      s390/mm: avoid empty zero pages for KVM guests to avoid postcopy hangs · fa41ba0d
      Christian Borntraeger authored
      
      Right now there is a potential hang situation for postcopy migrations,
      if the guest is enabling storage keys on the target system during the
      postcopy process.
      
      For storage key virtualization, we have to forbid the empty zero page as
      the storage key is a property of the physical page frame.  As we enable
      storage key handling lazily we then drop all mappings for empty zero
      pages for lazy refaulting later on.
      
      This does not work with the postcopy migration, which relies on the
      empty zero page never triggering a fault again in the future. The reason
      is that postcopy migration will simply read a page on the target system
      if that page is a known zero page to fault in an empty zero page.  At
      the same time postcopy remembers that this page was already transferred
      - so any future userfault on that page will NOT be retransmitted again
      to avoid races.
      
      If now the guest enters the storage key mode while in postcopy, we will
      break this assumption of postcopy.
      
      The solution is to disable the empty zero page for KVM guests early on
      and not during storage key enablement. With this change, the postcopy
      migration process is guaranteed to start after no zero pages are left.
      
      As guest pages are very likely not empty zero pages anyway the memory
      overhead is also pretty small.
      
      While at it this also adds proper page table locking to the zero page
      removal.

      KVM: s390: expose no-DAT to guest and migration support · 1bab1c02
      Claudio Imbrenda authored
      
      The STFLE bit 147 indicates whether the ESSA no-DAT operation code is
      valid, the bit is not normally provided to the host; the host is
      instead provided with an SCLP bit that indicates whether guests can
      support the feature.
      
      This patch:
      * enables the STFLE bit in the guest if the corresponding SCLP bit is
        present in the host.
      * adds support for migrating the no-DAT bit in the PGSTEs
      * fixes the software interpretation of the ESSA instruction that is
        used when migrating, both for the new operation code and for the old
        "set stable", as per specifications.

      mm/hugetlb: add size parameter to huge_pte_offset() · 7868a208
      Punit Agrawal authored
      A poisoned or migrated hugepage is stored as a swap entry in the page
      tables.  On architectures that support hugepages consisting of
      contiguous page table entries (such as on arm64) this leads to ambiguity
      in determining the page table entry to return in huge_pte_offset() when
      a poisoned entry is encountered.
      
      Let's remove the ambiguity by adding a size parameter to convey
      additional information about the requested address.  Also fixup the
      definition/usage of huge_pte_offset() throughout the tree.

      mm, memory_hotplug: replace for_device by want_memblock in arch_add_memory · 3d79a728
      Michal Hocko authored
      arch_add_memory gets for_device argument which then controls whether we
      want to create memblocks for created memory sections.  Simplify the
      logic by telling whether we want memblocks directly rather than going
      through pointless negation.  This also makes the api easier to
      understand because it is clear what we want rather than nothing telling
      for_device which can mean anything.
      
      This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

      mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online · f1dd2cd1
      Michal Hocko authored
      The current memory hotplug implementation relies on having all the
      struct pages associate with a zone/node during the physical hotplug
      phase (arch_add_memory->__add_pages->__add_section->__add_zone).  In the
      vast majority of cases this means that they are added to ZONE_NORMAL.
      This has been so since 9d99aaa3 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Support memory
      hotadd without sparsemem") and it wasn't a big deal back then because
      movable onlining didn't exist yet.
      
      Much later memory hotplug wanted to (ab)use ZONE_MOVABLE for movable
      onlining 511c2aba ("mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable
      memory and portion memory") and then things got more complicated.
      Rather than reconsidering the zone association which was no longer
      needed (because the memory hotplug already depended on SPARSEMEM) a
      convoluted semantic of zone shifting has been developed.  Only the
      currently last memblock or the one adjacent to the zone_movable can be
      onlined movable.  This essentially means that the online type changes as
      the new memblocks are added.
      
      Let's simulate memory hot online manually
        $ echo 0x100000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
        $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones
        Normal Movable
      
        $ echo $((0x100000000+(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
        $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
      
        $ echo $((0x100000000+2*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
        $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
      
        $ echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
        $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Normal
      
      This is an awkward semantic because an udev event is sent as soon as the
      block is onlined and an udev handler might want to online it based on
      some policy (e.g.  association with a node) but it will inherently race
      with new blocks showing up.
      
      This patch changes the physical online phase to not associate pages with
      any zone at all.  All the pages are just marked reserved and wait for
      the onlining phase to be associated with the zone as per the online
      request.  There are only two requirements
      
      	- existing ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap
      
      	- ZONE_NORMAL precedes ZONE_MOVABLE in physical addresses
      
      the latter one is not an inherent requirement and can be changed in the
      future.  It preserves the current behavior and made the code slightly
      simpler.  This is subject to change in future.
      
      This means that the same physical online steps as above will lead to the
      following state: Normal Movable
      
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
      
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
      
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
        /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
      
      Implementation:
      The current move_pfn_range is reimplemented to check the above
      requirements (allow_online_pfn_range) and then updates the respective
      zone (move_pfn_range_to_zone), the pgdat and links all the pages in the
      pfn range with the zone/node.  __add_pages is updated to not require the
      zone and only initializes sections in the range.  This allowed to
      simplify the arch_add_memory code (s390 could get rid of quite some of
      code).
      
      devm_memremap_pages is the only user of arch_add_memory which relies on
      the zone association because it only hooks into the memory hotplug only
      half way.  It uses it to associate the new memory with ZONE_DEVICE but
      doesn't allow it to be {on,off}lined via sysfs.  This means that this
      particular code path has to call move_pfn_range_to_zone explicitly.
      
      The original zone shifting code is kept in place and will be removed in
      the follow up patch for an easier review.
      
      Please note that this patch also changes the original behavior when
      offlining a memory block adjacent to another zone (Normal vs.  Movable)
      used to allow to change its movable type.  This will be handled later.

      mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of is_zone_device_section · 1b862aec
      Michal Hocko authored
      Device memory hotplug hooks into regular memory hotplug only half way.
      It needs memory sections to track struct pages but there is no
      need/desire to associate those sections with memory blocks and export
      them to the userspace via sysfs because they cannot be onlined anyway.
      
      This is currently expressed by for_device argument to arch_add_memory
      which then makes sure to associate the given memory range with
      ZONE_DEVICE.  register_new_memory then relies on is_zone_device_section
      to distinguish special memory hotplug from the regular one.  While this
      works now, later patches in this series want to move __add_zone outside
      of arch_add_memory path so we have to come up with something else.
      
      Add want_memblock down the __add_pages path and use it to control
      whether the section->memblock association should be done.
      arch_add_memory then just trivially want memblock for everything but
      for_device hotplug.
      
      remove_memory_section doesn't need is_zone_device_section either.  We
      can simply skip all the memblock specific cleanup if there is no
      memblock for the given section.
      
      This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

      mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas · 1be7107f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      
      Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
      into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
      is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
      But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
      userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
      used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
      which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
      
      This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
      no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
      tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
      could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
      unfortunatelly.
      
      Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
      to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
      because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
      the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
      allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
      somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
      
      One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
      but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
      for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
      option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
      
      Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
      because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
      stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
      a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
      counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
      and strict non-overcommit mode.
      
      Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
      gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
      (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
      places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
      and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.
