Commit 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and
data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's
"properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used
for TLB flushing.

vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few
fields, so doing something like

   -       struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb-&gt;mm, };
   +       struct vm_area_struct vma;
   +
   +       vma_init(&amp;vma, tlb-&gt;mm);

was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with
every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma
with only a couple of fields initialized.  And they weren't even fields
that the code in question mostly cared about.

The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a
"struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what
kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a
range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example.  And all the
normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation.

But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just
made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma.  x86 just has a
special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other
architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and
thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes.

At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most
other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and
pointless.

This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for
the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64
people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.

<title>ia64: mark special ia64 memory areas anonymous</title>

Commit bfd40eaff5ab ("mm: fix vma_is_anonymous() false-positives") made
newly allocated vma's have a dummy vm_ops field so that they wouldn't be
mistaken for anonymous mappings, and if you wanted an anonymous vma you
had to explicitly say so by calling "vma_set_anonymous()" on it.

However, it missed the two special vmas that ia64 processes have: the
register backing store and the NaT page.  So they wouldn't actually act
like anonymous ranges, and page faults on them caused a SIGBUS rather
than the creation of a new anon page in them.

That obviously will make any ia64 binary very unhappy indeed, and the
boot fails early.

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the
basic mm pointer.

The rest of the fields end up being different for different users,
although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy
entry.

<title>mm: use helper functions for allocating and freeing vm_area structs</title>

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.

We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.

Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls.  This is a purely mechanical conversion:

    # new vma:
    kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_alloc()

    # copy old vma
    kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_dup(old)

    # free vma
    kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -&gt; vm_area_free(vma)

to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

Pull more overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "The rest of the overflow changes for v4.18-rc1.

  This includes the explicit overflow fixes from Silvio, further
  struct_size() conversions from Matthew, and a bug fix from Dan.

  But the bulk of it is the treewide conversions to use either the
  2-factor argument allocators (e.g. kmalloc(a * b, ...) into
  kmalloc_array(a, b, ...) or the array_size() macros (e.g. vmalloc(a *

  Coccinelle was fighting me on several fronts, so I've done a bunch of
  manual whitespace updates in the patches as well.

  Summary:

   - Error path bug fix for overflow tests (Dan)

   - Additional struct_size() conversions (Matthew, Kees)

   - Explicitly reported overflow fixes (Silvio, Kees)

   - Add missing kvcalloc() function (Kees)

<content type='text'>
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Al noted that the semantics of the ia64 perfmon mmap() is really wrong,
and can cause serious VM problems.  Before we look at whether it needs
to be fixed, let's see if anybody even uses it, and mark it broken.  It
may be that we can just remove the code entirely.
