<content type='text'>
commit fd7b4f9f46d46acbc7af3a439bb0d869efdc5c58 upstream.

When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK are enabled, the
object_is_on_stack() function may produce incorrect results due to the
presence of tags in the obj pointer, while the stack pointer does not have
tags.  This discrepancy can lead to incorrect stack object detection and
subsequently trigger warnings if CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS is also enabled.

Example of the warning:

ODEBUG: object 3eff800082ea7bb0 is NOT on stack ffff800082ea0000, but annotated.

<content type='text'>
Instead of lingering until the device is closed, this has us handle
SIGKILL by:

1. marking the worker as killed so we no longer try to use it with
   new virtqueues and new flush operations.
2. setting the virtqueue to worker mapping so no new works are queued.
3. running all the exiting works.

<title>mm: introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:961148704acd814a4a5acaa4687a45e2315dd857</id>
<content type='text'>
When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN).  In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:

 1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
    gaps.
 2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
    are not in *its* guard gaps.

The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2.  So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area.  Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.

In order to take the start gap into account, the maple tree search needs
to know the size of start gap the new mapping will need.  The call chain
from do_mmap() to the actual maple tree search looks like this:

do_mmap(size, vm_flags, map_flags, ..)
	mm/mmap.c:get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
		arch_get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
			vm_unmapped_area(struct vm_unmapped_area_info)

One option would be to add another MAP_ flag to mean a one page start gap
(as is for shadow stack), but this consumes a flag unnecessarily.  Another
option could be to simply increase the size passed in do_mmap() by the
start gap size, and adjust after the fact, but this will interfere with
the alignment requirements passed in struct vm_unmapped_area_info, and
unknown to mmap.c.  Instead, introduce variants of
arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() that take vm_flags.  In future changes,
these variants can be used in mmap.c:get_unmapped_area() to allow the
vm_flags to be passed through to vm_unmapped_area(), while preserving the
normal arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() for the existing callers.

<title>mm: switch mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() to a flag</title>
<updated>2024-04-26T03:56:25Z</updated>

<name>Rick Edgecombe</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=529ce23a764f25d172198b4c6ba90f1e2ad17f93'/>
<id>urn:sha1:529ce23a764f25d172198b4c6ba90f1e2ad17f93</id>
<content type='text'>
The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.

Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required.  In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments.  So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.

Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags().  Most MM flags get clobbered on fork.  In the
pre-existing behavior mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.

Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag.  Then drop the mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() function pointer.  Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone.  The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.

The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel.  On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.

In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. 
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

<title>sched/cpufreq: Rename arch_update_thermal_pressure() =&gt; arch_update_hw_pressure()</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that cpufreq provides a pressure value to the scheduler, rename
arch_update_thermal_pressure into HW pressure to reflect that it returns
a pressure applied by HW (i.e. with a high frequency change) and not
always related to thermal mitigation but also generated by max current
limitation as an example. Such high frequency signal needs filtering to be
smoothed and provide an value that reflects the average available capacity
into the scheduler time scale.

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:

 - Subvolume children btree; this is needed for providing a userspace
   interface for walking subvolumes, which will come later

 - Lots of improvements to directory structure checking

 - Improved journal pipelining, significantly improving performance on
   high iodepth write workloads

 - Discard path improvements: the discard path is more efficient, and no
   longer flushes the journal unnecessarily

 - Buffered write path can now avoid taking the inode lock

 - new mm helper: memalloc_flags_{save|restore}

 - mempool now does kvmalloc mempools

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.
