read_user_stack_slow is called with interrupts soft disabled and it copies contents from the page which we find mapped to a specific address. To convert userspace address to pfn, the kernel now uses lockless page table walk. The kernel needs to make sure the pfn value read remains stable and is not released and reused for another process while the contents are read from the page. This can only be achieved by holding a page reference. One of the first approaches I tried was to check the pte value after the kernel copies the contents from the page. But as shown below we can still get it wrong CPU0 CPU1 pte = READ_ONCE(*ptep); pte_clear(pte); put_page(page); page = alloc_page(); memcpy(page_address(page), "secret password", nr); memcpy(buf, kaddr + offset, nb); put_page(page); handle_mm_fault() page = alloc_page(); set_pte(pte, page); if (pte_val(pte) != pte_val(*ptep)) Hence switch to __get_user_pages_fast.

A lockless page table walk should be safe against parallel THP collapse, THP split and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)/parallel fault. This patch makes sure kernel won't reload the pteval when checking for different conditions. The patch also added a check for pte_present to make sure the kernel is indeed operating on a PTE and not a pointer to level 0 table page. The pfn value we find here can be different from the actual pfn on which machine check happened. This can happen if we raced with a parallel update of the page table. In such a scenario we end up isolating a wrong pfn. But that doesn't have any other side effect. Signed-off-by:

Don't fetch the pte value using lockless page table walk. Instead use the value from the caller. hash_preload is called with ptl lock held. So it is safe to use the pte_t address directly. Signed-off-by:

This is only used with init_mm currently. Walking init_mm is much simpler because we don't need to handle concurrent page table like other mm_context Signed-off-by:

This makes the pte_present check stricter by checking for additional _PAGE_PTE bit. A level 1 pte pointer (THP pte) can be switched to a pointer to level 0 pte page table page by following two operations. 1) THP split. 2) madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in parallel to page fault. A lockless page table walk need to make sure we can handle such changes gracefully. Signed-off-by:

Fetch pkey from vma instead of linux page table. Also document the fact that in some cases the pkey returned in siginfo won't be the same as the one we took keyfault on. Even with linux page table walk, we can end up in a similar scenario. Signed-off-by:

This brings in a fix from the kvm-ppc tree that was merged to mainline after rc2, and so isn't in the base of our topic branch. We'd like it in the topic branch because it interacts with patches we plan to carry in this branch.

Since cd758a9b "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT page fault handler", it's been possible in fairly rare circumstances to load a non-present PTE in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() when running a guest on a POWER8 host. Because that case wasn't checked for, we could misinterpret the non-present PTE as being a cache-inhibited PTE. That could mismatch with the corresponding hash PTE, which would cause the function to fail with -EFAULT a little further down. That would propagate up to the KVM_RUN ioctl() generally causing the KVM userspace (usually qemu) to fall over. This addresses the problem by catching that case and returning to the guest instead. For completeness, this fixes the radix page fault handler in the same way. For radix this didn't cause any obvious misbehaviour, because we ended up putting the non-present PTE into the guest's partition-scoped page tables, leading immediately to another hypervisor data/instruction storage interrupt, which would go through the page fault path again and fix things up. Fixes: cd758a9b "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT page fault handler" Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820402Reported-by:

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by:

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
