* nfsd: fix vm overcommit crashAlan Cox2008-10-301-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junjiro R. Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit. In this situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a NULL pointer. We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago). To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Reported-by: Junjiro R.

* mlock: mlocked pages are unevictableNick Piggin2008-10-201-11/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

* nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.Paul Mundt2008-06-121-18/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03670c7a544a56d441eb1a6cc800d72b. As Christoph points out: virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to figure out if a page is valid. Otherwise the page struct reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set to indicate that it is not a valid page. As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d07f15b267eecb20e76a48fd5c524ef on the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work fine. It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

* nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUBPaul Mundt2008-06-061-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's reuse of the index in struct slob_page. Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object. Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2 Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's patches: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2 This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of object abuse entirely.

* procfs task exe symlinkMatt Helsley2008-04-291-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

* mm/nommu.c: return 0 from kobjsize with invalid objectsMichael Hennerich2008-04-281-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage. On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached memory at the top of memory. Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the uncached dma coherent section. this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf: root:/proc> cat maps [snip] 03f0ef00-03f34700 rw-p 00000000 1f:00 192 /dev/fb0 root:/proc> This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in kobjsize. BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER); since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's max valid memory. root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done kernel BUG at mm/nommu.c:119!

* nommu: add new vmalloc_user() and remap_vmalloc_range() interfaces.Paul Mundt2008-02-051-1/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This builds on top of the earlier vmalloc_32_user() work introduced by b50731732f926d6c49fd0724616a7344c31cd5cf, as we now have places in the nommu allmodconfig that hit up against these missing APIs. As vmalloc_32_user() is already implemented, this is moved over to vmalloc_user() and simply made a wrapper. As all current nommu platforms are 32-bit addressable, there's no special casing we have to do for ZONE_DMA and things of that nature as per GFP_VMALLOC32. remap_vmalloc_range() needs to check VM_USERMAP in order to figure out whether we permit the remap or not, which means that we also have to rework the vmalloc_user() code to grovel for the VMA and set the flag.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will round such a hint address above mmap_min_addr. gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs failed and with the patch they happily get a higher address. This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to survive an allmodconfig on a nommu platform results in many screen lengths of module unhappiness. Many of the mmap related things that binfmt_flat hooks in to are never exported despite being global, and there are also missing definitions for vmalloc_32_user() and vm_insert_page(). I've implemented vmalloc_32_user() trying to stick as close to the mm/vmalloc.c implementation as possible, though we don't have any need for VM_USERMAP, so groveling for the VMA can be skipped. vm_insert_page() has been stubbed for now in order to keep the build happy.

* mm: fault feedback #1Nick Piggin2007-07-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason. The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

* mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)Nick Piggin2007-07-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was playing with blackfin when i hit a neat bug ... doing an open() on a directory and then passing that fd to mmap() would cause the kernel to hang after poking into the code a bit more, i found that mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ... i then noticed that some other parts of the logic is out of date between the two funcs, so perhaps that's the easy fix ?

[*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash other processes. This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag when deciding whether to permit a write. Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set. In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel. The following changes are made: (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem code. (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode. (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

* mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logicLinus Torvalds2005-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Final step in pushing down common core's page_table_lock. follow_page no longer wants caller to hold page_table_lock, uses pte_offset_map_lock itself; and so no page_table_lock is taken in get_user_pages itself. But get_user_pages (and get_futex_key) do then need follow_page to pin the page for them: take Daniel's suggestion of bitflags to follow_page. Need one for WRITE, another for TOUCH (it was the accessed flag before: vanished along with check_user_page_readable, but surely get_numa_maps is wrong to mark every page it finds as accessed), another for GET. And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page table and return ZERO_PAGE if so. Fix minor bug in that: check VM_LOCKED - make_pages_present ought to make readonly anonymous present. Give get_numa_maps a cond_resched while we're there.

* [PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in timeHugh Dickins2005-10-291-13/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.
