<content type='text'>
This is a preparatory commit for the upcoming addition of a new hardware
tag-based (MTE-based) KASAN mode.

The new mode won't be using shadow memory.  Rename external annotation
kasan_unpoison_shadow() to kasan_unpoison_range(), and introduce internal
functions (un)poison_range() (without kasan_ prefix).

Pull exec-update-lock update from Eric Biederman:
 "The key point of this is to transform exec_update_mutex into a
  rw_semaphore so readers can be separated from writers.

  This makes it easier to understand what the holders of the lock are
  doing, and makes it harder to contend or deadlock on the lock.

  The real deadlock fix wound up in perf_event_open"

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes ultimately fixes the interaction of posix file
  lock and exec. Fundamentally most of the change is just moving where
  unshare_files is called during exec, and tweaking the users of
  files_struct so that the count of files_struct is not unnecessarily
  played with.

  Along the way fcheck and related helpers were renamed to more
  accurately reflect what they do.

  There were also many other small changes that fell out, as this is the
  first time in a long time much of this code has been touched.

  Benchmarks haven't turned up any practical issues but Al Viro has
  observed a possibility for a lot of pounding on task_lock. So I have
  some changes in progress to convert put_files_struct to always rcu
  free files_struct. That wasn't ready for the merge window so that will
  have to wait until next time"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting

   - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
     enhancements

   - BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM

   - allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use
     bpf_sk_storage

   - mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and
     many smaller improvements

   - TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher

   - sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP

   - ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly

   - bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined
     in IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.

  Drivers:

   - mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver
     internals

  Refactor:

   - a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej
     Siewior

   - phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver
     APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
     of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
     allows shared IRQs

   - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters

   - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a
     central place

   - improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy

The *_lruvec_slab_state is also suitable for pages allocated from buddy,
not just for the slab objects.  But the function name seems to tell us
that only slab object is applicable.  So we can rename the keyword of slab
to kmem.

<title>mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from racing with COW during fork</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0'/>
<id>57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork.  This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.

However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:

        CPU 0                             CPU 1
   get_user_pages_fast()
    internal_get_user_pages_fast()
                                       copy_page_range()
                                         pte_alloc_map_lock()
                                           copy_present_page()
                                             atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
					     page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
     atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
     gup_pgd_range()
      gup_pte_range()
       pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
       pte_access_permitted(pte)
       try_grab_compound_head()
                                             pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
	                                     set_pte_at();
                                         pte_unmap_unlock()
      // GUP now returns with a write protected page

The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:

   - Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
     implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
     make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
     disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.

   - Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
     support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
     when scheduling back in.

   - Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
     scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
     interface available which does not disable preemption when a
     mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
     guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
     across preemption.

   - Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
     utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
     architecture allows it.

   - Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
     the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
     sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
     pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
     removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
     conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
     implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
     work around these side effects.

     The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
     systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
     non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"

     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"
