Kernel panic when calling the IRQ-safe __get_user_pages_fast in NMI
handler.

The bug was introduced by commit 2947ba054a4d ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP
to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation").

The original x86 __get_user_page_fast used plain get_page() or
page_ref_add().  However, the generic __get_user_page_fast uses
page_cache_get_speculative(), which has VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()).

There is no reason to prevent page_cache_get_speculative from using in
interrupt context.  According to the author, putting a BUG_ON there is
just because the code is not verifying correctness of interrupt races.
I did some tests in interrupt context.  There is no issue found.

Removing VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) for page_cache_get_speculative().

<title>cpuset: fix a deadlock due to incomplete patching of cpusets_enabled()</title>

<id>89affbf5d9ebb15c6460596822e8857ea2f9e735</id>
<content type='text'>
In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading
mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that
stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the
static_branch call sites.

This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator,
inside get_any_partial.  The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via
read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then
verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry
and the cookie returned by xxx_begin.

The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are
enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch.  This branch can be
rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created.  The
x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry
it rewrites.  If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the
one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the
smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the
begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed,
we can hang.

This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched
yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq
counter.

The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin
(pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key).  In cpuset_inc(), we
first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin()
always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets.  Similarly, when
disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of
cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value
before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the
smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the
begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed,
we can hang.

This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched
yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq
counter.

The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin
(pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key).  In cpuset_inc(), we
first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin()
always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets.  Similarly, when
disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of
cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value
before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

The kerneldoc comment for kthread_create() had an incorrect argument
name, leading to a warning in the docs build.

Correct it, and make one more small step toward a warning-free build.

<title>mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries</title>

Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and
mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.

He described the race as follows:

        CPU0                            CPU1
        ----                            ----
                                        user accesses memory using RW PTE
                                        [PTE now cached in TLB]
        try_to_unmap_one()
        ==&gt; ptep_get_and_clear()
        ==&gt; set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
                                        mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
                                        ==&gt; change_pte_range()
                                        ==&gt; [ PTE non-present - no flush ]

                                        user writes using cached RW PTE
        ...

        try_to_unmap_flush()

The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such
as munmap, mremap and madvise.

For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity
issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an
mprotect that limits access still allows access.  For munmap, it's
potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an
munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the
window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB.  However, it's
theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if
reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes.

Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok
as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page
reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to
corruption.  In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path
that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that
are guarded by this patch.  Other users such as gup as a race with
reclaim looks just at PTEs.  huge page variants should be ok as they
don't race with reclaim.  mincore only looks at PTEs.  userfault also
should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault
the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs
triggering a fault.

Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this
was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13
merge window as expected.  His ack is dropped from this version and
there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his
ack.

<title>KVM: avoid using rcu_dereference_protected</title>

During teardown, accesses to memslots and buses are using
rcu_dereference_protected with an always-true condition because
these accesses are done outside the usual mutexes.  This
is because the last reference is gone and there cannot be any
concurrent modifications, but rcu_dereference_protected is
ugly and unobvious.

Instead, check the refcount in kvm_get_bus and __kvm_memslots.
