      perf/x86/amd: Add event map for AMD Family 17h · 3fe3331b
      Kim Phillips authored 
      Family 17h differs from prior families by:

 - Does not support an L2 cache miss event
 - It has re-enumerated PMC counters for:
   - L2 cache references
   - front & back end stalled cycles

So we add a new amd_f17h_perfmon_event_map[] so that the generic
perf event names will resolve to the correct h/w events on
family 17h and above processors.

Reference sections 2.1.13.3.3 (stalls) and 2.1.13.3.6 (L2):

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "I debated holding this back for the v5.2 merge window due to the size
  of the "zero-key" changes, but affected users would benefit from
  having the fixes sooner. It did not make sense to change the zero-key
  semantic in isolation for the "secure-erase" command, but instead
  include it for all security commands.

  The short background on the need for these changes is that some NVDIMM
  platforms enable security with a default zero-key rather than let the
  OS specify the initial key. This makes the security enabling that
  landed in v5.0 unusable for some users.

  Summary:

   - Compatibility fix for nvdimm-security implementations with a
     default zero-key.

   - Miscellaneous small fixes for out-of-bound accesses, cleanup after
     initialization failures, and missing debug messages"

      Merge branch 'page-refs' (page ref overflow) · 6b3a7077
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Merge page ref overflow branch.

Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with
sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely
slow).

Admittedly it's not exactly easy.  To have more than four billion
references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just
for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of
those pointers.  Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially
crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever
free the page references and just keep adding more).

Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious
user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page
references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page
duplication.  So let's just do that.

* branch page-refs:
  fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get
  mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
  mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function
  mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit

      fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get · 15fab63e
      Matthew Wilcox authored 
      Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount.  All
callers converted to handle a failure.

      mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount · 8fde12ca
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while
there are still four billion references to it.  One of the possible
avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO
on a page multiple times.  This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to
take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion
references to the page.

      mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function · 88b1a17d
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead
of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only
does so if the count was "safe".  It returns whether the reference count
was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously
has to be aware of it).

Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already
had a reference to the page.  The intent is that you can use this
exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the
maximum reference count.

The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit
the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification
that the conditional non-increment actually happened.

NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but
that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range
of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

      mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit · f958d7b5
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't
underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count.

That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page
ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one
to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON).

Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close
to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative
territory.
