Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - x2apic_disable() clears x2apic_state and x2apic_mode unconditionally, even when the state is X2APIC_ON_LOCKED, which prevents the kernel to disable it thereby creating inconsistent state. Reorder the logic so it actually works correctly - The XSTATE logic for handling LBR is incorrect as it assumes that XSAVES supports LBR when the CPU supports LBR. In fact both conditions need to be true. Otherwise the enablement of LBR in the IA32_XSS MSR fails and subsequently the machine crashes on the next XRSTORS operation because IA32_XSS is not initialized. Cache the XSTATE support bit during init and make the related functions use this cached information and the LBR CPU feature bit to cure this. - Cure a long standing bug in KASLR KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end to randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and vmemmap regions. It thereby limits the size of the direct map by using the installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for hot-plug memory. This limitation is done to gain more randomization space because otherwise only the holes between the direct map, vmalloc, vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing. The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, so the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths still operate under the assumption that the available address space can be determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1 downwards. That means the first allocation happens past the end of the direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space, which causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and consequently causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses. Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and use that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related places instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case PHYSMEM_END maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR initialization and otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as before. - Prevent a data leak in mmio_read(). The TDVMCALL exposes the value of an initialized variabled on the stack to the VMM. The variable is only required as output value, so it does not have to exposed to the VMM in the first place. - Prevent an array overrun in the resource control code on systems with Sub-NUMA Clustering enabled because the code failed to adjust the index by the number of SNC nodes per L3 cache. * tag 'x86-urgent-2024-09-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/resctrl: Fix arch_mbm_* array overrun on SNC x86/tdx: Fix data leak in mmio_read() x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space x86/fpu: Avoid writing LBR bit to IA32_XSS unless supported x86/apic: Make x2apic_disable() work correctly

x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space

2024-08-20T11:44:57Z

iounmap() on x86 occasionally fails to unmap because the provided valid ioremap address is not below high_memory. It turned out that this happens due to KASLR. KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end to randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and vmemmap regions. It thereby limits the size of the direct map by using the installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for hot-plug memory. This limitation is done to gain more randomization space because otherwise only the holes between the direct map, vmalloc, vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing. The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, so the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths still operate under the assumption that the available address space can be determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1 downwards. That means the first allocation happens past the end of the direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space, which causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and consequently causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses. MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS cannot be changed for that because the randomization does not align with address bit boundaries and there are other places which actually require to know the maximum number of address bits. All remaining usage sites of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS have been analyzed and found to be correct. Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and use that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related places instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case PHYSMEM_END maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR initialization and otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as before. To prevent future hickups add a check into add_pages() to catch callers trying to add memory above PHYSMEM_END.

mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking

2024-08-16T05:16:13Z

We recently made GUP's common page table walking code to also walk hugetlb VMAs without most hugetlb special-casing, preparing for the future of having less hugetlb-specific page table walking code in the codebase. Turns out that we missed one page table locking detail: page table locking for hugetlb folios that are not mapped using a single PMD/PUD. Assume we have hugetlb folio that spans multiple PTEs (e.g., 64 KiB hugetlb folios on arm64 with 4 KiB base page size). GUP, as it walks the page tables, will perform a pte_offset_map_lock() to grab the PTE table lock. However, hugetlb that concurrently modifies these page tables would actually grab the mm->page_table_lock: with USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS, the locks would differ. Something similar can happen right now with hugetlb folios that span multiple PMDs when USE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS. This issue can be reproduced [1], for example triggering: [ 3105.936100] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 3105.939323] WARNING: CPU: 31 PID: 2732 at mm/gup.c:142 try_grab_folio+0x11c/0x188 [ 3105.944634] Modules linked in: [...] [ 3105.974841] CPU: 31 PID: 2732 Comm: reproducer Not tainted 6.10.0-64.eln141.aarch64 #1 [ 3105.980406] Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS edk2-20240524-4.fc40 05/24/2024 [ 3105.986185] pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 3105.991108] pc : try_grab_folio+0x11c/0x188 [ 3105.994013] lr : follow_page_pte+0xd8/0x430 [ 3105.996986] sp : ffff80008eafb8f0 [ 3105.999346] x29: ffff80008eafb900 x28: ffffffe8d481f380 x27: 00f80001207cff43 [ 3106.004414] x26: 0000000000000001 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffff80008eafba48 [ 3106.009520] x23: 0000ffff9372f000 x22: ffff7a54459e2000 x21: ffff7a546c1aa978 [ 3106.014529] x20: ffffffe8d481f3c0 x19: 0000000000610041 x18: 0000000000000001 [ 3106.019506] x17: 0000000000000001 x16: ffffffffffffffff x15: 0000000000000000 [ 3106.024494] x14: ffffb85477fdfe08 x13: 0000ffff9372ffff x12: 0000000000000000 [ 3106.029469] x11: 1fffef4a88a96be1 x10: ffff7a54454b5f0c x9 : ffffb854771b12f0 [ 3106.034324] x8 : 0008000000000000 x7 : ffff7a546c1aa980 x6 : 0008000000000080 [ 3106.038902] x5 : 00000000001207cf x4 : 0000ffff9372f000 x3 : ffffffe8d481f000 [ 3106.043420] x2 : 0000000000610041 x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 3106.047957] Call trace: [ 3106.049522] try_grab_folio+0x11c/0x188 [ 3106.051996] follow_pmd_mask.constprop.0.isra.0+0x150/0x2e0 [ 3106.055527] follow_page_mask+0x1a0/0x2b8 [ 3106.058118] __get_user_pages+0xf0/0x348 [ 3106.060647] faultin_page_range+0xb0/0x360 [ 3106.063651] do_madvise+0x340/0x598 Let's make huge_pte_lockptr() effectively use the same PT locks as any core-mm page table walker would. Add ptep_lockptr() to obtain the PTE page table lock using a pte pointer -- unfortunately we cannot convert pte_lockptr() because virt_to_page() doesn't work with kmap'ed page tables we can have with CONFIG_HIGHPTE. Handle CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS correctly by checking in reverse order, such that when e.g., CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS==2 with PGDIR_SIZE==P4D_SIZE==PUD_SIZE==PMD_SIZE will work as expected. Document why that works. There is one ugly case: powerpc 8xx, whereby we have an 8 MiB hugetlb folio being mapped using two PTE page tables. While hugetlb wants to take the PMD table lock, core-mm would grab the PTE table lock of one of both PTE page tables. In such corner cases, we have to make sure that both locks match, which is (fortunately!) currently guaranteed for 8xx as it does not support SMP and consequently doesn't use split PT locks.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances.

mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings

2024-07-19T18:22:12Z

The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a new system call that has certain requirements: - It shouldn't be written to core dumps. * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP. - It should be zeroed on fork. * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK. - It shouldn't be written to swap. * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited. * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks. - It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when page faulting in memory if none is available * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults. It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem: 1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through the function's execution. 2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for, we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and everything is fine. 3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of 60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation. These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which has the following semantics: a) It never is written out to swap. b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're zero when read back again). c) It is inherited by fork. d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked. e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal, and no signal is sent. This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use: VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment, using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or writing out to swap. In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as MAP_DROPPABLE. Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a vma reference available. Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired. Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: David Hildenbrand Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: "The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based hardening of kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook. We have also extended the kmalloc() alignment guarantees for non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust. The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups. - Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook) This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year. kmalloc() users that are known to be useful for exploits can get completely separate set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with other users. The first converted users are alloc_msg() and memdup_user(). The hardening is enabled by CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS. - Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka) For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice, we have two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192). To avoid unnecessary padding in the rust layer due to its alignment rules, extend the guarantee so that the alignment is at least the largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size. This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing power-of-two guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout (and thus does not add overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab debugging is enabled for them. - Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren Baghdasaryan, Matthew Willcox, Alex Shi, and Vlastimil Babka) Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio conversion, debugging and more leftovers after SLAB" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240701190152.it.631-kees@kernel.org/ [1] * tag 'slab-for-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/memcg: alignment memcg_data define condition mm, slab: move prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook under CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING mm, slab: move allocation tagging code in the alloc path into a hook mm/util: Use dedicated slab buckets for memdup_user() ipc, msg: Use dedicated slab buckets for alloc_msg() mm/slab: Introduce kmem_buckets_create() and family mm/slab: Introduce kvmalloc_buckets_node() that can take kmem_buckets argument mm/slab: Plumb kmem_buckets into __do_kmalloc_node() mm/slab: Introduce kmem_buckets typedef slab, rust: extend kmalloc() alignment guarantees to remove Rust padding slab: delete useless RED_INACTIVE and RED_ACTIVE slab: don't put freepointer outside of object if only orig_size slab: make check_object() more consistent mm: Reduce the number of slab->folio casts mm, slab: don't wrap internal functions with alloc_hooks()

Pull memblock updates from Mike Rapoport: - 'reserve_mem' command line parameter to allow creation of named memory reservation at boot time. The driving use-case is to improve the ability of pstore to retain ramoops data across reboots. - cleanups and small improvements in memblock and mm_init - new tests cases in memblock test suite * tag 'memblock-v6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/memblock: memblock tests: fix implicit declaration of function 'numa_valid_node' memblock: Move late alloc warning down to phys alloc pstore/ramoops: Add ramoops.mem_name= command line option mm/memblock: Add "reserve_mem" to reserved named memory at boot up mm/mm_init.c: don't initialize page->lru again mm/mm_init.c: not always search next deferred_init_pfn from very beginning mm/mm_init.c: use deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone() to decide loop condition mm/mm_init.c: get the highest zone directly mm/mm_init.c: move nr_initialised reset down a bit mm/memblock: fix a typo in description of for_each_mem_region() mm/mm_init.c: use memblock_region_memory_base_pfn() to get startpfn mm/memblock: use PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN to get pgend in free_memmap mm/memblock: return true directly on finding overlap region memblock tests: add memblock_overlaps_region_checks mm/memblock: fix comment for memblock_isolate_range() memblock tests: add memblock_reserve_many_may_conflict_check() memblock tests: add memblock_reserve_all_locations_check() mm/memblock: remove empty dummy entry
