Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
of cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".

MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.

page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

The need to get ELF build ID reliably is an important aspect when dealing
with profiling and stack trace symbolization, and /proc/<pid>/maps textual
representation doesn't help with this.
To get backing file's ELF build ID, application has to first resolve VMA,
then use it's start/end address range to follow a special
/proc/<pid>/map_files/<start>-<end> symlink to open the ELF file (this is
necessary because backing file might have been removed from the disk or
was already replaced with another binary in the same file path.
Such approach, beyond just adding complexity of having to do a bunch of
extra work, has extra security implications. Because application opens
underlying ELF file and needs read access to its entire contents (as far
as kernel is concerned), kernel puts additional capable() checks on
following /proc/<pid>/map_files/<start>-<end> symlink. And that makes
sense in general.
But in the case of build ID, profiler/symbolizer doesn't need the contents
of ELF file, per se. It's only build ID that is of interest, and ELF
build ID itself doesn't provide any sensitive information.
So this patch adds a way to request backing file's ELF build ID along the
rest of VMA information in the same API. User has control over whether
this piece of information is requested or not by either setting
build_id_size field to zero or non-zero maximum buffer size they provided
through build_id_addr field (which encodes user pointer as __u64 field).
This is a completely optional piece of information, and so has no
performance implications for user cases that don't care about build ID,
while improving performance and simplifying the setup for those
application that do need it.
Kernel already implements build ID fetching, which is used from BPF
subsystem. We are reusing this code here, but plan a follow up changes to
make it work better under more relaxed assumption (compared to what
existing code assumes) of being called from user process context, in which
page faults are allowed. BPF-specific implementation currently bails out
if necessary part of ELF file is not paged in, all due to extra
BPF-specific restrictions (like the need to fetch build ID in restrictive
contexts such as NMI handler).

/proc/<pid>/maps file is extremely useful in practice for various tasks
involving figuring out process memory layout, what files are backing any
given memory range, etc. One important class of applications that
absolutely rely on this are profilers/stack symbolizers (perf tool being
one of them). Patterns of use differ, but they generally would fall into
two categories.
In on-demand pattern, a profiler/symbolizer would normally capture stack
trace containing absolute memory addresses of some functions, and would
then use /proc/<pid>/maps file to find corresponding backing ELF files
(normally, only executable VMAs are of interest), file offsets within
them, and then continue from there to get yet more information (ELF
symbols, DWARF information) to get human-readable symbolic information.
This pattern is used by Meta's fleet-wide profiler, as one example.
In preprocessing pattern, application doesn't know the set of addresses of
interest, so it has to fetch all relevant VMAs (again, probably only
executable ones), store or cache them, then proceed with profiling and
stack trace capture. Once done, it would do symbolization based on stored
VMA information. This can happen at much later point in time. This
patterns is used by perf tool, as an example.
In either case, there are both performance and correctness requirement
involved. This address to VMA information translation has to be done as
efficiently as possible, but also not miss any VMA (especially in the case
of loading/unloading shared libraries). In practice, correctness can't be
guaranteed (due to process dying before VMA data can be captured, or
shared library being unloaded, etc), but any effort to maximize the chance
of finding the VMA is appreciated.
Unfortunately, for all the /proc/<pid>/maps file universality and
usefulness, it doesn't fit the above use cases 100%.
First, it's main purpose is to emit all VMAs sequentially, but in practice
captured addresses would fall only into a smaller subset of all process'
VMAs, mainly containing executable text. Yet, library would need to parse
most or all of the contents to find needed VMAs, as there is no way to
skip VMAs that are of no use. Efficient library can do the linear pass
and it is still relatively efficient, but it's definitely an overhead that
can be avoided, if there was a way to do more targeted querying of the
relevant VMA information.
Second, it's a text based interface, which makes its programmatic use from
applications and libraries more cumbersome and inefficient due to the need
to handle text parsing to get necessary pieces of information. The
overhead is actually payed both by kernel, formatting originally binary
VMA data into text, and then by user space application, parsing it back
into binary data for further use.
For the on-demand pattern of usage, described above, another problem when
writing generic stack trace symbolization library is an unfortunate
performance-vs-correctness tradeoff that needs to be made. Library has to
make a decision to either cache parsed contents of /proc/<pid>/maps (after
initial processing) to service future requests (if application requests to
symbolize another set of addresses (for the same process), captured at
some later time, which is typical for periodic/continuous profiling cases)
to avoid higher costs of re-parsing this file. Or it has to choose to
cache the contents in memory to speed up future requests. In the former
case, more memory is used for the cache and there is a risk of getting
stale data if application loads or unloads shared libraries, or otherwise
changed its set of VMAs somehow, e.g., through additional mmap() calls.
In the latter case, it's the performance hit that comes from re-opening
the file and re-parsing its contents all over again.
This patch aims to solve this problem by providing a new API built on top
of /proc/<pid>/maps. It's meant to address both non-selectiveness and
text nature of /proc/<pid>/maps, by giving user more control of what sort
of VMA(s) needs to be queried, and being binary-based interface eliminates
the overhead of text formatting (on kernel side) and parsing (on user
space side).
It's also designed to be extensible and forward/backward compatible by
including required struct size field, which user has to provide. We use
established copy_struct_from_user() approach to handle extensibility.
User has a choice to pick either getting VMA that covers provided address
or -ENOENT if none is found (exact, least surprising, case). Or, with an
extra query flag (PROCMAP_QUERY_COVERING_OR_NEXT_VMA), they can get either
VMA that covers the address (if there is one), or the closest next VMA
(i.e., VMA with the smallest vm_start > addr). The latter allows more
efficient use, but, given it could be a surprising behavior, requires an
explicit opt-in.
There is another query flag that is useful for some use cases.
PROCMAP_QUERY_FILE_BACKED_VMA instructs this API to only return
file-backed VMAs. Combining this with PROCMAP_QUERY_COVERING_OR_NEXT_VMA
makes it possible to efficiently iterate only file-backed VMAs of the
process, which is what profilers/symbolizers are normally interested in.
All the above querying flags can be combined with (also optional) set of
desired VMA permissions flags. This allows to, for example, iterate only
an executable subset of VMAs, which is what preprocessing pattern, used by
perf tool, would benefit from, as the assumption is that captured stack
traces would have addresses of executable code. This saves time by
skipping non-executable VMAs altogether efficienty.
All these querying flags (modifiers) are orthogonal and can be combined in
a semantically meaningful and natural way.
Basing this ioctl()-based API on top of /proc/<pid>/maps's FD makes sense
given it's querying the same set of VMA data. It's also benefitial
because permission checks for /proc/<pid>/maps is performed at open time
once, and the actual data read of text contents of /proc/<pid>/maps is
done without further permission checks. We piggyback on this pattern with
ioctl()-based API as well, as that's a desired property. Both for
performance reasons, but also for security and flexibility reasons.
Allowing application to open an FD for /proc/self/maps without any extra
capabilities, and then passing it to some sort of profiling agent through
Unix-domain socket, would allow such profiling agent to not require some
of the capabilities that are otherwise expected when opening
/proc/<pid>/maps file for *another* process. This is a desirable property
for some more restricted setups.
This new ioctl-based implementation doesn't interfere with seq_file-based
implementation of /proc/<pid>/maps textual interface, and so could be used
together or independently without paying any price for that.
Note also, that fetching VMA name (e.g., backing file path, or special
hard-coded or user-provided names) is optional just like build ID. If
user sets vma_name_size to zero, kernel code won't attempt to retrieve it,
saving resources.
Earlier versions of this patch set were adding per-VMA locking, which is
why we have a code structure that is ready for abstracting mmap_lock vs
vm_lock differences (query_vma_setup(), query_vma_teardown(), and
query_vma_find_by_addr()), but given anon_vma_name() is not yet compatible
with per-VMA locking, initial implementation sticks to using only
mmap_lock for now. It will be easy to add back per-VMA locking once all
the pieces are ready later on. Which is why we keep existing code
structure with setup/teardown/query helper functions.

An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning
that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the
data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data.
Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the
write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special
alignment and length rules.
For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for
iocb->ki_flags field to indicate the same.
A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file:
- atomic_write_unit_min
- atomic_write_unit_max
- atomic_write_segments_max
Both min and max values must be a power-of-2.
Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total
length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between
atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications
must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file
wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max
indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt.
Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the
flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored.
Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have
RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected.
Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify
compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which
implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for
atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file
operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to
ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check
atomic writes sizes yet.

Add a new generic ioctls for querying the filesystem UUID.
These are lifted versions of the ext4 ioctls, with one change: we're not
using a flexible array member, because UUIDs will never be more than 16
bytes.
This patch adds a generic implementation of FS_IOC_GETFSUUID, which
reads from super_block->s_uuid. We're not lifting SETFSUUID from ext4 -
that can be done on offline filesystems by the people who need it,
trying to do it online is just asking for too much trouble.

The pwrite function, originally defined by POSIX (thus the "p"), is
defined to ignore O_APPEND and write at the offset passed as its
argument. However, historically Linux honored O_APPEND if set and
ignored the offset. This cannot be changed due to stability policy,
but is documented in the man page as a bug.
Now that there's a pwritev2 syscall providing a superset of the pwrite
functionality that has a flags argument, the conforming behavior can
be offered to userspace via a new flag. Since pwritev2 checks flag
validity (in kiocb_set_rw_flags) and reports unknown ones with
EOPNOTSUPP, callers will not get wrong behavior on old kernels that
don't support the new flag; the error is reported and the caller can
decide how to handle it.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl returns information regarding page table entries.
It is more efficient compared to reading pagemap files. CRIU can start to
utilize this ioctl, but it needs info about soft-dirty bits to track
memory changes.
We are aware of a new method for tracking memory changes implemented in
the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl. For CRIU, the primary advantage of this method is
its usability by unprivileged users. However, it is not feasible to
transparently replace the soft-dirty tracker with the new one. The main
problem here is userfault descriptors that have to be preserved between
pre-dump iterations. It means criu continues supporting the soft-dirty
method to avoid breakage for current users. The new method will be
implemented as a separate feature.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL on the pagemap file can be used to get or optionally
clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are
supported in this IOCTL:
- Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided
criteria. This is performed when the output buffer is specified.
- Write-protect the pages. The PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is used to write-protect
the pages of interest. The PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC aborts the operation if
non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
can be used with or without PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC.
- Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where
we can get and write protect the pages as well.
Following flags about pages are currently supported:
- PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED - Page has async-write-protection enabled
- PAGE_IS_WRITTEN - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected
- PAGE_IS_FILE - Page is file backed
- PAGE_IS_PRESENT - Page is present in the memory
- PAGE_IS_SWAPPED - Page is in swapped
- PAGE_IS_PFNZERO - Page has zero PFN
- PAGE_IS_HUGE - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed
This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. The
entire address range passed by user [start, end) is scanned until either
the user provided buffer is full or max_pages have been found.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:
../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^
Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

Add a flag ([EXT4|FS]_DAX_FL) to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4
inode.
Set the flag to be user visible and changeable. Set the flag to be
inherited. Allow applications to change the flag at any time except if
it conflicts with the set of mutually exclusive flags (Currently VERITY,
ENCRYPT, JOURNAL_DATA).
Furthermore, restrict setting any of the exclusive flags if DAX is set.
While conceptually possible, we do not allow setting EXT4_DAX_FL while
at the same time clearing exclusion flags (or vice versa) for 2 reasons:
1) The DAX flag does not take effect immediately which
introduces quite a bit of complexity
2) There is no clear use case for being this flexible
Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.

interest in using fs-verity too.
I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing

23d0127096cb ("fs/sync.c: make sync_file_range(2) use WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback") claims that sync_file_range(2) syscall was "created for
userspace to be able to issue background writeout and so waiting for
in-flight IO is undesirable there" and changes the writeback (back) to
WB_SYNC_NONE.
This claim is only partially true. It is true for users that use the flag
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE by itself, as does PostgreSQL, the user that was the
reason for changing to WB_SYNC_NONE writeback.
However, that claim is not true for users that use that flag combination
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_{WAIT_BEFORE|WRITE|_WAIT_AFTER}. Those users explicitly
requested to wait for in-flight IO as well as to writeback of dirty pages.
Re-brand that flag combination as SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE_AND_WAIT and use
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback to perform the full range sync request.

fscrypt: add Adiantum support
|

Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a
tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably
reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound.
It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper
"Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors"
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see
commit 059c2a4d8e16 ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support").
On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and
the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors
without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to
enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES
instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7,
on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than
AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster.
In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and
names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in
a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their
encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information.
Adiantum does not have this problem.
Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the
master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving
per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs
and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This
configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt
policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.

devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before

fscrypt currently only supports AES encryption. However, many low-end
mobile devices have older CPUs that don't have AES instructions, e.g.
the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions. Currently, user data on such devices
is not encrypted at rest because AES is too slow, even when the NEON
bit-sliced implementation of AES is used. Unfortunately, it is
infeasible to encrypt these devices at all when AES is the only option.
Therefore, this patch updates fscrypt to support the Speck block cipher,
which was recently added to the crypto API. The C implementation of
Speck is not especially fast, but Speck can be implemented very
efficiently with general-purpose vector instructions, e.g. ARM NEON.
For example, on an ARMv7 processor, we measured the NEON-accelerated
Speck128/256-XTS at 69 MB/s for both encryption and decryption, while
AES-256-XTS with the NEON bit-sliced implementation was only 22 MB/s
encryption and 19 MB/s decryption.
There are multiple variants of Speck. This patch only adds support for
Speck128/256, which is the variant with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit
key size -- the same as AES-256. This is believed to be the most secure
variant of Speck, and it's only about 6% slower than Speck128/128.
Speck64/128 would be at least 20% faster because it has 20% rounds, and
it can be even faster on CPUs that can't efficiently do the 64-bit
operations needed for Speck128. However, Speck64's 64-bit block size is
not preferred security-wise. ARM NEON also supports the needed 64-bit
operations even on 32-bit CPUs, resulting in Speck128 being fast enough
for our targeted use cases so far.
The chosen modes of operation are XTS for contents and CTS-CBC for
filenames. These are the same modes of operation that fscrypt defaults
to for AES. Note that as with the other fscrypt modes, Speck will not
be used unless userspace chooses to use it. Nor are any of the existing
modes (which are all AES-based) being removed, of course.
We intentionally don't make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK, so people will have to enable Speck support
themselves if they need it. This is because we shouldn't bloat the
FS_ENCRYPTION dependencies with every new cipher, especially ones that
aren't recommended for most users. Moreover, CRYPTO_SPECK is just the
generic implementation, which won't be fast enough for many users; in
practice, they'll need to enable CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON to get acceptable
performance.
More details about our choice of Speck can be found in our patches that
added Speck |
