This is a proposal to revert commit 914eedcb9ba0ff53c33808.

I found this when writing a simple UFFDIO_API test to be the first unit
test in this set.  Two things breaks with the commit:

  - UFFDIO_API check was lost and missing.  According to man page, the
  kernel should reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if uffdio_api.api != 0xaa.  This
  check is needed if the api version will be extended in the future, or
  user app won't be able to identify which is a new kernel.

  - Feature flags checks were removed, which means UFFDIO_API with a
  feature that does not exist will also succeed.  According to the man
  page, we should (and it makes sense) to reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if
  unknown features passed in.

<title>mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_walk()</title>

huge_pte_offset() is the main walker function for hugetlb pgtables.  The
name is not really representing what it does, though.

Instead of renaming it, introduce a wrapper function called hugetlb_walk()
which will use huge_pte_offset() inside.  Assert on the locks when walking
the pgtable.

Note, the vma lock assertion will be a no-op for private mappings.

Document the last special case in the page_vma_mapped_walk() path where we
don't need any more lock to call hugetlb_walk().

Taking vma lock there is not needed because either: (1) potential callers
of hugetlb pvmw holds i_mmap_rwsem already (from one rmap_walk()), or (2)
the caller will not walk a hugetlb vma at all so the hugetlb code path not
reachable (e.g.  in ksm or uprobe paths).

It's slightly implicit for future page_vma_mapped_walk() callers on that
lock requirement.  But anyway, when one day this rule breaks, one will get
a straightforward warning in hugetlb_walk() with lockdep, then there'll be
a way out.

<title>mm/userfaultfd: enable writenotify while userfaultfd-wp is enabled for a VMA</title>
<updated>2023-01-12T00:14:20+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Hildenbrand</name>
<email>david@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2022-12-09T08:09:12+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=51d3d5eb74ff53b92dcff48b30ae2ed8edd85a32'/>
<id>51d3d5eb74ff53b92dcff48b30ae2ed8edd85a32</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we don't enable writenotify when enabling userfaultfd-wp on a
shared writable mapping (for now only shmem and hugetlb).  The consequence
is that vma-&gt;vm_page_prot will still include write permissions, to be set
as default for all PTEs that get remapped (e.g., mprotect(), NUMA hinting,
page migration, ...).

So far, vma-&gt;vm_page_prot is assumed to be a safe default, meaning that we
only add permissions (e.g., mkwrite) but not remove permissions (e.g.,
wrprotect).  For example, when enabling softdirty tracking, we enable
writenotify.  With uffd-wp on shared mappings, that changed.  More details
on vma-&gt;vm_page_prot semantics were summarized in [1].

This is problematic for uffd-wp: we'd have to manually check for a uffd-wp
PTEs/PMDs and manually write-protect PTEs/PMDs, which is error prone. 
Prone to such issues is any code that uses vma-&gt;vm_page_prot to set PTE
permissions: primarily pte_modify() and mk_pte().

Instead, let's enable writenotify such that PTEs/PMDs/...  will be mapped
write-protected as default and we will only allow selected PTEs that are
definitely safe to be mapped without write-protection (see
can_change_pte_writable()) to be writable.  In the future, we might want
to enable write-bit recovery -- e.g., can_change_pte_writable() -- at more
locations, for example, also when removing uffd-wp protection.

This fixes two known cases:

(a) remove_migration_pte() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs writable, resulting
    in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.
(b) do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs/PMDs
    writable, resulting in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.

Note that do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() can be reached even
without NUMA hinting (which currently doesn't seem to be applicable to
shmem), for example, by using uffd-wp with a PROT_WRITE shmem VMA.  On
such a VMA, userfaultfd-wp is currently non-functional.

Note that when enabling userfaultfd-wp, there is no need to walk page
tables to enforce the new default protection for the PTEs: we know that
they cannot be uffd-wp'ed yet, because that can only happen after enabling
uffd-wp for the VMA in general.

Also note that this makes mprotect() on ranges with uffd-wp'ed PTEs not
accidentally set the write bit -- which would result in uffd-wp not
triggering on later write access.  This commit makes uffd-wp on shmem
behave just like uffd-wp on anonymous memory in that regard, even though,
mixing mprotect with uffd-wp is controversial.

Currently, we don't enable writenotify when enabling userfaultfd-wp on a
shared writable mapping (for now only shmem and hugetlb).  The consequence
is that vma-&gt;vm_page_prot will still include write permissions, to be set
as default for all PTEs that get remapped (e.g., mprotect(), NUMA hinting,
page migration, ...).

So far, vma-&gt;vm_page_prot is assumed to be a safe default, meaning that we
only add permissions (e.g., mkwrite) but not remove permissions (e.g.,
wrprotect).  For example, when enabling softdirty tracking, we enable
writenotify.  With uffd-wp on shared mappings, that changed.  More details
on vma-&gt;vm_page_prot semantics were summarized in [1].

This is problematic for uffd-wp: we'd have to manually check for a uffd-wp
PTEs/PMDs and manually write-protect PTEs/PMDs, which is error prone. 
Prone to such issues is any code that uses vma-&gt;vm_page_prot to set PTE
permissions: primarily pte_modify() and mk_pte().

Instead, let's enable writenotify such that PTEs/PMDs/...  will be mapped
write-protected as default and we will only allow selected PTEs that are
definitely safe to be mapped without write-protection (see
can_change_pte_writable()) to be writable.  In the future, we might want
to enable write-bit recovery -- e.g., can_change_pte_writable() -- at more
locations, for example, also when removing uffd-wp protection.

This fixes two known cases:

(a) remove_migration_pte() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs writable, resulting
    in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.
(b) do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs/PMDs
    writable, resulting in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.

Note that do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() can be reached even
without NUMA hinting (which currently doesn't seem to be applicable to
shmem), for example, by using uffd-wp with a PROT_WRITE shmem VMA.  On
such a VMA, userfaultfd-wp is currently non-functional.

Note that when enabling userfaultfd-wp, there is no need to walk page
tables to enforce the new default protection for the PTEs: we know that
they cannot be uffd-wp'ed yet, because that can only happen after enabling
uffd-wp for the VMA in general.

Also note that this makes mprotect() on ranges with uffd-wp'ed PTEs not
accidentally set the write bit -- which would result in uffd-wp not
triggering on later write access.  This commit makes uffd-wp on shmem
behave just like uffd-wp on anonymous memory in that regard, even though,
mixing mprotect with uffd-wp is controversial.

When iterating the VMAs, the maple state needs to be invalidated if the
tree is modified by a split or merge to ensure the maple tree node
contained in the maple state is still valid.  These invalidations were
missed, so add them to the paths which alter the tree.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
 "Seven patches for the LSM layer and we've got a mix of trivial and
  significant patches. Highlights below, starting with the smaller bits
  first so they don't get lost in the discussion of the larger items:

   - Remove some redundant NULL pointer checks in the common LSM audit
     code.

   - Ratelimit the lockdown LSM's access denial messages.

     With this change there is a chance that the last visible lockdown
     message on the console is outdated/old, but it does help preserve
     the initial series of lockdown denials that started the denial
     message flood and my gut feeling is that these might be the more
     valuable messages.

   - Open userfaultfds as readonly instead of read/write.

     While this code obviously lives outside the LSM, it does have a
     noticeable impact on the LSMs with Ondrej explaining the situation
     in the commit description. It is worth noting that this patch
     languished on the VFS list for over a year without any comments
     (objections or otherwise) so I took the liberty of pulling it into
     the LSM tree after giving fair notice. It has been in linux-next
     since the end of August without any noticeable problems.

   - Add a LSM hook for user namespace creation, with implementations
     for both the BPF LSM and SELinux.

     Even though the changes are fairly small, this is the bulk of the
     diffstat as we are also including BPF LSM selftests for the new
     hook.

     It's also the most contentious of the changes in this pull request
     with Eric Biederman NACK'ing the LSM hook multiple times during its
     development and discussion upstream. While I've never taken NACK's
     lightly, I'm sending these patches to you because it is my belief
     that they are of good quality, satisfy a long-standing need of
     users and distros, and are in keeping with the existing nature of
     the LSM layer and the Linux Kernel as a whole.

     The patches in implement a LSM hook for user namespace creation
     that allows for a granular approach, configurable at runtime, which
     enables both monitoring and control of user namespaces. The general
     consensus has been that this is far preferable to the other
     solutions that have been adopted downstream including outright
     removal from the kernel, disabling via system wide sysctls, or
     various other out-of-tree mechanisms that users have been forced to
     adopt since we haven't been able to provide them an upstream
     solution for their requests. Eric has been steadfast in his
     objections to this LSM hook, explaining that any restrictions on
     the user namespace could have significant impact on userspace.
     While there is the possibility of impacting userspace, it is
     important to note that this solution only impacts userspace when it
     is requested based on the runtime configuration supplied by the
     distro/admin/user. Frederick (the pathset author), the LSM/security
     community, and myself have tried to work with Eric during
     development of this patchset to find a mutually acceptable
     solution, but Eric's approach and unwillingness to engage in a
     meaningful way have made this impossible. I have CC'd Eric directly
     on this pull request so he has a chance to provide his side of the
     story; there have been no objections outside of Eric's"
