617a814f14 ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are:
 
 "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich.  Adds
 consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
 functions.  This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
 
 "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang.  No functional changes - mode
 code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
 
 "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik.  No functional
 changes - code cleanups only.
 
 "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan.  A small fix and a little
 cleanup.
 
 "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao.  Code cleanups and
 simplifications and .text shrinkage.
 
 "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel Butt.  This
 is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
 
     $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
     kstack_1k 3
     kstack_2k 188
     kstack_4k 11391
     kstack_8k 243
     kstack_16k 0
 
 which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at all
 used 16k.  Useful for some system tuning things, but partivularly useful
 for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
 
 "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel Tikhomirov.
 Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
 
 "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin.  "3
 independent small optimizations of page counters".
 
 "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from David
 Hildenbrand.  Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes powerpc/8xx work
 correctly by design rather than by accident.
 
 "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.  Some
 folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible() unneeded.
 
 "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David Finkel.
 Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the cgroup/process
 peak-memory-use detector.
 
 "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes.
 Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation APIs.  With a
 view to better enable testing of the VMA functions, even from a
 userspace-only harness.
 
 "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki.  Fix issues in
 the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved performance.
 
 "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao.  Fill in
 some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.
 
 "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.  Code
 cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk()) resulting in
 the removal of follow_page().
 
 "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat Pham.  Some
 tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker.  Significant reductions in
 swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
 
 "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill Shutemov.
 Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
 
 "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu.  Implements mprotect on DAX
 PUDs.  This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied yet.
 
 "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha Kumar.
 Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple tree library
 code.
 
 "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt.  Move more
 cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.
 
 "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.  Adds
 various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are deprecated.
 
 "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from Chris Li.
 Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap allocation.

Merge tag 'parisc-for-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux

Pull parisc architecture updates from Helge Deller:

 - On parisc we now use the generic clockevent framework for timekeeping

 - Although there is no 64-bit glibc/userspace for parisc yet, for
   testing purposes one can run statically linked 64-bit binaries. This
   patchset contains two patches which fix 64-bit userspace which has
   been broken since kernel 4.19

 - Fix the userspace stack position and size when the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
   personality is enabled

 - On other architectures mmap(MAP_GROWSDOWN | MAP_STACK) creates a
   downward-growing stack. On parisc mmap(MAP_STACK) is now sufficient
   to create an upward-growing stack

f31b256994 parisc: Fix stack start for ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE personality
Fix the stack start address calculation for the parisc architecture in
setup_arg_pages() when address randomization is disabled. When the
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE process personality is disabled there is no need to add
additional space for the stack.
Note that this patch touches code inside an #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP hunk,
which is why only the parisc architecture is affected since it's the
only Linux architecture where the stack grows upwards.

Without this patch you will find the stack in the middle of some
mapped libaries and suddenly limited to 6MB instead of 8MB:

of the process memory map:

d61f0d5968 mm: move vma_shrink(), vma_expand() to internal header
The vma_shrink() and vma_expand() functions are internal VMA manipulation
functions which we ought to abstract for use outside of memory management
code.

To achieve this, we replace shift_arg_pages() in fs/exec.c with an
invocation of a new relocate_vma_down() function implemented in mm/mmap.c,
which enables us to also move move_page_tables() and vma_iter_prev_range()

The purpose of doing this is to isolate key VMA manipulation functions in
order that we can both abstract them and later render them easily
testable.

0d196e7589 exec: don't WARN for racy path_noexec check
Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac39 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2 ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")

Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.

However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.

One can note there is more to perm-checking whether execve is allowed
and none of the conditions are guaranteed to still hold after they were
tested for.

Additionally this does not validate whether the code path did any perm
checking to begin with -- it will pass if the inode happens to be
regular.

Keep the redundant path_noexec() check even though it's mindless
nonsense checking for guarantee that isn't given so drop the WARN.

Reword the commentary and do small tidy ups while here.

f50733b45d exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage
When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.

For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:

---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug  7 13:16 target

to set-id and non-executable:

---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug  7 13:16 target

it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.

While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug  7 13:16 target

becomes:

-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug  7 13:16 target

But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".

Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal.

084ebf7ca8 execve: Keep bprm->argmin behind CONFIG_MMU
When argmin was added in commit 655c16a8ce ("exec: separate
MM_ANONPAGES and RLIMIT_STACK accounting"), it was intended only for
validating stack limits on CONFIG_MMU[1]. All checking for reaching the
limit (argmin) is wrapped in CONFIG_MMU ifdef checks, though setting
argmin was not. That argmin is only supposed to be used under CONFIG_MMU
was rediscovered recently[2], and I don't want to trip over this again.

Move argmin's declaration into the existing CONFIG_MMU area, and add
helpers functions so the MMU tests can be consolidated.

2a010c4128 fs: don't block i_writecount during exec
Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for
executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might
cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some
notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with
a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this.

Here are some of the notes that I took:

(1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues
    such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable,
    then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then
    calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because
    another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called
    fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this.

(2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a
    running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all
    prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism.

    I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was
    the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]).

    An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a
    _privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used
    to take over the host.

    (It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with
     unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.)

    The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when
    starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example,
    when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into
    executing itself.

    This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the
    container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary
    itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this
    could be replaced with an executable script specifying the
    interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe.

    As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the
    target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will
    point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed
    to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the
    runC binary on the host.

    However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now,
    one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't.

    To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways:
    * Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and
      then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through
      /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a
      separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary
      exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used
      to attack other containers or the host itself.
    * Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with
      the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an
      initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe
      for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call
      exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off
      to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing
      (which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting
      that binary.

    To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such
    attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder.
    That's all.

    The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy
    of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to
    containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC)
    was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create()
    system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file,
    which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed,
    in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk
    binary.

    Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the
    host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and
    not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host
    binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to
    this will also fail.

    The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these
    attacks.

(3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an
    exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an
    additional hook but that should be about it.

(4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time
    ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of
    the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries
    aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries.

(5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means:
    (5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing
          overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years.
    (5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec
          completed treating it on a par with shared libraries.

Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not
completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's
actually the case and not guess.

3a9e567ca4 mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl
Patch series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl", v4.

commit 3c6f33b727 ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve().  However, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task.  The first
patch fixes the issue.

The second patch refactors to prepare for the third patch.  The third
patch extends the selftests of ksm to verfity the deduplication really
happens after fork/exec inherits ths KSM setting.


This patch (of 3):

commit 3c6f33b727 ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve().  Howerver, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task.

To fix it, allocate and add the mm_slot to ksm_mm_head in __bprm_mm_init()
when the mm has MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag.

c82389947d tracing: Add sched_prepare_exec tracepoint
Add "sched_prepare_exec" tracepoint, which is run right after the point
of no return but before the current task assumes its new exec identity.

Unlike the tracepoint "sched_process_exec", the "sched_prepare_exec"
tracepoint runs before flushing the old exec, i.e. while the task still
has the original state (such as original MM), but when the new exec
either succeeds or crashes (but never returns to the original exec).

Being able to trace this event can be helpful in a number of use cases:

  * allowing tracing eBPF programs access to the original MM on exec,
    before current->mm is replaced;
  * counting exec in the original task (via perf event);
  * profiling flush time ("sched_prepare_exec" to "sched_process_exec").

Example of tracing output:

 $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
    <...>-379  [003] .....  179.626921: sched_prepare_exec: interp=/usr/bin/sshd filename=/usr/bin/sshd pid=379 comm=sshd

2aea94ac14 exec: Fix NOMMU linux_binprm::exec in transfer_args_to_stack()
In NOMMU kernel the value of linux_binprm::p is the offset inside the
temporary program arguments array maintained in separate pages in the
linux_binprm::page. linux_binprm::exec being a copy of linux_binprm::p
thus must be adjusted when that array is copied to the user stack.
Without that adjustment the value passed by the NOMMU kernel to the ELF
program in the AT_EXECFN entry of the aux array doesn't make any sense
and it may break programs that try to access memory pointed to by that
entry.

Adjust linux_binprm::exec before the successful return from the
transfer_args_to_stack().

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
   not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
   had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
   need support for this.

   This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
   flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
   thread.

   In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
   CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.

   A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
   refers to a thread-group leader:

    (1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
        when the task has exited.

        For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
        thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
        leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
        thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
        thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
        thread-group exits.

        For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
        thread exits.

    (2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
        generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.

        Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
        generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.

        The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
        of the pidfd.

        Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
        pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
        pidfd_send_signal():

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
           Send a thread-specific signal.

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
           Send a thread-group directed signal.

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
           Send a process-group directed signal.

        The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
        used for this scope.

        For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
        provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
        similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
        used as a process group leader.

 - Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
   filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
   simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
   Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
   to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
   inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.

   Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
   it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
   that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
   A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
   file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.

   Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
   struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
   times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
   inode.

   The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
   exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
   complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
   deleted when the last pidfd is closed.

   We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
   that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
   pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
   selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.

   The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
   infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
   path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
   an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
   used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().

   The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
   stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
   new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
   If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
   newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
   same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.

 - Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
   i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
   now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
   userspace with EPOLLHUP.

 - Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
   of the confusing EBADF.

 - Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

64bef697d3 pidfd: implement PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open()
With this flag:

	- pidfd_open() doesn't require that the target task must be
	  a thread-group leader

	- pidfd_poll() succeeds when the task exits and becomes a
	  zombie (iow, passes exit_notify()), even if it is a leader
	  and thread-group is not empty.

	  This means that the behaviour of pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD,
	  pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined if it races with
	  exec() from its sub-thread; pidfd_poll() can succeed or not
	  depending on whether pidfd_task_exited() is called before
	  or after exchange_tids().

	  Perhaps we can improve this behaviour later, pidfd_poll()
	  can probably take sig->group_exec_task into account. But
	  this doesn't really differ from the case when the leader
	  exits before other threads (so pidfd_poll() succeeds) and
	  then another thread execs and pidfd_poll() will block again.

thread_group_exited() is no longer used, perhaps it can die.

3eab830189 uselib: remove use of __FMODE_EXEC
Jann Horn points out that uselib() really shouldn't trigger the new
FMODE_EXEC logic introduced by commit 4759ff71f2 ("exec: __FMODE_EXEC
instead of in_execve for LSMs").

In fact, it shouldn't even have ever triggered the old pre-existing
logic for __FMODE_EXEC (like the NFS code that makes executables not
need read permissions).  Unlike a real execve(), that can work even with
files that are purely executable by the user (not readable), uselib()
has that MAY_READ requirement becasue it's really just a convenience
wrapper around mmap() for legacy shared libraries.

The whole FMODE_EXEC bit was originally introduced by commit
b500531e6f ("[PATCH] Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag"), primarily to
give ETXTBUSY error returns for distributed filesystems.

It has since grown a few other warts (like that NFS thing), but there
really isn't any reason to use it for uselib(), and now that we are
trying to use it to replace the horrid 'tsk->in_execve' flag, it's
actively wrong.

Of course, as Jann Horn also points out, nobody should be enabling
CONFIG_USELIB in the first place in this day and age, but that's a
different discussion entirely.

978ffcbf00 execve: open the executable file before doing anything else
No point in allocating a new mm, counting arguments and environment
variables etc if we're just going to return ENOENT.

This patch does expose the fact that 'do_filp_open()' that execve() uses
is still unnecessarily expensive in the failure case, because it
allocates the 'struct file *' early, even if the path lookup (which is
heavily optimized) fails.

So that remains an unnecessary cost in the "no such executable" case,
but it's a separate issue.  Regardless, I do not want to do _both_ a
filename_lookup() and a later do_filp_open() like the origin patch by
Josh Triplett did in [1].

a05aea98d4 sysctl-6.8-rc1
To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
 penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
 final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
 work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
 support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
 the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
 The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
 are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
 no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
 
 Let us recap the purpose of this work:
 
   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
     memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
     out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
 
 Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
 work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
 
 Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
 for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
 to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
 removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
 has had no time to help at all.

9d5b947535 fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

b1e5a3dee2 mm/mremap: allow moves within the same VMA for stack moves
For the stack move happening in shift_arg_pages(), the move is happening
within the same VMA which spans the old and new ranges.

In case the aligned address happens to fall within that VMA, allow such
moves and don't abort the mremap alignment optimization.

In the regular non-stack mremap case, we cannot allow any such moves as
will end up destroying some part of the mapping (either the source of the
move, or part of the existing mapping).  So just avoid it for stack moves.

a7031f1452 kernel/fork: stop playing lockless games for exe_file replacement
xchg originated in 6e399cd144 ("prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file
serialization").  While the commit message does not explain *why* the
change, I found the original submission [1] which ultimately claims it
cleans things up by removing dependency of exe_file on the semaphore.

However, fe69d560b5 ("kernel/fork: always deny write access to current
MM exe_file") added a semaphore up/down cycle to synchronize the state of
exe_file against fork, defeating the point of the original change.

This is on top of semaphore trips already present both in the replacing
function and prctl (the only consumer).

Normally replacing exe_file does not happen for busy processes, thus
write-locking is not an impediment to performance in the intended use
case.  If someone keeps invoking the routine for a busy processes they are
trying to play dirty and that's another reason to avoid any trickery.

As such I think the atomic here only adds complexity for no benefit.

Just write-lock around the replacement.

I also note that replacement races against the mapping check loop as
nothing synchronizes actual assignment with with said checks but I am not
addressing it in this patch.  (Is the loop of any use to begin with?)

9471f1f2f5 Merge branch 'expand-stack'
This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.

It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.

And it worked fine.  We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.

That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken.  Oops.

It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful.  We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:

 - the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
   fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
   something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
   of twisty little passages, all alike.

 - the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
   There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
   VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
   unhappy if you get it wrong.

 - and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
   expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
   we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
   memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
   stack as a special case.

None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times.  And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.

So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.

Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa.  So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.

And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.

That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern.  Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.

So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion.  The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".

The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.

And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).

In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().

Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else.  Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.

Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.

Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch.  That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

8d7071af89 mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held
This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.

For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks.  Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.

It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma.  This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.

As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid.  So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

f313c51d26 execve: expand new process stack manually ahead of time
This is a small step towards a model where GUP itself would not expand
the stack, and any user that needs GUP to not look up existing mappings,
but actually expand on them, would have to do so manually before-hand,
and with the mm lock held for writing.

It turns out that execve() already did almost exactly that, except it
didn't take the mm lock at all (it's single-threaded so no locking
technically needed, but it could cause lockdep errors).  And it only did
it for the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, since in that case GUP has
obviously never expanded the stack downwards.

So just make that CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case do the right thing with
locking, and enable it generally.  This will eventually help GUP, and in
the meantime avoids a special case and the lockdep issue.

Make calls to extend_vma() and find_extend_vma() fail if the write lock
is required.

To avoid making this a flag-day event, this still allows the old
read-locking case for the trivial situations, and passes in a flag to
say "is it write-locked".  That way write-lockers can say "yes, I'm
being careful", and legacy users will continue to work in all the common
cases until they have been fully converted to the new world order.

7b8c9d7bb4 fsnotify: move fsnotify_open() hook into do_dentry_open()
fsnotify_open() hook is called only from high level system calls
context and not called for the very many helpers to open files.

This may makes sense for many of the special file open cases, but it is
inconsistent with fsnotify_close() hook that is called for every last
fput() of on a file object with FMODE_OPENED.

As a result, it is possible to observe ACCESS, MODIFY and CLOSE events
without ever observing an OPEN event.

Fix this inconsistency by replacing all the fsnotify_open() hooks with
a single hook inside do_dentry_open().

If there are special cases that would like to opt-out of the possible
overhead of fsnotify() call in fsnotify_open(), they would probably also
want to avoid the overhead of fsnotify() call in the rest of the fsnotify
hooks, so they should be opening that file with the __FMODE_NONOTIFY flag.

However, in the majority of those cases, the s_fsnotify_connectors
optimization in fsnotify_parent() would be sufficient to avoid the
overhead of fsnotify() call anyway.

ca5e863233 mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote()
The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the
vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the
VMA directly. In particular:-

- __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply
  remove it.

- __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original
  lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the
  code.

We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the
mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote().

As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the
VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should
the VMA lookup fail.

This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas
parameter altogether.

d579c468d7 tracing updates for 6.4:
- User events are finally ready!
   After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked
   down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user
   space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user
   space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this
   patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if
   something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell
   the kernel about these events, which will show up in the
   /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be
    enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell
   the application to start writing to the kernel.
   See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
 
 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but
   instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF)
   can register their own trampoline for performance reasons.
 
 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than
   kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on
   ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed
   as dynamic events.
 
 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
 
 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line
   by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that
   have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the
   data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print.
   Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
 
 - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that
   was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for
   debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by
   a bpf program or live patching.
 
 - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of
   the events. It's easier to read by humans.
 
 - Some minor fixes and clean ups.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - User events are finally ready!

   After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally
   locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work
   with user space only tracing.

   This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but
   that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where
   the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
   listening to the trace.

   There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
   which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
   directory, where it can be enabled.

   When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
   application to start writing to the kernel.

 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines.

   Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
   the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
   own trampoline for performance reasons.

 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
   than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
   kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
   will be exposed as dynamic events.

 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.

 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
   line by line instead of all at once.

   There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
   that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
