      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).

      ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm · 84d77d3f
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
      readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
      read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
      is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
      executables.
      
      As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
      spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
      target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
      the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
      began to read the target processes mm.
      
      In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
      ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
      access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
      instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
      does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.
      
      This bug has always existed in Linux.
      
      Fixes: v1.0

      mm: unexport __get_user_pages() · 0d731759
      Lorenzo Stoakes 提交于
      This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
      
      Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
      passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
      this function from its one user, kvm.
      
      We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
      __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
      stacks:
      
        get_user_page_nowait():
          get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
      		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
      
        check_user_page_hwpoison():
          get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
      		     NULL, NULL)
