Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Only converted x86 and uml so far.

x86/mm: do not trigger a kernel warning if user-space disables interrupts and generates a page fault

Arjan reported a spike in the following bug pattern in v2.6.27:

   http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=lock_page

which happens because hwclock started triggering warnings due to
a (correct) might_sleep() check in the MM code.

The warning occurs because hwclock uses this dubious sequence of
code to run "atomic" code:

  static unsigned long
  atomic(const char *name, unsigned long (*op)(unsigned long),
         unsigned long arg)
  {
    unsigned long v;
    __asm__ volatile ("cli");
    v = (*op)(arg);
    __asm__ volatile ("sti");
    return v;
  }

Then it pagefaults in that "atomic" section, triggering the warning.

There is no way the kernel could provide "atomicity" in this path,
a page fault is a cannot-continue machine event so the kernel has to
wait for the page to be filled in.

Even if it was just a minor fault we'd have to take locks and might have
to spend quite a bit of time with interrupts disabled - not nice to irq
latencies in general.

So instead just enable interrupts in the pagefault path unconditionally
if we come from user-space, and handle the fault.

Also, while touching this code, unify some trivial parts of the x86
VM paths at the same time.

vmalloc_sync_all() is only called from register_die_notifier and

vmalloc_sync_all() itself is not on any hot paths.

Given that the optimisations in vmalloc_sync_all add a fair amount of
code and complexity, and are fairly hard to evaluate for correctness,
it's better to just remove them to simplify the code rather than worry
about its absolute performance.

Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.

Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.

All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.

Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.

Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:

Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540

Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.

In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320

The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332

"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282

No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.

This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...

In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

kmmio.c handles the list of mmio probes with callbacks, list of traced
pages, and attaching into the page fault handler and die notifier. It
arms, traps and disarms the given pages, this is the core of mmiotrace.

mmio-mod.c is a user interface, hooking into ioremap functions and
registering the mmio probes. It also decodes the required information
from trapped mmio accesses via the pre and post callbacks in each probe.
Currently, hooking into ioremap functions works by redefining the symbols
of the target (binary) kernel module, so that it calls the traced
versions of the functions.

The most notable changes done since the last discussion are:
- kmmio.c is a built-in, not part of the module
- direct call from fault.c to kmmio.c, removing all dynamic hooks
- prepare for unregistering probes at any time
- make kmmio re-initializable and accessible to more than one user
- rewrite kmmio locking to remove all spinlocks from page fault path

Can I abuse call_rcu() like I do in kmmio.c:unregister_kmmio_probe()
or is there a better way?

The function called via call_rcu() itself calls call_rcu() again,
will this work or break? There I need a second grace period for RCU
after the first grace period for page faults.

Mmiotrace itself (mmio-mod.c) is still a module, I am going to attack
that next. At some point I will start looking into how to make mmiotrace
a tracer component of ftrace (thanks for the hint, Ingo). Ftrace should
make the user space part of mmiotracing as simple as
'cat /debug/trace/mmio > dump.txt'.

Provides kernel modules a way to register custom page fault handlers.
On every page fault this will call a list of registered functions. The
functions may handle the fault and force do_page_fault() to return
immediately.

This functionality is similar to the now removed page fault notifiers.
Custom page fault handlers are used by debugging and reverse engineering
tools. Mmiotrace is one such tool and a patch to add it into the tree
will follow.

The custom page fault handlers are called earlier in do_page_fault()

When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem.  They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).

This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.
