Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

<title>mm: implement memory-deny-write-execute as a prctl</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: In-kernel support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)",
v2.

The background to this is that systemd has a configuration option called
MemoryDenyWriteExecute [2], implemented as a SECCOMP BPF filter.  Its aim
is to prevent a user task from inadvertently creating an executable
mapping that is (or was) writeable.  Since such BPF filter is stateless,
it cannot detect mappings that were previously writeable but subsequently
changed to read-only.  Therefore the filter simply rejects any
mprotect(PROT_EXEC).  The side-effect is that on arm64 with BTI support
(Branch Target Identification), the dynamic loader cannot change an ELF
section from PROT_EXEC to PROT_EXEC|PROT_BTI using mprotect().  For
libraries, it can resort to unmapping and re-mapping but for the main
executable it does not have a file descriptor.  The original bug report in
the Red Hat bugzilla - [3] - and subsequent glibc workaround for libraries
- [4].

This series adds in-kernel support for this feature as a prctl
PR_SET_MDWE, that is inherited on fork().  The prctl denies PROT_WRITE |
PROT_EXEC mappings.  Like the systemd BPF filter it also denies adding
PROT_EXEC to mappings.  However unlike the BPF filter it only denies it if
the mapping didn't previous have PROT_EXEC.  This allows to PROT_EXEC -&gt;
PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI with mprotect(), which is a problem with the BPF
filter.


This patch (of 2):

The aim of such policy is to prevent a user task from creating an
executable mapping that is also writeable.

An example of mmap() returning -EACCESS if the policy is enabled:

	mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);

Similarly, mprotect() would return -EACCESS below:

	addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
	mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC);

The BPF filter that systemd MDWE uses is stateless, and disallows
mprotect() with PROT_EXEC completely. This new prctl allows PROT_EXEC to
be enabled if it was already PROT_EXEC, which allows the following case:

	addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
	mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI);

where PROT_BTI enables branch tracking identification on arm64.

Remove the instrumentation, because these methods are used in low-level
cpuidle code moving between states, that should not be instrumented.

Remove the instrumentation, because these methods are used in low-level
cpuidle code moving between states, that should not be instrumented.

The archs that use cputime_to_nsecs() internally provide their own
definition and don't need the fallback. cputime_to_usecs() unused except
in this fallback, and is not defined anywhere.

This removes the final remnant of the cputime_t code from the kernel.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
  to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.

  It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
  container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.

  We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
  device specific:
   - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
   - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
   - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
   - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
   - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
   - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
   - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace

  Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
  the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
  implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
  Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
  support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.

  As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
  uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
  which is currently VFIO and VDPA"

<title>kernel/user: Allow user_struct::locked_vm to be usable for iommufd</title>

Following the pattern of io_uring, perf, skb, and bpf, iommfd will use
user-&gt;locked_vm for accounting pinned pages. Ensure the value is included
in the struct and export free_uid() as iommufd is modular.

user-&gt;locked_vm is the good accounting to use for ulimit because it is
per-user, and the security sandboxing of locked pages is not supposed to
be per-process. Other places (vfio, vdpa and infiniband) have used
mm-&gt;pinned_vm and/or mm-&gt;locked_vm for accounting pinned pages, but this
is only per-process and inconsistent with the new FOLL_LONGTERM users in
the kernel.

Concurrent work is underway to try to put this in a cgroup, so everything
can be consistent and the kernel can provide a FOLL_LONGTERM limit that
actually provides security.
