commit 61f77eda9bbf0d2e922197ed2dcf88638a639ce5 upstream.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m.  The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.

For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).  So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.

As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.

In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.

One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL.  This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL.  This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.

Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
  patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
  is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
  the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
  code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
  they are identical in both archs.
  In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
  In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
  PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
  PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

commit ab3f285f227fec62868037e9b1b1fd18294a83b8 upstream.

The PFMF instruction handler  blindly wrote the storage key even if
the page was mapped R/O in the host. Lets try a COW before continuing
and bail out in case of errors.

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

<title>s390/dump: Fix dump memory detection</title>

commit d7736ff5be31edaa4fe5ab62810c64529a24b149 upstream.

Dumps created by kdump or zfcpdump can contain invalid memory holes when
dumping z/VM systems that have memory pressure.

For example:

   # zgetdump -i /proc/vmcore.
   Memory map:
   0000000000000000 - 0000000000bfffff (12 MB)
   0000000000e00000 - 00000000014fffff (7 MB)
   000000000bd00000 - 00000000f3bfffff (3711 MB)

The memory detection function find_memory_chunks() issues tprot to
find valid memory chunks. In case of CMM it can happen that pages are
marked as unstable via set_page_unstable() in arch_free_page().
If z/VM has released that pages, tprot returns -EFAULT and indicates
a memory hole.

So fix this and switch off CMM in case of kdump or zfcpdump.

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages
(mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of
other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.

Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe.  But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.

To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not.  And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

Pull more s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
 "This includes one bpf/jit bug fix where the jit compiler could
  sometimes write generated code out of bounds of the allocated memory
  area.

  The rest of the patches are only cleanups and minor improvements"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux:
  s390/irq: reduce size of external interrupt handler hash array
  s390/compat,uid16: use current_cred()
  s390/ap_bus: use and-mask instead of a cast
  s390/ftrace: avoid pointer arithmetics with function pointers
  s390: make various functions static, add declarations to header files
  s390/compat signal: add couple of __force annotations
  s390/mm: add __releases()/__acquires() annotations to gmap_alloc_table()
  s390: keep Kconfig sorted
  s390/irq: rework irq subclass handling
  s390/irq: use hlists for external interrupt handler array
  s390/dumpstack: convert print_symbol to %pSR
  s390/perf: Remove print_hex_dump_bytes() debug output
  s390: update defconfig
  s390/bpf,jit: fix address randomization
