92181f190b x86: optimise x86's do_page_fault (C entry point for the page fault path)
Impact: cleanup, restructure code to improve assembly

gcc isn't _all_ that smart about spilling registers to stack or reusing
stack slots, even with branch annotations. do_page_fault contained a lot
of functionality, so split unlikely paths into their own functions, and
mark them as noinline just to be sure. I consider this actually to be
somewhat of a cleanup too: the main function now contains about half
the number of lines so the normal path is easier to read, while the error
cases are also nicely split away.

Also, ensure the order of arguments to functions is always the same: regs,
addr, error_code. This can reduce code size a tiny bit, and just looks neater
too.

And add a couple of branch annotations.

Before:
  do_page_fault:
          subq    $360, %rsp      #,

After:
  do_page_fault:
          subq    $56, %rsp       #,

Yes, the total size increases by 542 bytes, due to the extra function calls.
But these will very rarely be called (except for vmalloc_fault) in a normal
workload. Importantly, do_page_fault is less than 1/3rd it's original size,
and touches far less stack.

Existing gotos and branch hints did move a lot of the infrequently used text
out of the fastpath, but that's even further improved after this patch.

f313e12308 x86: avoid theoretical vmalloc fault loop
Ajith Kumar noticed:

 I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
 about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.

 pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
 pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);

 Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
 and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
 However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
 pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
 returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
 of which the kernel thread has faulted.  This could lead to never-ending
 faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush.  So, shouldn't the
 pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
 pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);

We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

1c0fe6e3bd mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault
Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Only converted x86 and uml so far.

350b4da71f CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the x86 arch
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit
is not to be called.

Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call
to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected
not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0
instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use
signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.

891cffbd6b x86/mm: do not trigger a kernel warning if user-space disables interrupts and generates a page fault
Arjan reported a spike in the following bug pattern in v2.6.27:

   http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=lock_page

which happens because hwclock started triggering warnings due to
a (correct) might_sleep() check in the MM code.

The warning occurs because hwclock uses this dubious sequence of
code to run "atomic" code:

  static unsigned long
  atomic(const char *name, unsigned long (*op)(unsigned long),
         unsigned long arg)
  {
    unsigned long v;
    __asm__ volatile ("cli");
    v = (*op)(arg);
    __asm__ volatile ("sti");
    return v;
  }

Then it pagefaults in that "atomic" section, triggering the warning.

There is no way the kernel could provide "atomicity" in this path,
a page fault is a cannot-continue machine event so the kernel has to
wait for the page to be filled in.

Even if it was just a minor fault we'd have to take locks and might have
to spend quite a bit of time with interrupts disabled - not nice to irq
latencies in general.

So instead just enable interrupts in the pagefault path unconditionally
if we come from user-space, and handle the fault.

Also, while touching this code, unify some trivial parts of the x86
VM paths at the same time.

67350a5c45 x86: simplify vmalloc_sync_all
vmalloc_sync_all() is only called from register_die_notifier and
alloc_vm_area.  Neither is on any performance-critical paths, so
vmalloc_sync_all() itself is not on any hot paths.

Given that the optimisations in vmalloc_sync_all add a fair amount of
code and complexity, and are fairly hard to evaluate for correctness,
it's better to just remove them to simplify the code rather than worry
about its absolute performance.

b29c701dea x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6
Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.

Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.

All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.

Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.

Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:

Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540

Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.

In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320

The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332

"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282

No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.

This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...

In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

7c9f8861e6 stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops time
(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about
the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches)

Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate
at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed.

This is a very simple implementation with a couple of
drawbacks:

1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last
   word on the stack

 -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim

2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough
   that the canary location could get skipped over

 -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun
 -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :(

With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might
do:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680
IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8
PGD 8063 PUD 0
Thread overran stack or stack corrupted
Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
CPU 0
...

0fd0e3da45 x86: mmiotrace full patch, preview 1
kmmio.c handles the list of mmio probes with callbacks, list of traced
pages, and attaching into the page fault handler and die notifier. It
arms, traps and disarms the given pages, this is the core of mmiotrace.

mmio-mod.c is a user interface, hooking into ioremap functions and
registering the mmio probes. It also decodes the required information
from trapped mmio accesses via the pre and post callbacks in each probe.
Currently, hooking into ioremap functions works by redefining the symbols
of the target (binary) kernel module, so that it calls the traced
versions of the functions.

The most notable changes done since the last discussion are:
- kmmio.c is a built-in, not part of the module
- direct call from fault.c to kmmio.c, removing all dynamic hooks
- prepare for unregistering probes at any time
- make kmmio re-initializable and accessible to more than one user
- rewrite kmmio locking to remove all spinlocks from page fault path

Can I abuse call_rcu() like I do in kmmio.c:unregister_kmmio_probe()
or is there a better way?

The function called via call_rcu() itself calls call_rcu() again,
will this work or break? There I need a second grace period for RCU
after the first grace period for page faults.

Mmiotrace itself (mmio-mod.c) is still a module, I am going to attack
that next. At some point I will start looking into how to make mmiotrace
a tracer component of ftrace (thanks for the hint, Ingo). Ftrace should
make the user space part of mmiotracing as simple as
'cat /debug/trace/mmio > dump.txt'.

86069782d6 x86: add a list for custom page fault handlers.
Provides kernel modules a way to register custom page fault handlers.
On every page fault this will call a list of registered functions. The
functions may handle the fault and force do_page_fault() to return
immediately.

This functionality is similar to the now removed page fault notifiers.
Custom page fault handlers are used by debugging and reverse engineering
tools. Mmiotrace is one such tool and a patch to add it into the tree
will follow.

The custom page fault handlers are called earlier in do_page_fault()
than the page fault notifiers were.

This patch renames VM_MASK to X86_VM_MASK (which
in turn defined as alias to X86_EFLAGS_VM) to better
distinguish from virtual memory flags. We can't just
use X86_EFLAGS_VM instead because it is also used
for conditional compilation

3085354de6 x86: prefetch fix #2
Linus noticed a second bug and an uncleanliness:

 - we'd return on any instruction fetch fault

 - we'd use both the value of 16 and the PF_INSTR symbol which are
   the same and make no sense

the cleanup nicely unifies this piece of logic.

d8b57bb700 x86: make spurious fault handler aware of large mappings
In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious
fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte
pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it
will fault recursively.

Make the code aware of large mappings and do the permission check
on the pmd/pud entry, when a large pud/pmd mapping is detected.

5b727a3b01 x86: ignore spurious faults
When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem.  They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).

This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.
