If the provided system call number is equal to __NR_syscalls, the current check will pass and a function pointer just after the system call table may be called, since sys_call_table is an array with total size __NR_syscalls. Whether or not this is a security bug depends on what the compiler puts immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.

Memory migration fills a pte with a migration entry and it doesn't update the rss counters. Then it replaces the migration entry with the new page (or the old one if migration failed). But between these two passes this pte can be unmaped, or a task can fork a child and it will get a copy of this migration entry. Nobody accounts for this in the rss counters. This patch properly adjust rss counters for migration entries in zap_pte_range() and copy_one_pte(). Thus we avoid extra atomic operations on the migration fast-path. Signed-off-by:

Commit cc39c6a9 ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries. The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(), called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking. Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the swap) instead of pagevec_lookup(). But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock. Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU. Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

Hugh Dickins authored
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked. It does this with pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here. A cond_resched() every PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good. However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks. There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it. So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling. Remove the recently added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan. Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock(). Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable. The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED. The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let inode eviction deal with them. Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used), more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

kdump only allocates memory for the prstatus ELF note. For s390x, besides of prstatus multiple ELF notes for various different register types are stored. Therefore the currently allocated memory is not sufficient. With this patch the KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES macro can be defined by architecture code and for s390x it is set to the correct size now.

end_migration() passes the old page instead of the new page to commit the charge. This page descriptor is not used for committing itself, though, since we also pass the (correct) page_cgroup descriptor. But it's used to find the soft limit tree through the page's zone, so the soft limit tree of the old page's zone is updated instead of that of the new page's, which might get slightly out of date until the next charge reaches the ratelimit point. This glitch has been present since 5564e88b ("memcg: condense page_cgroup-to-page lookup points"). This fixes a bug that I introduced in 2.6.38. It's benign enough (to my knowledge) that we probably don't want this for stable. Reported-by:

/proc/pid/clear_refs is used to clear the Referenced and YOUNG bits for pages and corresponding page table entries of the task with PID pid, which includes any special mappings inserted into the page tables in order to provide things like vDSOs and user helper functions. On ARM this causes a problem because the vectors page is mapped as a global mapping and since ec706dab ("ARM: add a vma entry for the user accessible vector page"), a VMA is also inserted into each task for this page to aid unwinding through signals and syscall restarts. Since the vectors page is required for handling faults, clearing the YOUNG bit (and subsequently writing a faulting pte) means that we lose the vectors page *globally* and cannot fault it back in. This results in a system deadlock on the next exception. To see this problem in action, just run: $ echo 1 > /proc/self/clear_refs on an ARM platform (as any user) and watch your system hang. I think this has been the case since 2.6.37 This patch avoids clearing the aforementioned bits for reserved pages, therefore leaving the vectors page intact on ARM. Since reserved pages are not candidates for swap, this change should not have any impact on the usefulness of clear_refs. Signed-off-by:

According to the boot log this page is marked reserved: e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved) and early_node_map confirms that: early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges 1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c 1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3 1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000 The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved pages and they stay uninitialized. When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section. But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized. We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1 (rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will return 0 and there are no zones on the node. Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for whatever other reasons.
