security_mmap_addr() does a capability check with current_cred(), but
we can reach this code from contexts like a VFS write handler where
current_cred() must not be used.
This can be abused on systems without SMAP to make NULL pointer
dereferences exploitable again.

We should get rid of this function. It no longer serves its purpose.
This is a historical artifact from 2005 where do_brk was called outside of
the core mm. We do have a proper abstraction in vm_brk_flags and that one
does the locking properly so there is no need to use this function.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).
Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of arch_get_unmapped_* functions. However,
on arm64 we use the generic versions of these functions.
Rather than duplicate the generic arch_get_unmapped_* implementations
for arm64, this patch instead introduces two architectural helper macros
and applies them to arch_get_unmapped_*:
arch_get_mmap_end(addr) - get mmap upper limit depending on addr hint
arch_get_mmap_base(addr, base) - get mmap_base depending on addr hint
If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

brk might be used to shrink memory mapping too other than munmap(). So,
it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large mapping, as
what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")
described.
The brk() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for
the mapping shrink use case. But, it may set mm->brk after __do_munmap(),
which needs hold write mmap_sem.
However, a simple trick can workaround this by setting mm->brk before
__do_munmap(). Then restore the original value if __do_munmap() fails.
With this trick, it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem.
So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping
pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case.
The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would
be reduced significantly with this optimization.

Other than munmap, mremap might be used to shrink memory mapping too.
So, it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large
mapping, as what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap") described.
The mremap() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for
the mapping shrink use case, so it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem.
So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping
pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case.
The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping
would be reduced significantly with this optimization.
MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_MAYMOVE are more complicated to adopt this
optimization since they need manipulate vmas after do_munmap(),
downgrading mmap_sem may create race window.
Simple mapping shrink is the low hanging fruit, and it may cover the
most cases of unmap with munmap together.

When unmapping VM_PFNMAP mappings, vm flags need to be updated. Since the
vmas have been detached, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read

Patch series "mm: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap for large
mapping", v11.
Background:
Recently, when we ran some vm scalability tests on machines with large memory,
we ran into a couple of mmap_sem scalability issues when unmapping large memory
space, please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/733 and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/20/576.
History:
Then akpm suggested to unmap large mapping section by section and drop mmap_sem
at a time to mitigate it (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/6/784).
V1 patch series was submitted to the mailing list per Andrew's suggestion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/786). Then I received a lot great
feedback and suggestions.
Then this topic was discussed on LSFMM summit 2018. In the summit, Michal
Hocko suggested (also in the v1 patches review) to try "two phases"
approach. Zapping pages with read mmap_sem, then doing via cleanup with
write mmap_sem (for discussion detail, see
https://lwn.net/Articles/753269/)
Approach:
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from
Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like
what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to cleanup vmas.
But, we can't call MADV_DONTNEED directly, since there are two major drawbacks:
* The unexpected state from PF if it wins the race in the middle of munmap.
It may return zero page, instead of the content or SIGSEGV.
* Can't handle VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP and uprobe mappings, which
is a showstopper from akpm
But, some part may need write mmap_sem, for example, vma splitting. So,
the design is as follows:
acquire write mmap_sem
lookup vmas (find and split vmas)
deal with special mappings
detach vmas
downgrade_write
zap pages
free page tables
release mmap_sem
The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but
since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.
If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings. They will be handled by falling back to regular do_munmap()
with exclusive mmap_sem held in this patch since they may update vm flags.
But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached
when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be
handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for
bisectable sake.
Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES).
However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to
uprobes developer. So, uprobe unmap will not be handled by the regular
path.
With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem
again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address
space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead
regression, which simply downgrades to read lock.
And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and
almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size
of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings.
For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other
vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain
intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write
mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might
be called in the middle. But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be
called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization. So, if
we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we
would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.
This patch (of 3):

> 300GB), the below hung task issue may happen occasionally.

It is because munmap holds mmap_sem exclusively from very beginning to all
the way down to the end, and doesn't release it in the middle. When
unmapping large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap
320GB mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine).
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion
from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read
mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to
cleanup vmas.

since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.
If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings. They will be handled by without downgrading mmap_sem in this
patch since they may update vm flags.
But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached

mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be

would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.
With the patches, exclusive mmap_sem hold time when munmap a 80GB address
space on a machine with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz dropped to us level
from second.
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380138: funcgraph_entry: |
__vm_munmap() {
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380146: funcgraph_entry: !2485684 us
| unmap_region();
munmap_test-15002 [008] 596.865836: funcgraph_exit: !2485692 us
| }
Here the execution time of unmap_region() is used to evaluate the time of
holding read mmap_sem, then the remaining time is used with holding
exclusive lock.

Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an
application causes that application to randomly crash. The existing check
for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either
overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA
overlaps *the start* of the requested region. It does not bail out if the
VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region.
Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of
the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.

oom_reaper used to rely on the oom_lock since e2fe14564d33 ("oom_reaper:
close race with exiting task"). We do not really need the lock anymore
though. 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run
concurrently") has removed serialization with the exit path based on the
mm reference count and so we do not really rely on the oom_lock anymore.
Tetsuo was arguing that at least MMF_OOM_SKIP should be set under the lock
to prevent from races when the page allocator didn't manage to get the
freed (reaped) memory in __alloc_pages_may_oom but it sees the flag later
on and move on to another victim. Although this is possible in principle
let's wait for it to actually happen in real life before we make the
locking more complex again.
Therefore remove the oom_lock for oom_reaper paths (both exit_mmap and
oom_reap_task_mm). The reaper serializes with exit_mmap by mmap_sem +
MMF_OOM_SKIP flag. There is no synchronization with out_of_memory path
now.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.
Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.
We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.
This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.
The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/
VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map. The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.
Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.
DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().
This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

This can be fixed by assigning anonymous VMAs own vm_ops and not relying

If ->mmap() failed to set ->vm_ops, mmap_region() will set it to
dummy_vm_ops. This way we will have non-NULL ->vm_ops for all VMAs.

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.
We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.
Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion:
# new vma:
kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc()
# copy old vma
kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old)
# free vma
kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma)
to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

The reason is that the length of the new brk is not page aligned when we

do_brk_flags already aligns the length properly so the mapping is
expanded as it should. All we need is to tell mm_populate about it.
Besides that there is absolutely no reason to to bug_on in the first
place. The worst thing that could happen is that the last page wouldn't
get populated and that is far from putting system into an inconsistent
state.
Fix the issue by moving the length sanitization code from do_brk_flags
up to vm_brk_flags. The only other caller of do_brk_flags is brk
syscall entry and it makes sure to provide the proper length so t here
is no need for sanitation and so we can use do_brk_flags without it.
Also remove the bogus BUG_ONs.

Commit be83bbf80682 ("mmap: introduce sane default mmap limits") was
introduced to catch problems in various ad-hoc character device drivers
doing mmap and getting the size limits wrong. In the process, it used
"known good" limits for the normal cases of mapping regular files and
block device drivers.
It turns out that the "s_maxbytes" limit was less "known good" than I
thought. In particular, /proc doesn't set it, but exposes one regular
file to mmap: /proc/vmcore. As a result, that file got limited to the
default MAX_INT s_maxbytes value.
This went unnoticed for a while, because apparently the only thing that
needs it is the s390 kernel zfcpdump, but there might be other tools
that use this too.
Vasily suggested just changing s_maxbytes for all of /proc, which isn't
wrong, but makes me nervous at this stage. So instead, just make the
new mmap limit always be MAX_LFS_FILESIZE for regular files, which won't
affect anything else. It wasn't the regular file case I was worried
about.
I'd really prefer for maxsize to have been per-inode, but that is not
how things are today.

Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm->mmap_sem, it is
possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until
MMF_OOM_SKIP is set.
This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom
reaper is operating on a vma. Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends
on clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to
determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for
VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy.
This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where
clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup(). If the pmd
is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check
for pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a
kernel oops.
Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before
doing the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP. The oom reaper can not
run on the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap(). It
also matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for
determining when to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of
excessive oom killing.
This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.

The internal VM "mmap()" interfaces are based on the mmap target doing
everything using page indexes rather than byte offsets, because
traditionally (ie 32-bit) we had the situation that the byte offset
didn't fit in a register. So while the mmap virtual address was limited
by the word size of the architecture, the backing store was not.
So we're basically passing "pgoff" around as a page index, in order to
be able to describe backing store locations that are much bigger than
the word size (think files larger than 4GB etc).
But while this all makes a ton of sense conceptually, we've been dogged
by various drivers that don't really understand this, and internally
work with byte offsets, and then try to work with the page index by
turning it into a byte offset with "pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT".
Which obviously can overflow.
Adding the size of the mapping to it to get the byte offset of the end
of the backing store just exacerbates the problem, and if you then use
this overflow-prone value to check various limits of your device driver
mmap capability, you're just setting yourself up for problems.
The correct thing for drivers to do is to do their limit math in page
indices, the way the interface is designed. Because the generic mmap
code _does_ test that the index doesn't overflow, since that's what the
mmap code really cares about.
HOWEVER.
Finding and fixing various random drivers is a sisyphean task, so let's
just see if we can just make the core mmap() code do the limiting for
us. Realistically, the only "big" backing stores we need to care about
are regular files and block devices, both of which are known to do this
properly, and which have nice well-defined limits for how much data they
can access.
So let's special-case just those two known cases, and then limit other
random mmap users to a backing store that still fits in "unsigned long".
Realistically, that's not much of a limit at all on 64-bit, and on
32-bit architectures the only worry might be the GPU drivers, which can
have big physical address spaces.
To make it possible for drivers like that to say that they are 64-bit
clean, this patch does repurpose the "FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET" bit in the
file flags to allow drivers to mark their file descriptors as safe in
the full 64-bit mmap address space.
[ The timing for doing this is less than optimal, and this should really
go in a merge window. But realistically, this needs wide testing more
than it needs anything else, and being main-line is the only way to do
that.
So the earlier the better, even if it's outside the proper development
cycle - Linus ]

Mike Rapoport says:
These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
initial index and link it to the top level documentation.
There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
necessary.

Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2.
This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the
runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED
from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it
might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g. stack).
The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an
alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g. for
shared or file backed mappings).
One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6]. The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution. We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.
The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given
address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range
conflicts with an existing one. The flag is introduced as a completely
new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward
compatibility. We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older
kernels which do not recognize the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks
wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags. On
those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so
the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least
not silently corrupt an existing mapping. I do not see a good way
around that. Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the
userspace at all.
It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]
Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints. This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable. We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space. If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.
John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc/<pid>/maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space. "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might
: have odd limitations, for example), it has to be large enough, and
: alignment has to be large enough (again, various devices may have
: constraints that lead us to do this).
:
: This is of course subject to races with other threads in the process.
:
: Let's say it finds a region starting at va.
:
: b) Next it does:
: p = mmap(va, ...)
:
: *without* setting MAP_FIXED, of course (so va is just a hint), to
: attempt to safely reserve that region. If p != va, then in most cases,
: this is a failure (almost certainly due to another thread getting a
: mapping from that region before we did), and so this layer now has to
: call munmap(), before returning a "failure: retry" to upper layers.
:
: IMPROVEMENT: --> if instead, we could call this:
:
: p = mmap(va, ... MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ...)
:
: , then we could skip the munmap() call upon failure. This
: is a small thing, but it is useful here. (Thanks to Piotr
: Jaroszynski and Mark Hairgrove for helping me get that detail
: exactly right, btw.)
:
: c) After that, CUDA suballocates from p, via:
:
: q = mmap(sub_region_start, ... MAP_FIXED ...)
:
: Interestingly enough, "freeing" is also done via MAP_FIXED, and
: setting PROT_NONE to the subregion. Anyway, I just included (c) for
: general interest.
Atomic address range probing in the multithreaded programs in general
sounds like an interesting thing to me.
The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED
should follow. Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented
properly and they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):
MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range. This
can cause silent memory corruptions. Some of them even with serious
security implications. While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range. Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g. arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.
Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior. It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt. the given address
request with a single exception th |
