The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page. This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write. As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned. On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table in a similar manner as in the pmd case). Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether or not a page fault will occur on write to the page. Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero removed): $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024 Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages, 2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages, 5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK. After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK, as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long. This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

The work-around for A15 errata 798181 is not needed if appropriate ECO fixes have been applied to r3p2 and earlier core revisions. This can be checked by reading REVIDR register bits 4 and 9.

Our spinlocks are only 32-bit (2x16-bit tickets) and, on processors with 64-bit atomic instructions, cmpxchg64 makes use of the double-word exclusive accessors.

Will Deacon authored
Our cmpxchg64 macros are wrappers around atomic64_cmpxchg. Whilst this is great for code re-use, there is a case for barrier-less cmpxchg where it is known to be safe (for example cmpxchg64_local and cmpxchg-based lockrefs). This patch introduces a 64-bit cmpxchg implementation specifically for the cmpxchg64_* macros, so that it can be later used by the lockref code.

Commit 3fa4d734 (usb: phy: rename nop_usb_xceiv => usb_phy_gen_xceiv) changed the conditional around the declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register from #if defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) || (defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV_MODULE) && defined(MODULE)) to #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) While that looks the same, it is semantically different. The first expression is true if CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV is built as module and if the including code is built as module. The second expression is true if code depending on CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV if built as module or into the kernel. As a result, the arm:allmodconfig build fails with arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_evm_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3evm.c:703: undefined reference to `usb_nop_xceiv_register' Fix the problem by reverting to the old conditional.

Revert commit 1ecfd533 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail calling pmd_alloc()"). The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map() ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533 did an unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Commit c4fe2448 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file, which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore. To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64. This is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes. To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can not handle allocation failures. The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated filesystem cache in a tight loop. Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not make progress.

Commit 3812c8c8 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate them all. First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for added bonus. Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

In commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the 0xEE (GPT protective) as errors. However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

Commit 11feeb49 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic compound pages. That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different refcounting. The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages (the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage is freed). This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we can retain the optimization in 11feeb49. The cacheline was already modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of large memory systems.
