Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect
the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result
in data loss in the following sequence:
1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the
pmd_t dirty and writeable
2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We
currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected.
3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since
the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean.
4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree
entry was clean.
5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could
still have been in the processor cache, and is lost.
Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in
dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync
operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate
page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in
flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.
This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.
The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.
Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:
- a few misc things
- kexec updates
- DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations
- IPC updates
- various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling
- lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up
to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the
radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for
4.11.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5.
Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches
for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches
enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to
finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the
generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the
series!
This patch (of 20):
To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault
and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully
handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to
remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.

Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information
around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more
information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of
that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it
would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the
generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in
keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault
all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces
invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions.
In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked()
with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags.
In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass
different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane
replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release
of mmap_sem.)
Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH
flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit
1e9877902d ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this
appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not
an issue.

Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()".
This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions
taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please.
It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to
get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise
VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of
__get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of
this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do
so.
Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced
with the appropriate higher-level replacement -
get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are
referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors
are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.)
This patch (of 2):
Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked().
Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*()
functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a
position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his
ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to
subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing
for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.
As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.
In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.
This bug has always existed in Linux.

This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
this function from its one user, kvm.
We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
__get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
stacks:
get_user_page_nowait():
get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
check_user_page_hwpoison():
get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
NULL, NULL)
