mm: fix a UAF when vma->mm is freed after vma->vm_refcnt got dropped
By inducing delays in the right places, Jann Horn created a reproducer for
a hard to hit UAF issue that became possible after VMAs were allowed to be
recycled by adding SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to their cache.
Race description is borrowed from Jann's discovery report:
lock_vma_under_rcu() looks up a VMA locklessly with mas_walk() under
rcu_read_lock(). At that point, the VMA may be concurrently freed, and it
can be recycled by another process. vma_start_read() then increments the
vma->vm_refcnt (if it is in an acceptable range), and if this succeeds,
vma_start_read() can return a recycled VMA.
In this scenario where the VMA has been recycled, lock_vma_under_rcu()
will then detect the mismatching ->vm_mm pointer and drop the VMA through
vma_end_read(), which calls vma_refcount_put(). vma_refcount_put() drops
the refcount and then calls rcuwait_wake_up() using a copy of vma->vm_mm.
This is wrong: It implicitly assumes that the caller is keeping the VMA's
mm alive, but in this scenario the caller has no relation to the VMA's mm,
so the rcuwait_wake_up() can cause UAF.
The diagram depicting the race:
T1 T2 T3
== == ==
lock_vma_under_rcu
mas_walk
<VMA gets removed from mm>
mmap
<the same VMA is reallocated>
vma_start_read
__refcount_inc_not_zero_limited_acquire
munmap
__vma_enter_locked
refcount_add_not_zero
vma_end_read
vma_refcount_put
__refcount_dec_and_test
rcuwait_wait_event
<finish operation>
rcuwait_wake_up [UAF]
Note that rcuwait_wait_event() in T3 does not block because refcount was
already dropped by T1. At this point T3 can exit and free the mm causing
UAF in T1.
To avoid this we move vma->vm_mm verification into vma_start_read() and
grab vma->vm_mm to stabilize it before vma_refcount_put() operation.

fs/proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/maps under per-vma lock
With maple_tree supporting vma tree traversal under RCU and per-vma locks, /proc/pid/maps can be read while holding individual vma locks instead of locking the entire address space. A completely lockless approach (walking vma tree under RCU) would be quite complex with the main issue being get_vma_name() using callbacks which might not work correctly with a stable vma copy, requiring original (unstable) vma - see special_mapping_name() for example. When per-vma lock acquisition fails, we take the mmap_lock for reading, lock the vma, release the mmap_lock and continue. This fallback to mmap read lock guarantees the reader to make forward progress even during lock contention. This will interfere with the writer but for a very short time while we are acquiring the per-vma lock and only when there was contention on the vma reader is interested in. We shouldn't see a repeated fallback to mmap read locks in practice, as this require a very unlikely series of lock contentions (for instance due to repeated vma split operations). However even if this did somehow happen, we would still progress. One case requiring special handling is when a vma changes between the time it was found and the time it got locked. A problematic case would be if a vma got shrunk so that its vm_start moved higher in the address space and a new vma was installed at the beginning: reader found: |--------VMA A--------| VMA is modified: |-VMA B-|----VMA A----| reader locks modified VMA A reader reports VMA A: | gap |----VMA A----| This would result in reporting a gap in the address space that does not exist. To prevent this we retry the lookup after locking the vma, however we do that only when we identify a gap and detect that the address space was changed after we found the vma. This change is designed to reduce mmap_lock contention and prevent a process reading /proc/pid/maps files (often a low priority task, such as monitoring/data collection services) from blocking address space updates. Note that this change has a userspace visible disadvantage: it allows for sub-page data tearing as opposed to the previous mechanism where data tearing could happen only between pages of generated output data. Since current userspace considers data tearing between pages to be acceptable, we assume is will be able to handle sub-page data tearing as well.

mm: move mmap/vma locking logic into specific files
Currently the VMA and mmap locking logic is entangled in two of the most overwrought files in mm - include/linux/mm.h and mm/memory.c. Separate this logic out so we can more easily make changes and create an appropriate MAINTAINERS entry that spans only the logic relating to locking. This should have no functional change. Care is taken to avoid dependency loops, we must regrettably keep release_fault_lock() and assert_fault_locked() in mm.h as a result due to the dependence on the vm_fault type. Additionally we must declare rcuwait_wake_up() manually to avoid a dependency cycle on linux/rcuwait.h. Additionally move the nommu implementatino of lock_mm_and_find_vma() to mmap_lock.c so everything lock-related is in one place.

mm: mmap_lock: optimize mmap_lock tracepoints
We are starting to deploy mmap_lock tracepoint monitoring across our fleet and the early results showed that these tracepoints are consuming significant amount of CPUs in kernfs_path_from_node when enabled. It seems like the kernel is trying to resolve the cgroup path in the fast path of the locking code path when the tracepoints are enabled. In addition for some application their metrics are regressing when monitoring is enabled. The cgroup path resolution can be slow and should not be done in the fast path. Most userspace tools, like bpftrace, provides functionality to get the cgroup path from cgroup id, so let's just trace the cgroup id and the users can use better tools to get the path in the slow path.

mm: mmap_lock: use local locks instead of disabling preemption
mmap_lock will explicitly disable/enable preemption upon manipulating its
local CPU variables. This is to be expected, but in this case, it doesn't
play well with PREEMPT_RT. The preemption disabled code section also
takes a spin-lock. Spin-locks in RT systems will try to schedule, which
is exactly what we're trying to avoid.
To mitigate this, convert the explicit preemption handling to local_locks.
Which are RT aware, and will disable migration instead of preemption when
PREEMPT_RT=y.
The faulty call trace looks like the following:
__mmap_lock_do_trace_*()
preempt_disable()
get_mm_memcg_path()
cgroup_path()
kernfs_path_from_node()
spin_lock_irqsave() /* Scheduling while atomic! */

mm: mmap_lock: add tracepoints around lock acquisition
The goal of these tracepoints is to be able to debug lock contention issues. This lock is acquired on most (all?) mmap / munmap / page fault operations, so a multi-threaded process which does a lot of these can experience significant contention. We trace just before we start acquisition, when the acquisition returns (whether it succeeded or not), and when the lock is released (or downgraded). The events are broken out by lock type (read / write). The events are also broken out by memcg path. For container-based workloads, users often think of several processes in a memcg as a single logical "task", so collecting statistics at this level is useful. The end goal is to get latency information. This isn't directly included in the trace events. Instead, users are expected to compute the time between "start locking" and "acquire returned", using e.g. synthetic events or BPF. The benefit we get from this is simpler code. Because we use tracepoint_enabled() to decide whether or not to trace, this patch has effectively no overhead unless tracepoints are enabled at runtime. If tracepoints are enabled, there is a performance impact, but how much depends on exactly what e.g. the BPF program does.
