      powerpc/mm/hash64: use _PAGE_PTE when checking for pte_present · ec4abf1e
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      This makes the pte_present check stricter by checking for additional _PAGE_PTE
      bit. A level 1 pte pointer (THP pte) can be switched to a pointer to level 0 pte
      page table page by following two operations.
      
      1) THP split.
      2) madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in parallel to page fault.
      
      A lockless page table walk need to make sure we can handle such changes
      gracefully.

      powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning key fault error to the user · c46241a3
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      If multiple threads in userspace keep changing the protection keys
      mapping a range, there can be a scenario where kernel takes a key fault
      but the pkey value found in the siginfo struct is a permissive one.

      powerpc/pkeys: Avoid using lockless page table walk · fe4a6856
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      Fetch pkey from vma instead of linux page table. Also document the fact that in
      some cases the pkey returned in siginfo won't be the same as the one we took
      keyfault on. Even with linux page table walk, we can end up in a similar scenario.

      This brings in a fix from the kvm-ppc tree that was merged to mainline
      after rc2, and so isn't in the base of our topic branch. We'd like it
      in the topic branch because it interacts with patches we plan to carry
      in this branch.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle non-present PTEs in page fault functions · ae49deda
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Since cd758a9b "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT
      page fault handler", it's been possible in fairly rare circumstances to
      load a non-present PTE in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() when running a
      guest on a POWER8 host.
      
      Because that case wasn't checked for, we could misinterpret the non-present
      PTE as being a cache-inhibited PTE.  That could mismatch with the
      corresponding hash PTE, which would cause the function to fail with -EFAULT
      a little further down.  That would propagate up to the KVM_RUN ioctl()
      generally causing the KVM userspace (usually qemu) to fall over.
      
      This addresses the problem by catching that case and returning to the guest
      instead.
      
      For completeness, this fixes the radix page fault handler in the same
      way.  For radix this didn't cause any obvious misbehaviour, because we
      ended up putting the non-present PTE into the guest's partition-scoped
      page tables, leading immediately to another hypervisor data/instruction
      storage interrupt, which would go through the page fault path again
      and fix things up.

      mm: Fix MREMAP_DONTUNMAP accounting on VMA merge · dadbd85f
      Brian Geffon authored
      When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
      into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
      split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
      be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
      been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
      of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
      become split again.
      
      However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
      means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
      split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
      we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
      putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
      unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
      incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
      and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
      
      There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
      accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
      We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
      all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
      location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
      the munmap at the start of the mremap.
      
      A really simple repro can be seen in:

      Pull flexible-array member conversion from Gustavo Silva:
       "The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
        extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
        variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
        member[1][2], introduced in C99:
      
          struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
          };
      
        By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
        in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
        will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
        inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
        Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
        this change:
      
         "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof
          operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original
          implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
        sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible
        array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of
        code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously
        applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances
        may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member
        convertions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of
        issues.
      
        Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
        quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been
        merged into 5.7-rc1.
      
        There are a couple hundred more of these issues waiting to be
        addressed in the whole codebase"

      rslib.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member · 9dd8bb5f
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
      extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
      variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
      introduced in C99:
      
      struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
      };
      
      By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
      in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
      will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
      inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
      Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
      this change:
      
      "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
      may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
