Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge
window".
Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing
more testing. I've been doing testing before and this was also tested
by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never
reproduced before.
I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result. I dropped it because of
implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I
think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough
already.
Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit
wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after
moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more
sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the
event_wait_completion in D state. So then I added the second patch to
be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late
during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state. The
same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it
makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's
run under WARN_ON_ONCE.
While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I
looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to
stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on
userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute
userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against
userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before
list_add(fcs). This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area
also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new.
The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after
free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if
CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y. Very hard to reproduce though and probably
impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled.
This patch (of 3):
I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not
easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce.

In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking
mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully
consistent and it is null terminated list as expected. So this has to
be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the
vma list was being modified by another CPU.
When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to
SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..).
The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still
other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it
has to wait the even to be received by the manager). So this is an use
after free that was happening for all processes.
One more implementation problem aside from the race condition:
userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking
the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks.
One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be
delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager
doesn't read the event.
The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can
check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer:
if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) {
[..]
} else {
return -ENOSPC;
}
It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

__do_fault assumes vmf->page has been initialized and is valid if
VM_FAULT_NOPAGE is not returned by vma->vm_ops->fault(vma, vmf).
handle_userfault() in turn should return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE if it doesn't
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS or VM_FAULT_RETRY (the other two possibilities).
This VM_FAULT_NOPAGE case is only invoked when signal are pending and it
didn't matter for anonymous memory before. It only started to matter
since shmem was introduced. hugetlbfs also takes a different path and
doesn't exercise __do_fault.

git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

Patch series "userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add madvise() event for
MADV_REMOVE request".
These patches add notification of madvise(MADV_REMOVE) event to
non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor.
The first pacth renames EVENT_MADVDONTNEED to EVENT_REMOVE along with
relevant functions and structures. Using _REMOVE instead of
_MADVDONTNEED describes the event semantics more clearly and I hope it's
not too late for such change in the ABI.
This patch (of 3):
The UFFD_EVENT_MADVDONTNEED purpose is to notify uffd monitor about
removal of certain range from address space tracked by userfaultfd.
Hence, UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE seems to better reflect the operation
semantics. Respectively, 'madv_dn' field of uffd_msg is renamed to
'remove' and the madvise_userfault_dontneed callback is renamed to
userfaultfd_remove.

When the mm with uffd-ed vmas fork()-s the respective vmas notify their
uffds with the event which contains a descriptor with new uffd. This
new descriptor can then be used to get events from the child and
populate its mm with data. Note, that there can be different uffd-s
controlling different vmas within one mm, so first we should collect all
those uffds (and ctx-s) in a list and then notify them all one by one
but only once per fork().
The context is created at fork() time but the descriptor, file struct
and anon inode object is created at event read time. So some trickery
is added to the userfaultfd_ctx_read() to handle the ctx queues' locking
vs file creation.
Another thing worth noticing is that the task that fork()-s waits for
the uffd event to get processed WITHOUT the mmap sem.

With >=32 CPUs the userfaultfd selftest triggered a graceful but
unexpected SIGBUS because VM_FAULT_RETRY was returned by
handle_userfault() despite the UFFDIO_COPY wasn't completed.
This seems caused by rwsem waking the thread blocked in
handle_userfault() and we can't run up_read() before the wait_event
sequence is complete.
Keeping the wait_even sequence identical to the first one, would require
running userfaultfd_must_wait() again to know if the loop should be
repeated, and it would also require retaking the rwsem and revalidating
the whole vma status.
It seems simpler to wait the targeted wakeup so that if false wakeups
materialize we still wait for our specific wakeup event, unless of
course there are signals or the uffd was released.
Debug code collecting the stack trace of the wakeup showed this:

This always happens when the main userfault selftest thread is running
clone() while glibc runs either mprotect or mmap (both taking mmap_sem
down_write()) to allocate the thread stack of the background threads,
while locking/userfault threads already run at full throttle and are
susceptible to false wakeups that may cause handle_userfault() to return
before than expected (which results in graceful SIGBUS at the next
attempt).
This was reproduced only with >=32 CPUs because the loop to start the
thread where clone() is too quick with fewer CPUs, while with 32 CPUs
there's already significant activity on ~32 locking and userfault
threads when the last background threads are started with clone().
This >=32 CPUs SMP race condition is likely reproducible only with the
selftest because of the much heavier userfault load it generates if
compared to real apps.
We'll have to allow "one more" VM_FAULT_RETRY for the WP support and a
patch floating around that provides it also hidden this problem but in
reality only is successfully at hiding the problem.
False wakeups could still happen again the second time
handle_userfault() is invoked, even if it's a so rare race condition
that getting false wakeups twice in a row is impossible to reproduce.
This full fix is needed for correctness, the only alternative would be
to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY to be returned infinitely. With this fix the WP
support can stick to a strict "one more" VM_FAULT_RETRY logic (no need
of returning it infinite times to avoid the SIGBUS).

Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information
around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more
information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of
that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it
would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the
generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in
keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault
all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code:

userfaultfd_file_create() increments mm->mm_users; this means that the
memory won't be unmapped/freed if mm owner exits/execs, and UFFDIO_COPY
after that can populate the orphaned mm more.
Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use
mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that
atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to
actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't
need this, the caller must already have a reference.
The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have
more users.

The exit path will do some final updates to the VM of an exiting process
to inform others of the fact that the process is going away.
That happens, for example, for robust futex state cleanup, but also if
the parent has asked for a TID update when the process exits (we clear
the child tid field in user space).
However, at the time we do those final VM accesses, we've already
stopped accepting signals, so the usual "stop waiting for userfaults on
signal" code in fs/userfaultfd.c no longer works, and the process can
become an unkillable zombie waiting for something that will never
happen.
To solve this, just make handle_userfault() abort any user fault
handling if we're already in the exit path past the signal handling
state being dead (marked by PF_EXITING).
This VM special case is pretty ugly, and it is possible that we should
look at finalizing signals later (or move the VM final accesses
earlier). But in the meantime this is a fairly minimally intrusive fix.

It didn't look robust to call __wake_up_common with "nr == 1" when we
absolutely require wakeall semantics, but we've full control of what we
insert in the two waitqueue heads of the blocked userfaults. No
exclusive waitqueue risks to be inserted into those two waitqueue heads
so we can as well stick to "nr == 1" of the old code and we can rely
purely on the fact no waitqueue inserted in one of the two waitqueue
heads we must enforce as wakeall, has wait->flags WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE set.

This is only simple to achieve if the userfault is going to return to
userland (not to the kernel) because we can avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY
despite we temporarily released the mmap_sem. The fault would just be
retried by userland then. This is safe at least on x86 and powerpc (the
two archs with the syscall implemented so far).
Hint to verify for which archs this is safe: after handle_mm_fault
returns, no access to data structures protected by the mmap_sem must be
done by the fault code in arch/*/mm/fault.c until up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
is called.
This has two main benefits: signals can run with lower latency in
production (signals aren't blocked by userfaults and userfaults are
immediately repeated after signal processing) and gdb can then trivially
debug the threads blocked in this kind of userfaults coming directly from
userland.
On a side note: while gdb has a need to get signal processed, coredumps
always worked perfectly with userfaults, no matter if the userfault is
triggered by GUP a kernel copy_user or directly from userland.

UFFDIO_API was already forced before read/poll could work. This makes the
code more strict to force it also for all other ioctls.
All users would already have been required to call UFFDIO_API before
invoking other ioctls but this makes it more explicit.
This will ensure we can change all ioctls (all but UFFDIO_API/struct
uffdio_api) with a bump of uffdio_api.api.
There's no actual plan or need to change the API or the ioctl, the current
API already should cover fine even the non cooperative usage, but this is
just for the longer term future just in case.

Solve in-kernel the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and
userfaultfd_read if they are run on different threads simultaneously.
Until now qemu solved the race in userland: the race was explicitly
and intentionally left for userland to solve. However we can also
solve it in kernel.
Requiring all users to solve this race if they use two threads (one
for the background transfer and one for the userfault reads) isn't
very attractive from an API prospective, furthermore this allows to
remove a whole bunch of mutex and bitmap code from qemu, making it
faster. The cost of __get_user_pages_fast should be insignificant
considering it scales perfectly and the pagetables are already hot in
the CPU cache, compared to the overhead in userland to maintain those
structures.
Applying this patch is backwards compatible with respect to the
userfaultfd userland API, however reverting this change wouldn't be
backwards compatible anymore.
Without this patch qemu in the background transfer thread, has to read
the old state, and do UFFDIO_WAKE if old_state is missing but it
become REQUESTED by the time it tries to set it to RECEIVED (signaling
the other side received an userfault).
vcpu background_thr userfault_thr
----- ----- -----
vcpu0 handle_mm_fault()
postcopy_place_page
read old_state -> MISSING
UFFDIO_COPY 0x7fb76a139000 (no wakeup, still pending)
vcpu0 fault at 0x7fb76a139000 enters handle_userfault
poll() is kicked
poll() -> POLLIN
read() -> 0x7fb76a139000
postcopy_pmi_change_state(MISSING, REQUESTED) -> REQUESTED
tmp_state = postcopy_pmi_change_state(old_state, RECEIVED) -> REQUESTED
/* check that no userfault raced with UFFDIO_COPY */
if (old_state == MISSING && tmp_state == REQUESTED)
UFFDIO_WAKE from background thread
And a second case where a UFFDIO_WAKE would be needed is in the userfault thread:
vcpu background_thr userfault_thr
----- ----- -----
vcpu0 handle_mm_fault()
postcopy_place_page
read old_state -> MISSING
UFFDIO_COPY 0x7fb76a139000 (no wakeup, still pending)
tmp_state = postcopy_pmi_change_state(old_state, RECEIVED) -> RECEIVED
vcpu0 fault at 0x7fb76a139000 enters handle_userfault
poll() is kicked
poll() -> POLLIN
read() -> 0x7fb76a139000
if (postcopy_pmi_change_state(MISSING, REQUESTED) == RECEIVED)
UFFDIO_WAKE from userfault thread
This patch removes the need of both UFFDIO_WAKE and of the associated
per-page tristate as well.

This is an optimization but it's a userland visible one and it affects
the API.
The downside of this optimization is that if you call poll() and you
get POLLIN, read(ufd) may still return -EAGAIN. The blocked userfault
may be waken by a different thread, before read(ufd) comes
around. This in short means that poll() isn't really usable if the
userfaultfd is opened in blocking mode.
userfaults won't wait in "pending" state to be read anymore and any
UFFDIO_WAKE or similar operations that has the objective of waking
userfaults after their resolution, will wake all blocked userfaults
for the resolved range, including those that haven't been read() by
userland yet.
The behavior of poll() becomes not standard, but this obviates the
need of "spurious" UFFDIO_WAKE and it lets the userland threads to
restart immediately without requiring an UFFDIO_WAKE. This is even
more significant in case of repeated faults on the same address from
multiple threads.
This optimization is justified by the measurement that the number of
spurious UFFDIO_WAKE accounts for 5% and 10% of the total
userfaults for heavy workloads, so it's worth optimizing those away.

userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset. There's
currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
the fault to be repeated). Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
kernel code. The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
that).
Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
extensions too and it looks cleaner as well. Once we get additional
fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.
The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.
The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
uffdio_api structure. If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
required.

This is (seems to be) the minimal thing that is required to unblock
standard uffd usage from the non-cooperative one. Now more bits can be
added to the features field indicating e.g. UFFD_FEATURE_FORK and others
needed for the latter use-case.

Once an userfaultfd has been created and certain region of the process
virtual address space have been registered into it, the thread responsible
for doing the memory externalization can manage the page faults in
userland by talking to the kernel using the userfaultfd protocol.
poll() can be used to know when there are new pending userfaults to be
read (POLLIN).
