So far, we've implemented the new world switch with a completely different namespace, so that we could have both implementation compiled in. Let's take things one step further by adding weak aliases that have the same names as the original implementation. The weak attributes allows the new implementation to be overriden by the old one, and everything still work. At a later point, we'll be able to simply drop the old code, and everything will hopefully keep working, thanks to the aliases we have just added. This also saves us repainting all the callers.

KVM so far relies on code patching, and is likely to use it more in the future. The main issue is that our alternative system works at the instruction level, while we'd like to have alternatives at the function level. In order to cope with this, add the "hyp_alternate_select" macro that outputs a brief sequence of code that in turn can be patched, allowing an alternative function to be selected.

Contrary to the previous patch, the guest entry is fairly different from its assembly counterpart, mostly because it is only concerned with saving/restoring the GP registers, and nothing else.

Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for Vladimir :/ His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by unconditionally checking signal_pending(). We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed. We must instead pass the initial state along and use that.

Recent changes to how GFP_ATOMIC is defined seems to have broken the condition to use mips_alloc_from_contiguous() in mips_dma_alloc_coherent(). I couldn't bottom out the exact change but I think it's this commit d0164adc ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd"). GFP_ATOMIC has multiple bits set and the check for !(gfp & GFP_ATOMIC) isn't enough. The reason behind this condition is to check whether we can potentially do a sleeping memory allocation. Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() instead which should be more robust.

It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as well. This has been shown in practice: Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory ... Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009 And this will result in a kernel panic. If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state. However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to panic due to unkillable processes.

Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems") and 982792c7 ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously, there was a only every one section per block. Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to deal with this. This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing blocks with non-present sections to be offlined.

Hugh Dickins authored
Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller, which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks). (But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious, since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently. The same problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and with fstatfs in place of fstat.) v3.7 commit 0f3c42f5 ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING") explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause. shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode() in just after our delete_from_page_cache(). delete_from_page_cache() decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted. Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache, shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to "decused:"). Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization of info and sbinfo can be removed too. While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode() before that, while still in balance, instead of after). (Aside: why do we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch. I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether. Driven by this incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved.

However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del. In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg. The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take these special placeholder entries into account in region_del. The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.
