Patch series "kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow
memory", v11.
Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This means
that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.
This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's very
easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is some
work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.
This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822
In terms of implementation details:
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the vmalloc
subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown!
This patch (of 4):
Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow memory
to back the mappings.
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space
will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left unmapped.
This will require changes in arch-specific code.
This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=3D1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world.

With the new allocation approach introduced in the 5.2 kernel, it
becomes possible to get rid of one global spinlock. By doing that we
can further improve the KVA from the performance point of view.
Basically we can have two independent locks, one for allocation part and
another one for deallocation, because of two different entities: "free
data structures" and "busy data structures".
As a result, allocation/deallocation operations can still interfere
between each other in case of running simultaneously on different CPUs,
it means there is still dependency, but with two locks it becomes lower.
Summarizing:
- it reduces the high lock contention
- it allows to perform operations on "free" and "busy"
trees in parallel on different CPUs. Please note it
does not solve scalability issue.
Test results:
In order to evaluate this patch, we can run "vmalloc test driver" to see
how many CPU cycles it takes to complete all test cases running
sequentially. All online CPUs run it so it will cause a high lock
contention.

When fit type is NE_FIT_TYPE there is a need in one extra object.
Usually the "ne_fit_preload_node" per-CPU variable has it and there is
no need in GFP_NOWAIT allocation, but there are exceptions.
This commit just adds more explanations, as a result giving answers on
questions like when it can occur, how often, under which conditions and
what happens if GFP_NOWAIT gets failed.

Allocation functions should comply with the given gfp_mask as much as
possible. The preallocation code in alloc_vmap_area doesn't follow that
pattern and it is using a hardcoded GFP_KERNEL. Although this doesn't
really make much difference because vmalloc is not GFP_NOWAIT compliant
in general (e.g. page table allocations are GFP_KERNEL) there is no
reason to spread that bad habit and it is good to fix the antipattern.

Some background. The preemption was disabled before to guarantee that a
preloaded object is available for a CPU, it was stored for. That was
achieved by combining the disabling the preemption and taking the spin
lock while the ne_fit_preload_node is checked.
The aim was to not allocate in atomic context when spinlock is taken
later, for regular vmap allocations. But that approach conflicts with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT philosophy. It means that calling spin_lock() with
disabled preemption is forbidden in the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel.
Therefore, get rid of preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() when the
preload is done for splitting purpose. As a result we do not guarantee
now that a CPU is preloaded, instead we minimize the case when it is
not, with this change, by populating the per cpu preload pointer under
the vmap_area_lock.
This implies that at least each caller that has done the preallocation
will not fallback to an atomic allocation later. It is possible that
the preallocation would be pointless or that no preallocation is done
because of the race but the data shows that this is really rare.
For example i run the special test case that follows the preload pattern
and path. 20 "unbind" threads run it and each does 1000000 allocations.
Only 3.5 times among 1000000 a CPU was not preloaded. So it can happen
but the number is negligible.

Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
and usability.
There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
- if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
- if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map->writecnt),
map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
- once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
performed again.
Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
can't be memory mapped either.
For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array->value
being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.
One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
and close(). close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.

Add RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS_MAX, which generates augmented rbtree callbacks
for the case where the augmented value is a scalar whose definition
follows a max(f(node)) pattern. This actually covers all present uses of
RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS, and saves some (source) code duplication in the
various RBCOMPUTE function definitions.

Objective
---------
The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space.
After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been
reduced from 11 words to 8 words.
Description
-----------
1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem
because
A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree
B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree
C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list
2) Eliminate "flags".
;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be
done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.

The busy tree can be quite big, even though the area is freed or unmapped
it still stays there until "purge" logic removes it.
1) Optimize and reduce the size of "busy" tree by removing a node from
it right away as soon as user triggers free paths. It is possible to
do so, because the allocation is done using another augmented tree.
The vmalloc test driver shows the difference, for example the
"fix_size_alloc_test" is ~11% better comparing with default configuration:
sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
<default>
Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 993985 usec
Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973554 usec

Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12593929 usec
<this patch>
2) Since the busy tree now contains allocated areas only and does not
interfere with lazily free nodes, introduce the new function
show_purge_info() that dumps "unpurged" areas that is propagated
through "/proc/vmallocinfo".
3) Eliminate VM_LAZY_FREE flag.

The arm architecture had a VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag to mark DMA
coherent remapping for a while. Lift this flag to common code so
that we can use it generically. We also check it in the only place
VM_USERMAP is directly check so that we can entirely replace that

Recent changes to the vmalloc code by commit 68ad4a330433
("mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation") can
cause spurious percpu allocation failures. These, in turn, can result
in panic()s in the slub code. One such possible panic was reported by
Dave Hansen in following link https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/19/939.
Another related panic observed is,

VMALLOC memory manager divides the entire VMALLOC space (VMALLOC_START
to VMALLOC_END) into multiple VM areas (struct vm_areas), and it mainly
uses two lists (vmap_area_list & free_vmap_area_list) to track the used
and free VM areas in VMALLOC space. And pcpu_get_vm_areas(offsets[],
sizes[], nr_vms, align) function is used for allocating congruent VM
areas for percpu memory allocator. In order to not conflict with
VMALLOC users, pcpu_get_vm_areas allocates VM areas near the end of the
VMALLOC space. So the search for free vm_area for the given requirement
starts near VMALLOC_END and moves upwards towards VMALLOC_START.
Prior to commit 68ad4a330433, the search for free vm_area in
pcpu_get_vm_areas() involves following two main steps.
Step 1:
Find a aligned "base" adress near VMALLOC_END.
va = free vm area near VMALLOC_END
Step 2:
Loop through number of requested vm_areas and check,
Step 2.1:
if (base < VMALLOC_START)
1. fail with error
Step 2.2:
// end is offsets[area] + sizes[area]
if (base + end > va->vm_end)
1. Move the base downwards and repeat Step 2
Step 2.3:
if (base + start < va->vm_start)
1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned
base address and repeat Step 2
But Commit 68ad4a330433 removed Step 2.2 and modified Step 2.3 as below:
Step 2.3:
if (base + start < va->vm_start || base + end > va->vm_end)
1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned
base address and repeat Step 2
Above change is the root cause of spurious percpu memory allocation
failures. For example, consider a case where a relatively large vm_area
(~ 30 TB) was ignored in free vm_area search because it did not pass the
base + end < vm->vm_end boundary check. Ignoring such large free
vm_area's would lead to not finding free vm_area within boundary of
VMALLOC_start to VMALLOC_END which in turn leads to allocation failures.
So modify the search algorithm to include Step 2.2.

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared
between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released.
When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault
in the new mappings but still access the old ones.
This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel
oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots.
Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks, bpf and
percpu allocator are new top users), and the total % of memory consumed by
vmalloc() can be pretty significant and changes dynamically.
/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information: its top goal
is to show top consumers of the memory.
Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use for quite a
long time (it has been defined to 0 by a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of
'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the
actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

It does not make sense to try to "unlink" the node that is definitely not
linked with a list nor tree. On the first merge step VA just points to
the previously disconnected busy area.
On the second step, check if the node has been merged and do "unlink" if
so, because now it points to an object that must be linked.

Refactor the NE_FIT_TYPE split case when it comes to an allocation of one
extra object. We need it in order to build a remaining space. The
preload is done per CPU in non-atomic context with GFP_KERNEL flags.
More permissive parameters can be beneficial for systems which are suffer
from high memory pressure or low memory condition. For example on my KVM
system(4xCPUs, no swap, 256MB RAM) i can simulate the failure of page
allocation with GFP_NOWAIT flags. Using "stress-ng" tool and starting N
workers spinning on fork() and exit(), i can trigger below trace:

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}
- Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly
- Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)
- Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)
- Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)
- Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
secondary CPUs during panic
- perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
platforms
- perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP
- cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers
- Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent
- arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups
- Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)
- Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)
- CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig
- Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
over into the vmalloc area
- Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable

In a rare case, flush_tlb_kernel_range() could be called with a start
higher than the end.
In vm_remove_mappings(), in case page_address() returns 0 for all pages
(for example they were all in highmem), _vm_unmap_aliases() will be
called with start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0 and flush = 1.
If at the same time, the vmalloc purge operation is triggered by something
else while the current operation is between remove_vm_area() and
_vm_unmap_aliases(), then the vm mapping just removed will be already
purged. In this case the call of vm_unmap_aliases() may not find any other
mappings to flush and so end up flushing start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0. So
only set flush = true if we find something in the direct mapping that we
need to flush, and this way this can't happen.

The calculation of the direct map address range to flush was wrong.
This could cause the RO direct map alias to not get flushed. Today
this shouldn't be a problem because this flush is only needed on x86
right now and the spurious fault handler will fix cached RO->RW
translations. In the future though, it could cause the permissions
to remain RO in the TLB for the direct map alias, and then the page
would return from the page allocator to some other component as RO
and cause a crash.
So fix fix the address range calculation so the flush will include the
direct map range.

By default this option is set to 0 and not active. It requires
recompilation of the kernel to activate it. Set to 1, compile the
kernel.

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
Objective
---------
Please have a look for the description at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
"long" i mean milliseconds.
Description
-----------
This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have
lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large
as possible.
It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
O(1) access to prev/next elements.
Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
most path) free area.
Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method
therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first
suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
Bigger areas are split.
I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
<snip>
A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are
FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they
correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is
an extra work with rb-tree updating.
LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do
is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of
the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
always aligned to 1.
NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when
requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it
is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a
remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we
have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert
that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
reuse it.
Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree
we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a
rb-tree node we split.
<snip>
De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight
away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to
prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then
large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
more fragments.
There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of
VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back
to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at
the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
Tests and stressing
-------------------
I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
"tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo
./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days.
If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it:
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would
be good.
Performance analysis
--------------------
I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond
to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3
ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We
do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time
difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because
the worst case is O(N).
# i5-3320M
How many cycles all tests took:
CPU0=646919905370(default) cycles vs CPU0=193290498550(patched) cycles
# See detailed table with results here:

ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/HiKey960_performance_patched.txt
b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1
With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs.
Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order. It gives
random allocation behaviour. So it is rough comparison, but it puts in
the picture for sure.
# i5-3320M

real 101m22.813s real 0m56.805s
user 0m0.011s user 0m0.015s

# Hikey960 8x CPUs
<default> vs <patched>
real unknown real 4m25.214s
user unknown user 0m0.011s
sys unknown sys 0m0.670s
I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel
version. After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel
it. That is why real/user/sys are "unknown".
This patch (of 3):
Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to
over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
order of increasing addresses.
Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and
traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
address, i.e. it is sequential allocation.
Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than
requested size - it is split.
De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of
de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
Complexity: ~O(log(N))

vmap_lazy_nr variable has atomic_t type that is 4 bytes integer value on
both 32 and 64 bit systems. lazy_max_pages() deals with "unsigned long"
that is 8 bytes on 64 bit system, thus vmap_lazy_nr should be 8 bytes on
64 bit as well.

Commit 763b218ddfaf ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()")
introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation
more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas.
Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time,
i.e. it should be rather a compromise.
1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus
on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc.
2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when
memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to
completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() function.
Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over
allocation creating a balance between each other.
Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available
test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a
pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of
memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is
not able to free pages in time.
How I run it:
1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m
2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress
During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable
lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size
and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Add a new flag VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS, for enabling vfree operations to
immediately clear executable TLB entries before freeing pages, and handle
resetting permissions on the directmap. This flag is useful for any kind
of memory with elevated permissions, or where there can be related
permissions changes on the directmap. Today this is RO+X and RO memory.
Although this enables directly vfreeing non-writeable memory now,
non-writable memory cannot be freed in an interrupt because the allocation
itself is used as a node on deferred free list. So when RO memory needs to
be freed in an interrupt the code doing the vfree needs to have its own
work queue, as was the case before the deferred vfree list was added to
vmalloc.
For architectures with set_direct_map_ implementations this whole operation
can be done with one TLB flush when centralized like this. For others with
directmap permissions, currently only arm64, a backup method using
set_memory functions is used to reset the directmap. When arm64 adds
set_direct_map_ functions, this backup can be removed.
When the TLB is flushed to both remove TLB entries for the vmalloc range
mapping and the direct map permissions, the lazy purge operation could be
done to try to save a TLB flush later. However today vm_unmap_aliases
could flush a TLB range that does not include the directmap. So a helper
is added with extra parameters that can allow both the vmalloc address and
the direct mapping to be flushed during this operation. The behavior of the
normal vm_unmap_aliases function is unchanged.

vmalloc_user*() calls differ from normal vmalloc() only in that they set
VM_USERMAP flags for the area. During the whole history of vmalloc.c
changes now it is possible simply to pass VM_USERMAP flags directly to
__vmalloc_node_range() call instead of finding the area (which obviously
takes time) after the allocation.

When VM_NO_GUARD is not set area->size includes adjacent guard page,
thus for correct size checking get_vm_area_size() should be used, but
not area->size.
This fixes possible kernel oops when userspace tries to mmap an area on
1 page bigger than was allocated by vmalloc_user() call: the size check
inside remap_vmalloc_range_partial() accounts non-existing guard page
also, so check successfully passes but vmalloc_to_page() returns NULL
(guard page does not physically exist).
The following code pattern example should trigger an oops:
static int oops_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
void *mem;
mem = vmalloc_user(4096);
BUG_ON(!mem);
/* Do not care about mem leak */
return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, mem, 0);
}
And userspace simply mmaps size + PAGE_SIZE:
mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
Possible candidates for oops which do not have any explicit size
checks:
*** drivers/media/usb/stkwebcam/stk-webcam.c:
v4l_stk_mmap[789] ret = remap_vmalloc_range(vma, sbuf->buffer, 0);
Or the following one:
*** drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c
static int
fb_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
...
res = fb->fb_mmap(info, vma);
Where fb_mmap callback calls remap_vmalloc_range() directly without any
explicit checks:
*** drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c
static int vfb_mmap(struct fb_info *info,
struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, (void *)info->fix.smem_start, vma->vm_pgoff);
}

This patch repeats the original one from David S Miller:
2dca6999eed5 ("mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA")
but for missed vmalloc_32_user() case, which also requires correct
alignment of virtual address on kernel side to avoid D-caches aliases.
A bit of copy-paste from original patch to recover in memory of what is
all about:
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.
Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace and
vice versa.
If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is shared
of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED will force
SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with D-cache
aliasing matters.
David S. Miller
> What are the user-visible runtime effects of this change?
In simple words: proper alignment avoids possible difference in data,
seen by different virtual mapings: userspace and kernel in our case.
I.e. userspace reads cache line A, kernel writes to cache line B. Both
cache lines correspond to the same physical memory (thus aliases).
So this should fix data corruption for archs with vivt and vipt caches,
e.g. armv6. Personally I've never worked with this archs, I just
spotted the strange difference in code: for one case we do alignment,
for another - not. I have a strong feeling that David simply missed
vmalloc_32_user() case.
>
> Is a -stable backport needed?
No, I do not think so. The only one user of vmalloc_32_user() is
virtual frame buffer device drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c, which has in the
description "The main use of this frame buffer device is testing and
debugging the frame buffer subsystem. Do NOT enable it for normal
systems!".
And it seems to me that this vfb.c does not need 32bit addressable pages
(vmalloc_32_user() case), because it is virtual device and should not
care about things like dma32 zones, etc. Probably is better to clean
the code and switch vfb.c from vmalloc_32_user() to vmalloc_user() case
and wipe out vmalloc_32_user() from vmalloc.c completely. But I'm not
very much sure that this is worth to do, that's so minor, so we can
leave it as is.

find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to
dereference it without checking it first. Use the existing
find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for
the NULL pointer.

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

Some architectures just don't have PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. The mm/nommu.c and
mm/vmalloc.c code have been using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback for years.
Move this fallback to asm-generic.

Client can call vunmap with some intermediate 'addr' which may not be
the start of the VM area. Entire unmap code works with vm->vm_start
which is proper but debug object API is called with 'addr'. This could
be a problem within debug objects.
Pass proper start address into debug object API.

Currently, __vunmap flow is,
1) Release the VM area
2) Free the debug objects corresponding to that vm area.
This leave some race window open.
1) Release the VM area
1.5) Some other client gets the same vm area
1.6) This client allocates new debug objects on the same
vm area
2) Free the debug objects corresponding to this vm area.
Here, we actually free 'other' client's debug objects.
Fix this by freeing the debug objects first and then releasing the VM
area.
