      fix NULL pointer dereference in __vm_enough_memory() · 34b4e4aa
      由 Alan Cox 提交于 
      The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not
current->mm.  The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption
that this does not happen as does the security code.

As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the
helper function.  A new security test is added for the case where we need
to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to
avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

(Thanks to Tobias for fixing rejects and testing)

      Remove fs.h from mm.h · 4e950f6f
      由 Alexey Dobriyan 提交于 
      Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

      Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

      mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) · 54cb8821
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

      security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap · ed032189
      由 Eric Paris 提交于 
      Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space.  The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect."  Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

      [PATCH] x86: PARAVIRT: add hooks to intercept mm creation and destruction · d6dd61c8
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm.  Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code.  They are:

arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork

arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
  mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.

The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures.  It's called when an mm is first used.

      由 David Gibson 提交于 
      Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking
that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages.  On
powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage
region, causing oopses and other badness.

Add a test to prevent this.  With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it
attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.

      [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too · 68589bc3
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      (David:)

If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.

But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it.  That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range().  On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD.  unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries.  I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.

(Hugh:)

prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down.  PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.

Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

      [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages · d08b3851
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.

The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.

The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.

The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
 - its shared writeable
    (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
 - it is not a 'special' mapping
    (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
    mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
 - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection

Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.

mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
the last condition.

Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.

Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.

      [PATCH] add page_mkwrite() vm_operations method · 9637a5ef
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Add a new VMA operation to notify a filesystem or other driver about the
MMU generating a fault because userspace attempted to write to a page
mapped through a read-only PTE.

This facility permits the filesystem or driver to:

 (*) Implement storage allocation/reservation on attempted write, and so to
     deal with problems such as ENOSPC more gracefully (perhaps by generating
     SIGBUS).

 (*) Delay making the page writable until the contents have been written to a
     backing cache. This is useful for NFS/AFS when using FS-Cache/CacheFS.
     It permits the filesystem to have some guarantee about the state of the
     cache.

 (*) Account and limit number of dirty pages. This is one piece of the puzzle
     needed to make shared writable mapping work safely in FUSE.

Needed by cachefs (Or is it cachefiles?  Or fscache? <head spins>).

At least four other groups have stated an interest in it or a desire to use
the functionality it provides: FUSE, OCFS2, NTFS and JFFS2.  Also, things like
EXT3 really ought to use it to deal with the case of shared-writable mmap
encountering ENOSPC before we permit the page to be dirtied.

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

  get_user_pages(.write=1, .force=1) can generate COW hits on read-only
  shared mappings, this patch traps those as mkpage_write candidates and fails
  to handle them the old way.

      Now that it's madvisable, remove two pieces of VM_DONTCOPY bogosity:

1. There was and is no logical reason why VM_DONTCOPY should be in the

   it are also setting VM_IO, which itself forbids the merge).

2. It's hard to understand the purpose of the VM_HUGETLB, VM_DONTCOPY

   which (unlike CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS) has never been

      [PATCH] unpaged: private write VM_RESERVED · 83e9b7e9
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 issued a "deprecated" message when you
tried to mmap or mprotect MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE a VM_RESERVED, and failed
with -EACCES: because do_wp_page lacks the refinement to COW pages in those
areas, nor do we expect to find anonymous pages in them; and it seemed just
bloat to add code for handling such a peculiar case.  But immediately it
caused vbetool and ddcprobe (using lrmi) to fail.

So revert the "deprecated" messages, letting mmap and mprotect succeed.  But
leave do_wp_page's BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_RESERVED) in place until we've
added the code to do it right: so this particular patch is only good if the
app doesn't really need to write to that private area.

      [PATCH] mm: unmap_vmas with inner ptlock · 508034a3
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace
the pte_offset_map in zap_pte_range by pte_offset_map_lock: all callers are
now safe to descend without page_table_lock.

Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in
unmap_hugepage_range.  Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in
zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway.  Nor
does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now.

The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without
page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to
flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range
(which we already audited for the mprotect case).

      [PATCH] mm: unlink vma before pagetables · 8f4f8c16
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      In most places the descent from pgd to pud to pmd to pte holds mmap_sem
(exclusively or not), which ensures that free_pgtables cannot be freeing page
tables from any level at the same time.  But truncation and reverse mapping
descend without mmap_sem.

No problem: just make sure that a vma is unlinked from its prio_tree (or
nonlinear list) and from its anon_vma list, after zapping the vma, but before
freeing its page tables.  Then neither vmtruncate nor rmap can reach that vma
whose page tables are now volatile (nor do they need to reach it, since all
its page entries have been zapped by this stage).

The i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock already serialize this correctly; but the
locking hierarchy is such that we cannot take them while holding
page_table_lock.  Well, we're trying to push that down anyway.  So in this
patch, move anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma into free_pgtables, at the
same time as moving page_table_lock around calls to unmap_vmas.

tlb_gather_mmu and tlb_finish_mmu then fall outside the page_table_lock, but
we made them preempt_disable and preempt_enable earlier; and a long source
audit of all the architectures has shown no problem with removing
page_table_lock from them.  free_pgtables doesn't need page_table_lock for
itself, nor for what it calls; tlb->mm->nr_ptes is usually protected by
page_table_lock, but partly by non-exclusive mmap_sem - here it's decremented
with exclusive mmap_sem, or mm_users 0.  update_hiwater_rss and
vm_unacct_memory don't need page_table_lock either.
