This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent (physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one implementation of this kind of NVDIMM. Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver, either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt). However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which *have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver "hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like normal RAM would be. To make this work, management software must remove the device from being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing udev-initiated memory hotplug rules. This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be unbound and assigned back to device_dax. The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and write volatile data all over your good data. This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added memory from the persistent memory device that came from the firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing nodes. Because NUMA nodes are created, the existing NUMA APIs and tools are sufficient to create policies for applications or memory areas to have affinity for or an aversion to using this memory. There is currently some metadata at the beginning of pmem regions. The section-size memory hotplug restrictions, plus this small reserved area can cause the "loss" of a section or two of capacity. This should be fixable in follow-on patches. But, as a first step, losing 256MB of memory (worst case) out of hundreds of gigabytes is a good tradeoff vs. the required code to fix this up precisely. This calculation is also the reason we export memory_block_size_bytes().

In the process of onlining memory, we use walk_system_ram_range() to find the actual RAM areas inside of the area being onlined. However, it currently only finds memory resources which are "top-level" iomem_resources. Children are not currently searched which causes it to skip System RAM in areas like this (in the format of /proc/iomem): a0000000-bfffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) a0000000-afffffff : System RAM Changing the true->false here allows children to be searched as well. We need this because we add a new "System RAM" resource underneath the "persistent memory" resource when we use persistent memory in a volatile mode.

The mm/resource.c code is used to manage the physical address space. The current resource configuration can be viewed in /proc/iomem. An example of this is at the bottom of this description. The nvdimm subsystem "owns" the physical address resources which map to persistent memory and has resources inserted for them as "Persistent Memory". The best way to repurpose this for volatile use is to leave the existing resource in place, but add a "System RAM" resource underneath it. This clearly communicates the ownership relationship of this memory. The request_resource_conflict() API only deals with the top-level resources. Replace it with __request_region() which will search for !IORESOURCE_BUSY areas lower in the resource tree than the top level. We *could* also simply truncate the existing top-level "Persistent Memory" resource and take over the released address space. But, this means that if we ever decide to hot-unplug the "RAM" and give it back, we need to recreate the original setup, which may mean going back to the BIOS tables. This should have no real effect on the existing collision detection because the areas that truly conflict should be marked IORESOURCE_BUSY. 00000000-00000fff : Reserved 00001000-0009fbff : System RAM 0009fc00-0009ffff : Reserved 000a0000-000bffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 000c0000-000c97ff : Video ROM 000c9800-000ca5ff : Adapter ROM 000f0000-000fffff : Reserved 000f0000-000fffff : System ROM 00100000-9fffffff : System RAM 01000000-01e071d0 : Kernel code 01e071d1-027dfdff : Kernel data 02dc6000-0305dfff : Kernel bss a0000000-afffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) a0000000-a7ffffff : System RAM b0000000-bffdffff : System RAM bffe0000-bfffffff : Reserved c0000000-febfffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@kernel.org> Cc: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Cc: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Cc: Yaowei Bai <baiyaowei@cmss.chinamobile.com> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

HMM consumes physical address space for its own use, even though nothing is mapped or accessible there. It uses a special resource description (IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) to uniquely identify these areas. When HMM consumes address space, it makes a best guess about what to consume. However, it is possible that a future memory or device hotplug can collide with the reserved area. In the case of these conflicts, there is an error message in register_memory_resource(). Later patches in this series move register_memory_resource() from using request_resource_conflict() to __request_region(). Unfortunately, __request_region() does not return the conflict like the previous function did, which makes it impossible to check for IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY in a conflicting resource. Instead of warning in register_memory_resource(), move the check into the core resource code itself (__request_region()) where the conflicting resource _is_ available. This has the added bonus of producing a warning in case of HMM conflicts with devices *or* RAM address space, as opposed to the RAM- only warnings that were there previously.

walk_system_ram_range() can return an error code either becuase *it* failed, or because the 'func' that it calls returned an error. The memory hotplug does the following: ret = walk_system_ram_range(..., func); if (ret) return ret; and 'ret' makes it out to userspace, eventually. The problem s, walk_system_ram_range() failues that result from *it* failing (as opposed to 'func') return -1. That leads to a very odd -EPERM (-1) return code out to userspace. Make walk_system_ram_range() return -EINVAL for internal failures to keep userspace less confused. This return code is compatible with all the callers that I audited.

Add a 'modalias' attribute to devices under the DAX bus so that userspace is able to dynamically load modules as needed. Normally, udev can get the modalias from 'uevent', and that is correctly set up by the DAX bus. However other tooling such as 'libndctl' for interacting with drivers/nvdimm/, and 'libdaxctl' for drivers/dax/ can also use the modalias to dynamically load modules via libkmod lookups. The 'nd' bus set up by the libnvdimm subsystem exports a modalias attribute. Imitate this to export the same for the 'dax' bus.

The target-node attribute is the Linux numa-node that a device-dax instance may create when it is online. Prior to being online the device's 'numa_node' property reflects the closest online cpu node which is the typical expectation of a device 'numa_node'. Once it is online it becomes its own distinct numa node, i.e. 'target_node'. Export the 'target_node' property to give userspace tooling the ability to predict the effective numa-node from a device-dax instance configured to provide 'System RAM' capacity.

Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and "target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT (Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator (e.g. CPU or DMA device). Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the backing address range is onlined. Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range managed by the core-mm.

On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl (userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy), provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than /sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward.

Introduce the 'new_id' concept for enabling a custom device-driver attach policy for dax-bus drivers. The intended use is to have a mechanism for hot-plugging device-dax ranges into the page allocator on-demand. With this in place the default policy of using device-dax for performance differentiated memory can be overridden by user-space policy that can arrange for the memory range to be managed as 'System RAM' with user-defined NUMA and other performance attributes.

In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm. Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made: 1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time 2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax() and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made, just pure code movement. A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in a follow-on patch.

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping". The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users shouldn't really even care about. So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be" part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use). In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code had a comment saying Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely. and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really comfortable. NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping that doesn't actually have any pages in it. I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the info leak is real. We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the information leak sanely.

Commit 594cc251 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck. It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the access of the very last byte of the user address space. The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max(). But with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function. For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ ((get_fs().seg & (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0) and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000). And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check. Because it's off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do. Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space, so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't. As a result, the user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max access is going to be that last byte of the user address space. Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses the arguments twice. And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug: #define __addr_ok(addr) \ ((unsigned long __force)(addr) < current_thread_info()->addr_limit.seg) so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit. But then: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ (__addr_ok((addr) + (size))) is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size" is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one byte access at the last address of the user address space") The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that talks about overflow. So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice (although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not that anybody likely cares about SH security). This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH. It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic: unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b; which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless the length was zero". We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd just hit an underflow instead. For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't actually as expensive as it initially looks.

Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound. It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper "Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors" (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see commit 059c2a4d ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support"). On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7, on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster. In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information. Adiantum does not have this problem. Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.
