mm: gup: stop abusing try_grab_folio

commit f442fa6141379a20b48ae3efabee827a3d260787 upstream.

A kernel warning was reported when pinning folio in CMA memory when
launching SEV virtual machine. The splat looks like:

[ 464.325306] WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 6734 at mm/gup.c:1313 __get_user_pages+0x423/0x520

[ 464.325616] sev_mem_enc_register_region+0x81/0x130 [kvm_amd]

Per the analysis done by yangge, when starting the SEV virtual machine, it
will call pin_user_pages_fast(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin the memory.
But the page is in CMA area, so fast GUP will fail then fallback to the
slow path due to the longterm pinnalbe check in try_grab_folio().

The slow path will try to pin the pages then migrate them out of CMA area.
But the slow path also uses try_grab_folio() to pin the page, it will
also fail due to the same check then the above warning is triggered.

In addition, the try_grab_folio() is supposed to be used in fast path and
it elevates folio refcount by using add ref unless zero. We are guaranteed
to have at least one stable reference in slow path, so the simple atomic add
could be used. The performance difference should be trivial, but the
misuse may be confusing and misleading.

Redefined try_grab_folio() to try_grab_folio_fast(), and try_grab_page()
to try_grab_folio(), and use them in the proper paths. This solves both
the abuse and the kernel warning.

The proper naming makes their usecase more clear and should prevent from
abusing in the future.

This BUG is the VM_BUG_ON(!in_atomic() && !irqs_disabled()) assertion in
folio_ref_try_add_rcu() for non-SMP kernel.

The process_vm_readv() calls GUP to pin the THP. An optimization for
pinning THP instroduced by commit 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp
gup even for "pages != NULL"") calls try_grab_folio() to pin the THP,
but try_grab_folio() is supposed to be called in atomic context for
non-SMP kernel, for example, irq disabled or preemption disabled, due to
the optimization introduced by commit e286781d5f2e ("mm: speculative
page references").

The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") is not actually the root cause although it was bisected to.
It just makes the problem exposed more likely.

The follow up discussion suggested the optimization for non-SMP kernel
may be out-dated and not worth it anymore [1]. So removing the
optimization to silence the BUG.

However calling try_grab_folio() in GUP slow path actually is
unnecessary, so the following patch will clean this up.

mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly

mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly

[ Upstream commit 631426ba1d45a8672b177ee85ad4cabe760dd131 ]

Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and
mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ /
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT.

While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the
desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave
like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever.

A reproducer can be found at [1].

The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by
faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way:
it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making
madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never
setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages().

__get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in
faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong.

So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect
VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT
from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to
madvise_populate().

But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking
the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In
the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with
different error codes than we'd want to.

As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let
it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new
FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from
madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there.

With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as
documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

mm/gup: explicitly define and check internal GUP flags, disallow FOLL_TOUCH

[ Upstream commit 0f20bba1688bdf3b32df0162511a67d4eda15790 ]

Rather than open-coding a list of internal GUP flags in
is_valid_gup_args(), define which ones are internal.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.

The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

mm/gup: don't implicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT

Commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from
gup/gup_fast") from 2012 documented as the primary reason why we would want
to handle NUMA hinting faults from GUP:

KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
handle_mm_fault.

That is still the case today, and relevant KVM code has been converted to
manually set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. So let's stop setting
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT for all GUP users and cross fingers that not that
many other ones that really require such handling for autonuma remain.

Possible interaction with MMU notifiers:

Assume a driver obtains a page using get_user_pages() to map it into
a secondary MMU, and uses the MMU notifier framework to get notified on
changes.

Assume get_user_pages() succeeded on a PROT_NONE-mapped page (because
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT is not set) in an accessible VMA and the page is
mapped into a secondary MMU. Once user space would turn that mapping
inaccessible using mprotect(PROT_NONE), the actual PTE in the page table
might not change. If the MMU notifier would be smart and optimize for that
case "why notify if the PTE didn't change", that could be problematic.

At least change_pmd_range() with MMU_NOTIFY_PROTECTION_VMA for now does an
unconditional mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and should be fine.

Note that even if a PTE in an accessible VMA is pte_protnone(), the
underlying page might be accessed by a secondary MMU that does not set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT, and test_young() MMU notifiers would return "true".

mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT

Unfortunately commit 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") missed that follow_page() and

mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT

Unfortunately commit 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") missed that follow_page() and
follow_trans_huge_pmd() never implicitly set FOLL_NUMA because they really
don't want to fail on PROT_NONE-mapped pages -- either due to NUMA hinting
or due to inaccessible (PROT_NONE) VMAs.

As spelled out in commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting
page faults from gup/gup_fast"): "Other follow_page callers like KSM
should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use
follow_page instead of get_user_pages."

liubo reported [1] that smaps_rollup results are imprecise, because they
miss accounting of pages that are mapped PROT_NONE. Further, it's easy to
reproduce that KSM no longer works on inaccessible VMAs on x86-64, because
pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() also indictaes "true" in inaccessible VMAs,
and follow_page() refuses to return such pages right now.

As KVM really depends on these NUMA hinting faults, removing the
pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() handling in GUP code completely is not
really an option.

To fix the issues at hand, let's revive FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT
to restore the original behavior for now and add better comments.

Set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT independent of FOLL_FORCE in
is_valid_gup_args(), to add that flag for all external GUP users.

Note that there are three GUP-internal __get_user_pages() users that don't
end up calling is_valid_gup_args() and consequently won't get
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT set.

1) get_dump_page(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE and wouldn't have honored NUMA
hinting faults already.
2) populate_vma_page_range(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE on accessible VMAs, so it wouldn't have
honored NUMA hinting faults already.
3) faultin_vma_page_range(): we similarly don't want to handle NUMA
hinting faults.

To make the combination of FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT work in
inaccessible VMAs properly, we have to perform VMA accessibility checks in
gup_can_follow_protnone().

As GUP-fast should reject such pages either way in
pte_access_permitted()/pmd_access_permitted() -- for example on x86-64 and
arm64 that both implement pte_protnone() -- let's just always fallback to
ordinary GUP when stumbling over pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone().

As Linus notes [2], honoring NUMA faults might only make sense for
selected GUP users.

So we should really see if we can instead let relevant GUP callers specify
it manually, and not trigger NUMA hinting faults from GUP as default.
Prepare for that by making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT an external GUP flag and
adding appropriate documenation.

While at it, remove a stale comment from follow_trans_huge_pmd(): That
comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa:
serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which noted:

THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration
entries at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages

Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer
applies. Let's drop it.

mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"

The acceleration of THP was done with ctx.page_mask, however it'll be
ignored if **pages is non-NULL.

The old optimization was introduced in 2013 in 240aadeedc4a ("mm:
accelerate mm_populate() treatment of THP pages"). It didn't explain why
we can't optimize the **pages non-NULL case. It's possible that at that
time the major goal was for mm_populate() which should be enough back
then.

Optimize thp for all cases, by properly looping over each subpage, doing
cache flushes, and boost refcounts / pincounts where needed in one go.

This can be verified using gup_test below:

# chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10

Before: 13992.50 ( +-8.75%)

The only path that doesn't use generic "**pages" handling is the gate vma.
Make it use the same path, meanwhile tune the next_page label upper to

mm/hugetlb: handle FOLL_DUMP well in follow_page_mask()

Patch series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp", v4.

Hugetlb has a special path for slow gup that follow_page_mask() is
actually skipped completely along with faultin_page(). It's not only
confusing, but also duplicating a lot of logics that generic gup already
has, making hugetlb slightly special.

This patchset tries to dedup the logic, by first touching up the slow gup
code to be able to handle hugetlb pages correctly with the current follow
page and faultin routines (where we're mostly there.. due to 10 years ago
we did try to optimize thp, but half way done; more below), then at the
last patch drop the special path, then the hugetlb gup will always go the
generic routine too via faultin_page().

Note that hugetlb is still special for gup, mostly due to the pgtable
walking (hugetlb_walk()) that we rely on which is currently per-arch. But
this is still one small step forward, and the diffstat might be a proof
too that this might be worthwhile.

Then for the "speed up thp" side: as a side effect, when I'm looking at
the chunk of code, I found that thp support is actually partially done.
It doesn't mean that thp won't work for gup, but as long as **pages
pointer passed over, the optimization will be skipped too. Patch 6 should
address that, so for thp we now get full speed gup.

For a quick number, "chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10"
gives me 13992.50us -> 378.50us. Gup_test is an extreme case, but just to
show how it affects thp gups.


This patch (of 8):

Firstly, the no_page_table() is meaningless for hugetlb which is a no-op
there, because a hugetlb page always satisfies:

- vma_is_anonymous() == false
- vma->vm_ops->fault != NULL

So we can already safely remove it in hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), alongside
with the page* variable.

Meanwhile, what we do in follow_hugetlb_page() actually makes sense for a
dump: we try to fault in the page only if the page cache is already
allocated. Let's do the same here for follow_page_mask() on hugetlb.

It should so far has zero effect on real dumps, because that still goes
into follow_hugetlb_page(). But this may start to influence a bit on
follow_page() users who mimics a "dump page" scenario, but hopefully in a
good way. This also paves way for unifying the hugetlb gup-slow.

mm: Don't allow write GUPs to shadow stack memory

The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a
new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has
some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to
function properly.

In userspace, shadow stack memory is writable only in very specific,
controlled ways. However, since userspace can, even in the limited
ways, modify shadow stack contents, the kernel treats it as writable
memory. As a result, without additional work there would remain many
ways for userspace to trigger the kernel to write arbitrary data to
shadow stacks via get_user_pages(, FOLL_WRITE) based operations. To
help userspace protect their shadow stacks, make this a little less
exposed by blocking writable get_user_pages() operations for shadow
stack VMAs.

Still allow FOLL_FORCE to write through shadow stack protections, as it
does for read-only protections. This is required for debugging use
cases.
