942341dcc5 mm: fix use-after-free when anon vma name is used after vma is freed
When adjacent vmas are being merged it can result in the vma that was
originally passed to madvise_update_vma being destroyed.  In the current
implementation, the name parameter passed to madvise_update_vma points
directly to vma->anon_name and it is used after the call to vma_merge.
In the cases when vma_merge merges the original vma and destroys it,
this might result in UAF.  For that the original vma would have to hold
the anon_vma_name with the last reference.  The following vma would need
to contain a different anon_vma_name object with the same string.  Such
scenario is shown below:

madvise_vma_behavior(vma)
  madvise_update_vma(vma, ..., anon_name == vma->anon_name)
    vma_merge(vma)
      __vma_adjust(vma) <-- merges vma with adjacent one
        vm_area_free(vma) <-- frees the original vma
    replace_vma_anon_name(anon_name) <-- UAF of vma->anon_name

Fix this by raising the name refcount and stabilizing it.

96403e1128 mm: prevent vm_area_struct::anon_name refcount saturation
A deep process chain with many vmas could grow really high.  With
default sysctl_max_map_count (64k) and default pid_max (32k) the max
number of vmas in the system is 2147450880 and the refcounter has
headroom of 1073774592 before it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED
(3221225472).

Therefore it's unlikely that an anonymous name refcounter will overflow
with these defaults.  Currently the max for pid_max is PID_MAX_LIMIT
(4194304) and for sysctl_max_map_count it's INT_MAX (2147483647).  In
this configuration anon_vma_name refcount overflow becomes theoretically
possible (that still require heavy sharing of that anon_vma_name between
processes).

kref refcounting interface used in anon_vma_name structure will detect a
counter overflow when it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED value but will only
generate a warning and freeze the ref counter.  This would lead to the
refcounted object never being freed.  A determined attacker could leak
memory like that but it would be rather expensive and inefficient way to
do so.

To ensure anon_vma_name refcount does not overflow, stop anon_vma_name
sharing when the refcount reaches REFCOUNT_MAX (2147483647), which still
leaves INT_MAX/2 (1073741823) values before the counter reaches
REFCOUNT_SATURATED.  This should provide enough headroom for raising the
refcounts temporarily.

5c26f6ac94 mm: refactor vm_area_struct::anon_vma_name usage code
Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by
using struct anon_vma_name whenever possible.  This simplifies the code
and allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they
represent the same name.

17fca131ce mm: move anon_vma declarations to linux/mm_inline.h
The patch to add anonymous vma names causes a build failure in some
configurations:

  include/linux/mm_types.h: In function 'is_same_vma_anon_name':
  include/linux/mm_types.h:924:37: error: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    924 |         return name && vma_name && !strcmp(name, vma_name);
        |                                     ^~~~~~
  include/linux/mm_types.h:22:1: note: 'strcmp' is defined in header '<string.h>'; did you forget to '#include <string.h>'?

This should not really be part of linux/mm_types.h in the first place,
as that header is meant to only contain structure defintions and need a
minimum set of indirect includes itself.

While the header clearly includes more than it should at this point,
let's not make it worse by including string.h as well, which would pull
in the expensive (compile-speed wise) fortify-string logic.

Move the new functions into a separate header that only needs to be
included in a couple of locations.

78db341283 mm: add anonymous vma name refcounting
While forking a process with high number (64K) of named anonymous vmas
the overhead caused by strdup() is noticeable.  Experiments with ARM64
Android device show up to 40% performance regression when forking a
process with 64k unpopulated anonymous vmas using the max name lengths
vs the same process with the same number of anonymous vmas having no
name.

Introduce anon_vma_name refcounted structure to avoid the overhead of
copying vma names during fork() and when splitting named anonymous vmas.

When a vma is duplicated, instead of copying the name we increment the
refcount of this structure.  Multiple vmas can point to the same
anon_vma_name as long as they increment the refcount.  The name member
of anon_vma_name structure is assigned at structure allocation time and
is never changed.  If vma name changes then the refcount of the original
structure is dropped, a new anon_vma_name structure is allocated to hold
the new name and the vma pointer is updated to point to the new
structure.

With this approach the fork() performance regressions is reduced 3-4x
times and with usecases using more reasonable number of VMAs (a few
thousand) the regressions is not measurable.

9a10064f56 mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory
In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use.  At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.).  Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.

On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc.  This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages.  It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).

If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.

Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes.  It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace.  Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace.  It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.

This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas.  The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:<name>].

Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling

   prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)

Setting the name to NULL clears it.  The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps.  Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.

The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string.  Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name.  The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.

CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature.  It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.

The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names.  In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas.  However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.

One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names.  Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4].  I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.

This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name.  Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):

PR_SET_VMA
	Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
	starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
	size specified	in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
	to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
	area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
	memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.

	Currently, arg2 must be one of:

	PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
		Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
		be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
		name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
		80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
		anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
		can contain only printable ascii characters (including
                space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

                This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
                the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

This patch (of 3):

Refactor the madvise syscall to allow for parts of it to be reused by a
prctl syscall that affects vmas.

Move the code that walks vmas in a virtual address range into a function
that takes a function pointer as a parameter.  The only caller for now
is sys_madvise, which uses it to call madvise_vma_behavior on each vma,
but the next patch will add an additional caller.

Move handling all vma behaviors inside madvise_behavior, and rename it
to madvise_vma_behavior.

Move the code that updates the flags on a vma, including splitting or
merging the vma as necessary, into a new function called
madvise_update_vma.  The next patch will add support for updating a new
anon_name field as well.

d5fffc5aff mm/madvise: add MADV_WILLNEED to process_madvise()
There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device.  When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.

To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground.  Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

eb2faa513c mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)
Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also
SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another
madvise() user error.

We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that
the user could have know as -EINVAL.

Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL,
but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space.  While we could also convert
it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might
want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is
not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.

4ca9b3859d mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings

When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region.  Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators.  In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does
not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily
with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).

While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.

Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically
and avoid expensive/problematic remappings.  In addition, we never
actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort
only.

fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a
safe way.  However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics.  In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults
on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads)
and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of
backend storage.  There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory
regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy
as it does not prefault page tables.

II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space

Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and
databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not
overwrite existing data) all individual pages.

However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
   each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
   threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
   of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
   problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
   be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
   "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
   easy.

III. On MADV_WILLNEED

Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
   "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
   preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
   don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
   to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
   expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
   might be spent.

IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE

Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
   manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
   mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
   might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
   write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
   fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
   the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
   prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
   reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
   mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
   mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
   permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
   mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
   might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
   when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
   cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
   process.

While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time.  while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.

MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back.  As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.

Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also
be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is
not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.

Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements --
which should also still be the case.

V. Single-threaded performance comparison

I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times.  The results
correspond to the shortest execution time.  In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.

V.1: Private mappings

POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest.  Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and
prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.

V.2: Shared mappings

fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables.
POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.

Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault
page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.  With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.

96cfe2c0fd mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach requirement for process_madvise
process_madvise currently requires ptrace attach capability.
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH gives one process complete control over another
process.  It effectively removes the security boundary between the two
processes (in one direction).  Granting ptrace attach capability even to a
system process is considered dangerous since it creates an attack surface.
This severely limits the usage of this API.

The operations process_madvise can perform do not affect the correctness
of the operation of the target process; they only affect where the data is
physically located (and therefore, how fast it can be accessed).  What we
want is the ability for one process to influence another process in order
to optimize performance across the entire system while leaving the
security boundary intact.

Replace PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH with a combination of PTRACE_MODE_READ and
CAP_SYS_NICE.  PTRACE_MODE_READ to prevent leaking ASLR metadata and
CAP_SYS_NICE for influencing process performance.

Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
  time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
  directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
  with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
  filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
  maintainers.

  Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
  are just a few:

   - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
     multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
     scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
     implementation of portable home directories in
     systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
     directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
     computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
     effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
     login time.

   - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
     containers without having to change ownership permanently through
     chown(2).

   - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
     mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
     user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
     Linux subsystem.

   - It is possible to share files between containers with
     non-overlapping idmappings.

   - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
     use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
     permission checking.

   - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
     basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
     contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
     instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
     ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
     container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
     mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
     all files.

   - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
     idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
     to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
     take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
     simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
     especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
     files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
     directory and container and vm scenario.

   - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
     to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
     apply as long as the mount exists.

  Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
  pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
  this:

   - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
     in their implementation of portable home directories.

         https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/

   - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
     host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
     containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
     containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
     a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734

   - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
     in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
     ported.

   - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.

  I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
  here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
  mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
  talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:

      https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
      https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/

  This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
  xfs:

      https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts

  It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
  execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
  non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
  setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
  be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
  merge this.

  In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
  user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
  map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
  By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
  The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
  idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
  testsuite.

  Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
  and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
  the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
  introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
  the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
  to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
  whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
  currently marked with.

  The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
  passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
  argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
  MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
  of extensibility.

  The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
  mount:

   - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
     user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.

   - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.

   - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
     idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.

   - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
     been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
     and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.

  The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
  kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.

  By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
  behavioral or performance changes are observed.

  The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:

      1d7b902e28

  In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
  and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
  patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
  complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
  xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
  will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
  that port has been done correctly.

  The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
  mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
  valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
  mounts based on file descriptors only.

  Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
  RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
  we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
  path resolution.

  While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
  proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
  possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
  the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.

  With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
  restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
  covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
  crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
  tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
  syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
  projects.

  There is a simple tool available at

      https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped

  that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
  patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
  decide to pull this in the following weeks:

inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware
The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

1e8aaedb18 mm,memory_failure: always pin the page in madvise_inject_error
madvise_inject_error() uses get_user_pages_fast to translate the address
we specified to a page.  After [1], we drop the extra reference count for
memory_failure() path.  That commit says that memory_failure wanted to
keep the pin in order to take the page out of circulation.

The truth is that we need to keep the page pinned, otherwise the page
might be re-used after the put_page() and we can end up messing with
someone else's memory.

E.g:

CPU0
process X					CPU1
 madvise_inject_error
  get_user_pages
   put_page
					page gets reclaimed
					process Y allocates the page
  memory_failure
   // We mess with process Y memory

madvise() is meant to operate on a self address space, so messing with
pages that do not belong to us seems the wrong thing to do.
To avoid that, let us keep the page pinned for memory_failure as well.

Pages for DAX mappings will release this extra refcount in
memory_failure_dev_pagemap.

memory_failure and soft_offline_path paths now drain pcplists by calling
get_hwpoison_page.

memory_failure flags the page as HWPoison before, so that page cannot
longer go into a pcplist, and soft_offline_page only flags a page as
HWPoison if 1) we took the page off a buddy freelist 2) the page was
in-use and we migrated it 3) was a clean pagecache.

Because of that, a page cannot longer be poisoned and be in a pcplist.

a68a0262ab mm/madvise: remove racy mm ownership check
Jann spotted the security hole due to race of mm ownership check.

If the task is sharing the mm_struct but goes through execve() before
mm_access(), it could skip process_madvise_behavior_valid check.  That
makes *any advice hint* to reach into the remote process.

This patch removes the mm ownership check.  With it, it will lose the
ability that local process could give *any* advice hint with vector
interface for some reason (e.g., performance).  Since there is no
concrete example in upstream yet, it would be better to remove the
abiliity at this moment and need to review when such new advice comes
up.

ecb8ac8b1f mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API
There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.

The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app.  Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.

To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2).  It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint.  It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement.  I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).

Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations.  In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment.  With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.

ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.

I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky.  Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone.  Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.

If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint.  It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.

So finally, the API is as follows,

      ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
                unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);

    DESCRIPTION
      The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
      to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
      local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
      described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
      system or application performance.

      The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
      specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)

      The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
      <sys/uio.h> as:

        struct iovec {
            void *iov_base;         /* starting address */
            size_t iov_len;         /* number of bytes to be advised */
        };

      The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
      and with size length of bytes(iov_len).

      The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.

      The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
      following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
      external.

        MADV_COLD
        MADV_PAGEOUT

      Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
      ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).

      The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
      process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
      use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
      vector address ranges.

    RETURN VALUE
      On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
      This return value may be less than the total number of requested
      bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
      to determine whether a partial advice occurred.

FAQ:

Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?

Quote from Sandeep

"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote.  The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.

After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.

In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.

So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.

Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves.  We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.

So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.

Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?

process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called.  If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect.  It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition.  For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called.  Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process.  Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm.  The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization.  It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.

The race isn't really a problem though.  Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner?  Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something.  Think about mmap.  It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before.  That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside.  It shouldn't be part of API itself.  If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3].  Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.

To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.

Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?

Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA.  Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill.  It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.

0726b01e70 mm/madvise: pass mm to do_madvise
Patch series "introduce memory hinting API for external process", v9.

Now, we have MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD as madvise hinting API.  With
that, application could give hints to kernel what memory range are
preferred to be reclaimed.  However, in some platform(e.g., Android), the
information required to make the hinting decision is not known to the app.
Instead, it is known to a centralized userspace daemon(e.g.,
ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim
on its own without any app involvement.

To solve the concern, this patch introduces new syscall -
process_madvise(2).  Bascially, it's same with madvise(2) syscall but it
has some differences.

1. It needs pidfd of target process to provide the hint

2. It supports only MADV_{COLD|PAGEOUT|MERGEABLE|UNMEREABLE} at this
   moment.  Other hints in madvise will be opened when there are explicit
   requests from community to prevent unexpected bugs we couldn't support.

3. Only privileged processes can do something for other process's
   address space.

For more detail of the new API, please see "mm: introduce external memory
hinting API" description in this patchset.

This patch (of 3):

In upcoming patches, do_madvise will be called from external process
context so we shouldn't asssume "current" is always hinted process's
task_struct.

Furthermore, we must not access mm_struct via task->mm, but obtain it via
access_mm() once (in the following patch) and only use that pointer [1],
so pass it to do_madvise() as well.  Note the vma->vm_mm pointers are
safe, so we can use them further down the call stack.

And let's pass current->mm as arguments of do_madvise so it shouldn't
change existing behavior but prepare next patch to make review easy.

5a2ffca3c2 mm,hwpoison: return 0 if the page is already poisoned in soft-offline
Currently, there is an inconsistency when calling soft-offline from
different paths on a page that is already poisoned.

1) madvise:

        madvise_inject_error skips any poisoned page and continues
        the loop.
        If that was the only page to madvise, it returns 0.

2) /sys/devices/system/memory/:

        When calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page(),
        we return -EBUSY in case the page is already poisoned.
        This is inconsistent with a) the above example and b)
        memory_failure, where we return 0 if the page was poisoned.

Fix this by dropping the PageHWPoison() check in madvise_inject_error, and
let soft_offline_page return 0 if it finds the page already poisoned.

Please, note that this represents a user-api change, since now the return
error when calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page() will be
different.

The backing vma was shmem.

In case of split page of file-backed THP, madvise zaps the pmd instead
of remapping of sub-pages.  So we need to check pmd validity after
split.

It is because vma is accessed after releasing mmap_lock, but someone

Releasing mmap_lock after accessing vma should fix the problem.

bc0c4d1e17 mm: check that mm is still valid in madvise()
IORING_OP_MADVISE can end up basically doing mprotect() on the VM of
another process, which means that it can race with our crazy core dump
handling which accesses the VM state without holding the mmap_sem
(because it incorrectly thinks that it is the final user).

This is clearly a core dumping problem, but we've never fixed it the
right way, and instead have the notion of "check that the mm is still
ok" using mmget_still_valid() after getting the mmap_sem for writing in
any situation where we're not the original VM thread.

See commit 04f5866e41 ("coredump: fix race condition between
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping") for more background on
this whole mmget_still_valid() thing.  You might want to have a barf bag
handy when you do.

We're discussing just fixing this properly in the only remaining core
dumping routines.  But even if we do that, let's make do_madvise() do
the right thing, and then when we fix core dumping, we can remove all

12e967fd8e mm: do not allow MADV_PAGEOUT for CoW pages
Jann has brought up a very interesting point [1].  While shared pages
are excluded from MADV_PAGEOUT normally, CoW pages can be easily
reclaimed that way.  This can lead to all sorts of hard to debug
problems.  E.g.  performance problems outlined by Daniel [2].

There are runtime environments where there is a substantial memory
shared among security domains via CoW memory and a easy to reclaim way
of that memory, which MADV_{COLD,PAGEOUT} offers, can lead to either
performance degradation in for the parent process which might be more
privileged or even open side channel attacks.

The feasibility of the latter is not really clear to me TBH but there is
no real reason for exposure at this stage.  It seems there is no real
use case to depend on reclaiming CoW memory via madvise at this stage so
it is much easier to simply disallow it and this is what this patch
does.  Put it simply MADV_{PAGEOUT,COLD} can operate only on the
exclusively owned memory which is a straightforward semantic.

madvise_pageout() accesses the specified range of the vma and isolates
them, then runs shrink_page_list() to reclaim its memory.  But it also
isolates the unevictable pages to reclaim.  Hence, we can catch the
cases in shrink_page_list().

The root cause is that we scan the page tables instead of specific LRU
list.  and so we need to filter out the unevictable lru pages from our
end.

1a4e58cce8 mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly.  The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.

A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size.  If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].

- man-page material

MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)

Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.

MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

9c276cc65a mm: introduce MADV_COLD
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.

- Background

The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start.  While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.

To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon).  They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory.  In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache.  Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.

- Problem

Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap.  Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process.  Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.

- Approach

The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state.  Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.

To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly.  These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space.  MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.

This patch (of 5):

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future.  The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.

It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves

	active file page -> inactive file LRU
	active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU

Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault.  Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages.  It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied.  Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system.  However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost.  Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU.  Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device.  Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment.  However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.

* man-page material

MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)

Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies.  In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.

MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.

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.

7b86ac3371 pagewalk: separate function pointers from iterator data
The mm_walk structure currently mixed data and code.  Split out the
operations vectors into a new mm_walk_ops structure, and while we are
changing the API also declare the mm_walk structure inside the
walk_page_range and walk_page_vma functions.

Based on patch from Linus Torvalds.
