mm: fix build on 32-bit targets without MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS

2024-09-23T15:58:31+00:00

The merge resolution to deal with the conflict between commits
ea72ce5da228 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory
address space") and 99185c10d5d9 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()") ended up being broken in configurations didn't
define a MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and that had a 32-bit 'phys_addr_t'.

The fallback to using all bits set (ie "(-1ULL)") ended up causing a
build error:

    kernel/resource.c: In function ‘gfr_start’:
    include/linux/minmax.h:93:30: error: conversion from ‘long long unsigned int’ to ‘resource_size_t’ {aka ‘unsigned int’} changes value from ‘18446744073709551615’ to ‘4294967295’ [-Werror=overflow]

this was reported by Geert for m68k, but he points out that it happens
on other 32-bit architectures too, eg mips, xtensa, parisc, and powerpc.

Limiting 'PHYSMEM_END' to a 'phys_addr_t' (which is the same as
'resource_size_t') fixes the build, but Geert points out that it will
then cause a silent overflow in mm/sparse.c:

	unsigned long max_sparsemem_pfn = (PHYSMEM_END + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

so we actually do want PHYSMEM_END to be defined a 64-bit type - just
not all ones, and not larger than 'phys_addr_t'.

The proper fix is probably to not have some kind of default fallback at
all, but just make sure every architecture has a valid MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
But in the meantime, this just applies the rule that PHYSMEM_END is the
largest value that fits in a 'phys_addr_t', but does not have the high
bit set in 64 bits.

Ugly, ugly.

"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:

- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom & chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
     varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
     maintainer.

  While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
  of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
  from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
  most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
  for ironing out build issues.

  In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
  important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
  production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.

  Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
  they find it useful and submit a port"

mm: introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP and special bits to pmd/pud

2024-09-17T08:06:58+00:00

Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.

Overview
========

This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general.  Huge
pfnmap allows e.g.  VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits.  Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g.  PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.

Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported.  The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.

Implementation
==============

In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).

One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user.  This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it.  Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.

The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping.  This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.

Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes.  A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now.  Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly. 
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g.  pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.

Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:

  - ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP

    Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
    supported in arch's Kconfig.  After this patchset applied, both x86_64
    and arm64 will start to enable it by default.

  - ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP

    These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
    arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
    use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them.  One can refer to the last
    vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
    driver.

So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:

  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
  vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100

In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.

Patch Layout
============

Patch 1:         Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2:         A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8:       Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
                 special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16:      Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
                 then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17:        Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18:        Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19:        Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)

TODO
====

More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------

Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported.  There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].

Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.

remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------

Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs.  With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.

When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.

More driver support
-------------------

VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied.  Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes.  This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar.  But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.

Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):

This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds.  Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option.  Per-arch support will be added
later.

Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

2024-09-16T04:55:07+00:00

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The highlights are support for Arm's "Permission Overlay Extension"
using memory protection keys, support for running as a protected guest
on Android as well as perf support for a bunch of new interconnect
PMUs.

Summary:

ACPI:
- Enable PMCG erratum workaround for HiSilicon HIP10 and 11
platforms.
- Ensure arm64-specific IORT header is covered by MAINTAINERS.

CPU Errata:
- Enable workaround for hardware access/dirty issue on Ampere-1A
cores.

Memory management:
- Define PHYSMEM_END to fix a crash in the amdgpu driver.
- Avoid tripping over invalid kernel mappings on the kexec() path.
- Userspace support for the Permission Overlay Extension (POE) using
protection keys.

Perf and PMUs:
- Add support for the "fixed instruction counter" extension in the
CPU PMU architecture.
- Extend and fix the event encodings for Apple's M1 CPU PMU.
- Allow LSM hooks to decide on SPE permissions for physical
profiling.
- Add support for the CMN S3 and NI-700 PMUs.

Confidential Computing:
- Add support for booting an arm64 kernel as a protected guest under
Android's "Protected KVM" (pKVM) hypervisor.

Selftests:
- Fix vector length issues in the SVE/SME sigreturn tests
- Fix build warning in the ptrace tests.

Timers:
- Add support for PR_{G,S}ET_TSC so that 'rr' can deal with
non-determinism arising from the architected counter.

Miscellaneous:
- Rework our IPI-based CPU stopping code to try NMIs if regular IPIs
don't succeed.
- Minor fixes and cleanups"

mm: Define VM_DROPPABLE for powerpc/32

2024-09-13T15:28:36+00:00

Commit 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always
lazily freeable mappings") only adds VM_DROPPABLE for 64 bits
architectures.

In order to also use the getrandom vDSO implementation on powerpc/32,
use VM_ARCH_1 for VM_DROPPABLE on powerpc/32. This is possible because
VM_ARCH_1 is used for VM_SAO on powerpc and VM_SAO is only for
powerpc/64. It is used in combination with PROT_SAO in some parts of
code that are restricted to CONFIG_PPC64 through #ifdefs, it is
therefore possible to define VM_SAO for CONFIG_PPC64 only.
