If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP. This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space, and, for example, the perf tools fails with: failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22) This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock". The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP. With this commit, the perf tool then reports: failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported) which is more clear.

A divide by zero error occurs if qp_count is less than mw_count because num_qps_mw is calculated to be zero. The calculation appears to be incorrect. The requirement is for num_qps_mw to be set to qp_count / mw_count with any remainder divided among the earlier mws. For example, if mw_count is 5 and qp_count is 12 then mws 0 and 1 will have 3 qps per window and mws 2 through 4 will have 2 qps per window. Thus, when mw_num < qp_count % mw_count, num_qps_mw is 1 higher than when mw_num >= qp_count.

In cases where there are more mw's than spads/2-2, the mw count gets reduced to match the limitation. ntb_transport also tries to ensure that there are fewer qps than mws but uses the full mw count instead of the reduced one. When this happens, the math in 'ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw' will get confused and result in a kernel paging request bug. This patch fixes the bug by reducing qp_count to the reduced mw count instead of the full mw count.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

Anon and hugetlbfs handle FOLL_DUMP set by get_dump_page() internally to __get_user_pages(). shmem as opposed has no special FOLL_DUMP handling there so handle_mm_fault() is invoked without mmap_sem and ends up calling handle_userfault() that isn't expecting to be invoked without mmap_sem held. This makes handle_userfault() fail immediately if invoked through shmem_vm_ops->fault during coredumping and solves the problem. The side effect is a BUG_ON with no lock held triggered by the coredumping process which exits. Only 4.11 is affected, pre-4.11 anon memory holes are skipped in __get_user_pages by checking FOLL_DUMP explicitly against empty pagetables (mm/gup.c:no_page_table()). It's zero cost as we already had a check for current->flags to prevent futex to trigger userfaults during exit (PF_EXITING).

In do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), we attempt to handle a migrating thp pmd by waiting until the pmd is unlocked before we return and retry. However, we can race with migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): // do_huge_pmd_numa_page // migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() // Holds 0 refs on page // Holds 2 refs on page vmf->ptl = pmd_lock(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd); /* ... */ if (pmd_trans_migrating(*vmf->pmd)) { page = pmd_page(*vmf->pmd); spin_unlock(vmf->ptl); ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd); if (page_count(page) != 2)) { /* roll back */ } /* ... */ mlock_migrate_page(new_page, page); /* ... */ spin_unlock(ptl); put_page(page); put_page(page); // page freed here wait_on_page_locked(page); goto out; } This can result in the freed page having its waiters flag set unexpectedly, which trips the PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP checks in the page alloc/free functions. This has been observed on arm64 KVM guests. We can avoid this by having do_huge_pmd_numa_page() take a reference on the page before dropping the pmd lock, mirroring what we do in __migration_entry_wait(). When we hit the race, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() will see the reference and abort the migration, as it may do today in other cases.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page flags. For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have anything interesting set, resulting in: > Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state > Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page, this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the head pages flags instead. This results in the me_huge_page() recovery action being called: > Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage to be dequeued.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "Three small fixes for recently merged code: - remove a spurious WARN_ON when a PCI device has no of_node, it's allowed in some circumstances for there to be no of_node. - fix the offset for store EOI MMIOs in the XIVE interrupt controller. - fix non-const WARN_ONs which were becoming BUGs due to them losing BUGFLAG_WARNING in a recent cleanup patch. Thanks to: Alexey Kardashevskiy, Alistair Popple, Benjamin Herrenschmidt" * tag 'powerpc-4.12-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/debug: Add missing warn flag to WARN_ON's non-builtin path powerpc/xive: Fix offset for store EOI MMIOs powerpc/npu-dma: Remove spurious WARN_ON when a PCI device has no of_node
