The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

Commit 281d4078bec3 ("x86: Make page cache mode a real type")
introduced the symbols __cachemode2pte_tbl and __pte2cachemode_tbl and
exported them via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. The exports are part of a
replacement of code which has been EXPORT_SYMBOL before these changes
resulting in build breakage of out-of-tree non-gpl modules.
Change EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT-SYMBOL for these two symbols.

We had originally planned on submitting MPX support in one patch
set. We eventually broke it up in to two pieces for easier
review. One of the features that didn't make the first round
was supporting 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.
Once we split the set up, we never added code to restrict 32-bit
binaries from _using_ MPX on 64-bit kernels.
The 32-bit bounds tables are a different format than the 64-bit
ones. Without this patch, the kernel will try to read a 32-bit
binary's tables as if they were the 64-bit version. They will
likely be noticed as being invalid rather quickly and the app
will get killed, but that's kinda mean.
This patch adds an explicit check, and will make a 64-bit kernel
essentially behave as if it has no MPX support when called from
a 32-bit binary.

VMWare seems not to emulate the PAT MSR correctly: reaeding
MSR_IA32_CR_PAT returns 0 even after writing another value to it.
Commit bd809af16e3ab triggers this VMWare bug when the kernel is
booted as a VMWare guest.
Detect this bug and don't use the read value if it is 0.

The old scheme can lead to failure in certain cases - the
problem is that after bumping step_size the next (non-final)
iteration is only guaranteed to make available a memory block
the size of what step_size was before. E.g. for a memory block
[0,3004600000) we'd have:
iter start end step amount
1 3004400000 30045fffff 2M 2M
2 3004000000 30043fffff 64M 4M
3 3000000000 3003ffffff 2G 64M
4 2000000000 2fffffffff 64G 64G
Yet to map 64G with 4k pages (as happens e.g. under PV Xen) we
need slightly over 128M, but the first three iterations made
only about 70M available.
The condition (new_mapped_ram_size > mapped_ram_size) for
bumping step_size is just not suitable. Instead we want to bump
it when we know we have enough memory available to cover a block
of the new step_size. And rather than making that condition more
complicated than needed, simply adjust step_size by the largest
possible factor we know we can cover at that point - which is
shifting it left by one less than the difference between page
table level shifts. (Interestingly the original STEP_SIZE_SHIFT
definition had a comment hinting at that having been the
intention, just that it should have been PUD_SHIFT-PMD_SHIFT-1
instead of (PUD_SHIFT-PMD_SHIFT)/2, and of course for non-PAE
32-bit we can't really use these two constants as they're equal
there.)
Furthermore the comment in get_new_step_size() didn't get
updated when the bottom-down mapping logic got added. Yet while
an overflow (flushing step_size to zero) of the shift doesn't
matter for the top-down method, it does for bottom-up because
round_up(x, 0) = 0, and an upper range boundary of zero can't
really work well.

"kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data
structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
warning is emitted. The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.
This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only

The VM_FAULT_RETRY handling was confusing and incorrect for the case of
returning to kernel mode. We need to handle the exception table fixup
if we return to kernel mode due to a fatal signal - it will basically
look to the kernel user mode access like the access failed due to the VM
going away from udner it. Which is correct - the process is dying - and
avoids the whole "repeat endless kernel page faults" case.
Handling the VM_FAULT_RETRY early and in just one place also simplifies
the mmap_sem handling, since once we've taken care of VM_FAULT_RETRY we
know that we can just drop the lock. The remaining accounting and
possible error handling is thread-local and does not need the mmap_sem.

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
way to specify different caching modes in page table entries. The
PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
_PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

get_reg_offset() used to return the register contents themselves
instead of the register offset. When it did that, it was an
unsigned long. I changed it to return an integer _offset_
instead of the register. But, I neglected to change the return
type of the function or the variables in which we store the
result of the call.
This fixes up the code to clear up the warnings from the smatch

The previous patch allocates bounds tables on-demand. As noted in
an earlier description, these can add up to *HUGE* amounts of
memory. This has caused OOMs in practice when running tests.
This patch adds support for freeing bounds tables when they are no
longer in use.
There are two types of mappings in play when unmapping tables:
1. The mapping with the actual data, which userspace is
munmap()ing or brk()ing away, etc...
2. The mapping for the bounds table *backing* the data
(is tagged with VM_MPX, see the patch "add MPX specific
mmap interface").
If userspace use the prctl() indroduced earlier in this patchset
to enable the management of bounds tables in kernel, when it
unmaps the first type of mapping with the actual data, the kernel
needs to free the mapping for the bounds table backing the data.
This patch hooks in at the very end of do_unmap() to do so.
We look at the addresses being unmapped and find the bounds
directory entries and tables which cover those addresses. If
an entire table is unused, we clear associated directory entry
and free the table.
Once we unmap the bounds table, we would have a bounds directory
entry pointing at empty address space. That address space might
now be allocated for some other (random) use, and the MPX
hardware might now try to walk it as if it were a bounds table.
That would be bad. So any unmapping of an enture bounds table
has to be accompanied by a corresponding write to the bounds
directory entry to invalidate it. That write to the bounds
directory can fault, which causes the following problem:
Since we are doing the freeing from munmap() (and other paths
like it), we hold mmap_sem for write. If we fault, the page
fault handler will attempt to acquire mmap_sem for read and
we will deadlock. To avoid the deadlock, we pagefault_disable()
when touching the bounds directory entry and use a
get_user_pages() to resolve the fault.
The unmapping of bounds tables happends under vm_munmap(). We
also (indirectly) call vm_munmap() to _do_ the unmapping of the
bounds tables. We avoid unbounded recursion by disallowing
freeing of bounds tables *for* bounds tables. This would not
occur normally, so should not have any practical impact. Being
strict about it here helps ensure that we do not have an
exploitable stack overflow.

This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below).
Long Description:
This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.
Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.
==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====
MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".
They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.
The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.
==== Why not do this in userspace? ====
This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.
Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.
Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
allocation state there.
Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

This patch sets bound violation fields of siginfo struct in #BR
exception handler by decoding the user instruction and constructing
the faulting pointer.
We have to be very careful when decoding these instructions. They
are completely controlled by userspace and may be changed at any
time up to and including the point where we try to copy them in to
the kernel. They may or may not be MPX instructions and could be
completely invalid for all we know.
Note: This code is based on Qiaowei Ren's specialized MPX
decoder, but uses the generic decoder whenever possible. It was
tested for robustness by generating a completely random data
stream and trying to decode that stream. I also unmapped random
pages inside the stream to test the "partial instruction" short
read code.
We kzalloc() the siginfo instead of stack allocating it because
we need to memset() it anyway, and doing this makes it much more
clear when it got initialized by the MPX instruction decoder.
Changes from the old decoder:
* Use the generic decoder instead of custom functions. Saved
~70 lines of code overall.
* Remove insn->addr_bytes code (never used??)
* Make sure never to possibly overflow the regoff[] array, plus
check the register range correctly in 32 and 64-bit modes.
* Allow get_reg() to return an error and have mpx_get_addr_ref()
handle when it sees errors.
* Only call insn_get_*() near where we actually use the values
instead if trying to call them all at once.
* Handle short reads from copy_from_user() and check the actual
number of read bytes against what we expect from
insn_get_length(). If a read stops in the middle of an
instruction, we error out.
* Actually check the opcodes intead of ignoring them.
* Dynamically kzalloc() siginfo_t so we don't leak any stack
data.
* Detect and handle decoder failures instead of ignoring them.

We have chosen to perform the allocation of bounds tables in
kernel (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds
tables") and to mark these VMAs with VM_MPX.
However, there is currently no suitable interface to actually do
this. Existing interfaces, like do_mmap_pgoff(), have no way to
set a modified ->vm_ops or ->vm_flags and don't hold mmap_sem
long enough to let a caller do it.
This patch wraps mmap_region() and hold mmap_sem long enough to
make the modifications to the VMA which we need.
Also note the 32/64-bit #ifdef in the header. We actually need
to do this at runtime eventually. But, for now, we don't support
running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels. Support for this will
come in later patches.

Commit e00c8cc93c1a "x86: Use new cache mode type in memtype related
functions" broke the ARCH=um build.
arch/x86/include/asm/cacheflush.h:67:36: error: return type is an incomplete type
static inline enum page_cache_mode get_page_memtype(struct page *pg)
The reason is simple. get_page_memtype() and set_page_memtype()
require enum page_cache_mode now, which is defined in
asm/pgtable_types.h. UM does not include that file for obvious reasons.
The simple solution is to move that functions to arch/x86/mm/pat.c
where the only callsites of this are located. They should have been
there in the first place.

Update the translation tables from cache mode to pgprot values

attributes of a PAT index in just one place without having to change
at the users side.
With this change it is possible to use the same kernel with different

At the moment there are a lot of places that handle setting or getting
the page cache mode by treating the pgprot bits equal to the cache mode.
This is only true because there are a lot of assumptions about the setup
of the PAT MSR. Otherwise the cache type needs to get translated into
pgprot bits and vice versa.
This patch tries to prepare for that by introducing a separate type
for the cache mode and adding functions to translate between those and
pgprot values.
To avoid too much performance penalty the translation between cache mode
and pgprot values is done via tables which contain the relevant
information. Write-back cache mode is hard-wired to be 0, all other
modes are configurable via those tables. For large pages there are
translation functions as the PAT bit is located at different positions

In commit 3891a04aafd6 ("x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp
returning..") the "ESPFix Area" was added to the page table dump special
sections. That area, though, has a limited amount of entries printed.
The EFI runtime services are, unfortunately, located in-between the
espfix area and the high kernel memory mapping. Due to the enforced
limitation for the espfix area, the EFI mappings won't be printed in the
page table dump.
To make the ESP runtime service mappings visible again, provide them a
dedicated entry.

The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
void * rather than char * for consistency.
Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.

On large-memory x86-64 systems of 64GB or more with memory hot-plug
enabled, use a 2GB memory block size. Eg with 64GB memory, this reduces
the number of directories in /sys/devices/system/memory from 512 to 32,
making it more manageable, and reducing the creation time accordingly.
This caveat is that the memory can't be offlined (for hotplug or
otherwise) with the finer default 128MB granularity, but this is
unimportant due to the high memory densities generally used with such
large-memory systems, where eg a single DIMM is the order of 16GB.

pte_pfn() returns a PFN of long (32 bits in 32-PAE), so "long <<
PAGE_SHIFT" will overflow for PFNs above 4GB.
Due to this issue, some Linux 32-PAE distros, running as guests on Hyper-V,
with 5GB memory assigned, can't load the netvsc driver successfully and
hence the synthetic network device can't work (we can use the kernel parameter
mem=3000M to work around the issue).
Cast pte_pfn() to phys_addr_t before shifting.

This code exists for the sole purpose of making the vsyscall
page look sort of like real userspace memory. Move it so that
it lives with the rest of the vsyscall code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"
