The linear address masking (LAM) code made access_ok() more complicated,
in that it now needs to untag the address in order to verify the access
range. See commit 74c228d20a51 ("x86/uaccess: Provide untagged_addr()
and remove tags before address check").
We were able to avoid that overhead in the get_user/put_user code paths
by simply using the sign bit for the address check, and depending on the
GP fault if the address was non-canonical, which made it all independent
of LAM.
And we can do the same thing for access_ok(): simply check that the user
pointer range has the high bit clear. No need to bother with any
address bit masking.
In fact, we can go a bit further, and just check the starting address
for known small accesses ranges: any accesses that overflow will still
be in the non-canonical area and will still GP fault.
To still make syzkaller catch any potentially unchecked user addresses,
we'll continue to warn about GP faults that are caused by accesses in
the non-canonical range. But we'll limit that to purely "high bit set
and past the one-page 'slop' area".
We could probably just do that "check only starting address" for any
arbitrary range size: realistically all kernel accesses to user space
will be done starting at the low address. But let's leave that kind of
optimization for later. As it is, this already allows us to generate
simpler code and not worry about any tag bits in the address.
The one thing to look out for is the GUP address check: instead of
actually copying data in the virtual address range (and thus bad
addresses being caught by the GP fault), GUP will look up the page
tables manually. As a result, the page table limits need to be checked,
and that was previously implicitly done by the access_ok().
With the relaxed access_ok() check, we need to just do an explicit check
for TASK_SIZE_MAX in the GUP code instead. The GUP code already needs
to do the tag bit unmasking anyway, so there this is all very
straightforward, and there are no LAM issues.

untagged_addr() removes tags/metadata from the address and brings it to
the canonical form. The helper is implemented on arm64 and sparc. Both of
them do untagging based on global rules.
However, Linear Address Masking (LAM) on x86 introduces per-process
settings for untagging. As a result, untagged_addr() is now only
suitable for untagging addresses for the current proccess.
The new helper untagged_addr_remote() has to be used when the address
targets remote process. It requires the mmap lock for target mm to be
taken.

Patch series "Change the return value for page isolation functions", v3.
Now the page isolation functions did not return a boolean to indicate
success or not, instead it will return a negative error when failed
to isolate a page. So below code used in most places seem a boolean
success/failure thing, which can confuse people whether the isolation
is successful.
if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
continue;
Moreover the page isolation functions only return 0 or -EBUSY, and
most users did not care about the negative error except for few users,
thus we can convert all page isolation functions to return a boolean
value, which can remove the confusion to make code more clear.
No functional changes intended in this patch series.
This patch (of 4):
Now the folio_isolate_lru() did not return a boolean value to indicate
isolation success or not, however below code checking the return value can
make people think that it was a boolean success/failure thing, which makes
people easy to make mistakes (see the fix patch[1]).
if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
continue;
Thus it's better to check the negative error value expilictly returned by
folio_isolate_lru(), which makes code more clear per Linus's
suggestion[2]. Moreover Matthew suggested we can convert the isolation
functions to return a boolean[3], since most users did not care about the
negative error value, and can also remove the confusing of checking return
value.
So this patch converts the folio_isolate_lru() to return a boolean value,
which means return 'true' to indicate the folio isolation is successful,
and 'false' means a failure to isolation. Meanwhile changing all users'
logic of checking the isolation state.
No functional changes intended.

Patch series "continue hugetlb folio conversion", v3.
This series continues the conversion of core hugetlb functions to use
folios. This series converts many helper funtions in the hugetlb fault
path. This is in preparation for another series to convert the hugetlb
fault code paths to operate on folios.
This patch (of 8):
Convert isolate_hugetlb() to take in a folio and convert its callers to
pass a folio. Use page_folio() to convert the callers to use a folio is
safe as isolate_hugetlb() operates on a head page.

- gfn_to_page_many_atomic() already returns -1, and the only caller
checks for negative return values

Now that NULL locked doesn't have a special meaning we can just make it
non-NULL in all cases and remove the special tests.
get_user_pages() and pin_user_pages() can safely pass in a locked = 1
get_user_pages_remote) and pin_user_pages_remote() can swap in a local
variable for locked if NULL is passed.

Setting FOLL_UNLOCKABLE allows GUP to lock/unlock the mmap lock on its
own. It is a more explicit replacement for locked != NULL. This clears
the way for passing in locked = 1, without intending that the lock can be
unlocked.
Set the flag in all cases where it is used, eg locked is present in the
external interface or locked is used internally with locked = 0.

The GUP family of functions have a complex, but fairly well defined, set
of invariants for their arguments. Currently these are sprinkled about,
sometimes in duplicate through many functions.
Internally we don't follow all the invariants that the external interface
has to follow, so place these checks directly at the exported interface.
This ensures the internal functions never reach a violated invariant.
Remove the duplicated invariant checks.
The end result is to make these functions fully internal:
__get_user_pages_locked()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
__gup_longterm_locked()
And all the other functions call directly into one of these.

Patch series "Simplify the external interface for GUP", v2.
It is quite a maze of EXPORTED symbols leading up to the three actual
worker functions of GUP. Simplify this by reorganizing some of the code so
the EXPORTED symbols directly call the correct internal function with
validated and consistent arguments.
Consolidate all the assertions into one place at the top of the call
chains.
Remove some dead code.
Move more things into the mm/internal.h header
This patch (of 13):
__get_user_pages_locked() and __gup_longterm_locked() both require the
mmap lock to be held. They have a slightly unusual locked parameter that
is used to allow these functions to unlock and relock the mmap lock and
convey that fact to the caller.
Several places wrap these functions with a simple mmap_read_lock() just so
they can follow the optimized locked protocol.
Consolidate this internally to the functions. Allow internal callers to
set locked = 0 to cause the functions to acquire and release the lock on
their own.
Reorganize __gup_longterm_locked() to use the autolocking in
__get_user_pages_locked().
Replace all the places obtaining the mmap_read_lock() just to call
__get_user_pages_locked() with the new mechanism. Replace all the
internal callers of get_user_pages_unlocked() with direct calls to
__gup_longterm_locked() using the new mechanism.
A following patch will add assertions ensuring the external interface
continues to always pass in locked = 1.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support
- Removal of a unused function
x86:
- Allow compiling out SMM support
- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.
- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
- Advertise several new Intel features
- x86 Xen-for-KVM:
- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.
- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.
- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
- Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.
- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".
- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.
- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.
- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.

- Clean up the nEPT support checks.
- Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.
- Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
before the test opts in via prctl().

On architectures where the PTE/PMD is larger than the native word size
(i386-PAE for example), READ_ONCE() can do the wrong thing. Use
pmdp_get_lockless() just like we use ptep_get_lockless().

Fortunately, the last user (KSM) is gone, so let's just remove this rather

For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long
as hugetlb is configured. However, dax doesn't depend on hugetlb.
Commit 414fd080d125 ("mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax") fixed
devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as
well.
This fixes the below kernel panic:

hugetlb does not support fake write-faults (write faults without write
permissions). However, we are currently able to trigger a
FAULT_FLAG_WRITE fault on a VMA without VM_WRITE.
If we'd ever want to support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE, we'd have to teach
hugetlb to:
(1) Leave the page mapped R/O after the fake write-fault, like
maybe_mkwrite() does.
(2) Allow writing to an exclusive anon page that's mapped R/O when
FOLL_FORCE is set, like can_follow_write_pte(). E.g.,
__follow_hugetlb_must_fault() needs adjustment.
For now, it's not clear if that added complexity is really required.
History tolds us that FOLL_FORCE is dangerous and that we better limit its
use to a bare minimum.

Fortunately, we have a sanity check in hugetlb_wp() in place ever since
commit 1d8d14641fd9 ("mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared

a !PROT_WRITE VMA.
Consequently, above reproducer triggers a warning, similar to the one

So let's silence that warning by teaching GUP code that FOLL_FORCE -- so
far -- does not apply to hugetlb.
Note that FOLL_FORCE for read-access seems to be working as expected. The
assumption is that this has been broken forever, only ever since above
commit, we actually detect the wrong handling and WARN_ON_ONCE().
I assume this has been broken at least since 2014, when mm/gup.c came to
life. I failed to come up with a suitable Fixes tag quickly.

We already support reliable R/O pinning of anonymous memory. However,
assume we end up pinning (R/O long-term) a pagecache page or the shared
zeropage inside a writable private ("COW") mapping. The next write access
will trigger a write-fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive
anonymous page in the process page tables to break COW: the pinned page no
longer corresponds to the page mapped into the process' page table.
Now that FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can break COW on anything mapped into a
COW mapping, let's properly break COW first before R/O long-term
pinning something that's not an exclusive anon page inside a COW
mapping. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will break COW and map an exclusive anon page
instead that can get pinned safely.
With this change, we can stop using FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for reliable
R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings.
With this change, the new R/O long-term pinning tests for non-anonymous
memory succeed:
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with shared zeropage
ok 151 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd
ok 152 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with tmpfile
ok 153 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with huge zeropage
ok 154 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
ok 155 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 156 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with shared zeropage
ok 157 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd
ok 158 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with tmpfile
ok 159 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with huge zeropage
ok 160 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
ok 161 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 162 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
Note 1: We don't care about short-term R/O-pinning, because they have
snapshot semantics: they are not supposed to observe modifications that
happen after pinning.
As one example, assume we start direct I/O to read from a page and store
page content into a file: modifications to page content after starting
direct I/O are not guaranteed to end up in the file. So even if we'd pin
the shared zeropage, the end result would be as expected -- getting zeroes
stored to the file.
Note 2: For shared mappings we'll now always fallback to the slow path to
lookup the VMA when R/O long-term pining. While that's the necessary price
we have to pay right now, it's actually not that bad in practice: most
FOLL_LONGTERM users already specify FOLL_WRITE, for example, along with
FOLL_FORCE because they tried dealing with COW mappings correctly ...
Note 3: For users that use FOLL_LONGTERM right now without FOLL_WRITE,
such as VFIO, we'd now no longer pin the shared zeropage. Instead, we'd
populate exclusive anon pages that we can pin. There was a concern that
this could affect the memlock limit of existing setups.
For example, a VM running with VFIO could run into the memlock limit and
fail to run. However, we essentially had the same behavior already in
commit 17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either
way" issue") which got merged into some enterprise distros, and there were
not any such complaints. So most probably, we're fine.
