      x86/microcode: Do the family check first · 1f161f67
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load
microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading
interface.

However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the
loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in
a guest.

So move the family checks first in order to exit early if we're being
loaded on an unsupported family.

      x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode · b956575b
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      Since commit:

  94b1b03b ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")

x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
(including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.

From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety.  By skipping TLB flushes,
we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
to become incoherent.  This means that we can have a
paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
at the freed page table.

I can imagine this causing two different problems:

 - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
   IO addresses.  I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.

 - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
   garbage in the TLB.  Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
   some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
   these bogus entries.  I've seen a couple reports of this.

Boris further explains the failure mode:

> entries are in WB DRAM:

To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode.  With this patch
applied, we do it in one of two ways:

 - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
   when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
   except for the cost of serializing the CPU.

 - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
   the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.

The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
to override the default mode for benchmarking.

In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
lazy CPUs when a page table is freed.  Doing that would require
auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
to implement the improved flush logic.

      mm, swap: use page-cluster as max window of VMA based swap readahead · 61b63972
      由 Huang Ying 提交于 
      When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob

  /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order

was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead.  This is to make it
possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and
original physical readahead.  But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will
cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot
disable swap readahead with the change.

To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window
of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap
readahead.  If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more
knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl.

The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted.  Because the knob was introduced
in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14
releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

      mm: page_vma_mapped: ensure pmd is loaded with READ_ONCE outside of lock · a7b10095
      由 Will Deacon 提交于 
      Loading the pmd without holding the pmd_lock exposes us to races with
concurrent updaters of the page tables but, worse still, it also allows
the compiler to cache the pmd value in a register and reuse it later on,
even if we've performed a READ_ONCE in between and seen a more recent
value.

In the case of page_vma_mapped_walk, this leads to the following crash
when the pmd loaded for the initial pmd_trans_huge check is all zeroes
and a subsequent valid table entry is loaded by check_pmd.  We then
proceed into map_pte, but the compiler re-uses the zero entry inside
pte_offset_map, resulting in a junk pointer being installed in
pvmw->pte:

  PC is at check_pte+0x20/0x170
  LR is at page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540
  [...]
  Process doio (pid: 2463, stack limit = 0xffff00000f2e8000)

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that READ_ONCE is used before
the initial checks on the pmd, and this value is subsequently used when
checking whether or not the pmd is present.  pmd_check is removed and
the pmd_present check is inlined directly.

      tty: fall back to N_NULL if switching to N_TTY fails during hangup · e65c62b1
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      We have seen NULL-pointer dereference crashes in tty->disc_data when the
N_TTY fallback driver failed to open during hangup.  The immediate cause
of this open to fail has been addressed in the preceding patch to
vmalloc(), but this code could be more robust.

As Alan pointed out in commit 8a8dabf2 ("tty: handle the case where
we cannot restore a line discipline"), the N_TTY driver, historically
the safe fallback that could never fail, can indeed fail, but the
surrounding code is not prepared to handle this.  To avoid crashes he
added a new N_NULL driver to take N_TTY's place as the last resort.

Hook that fallback up to the hangup path.  Update tty_ldisc_reinit() to
reflect the reality that n_tty_open can indeed fail.

      Revert "vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed" · b8c8a338
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      This reverts commits 5d17a73a ("vmalloc: back off when the current
task is killed") and 171012f5 ("mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails
due to a fatal signal").

Commit 5d17a73a ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is
killed") made all vmalloc allocations from a signal-killed task fail.
We have seen crashes in the tty driver from this, where a killed task
exiting tries to switch back to N_TTY, fails n_tty_open because of the
vmalloc failing, and later crashes when dereferencing tty->disc_data.

Arguably, relying on a vmalloc() call to succeed in order to properly
exit a task is not the most robust way of doing things.  There will be a
follow-up patch to the tty code to fall back to the N_NULL ldisc.

But the justification to make that vmalloc() call fail like this isn't
convincing, either.  The patch mentions an OOM victim exhausting the
memory reserves and thus deadlocking the machine.  But the OOM killer is
only one, improbable source of fatal signals.  It doesn't make sense to
fail allocations preemptively with plenty of memory in most cases.

The patch doesn't mention real-life instances where vmalloc sites would
exhaust memory, which makes it sound more like a theoretical issue to
begin with.  But just in case, the OOM access to memory reserves has
been restricted on the allocator side in cd04ae1e ("mm, oom: do not
rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access"), which should take care
of any theoretical concerns on that front.

Revert this patch, and the follow-up that suppresses the allocation
warnings when we fail the allocations due to a signal.

      mm/cma.c: take __GFP_NOWARN into account in cma_alloc() · ef465014
      由 Boris Brezillon 提交于 
      cma_alloc() unconditionally prints an INFO message when the CMA
allocation fails.  Make this message conditional on the non-presence of
__GFP_NOWARN in gfp_mask.

This patch aims at removing INFO messages that are displayed when the
VC4 driver tries to allocate buffer objects.  From the driver
perspective an allocation failure is acceptable, and the driver can
possibly do something to make following allocation succeed (like
flushing the VC4 internal cache).
