      ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor header layout for v7-M · 06a4b6d0
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      As reported by Patrice, the header layout of the decompressor is
incorrect when building for v7-M. In this case, the __nop macro
resolves to 'mov r0, r0', which is emitted as a narrow encoding,
resulting in the header data fields to end up at lower offsets than
required.

Given the variety of targets we need to support with the same code,
the startup sequence is a bit of a jumble, and uses instructions
and macros whose encoding widths cannot be specified (badr), or only
exist in a narrow encoding (bx)

So force the use of a wide encoding in __nop, and replace the start
sequence with a simple jump to the label marking the start of code,
preceded by a Thumb2 mode switch if required (using explicit wide
encodings where appropriate). The label itself can be moved to the
start of code [where it belongs] due to the larger range of branch
instructions as compared to adr instructions.

      scripts/gdb: make lx-dmesg command work (reliably) · d6c97087
      André Draszik authored 
      lx-dmesg needs access to the log_buf symbol from printk.c.
Unfortunately, the symbol log_buf also exists in BPF's verifier.c and
hence gdb can pick one or the other.  If it happens to pick BPF's
log_buf, lx-dmesg doesn't work:

  (gdb) lx-dmesg
  Python Exception <class 'gdb.MemoryError'> Cannot access memory at address 0x0:
  Error occurred in Python command: Cannot access memory at address 0x0
  (gdb) p log_buf
  $15 = 0x0

Luckily, GDB has a way to deal with this, see
  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Symbols.html

  (gdb) info variables ^log_buf$
  All variables matching regular expression "^log_buf$":

  File <linux.git>/kernel/bpf/verifier.c:
  static char *log_buf;

  File <linux.git>/kernel/printk/printk.c:
  static char *log_buf;
  (gdb) p 'verifier.c'::log_buf
  $1 = 0x0
  (gdb) p 'printk.c'::log_buf
  $2 = 0x811a6aa0 <__log_buf> ""
  (gdb) p &log_buf
  $3 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf>
  (gdb) p &'verifier.c'::log_buf
  $4 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf>
  (gdb) p &'printk.c'::log_buf
  $5 = (char **) 0x8048b7d0 <log_buf>

By being explicit about the location of the symbol, we can make lx-dmesg
work again.  While at it, do the same for the other symbols we need from
printk.c

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done.  update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range.  In this particular case we've had

	Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)

so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.

Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation.  Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address.  The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation.  This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

      mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified · 9a291a7c
      James Morse authored 
      KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults.  KVM sets the
FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it
finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.  KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a
special case.  (check_user_page_hwpoison())

When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well.
get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it
receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning
-EFAULT to the caller.  The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the
FOLL_ flags is missing.  The hwpoison special case is skipped, and
-EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit.

Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file
and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page().

With this, KVM works as expected.

This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled
MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86
too, so I think this should be a fix.  This doesn't apply earlier than
stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup.

	 	free(adr);
	 	return 0;
	 }

In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where
we clear the PageMlocked flag.  Commit 1ebb7cc6 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g.  when the pages are on some other
cpu's percpu pagevec).  Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK
accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.

Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.

      mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported() · 30809f55
      Punit Agrawal authored 
      On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
necessary update to the hugepage ref-count.

But when !hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage()
also decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage.  The combined
behaviour leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.

This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
from mce-tests suite.

Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().

This only triggers on systems that enable memory failure handling
(ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE) but not hugepage migration
(!ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION).

I imagine this wasn't triggered as there aren't many systems running
this configuration.

      dax: fix race between colliding PMD & PTE entries · e2093926
      Ross Zwisler authored 
      We currently have two related PMD vs PTE races in the DAX code.  These
can both be easily triggered by having two threads reading and writing
simultaneously to the same private mapping, with the key being that
private mapping reads can be handled with PMDs but private mapping
writes are always handled with PTEs so that we can COW.

Here is the first race:

  CPU 0					CPU 1

  (private mapping write)
  __handle_mm_fault()
    create_huge_pmd() - FALLBACK
    handle_pte_fault()
      passes check for pmd_devmap()

					(private mapping read)
					__handle_mm_fault()
					  create_huge_pmd()
					    dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD

      dax_iomap_pte_fault() does a PTE fault, but we already have a DAX PMD
      			  installed in our page tables at this spot.

Here's the second race:

  CPU 0					CPU 1

  (private mapping read)
  __handle_mm_fault()
    passes check for pmd_none()
    create_huge_pmd()
      dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD

  (private mapping write)
  __handle_mm_fault()
    create_huge_pmd() - FALLBACK
					(private mapping read)
					__handle_mm_fault()
					  passes check for pmd_none()
					  create_huge_pmd()

    handle_pte_fault()
      dax_iomap_pte_fault() inserts PTE
					    dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD,
					       but we already have a PTE at
					       this spot.

The core of the issue is that while there is isolation between faults to
the same range in the DAX fault handlers via our DAX entry locking,
there is no isolation between faults in the code in mm/memory.c.  This
means for instance that this code in __handle_mm_fault() can run:

	if (pmd_none(*vmf.pmd) && transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma)) {
		ret = create_huge_pmd(&vmf);

But by the time we actually get to run the fault handler called by
create_huge_pmd(), the PMD is no longer pmd_none() because a racing PTE
fault has installed a normal PMD here as a parent.  This is the cause of
the 2nd race.  The first race is similar - there is the following check
in handle_pte_fault():

	} else {
		/* See comment in pte_alloc_one_map() */
		if (pmd_devmap(*vmf->pmd) || pmd_trans_unstable(vmf->pmd))
			return 0;

So if a pmd_devmap() PMD (a DAX PMD) has been installed at vmf->pmd, we
will bail and retry the fault.  This is correct, but there is nothing
preventing the PMD from being installed after this check but before we
actually get to the DAX PTE fault handlers.

In my testing these races result in the following types of errors:

  BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff8800a817d280 idx:1 val:1
  BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: 15

Fix this issue by having the DAX fault handlers verify that it is safe
to continue their fault after they have taken an entry lock to block
other racing faults.

      mm: avoid spurious 'bad pmd' warning messages · d0f0931d
      Ross Zwisler authored 
      When the pmd_devmap() checks were added by 5c7fb56e ("mm, dax:
dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd") to add better support for DAX huge
pages, they were all added to the end of if() statements after existing
pmd_trans_huge() checks.  So, things like:

  -       if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd))
  +       if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) || pmd_devmap(*pmd))

When further checks were added after pmd_trans_unstable() checks by
commit 7267ec00 ("mm: postpone page table allocation until we have
page to map") they were also added at the end of the conditional:

  +       if (pmd_trans_unstable(fe->pmd) || pmd_devmap(*fe->pmd))

This ordering is fine for pmd_trans_huge(), but doesn't work for
pmd_trans_unstable().  This is because DAX huge pages trip the bad_pmd()
check inside of pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (called by
pmd_trans_unstable()), which prints out a warning and returns 1.  So, we
do end up doing the right thing, but only after spamming dmesg with
suspicious looking messages:

  mm/pgtable-generic.c:39: bad pmd ffff8808daa49b88(84000001006000a5)

Reorder these checks in a helper so that pmd_devmap() is checked first,
avoiding the error messages, and add a comment explaining why the
ordering is important.

Fixes: commit 7267ec00 ("mm: postpone page table allocation until we have page to map")
