Commit 0da6e5fd6c ("gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-13 too") makes
config GCC11_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS to be for disabling -Warray-bounds in any gcc
version 11 and upwards, and with that, removes the GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
config as it is now covered by the semantics of GCC11_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS.
As GCC11_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS is yes by default, there is no need for the s390
architecture to explicitly select GCC11_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS. Hence, the select
GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS in arch/s390/Kconfig can simply be dropped.
Remove the unneeded "select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS".

Fix a potential race in gmap_make_secure() and remove the last user of
follow_page() without FOLL_GET.
The old code is locking something it doesn't have a reference to, and
as explained by Jason and David in this discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9J4P%2FRNvY1Ztn0Q@nvidia.com/
it can lead to all kind of bad things, including the page getting
unmapped (MADV_DONTNEED), freed, reallocated as a larger folio and the
unlock_page() would target the wrong bit.
There is also another race with the FOLL_WRITE, which could race
between the follow_page() and the get_locked_pte().
The main point is to remove the last use of follow_page() without
FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN, removing the races can be considered a nice
bonus.

On machines without the Destroy Secure Configuration Fast UVC, the
topmost level of page tables is set aside and freed asynchronously
as last step of the asynchronous teardown.
Each gmap has a host_to_guest radix tree mapping host (userspace)
addresses (with 1M granularity) to gmap segment table entries (pmds).
If a guest is smaller than 2GB, the topmost level of page tables is the
segment table (i.e. there are only 2 levels). Replacing it means that
the pointers in the host_to_guest mapping would become stale and cause
all kinds of nasty issues.
This patch fixes the issue by disallowing asynchronous teardown for
guests with only 2 levels of page tables. Userspace should (and already
does) try using the normal destroy if the asynchronous one fails.
Update s390_replace_asce so it refuses to replace segment type ASCEs.
This is still needed in case the normal destroy VM fails.

Let's factor out actual disabling of KSM. The existing "mm->def_flags &=
~VM_MERGEABLE;" was essentially a NOP and can be dropped, because
def_flags should never include VM_MERGEABLE. Note that we don't currently
prevent re-enabling KSM.
This should now be faster in case KSM was never enabled, because we only
conditionally iterate all VMAs. Further, it certainly looks cleaner.

ARM64:

plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.
* New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features
being moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.
* Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one.
This last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on
top.
* A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having
taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed.
* The usual selftest fixes and improvements.
KVM x86 changes for 6.4:
* Optimize CR0.WP toggling by avoiding an MMU reload when TDP is enabled,
and by giving the guest control of CR0.WP when EPT is enabled on VMX
(VMX-only because SVM doesn't support per-bit controls)
* Add CR0/CR4 helpers to query single bits, and clean up related code
where KVM was interpreting kvm_read_cr4_bits()'s "unsigned long" return
as a bool
* Move AMD_PSFD to cpufeatures.h and purge KVM's definition
* Avoid unnecessary writes+flushes when the guest is only adding new PTEs
* Overhaul .sync_page() and .invlpg() to utilize .sync_page()'s optimizations
when emulating invalidations
* Clean up the range-based flushing APIs
* Revamp the TDP MMU's reaping of Accessed/Dirty bits to clear a single
A/D bit using a LOCK AND instead of XCHG, and skip all of the "handle
changed SPTE" overhead associated with writing the entire entry
* Track the number of "tail" entries in a pte_list_desc to avoid having
to walk (potentially) all descriptors during insertion and deletion,
which gets quite expensive if the guest is spamming fork()
* Disallow virtualizing legacy LBRs if architectural LBRs are available,
the two are mutually exclusive in hardware
* Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs (notably PERF_CAPABILITIES)
after KVM_RUN, similar to CPUID features
* Overhaul the vmx_pmu_caps selftest to better validate PERF_CAPABILITIES

The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead.

Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

...
Core
----
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances.
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers.
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible.
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded
softirq avoidance.
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking.
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft].
- Optimize again the skb struct layout.
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems.
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts.
BPF
---
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized
accesses.
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward.
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types.
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
params.
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton.
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF
open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities.
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF
programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc.
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in
local storage maps.
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps.
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree.
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access()
which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them.
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf.
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations.
Protocols
---------
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address.
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition.
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space
to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf.
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures.
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers.
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction.
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore.
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter
---------
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged.
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle
IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length
from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP
support.
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore.
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one.
This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used.
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.
Driver API
----------
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time.
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them.
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI.
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization.
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs.
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink.
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool.
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes.
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device.
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy.
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links.
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory
work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers.

- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
VDSO does not allow dynamic relcations, but the build time check is
incomplete and fragile.
It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail
to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
should be ignored in the build time check too.
Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up
in the VSDO .so file.
- Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context
of different threads close to each other better.
- Align the tick period properly (again)
For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is
installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period
advances from there.
The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time
accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is
initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a
multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on
that behaviour.
Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
- A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements
- Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics
The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from
the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens
without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be
accounted twice or worse.
Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
value.
- Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with
idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random
and potentially going backwards values.
Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the
remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix,
so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to
remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due
to that.
- Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
- Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched
- Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers
For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four
years.
While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it
turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems
there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers
out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before
returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the
expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once
sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to
delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back
in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting
task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task
hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which
waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock()
pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the
livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems.

scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
lock can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra
mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

Instead of having callers care about the mmap_min_addr logic for the
lowest valid mapping address (and some of them getting it wrong), just
move the logic into vm_unmapped_area() itself. One less thing for various
architecture cases (and generic helpers) to worry about.
We should really try to make much more of this be common code, but baby
steps..
Without this, vm_unmapped_area() could return an address below
mmap_min_addr (because some caller forgot about that). That then causes
the mmap machinery to think it has found a workable address, but then
later security_mmap_addr(addr) is unhappy about it and the mmap() returns
with a nonsensical error (EPERM).
The proper action is to either return ENOMEM (if the virtual address space
is exhausted), or try to find another address (ie do a bottom-up search
for free addresses after the top-down one failed).
See commit 2afc745f3e ("mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher
address than mmap_min_addr"), which fixed this for one call site (the
generic arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() fallback) but left other cases
alone.

Patch series "mm: process/cgroup ksm support", v9.
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
Use case 1:
The madvise call is not available in the programming language. An
example for this are programs with forked workloads using a garbage
collected language without pointers. In such a language madvise cannot
be made available.
In addition the addresses of objects get moved around as they are
garbage collected. KSM sharing needs to be enabled "from the outside"
for these type of workloads.
Use case 2:
The same interpreter can also be used for workloads where KSM brings
no benefit or even has overhead. We'd like to be able to enable KSM on
a workload by workload basis.
Use case 3:
With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the
current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number
of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs (if
they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level entity
like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running
one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have
the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted madvise
calls.
Security concerns:
In previous discussions security concerns have been brought up. The
problem is that an individual workload does not have the knowledge about
what else is running on a machine. Therefore it has to be very
conservative in what memory areas can be shared or not. However, if the
system is dedicated to running multiple jobs within the same security
domain, its the job scheduler that has the knowledge that sharing can be
safely enabled and is even desirable.
Performance:
Experiments with using UKSM have shown a capacity increase of around 20%.
Here are the metrics from an instagram workload (taken from a machine
with 64GB main memory):
full_scans: 445
general_profit: 20158298048
max_page_sharing: 256
merge_across_nodes: 1
pages_shared: 129547
pages_sharing: 5119146
pages_to_scan: 4000
pages_unshared: 1760924
pages_volatile: 10761341
run: 1
sleep_millisecs: 20
stable_node_chains: 167
stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs: 2000
stable_node_dups: 2751
use_zero_pages: 0
zero_pages_sharing: 0
After the service is running for 30 minutes to an hour, 4 to 5 million
shared pages are common for this workload when using KSM.
Detailed changes:
1. New options for prctl system command
This patch series adds two new options to the prctl system call.
The first one allows to enable KSM at the process level and the second
one to query the setting.
The setting will be inherited by child processes.
With the above setting, KSM can be enabled for the seed process of a cgroup
and all processes in the cgroup will inherit the setting.
2. Changes to KSM processing
When KSM is enabled at the process level, the KSM code will iterate
over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's.
When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be
inherited by the new child process.
3. Add general_profit metric
The general_profit metric of KSM is specified in the documentation,
but not calculated. This adds the general profit metric to
/sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm.
4. Add more metrics to ksm_stat
This adds the process profit metric to /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
5. Add more tests to ksm_tests and ksm_functional_tests
This adds an option to specify the merge type to the ksm_tests.
This allows to test madvise and prctl KSM.
It also adds a two new tests to ksm_functional_tests: one to test
the new prctl options and the other one is a fork test to verify that
the KSM process setting is inherited by client processes.
This patch (of 3):
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
1. New options for prctl system command

1) Introduce new MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag
This introduces the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. When this flag
is set, kernel samepage merging (ksm) gets enabled for all vma's of a
process.
2) Setting VM_MERGEABLE on VMA creation
When a VMA is created, if the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is set, the
VM_MERGEABLE flag will be set for this VMA.
3) support disabling of ksm for a process
This adds the ability to disable ksm for a process if ksm has been
enabled for the process with prctl.
4) add new prctl option to get and set ksm for a process
This adds two new options to the prctl system call
- enable ksm for all vmas of a process (if the vmas support it).
- query if ksm has been enabled for a process.
3. Disabling MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY for storage keys in s390
In the s390 architecture when storage keys are used, the
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY will be disabled.

When the kvm module is unloaded, zpci_setup_aipb() perists some data in the
zpci_aipb structure in s390 pci code. Note that this struct is also passed
to firmware in the zpci_set_irq_ctrl() call and thus the GAIT must be a
physical address.
On module re-insertion, the GAIT is restored from this structure in
zpci_reset_aipb(). But it is a physical address, hence this may cause
issues when the kvm module is unloaded and loaded again.
Fix virtual vs physical address confusion (which currently are the same) by
adding the necessary physical-to-virtual-conversion in zpci_reset_aipb().

Provide an s390 specific __stackleak_poison() implementation which is
faster than the generic variant.
For the original implementation with an enforced 4kb stackframe for the
getpid() system call the system call overhead increases by a factor of 3 if
the stackleak feature is enabled. Using the s390 mvc based variant this is
reduced to an increase of 25% instead.
This is within the expected area, since the mvc based implementation is
more or less a memset64() variant which comes with similar results. See

Make use of the set_direct_map() calls for module allocations.
In particular:
- All changes to read-only permissions in kernel VA mappings are also
applied to the direct mapping. Note that execute permissions are
intentionally not applied to the direct mapping in order to make
sure that all allocated pages within the direct mapping stay
non-executable
- module_alloc() passes the VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS to __vmalloc_node_range()
to make sure that all implicit permission changes made to the direct
mapping are reset when the allocated vm area is freed again
Side effects: the direct mapping will be fragmented depending on how many
vm areas with VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS and/or explicit page permission changes
are allocated and freed again.
For example, just after boot of a system the direct mapping statistics look
like:
$cat /proc/meminfo

Implement the set_direct_map_*() API, which allows to invalidate and set

Note that kernel_page_present(), which is also supposed to be part of this
API, is intentionally not implemented. The reason for this is that
kernel_page_present() is only used (and currently only makes sense) for
suspend/resume, which isn't supported on s390.

deprecated ENTRY(), ENDPROC(), etc. family of macros.

The kasan mem*() functions are not used anymore since s390 has switched
to GENERIC_ENTRY and commit 69d4c0d321 ("entry, kasan, x86: Disallow
overriding mem*() functions").
Therefore remove the now dead code, similar to x86.
While at it also use the SYM* macros in mem.S.
