With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's. Once it is
enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall. However we cannot
easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM.
This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file. It reports
how many of the pages are KSM pages. Note that KSM-placed zeropages are
not included, only actual KSM pages.

This information also helps with the following workflow:
- First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl.
- Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most
- Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise
calls for the VMA's that benefit the most

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and
placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.
Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as
well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl
entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the
kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved.
Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of
kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move.
The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being
done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly
painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of
each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does
most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to
be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the
amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.
To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping
needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest
of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future
kernel releases.
At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build
time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about
~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future.
That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes
per array moved as no new sentinels are created.
Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

Pull procfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since
commit 6d76fa58b0 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files").
Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread
cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed.
Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are
blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently
allowed.
Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper
which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull
request.
This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net
for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot
of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything
anway.
Both changes are minor user-visible changes. It is however very
unlikely that mode changes on proc/<pid>/net and
/proc/thread-self/comm are something that userspace relies on"

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock.
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.
The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.
A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

We shouldn't be using a GUP-internal helper if it can be avoided.
Similar to smaps_pte_entry() that uses vm_normal_page(), let's use
vm_normal_page_pmd() that similarly refuses to return the huge zeropage.
In contrast to follow_trans_huge_pmd(), vm_normal_page_pmd():
(1) Will always return the head page, not a tail page of a THP.
If we'd ever call smaps_account with a tail page while setting "compound
= true", we could be in trouble, because smaps_account() would look at
the memmap of unrelated pages.
If we're unlucky, that memmap does not exist at all. Before we removed
PG_doublemap, we could have triggered something similar as in
commit 24d7275ce2 ("fs/proc: task_mmu.c: don't read mapcount for
migration entry").
This can theoretically happen ever since commit ff9f47f6f0 ("mm: proc:
smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock"):
(a) We're in show_smaps_rollup() and processed a VMA
(b) We release the mmap lock in show_smaps_rollup() because it is
contended
(c) We merged that VMA with another VMA
(d) We collapsed a THP in that merged VMA at that position
If the end address of the original VMA falls into the middle of a THP
area, we would call smap_gather_stats() with a start address that falls
into a PMD-mapped THP. It's probably very rare to trigger when not
really forced.
(2) Will succeed on a is_pci_p2pdma_page(), like vm_normal_page()
Treat such PMDs here just like smaps_pte_entry() would treat such PTEs.
If such pages would be anonymous, we most certainly would want to
account them.
(3) Will skip over pmd_devmap(), like vm_normal_page() for pte_devmap()
As noted in vm_normal_page(), that is only for handling legacy ZONE_DEVICE
pages. So just like smaps_pte_entry(), we'll now also ignore such PMD
entries.
Especially, follow_pmd_mask() never ends up calling
follow_trans_huge_pmd() on pmd_devmap(). Instead it calls
follow_devmap_pmd() -- which will fail if neither FOLL_GET nor FOLL_PIN
is set.
So skipping pmd_devmap() pages seems to be the right thing to do.
(4) Will properly handle VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP, like vm_normal_page()
We won't be returning a memmap that should be ignored by core-mm, or
worse, a memmap that does not even exist. Note that while
walk_page_range() will skip VM_PFNMAP mappings, walk_page_vma() won't.
Most probably this case doesn't currently really happen on the PMD level,
otherwise we'd already be able to trigger kernel crashes when reading
smaps / smaps_rollup.
So most probably only (1) is relevant in practice as of now, but could only
cause trouble in extreme corner cases.
Let's move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h to discourage future
reuse in wrong context.

As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per
process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual
pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory
demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero-
pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM
profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM.
since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then
tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any
longer.
Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of
'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

This is a preparation commit to make it easy to remove the sentinel
elements (empty end markers) from the ctl_table arrays. It both allows
the systematic removal of the sentinels and adds the ctl_table_size
variable to the stopping criteria of the list_for_each_table_entry macro
that traverses all ctl_table arrays. Once all the sentinels are removed
by subsequent commits, ctl_table_size will become the only stopping
criteria in the macro. We don't actually remove any elements in this
commit, but it sets things up to for the removal process to take place.
By adding header->ctl_table_size as an additional stopping criteria for
the list_for_each_table_entry macro, it will execute until it finds an
"empty" ->procname or until the size runs out. Therefore if a ctl_table
array with a sentinel is passed its size will be too big (by one
element) but it will stop on the sentinel. On the other hand, if the
ctl_table array without a sentinel is passed its size will be just write
and there will be no need for a sentinel.

We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.
We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.
The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

I'm looking at the directory handling due to the discussion about f_pos
locking (see commit 797964253d35: "file: reinstate f_pos locking
optimization for regular files"), and wanting to clean that up.
And one source of ugliness is how we were supposed to move filesystems
over to the '->iterate_shared()' function that only takes the inode lock
for reading many many years ago, but several filesystems still use the
bad old '->iterate()' that takes the inode lock for exclusive access.
See commit 6192269444 ("introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()")
that also added some documentation stating
Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
be removed. Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.
and that was back in April 2016. Here we are, many years later, and the
old version is still clearly sadly alive and well.
Now, some of those old style iterators are probably just because the
filesystem may end up having per-inode mutable data that it uses for
iterating a directory, but at least one case is just a mistake.
Al switched over most filesystems to use '->iterate_shared()' back when
it was introduced. In particular, the /proc filesystem was converted as
one of the first ones in commit f50752eaa0 ("switch all procfs
directories ->iterate_shared()").
But then later one new user of '->iterate()' was then re-introduced by
commit 6d9c939dbe ("procfs: add smack subdir to attrs").
And that's clearly not what we wanted, since that new case just uses the
same 'proc_pident_readdir()' and 'proc_pident_lookup()' helper functions
that other /proc pident directories use, and they are most definitely
safe to use with the inode lock held shared.
So just fix it.
This still leaves a fair number of oddball filesystems using the
old-style directory iterator (ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2,
overlayfs, and vboxsf), but at least we don't have any remaining in the
core filesystems.
I'm going to add a wrapper function that just drops the read-lock and
takes it as a write lock, so that we can clean up the core vfs layer and
make all the ugly 'this filesystem needs exclusive inode locking' be
just filesystem-internal warts.
I just didn't want to make that conversion when we still had a core user
left.

Some architectures do not populate the entire range categorised by
KCORE_TEXT, so we must ensure that the kernel address we read from is
valid.
Unfortunately there is no solution currently available to do so with a
purely iterator solution so reinstate the bounce buffer in this instance
so we can use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in order to avoid page faults
when regions are unmapped.
This change partly reverts commit 2e1c017077 ("fs/proc/kcore: avoid
bounce buffer for ktext data"), reinstating the bounce buffer, but adapts
the code to continue to use an iterator.

Applications and loaders can have logic to decide whether to enable
shadow stack. They usually don't report whether shadow stack has been
enabled or not, so there is no way to verify whether an application
actually is protected by shadow stack.
Add two lines in /proc/$PID/status to report enabled and locked features.
Since, this involves referring to arch specific defines in asm/prctl.h,
implement an arch breakout to emit the feature lines.

The bug is the error handling:
if (tmp < nr_bytes) {
"tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type size_t
the negative error codes are treated as very high positive values
(success). Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t. The
"nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and
they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.

Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread
cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
chmod operations on /proc/thread-self/comm were no longer blocked as
they are on almost all other procfs files.
A very similar situation with /proc/self/environ was used to as a root
exploit a long time ago, but procfs has SB_I_NOEXEC so this is simply a
correctness issue.

All other files in /proc/$PID/ use proc_setattr().
Not using it allows the usage of chmod() on /proc/$PID/net, even on
other processes owned by the same user.
The same would probably also be true for other attributes to be changed.
As this technically represents an ABI change it is not marked for
stable so any unlikely regressions are caught during a full release cycle.

New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such
as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to
identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow
stack PTEs to the hardware.
Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to
anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all
that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the
shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to
learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that
VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.

The changes queued up for v6.5-rc1 for sysctl are in line with
prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur
recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element
in each sysctl array declaration. The most difficult user to modify
was parport which required a bit of re-thinking of how to declare shared
sysctls there, Joel Granados has stepped up to the plate to do most of
this work and eventual removal of register_sysctl_table(). That work
ended up saving us about 1465 bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since
we gained a few bloat-o-meter karma points I moved two rather small
sysctl arrays from kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl
arrays to move left.
Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The last
straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl
kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for
the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the
special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated
sysctl child element.
This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty
array element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is
expected to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work
will be tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out.

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

Simple walk_page_range() users should set ACTION_AGAIN to retry when
pte_offset_map_lock() fails.
No need to check pmd_trans_unstable(): that was precisely to avoid the
possiblity of calling pte_offset_map() on a racily removed or inserted THP
entry, but such cases are now safely handled inside it. Likewise there is
no need to check pmd_none() or pmd_bad() before calling it.

This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".
What changed?:
* Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the
default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero
so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local
context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the
new enum with kdoc.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the
destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort
to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested

the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant.

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine
platform.
There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory:
1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it
doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is
very long boot time.
Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable
(i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate
memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point.
2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more
infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but
it provides good boot time.
On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps
onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data
set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted.
3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple)
that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the
system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping
low boot time.
This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2:
background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the
page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that.
The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU
cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt
user experience.
Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want
to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be
implemented later based on user's demands.
Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code:
- memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory
allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory.
- page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page.
When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the
high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation.
EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted
memory:
- accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted.
- range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range
of physical addresses requires acceptance.
