x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space

x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space

commit ea72ce5da22806d5713f3ffb39a6d5ae73841f93 upstream.

iounmap() on x86 occasionally fails to unmap because the provided valid
ioremap address is not below high_memory. It turned out that this
happens due to KASLR.

KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end to
randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and vmemmap
regions. It thereby limits the size of the direct map by using the
installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for hot-plug
memory. This limitation is done to gain more randomization space
because otherwise only the holes between the direct map, vmalloc,
vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing.

The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, so
the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths still
operate under the assumption that the available address space can be
determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1
downwards. That means the first allocation happens past the end of the
direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space, which
causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and consequently
causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses.

MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS cannot be changed for that because the randomization
does not align with address bit boundaries and there are other places
which actually require to know the maximum number of address bits. All
remaining usage sites of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS have been analyzed and found
to be correct.

Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and use
that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related places
instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case PHYSMEM_END
maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR initialization and
otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as before.

To prevent future hickups add a check into add_pages() to catch callers
trying to add memory above PHYSMEM_END.

mm/memory_hotplug: fix memmap_on_memory sysfs value retrieval

commit 11684134140bb708b6e6de969a060535630b1b53 upstream.

set_memmap_mode() stores the kernel parameter memmap mode as an integer.
However, the get_memmap_mode() function utilizes param_get_bool() to fetch
the value as a boolean, leading to potential endianness issue. On
Big-endian architectures, the memmap_on_memory is consistently displayed
as 'N' regardless of its actual status.

To address this endianness problem, the solution involves obtaining the
mode as an integer. This adjustment ensures the proper display of the
memmap_on_memory parameter, presenting it as one of the following options:
Force, Y, or N.

mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource()

commit f42ce5f087eb69e47294ababd2e7e6f88a82d308 upstream.

In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after
successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block
devices could fail. In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to
perform necessary cleanup.

Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always
passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to
freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation
might have been performed with altmap support via
altmap_alloc_block_buf().

Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This
ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs
via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().

mm/memory_hotplug: add missing mem_hotplug_lock

commit 001002e73712cdf6b8d9a103648cda3040ad7647 upstream.

mm/memory_hotplug: add missing mem_hotplug_lock

commit 001002e73712cdf6b8d9a103648cda3040ad7647 upstream.

From Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:
When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing
heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock
in write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone
variables).

mhp_(de)init_memmap_on_memory() functions can change zone stats and
struct page content, but they are currently called w/o the
mem_hotplug_lock.

When memory block is being offlined and when kmemleak goes through each
populated zone, the following theoretical race conditions could occur:
CPU 0: | CPU 1:
memory_offline() |
-> offline_pages() |
-> mem_hotplug_begin() |
... |
-> mem_hotplug_done() |
| kmemleak_scan()
| -> get_online_mems()
| ...
-> mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() |
[not protected by mem_hotplug_begin/done()]|
Marks memory section as offline, | Retrieves zone_start_pfn
poisons vmemmap struct pages and updates | and struct page members.
the zone related data |
| ...
| -> put_online_mems()

Fix this by ensuring mem_hotplug_lock is taken before performing
mhp_init_memmap_on_memory(). Also ensure that
mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() holds the lock.

online/offline_pages() are currently only called from
memory_block_online/offline(), so it is safe to move the locking there.

mm/memory_hotplug: use pfn math in place of direct struct page manipulation

commit 1640a0ef80f6d572725f5b0330038c18e98ea168 upstream.

When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers
directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed
to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use pfn calculation to
handle it properly.

Without the fix, a wrong number of page might be skipped. Since skip cannot be
negative, scan_movable_page() will end early and might miss a movable page with
-ENOENT. This might fail offline_pages(). No bug is reported. The fix comes
from code inspection.

mm/memory_hotplug: support memmap_on_memory when memmap is not aligned to pageblocks

Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block
sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks. This is
because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be
pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly.

This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than
required for vmemmap space. This helps the start address to be page block
aligned with different memory block sizes. Using this facility implies
the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock. This
allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with different
memory block size values.

For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4
pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a
reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.

mm/memory_hotplug: document the signal_pending() check in offline_pages()

Let's update the documentation that any signal is sufficient, and add a
comment that not only checking for fatal signals is historical baggage:
changing it now could break existing user space. although unlikely.

For example, when an app provides a custom SIGALRM handler and triggers
memory offlining, the timeout cmd would no longer stop memory offlining,
because SIGALRM would no longer be considered a fatal signal.

Note that using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending() is
an anti-pattern, but slowly deprecating that behavior to eventually
change it in the far future is probably not worth the effort. If this
ever becomes relevant for user-space, we might want to rethink.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2023-06-24-19-15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

- Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

- Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

- Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

- Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
prevalence of page rescanning

- Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
get_user_pages() interface

- Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree

- Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code

- David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for
get_user_pages()

- Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization
work for the vmalloc code

- Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,

- SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code

- Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
device refcounting

- Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code

- Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses

- Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
and directio access to file mappings

- John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

- ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign

- Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock

- Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment
from 128 to 8

- Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by
reorganizing the LRU management

- Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the
buffer_head code

- Vishal Moola also has done some folio conversion work

- Matthew Wilcox has removed the remnants of the pagevec code - their
functionality is migrated over to struct folio_batch
