Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton 6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

Marco ElverandPeter Zijlstra 4f109baeea um: Fix incorrect __acquires/__releases annotations
With Clang's context analysis, the compiler is a bit more strict about
what goes into the __acquires/__releases annotations and can't refer to
non-existent variables.

On an UM build, mm_id.h is transitively included into mm_types.h, and we
can observe the following error (if context analysis is enabled in e.g.
stackdepot.c):

   In file included from lib/stackdepot.c:17:

         |                                                     ^~~~~~~~~

One (discarded) option was to use token_context_lock(turnstile) to just
define a token with the already used name, but that would not allow the
compiler to distinguish between different mm_id-dependent instances.

Another constraint is that struct mm_id is only declared and incomplete
in the header, so even if we tried to construct an expression to get to
the mutex instance, this would fail (including more headers transitively
everywhere should also be avoided).

Instead, just declare an mm_id-dependent helper to return the mutex, and
use the mm_id-dependent call expression in the __acquires/__releases
attributes; the compiler will consider the identity of the mutex to be
the call expression. Then using __get_turnstile() in the lock/unlock
wrappers (with context analysis enabled for mmu.c) the compiler will be
able to verify the implementation of the wrappers as-is.

We leave context analysis disabled in arch/um/kernel/skas/ for now. This
change is a preparatory change to allow enabling context analysis in
subsystems that include any of the above headers.

No functional change intended.

Tiwei BieandJohannes Berg 1e4ee5135d um: Add initial SMP support
Add initial symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support to UML. With
this support enabled, users can tell UML to start multiple virtual
processors, each represented as a separate host thread.

In UML, kthreads and normal threads (when running in kernel mode)
can be scheduled and executed simultaneously on different virtual
processors. However, the userspace code of normal threads still
runs within their respective single-threaded stubs.

That is, SMP support is currently available both within the kernel
and across different processes, but still remains limited within
threads of the same process in userspace.

Johannes Berg f11839c16c um/hostfs: define HOSTFS_ATTR_* via asm-offsets
The HOSTFS_ATTR_* values were meant to be standalone for
communication between hostfs's kernel and user code parts.
However, it's easy to forget that HOSTFS_ATTR_* should be
used even on the kernel side, and that wasn't consistently
done. As a result, the values need to match ATTR_* values,
which is not useful to maintain by hand. Instead, generate
them via asm-offsets like other constants that UML needs
in user-side code that aren't otherwise available in any
header files that can be included there.

automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace

macro that is provided by the compilers now.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

Benjamin BergandJohannes Berg e92e255285 um: pass FD for memory operations when needed
Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand
over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace
might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however,
it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have
access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory.

Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are
executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is
currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the
rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is
permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD,
which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory.

As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the
approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful
review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With
some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if
desired.

Benjamin BergandJohannes Berg 8420e08fe3 um: Track userspace children dying in SECCOMP mode
When in seccomp mode, we would hang forever on the futex if a child has
died unexpectedly. In contrast, ptrace mode will notice it and kill the
corresponding thread when it fails to run it.

Fix this issue using a new IRQ that is fired after a SIGCHLD and keeping
an (internal) list of all MMs. In the IRQ handler, find the affected MM
and set its PID to -1 as well as the futex variable to FUTEX_IN_KERN.

This, together with futex returning -EINTR after the signal is
sufficient to implement a race-free detection of a child dying.

Note that this also enables IRQ handling while starting a userspace
process. This should be safe and SECCOMP requires the IRQ in case the
process does not come up properly.

removal and re-addition. Rewrite the implementation based on epoll
