proc: nommu: fix empty /proc/<pid>/maps

On no-MMU, /proc/<pid>/maps reads as an empty file. This happens because
find_vma(mm, 0) always returns NULL (assuming no vma actually contains the
zero address, which is normally the case).

To fix this bug and improve the maintainability in the future, this patch
makes the no-MMU implementation as similar as possible to the MMU
implementation.

The only remaining differences are the lack of hold/release_task_mempolicy
and the extra code to shoehorn the gate vma into the iterator.

This has been tested on top of 6.5.3 on an STM32F746.

proc: nommu: /proc/<pid>/maps: release mmap read lock

proc: nommu: /proc/<pid>/maps: release mmap read lock

The no-MMU implementation of /proc/<pid>/map doesn't normally release
the mmap read lock, because it uses !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(_vml) to determine
whether to release the lock. Since _vml is NULL when the end of the
mappings is reached, the lock is not released.

Reading /proc/1/maps twice doesn't cause a hang because it only
takes the read lock, which can be taken multiple times and therefore
doesn't show any problem if the lock isn't released. Instead, you need
to perform some operation that attempts to take the write lock after
reading /proc/<pid>/maps. To actually reproduce the bug, compile the
following code as 'proc_maps_bug':

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
void *buf;
sleep(1);
buf = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
puts("mmap returned");
return 0;
}

Then, run:

./proc_maps_bug &; cat /proc/$!/maps; fg

Without this patch, mmap() will hang and the command will never
complete.

This code was incorrectly adapted from the MMU implementation, which at
the time released the lock in m_next() before returning the last entry.

The MMU implementation has diverged further from the no-MMU version since
then, so this patch brings their locking and error handling into sync,
fixing the bug and hopefully avoiding similar issues in the future.

thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
related to PMD unsharing.

- Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

"mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

- Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

- Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
tree".

- Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
reclaim.

series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

- Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
function in the series "remove generic_writepages".

swap PTEs".

- Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".

- Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

- Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
writeable+executable mappings.

The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

- Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
"mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF".

- T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
"mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

- Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
statistics".

- Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
during compaction".

- Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
"cleanup vfree and vunmap".

ths series "remove ->rw_page".

- We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
GUP".

- SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

- Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
and clean-ups" series.

- Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush

mm/nommu: factor out check for NOMMU shared mappings into is_nommu_shared_mapping()

mm/nommu: factor out check for NOMMU shared mappings into is_nommu_shared_mapping()

Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".

Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.

This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.

Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.


This patch (of 3):

We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.

Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.

Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.

No functional change intended.
