<id>urn:sha1:aecd408b7e50742868b3305c24325a89024e2a30</id>
<content type='text'>
A new helper is added for cgroup1 hierarchy:

- task_get_cgroup1
  Acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup1
  hierarchy. The cgroup1 hierarchy is identified by its hierarchy ID.

This helper function is added to facilitate the tracing of tasks within
a particular container or cgroup dir in BPF programs. It's important to
note that this helper is designed specifically for cgroup1 only.

tj: Use irsqsave/restore as suggested by Hou Tao &lt;houtao@huaweicloud.com&gt;.

<content type='text'>
At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must
hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality,
we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold
the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in
the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a
production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently.
Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.

<title>memcg: Fix possible use-after-free in memcg_write_event_control()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=fbf8321238bac04368f57af572e05a9c01347a0b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fbf8321238bac04368f57af572e05a9c01347a0b</id>
<content type='text'>
memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry-&gt;d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call.  As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file.  Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.

Prior to 347c4a874710 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event-&gt;cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file before further accesses.  The cftype pointer returned from
__file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently
dropped the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through.
With the invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race
against renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause
use-after-free's.

Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft().  Now
that cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file
operations needs to go through a layer of indirection.  Instead, let's
check the superblock and dentry type.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

<title>mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch</title>

<id>urn:sha1:354ed597442952fb680c9cafc7e4eb8a76f9514c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
  0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
  0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
          true
  0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
          CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
  [yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
  echo y &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  0x0007
  echo 5 &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  0x0005

NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion.  So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs.  The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3].  However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it.  In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.

Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.

<title>cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional</title>

<content type='text'>
3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.

This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.

Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

<title>cgroup: Use open-time cgroup namespace for process migration perm checks</title>

<content type='text'>
cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as
whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of
the write - the PID. This currently uses current's cgroup namespace which is
a potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less
privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that
it created.

This patch makes cgroup remember the cgroup namespace at the time of open
and uses it for migration permission checks instad of current's. Note that
this only applies to cgroup2 as cgroup1 doesn't have namespace support.

This also fixes a use-after-free bug on cgroupns reported in

 https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000048c15c05d0083397@google.com

Note that backporting this fix also requires the preceding patch.
