commit 9b8b17541f13809d06f6f873325305ddbb760e3e upstream.

If a cgroup violates its memory.high constraints, we may end up unduly
penalising it.  For example, for the following hierarchy:

  A:   max high, 20 usage
  A/B: 9 high, 10 usage
  A/C: max high, 10 usage

We would end up doing the following calculation below when calculating
high delay for A/B:

  A/B: 10 - 9 = 1...
  A:   20 - PAGE_COUNTER_MAX = 21, so set max_overage to 21.

This gets worse with higher disparities in usage in the parent.

I have no idea how this disappeared from the final version of the patch,
but it is certainly Not Good(tm).  This wasn't obvious in testing because,
for a simple cgroup hierarchy with only one child, the result is usually
roughly the same.  It's only in more complex hierarchies that things go
really awry (although still, the effects are limited to a maximum of 2
seconds in schedule_timeout_killable at a maximum).

<title>slub: improve bit diffusion for freelist ptr obfuscation</title>

commit 1ad53d9fa3f6168ebcf48a50e08b170432da2257 upstream.

Under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y, the obfuscation was relatively weak
in that the ptr and ptr address were usually so close that the first XOR
would result in an almost entirely 0-byte value[1], leaving most of the
"secret" number ultimately being stored after the third XOR.  A single
blind memory content exposure of the freelist was generally sufficient to
learn the secret.

Add a swab() call to mix bits a little more.  This is a cheap way (1
cycle) to make attacks need more than a single exposure to learn the
secret (or to know _where_ the exposure is in memory).

kmalloc-32 freelist walk, before:

ptr              ptr_addr            stored value      secret
ffff90c22e019020@ffff90c22e019000 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d)

<title>mm: mempolicy: require at least one nodeid for MPOL_PREFERRED</title>

commit aa9f7d5172fac9bf1f09e678c35e287a40a7b7dd upstream.

Using an empty (malformed) nodelist that is not caught during mount option
parsing leads to a stack-out-of-bounds access.

The option string that was used was: "mpol=prefer:,".  However,
MPOL_PREFERRED requires a single node number, which is not being provided
here.

Add a check that 'nodes' is not empty after parsing for MPOL_PREFERRED's
nodeid.

<content type='text'>
commit 8380ce479010f2f779587b462a9b4681934297c3 upstream.

Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node().

In the first and the second cases page-&gt;mem_cgroup pointer is set, but
in the third it's not: memcg membership of a slab page should be
determined using the memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page-&gt;slab_cache-&gt;memcg_params.memcg .  In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page-&gt;mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.

It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).

In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state().  It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .

Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports.  It contains code from the following two patches:
  - mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()
  - mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations

The crash is due to NULL dereference at

	test_bit(idx, ms-&gt;usage-&gt;subsection_map);

due to ms-&gt;usage = NULL in pfn_section_valid()

With commit d41e2f3bd546 ("mm/hotplug: fix hot remove failure in
SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case") section_mem_map is set to NULL after
depopulate_section_mem().  This was done so that pfn_page() can work
correctly with kernel config that disables SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  With that
config pfn_to_page does

	__section_mem_map_addr(__sec) + __pfn;

where

  static inline struct page *__section_mem_map_addr(struct mem_section *section)
  {
	unsigned long map = section-&gt;section_mem_map;
	map &amp;= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
	return (struct page *)map;
  }

Now with SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled, mem_section-&gt;usage-&gt;subsection_map is
used to check the pfn validity (pfn_valid()).  Since section_deactivate
release mem_section-&gt;usage if a section is fully deactivated,
pfn_valid() check after a subsection_deactivate cause a kernel crash.

  static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
  {
  ...
	return early_section(ms) || pfn_section_valid(ms, pfn);
  }

where

  static inline int pfn_section_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn)
  {
	int idx = subsection_map_index(pfn);

	return test_bit(idx, ms-&gt;usage-&gt;subsection_map);
  }

Avoid this by clearing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP when mem_section-&gt;usage is
freed.  For architectures like ppc64 where large pages are used for
vmmemap mapping (16MB), a specific vmemmap mapping can cover multiple
sections.  Hence before a vmemmap mapping page can be freed, the kernel
needs to make sure there are no valid sections within that mapping.
Clearing the section valid bit before depopulate_section_memap enables
this.

<title>mm/swapfile.c: move inode_lock out of claim_swapfile</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d795a90e2ba024dbf2f22107ae89c210b98b08b8 upstream.

claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful,
or the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY).  And, on the other error
cases, it does not lock the inode.

This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing
and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap"
section of __do_sys_swapon().

This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE
check out of claim_swapfile().  The inode is unlocked in
"bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be
unlocked at "bad_swap".  Thus, error handling codes after the locking now
jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap".

commit 763802b53a427ed3cbd419dbba255c414fdd9e7c upstream.

Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path.  While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.

Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap().  But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.

To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:

	* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
	* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()

Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized.  The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.

Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

This is a PowerPC platform with following NUMA topology:

  available: 2 nodes (0-1)
  node 0 cpus:
  node 0 size: 0 MB
  node 0 free: 0 MB
  node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
  node 1 size: 35247 MB
  node 1 free: 30907 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   1
    0:  10  40
    1:  40  10

  possible numa nodes: 0-31

This only happens with a mmotm patch "mm/memcontrol.c: allocate
shrinker_map on appropriate NUMA node" [2] which effectively calls
kmalloc_node for each possible node.  SLUB however only allocates
kmem_cache_node on online N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodes, and relies on
node_to_mem_node to return such valid node for other nodes since commit
a561ce00b09e ("slub: fall back to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating
on memoryless node").  This is however not true in this configuration
where the _node_numa_mem_ array is not initialized for nodes 0 and 2-31,
thus it contains zeroes and get_partial() ends up accessing
non-allocated kmem_cache_node.

A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3]
where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without
patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k
kmalloc-512.  This seems to have the same underlying issue with
node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also
lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4].

This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node()
anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when
kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no
usable memory.  The "usable memory" condition is also changed from
node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly
the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures.
The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in
___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being
reached with an invalid node.

<title>mm: slub: be more careful about the double cmpxchg of freelist</title>

commit 5076190daded2197f62fe92cf69674488be44175 upstream.

This is just a cleanup addition to Jann's fix to properly update the
transaction ID for the slub slowpath in commit fd4d9c7d0c71 ("mm: slub:
add missing TID bump..").

The transaction ID is what protects us against any concurrent accesses,
but we should really also make sure to make the 'freelist' comparison
itself always use the same freelist value that we then used as the new
next free pointer.

Jann points out that if we do all of this carefully, we could skip the
transaction ID update for all the paths that only remove entries from
the lists, and only update the TID when adding entries (to avoid the ABA
issue with cmpxchg and list handling re-adding a previously seen value).

But this patch just does the "make sure to cmpxchg the same value we
used" rather than then try to be clever.

<title>mm: do not allow MADV_PAGEOUT for CoW pages</title>

commit 12e967fd8e4e6c3d275b4c69c890adc838891300 upstream.

Jann has brought up a very interesting point [1].  While shared pages
are excluded from MADV_PAGEOUT normally, CoW pages can be easily
reclaimed that way.  This can lead to all sorts of hard to debug
problems.  E.g.  performance problems outlined by Daniel [2].

There are runtime environments where there is a substantial memory
shared among security domains via CoW memory and a easy to reclaim way
of that memory, which MADV_{COLD,PAGEOUT} offers, can lead to either
performance degradation in for the parent process which might be more
privileged or even open side channel attacks.

The feasibility of the latter is not really clear to me TBH but there is
no real reason for exposure at this stage.  It seems there is no real
use case to depend on reclaiming CoW memory via madvise at this stage so
it is much easier to simply disallow it and this is what this patch
does.  Put it simply MADV_{PAGEOUT,COLD} can operate only on the
exclusively owned memory which is a straightforward semantic.
