commit 8f34f1eac3820fc2722e5159acceb22545b30b0d upstream.
We tried to do something similar in b569a1760782 ("userfaultfd: wp: drop
_PAGE_UFFD_WP properly when fork") previously, but it's not doing it all
right.. A few fixes around the code path:
1. We were referencing VM_UFFD_WP vm_flags on the _old_ vma rather
than the new vma. That's overlooked in b569a1760782, so it won't work
as expected. Thanks to the recent rework on fork code
(7a4830c380f3a8b3), we can easily get the new vma now, so switch the
checks to that.
2. Dropping the uffd-wp bit in copy_huge_pmd() could be wrong if the
huge pmd is a migration huge pmd. When it happens, instead of using
pmd_uffd_wp(), we should use pmd_swp_uffd_wp(). The fix is simply to
handle them separately.
3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write migration huge pmd
entry. This also happens in copy_huge_pmd(), where we converted a
write huge migration entry into a read one.
4. In copy_nonpresent_pte(), drop uffd-wp if necessary for swap ptes.
5. In copy_present_page() when COW is enforced when fork(), we also
need to pass over the uffd-wp bit if VM_UFFD_WP is armed on the new
vma, and when the pte to be copied has uffd-wp bit set.
Remove the comment in copy_present_pte() about this. It won't help a huge
lot to only comment there, but comment everywhere would be an overkill.
Let's assume the commit messages would help.

[ Upstream commit 2799e77529c2a25492a4395db93996e3dacd762d ]
When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
if (data_race(si->flags & SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO)
swap_readpage
if (data_race(sis->flags & SWP_FS_OPS)) {
swapoff
..
p->swap_file = NULL;
..
struct file *swap_file = sis->swap_file;
struct address_space *mapping = swap_file->f_mapping;[oops!]
Note that for the pages that are swapped in through swap cache, this isn't
an issue. Because the page is locked, and the swap entry will be marked
with SWAP_HAS_CACHE, so swapoff() can not proceed until the page has been
unlocked.
Fix this race by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent
swapoff.

[ Upstream commit 22061a1ffabdb9c3385de159c5db7aac3a4df1cc ]
There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees
pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared
it, but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement
compound_mapcount: generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that
the page is still mapped when deleted. This commit fixes that, but not
in the way I hoped.
The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK)
instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has
often been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with
no pages locked, but there apply it to a single locked page.
try_to_unmap() looks more suitable for a single locked page.
However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page):
it is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs.
Copy zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now? Perhaps, but their TLB
needs are different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX cases, and couldn't
decide how far to go for anon+swap. Set that aside.
The second attempt took a different tack: make no change in truncate.c,
but modify zap_huge_pmd() to insert an invalidated huge pmd instead of
clearing it initially, then pmd_clear() between page_remove_rmap() and
unlocking at the end. Nice. But powerpc blows that approach out of the
water, with its serialize_against_pte_lookup(), and interesting pgtable
usage. It would need serious help to get working on powerpc (with a
minor optimization issue on s390 too). Set that aside.
Just add an "if (page_mapped(page)) synchronize_rcu();" or other such
delay, after unmapping in truncate_cleanup_page()? Perhaps, but though
that's likely to reduce or eliminate the number of incidents, it would
give less assurance of whether we had identified the problem correctly.
This successful iteration introduces "unmap_mapping_page(page)" instead
of try_to_unmap(), and goes the usual unmap_mapping_range_tree() route,
with an addition to details. Then zap_pmd_range() watches for this
case, and does spin_unlock(pmd_lock) if so - just like
page_vma_mapped_walk() now does in the PVMW_SYNC case. Not pretty, but
safe.
Note that unmap_mapping_page() is doing a VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked) to
assert its interface; but currently that's only used to make sure that
page->mapping is stable, and zap_pmd_range() doesn't care if the page is
locked or not. Along these lines, in invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
move the initial unmap_mapping_range() out from under page lock, before
then calling unmap_mapping_page() under page lock if still mapped.

commit e720e7d0e983bf05de80b231bccc39f1487f0f16 upstream.
There are code paths that rely on zero_pfn to be fully initialized
before core_initcall. For example, wq_sysfs_init() is a core_initcall
function that eventually results in a call to kernel_execve, which
causes a page fault with a subsequent mmput. If zero_pfn is not
initialized by then it may not get cleaned up properly and result in an
error:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:(ptrval) type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
Here is an analysis of the race as seen on a MIPS device. On this
particular MT7621 device (Ubiquiti ER-X), zero_pfn is PFN 0 until
initialized, at which point it becomes PFN 5120:
1. wq_sysfs_init calls into kobject_uevent_env at core_initcall:
kobject_uevent_env+0x7e4/0x7ec
kset_register+0x68/0x88
bus_register+0xdc/0x34c
subsys_virtual_register+0x34/0x78
wq_sysfs_init+0x1c/0x4c
do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1a8
kernel_init_freeable+0x230/0x2c8
kernel_init+0x10/0x100
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c
2. kobject_uevent_env() calls call_usermodehelper_exec() which executes
kernel_execve asynchronously.
3. Memory allocations in kernel_execve cause a page fault, bumping the
MM reference counter:
add_mm_counter_fast+0xb4/0xc0
handle_mm_fault+0x6e4/0xea0
__get_user_pages.part.78+0x190/0x37c
__get_user_pages_remote+0x128/0x360
get_arg_page+0x34/0xa0
copy_string_kernel+0x194/0x2a4
kernel_execve+0x11c/0x298
call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
4. In case zero_pfn has not been initialized yet, zap_pte_range does
not decrement the MM_ANONPAGES RSS counter and the BUG message is
triggered shortly afterwards when __mmdrop checks the ref counters:
__mmdrop+0x98/0x1d0
free_bprm+0x44/0x118
kernel_execve+0x160/0x1d8
call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c
To avoid races such as described above, initialize init_zero_pfn at
early_initcall level. Depending on the architecture, ZERO_PAGE is
either constant or gets initialized even earlier, at paging_init, so
there is no issue with initializing zero_pfn earlier.

commit 6ce64428d62026a10cb5d80138ff2f90cc21d367 upstream.
Userfaultfd self-test fails occasionally, indicating a memory corruption.
Analyzing this problem indicates that there is a real bug since mmap_lock
is only taken for read in mwriteprotect_range() and defers flushes, and
since there is insufficient consideration of concurrent deferred TLB
flushes in wp_page_copy(). Although the PTE is flushed from the TLBs in
wp_page_copy(), this flush takes place after the copy has already been
performed, and therefore changes of the page are possible between the time
of the copy and the time in which the PTE is flushed.
To make matters worse, memory-unprotection using userfaultfd also poses a
problem. Although memory unprotection is logically a promotion of PTE
permissions, and therefore should not require a TLB flush, the current
userrfaultfd code might actually cause a demotion of the architectural PTE
permission: when userfaultfd_writeprotect() unprotects memory region, it
unintentionally *clears* the RW-bit if it was already set. Note that this
unprotecting a PTE that is not write-protected is a valid use-case: the
userfaultfd monitor might ask to unprotect a region that holds both
write-protected and write-unprotected PTEs.
The scenario that happens in selftests/vm/userfaultfd is as follows:
cpu0 cpu1 cpu2
---- ---- ----
[ Writable PTE
cached in TLB ]
userfaultfd_writeprotect()
[ write-*unprotect* ]
mwriteprotect_range()
mmap_read_lock()
change_protection()
change_protection_range()
...
change_pte_range()
[ *clear* “write”-bit ]
[ defer TLB flushes ]
[ page-fault ]
...
wp_page_copy()
cow_user_page()
[ copy page ]
[ write to old
page ]
...
set_pte_at_notify()
A similar scenario can happen:
cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3
---- ---- ---- ----
[ Writable PTE
cached in TLB ]
userfaultfd_writeprotect()
[ write-protect ]
[ deferred TLB flush ]
userfaultfd_writeprotect()
[ write-unprotect ]
[ deferred TLB flush]
[ page-fault ]
wp_page_copy()
cow_user_page()
[ copy page ]
... [ write to page ]
set_pte_at_notify()
This race exists since commit 292924b26024 ("userfaultfd: wp: apply
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit"). Yet, as Yu Zhao pointed, these races became apparent
since commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification") which made
wp_page_copy() more likely to take place, specifically if page_count(page)
> 1.
To resolve the aforementioned races, check whether there are pending
flushes on uffd-write-protected VMAs, and if there are, perform a flush
before doing the COW.
Further optimizations will follow to avoid during uffd-write-unprotect
unnecassary PTE write-protection and TLB flushes.

commit 3272cfc2525b3a2810a59312d7a1e6f04a0ca3ef upstream.
page structs are not guaranteed to be contiguous for gigantic pages. The
routine copy_huge_page_from_user can encounter gigantic pages, yet it
assumes page structs are contiguous when copying pages from user space.
Since page structs for the target gigantic page are not contiguous, the
data copied from user space could overwrite other pages not associated
with the gigantic page and cause data corruption.
Non-contiguous page structs are generally not an issue. However, they can
exist with a specific kernel configuration and hotplug operations. For
example: Configure the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and
!CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Then, hotplug add memory for the area where
the gigantic page will be allocated.

commit 9fd6dad1261a541b3f5fa7dc5b152222306e6702 upstream.
Currently, the follow_pfn function is exported for modules but
follow_pte is not. However, follow_pfn is very easy to misuse,
because it does not provide protections (so most of its callers
assume the page is writable!) and because it returns after having
already unlocked the page table lock.
Provide instead a simplified version of follow_pte that does
not have the pmdpp and range arguments. The older version
survives as follow_invalidate_pte() for use by fs/dax.c.

[ Upstream commit 57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0 ]
Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.
However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:
CPU 0 CPU 1
get_user_pages_fast()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
copy_page_range()
pte_alloc_map_lock()
copy_present_page()
atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
gup_pgd_range()
gup_pte_range()
pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
pte_access_permitted(pte)
try_grab_compound_head()
pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
set_pte_at();
pte_unmap_unlock()
// GUP now returns with a write protected page
The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")
Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.
Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src

Besides calling the callback on each page, apply_to_page_range also has
the effect of pre-faulting all PTEs for the range. To support callers
that only need the pre-faulting, make the callback optional.

Both of the mm pointers are not needed after commit 7a4830c380f3
("mm/fork: Pass new vma pointer into copy_page_range()").
Jason Gunthorpe also reported that the ordering of copy_page_range() is
odd. Since working at it, reorder the parameters to be logical, by (1)
always put the dst_* fields to be before src_* fields, and (2) keep the
same type of parameters together.

In commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork()
for ptes") we write-protected the PTE before doing the page pinning
check, in order to avoid a race with concurrent fast-GUP pinning (which
doesn't take the mm semaphore or the page table lock).
That trick doesn't actually work - it doesn't handle memory ordering
properly, and doing so would be prohibitively expensive.
It also isn't really needed. While we're moving in the direction of
allowing and supporting page pinning without marking the pinned area
with MADV_DONTFORK, the fact is that we've never really supported this
kind of odd "concurrent fork() and page pinning", and doing the
serialization on a pte level is just wrong.
We can add serialization with a per-mm sequence counter, so we know how
to solve that race properly, but we'll do that at a more appropriate
time. Right now this just removes the write protect games.
It also turns out that the write protect games actually break on Power,
as reported by Aneesh Kumar:
"Architecture like ppc64 expects set_pte_at to be not used for updating
a valid pte. This is further explained in commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm:
Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit")"
and the code triggered a warning there:

This allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on
the source mm.
Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is pinned
or not. The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned(). However
that's good enough for now. Especially, with the newly added
mm->has_pinned flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never
pinned any pages.
It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within
copy_one_pte(). Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table
locks held for both the parent and child processes. So the page
allocation needs to be done outside copy_one_pte().
Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick
to block concurrent fast-gup. Comments in the function should explain
better in place.
Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we
didn't reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially
there's chance to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on
the same swp entry. However that should be harmless since even if it
happens, the same function (add_swap_count_continuation()) will return
directly noticing that there're enough space for the swp counter. So
instead of a standalone stable patch, it is touched up in this patch
directly.

Commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification") reorganized all
the code around the page re-use vs copy, but in the process also moved
the final unlock_page() around to after the wp_page_reuse() call.
That normally doesn't matter - but it means that the unlock_page() is
now done after releasing the page table lock. Again, not a big deal,
you'd think.
But it turns out that it's very wrong indeed, because once we've
released the page table lock, we've basically lost our only reference to
the page - the page tables - and it could now be free'd at any time. We
do hold the mmap_sem, so no actual unmap() can happen, but madvise can
come in and a MADV_DONTNEED will zap the page range - and free the page.
So now the page may be free'd just as we're unlocking it, which in turn
will usually trigger a "Bad page state" error in the freeing path. To
make matters more confusing, by the time the debug code prints out the
page state, the unlock has typically completed and everything looks fine
again.
This all doesn't happen in any normal situations, but it does trigger
with the dirtyc0w_child LTP test. And it seems to trigger much more
easily (but not expclusively) on s390 than elsewhere, probably because
s390 doesn't do the "batch pages up for freeing after the TLB flush"
that gives the unlock_page() more time to complete and makes the race
harder to hit.

This completes the split of the non-present and present pte cases by
moving the check for the source pte being present into the single
caller, which also means that we clearly separate out the very different
return value case for a non-present pte.
The present pte case currently always succeeds.
This is a pure code re-organization with no semantic change: the intent
is to make it much easier to add a new return case to the present pte
case for when we do early COW at page table copy time.
This was split out from the previous commit simply to make it easy to
visually see that there were no semantic changes from this code
re-organization.

This is a purely mechanical split of the copy_one_pte() function. It's
not immediately obvious when looking at the diff because of the
indentation change, but the way to see what is going on in this commit
is to use the "-w" flag to not show pure whitespace changes, and you see
how the first part of copy_one_pte() is simply lifted out into a
separate function.
And since the non-present case is marked unlikely, don't make the new
function be inlined. Not that gcc really seems to care, since it looks
like it will inline it anyway due to the whole "single callsite for
static function" logic. In fact, code generation with the function
split is almost identical to before. But not marking it inline is the
right thing to do.
This is pure prep-work and cleanup for subsequent changes.

__apply_to_page_range() is also used to change and/or allocate
page-table pages in the vmalloc area of the address space. Make sure
these changes get synchronized to other page-tables in the system by
calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() when necessary.
The impact appears limited to x86-32, where apply_to_page_range may miss
updating the PMD. That leads to explosions in drivers like

Merge emailed patches from Peter Xu:
"This is a small series that I picked up from Linus's suggestion to
simplify cow handling (and also make it more strict) by checking
against page refcounts rather than mapcounts.
This makes uffd-wp work again (verified by running upmapsort)"
Note: this is horrendously bad timing, and making this kind of
fundamental vm change after -rc3 is not at all how things should work.
The saving grace is that it really is a a nice simplification:
8 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 120 deletions(-)
The reason for the bad timing is that it turns out that commit
17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around 'COW can break either way'
issue" broke not just UFFD functionality (as Peter noticed), but Mikulas
Patocka also reports that it caused issues for strace when running in a
DAX environment with ext4 on a persistent memory setup.
And we can't just revert that commit without re-introducing the original
issue that is a potential security hole, so making COW stricter (and in
the process much simpler) is a step to then undoing the forced COW that
broke other uses.

Recently we found regression when running will_it_scale/page_fault3 test
on ARM64. Over 70% down for the multi processes cases and over 20% down
for the multi threads cases. It turns out the regression is caused by
commit 89b15332af7c ("mm: drop mmap_sem before calling
balance_dirty_pages() in write fault").
The test mmaps a memory size file then write to the mapping, this would
make all memory dirty and trigger dirty pages throttle, that upstream
commit would release mmap_sem then retry the page fault. The retried
page fault would see correct PTEs installed then just fall through to
spurious TLB flush. The regression is caused by the excessive spurious
TLB flush. It is fine on x86 since x86's spurious TLB flush is no-op.
We could just skip the spurious TLB flush to mitigate the regression.
