Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6.

It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various
races.  Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were
recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others.  The more
fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow
for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes
the page-tables.  This other core may assume a PTE change does not
require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that
TLB flushes are still pending.

This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and
MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior).  A
proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED.
Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was
observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and
replacing the KSM page.

Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect
architectures with weak memory model.

This patch (of 7):

Setting and clearing mm-&gt;tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple
threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in
task_numa_work().  If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared
while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes.

This can lead to the same race between migration and
change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of
tlb_flush_pending.  The result of this race was data corruption, which
means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data
corruption.

An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was
confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by
two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and
using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

As Tetsuo points out:
 "Commit 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
  node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly
  0kB"

In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.

This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.

Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.

<title>futex: Remove unnecessary warning from get_futex_key</title>

Commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in
get_futex_key()") removed an unnecessary lock_page() with the
side-effect that page-&gt;mapping needed to be treated very carefully.

Two defensive warnings were added in case any assumption was missed and
the first warning assumed a correct application would not alter a
mapping backing a futex key.  Since merging, it has not triggered for
any unexpected case but Mark Rutland reported the following bug
triggering due to the first warning.

  kernel BUG at kernel/futex.c:679!
  Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  Modules linked in:
  CPU: 0 PID: 3695 Comm: syz-executor1 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc3-00020-g307fec773ba3 #3

  pc : [&lt;ffff00000821ac14&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffff00000821ac14&gt;] pstate: 80000145

The fact that it's a bug instead of a warning was due to an unrelated
arm64 problem, but the warning itself triggered because the underlying
mapping changed.

This is an application issue but from a kernel perspective it's a
recoverable situation and the warning is unnecessary so this patch
removes the warning.  The warning may potentially be triggered with the
following test program from Mark although it may be necessary to adjust
NR_FUTEX_THREADS to be a value smaller than the number of CPUs in the
system.

The latest change of compat_sys_sigpending in commit 8f13621abced
("sigpending(): move compat to native") has broken it in two ways.

First, it tries to write 4 bytes more than userspace expects:
sizeof(old_sigset_t) == sizeof(long) == 8 instead of
sizeof(compat_old_sigset_t) == sizeof(u32) == 4.

Second, on big endian architectures these bytes are being written in the
wrong order.

This bug was found by strace test suite.

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.

For e.g. HZ=100, timer being 430 jiffies in the future, and 32 bit
unsigned int, there is an overflow on unsigned int right-hand side
of the expression which results with wrong values being returned.

Type cast the multiplier to 64bit to avoid that issue.
