7bf02ea22c arch, mm: filter disallowed nodes from arch specific show_mem functions
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context.  This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.

ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

Fix __get_user_pages() to make it pin the last page on a buffer that doesn't
begin at the start of a page, but is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE in size.

The problem is that __get_user_pages() advances the pointer too much when it
iterates to the next page if the page it's currently looking at isn't used from
the first byte.  This can cause the end of a short VMA to be reached
prematurely, resulting in the last page being lost.

	nommu: get_user_pages(): pin last page on non-page-aligned start

As it assumes that the mappings begin at the start of pages - something that
isn't necessarily true on NOMMU systems.  On NOMMU systems, it is possible for
a mapping to only occupy part of the page, and not necessarily touch either end
of it; in fact it's also possible for multiple non-overlapping mappings to
coexist on one page (consider direct mappings of ROMFS files, for example).

5beb493052 mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads.  Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.

In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes.  However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.

This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock.  This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands.  Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.

This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA.  At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated.  The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.

This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
 This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.

The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations.  This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures.  This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.

A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock.  To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag.  This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.

Some test results:

Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.

With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time.  The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

7e6608724c nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problems
Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen
over the end of a truncation.  The problem is that
ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the
VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree.

The following sequence of events can cause the problem:

	fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600);
	ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024);
	a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	munmap(a, 32 * 1024);
	ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024);
	c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file.  Mapping 'b'
sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so
shares it, pinning it in memory.

Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA
'b'.  However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has
_not_ been reduced.

Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the
desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check,
and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of
the mapping have been discarded.

However:

	d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by
'a'.

To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation,
lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region
automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

779c10232c nommu: remove a superfluous check of vm_region::vm_usage
In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a
region that's in use by more than one VMA because:

 (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions
     (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs).

 (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle
     by which to refer to the already existing region.

 (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also
     been split into two regions, each of usage 1.

7959722b95 NOMMU: Use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()
The MMU code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm()
rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush.  This
is important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with
gdb.  So switch the NOMMU code over to do the same.

This patch makes the reasonable assumption that copy_from_user_page()
won't fail - which is probably fine, as we've checked the VMA from which
we're copying is usable, and the copy is not allowed to cross VMAs.  The
one case where it might go wrong is if the VMA is a device rather than
RAM, and that device returns an error which - in which case rubbish will
be returned rather than EIO.

cfe79c00a2 NOMMU: Avoiding duplicate icache flushes of shared maps
When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only
code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like
busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an
icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it
when the map is initially created.

The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC.
Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being
executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to
remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the
entire region when a bit of it is made executable.

However, this also affects the brk area.  That will no longer be
executable.  We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but
for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making
sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice.  The brk area
probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up
the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is
larger than requested.

Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c,
where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains
the MAP_HUGETLB handling.  Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32.

This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32,
whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS.  Perhaps validate_mmap_request()
should reject it with -EINVAL?  Add that later if necessary.

ea63763959 nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flag
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory.  While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory.  This can easily be a significant
performance penalty.  So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.

This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised
memory for the brk and stack region.

89a8640279 NOMMU: Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in do_mmap_pgoff()
Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU
do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it.

The following can be used as a test program:

	int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;}

Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by
fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of
memory.  With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size
and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the
allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

645d83c5db NOMMU: Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of objects where the data can be mapped directly
Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of files and devices where the data in the backing store
might be mapped directly.  Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern
whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly.  This can be used to
determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call
do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private().

The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if
there's any reason we can't use it.  It's also cleared in do_mmap_pgoff() if
f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails.

Without this fix, attempting to run a program from a RomFS image on a
non-mappable MTD partition results in a BUG as the kernel attempts XIP, and
this can be caught in gdb:

Some architectures (like the Blackfin arch) implement some of the
"simpler" features that one would expect out of a MMU such as memory
protection.

In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page
boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel.

There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload)
however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design
time.

58fa879e1e mm: FOLL flags for GUP flags
__get_user_pages() has been taking its own GUP flags, then processing
them into FOLL flags for follow_page().  Though oddly named, the FOLL
flags are more widely used, so pass them to __get_user_pages() now.
Sorry, VM flags, VM_FAULT flags and FAULT_FLAGs are still distinct.

(The patch to __get_user_pages() looks peculiar, with both gup_flags
and foll_flags: the gup_flags remain constant; but as before there's
an exceptional case, out of scope of the patch, in which foll_flags
per page have FOLL_WRITE masked off.)

Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff().  If do_mmap_shared_file() or

point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet
added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG
because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree.

To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree
before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep
nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a
transient region.

788084aba2 Security/SELinux: seperate lsm specific mmap_min_addr
Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable.  This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.

The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.

This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.

With the introduction of follow_pfn() as an exported symbol, modules have
begun making use of it. Unfortunately this was not reflected on nommu at
the time, so the in-tree users have subsequently all blown up with link
errors there.

This provides a simple follow_pfn() that just returns addr >> PAGE_SHIFT,
which will do the right thing on nommu. There is no need to do range
checking within the vma, as the find_vma() case will already take care of
this.

fc4d5c292b nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable
NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines
whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess
space trimmed off and returned to the allocator.  Make the initial setting
of this variable a Kconfig configuration option.

The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates
in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a
power of 2.

There are two alternatives:

 (1) Keep the excess as dead space.  The dead space then remains unused for the
     lifetime of the mapping.  Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so
     or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever.

 (2) Return the excess to the allocator.  This means that the dead space is
     limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient
     process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be
     reused fairly quickly.

During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and
this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs
grow greatly during this time.

By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling
batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot.

A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option
off.  By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration
processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation.  In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).

The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff.  using it is right
way.  it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

 (3) Move the allocation of the vm_area_struct slab back for fork.c.

 (4) Use KMEM_CACHE() for both vm_area_struct and vm_region slabs.

 (5) Use BUG_ON() rather than if () BUG().

 (6) Make the default validate_nommu_regions() a static inline rather than a
     #define.

 (7) Make free_page_series()'s objection to pages with a refcount != 1 more
     informative.

 (8) Adjust the __put_nommu_region() banner comment to indicate that the
     semaphore must be held for writing.

 (9) Limit the number of warnings about munmaps of non-mmapped regions.

ab2e83ead4 NOMMU: Teach kobjsize() about VMA regions.
Now that we no longer use compound pages for all large allocations,
kobjsize() actively breaks things like binfmt_flat by always handing
back PAGE_SIZE for mmap'ed regions. Fix this up by looking up the
VMA region for non-compounds.

Ideally binfmt_flat wants to get rid of kobjsize() completely, but
this is an incremental step.

dd8632a12e NOMMU: Make mmap allocation page trimming behaviour configurable.
NOMMU mmap allocates a piece of memory for an mmap that's rounded up in size to
the nearest power-of-2 number of pages.  Currently it then discards the excess
pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other
things.  This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation.

To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming
behaviour.  The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while
this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular
watermark in order to have finer-grained control.

8feae13110 NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

b291f00039 mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable
Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd
will not scan them over and over again.

This is achieved through various strategies:

1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that
   the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and,
   optionally, fault path.  This allows early culling of
   unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to
   page_referenced()/try_to_unmap().  Also allows separate
   accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch
   did.

   Note:  Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked
   flag.  I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable
   flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member].  I
   restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new
   count field.

2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c,
   with internal APIs in mm/internal.h.  This is a rework
   of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into
   account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable
   LRU list.

3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked()
   and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags.  Note that the vma
   will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;
   and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault
   path" patch is included.

4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and
   ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.
   Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible.  This
   effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links
   as an mlock count.  If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked
   vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it
   does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().  One
   hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

5a1603be58 nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.
This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring
introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03.

As Christoph points out:

	virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also
	does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to
	figure out if a page is valid.  Otherwise the page struct
	reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set
	to indicate that it is not a valid page.

As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable
way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing
up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the
hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d on
the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in
kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre
memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin
decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved
for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work
fine.

It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for
non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just
use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

6cfd53fc03 nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUB
kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.

Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.

Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2

Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2

This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.

925d1c401f procfs task exe symlink
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.

Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems.  Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.

That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs.  So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped.  This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

4016a1390d mm/nommu.c: return 0 from kobjsize with invalid objects
Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage.

On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function
dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached
memory at the top of memory.

Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the
kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the
uncached dma coherent section.

this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a
frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf:

root:/proc> cat maps
[snip]
03f0ef00-03f34700 rw-p 00000000 1f:00 192        /dev/fb0
root:/proc>

This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to
find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in
kobjsize.

BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER);

since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's
max valid memory.

root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done
kernel BUG at mm/nommu.c:119!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

We fixed this by adding a check to reject out of range object pointers as it
already does that for NULL pointers.

f905bc447c nommu: add new vmalloc_user() and remap_vmalloc_range() interfaces.
This builds on top of the earlier vmalloc_32_user() work introduced by
b50731732f, as we now have places in the nommu
allmodconfig that hit up against these missing APIs.

As vmalloc_32_user() is already implemented, this is moved over to
vmalloc_user() and simply made a wrapper.  As all current nommu platforms are
32-bit addressable, there's no special casing we have to do for ZONE_DMA and
things of that nature as per GFP_VMALLOC32.

remap_vmalloc_range() needs to check VM_USERMAP in order to figure out whether
we permit the remap or not, which means that we also have to rework the
vmalloc_user() code to grovel for the VMA and set the flag.

7cd94146cd Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a
non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the
security checks.  Since this is just a hint address this patch will round
such a hint address above mmap_min_addr.

gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses
in the 8k-32k range.  Without this patch all such programs failed and with
the patch they happily get a higher address.

This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist
without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what.  So
we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of
time.

avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

b50731732f nommu: vmalloc_32_user()/vm_insert_page() and symbol exports.
Trying to survive an allmodconfig on a nommu platform results in many
screen lengths of module unhappiness.  Many of the mmap related things that
binfmt_flat hooks in to are never exported despite being global, and there
are also missing definitions for vmalloc_32_user() and vm_insert_page().

I've implemented vmalloc_32_user() trying to stick as close to the
mm/vmalloc.c implementation as possible, though we don't have any need for
VM_USERMAP, so groveling for the VMA can be skipped.  vm_insert_page() has

d0217ac04c mm: fault feedback #1
Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
 FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).

This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.

struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use

54cb8821de mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)
Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

ed03218951 security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space.  The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect."  Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

1eeb66a1bb move die notifier handling to common code
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

f81cff0d40 [PATCH] uclinux: fix mmap() of directory for nommu case
I was playing with blackfin when i hit a neat bug ... doing an open() on a
directory and then passing that fd to mmap() would cause the kernel to hang

after poking into the code a bit more, i found that
mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just
returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's
mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ...
i then noticed that some other parts of the logic is out of date between the
two funcs, so perhaps that's the easy fix ?

930e652a21 [PATCH] NOMMU: Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions
Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions.

This can be tested by running this in one shell:

	#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
		do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

	int main()
	{
		int shmid, tmp, *f, n;

		shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
		SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

		f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

		n = *f;
		printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n);
		tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
		printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp);

		tmp = shmdt(f);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

		exit(0);
	}

And then this in the other shell:

	#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
		do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

	int main()
	{
		int shmid, tmp, *f;

		shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
		SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

		f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

		(*f)++;
		printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f);
		tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
		printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp);

		tmp = shmdt(f);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

		exit(0);
	}

The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it
for the number at the start to change.  The program will increment that number
and wake the first program up.  This leads to output of the form:

	SHELL 1			SHELL 2
	=======================	=======================
	# /dowait
	WAIT: 0xc32ac000{0}
				# /dowake
				WAKE: 0xc32ac000{1}
	WAITED: 0		WOKE: 1

d00c7b9937 [PATCH] NOMMU: Permit ptrace to ignore non-PROT_WRITE VMAs in NOMMU mode
Permit ptrace to modify a section that's non-shared but is marked
unwritable, such as is obtained by mapping the text segment of an ELF-FDPIC
executable binary with into a binary that's being ptraced[*].

[*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become
    totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared
    then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash
    other processes.

This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag
when deciding whether to permit a write.

Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text
sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the
mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set.

In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.

Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off.
We can therefore use the __ variant here.
