There are many places where all basic VMA access flags (read, write,
exec) are initialized or checked against as a group.  One such example
is during page fault.  Existing vma_is_accessible() wrapper already
creates the notion of VMA accessibility as a group access permissions.

Hence lets just create VM_ACCESS_FLAGS (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) which
will not only reduce code duplication but also extend the VMA
accessibility concept in general.

<title>mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times</title>

<content type='text'>
The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].

Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once.  We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time.  This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page.  However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.

This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY.  It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event.  Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.

Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):

  - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED:  this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is the first try

  - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:   this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is not the first try

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
                             to retry at all

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:  this is forbidden and should never be used

In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &amp;
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY).  This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &amp;
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag &amp; FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths.  One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.

This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault.  It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.

GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags.  Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.

Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over.  With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.

<id>urn:sha1:4ef873226ceb9c7bf11a922caddc5698a24bcfaf</id>
<content type='text'>
For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal
after a handle_mm_fault().  Introduce a helper for that quick path.

It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs.  More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.

Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals.  In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.

Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet.  It'll be used very soon.  Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]

force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

The __do_user_fault function is always called with tsk == current.
Make that obvious by removing the tsk parameter.

This makes it clear that __do_user_fault calls force_sig_fault
