[ Upstream commit 6fb3acdebf65a72df0a95f9fd2c901ff2bc9a3a2 ]

Commit 97523a4edb7b ("kernel/resource: remove first_lvl / siblings_only
logic") removed an optimization introduced by commit 756398750e11
("resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()").  That
was not called out in the message of the first commit explicitly so it's
not entirely clear whether removing the optimization happened
inadvertently or not.

As the original commit message of the optimization explains there is no
point considering the children of a subtree in find_next_iomem_res() if
the top level range does not match.

Reinstating the optimization results in performance improvements in
systems where /proc/iomem is ~5k lines long.  Calling mmap() on /dev/mem
in such platforms takes 700-1500μs without the optimisation and 10-50μs
with the optimisation.

Note that even though commit 97523a4edb7b removed the 'sibling_only'
parameter from next_resource(), newer kernels have basically reinstated it
under the name 'skip_children'.

There are already a couple of places where we may replace a few lines of
code by calling a helper, which increases readability while deduplicating
the code.

Introduce is_type_match() helper and use it.

[ Upstream commit 5c1edea773c98707fbb23d1df168bcff52f61e4b ]

Patch series "resource: A couple of cleanups".

A couple of ad-hoc cleanups since there was a recent development of
the code in question. No functional changes intended.

This patch (of 2):

__region_intersects() uses open coded resource_intersection().  Replace it
with existing API which also make more clear what we are checking.

<title>resource: fix false warning in __request_region()</title>

commit 91a229bb7ba86b2592c3f18c54b7b2c5e6fe0f95 upstream.

A warning is raised when __request_region() detects a conflict with a
resource whose resource.desc is IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.

But this warning is only valid for iomem_resources.
The hmem device resource uses resource.desc as the numa node id, which can
cause spurious warnings.

This warning appeared on a machine with multiple cxl memory expanders.
One of the NUMA node id is 6, which is the same as the value of
IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.

In this environment it was just a spurious warning, but when I saw the
warning I suspected a real problem so it's better to fix it.

This change fixes this by restricting the warning to only iomem_resource.
This also adds a missing new line to the warning message.

walk_system_ram_res_rev() erroneously discards resource flags when passing
the information to the callback.

This causes systems with IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED memory to have
these resources selected during kexec to store kexec buffers if that
memory happens to be at placed above normal system ram.

This leads to undefined behavior after reboot.  If the kexec buffer is
never touched, nothing happens.  If the kexec buffer is touched, it could
lead to a crash (like below) or undefined behavior.

Tested on a system with CXL memory expanders with driver managed memory,
TPM enabled, and CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC=y.  Adding printk's showed the flags
were being discarded and as a result the check for
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED passes.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "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.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.
     Code cleanups and folio conversions.

   - "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements" from Ryan Roberts.
     Cleanups for shmem controls and stats.

   - "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size" from Barry Song.
     Expose additional anon THP stats to userspace for improved tuning.

   - "mm: finish isolate/putback_lru_page()" from Kefeng Wang: more
     folio conversions and removal of now-unused page-based APIs.

   - "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
     per-context one" from SeongJae Park. DAMON histogram
     rationalization.

     improve related doc and warn" from Jason Wang: fixes usage of page
     allocator __GFP_NOFAIL and GFP_ATOMIC flags.

   - "mm: split underused THPs" from Yu Zhao. Improve THP=always policy.
     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped
     area" from Mark Brown. Fix up the various arch_get_unmapped_area()
     implementations to better respect guard areas.

   - "Improve mem_cgroup_iter()" from Kinsey Ho. Improve the reliability
     of mem_cgroup_iter() and various code cleanups.

     CXL memory.

   - "mm: hwpoison: two more poison recovery" from Kefeng Wang. Teaches
     a couple more code paths to correctly recover from the encountering
     of poisoned memry.

   - "mm: enable large folios swap-in support" from Barry Song. Support
     the swapin of mTHP memory into appropriately-sized folios, rather
     than into single-page folios"

* tag 'mm-stable-2024-09-20-02-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (416 commits)
  zram: free secondary algorithms names

Patch series "resource: Fix region_intersects() vs
add_memory_driver_managed()", v3.

The patchset fixes a bug of region_intersects() for systems with CXL
memory.  The details of the bug can be found in [1/3].  To avoid similar
bugs in the future.  A kunit test case for region_intersects() is added in
[3/3].  [2/3] is a preparation patch for [3/3].


This patch (of 3):

region_intersects() is important because it's used for /dev/mem permission
checking.  To avoid possible bug of region_intersects() in the future, a
kunit test case for region_intersects() is added.

<title>resource: make alloc_free_mem_region() works for iomem_resource</title>

During developing a kunit test case for region_intersects(), some fake
resources need to be inserted into iomem_resource.  To do that, a resource
hole needs to be found first in iomem_resource.

However, alloc_free_mem_region() cannot work for iomem_resource now. 
Because the start address to check cannot be 0 to detect address wrapping
0 in gfr_continue(), while iomem_resource.start == 0.  To make
alloc_free_mem_region() works for iomem_resource, gfr_start() is changed
to avoid to return 0 even if base-&gt;start == 0.  We don't need to check 0
as start address.

<title>resource: fix region_intersects() vs add_memory_driver_managed()</title>

<id>b4afe4183ec77f230851ea139d91e5cf2644c68b</id>
<content type='text'>
On a system with CXL memory, the resource tree (/proc/iomem) related to
CXL memory may look like something as follows.

490000000-50fffffff : CXL Window 0
  490000000-50fffffff : region0
    490000000-50fffffff : dax0.0
      490000000-50fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

Because drivers/dax/kmem.c calls add_memory_driver_managed() during
onlining CXL memory, which makes "System RAM (kmem)" a descendant of "CXL
Window X".  This confuses region_intersects(), which expects all "System
RAM" resources to be at the top level of iomem_resource.  This can lead to
bugs.

For example, when the following command line is executed to write some
memory in CXL memory range via /dev/mem,

 $ dd if=data of=/dev/mem bs=$((1 &lt;&lt; 10)) seek=$((0x490000000 &gt;&gt; 10)) count=1
 dd: error writing '/dev/mem': Bad address
 1+0 records in
 0+0 records out
 0 bytes copied, 0.0283507 s, 0.0 kB/s

the command fails as expected.  However, the error code is wrong.  It
should be "Operation not permitted" instead of "Bad address".  More
seriously, the /dev/mem permission checking in devmem_is_allowed() passes
incorrectly.  Although the accessing is prevented later because ioremap()
isn't allowed to map system RAM, it is a potential security issue.  During
command executing, the following warning is reported in the kernel log for
calling ioremap() on system RAM.

 ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000490000000 - 0x0000000490000fff
 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 416 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:216 __ioremap_caller.constprop.0+0x131/0x35d
 Call Trace:
  memremap+0xcb/0x184
  xlate_dev_mem_ptr+0x25/0x2f
  write_mem+0x94/0xfb
  vfs_write+0x128/0x26d
  ksys_write+0xac/0xfe
  do_syscall_64+0x9a/0xfd
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

The details of command execution process are as follows.  In the above
resource tree, "System RAM" is a descendant of "CXL Window 0" instead of a
top level resource.  So, region_intersects() will report no System RAM
resources in the CXL memory region incorrectly, because it only checks the
top level resources.  Consequently, devmem_is_allowed() will return 1
(allow access via /dev/mem) for CXL memory region incorrectly. 
Fortunately, ioremap() doesn't allow to map System RAM and reject the
access.

So, region_intersects() needs to be fixed to work correctly with the
resource tree with "System RAM" not at top level as above.  To fix it, if
we found a unmatched resource in the top level, we will continue to search
matched resources in its descendant resources.  So, we will not miss any
matched resources in resource tree anymore.

In the new implementation, an example resource tree

|------------- "CXL Window 0" ------------|
|-- "System RAM" --|

will behave similar as the following fake resource tree for
region_intersects(, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM, ),

|-- "System RAM" --||-- "CXL Window 0a" --|

Where "CXL Window 0a" is part of the original "CXL Window 0" that
isn't covered by "System RAM".
