<title>bpf: Fix off-by-one boundary validation in arena direct-value access</title>

BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA accepts BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE offsets at exactly
the end of the arena mapping (off == arena_size). The boundary check
in arena_map_direct_value_addr() uses `&gt;` instead of `&gt;=`, which
incorrectly allows a one-past-end pointer to be accepted.

Change the condition to `&gt;=` to correctly reject offsets that fall
outside the valid arena user_vm range.

arena_alloc_pages() accepts a plain int node_id and forwards it through
the entire allocation chain without any bounds checking.

arena_alloc_pages().

<title>bpf: Fix use-after-free in arena_vm_close on fork</title>

<id>4fddde2a732de60bb97e3307d4eb69ac5f1d2b74</id>
<content type='text'>
arena_vm_open() only bumps vml-&gt;mmap_count but never registers the
child VMA in arena-&gt;vma_list. The vml-&gt;vma always points at the
parent VMA, so after parent munmap the pointer dangles. If the child
then calls bpf_arena_free_pages(), zap_pages() reads the stale
vml-&gt;vma triggering use-after-free.

Fix this by preventing the arena VMA from being inherited across
fork with VM_DONTCOPY, and preventing VMA splits via the may_split
callback.

Also reject mremap with a .mremap callback returning -EINVAL. A
same-size mremap(MREMAP_FIXED) on the full arena VMA reaches
copy_vma() through the following path:

  check_prep_vma()       - returns 0 early: new_len == old_len
                           skips VM_DONTEXPAND check
  prep_move_vma()        - vm_start == old_addr and
                           vm_end == old_addr + old_len
                           so may_split is never called
  move_vma()
    copy_vma_and_data()
      copy_vma()
        vm_area_dup()    - copies vm_private_data (vml pointer)
        vm_ops-&gt;open()   - bumps vml-&gt;mmap_count
      vm_ops-&gt;mremap()   - returns -EINVAL, rollback unmaps new VMA

The refcount ensures the rollback's arena_vm_close does not free
the vml shared with the original VMA.

<title>mm/memory: remove "zap_details" parameter from zap_page_range_single()</title>

Nobody except memory.c should really set that parameter to non-NULL.  So
let's just drop it and make unmap_mapping_range_vma() use
zap_page_range_single_batched() instead.

<title>bpf: Lose const-ness of map in map_check_btf()</title>

<id>ae51772b1e94ba1d76db19085957dbccac189c1c</id>
<content type='text'>
BPF hash map may now use the map_check_btf() callback to decide whether
to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on
the callback such that we can avoid the ugly cast. Make the change and
adjust all existing users, and lose the comment in hashtab.c.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

When arena allocations were converted from bpf_map_alloc_pages() to
kmalloc_nolock() to support non-sleepable contexts, memcg accounting was
inadvertently lost. This commit restores proper memory accounting for
all arena-related allocations.

All arena related allocations are accounted into memcg of the process
that created bpf_arena.
