Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected it reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world. This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and enables memtest feature for arm/arm64. It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform. This patch (of 6): There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other platforms might benefit from this feature too.

If __get_user_pages() is faulting a significant number of hugetlb pages, usually as the result of mmap(MAP_LOCKED), it can potentially allocate a very large amount of memory. If the process has been oom killed, this will cause a lot of memory to potentially deplete memory reserves. In the same way that commit 4779280d ("mm: make get_user_pages() interruptible") aborted for pending SIGKILLs when faulting non-hugetlb memory, based on the premise of commit 462e00cc ("oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set"), hugetlb page faults now terminate when the process has been oom killed.

This fixes the "offset2lib" weakness in ASLR for arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, and x86. The problem is that if there is a leak of ASLR from the executable (ET_DYN), it means a leak of shared library offset as well (mmap), and vice versa. Further details and a PoC of this attack is available here: http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html With this patch, a PIE linked executable (ET_DYN) has its own ASLR region: $ ./show_mmaps_pie 54859ccd6000-54859ccd7000 r-xp ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 54859ced6000-54859ced7000 r--p ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 54859ced7000-54859ced8000 rw-p ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 7f75be764000-7f75be91f000 r-xp ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75be91f000-7f75beb1f000 ---p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb1f000-7f75beb23000 r--p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb23000-7f75beb25000 rw-p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb25000-7f75beb2a000 rw-p ... 7f75beb2a000-7f75beb4d000 r-xp ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed45000-7f75bed46000 rw-p ... 7f75bed46000-7f75bed47000 r-xp ... 7f75bed47000-7f75bed4c000 rw-p ... 7f75bed4c000-7f75bed4d000 r--p ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed4d000-7f75bed4e000 rw-p ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed4e000-7f75bed4f000 rw-p ... 7fffb3741000-7fffb3762000 rw-p ...

When an architecture fully supports randomizing the ELF load location, a per-arch mmap_rnd() function is used to find a randomized mmap base. In preparation for randomizing the location of ET_DYN binaries separately from mmap, this renames and exports these functions as arch_mmap_rnd(). Additionally introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for describing this feature on architectures that support it (which is a superset of ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE, since s390 already supports a separated ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR without the ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE logic).

To address the "offset2lib" ASLR weakness[1], this separates ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR, as already done on s390. The architectures that are already randomizing mmap (arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, and x86), have their various forms of arch_mmap_rnd() made available via the new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. For these architectures, arch_randomize_brk() is collapsed as well. This is an alternative to the solutions in: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/23/442 I've been able to test x86 and arm, and the buildbot (so far) seems happy with building the rest. [1] http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html This patch (of 10): In preparation for splitting out ET_DYN ASLR, this moves the ASLR calculations for mmap on ARM into a separate routine, similar to x86. This also removes the redundant check of personality (PF_RANDOMIZE is already set before calling arch_pick_mmap_layout). Signed-off-by:

With CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE enabled, and a normal top-down address allocation strategy, load_elf_binary() will attempt to map a PIE binary into an address range immediately below mm->mmap_base. Unfortunately, load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary which means that, while the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below mm->mmap_base, the subsequent PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped above mm->mmap_base into the are that is supposed to be the "gap" between the stack and the binary. Since the size of the "gap" on x86_64 is only guaranteed to be 128MB this means that binaries with large data segments > 128MB can end up mapping part of their data segment over their stack resulting in corruption of the stack (and the data segment once the binary starts to run). Any PIE binary with a data segment > 128MB is vulnerable to this although address randomization means that the actual gap between the stack and the end of the binary is normally greater than 128MB. The larger the data segment of the binary the higher the probability of failure. Fix this by calculating the total size of the binary in the same way as load_elf_interp(). Signed-off-by:

Implement huge KVA mapping interfaces on x86. On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page, which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on the PAT memory types. pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() call mtrr_type_lookup() to see if a given range is covered by MTRRs. MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK indicates that the range is either covered by WB or not covered and the MTRR default value is set to WB. 0xFF indicates that MTRRs are disabled. HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is selected when X86_64 or X86_32 with X86_PAE is set. X86_32 without X86_PAE is not supported since such config can unlikey be benefited from this feature, and there was an issue found in testing.

ioremap() and its related interfaces are used to create I/O mappings to memory-mapped I/O devices. The mapping sizes of the traditional I/O devices are relatively small. Non-volatile memory (NVM), however, has many GB and is going to have TB soon. It is not very efficient to create large I/O mappings with 4KB. This patchset extends the ioremap() interfaces to transparently create I/O mappings with huge pages whenever possible. ioremap() continues to use 4KB mappings when a huge page does not fit into a requested range. There is no change necessary to the drivers using ioremap(). A requested physical address must be aligned by a huge page size (1GB or 2MB on x86) for using huge page mapping, though. The kernel huge I/O mapping will improve performance of NVM and other devices with large memory, and reduce the time to create their mappings as well. On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page, which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on the PAT memory types. The patchset introduces HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which indicates that the arch supports huge KVA mappings for ioremap(). User may specify a new kernel option "nohugeiomap" to disable the huge I/O mapping capability of ioremap() when necessary. Patch 1-4 change common files to support huge I/O mappings. There is no change in the functinalities unless HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is defined on the architecture of the system. Patch 5-6 implement the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP funcs on x86, and set HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP on x86. This patch (of 6): __get_vm_area_node() takes unsigned long size, which is a 64-bit value on a 64-bit kernel. However, fls(size) simply ignores the upper 32-bit. Change to use fls_long() to handle the size properly. Signed-off-by:

Commit 920c3ed7 ("[SPARC64]: Add basic infrastructure for MD add/remove notification") has added __GFP_NOFAIL for the allocation request but it hasn't mentioned why is this strict requirement really needed. The code was handling an allocation failure and propagated it properly up the callchain so it is not clear why it is needed. Dave has clarified the intention when I tried to remove the flag as not being necessary: : It is a serious failure. : : If we miss an MDESC update due to this allocation failure, the update : is not an event which gets retransmitted so we will lose the updated : machine description forever. : : We really need this allocation to succeed. So add a comment to clarify the nofail flag and get rid of the failure check because __GFP_NOFAIL allocation doesn't fail. Signed-off-by:

__GFP_NOFAIL is documented as a deprecated flag since commit 478352e7 ("mm: add comment about deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL"). This has discouraged people from using it but in some cases an opencoded endless loop around allocator has been used instead. So the allocator is not aware of the de facto __GFP_NOFAIL allocation because this information was not communicated properly. Let's make clear that if the allocation context really cannot afford failure because there is no good failure policy then using __GFP_NOFAIL is preferable to opencoding the loop outside of the allocator.

Commit 077fcf11 ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective interleave mempolicy. alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node, however, but rather prefers it. This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed. Without it, only a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed. Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when the allocation fails. Commit 9f1b868a ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged. Signed-off-by:

migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to a target node. Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only the target node. This is because the page migration allocator, new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to alloc_pages_exact_node(). This causes the target node to be preferred but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity. Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE. If memory is not available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate. Signed-off-by:
