      mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing · 38e08854
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
      defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
      PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
      User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
      not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
      a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.
      
      However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
      memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
      __get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
      the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
      region.
      
      A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
      memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
      functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.
      
      This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
      simple repro code.
      
      There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
      added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
      behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
      fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.
      
      This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
      invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
      valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
      flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

      radix tree: fix sibling entry handling in radix_tree_descend() · 8d2c0d36
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
      broken.  The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
      pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
      pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits.  But gcc will
      notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
      avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.
      
      This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
      validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
      using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer.  And
      once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
      directly.
      
      [ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
        right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
        that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:
      
          "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
           It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.
      
           I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
           something.  (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2].  It looks
           okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
           know much about radix-tree internals.)"

      MIPS: Fix delay slot emulation count in debugfs · 116e7111
      Paul Burton authored
      Commit 432c6bac ("MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot
      instructions") accidentally removed use of the MIPS_FPU_EMU_INC_STATS
      macro from do_dsemulret, leading to the ds_emul file in debugfs always
      returning zero even though we perform delay slot emulations.
      
      Fix this by re-adding the use of the MIPS_FPU_EMU_INC_STATS macro.

      MIPS: SMP: Fix possibility of deadlock when bringing CPUs online · 8f46cca1
      Matt Redfearn authored
      This patch fixes the possibility of a deadlock when bringing up
      secondary CPUs.
      The deadlock occurs because the set_cpu_online() is called before
      synchronise_count_slave(). This can cause a deadlock if the boot CPU,
      having scheduled another thread, attempts to send an IPI to the
      secondary CPU, which it sees has been marked online. The secondary is
      blocked in synchronise_count_slave() waiting for the boot CPU to enter
      synchronise_count_master(), but the boot cpu is blocked in
      smp_call_function_many() waiting for the secondary to respond to it's
      IPI request.
      
      Fix this by marking the CPU online in cpu_callin_map and synchronising
      counters before declaring the CPU online and calculating the maps for
      IPIs.

           Kani is a one-liner to fix a major embarrassment in 4.8's hugepages

           relied too much on an override which bypasses that condition.

      mm: delete unnecessary and unsafe init_tlb_ubc() · b385d21f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      init_tlb_ubc() looked unnecessary to me: tlb_ubc is statically
      initialized with zeroes in the init_task, and copied from parent to
      child while it is quiescent in arch_dup_task_struct(); so I went to
      delete it.
      
      But inserted temporary debug WARN_ONs in place of init_tlb_ubc() to
      check that it was always empty at that point, and found them firing:
      because memcg reclaim can recurse into global reclaim (when allocating
      biosets for swapout in my case), and arrive back at the init_tlb_ubc()
      in shrink_node_memcg().
      
      Resetting tlb_ubc.flush_required at that point is wrong: if the upper
      level needs a deferred TLB flush, but the lower level turns out not to,
      we miss a TLB flush.  But fortunately, that's the only part of the
      protocol that does not nest: with the initialization removed, cpumask
      collects bits from upper and lower levels, and flushes TLB when needed.
