While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, so let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.
This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand
over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace
might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however,
it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have
access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory.
Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are
executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is
currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the
rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is
permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD,
which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory.
As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the
approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful
review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With
some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if
desired.

When in seccomp mode, we would hang forever on the futex if a child has
died unexpectedly. In contrast, ptrace mode will notice it and kill the
corresponding thread when it fails to run it.
Fix this issue using a new IRQ that is fired after a SIGCHLD and keeping
an (internal) list of all MMs. In the IRQ handler, find the affected MM
and set its PID to -1 as well as the futex variable to FUTEX_IN_KERN.
This, together with futex returning -EINTR after the signal is
sufficient to implement a race-free detection of a child dying.
Note that this also enables IRQ handling while starting a userspace
process. This should be safe and SECCOMP requires the IRQ in case the
process does not come up properly.

simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when

- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,

hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to

performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
during memory compaction when using JFS.
- The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication

Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel
crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue
with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax
for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue
is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have
overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue.
In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm
is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a
userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must
be lifted out of the mm==NULL check.
Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL
assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before
the possibly faulting operation.

Now, the nine architectures of csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, mips,
nios2, openrisc, sh and um do not select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE,
and just call pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() (the wrapper of
tlb_remove_page()). This is the same as the implementation of
tlb_remove_{ptdesc|table}() under !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, so
convert these architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc().
The ultimate goal is to make the architecture only use tlb_remove_ptdesc()
or tlb_remove_table() for page table pages.

The existing sigio workaround implementation removes FDs from the
poll when events are triggered, requiring users to re-add them via
add_sigio_fd() after processing. This introduces a potential race
condition between FD removal in write_sigio_thread() and next_poll
update in __add_sigio_fd(), and is inefficient due to frequent FD
removal and re-addition. Rewrite the implementation based on epoll
and tgkill for improved efficiency and reliability.

sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in
time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to
be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with
time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on
the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a
sched_yield syscall.

There is no need to override the default version of this function
anymore as UML now has proper _nofault memory access functions.
Doing this also fixes the fact that the implementation was incorrect as

Mark read-only data actually read-only (simple mprotect), and
to be able to test it also implement _nofault accesses. This
works by setting up a new "segv_continue" pointer in current,
and then when we hit a segfault we change the signal return
context so that we continue at that address. The code using
this sets it up so that it jumps to a label and then aborts
the access that way, returning -EFAULT.
It's possible to optimize the ___backtrack_faulted() thing by
using asm goto (compiler version dependent) and/or gcc's (not
sure if clang has it) &&label extension, but at least in one
attempt I made the && caused the compiler to not load -EFAULT
into the register in case of jumping to the &&label from the
fault handler. So leave it like this for now.

max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().
Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().
While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of
ptlock. If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc->ptl is
NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify
pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function. Let's introduce pagetable_dtor()
to do this.
Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that
ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether
RCU is used). This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock
is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

- A series from Al Viro simplifies asm/vga.h, after it turns out that

to use that instead of their own implementation

This selects the THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option for UM and changes the way
that the current task is discovered. This is trivial though, as UML
already tracks the current task in cpu_tasks[] and this can be used to
retrieve it.
Also remove the signal handler code that copies the thread information
into the IRQ stack. It is obsolete now, which also means that the
mentioned race condition cannot happen anymore.

The show_stack function had some code to detect double faults. However,
the logic is wrong and it would e.g. trigger if a WARNING happened
inside an IRQ.
Remove it without trying to add a new logic. The current behaviour,
which will just fault repeatedly until the IRQ stack is used up and the
host kills UML, seems to be good enough.

page_to_phys is duplicated by all architectures, and from some strange
reason placed in <asm/io.h> where it doesn't fit at all.
phys_to_page is only provided by a few architectures despite having a lot
of open coded users.
Provide generic versions in <asm-generic/memory_model.h> to make these
helpers more easily usable.
Note with this patch powerpc loses the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL pfn_valid

The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE
CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it.
With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add
discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end
of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime.
Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal
handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump
creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.
This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not
have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the
sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to
decode the frame.
As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU
extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

In time-travel mode userspace can do a lot of work without any time
passing. Unfortunately, this can result in OOM situations as the RCU
core code will never be run.
Work around this by keeping track of userspace processes that do not
yield for a lot of operations. When this happens, insert a jiffie into
the sched_clock clock to account time against the process and cause the
bookkeeping to run.
As sched_clock is used for tracing, it is useful to keep it in sync
between the different VMs. As such, try to remove added ticks again when
the actual clock ticks.
