mm/vma: introduce VM_ACCESS_FLAGS

2020-04-10T22:36:21Z

There are many places where all basic VMA access flags (read, write, exec) are initialized or checked against as a group. One such example is during page fault. Existing vma_is_accessible() wrapper already creates the notion of VMA accessibility as a group access permissions. Hence lets just create VM_ACCESS_FLAGS (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) which will not only reduce code duplication but also extend the VMA accessibility concept in general.

userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration

2020-04-07T17:43:39Z

For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected. It plays a similar role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD. Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all. In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry. That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. This patch also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

userfaultfd: wp: apply _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit

2020-04-07T17:43:39Z

Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags are exclusively used. Then, - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW when a range of memory is write protected by uffd - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover _PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT. Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs. Then we can start to identify which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp. Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well. Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd(). After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp. Here the userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first. Only after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle the general COW. These are the steps on what will happen with such a page: 1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority than general COW. 2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD. However here we still keep the write bit cleared. Notify the blocked CPU. 3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page, apply write bit where necessary, and retry again. 4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

mm: merge parameters for change_protection()

2020-04-07T17:43:39Z

change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code, there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls: - change_protection_range() - change_p4d_range() - change_pud_range() - change_pmd_range() - ... Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters multiple times along the way. More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced. No functional change at all.

mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE

2020-04-07T17:43:38Z

Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these are put in one patch as one logical change.

autonuma: reduce cache footprint when scanning page tables

2019-12-01T20:59:09Z

In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state already. So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary too. So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of NUMA balancing page table scanning. In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20 read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97% (that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls

2019-09-26T00:51:41Z

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect, mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages. The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses. Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the corresponding vma.
