Commit 5d1904204c ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page
cleanning") fixed races between mremap and other operations for both
file-backed and anonymous mappings. The file-backed was the most
critical as it allowed the possibility that data could be changed on a
physical page after page_mkclean returned which could trigger data loss
or data integrity issues.
A customer reported that the cost of the TLBs for anonymous regressions
was excessive and resulting in a 30-50% drop in performance overall
since this commit on a microbenchmark. Unfortunately I neither have
access to the test-case nor can I describe what it does other than
saying that mremap operations dominate heavily.
This patch removes the LATENCY_LIMIT to handle TLB flushes on a PMD
boundary instead of every 64 pages to reduce the number of TLB
shootdowns by a factor of 8 in the ideal case. LATENCY_LIMIT was almost
certainly used originally to limit the PTL hold times but the latency
savings are likely offset by the cost of IPIs in many cases. This patch
is not reported to completely restore performance but gets it within an
acceptable percentage. The given metric here is simply described as
"higher is better".
Baseline that was known good
002: Metric: 91.05
004: Metric: 109.45
008: Metric: 73.08

064: Metric: 35.73

016: Metric: 50.47
032: Metric: 52.29
064: Metric: 50.01
128: Metric: 49.04
So for low threads, it's not restored but for larger number of threads,
it's closer to the "known good" baseline.
Using a different mremap-intensive workload that is not representative
of the real workload there is little difference observed outside of
noise in the headline metrics However, the TLB shootdowns are reduced by
11% on average and at the peak, TLB shootdowns were reduced by 21%.
Interrupts were sampled every second while the workload ran to get those
figures. It's known that the figures will vary as the
non-representative load is non-deterministic.
An alternative patch was posted that should have significantly reduced
the TLB flushes but unfortunately it does not perform as well as this
version on the customer test case. If revisited, the two patches can
stack on top of each other.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

When THP migration is being used, memory management code needs to handle
pmd migration entries properly. This patch uses !pmd_present() or
is_swap_pmd() (depending on whether pmd_none() needs separate code or
not) to check pmd migration entries at the places where a pmd entry is
present.
Since pmd-related code uses split_huge_page(), split_huge_pmd(),
pmd_trans_huge(), pmd_trans_unstable(), or
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), this patch:
1. adds pmd migration entry split code in split_huge_pmd(),
2. takes care of pmd migration entries whenever pmd_trans_huge() is present,
3. makes pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() pmd migration entry aware.
Since split_huge_page() uses split_huge_pmd() and pmd_trans_unstable()
is equivalent to pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), we do not change
them.
Until this commit, a pmd entry should be:
1. pointing to a pte page,
2. is_swap_pmd(),
3. pmd_trans_huge(),
4. pmd_devmap(), or
5. pmd_none().

mremap will attempt to create a 'duplicate' mapping if old_size == 0 is
specified. In the case of private mappings, mremap will actually create
a fresh separate private mapping unrelated to the original. This does
not fit with the design semantics of mremap as the intention is to
create a new mapping based on the original.
Therefore, return EINVAL in the case where an attempt is made to
duplicate a private mapping. Also, print a warning message (once) if
such an attempt is made.

When mremap is called with MREMAP_FIXED it unmaps memory at the

If the destination were registered with userfaultfd, the monitor has no

Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and
mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.
He described the race as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
user accesses memory using RW PTE
[PTE now cached in TLB]
try_to_unmap_one()
==> ptep_get_and_clear()
==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
==> change_pte_range()
==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ]
user writes using cached RW PTE
...
try_to_unmap_flush()
The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such
as munmap, mremap and madvise.
For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity
issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an
mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's
potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an
munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the
window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's
theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if
reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes.
Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok
as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page
reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to
corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path
that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that
are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with
reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they
don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also
should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault
the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs
triggering a fault.
Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this
was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13
merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and
there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his
ack.

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

"the issue is that another thread might make the pte be dirty (in the

*after* we checked whether it was dirty, but *before* we removed it
from the page tables"

Prior to 3.15, there was a race between zap_pte_range() and
page_mkclean() where writes to a page could be lost. Dave Hansen
discovered by inspection that there is a similar race between
move_ptes() and page_mkclean().
We've been able to reproduce the issue by enlarging the race window with
a msleep(), but have not been able to hit it without modifying the code.
So, we think it's a real issue, but is difficult or impossible to hit in
practice.
The zap_pte_range() issue is fixed by commit 1cf35d47712d("mm: split
'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts"). And
this patch is to fix the race between page_mkclean() and mremap().
Here is one possible way to hit the race: suppose a process mmapped a
file with READ | WRITE and SHARED, it has two threads and they are bound
to 2 different CPUs, e.g. CPU1 and CPU2. mmap returned X, then thread
1 did a write to addr X so that CPU1 now has a writable TLB for addr X
on it. Thread 2 starts mremaping from addr X to Y while thread 1
cleaned the page and then did another write to the old addr X again.
The 2nd write from thread 1 could succeed but the value will get lost.
thread 1 thread 2
(bound to CPU1) (bound to CPU2)
1: write 1 to addr X to get a
writeable TLB on this CPU
2: mremap starts
3: move_ptes emptied PTE for addr X
and setup new PTE for addr Y and
then dropped PTL for X and Y
4: page laundering for N by doing
fadvise FADV_DONTNEED. When done,
pageframe N is deemed clean.
5: *write 2 to addr X
6: tlb flush for addr X
7: munmap (Y, pagesize) to make the
page unmapped
8: fadvise with FADV_DONTNEED again
to kick the page off the pagecache
9: pread the page from file to verify
the value. If 1 is there, it means
we have lost the written 2.
*the write may or may not cause segmentation fault, it depends on
if the TLB is still on the CPU.
Please note that this is only one specific way of how the race could
occur, it didn't mean that the race could only occur in exact the above
config, e.g. more than 2 threads could be involved and fadvise() could
be done in another thread, etc.
For anonymous pages, they could race between mremap() and page reclaim:
THP: a huge PMD is moved by mremap to a new huge PMD, then the new huge
PMD gets unmapped/splitted/pagedout before the flush tlb happened for
the old huge PMD in move_page_tables() and we could still write data to
it. The normal anonymous page has similar situation.
To fix this, check for any dirty PTE in move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and
if any, did the flush before dropping the PTL. If we did the flush for
every move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() call then we do not need to do the
flush in move_pages_tables() for the whole range. But if we didn't, we
still need to do the whole range flush.
Alternatively, we can track which part of the range is flushed in
move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and which didn't to avoid flushing the whole
range in move_page_tables(). But that would require multiple tlb
flushes for the different sub-ranges and should be less efficient than
the single whole range flush.
KBuild test on my Sandybridge desktop doesn't show any noticeable change.

split_huge_pmd() doesn't guarantee that the pmd is normal pmd pointing

callers make this assertion and some do it differently and some not, so
let's do it in a unified manner.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.
Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.
As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).
This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.
I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here
$ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l
98
$ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l
62
I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in

This patch (of 18):
This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable. It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.
Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.
The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.
vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

Whatever huge pagecache implementation we go with, file rmap locking
must be added to anon rmap locking, when mremap's move_page_tables()
finds a pmd_trans_huge pmd entry: a simple change, let's do it now.
Factor out take_rmap_locks() and drop_rmap_locks() to handle the locking
for make move_ptes() and move_page_tables(), and delete the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA which rejected vm_file and required anon_vma.

There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up:
- 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it;
- most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(),
before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does
the check.
The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has
different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd.
- pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using
pte_alloc().

DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd. This simple approach
reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge
page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail. PTE table can be
allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store.
But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after
split_huge_pmd(). In most places we do this already to deal with
parallel MADV_DONTNEED.
But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due
down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX
properly.

When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which
testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign
new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been
commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do
anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall
for dynamic memory allocations.
Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable
for anonymous memory accounting. But in this patch we go further, and
the changes are bundled together as:
* keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits
* replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm
* account anonymous executable areas as executable
* account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack
* drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account
* enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas
This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends
only on vm_flags state:
VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE -> code (VmExe + VmLib in proc)
VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN -> stack (VmStk)
VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data (VmData)
The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called
"shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO
area.
- RLIMIT_AS limits whole address space "VmSize"
- RLIMIT_STACK limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually)
- RLIMIT_DATA now limits "VmData"

MREMAP_FIXED moves a pfnmap from old vma to new vma. untrack_pfn() is
called with the old vma after its pfnmap page table has been removed,
which causes follow_phys() to fail. The new vma has a new pfnmap to
the same pfn & cache type with VM_PAT set. Therefore, we only need to
clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case.
Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma.
move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when
VM_PFNMAP is set. move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn()
is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

Recently I straced bash behavior in this dd zero pipe to read test, in
part of testing under vm.overcommit_memory=2 (OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode):
# dd if=/dev/zero | read x
The bash sub shell is calling mremap to reallocate more and more memory
untill it finally failed -ENOMEM (I expect), or to be killed by system OOM
killer (which should not happen under OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode); But the
mremap system call actually failed of -EFAULT, which is a surprise to me,
I think it's supposed to be -ENOMEM? then I wrote this piece of C code
testing confirmed it: https://gist.github.com/crquan/326bde37e1ddda8effe5
$ ./remap
allocated one page @0x7f686bf71000, (PAGE_SIZE: 4096)
grabbed 7680512000 bytes of memory (1875125 pages) @ 00007f6690993000.
mremap failed Bad address (14).
The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure,
underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success
or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case?
this sounds like a mistake to me.
Some more digging into git history:
1) Before commit 119f657c7 ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005
(pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure;
2) but commit 119f657c7 ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it
accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to
be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment;
3) then in commit 54f5de709 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning
-EFAULT, should be wrong.

Pull aio updates from Benjamin LaHaise.
* git://git.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-next:
aio: Skip timer for io_getevents if timeout=0
aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring
There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze
all PMDs on rmap walk. It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or
mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or
move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken. To get it work we rely on
rmap walk order to not miss any entry. We expect to see destination VMA
after source one to work correctly.
But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always
possible to preserve expected walk order.
It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff()
/ vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with
vma_interval_tree_insert_after().
But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as
result shifted left in interval tree. Fortunately, we can detect the
situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries
under rmap lock. See commit 38a76013ad.
Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD. Most
likely this bug caused the crash[1].

The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()

need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by

by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Dave reported corrupted swap entries
| [ 4588.541886] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 00002d15
| [ 4588.541952] BUG: Bad page map in process trinity-kid12 pte:005a2a80 pmd:22c01f067
and Hugh pointed that in move_ptes _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set regardless
the type of entry pte consists of. The trick here is that when we carry
soft dirty status in swap entries we are to use _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY
instead, because this is the only place in pte which can be used for own
needs without intersecting with bits owned by swap entry type/offset.

This patch is very similar to commit 84d96d8976 ("mm: madvise:
complete input validation before taking lock"): perform some basic
validation of the input to mremap() before taking the
¤t->mm->mmap_sem lock.
This also makes the MREMAP_FIXED => MREMAP_MAYMOVE dependency slightly
more explicit.

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."
