mm: fix new crash in unmapped_area_topdown()

2017-06-26T05:13:11+00:00

commit f4cb767d76cf7ee72f97dd76f6cfa6c76a5edc89 upstream.

Trinity gets kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:1963! in about 3 minutes of
mmap testing.  That's the VM_BUG_ON(gap_end < gap_start) at the
end of unmapped_area_topdown().  Linus points out how MAP_FIXED
(which does not have to respect our stack guard gap intentions)
could result in gap_end below gap_start there.  Fix that, and
the similar case in its alternative, unmapped_area().

Allow stack to grow up to address space limit

2017-06-26T05:13:11+00:00

commit bd726c90b6b8ce87602208701b208a208e6d5600 upstream.

Fix expand_upwards() on architectures with an upward-growing stack (parisc,
metag and partly IA-64) to allow the stack to reliably grow exactly up to
the address space limit given by TASK_SIZE.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-26T05:13:11+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

swap: cond_resched in swap_cgroup_prepare()

2017-06-26T05:13:10+00:00

commit ef70762948dde012146926720b70e79736336764 upstream.

I saw need_resched() warnings when swapping on large swapfile (TBs)
because continuously allocating many pages in swap_cgroup_prepare() took
too long.

We already cond_resched when freeing page in swap_cgroup_swapoff().  Do
the same for the page allocation.

mm/memory-failure.c: use compound_head() flags for huge pages

2017-06-26T05:13:10+00:00

commit 7258ae5c5a2ce2f5969e8b18b881be40ab55433d upstream.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags.  For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:

> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed

Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead.  This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:

> Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed

For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done.  update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range.  In this particular case we've had

	Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)

so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.

Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation.  Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address.  The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation.  This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

mlock: fix mlock count can not decrease in race condition

2017-06-07T10:06:01+00:00

commit 70feee0e1ef331b22cc51f383d532a0d043fbdcc upstream.

Kefeng reported that when running the follow test, the mlock count in
meminfo will increase permanently:

 [1] testcase
 linux:~ # cat test_mlockal
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
  for j in `seq 0 10`
  do
 	for i in `seq 4 15`
 	do
 		./p_mlockall >> log &
 	done
 	sleep 0.2
 done
 # wait some time to let mlock counter decrease and 5s may not enough
 sleep 5
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo

 linux:~ # cat p_mlockall.c
 #include 
 #include 
 #include 

 #define SPACE_LEN	4096

 int main(int argc, char ** argv)
 {
	 	int ret;
	 	void *adr = malloc(SPACE_LEN);
	 	if (!adr)
	 		return -1;

	 	ret = mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE);
	 	printf("mlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);

	 	ret = munlockall();
	 	printf("munlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);

	 	free(adr);
	 	return 0;
	 }

In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where
we clear the PageMlocked flag.  Commit 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g.  when the pages are on some other
cpu's percpu pagevec).  Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK
accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.

Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.

mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported()

2017-06-07T10:06:01+00:00

commit 30809f559a0d348c2dfd7ab05e9a451e2384962e upstream.

On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
necessary update to the hugepage ref-count.

But when !hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage()
also decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage.  The combined
behaviour leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.

This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
from mce-tests suite.

Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().

This only triggers on systems that enable memory failure handling
(ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE) but not hugepage migration
(!ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION).

I imagine this wasn't triggered as there aren't many systems running
this configuration.
