Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton 9d7bea186b userfaultfd: remove redundant check in vm_uffd_ops()
Lorenzo says:

  static const struct vm_uffd_ops *vma_uffd_ops(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
  {
          if (vma_is_anonymous(vma))
                  return &anon_uffd_ops;
          return vma->vm_ops ? vma->vm_ops->uffd_ops : NULL;
  }

  This is doing a redundant check _and_ making life confusing, as if
  !vma->vm_ops is a condition that can be reached there, it can't, as
  vma_is_anonymous() is literally a !vma->vm_ops check :)

Remove the redundant check.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton df3ee3b3bb userfaultfd: refuse to __mfill_atomic_pte() for unsupported VMAs
__mfill_atomic_pte() unconditionally dereferences ops because there is an
assumption that VMAs that can undergo mfill_* operations are vetted on
registration and must have valid vm_uffd_ops.

Add a guard against potential bugs and make sure __mfill_atomic_pte()
bails out if ops is NULL.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton 85668fda93 userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry
Patch series "userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry", v2.

... and two more small fixes.


This patch (of 3):

mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops the VMA lock for copy_from_user() and
reacquires it afterwards.  The destination VMA can be replaced during that
window.

The existing check compares vma_uffd_ops() before and after the retry, but
if a shmem VMA with MAP_SHARED is replaced with a shmem VMA with
MAP_PRIVATE (or vice versa) the replacement goes undetected.

The change from MAP_PRIVATE to MAP_SHARED will treat the folio allocated
with shmem_alloc_folio() as anonymous and this will cause BUG() when
mfill_atomic_install_pte() will try to folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

The change from MAP_SHARED to MAP_PRIVATE allows injection of folios into
the page cache of the original VMA.

There is no need to change for hugetlb because it never uses
mfill_copy_folio_retry().

Introduce helpers for more comprehensive comparison of VMA state:
- mfill_retry_state_save() to save the relevant VMA state into a struct
  mfill_retry_state (original uffd_ops, relevant VMA flags, vm_file and
  pgoff) before dropping the lock
- mfill_retry_state_changed() to compare the saved state with the state
  of the VMA acquired after retaking the locks
- mfill_retry_state_put() to release vm_file pinning.

Use DEFINE_FREE() cleanup to wrap mfill_retry_state_put() to avoid
complicating error handling paths in mfill_copy_folio_retry().

David CarlierandAndrew Morton 292411fda2 mm/userfaultfd: detect VMA type change after copy retry in mfill_copy_folio_retry()
mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops mmap_lock for the copy_from_user() call.
During this window, the VMA can be replaced with a different type (e.g.
hugetlb), making the caller's ops pointer stale.  Subsequent use of the
stale ops would dispatch into the wrong per-vma handlers.

Capture the VMA's ops via vma_uffd_ops() before dropping the lock and
compare against the current vma_uffd_ops() after re-acquiring it.
Return -EAGAIN if they differ so the operation can be retried.  This
avoids comparing against the caller's ops which may have been
overridden to anon_uffd_ops for MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings.

Implement these methods in shmem along with vm_uffd_ops->alloc_folio() and
drop shmem_mfill_atomic_pte().

Since userfaultfd now does not reference any functions from shmem, drop
include if linux/shmem_fs.h from mm/userfaultfd.c

mfill_atomic_install_pte() is not used anywhere outside of mm/userfaultfd,
make it static.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton ad9ac30813 userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops->alloc_folio()
and use it to refactor mfill_atomic_pte_zeroed_folio() and
mfill_atomic_pte_copy().

mfill_atomic_pte_zeroed_folio() and mfill_atomic_pte_copy() perform
almost identical actions:
* allocate a folio
* update folio contents (either copy from userspace of fill with zeros)
* update page tables with the new folio

Split a __mfill_atomic_pte() helper that handles both cases and uses newly
introduced vm_uffd_ops->alloc_folio() to allocate the folio.

Pass the ops structure from the callers to __mfill_atomic_pte() to later
allow using anon_uffd_ops for MAP_PRIVATE mappings of file-backed VMAs.

Note, that the new ops method is called alloc_folio() rather than
folio_alloc() to avoid clash with alloc_tag macro folio_alloc().

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton dfc4d77182 shmem, userfaultfd: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE
When userspace resolves a page fault in a shmem VMA with UFFDIO_CONTINUE
it needs to get a folio that already exists in the pagecache backing that
VMA.

Instead of using shmem_get_folio() for that, add a get_folio_noalloc()
method to 'struct vm_uffd_ops' that will return a folio if it exists in
the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff.

Implement get_folio_noalloc() method for shmem and slightly refactor
userfaultfd's mfill_get_vma() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support
this new API.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton 0f48947c42 userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops
Current userfaultfd implementation works only with memory managed by core
MM: anonymous, shmem and hugetlb.

First, there is no fundamental reason to limit userfaultfd support only to
the core memory types and userfaults can be handled similarly to regular
page faults provided a VMA owner implements appropriate callbacks.

Second, historically various code paths were conditioned on
vma_is_anonymous(), vma_is_shmem() and is_vm_hugetlb_page() and some of
these conditions can be expressed as operations implemented by a
particular memory type.

Introduce vm_uffd_ops extension to vm_operations_struct that will delegate
memory type specific operations to a VMA owner.

Operations for anonymous memory are handled internally in userfaultfd
using anon_uffd_ops that implicitly assigned to anonymous VMAs.

Start with a single operation, ->can_userfault() that will verify that a
VMA meets requirements for userfaultfd support at registration time.

Implement that method for anonymous, shmem and hugetlb and move relevant
parts of vma_can_userfault() into the new callbacks.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton f5f035a724 userfaultfd: retry copying with locks dropped in mfill_atomic_pte_copy()
Implementation of UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous memory might fail to copy data
from userspace buffer when the destination VMA is locked (either with
mm_lock or with per-VMA lock).

In that case, mfill_atomic() releases the locks, retries copying the data
with locks dropped and then re-locks the destination VMA and
re-establishes PMD.

Since this retry-reget dance is only relevant for UFFDIO_COPY and it never
happens for other UFFDIO_ operations, make it a part of
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() that actually implements UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous
memory.

As a temporal safety measure to avoid breaking biscection
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() makes sure to never return -ENOENT so that the
loop in mfill_atomic() won't retry copiyng outside of mmap_lock.  This is
removed later when shmem implementation will be updated later and the loop
in mfill_atomic() will be adjusted.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton db0062d2c0 userfaultfd: introduce struct mfill_state
mfill_atomic() passes a lot of parameters down to its callees.

Aggregate them all into mfill_state structure and pass this structure to
functions that implement various UFFDIO_ commands.

Tracking the state in a structure will allow moving the code that retries
copying of data for UFFDIO_COPY into mfill_atomic_pte_copy() and make the
loop in mfill_atomic() identical for all UFFDIO operations on PTE-mapped
memory.

The mfill_state definition is deliberately local to mm/userfaultfd.c,
hence shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() is not updated.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton c0620487fc userfaultfd: introduce mfill_copy_folio_locked() helper
Patch series "mm, kvm: allow uffd support in guest_memfd", v4.

These patches enable support for userfaultfd in guest_memfd.

As the groundwork I refactored userfaultfd handling of PTE-based memory
types (anonymous and shmem) and converted them to use vm_uffd_ops for
allocating a folio or getting an existing folio from the page cache. 
shmem also implements callbacks that add a folio to the page cache after
the data passed in UFFDIO_COPY was copied and remove the folio from the
page cache if page table update fails.

In order for guest_memfd to notify userspace about page faults, there are
new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR and VM_FAULT_UFFD_MISSING that a ->fault() handler
can return to inform the page fault handler that it needs to call
handle_userfault() to complete the fault.

Nikita helped to plumb these new goodies into guest_memfd and provided
basic tests to verify that guest_memfd works with userfaultfd.  The
handling of UFFDIO_MISSING in guest_memfd requires ability to remove a
folio from page cache, the best way I could find was exporting
filemap_remove_folio() to KVM.

I deliberately left hugetlb out, at least for the most part.  hugetlb
handles acquisition of VMA and more importantly establishing of parent
page table entry differently than PTE-based memory types.  This is a
different abstraction level than what vm_uffd_ops provides and people
objected to exposing such low level APIs as a part of VMA operations.

Also, to enable uffd in guest_memfd refactoring of hugetlb is not needed
and I prefer to delay it until the dust settles after the changes in this
set.


This patch (of 4):

Split copying of data when locks held from mfill_atomic_pte_copy() into a
helper function mfill_copy_folio_locked().

This makes improves code readability and makes complex
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() function easier to comprehend.

No functional change.

Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)andAndrew Morton a06eb2f827 mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_t
Update the vma_modify_flags() and vma_modify_flags_uffd() functions to
accept a vma_flags_t parameter rather than a vm_flags_t one, and propagate
the changes as needed to implement this change.

Also add vma_flags_reset_once() in replacement of vm_flags_reset_once(). We
still need to be careful here because we need to avoid tearing, so maintain
the assumption that the first system word set of flags are the only ones
that require protection from tearing, and retain this functionality.

We can copy the remainder of VMA flags above 64 bits normally. But
hopefully by the time that happens, we will have replaced the logic that
requires these WRITE_ONCE()'s with something else.

We also replace instances of vm_flags_reset() with a simple write of VMA
flags. We are no longer perform a number of checks, most notable of all the
VMA flags asserts becase:

1. We might be operating on a VMA that is not yet added to the tree.

2. We might be operating on a VMA that is now detached.

3. Really in all but core code, you should be using vma_desc_xxx().

4. Other VMA fields are manipulated with no such checks.

5. It'd be egregious to have to add variants of flag functions just to
   account for cases such as the above, especially when we don't do so for
   other VMA fields. Drivers are the problematic cases and why it was
   especially important (and also for debug as VMA locks were introduced),
   the mmap_prepare work is solving this generally.

Additionally, we can fairly safely assume by this point the soft dirty
flags are being set correctly, so it's reasonable to drop this also.

Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect this.

Jianhui ZhouandAndrew Morton 0217c7fb4d mm/userfaultfd: fix hugetlb fault mutex hash calculation
In mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), linear_page_index() is used to calculate the
page index for hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash().  However, linear_page_index()
returns the index in PAGE_SIZE units, while hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash()
expects the index in huge page units.  This mismatch means that different
addresses within the same huge page can produce different hash values,
leading to the use of different mutexes for the same huge page.  This can
cause races between faulting threads, which can corrupt the reservation
map and trigger the BUG_ON in resv_map_release().

Fix this by introducing hugetlb_linear_page_index(), which returns the
page index in huge page granularity, and using it in place of
linear_page_index().

Kevin BrodskyandAndrew Morton 0a096ab7a3 mm: introduce generic lazy_mmu helpers
The implementation of the lazy MMU mode is currently entirely
arch-specific; core code directly calls arch helpers:
arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode().

We are about to introduce support for nested lazy MMU sections.  As things
stand we'd have to duplicate that logic in every arch implementing
lazy_mmu - adding to a fair amount of logic already duplicated across
lazy_mmu implementations.

This patch therefore introduces a new generic layer that calls the
existing arch_* helpers. Two pair of calls are introduced:

* lazy_mmu_mode_enable() ... lazy_mmu_mode_disable()
    This is the standard case where the mode is enabled for a given
    block of code by surrounding it with enable() and disable()
    calls.

* lazy_mmu_mode_pause() ... lazy_mmu_mode_resume()
    This is for situations where the mode is temporarily disabled
    by first calling pause() and then resume() (e.g. to prevent any
    batching from occurring in a critical section).

The documentation in <linux/pgtable.h> will be updated in a subsequent
patch.

No functional change should be introduced at this stage.  The
implementation of enable()/resume() and disable()/pause() is currently
identical, but nesting support will change that.

Most of the call sites have been updated using the following Coccinelle
script:

@@
@@
{
...
- arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_enable();
...
- arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_disable();
...
}

@@
@@
{
...
- arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_pause();
...
- arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_resume();
...
}

A couple of notes regarding x86:

* Xen is currently the only case where explicit handling is required
  for lazy MMU when context-switching. This is purely an
  implementation detail and using the generic lazy_mmu_mode_*
  functions would cause trouble when nesting support is introduced,
  because the generic functions must be called from the current task.
  For that reason we still use arch_leave() and arch_enter() there.

* x86 calls arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() unconditionally in a few
  places, but only defines it if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected, and we
  are removing the fallback in <linux/pgtable.h>. Add a new fallback
  definition to <asm/pgtable.h> to keep things building.

Chunyan ZhangandAndrew Morton 277a1ae387 mm: softdirty: add pgtable_supports_soft_dirty()
Patch series "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V", v15.

This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified
now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for
RISC-V.

The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own
checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words
for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the
kernel is running.  Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef
CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by
the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.

This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty,
madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and
no regressions are observed in any of the other tests.


This patch (of 6):

Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it
unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource.

Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations
to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is
running.

This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of
pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture,
no change in behavior is expected.

We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(),
so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

Lorenzo StoakesandAndrew Morton 9ff30bb9ab mm: remove non_swap_entry() and use softleaf helpers instead
There is simply no need for the hugely confusing concept of 'non-swap'
swap entries now we have the concept of softleaf entries and relevant
softleaf_xxx() helpers.

Adjust all callers to use these instead and remove non_swap_entry()
altogether.

No functional change intended.

Lorenzo StoakesandAndrew Morton 68aa2fdbf5 mm: introduce leaf entry type and use to simplify leaf entry logic
The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:

The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:

 - Nothing ('none' entries)
 - Present entries*
 - Everything else that will cause a fault which the kernel handles

* Present entries are either entries the hardware can navigate without page
  fault or special cases like NUMA hint protnone or PMD with cleared
  present bit which contain hardware-valid entries modulo the present bit.

In the 'everything else' group we include swap entries, but we also
include a number of other things such as migration entries, device private
entries and marker entries.

Unfortunately this 'everything else' group expresses everything through a
swp_entry_t type, and these entries are referred to swap entries even
though they may well not contain a...  swap entry.

This is compounded by the rather mind-boggling concept of a non-swap swap
entry (checked via non_swap_entry()) and the means by which we twist and
turn to satisfy this.

This patch lays the foundation for reducing this confusion.

We refer to 'everything else' as a 'software-define leaf entry' or
'softleaf'.  for short And in fact we scoop up the 'none' entries into
this concept also so we are left with:

- Present entries.
- Softleaf entries (which may be empty).

This allows for radical simplification across the board - one can simply
convert any leaf page table entry to a leaf entry via softleaf_from_pte().

If the entry is present, we return an empty leaf entry, so it is assumed
the caller is aware that they must differentiate between the two
categories of page table entries, checking for the former via
pte_present().

As a result, we can eliminate a number of places where we would otherwise
need to use predicates to see if we can proceed with leaf page table entry
conversion and instead just go ahead and do it unconditionally.

We do so where we can, adjusting surrounding logic as necessary to
integrate the new softleaf_t logic as far as seems reasonable at this
stage.

We typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t for the time being until the
conversion can be complete, meaning everything remains compatible
regardless of which type is used.  We will eventually remove swp_entry_t
when the conversion is complete.

We introduce a new header file to keep things clear - leafops.h - this
imports swapops.h so can direct replace swapops imports without issue, and
we do so in all the files that require it.

Additionally, add new leafops.h file to core mm maintainers entry.

Lorenzo StoakesandAndrew Morton c093cf4510 mm: correctly handle UFFD PTE markers
Patch series "mm: remove is_swap_[pte, pmd]() + non-swap entries,
introduce leaf entries", v3.

There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat leaf page
tables (so far at the PTE, PMD level) as containing 'swap entries' should
they be neither empty (i.e.  p**_none() evaluating true) nor present (i.e.
p**_present() evaluating true).

However, at the same time we also have helper predicates - is_swap_pte(),
is_swap_pmd() - which are inconsistently used.

This is problematic, as it is logical to assume that should somebody wish
to operate upon a page table swap entry they should first check to see if
it is in fact one.

It also implies that perhaps, in future, we might introduce a non-present,
none page table entry that is not a swap entry.

This series resolves this issue by systematically eliminating all use of
the is_swap_pte() and is swap_pmd() predicates so we retain only the
convention that should a leaf page table entry be neither none nor present
it is a swap entry.

We also have the further issue that 'swap entry' is unfortunately a really
rather overloaded term and in fact refers to both entries for swap and for
other information such as migration entries, page table markers, and
device private entries.

We therefore have the rather 'unique' concept of a 'non-swap' swap entry.

This series therefore introduces the concept of 'software leaf entries',
of type softleaf_t, to eliminate this confusion.

A software leaf entry in this sense is any page table entry which is
non-present, and represented by the softleaf_t type.  That is - page table
leaf entries which are software-controlled by the kernel.

This includes 'none' or empty entries, which are simply represented by an
zero leaf entry value.

In order to maintain compatibility as we transition the kernel to this new
type, we simply typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t.

We introduce a number of predicates and helpers to interact with software
leaf entries in include/linux/leafops.h which, as it imports swapops.h,
can be treated as a drop-in replacement for swapops.h wherever leaf entry
helpers are used.

Since softleaf_from_[pte, pmd]() treats present entries as they were
empty/none leaf entries, this allows for a great deal of simplification of
code throughout the code base, which this series utilises a great deal.

We additionally change from swap entry to software leaf entry handling
where it makes sense to and eliminate functions from swapops.h where
software leaf entries obviate the need for the functions.


This patch (of 16):

PTE markers were previously only concerned with UFFD-specific logic - that
is, PTE entries with the UFFD WP marker set or those marked via
UFFDIO_POISON.

However since the introduction of guard markers in commit 7c53dfbdb0
("mm: add PTE_MARKER_GUARD PTE marker"), this has no longer been the case.

Issues have been avoided as guard regions are not permitted in conjunction
with UFFD, but it still leaves very confusing logic in place, most notably
the misleading and poorly named pte_none_mostly() and
huge_pte_none_mostly().

This predicate returns true for PTE entries that ought to be treated as
none, but only in certain circumstances, and on the assumption we are
dealing with H/W poison markers or UFFD WP markers.

This patch removes these functions and makes each invocation of these
functions instead explicitly check what it needs to check.

As part of this effort it introduces is_uffd_pte_marker() to explicitly
determine if a marker in fact is used as part of UFFD or not.

In the HMM logic we note that the only time we would need to check for a
fault is in the case of a UFFD WP marker, otherwise we simply encounter a
fault error (VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for H/W poisoned marker, VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV
for a guard marker), so only check for the UFFD WP case.

While we're here we also refactor code to make it easier to understand.
