<id>urn:sha1:4f5260ee0ce30773ec62799b71a0cf75d7ed9b92</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d3f7b1bb204099f2f7306318896223e8599bb6a2 upstream.

Currently to make sure that every page table entry is read just once
gup_fast walks perform READ_ONCE and pass pXd value down to the next
gup_pXd_range function by value e.g.:

  static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
                           unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
  ...
          pudp = pud_offset(&amp;p4d, addr);

This function passes a reference on that local value copy to pXd_offset,
and might get the very same pointer in return.  This happens when the
level is folded (on most arches), and that pointer should not be
iterated.

On s390 due to the fact that each task might have different 5,4 or
3-level address translation and hence different levels folded the logic
is more complex and non-iteratable pointer to a local copy leads to
severe problems.

Here is an example of what happens with gup_fast on s390, for a task
with 3-level paging, crossing a 2 GB pud boundary:

  // addr = 0x1007ffff000, end = 0x10080001000
  static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
                           unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
  {
        unsigned long next;
        pud_t *pudp;

        // pud_offset returns &amp;p4d itself (a pointer to a value on stack)
        pudp = pud_offset(&amp;p4d, addr);
        do {
                // on second iteratation reading "random" stack value
                pud_t pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp);

                // next = 0x10080000000, due to PUD_SIZE/MASK != PGDIR_SIZE/MASK on s390
                next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
                ...
        } while (pudp++, addr = next, addr != end); // pudp++ iterating over stack

        return 1;
  }

This happens since s390 moved to common gup code with commit
d1874a0c2805 ("s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust") and
commit 1a42010cdc26 ("s390/mm: convert to the generic
get_user_pages_fast code").

s390 tried to mimic static level folding by changing pXd_offset
primitives to always calculate top level page table offset in pgd_offset
and just return the value passed when pXd_offset has to act as folded.

What is crucial for gup_fast and what has been overlooked is that
PxD_SIZE/MASK and thus pXd_addr_end should also change correspondingly.
And the latter is not possible with dynamic folding.

To fix the issue in addition to pXd values pass original pXdp pointers
down to gup_pXd_range functions.  And introduce pXd_offset_lockless
helpers, which take an additional pXd entry value parameter.  This has
already been discussed in

<title>s390/mm: fix panic in gup_fast on large pud</title>

commit 582b4e55403e053d8a48ff687a05174da9cc3fb0 upstream.

On s390 there currently is no implementation of pud_write(). That was ok
as long as we had our own implementation of get_user_pages_fast() which
checked for pud protection by testing the bit directly w/o using
pud_write(). The other callers of pud_write() are not reachable on s390.

After commit 1a42010cdc26 ("s390/mm: convert to the generic
get_user_pages_fast code") we use the generic get_user_pages_fast(), which
does call pud_write() in pud_access_permitted() for FOLL_WRITE access on
a large pud. Without an s390 specific pud_write(), the generic version is
called, which contains a BUG() statement to remind us that we don't have a
proper implementation. This results in a kernel panic.

Fix this by providing an implementation of pud_write().

<title>s390/mm: properly clear _PAGE_NOEXEC bit when it is not supported</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ab874f22d35a8058d8fdee5f13eb69d8867efeae upstream.

On older HW or under a hypervisor, w/o the instruction-execution-
protection (IEP) facility, and also w/o EDAT-1, a translation-specification
exception may be recognized when bit 55 of a pte is one (_PAGE_NOEXEC).

The current code tries to prevent setting _PAGE_NOEXEC in such cases,
by removing it within set_pte_at(). However, ptep_set_access_flags()
will modify a pte directly, w/o using set_pte_at(). There is at least
one scenario where this can result in an active pte with _PAGE_NOEXEC
set, which would then lead to a panic due to a translation-specification
exception (write to swapped out page):

do_swap_page
  pte = mk_pte (with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit)
  set_pte_at   (will remove _PAGE_NOEXEC bit in page table, but keep it
                in local variable pte)
  vmf-&gt;orig_pte = pte (pte still contains _PAGE_NOEXEC bit)
  do_wp_page
    wp_page_reuse
      entry = vmf-&gt;orig_pte (still with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit)
      ptep_set_access_flags (writes entry with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit)

Fix this by clearing _PAGE_NOEXEC already in mk_pte_phys(), where the
pgprot value is applied, so that no pte with _PAGE_NOEXEC will ever be
visible, if it is not supported. The check in set_pte_at() can then also
be removed.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

Few other crucial memory setup options are already handled in
the startup code. Those values are needed by kaslr and kasan
implementations. "vmalloc" is the last piece required for future
improvements such as early decision on kernel page levels depth required
for actual memory setup, as well as vmalloc memory area access monitoring
in kasan.

"s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust" and a 2-level page
table it can now happen that pgd_bad() gets asked to verify a large
segment table entry. If the entry is marked as dirty pgd_bad() will
incorrectly return true.

Change the pgd_bad(), p4d_bad(), pud_bad() and pmd_bad() functions to
first verify the table type, return false if the table level is lower
than what the function is suppossed to check, return true if the table
level is too high, and otherwise check the relevant region and segment
table bits. pmd_bad() has to check against ~SEGMENT_ENTRY_BITS for
normal page table pointers or ~SEGMENT_ENTRY_BITS_LARGE for large
segment table entries. Same for pud_bad() which has to check against
~_REGION_ENTRY_BITS or ~_REGION_ENTRY_BITS_LARGE.
