Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-&gt; commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type.  As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.

The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.

vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

<title>userfaultfd: use fault_wqh lock</title>

<id>c430d1e848ff1240d126e79780f3c26208b8aed9</id>
<content type='text'>
The userfaultfd code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for
managing fault_wqh, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock for this
waitqueue around these calls, it the waitqueue lock of
fault_pending_wq, which is a different waitqueue instance.  Given that
the waitqueue is not exposed to the rest of the kernel this actually
works ok at the moment, but prevents the userfaultfd locking rules from
being enforced using lockdep.

Switch to the internally locked waitqueue helpers instead.  This means
that the lock inside fault_wqh now nests inside the fault_pending_wqh
lock, but that's not a problem since it was entirely unused before.

<title>userfaultfd: remove uffd flags from vma-&gt;vm_flags if UFFD_EVENT_FORK fails</title>

<content type='text'>
The fix in commit 0cbb4b4f4c44 ("userfaultfd: clear the
vma-&gt;vm_userfaultfd_ctx if UFFD_EVENT_FORK fails") cleared the
vma-&gt;vm_userfaultfd_ctx but kept userfaultfd flags in vma-&gt;vm_flags
that were copied from the parent process VMA.

As the result, there is an inconsistency between the values of
vma-&gt;vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx and vma-&gt;vm_flags which triggers BUG_ON
in userfaultfd_release().

Clearing the uffd flags from vma-&gt;vm_flags in case of UFFD_EVENT_FORK
failure resolves the issue.

Use huge_ptep_get() to translate huge ptes to normal ptes so we can
check them with the huge_pte_* functions.  Otherwise some architectures
will check the wrong values and will not wait for userspace to bring in
the memory.

<title>userfaultfd: prevent non-cooperative events vs mcopy_atomic races</title>

If a process monitored with userfaultfd changes it's memory mappings or
forks() at the same time as uffd monitor fills the process memory with
UFFDIO_COPY, the actual creation of page table entries and copying of
the data in mcopy_atomic may happen either before of after the memory
mapping modifications and there is no way for the uffd monitor to
maintain consistent view of the process memory layout.

For instance, let's consider fork() running in parallel with
userfaultfd_copy():

process        		         |	uffd monitor
---------------------------------+------------------------------
fork()        		         | userfaultfd_copy()
...        		         | ...
    dup_mmap()        	         |     down_read(mmap_sem)
    down_write(mmap_sem)         |     /* create PTEs, copy data */
        dup_uffd()               |     up_read(mmap_sem)
        copy_page_range()        |
        up_write(mmap_sem)       |
        dup_uffd_complete()      |
            /* notify monitor */ |

If the userfaultfd_copy() takes the mmap_sem first, the new page(s) will
be present by the time copy_page_range() is called and they will appear
in the child's memory mappings.  However, if the fork() is the first to
take the mmap_sem, the new pages won't be mapped in the child's address
space.

If the pages are not present and child tries to access them, the monitor
will get page fault notification and everything is fine.  However, if
the pages *are present*, the child can access them without uffd
noticing.  And if we copy them into child it'll see the wrong data.
Since we are talking about background copy, we'd need to decide whether
the pages should be copied or not regardless #PF notifications.

Since userfaultfd monitor has no way to determine what was the order,
let's disallow userfaultfd_copy in parallel with the non-cooperative
events.  In such case we return -EAGAIN and the uffd monitor can
understand that userfaultfd_copy() clashed with a non-cooperative event
and take an appropriate action.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

<title>userfaultfd: convert to use anon_inode_getfd()</title>

Nothing actually calls userfaultfd_file_create() besides the
userfaultfd() system call itself.  So simplify things by folding it into
the system call and using anon_inode_getfd() instead of
anon_inode_getfile().  Do the same in resolve_userfault_fork() as well.

This removes over 50 lines with no change in functionality.

<title>mm, userfaultfd, THP: avoid waiting when PMD under THP migration</title>

<id>a365ac09d334389bc69841c9d153f03fa2442f1c</id>
<content type='text'>
If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider
the following situation,

  do_page_fault()
    __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page()
     handle_userfault()
       userfault_msg()
         /* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */
         /* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry
            in page table */
       userfaultfd_must_wait()
         /* return true because !pmd_present() */
       /* may wait in loop until fatal signal */

That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD
entry which is !pmd_none() &amp;&amp; !pmd_present().  In the current
implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause
unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup.

This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() &amp;&amp; !pmd_present(),
only wait when pmd_none().

This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait()
is always called with mm-&gt;mmap_sem read-locked.  mremap() will
write-lock mm-&gt;mmap_sem.  And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP
mapping.  But the change introduced still makes the code more correct,
and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"
