Only declare _UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT if the user specified
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP and if all the checks passed.  Then when the user
registers regions with shmem/hugetlbfs we won't expose the new ioctl to
them.  Even with complete anonymous memory range, we'll only expose the
new WP ioctl bit if the register mode has MODE_WP.

It does not make sense to try to wake up any waiting thread when we're
write-protecting a memory region.  Only wake up when resolving a write
protected page fault.

<title>userfaultfd: wp: add the writeprotect API to userfaultfd ioctl</title>

Introduce the new uffd-wp APIs for userspace.

Firstly, we'll allow to do UFFDIO_REGISTER with write protection tracking
using the new UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP flag.  Note that this flag can
co-exist with the existing UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, in which case the
userspace program can not only resolve missing page faults, and at the
same time tracking page data changes along the way.

Secondly, we introduced the new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT API to do page level
write protection tracking.  Note that we will need to register the memory
region with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP before that.

<title>mm/userfaultfd: honor FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in fault path</title>

<content type='text'>
Userfaultfd fault path was by default killable even if the caller does not
have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE.  That makes sense before in that when with gup
we don't have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE properly set before.  Now after previous
patch we've got FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE applied even for gup code so it should
also make sense to let userfaultfd to honor the FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE.

Because we're unconditionally setting FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in gup code
right now, this patch should have no functional change.  It also cleaned
the code a little bit by introducing some helpers.

handle_userfaultfd() is currently the only one place in the kernel page
fault procedures that can respond to non-fatal userspace signals.  It was
trying to detect such an allowance by checking against USER &amp; KILLABLE
flags, which was "un-official".

In this patch, we introduced a new flag (FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE) to show
that the fault handler allows the fault procedure to respond even to
non-fatal signals.  Meanwhile, add this new flag to the default fault
flags so that all the page fault handlers can benefit from the new flag.
With that, replacing the userfault check to this one.

Since the line is getting even longer, clean up the fault flags a bit too
to ease TTY users.

Although we've got a new flag and applied it, we shouldn't have any
functional change with this patch so far.

This patch removes the risk path in handle_userfault() then we will be
sure that the callers of handle_mm_fault() will know that the VMAs might
have changed.  Meanwhile with previous patch we don't lose responsiveness
as well since the core mm code now can handle the nonfatal userspace
signals even if we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

A while ago Andy noticed
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrWY+5ynDct7eU_nDUqx=okQvjm=Y5wJvA4ahBja=CQXGw@mail.gmail.com)
that UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK used by an unprivileged user may have
security implications.

As the first step of the solution the following patch limits the availably
of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK only for those having CAP_SYS_PTRACE.

The usage of CAP_SYS_PTRACE ensures compatibility with CRIU.

Yet, if there are other users of non-cooperative userfaultfd that run
without CAP_SYS_PTRACE, they would be broken :(

Current implementation of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK modifies the file
descriptor table from the read() implementation of uffd, which may have
security implications for unprivileged use of the userfaultfd.

Limit availability of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK only for callers that have
CAP_SYS_PTRACE.

If the registration is repeated without VM_UFFD_MISSING or VM_UFFD_WP they
need to be cleared.  Currently setting UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP returns
-EINVAL, so this patch is a noop until the UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP support
