Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

We will use this in a later patch to do tlb flush when clearing pud

mm/hugepage pud: allow arch-specific helper function to check huge page pud support

2023-08-18T17:12:53+00:00

Patch series "Add support for DAX vmemmap optimization for ppc64", v6.

This patch series implements changes required to support DAX vmemmap
optimization for ppc64.  The vmemmap optimization is only enabled with
radix MMU translation and 1GB PUD mapping with 64K page size.

The patch series also splits the hugetlb vmemmap optimization as a
separate Kconfig variable so that architectures can enable DAX vmemmap
optimization without enabling hugetlb vmemmap optimization.  This should
enable architectures like arm64 to enable DAX vmemmap optimization while
they can't enable hugetlb vmemmap optimization.  More details of the same
are in patch "mm/vmemmap optimization: Split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap
optimization".

With 64K page size for 16384 pages added (1G) we save 14 pages
With 4K page size for 262144 pages added (1G) we save 4094 pages
With 4K page size for 512 pages added (2M) we save 6 pages


This patch (of 13):

Architectures like powerpc would like to enable transparent huge page pud
support only with radix translation.  To support that add
has_transparent_pud_hugepage() helper that architectures can override.

mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA

2023-07-11T21:12:15+00:00

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.

One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.

But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.

So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.

Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted
callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now
change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to
pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite().

No functional change.

Failures here would be surprising: pte_advanced_tests() and
pte_clear_tests() and __page_table_check_pte_clear_range() each issue a
warning if pte_offset_map() or pte_offset_map_lock() fails.

mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely

2023-04-06T02:42:46+00:00

MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: replace pte_mkhuge() with arch_make_huge_pte()

2023-03-28T23:20:11+00:00

Since the following commit arch_make_huge_pte() should be used directly in
generic memory subsystem as a platform provided page table helper, instead
of pte_mkhuge().  Change hugetlb_basic_tests() to call
arch_make_huge_pte() directly, and update its relevant documentation entry
as required.
