shadow value immediately after an mprotect().

[ Upstream commit bf68294a2ec39ed7fec6a5b45d52034e6983157a ]

The alloc_pkey() sefltest function wraps the sys_pkey_alloc() system call.
On success, it updates its "shadow" register value because
sys_pkey_alloc() updates the real register.

But, the success check is wrong.  pkey_alloc() considers any non-zero
return code to indicate success where the pkey register will be modified.
This fails to take negative return codes into account.

Consider only a positive return value as a successful call.

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: fix alloc_random_pkey() to make it really, really random</title>

[ Upstream commit f36ef407628835a7d7fb3d235b1f1aac7022d9a3 ]

Patch series "selftests/vm/pkeys: Bug fixes and a new test".

There has been a lot of activity on the x86 front around the XSAVE
architecture which is used to context-switch processor state (among other
things).  In addition, AMD has recently joined the protection keys club by
adding processor support for PKU.

The AMD implementation helped uncover a kernel bug around the PKRU "init
state", which actually applied to Intel's implementation but was just
harder to hit.  This series adds a test which is expected to help find
this class of bug both on AMD and Intel.  All the work around pkeys on x86
also uncovered a few bugs in the selftest.

This patch (of 4):

The "random" pkey allocation code currently does the good old:

	srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));

*But*, it unfortunately does this on every random pkey allocation.

There may be thousands of these a second.  time() has a one second
resolution.  So, each time alloc_random_pkey() is called, the PRNG is
*RESET* to time().  This is nasty.  Normally, if you do:

	srand(&lt;ANYTHING&gt;);
	foo = rand();
	bar = rand();

You'll be quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are different.  But, if
you do:

	srand(1);
	foo = rand();
	srand(1);
	bar = rand();

You are quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are the *SAME*.  The recent
"fix" effectively forced the test case to use the same "random" pkey for
the whole test, unless the test run crossed a second boundary.

Only run srand() once at program startup.

This explains some very odd and persistent test failures I've been seeing.

When pages are pinned they can be faulted in userland and migrated, and
they can be faulted right in kernel without migration.

In either case, the pinned pages must end-up being pinnable (not
movable).

Add a new test to gup_test, to help verify that the gup/pup
(get_user_pages() / pin_user_pages()) behavior with respect to pinnable
and movable pages is reasonable and correct.  Specifically, provide a
way to:

1) Verify that only "pinnable" pages are pinned.  This is checked
   automatically for you.

2) Verify that gup/pup performance is reasonable.  This requires
   comparing benchmarks between doing gup/pup on pages that have been
   pre-faulted in from user space, vs.  doing gup/pup on pages that are
   not faulted in until gup/pup time (via FOLL_TOUCH).  This decision is
   controlled with the new -z command line option.

In gup_test both gup_flags and test_flags use the same flags field.
This is broken.

Farther, in the actual gup_test.c all the passed gup_flags are erased
and unconditionally replaced with FOLL_WRITE.

Which means that test_flags are ignored, and code like this always
performs pin dump test:

155  			if (gup-&gt;flags &amp; GUP_TEST_FLAG_DUMP_PAGES_USE_PIN)
156  				nr = pin_user_pages(addr, nr, gup-&gt;flags,
157  						    pages + i, NULL);
158  			else
159  				nr = get_user_pages(addr, nr, gup-&gt;flags,
160  						    pages + i, NULL);
161  			break;

Add a new test_flags field, to allow raw gup_flags to work.  Add a new
subcommand for DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST to specify that pin test should be
performed.

Remove unconditional overwriting of gup_flags via FOLL_WRITE.  But,
preserve the previous behaviour where FOLL_WRITE was the default flag,
and add a new option "-W" to unset FOLL_WRITE.

Rename flags with gup_flags.

With the fix, dump works like this:

In gup_test both gup_flags and test_flags use the same flags field.
This is broken.

Farther, in the actual gup_test.c all the passed gup_flags are erased
and unconditionally replaced with FOLL_WRITE.

Which means that test_flags are ignored, and code like this always
performs pin dump test:

155  			if (gup-&gt;flags &amp; GUP_TEST_FLAG_DUMP_PAGES_USE_PIN)
156  				nr = pin_user_pages(addr, nr, gup-&gt;flags,
157  						    pages + i, NULL);
158  			else
159  				nr = get_user_pages(addr, nr, gup-&gt;flags,
160  						    pages + i, NULL);
161  			break;

Add a new test_flags field, to allow raw gup_flags to work.  Add a new
subcommand for DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST to specify that pin test should be
performed.

Remove unconditional overwriting of gup_flags via FOLL_WRITE.  But,
preserve the previous behaviour where FOLL_WRITE was the default flag,
and add a new option "-W" to unset FOLL_WRITE.

Rename flags with gup_flags.

<title>userfaultfd/selftests: add test exercising minor fault handling</title>
<updated>2021-05-05T18:27:23+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=f0fa94330919be8ec5620382b50f1c72844c9224'/>
<id>f0fa94330919be8ec5620382b50f1c72844c9224</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a dormant bug in userfaultfd_events_test(), where we did `return
faulting_process(0)` instead of `exit(faulting_process(0))`.  This
caused the forked process to keep running, trying to execute any further
test cases after the events test in parallel with the "real" process.

Add a simple test case which exercises minor faults.  In short, it does
the following:

1. "Sets up" an area (area_dst) and a second shared mapping to the same
   underlying pages (area_dst_alias).

2. Register one of these areas with userfaultfd, in minor fault mode.

3. Start a second thread to handle any minor faults.

4. Populate the underlying pages with the non-UFFD-registered side of
   the mapping. Basically, memset() each page with some arbitrary
   contents.

5. Then, using the UFFD-registered mapping, read all of the page
   contents, asserting that the contents match expectations (we expect
   the minor fault handling thread can modify the page contents before
   resolving the fault).

The minor fault handling thread, upon receiving an event, flips all the
bits (~) in that page, just to prove that it can modify it in some
arbitrary way.  Then it issues a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl, to setup the
mapping and resolve the fault.  The reading thread should wake up and
see this modification.

Currently the minor fault test is only enabled in hugetlb_shared mode,
as this is the only configuration the kernel feature supports.

We did not have a direct user interface of splitting the compound page
backing a THP and there is no need unless we want to expose the THP
implementation details to users.  Make &lt;debugfs&gt;/split_huge_pages accept a
new command to do that.

By writing "&lt;pid&gt;,&lt;vaddr_start&gt;,&lt;vaddr_end&gt;" to
&lt;debugfs&gt;/split_huge_pages, THPs within the given virtual address range
from the process with the given pid are split. It is used to test
split_huge_page function. In addition, a selftest program is added to
tools/testing/selftests/vm to utilize the interface by splitting
PMD THPs and PTE-mapped THPs.

This does not change the old behavior, i.e., writing 1 to the interface
to split all THPs in the system.

A 'single_cpu_test' parameter is odd and it does not exist anymore.
Instead there was introduced a 'nr_threads' one.  If it is not set it
behaves as the former parameter.

That is why update a "stress mode" according to this change specifying
number of workers which are equal to number of CPUs.  Also update an
output of help message based on a new interface.

This test extends the current mremap tests to validate that the
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP operation can be performed on shmem mappings.
