<id>urn:sha1:86a913d55c89dd13ba070a87f61a493563e94b54</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fac35ba763ed07ba93154c95ffc0c4a55023707f upstream.

On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb (2M and
1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size specified.

So when looking up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it will
use pte_offset_map_lock() to get the pte entry lock for the CONT-PTE size
hugetlb in follow_page_pte().  However this pte entry lock is incorrect
for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, since we should use huge_pte_lock() to get
the correct lock, which is mm-&gt;page_table_lock.

That means the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb under current pte
lock is unstable in follow_page_pte(), we can continue to migrate or
poison the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which can cause some
potential race issues, even though they are under the 'pte lock'.

For example, suppose thread A is trying to look up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb
page by move_pages() syscall under the lock, however antoher thread B can
migrate the CONT-PTE hugetlb page at the same time, which will cause
thread A to get an incorrect page, if thread A also wants to do page
migration, then data inconsistency error occurs.

Moreover we have the same issue for CONT-PMD size hugetlb in
follow_huge_pmd().

To fix above issues, rename the follow_huge_pmd() as follow_huge_pmd_pte()
to handle PMD and PTE level size hugetlb, which uses huge_pte_lock() to
get the correct pte entry lock to make the pte entry stable.

Mike said:

Support for CONT_PMD/_PTE was added with bb9dd3df8ee9 ("arm64: hugetlb:
refactor find_num_contig()").  Patch series "Support for contiguous pte
hugepages", v4.  However, I do not believe these code paths were
executed until migration support was added with 5480280d3f2d ("arm64/mm:
enable HugeTLB migration for contiguous bit HugeTLB pages") I would go
with 5480280d3f2d for the Fixes: targe.

<title>mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP collapse</title>

commit 70cbc3cc78a997d8247b50389d37c4e1736019da upstream.

Since general RCU GUP fast was introduced in commit 2667f50e8b81 ("mm:
introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()"), a TLB flush is no longer
sufficient to handle concurrent GUP-fast in all cases, it only handles
traditional IPI-based GUP-fast correctly.  On architectures that send an
IPI broadcast on TLB flush, it works as expected.  But on the
architectures that do not use IPI to broadcast TLB flush, it may have the
below race:

   CPU A                                          CPU B
THP collapse                                     fast GUP
                                              gup_pmd_range() &lt;-- see valid pmd
                                                  gup_pte_range() &lt;-- work on pte
pmdp_collapse_flush() &lt;-- clear pmd and flush
__collapse_huge_page_isolate()
    check page pinned &lt;-- before GUP bump refcount
                                                      pin the page
                                                      check PTE &lt;-- no change
__collapse_huge_page_copy()
    copy data to huge page
    ptep_clear()
install huge pmd for the huge page
                                                      return the stale page
discard the stale page

The race can be fixed by checking whether PMD is changed or not after
taking the page pin in fast GUP, just like what it does for PTE.  If the
PMD is changed it means there may be parallel THP collapse, so GUP should
back off.

Also update the stale comment about serializing against fast GUP in
khugepaged.

<title>mm/gup: fix FOLL_FORCE COW security issue and remove FOLL_COW</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=9def52eb10baab3b700858003d462fcf17d62873'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9def52eb10baab3b700858003d462fcf17d62873</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5535be3099717646781ce1540cf725965d680e7b upstream.

Ever since the Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) security issue happened, we know
that FOLL_FORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races
that can be exploited by user space.

Right now, it would be sufficient to have some code that sets a PTE of a
R/O-mapped shared page dirty, in order for it to erroneously become
writable by FOLL_FORCE.  The implications of setting a write-protected PTE
dirty might not be immediately obvious to everyone.

And in fact ever since commit 9ae0f87d009c ("mm/shmem: unconditionally set
pte dirty in mfill_atomic_install_pte"), we can use UFFDIO_CONTINUE to map
a shmem page R/O while marking the pte dirty.  This can be used by
unprivileged user space to modify tmpfs/shmem file content even if the
user does not have write permissions to the file, and to bypass memfd
write sealing -- Dirty COW restricted to tmpfs/shmem (CVE-2022-2590).

To fix such security issues for good, the insight is that we really only
need that fancy retry logic (FOLL_COW) for COW mappings that are not
writable (!VM_WRITE).  And in a COW mapping, we really only broke COW if
we have an exclusive anonymous page mapped.  If we have something else
mapped, or the mapped anonymous page might be shared (!PageAnonExclusive),
we have to trigger a write fault to break COW.  If we don't find an
exclusive anonymous page when we retry, we have to trigger COW breaking
once again because something intervened.

Let's move away from this mandatory-retry + dirty handling and rely on our
PageAnonExclusive() flag for making a similar decision, to use the same
COW logic as in other kernel parts here as well.  In case we stumble over
a PTE in a COW mapping that does not map an exclusive anonymous page, COW
was not properly broken and we have to trigger a fake write-fault to break
COW.

Just like we do in can_change_pte_writable() added via commit 64fe24a3e05e
("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages
when changing protection") and commit 76aefad628aa ("mm/mprotect: fix
soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()"), take care of softdirty
and uffd-wp manually.

For example, a write() via /proc/self/mem to a uffd-wp-protected range has
to fail instead of silently granting write access and bypassing the
userspace fault handler.  Note that FOLL_FORCE is not only used for debug
access, but also triggered by applications without debug intentions, for
example, when pinning pages via RDMA.

This fixes CVE-2022-2590. Note that only x86_64 and aarch64 are
affected, because only those support CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR.

Fortunately, FOLL_COW is no longer required to handle FOLL_FORCE. So
let's just get rid of it.

Thanks to Nadav Amit for pointing out that the pte_dirty() check in
FOLL_FORCE code is problematic and might be exploitable.

Note 1: We don't check for the PTE being dirty because it doesn't matter
	for making a "was COWed" decision anymore, and whoever modifies the
	page has to set the page dirty either way.

Note 2: Kernels before extended uffd-wp support and before
	PageAnonExclusive (&lt; 5.19) can simply revert the problematic
	commit instead and be safe regarding UFFDIO_CONTINUE. A backport to
	v5.19 requires minor adjustments due to lack of
	vma_soft_dirty_enabled().

[ Upstream commit 7ce82f4c3f3ead13a9d9498768e3b1a79975c4d8 ]

We might fail to isolate huge page due to e.g.  the page is under
migration which cleared HPageMigratable.  We should return errno in this
case rather than always return 1 which could confuse the user, i.e.  the
caller might think all of the memory is migrated while the hugetlb page is
left behind.  We make the prototype of isolate_huge_page consistent with
isolate_lru_page as suggested by Huang Ying and rename isolate_huge_page
to isolate_hugetlb as suggested by Muchun to improve the readability.

<content type='text'>
FSDAX page refcounts are 1-based, rather than 0-based: if refcount is
1, then the page is freed.  The FSDAX pages can be pinned through GUP,
then they will be unpinned via unpin_user_page() using a folio variant
to put the page, however, folio variants did not consider this special
case, the result will be to miss a wakeup event (like the user of
__fuse_dax_break_layouts()).  This results in a task being permanently
stuck in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state.

Since FSDAX pages are only possibly obtained by GUP users, so fix GUP
instead of folio_put() to lower overhead.

pin_user_pages API forces FOLL_PIN in gup_flags, which means that the API
requires struct page **pages to be provided (not NULL).  However, the
comment to pin_user_pages() clearly allows for passing in a NULL @pages
argument.

Remove the incorrect comments, and add WARN_ON_ONCE(!pages) calls to
enforce the API.

<title>mm/gup: sanity-check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that anonymous pages are exclusive when (un)pinning</title>
<updated>2022-05-10T01:20:45Z</updated>
<author>
<name>David Hildenbrand</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b6a2619c60b41a929bbb9c09f193d690d707b1af'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b6a2619c60b41a929bbb9c09f193d690d707b1af</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's verify when (un)pinning anonymous pages that we always deal with
exclusive anonymous pages, which guarantees that we'll have a reliable
PIN, meaning that we cannot end up with the GUP pin being inconsistent
with he pages mapped into the page tables due to a COW triggered by a
write fault.

When pinning pages, after conditionally triggering GUP unsharing of
possibly shared anonymous pages, we should always only see exclusive
anonymous pages.  Note that anonymous pages that are mapped writable must
be marked exclusive, otherwise we'd have a BUG.

When pinning during ordinary GUP, simply add a check after our conditional
GUP-triggered unsharing checks.  As we know exactly how the page is
mapped, we know exactly in which page we have to check for
PageAnonExclusive().

When pinning via GUP-fast we have to be careful, because we can race with
fork(): verify only after we made sure via the seqcount that we didn't
race with concurrent fork() that we didn't end up pinning a possibly
shared anonymous page.

Similarly, when unpinning, verify that the pages are still marked as
exclusive: otherwise something turned the pages possibly shared, which can
result in random memory corruptions, which we really want to catch.

With only the pinned pages at hand and not the actual page table entries
we have to be a bit careful: hugetlb pages are always mapped via a single
logical page table entry referencing the head page and PG_anon_exclusive
of the head page applies.  Anon THP are a bit more complicated, because we
might have obtained the page reference either via a PMD or a PTE --
depending on the mapping type we either have to check PageAnonExclusive of
the head page (PMD-mapped THP) or the tail page (PTE-mapped THP) applies:
as we don't know and to make our life easier, check that either is set.

Take care to not verify in case we're unpinning during GUP-fast because we
detected concurrent fork(): we might stumble over an anonymous page that
is now shared.

<title>mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a7f226604170acd6b142b76472c1a49c12ebb83d</id>
<content type='text'>
Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that
might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault
on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page
due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the
page actually mapped into the page table.

The possible ways to deal with this situation are:
 (1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now.
 (2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and
     could break user space.
 (3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O
     pins.

Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and allows
for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs: when
trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something went
very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard to
debug.  So we better have a nice way to spot such issues.

This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private mapping
(IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will always remain
consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages.

As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with
FOLL_PIN as documented in:
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com
The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET
instead of FOLL_PIN.

Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in
there with FOLL_PIN.

This commit is heavily based on prototype patches by Andrea.

<title>mm/gup: disallow follow_page(FOLL_PIN)</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=8909691b6c5a84b67573b23ee8bb917b005628f0'/>

We want to change the way we handle R/O pins on anonymous pages that might
be shared: if we detect a possibly shared anonymous page -- mapped R/O and
not !PageAnonExclusive() -- we want to trigger unsharing via a page fault,
resulting in an exclusive anonymous page that can be pinned reliably
without getting replaced via COW on the next write fault.

However, the required page fault will be problematic for follow_page(): in
contrast to ordinary GUP, follow_page() doesn't trigger faults internally.
So we would have to end up failing a R/O pin via follow_page(), although
there is something mapped R/O into the page table, which might be rather
surprising.

We don't seem to have follow_page(FOLL_PIN) users, and it's a purely
internal MM function.  Let's just make our life easier and the semantics
of follow_page() clearer by just disallowing FOLL_PIN for follow_page()
completely.
