mm/madvise: add MADV_COLLAPSE to process_madvise()
Allow MADV_COLLAPSE behavior for process_madvise(2) if caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN or is requesting collapse of it's own memory. This is useful for the development of userspace agents that seek to optimize THP utilization system-wide by using userspace signals to prioritize what memory is most deserving of being THP-backed.

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_COLLAPSE sync hugepage collapse
This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1]. Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense. The benefits of this approach are: * CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the THP * Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse Semantics This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE. If the ranges provided span multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent from the others. This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary. If collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified. The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to be hugepage-aligned. If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned address covered by said range. The memory ranges must span at least one hugepage-sized region. All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly allocated hugepage. Unmapped pages will have their data directly initialized to 0 in the new hugepage. However, for every eligible hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must already exist). Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or compaction, regardless of VMA flags. When the system has multiple NUMA nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most native pages. This operation operates on the current state of the specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future Return Value If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this operation will be deemed successful. On success, process_madvise(2) returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0. Else, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently attempted hugepage collapse. Note that many failures might have occurred, since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single hugepage-sized/aligned region fails. ENOMEM Memory allocation failed or VMA not found EBUSY Memcg charging failed EAGAIN Required resource temporarily unavailable. Try again might succeed. EINVAL Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ... Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an appropriate fallback measure. Use Cases An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED; zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that could benefit from this[2]. Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is expected. File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit: * Backing executable text by THPs. Current support provided by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which might impair services from serving at their full rated load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance and lower RAM footprints. * Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

mm: handling Non-LRU pages returned by vm_normal_pages
With DEVICE_COHERENT, we'll soon have vm_normal_pages() return device-managed anonymous pages that are not LRU pages. Although they behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page, and for COW. They do not support LRU lists, NUMA migration or THP. Callers to follow_page() currently don't expect ZONE_DEVICE pages, however, with DEVICE_COHERENT we might now return ZONE_DEVICE. Check for ZONE_DEVICE pages in applicable users of follow_page() as well.

mm: submit multipage reads for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space
swap_readpage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly in succession. For block-device swap-space, the blk_plug functionality allows the multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page reads. With this patch we pass in a pointer-to-pointer when swap_readpage can store state between calls - much like the effect of blk_plug. After calling swap_readpage() some number of times, the state will be passed to swap_read_unplug() which can submit the combined request.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file
Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw. This patch (of 10): Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/ Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.

mm: madvise: MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKED
MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use cases for depopulating locked ranges as well. Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages. Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to mess with its overall policy. Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase? - MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior now could lead to quiet data corruption. - It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later. - The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't change the default behavior because of the two previous points. Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise
The process_madvise() system call is expected to skip holes in vma passed through 'struct iovec' vector list. But do_madvise, which process_madvise() calls for each vma, returns ENOMEM in case of unmapped holes, despite the VMA is processed. Thus process_madvise() should treat ENOMEM as expected and consider the VMA passed to as processed and continue processing other vma's in the vector list. Returning -ENOMEM to user, despite the VMA is processed, will be unable to figure out where to start the next madvise.

mm: madvise: return correct bytes advised with process_madvise
Patch series "mm: madvise: return correct bytes processed with process_madvise", v2. With the process_madvise(), always choose to return non zero processed bytes over an error. This can help the user to know on which VMA, passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list, is failed to advise thus can take the decission of retrying/skipping on that VMA. This patch (of 2): The process_madvise() system call returns error even after processing some VMA's passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list which leaves the user confused to know where to restart the advise next. It is also against this syscall man page[1] documentation where it mentions that "return value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error occurred after some iovec elements were already processed.". Consider a user passed 10 VMA's in the 'struct iovec' vector list of which 9 are processed but one. Then it just returns the error caused on that failed VMA despite the first 9 VMA's processed, leaving the user confused about on which VMA it is failed. Returning the number of bytes processed here can help the user to know which VMA it is failed on and thus can retry/skip the advise on that VMA.

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.

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.

mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreap
munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all() on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages. There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(). exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range(). And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas, because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks? No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

mm: use pidfd_get_task()
Instead of duplicating the same code in two places use the newly added pidfd_get_task() helper. This fixes an (unimportant for now) bug where PIDTYPE_PID is used whereas PIDTYPE_TGID should have been used.

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.

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.

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. v.3: Detailed results ================================================== 2 MiB MAP_PRIVATE: ************************************************** Anon 4 KiB : Read : 0.119 ms Anon 4

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.

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.

Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit. Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g. ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more complex argument passing than necessary.

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.

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.

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.
- ssp
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.
