Rather than build slice masks from a range then use that to check for
fit in a candidate mask, implement slice_check_range_fits that checks
if a range fits in a mask directly.
This allows several structures to be removed from stacks, and also we
don't expect a huge range in a lot of these cases, so building and
comparing a full mask is going to be more expensive than testing just
one or two bits of the range.

While the implementation of the "slices" address space allows
a significant amount of high slices, it limits the number of
low slices to 16 due to the use of a single u64 low_slices_psize
element in struct mm_context_t
On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area
covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in
16K pages mode. This means we could have at least 64 slices.
In order to override this limitation, this patch switches the

While computing slice mask for the free area we need make sure we only
search in the addr limit applicable for this mmap. We update the
slb_addr_limit after we request for a mmap above 128TB. But the
following mmap request with hint addr below 128TB should still limit
its search to below 128TB. ie. we should not use slb_addr_limit to
compute slice mask in this case. Instead, we should derive high addr
limit based on the mmap hint addr value.

[mpe: Split out of Nick's bigger patch]
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

As part of the new large address space support, processes start out life with a
128TB virtual address space. However when calling mmap() a process can pass a
hint address, and if that hint is > 128TB the kernel will use the full 512TB
address space to try and satisfy the mmap() request.
Currently we have a check that the hint is > 128TB and < 512TB (TASK_SIZE),
which was added as an optimisation to avoid updating addr_limit unnecessarily
and also to avoid calling slice_flush_segments() on all CPUs more than
necessary.
However this has the user-visible side effect that an mmap() hint above 512TB
does not search the full address space unless a preceding mmap() used a hint
value > 128TB && < 512TB.
So fix it to treat any hint above 128TB as a hint to search the full address
space, instead of checking the hint against TASK_SIZE, we instead check if the
addr_limit is already == TASK_SIZE.
This also brings the ABI in-line with what is proposed on x86. ie, that a hint
address above 128TB up to and including (2^64)-1 is an indication to search the
full address space.

Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
addresses and leads to crashes.
To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
above 128TB by default.
But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.
If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
from 128TB window.
This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
address space.
This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
larger addresses and other that do not.

This patch makes the high psizes mask as an unsigned char array
so that we can have more than 16TB. Currently we support upto
64TB

All these files were including module.h just for the basic
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. We can shift them off to the
export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus
realize some compile time gains.

powerpc: is_hugepage_only_range() must account for both 4kB and 64kB slices
The subpage_prot syscall fails on second and subsequent calls for a given
region, because is_hugepage_only_range() is mis-identifying the 4 kB
slices when the process has a 64 kB page size.

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.
With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.
This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.
