__ioremap_caller() calls reserve_memtype() and the passed down @new_pcm contains the actual page cache type it reserved in the success case. is_new_memtype_allowed() verifies if converting to the new page cache type is allowed when @pcm (the requested type) is different from @new_pcm. When WT is requested, the caller expects that writes are ordered and uncached. Therefore, enhance is_new_memtype_allowed() to disallow the following cases: - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WB - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WC Signed-off-by: NToshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Elliott@hp.com Cc: H.

Since _PAGE_PROTNONE aliases _PAGE_GLOBAL it is only valid if _PAGE_PRESENT is clear. Make pte_protnone() and pmd_protnone() check for this. This fixes a 64-bit Xen PV guest regression introduced by 8a0516ed ("mm: convert p[te|md]_numa users to p[te|md]_protnone_numa"). Any userspace process would endlessly fault. In a 64-bit PV guest, userspace page table entries have _PAGE_GLOBAL set by the hypervisor. This meant that any fault on a present userspace entry (e.g., a write to a read-only mapping) would be misinterpreted as a NUMA hinting fault and the fault would not be correctly handled, resulting in the access endlessly faulting.

Now that NUMA hinting PTEs are no longer modifying _PAGE_PRESENT it should be safe to restore the original pte_special behaviour.

This patch removes the NUMA PTE bits and associated helpers. As a side-effect it increases the maximum possible swap space on x86-64. One potential source of problems is races between the marking of PTEs PROT_NONE, NUMA hinting faults and migration. It must be guaranteed that a PTE being protected is not faulted in parallel, seen as a pte_none and corrupting memory. The base case is safe but transhuge has problems in the past due to an different migration mechanism and a dependance on page lock to serialise migrations and warrants a closer look. task_work hinting update parallel fault ------------------------ -------------- change_pmd_range change_huge_pmd __pmd_trans_huge_lock pmdp_get_and_clear __handle_mm_fault pmd_none do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page read? pmd_lock blocks until hinting complete, fail !pmd_none test write? __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page acquires pmd_lock, checks pmd_none pmd_modify set_pmd_at task_work hinting update parallel migration ------------------------ ------------------ change_pmd_range change_huge_pmd __pmd_trans_huge_lock pmdp_get_and_clear __handle_mm_fault do_huge_pmd_numa_page migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page pmd_lock waits for updates to complete, recheck pmd_same pmd_modify set_pmd_at Both of those are safe and the case where a transhuge page is inserted during a protection update is unchanged. The case where two processes try migrating at the same time is unchanged by this series so should still be ok. I could not find a case where we are accidentally depending on the PTE not being cleared and flushed. If one is missed, it'll manifest as corruption problems that start triggering shortly after this series is merged and only happen when NUMA balancing is enabled.

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps report as normal page. For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not necessary compatible on each and every architecture. Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will detect huge zero page for us. We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly.

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels: where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page). Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags 0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access. Commit c46a7c81 ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on to try to access a non-existent struct page. Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE). A hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c81 added pte_numa() test to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was encountered during zap. This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it was before, relying on pte_special(). It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT? For example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special(). This is side-stepped by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be interesting.

Tracking dirty status on 2 level pages requires very ugly macros and taking into account how old the machines who can operate without PAE mode only are, lets drop soft dirty tracker from them for code simplicity (note I can't drop all the macros from 2 level pages by now since _PAGE_BIT_PROTNONE and _PAGE_BIT_FILE are still used even without tracker). Linus proposed to completely rip off softdirty support on x86-32 (even with PAE) and since for CRIU we're not planning to support native x86-32 mode, lets do that. (Softdirty tracker is relatively new feature which is mostly used by CRIU so I don't expect if such API change would cause problems for userspace).

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE and NUMA ptes based on context. Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will be trapped. Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset. This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

This reverts commit a9c8e4be. PTEs in Xen PV guests must contain machine addresses if _PAGE_PRESENT is set and pseudo-physical addresses is _PAGE_PRESENT is clear. This is because during a domain save/restore (migration) the page table entries are "canonicalised" and uncanonicalised". i.e., MFNs are converted to PFNs during domain save so that on a restore the page table entries may be rewritten with the new MFNs on the destination. This canonicalisation is only done for PTEs that are present. This change resulted in writing PTEs with MFNs if _PAGE_PROTNONE (or _PAGE_NUMA) was set but _PAGE_PRESENT was clear. These PTEs would be migrated as-is which would result in unexpected behaviour in the destination domain. Either a) the MFN would be translated to the wrong PFN/page; b) setting the _PAGE_PRESENT bit would clear the PTE because the MFN is no longer owned by the domain; or c) the present bit would not get set. Symptoms include "Bad page" reports when munmapping after migrating a domain.

He bisected the problem to commit 1667918b ("mm: numa: clear numa hinting information on mprotect") that was also included in 3.12-stable. The problem was related to how xen translates ptes because it was not accounting for the _PAGE_NUMA bit. This patch splits pte_present to add a pteval_present helper for use by xen so both bare metal and xen use the same code when checking if a PTE is present.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when pte read back. To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back. One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in pte.

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

I plan to use lookup_address() to walk the kernel pagetables in a later patch. It returns a "pte" and the level in the pagetables where the "pte" was found. The level is just an enum and needs to be converted to a useful value in order to do address calculations with it. These helpers will be used in at least two places. This also gives the anonymous enum a real name so that no one gets confused about what they should be passing in to these helpers. "PTE_SHIFT" was chosen for naming consistency with the other pagetable levels (PGD/PUD/PMD_SHIFT). Cc: H.

Implement pte_numa and pmd_numa. We must atomically set the numa bit and clear the present bit to define a pte_numa or pmd_numa. Once a pte or pmd has been set as pte_numa or pmd_numa, the next time a thread touches a virtual address in the corresponding virtual range, a NUMA hinting page fault will trigger. The NUMA hinting page fault will clear the NUMA bit and set the present bit again to resolve the page fault. The expectation is that a NUMA hinting page fault is used as part of a placement policy that decides if a page should remain on the current node or migrated to a different node.

We need pte_present to return true for _PAGE_PROTNONE pages, to indicate that the pte is associated with a page. However, for TLB flushing purposes, we would like to know whether the pte points to an actually accessible page. This allows us to skip remote TLB flushes for pages that are not actually accessible. Fill in this method for x86 and provide a safe (but slower) method on other architectures.

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first. Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped. alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage. Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges, that will be updated when lower pages get mapped. Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have more mapped pages on hand. We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done in alloc_low_page() directly. At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code. -v2: update to after fix_xen change, also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it. -v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end. -v4: don't need fix_xen change now. -v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

Now we pass around use_gbpages and use_pse for calculating page table size, Later we will need to call init_memory_mapping for every ram range one by one, that mean those calculation will be done several times. Those information are the same for all ram range and could be stored in page_size_mask and could be probed it one time only. Move that probing code out of init_memory_mapping into separated function probe_page_size_mask(), and call it before all init_memory_mapping.

In many places !pmd_present has been converted to pmd_none. For pmds that's equivalent and pmd_none is quicker so using pmd_none is better. However (unless we delete pmd_present) we should provide an accurate pmd_present too. This will avoid the risk of code thinking the pmd is non present because it's under __split_huge_page_map, see the pmd_mknotpresent there and the comment above it. If the page has been mprotected as PROT_NONE, it would also lead to a pmd_present false negative in the same way as the race with split_huge_page. Because the PSE bit stays on at all times (both during split_huge_page and when the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit get set), we could only check for the PSE bit, but checking the PROTNONE bit too is still good to remember pmd_present must always keep PROT_NONE into account. This explains a not reproducible BUG_ON that was seldom reported on the lists. The same issue is in pmd_large, it would go wrong with both PROT_NONE and if it races with split_huge_page.

Add needed pmd mangling functions with symmetry with their pte counterparts. pmdp_splitting_flush() is the only new addition on the pmd_ methods and it's needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page. It simply atomically sets the splitting bit in a similar way pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the accessed bit. pmdp_splitting_flush() also has to flush the tlb to make it effective against gup_fast, but it wouldn't really require to flush the tlb too. Just the tlb flush is the simplest operation we can invoke to serialize pmdp_splitting_flush() against gup_fast.

Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel. vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users. The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't be otherwise used for pgds.
