Aneesh has reported that PPC triggers the following warning when
excercising DAX code:
IP set_pte_at+0x3c/0x190
LR insert_pfn+0x208/0x280
Call Trace:
insert_pfn+0x68/0x280
dax_iomap_pte_fault.isra.7+0x734/0xa40
__xfs_filemap_fault+0x280/0x2d0
do_wp_page+0x48c/0xa40
__handle_mm_fault+0x8d0/0x1fd0
handle_mm_fault+0x140/0x250
__do_page_fault+0x300/0xd60
handle_page_fault+0x18
Now that is WARN_ON in set_pte_at which is
VM_WARN_ON(pte_hw_valid(*ptep) && !pte_protnone(*ptep));
The problem is that on some architectures set_pte_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.
Use ptep_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PTE.

LTP testcase mtest06 [1] can trigger a crash on s390x running 5.0.0-rc8.
This is a stress test, where one thread mmaps/writes/munmaps memory area

page_table_free() is called with NULL mm parameter, but because "0" is a
valid address on s390 (see S390_lowcore), it keeps going until it
eventually crashes in lockdep's lock_acquire. This crash is
reproducible at least since 4.14.
Problem is that "vmf->vma" used in do_fault() can become stale. Because
mmap_sem may be released, other threads can come in, call munmap() and
cause "vma" be returned to kmem cache, and get zeroed/re-initialized and
re-used:
handle_mm_fault |
__handle_mm_fault |
do_fault |
vma = vmf->vma |
do_read_fault |
__do_fault |
vma->vm_ops->fault(vmf); |
mmap_sem is released |
|
| do_munmap()
| remove_vma_list()
| remove_vma()
| vm_area_free()
| # vma is released
| ...
| # same vma is allocated
| # from kmem cache
| do_mmap()
| vm_area_alloc()
| memset(vma, 0, ...)
|
pte_free(vma->vm_mm, ...); |
page_table_free |
spin_lock_bh(&mm->context.lock);|
<crash> |
Cache mm_struct to avoid using potentially stale "vma".

Many kernel-doc comments in mm/ have the return value descriptions
either misformatted or omitted at all which makes kernel-doc script
unhappy:
$ make V=1 htmldocs
...
./mm/util.c:36: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup
./mm/util.c:41: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup'
./mm/util.c:57: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup_const

./mm/util.c:75: info: Scanning doc for kstrndup
./mm/util.c:83: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrndup'
...
Fixing the formatting and adding the missing return value descriptions
eliminates ~100 such warnings.

Patch series "NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect", v5.
We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need to
make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in
commit bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to
handle nest MMU hang") for such updates. This patch series does that.
This patch (of 5):
Some architectures may want to call flush_tlb_range from these helpers.

It's never appropriate to map a page allocated by SLAB into userspace.
A buggy device driver might try this, or an attacker might be able to
find a way to make it happen.
Christoph said:
: Let's just fail the code. Currently this may work with SLUB. But SLAB
: and SLOB overlay fields with mapcount. So you would have a corrupted page
: struct if you mapped a slab page to user space.

Add an optimization for KSM pages almost in the same way that we have
for ordinary anonymous pages. If there is a write fault in a page,
which is mapped to an only pte, and it is not related to swap cache; the
page may be reused without copying its content.
[ Note that we do not consider PageSwapCache() pages at least for now,
since we don't want to complicate __get_ksm_page(), which has nice
optimization based on this (for the migration case). Currenly it is
spinning on PageSwapCache() pages, waiting for when they have
unfreezed counters (i.e., for the migration finish). But we don't want
to make it also spinning on swap cache pages, which we try to reuse,
since there is not a very high probability to reuse them. So, for now
we do not consider PageSwapCache() pages at all. ]
So in reuse_ksm_page() we check for 1) PageSwapCache() and 2)
page_stable_node(), to skip a page, which KSM is currently trying to
link to stable tree. Then we do page_ref_freeze() to prohibit KSM to
merge one more page into the page, we are reusing. After that, nobody
can refer to the reusing page: KSM skips !PageSwapCache() pages with
zero refcount; and the protection against of all other participants is
the same as for reused ordinary anon pages pte lock, page lock and
mmap_sem.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

He adds
"task1 is waiting for the PageWriteback bit of the page that task2 has
collected in mpd->io_submit->io_bio, and tasks2 is waiting for the
LOCKED bit the page which tasks1 has locked"
More precisely task1 is handling a page fault and it has a page locked
while it charges a new page table to a memcg. That in turn hits a
memory limit reclaim and the memcg reclaim for legacy controller is
waiting on the writeback but that is never going to finish because the
writeback itself is waiting for the page locked in the #PF path. So
this is essentially ABBA deadlock:
lock_page(A)
SetPageWriteback(A)
unlock_page(A)
lock_page(B)
lock_page(B)
pte_alloc_pne
shrink_page_list
wait_on_page_writeback(A)
SetPageWriteback(B)
unlock_page(B)
# flush A, B to clear the writeback
This accumulating of more pages to flush is used by several filesystems
to generate a more optimal IO patterns.
Waiting for the writeback in legacy memcg controller is a workaround for
pre-mature OOM killer invocations because there is no dirty IO
throttling available for the controller. There is no easy way around
that unfortunately. Therefore fix this specific issue by pre-allocating
the page table outside of the page lock. We have that handy
infrastructure for that already so simply reuse the fault-around pattern
which already does this.
There are probably other hidden __GFP_ACCOUNT | GFP_KERNEL allocations
from under a fs page locked but they should be really rare. I am not
aware of a better solution unfortunately.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.
// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
range is eligible for THP. There are usecases that would like to know
that
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
: but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
: issue.
The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp. nh flags and
confronting the state with the global setting. Except that there is also
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture. So the final logic is
not trivial. Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
VMA as well. In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
knob.
Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
/proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma. Reuse
transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose. The original
implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
__transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
__show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
line due to include dependency issues).

In DAX mode a write pagefault can race with write(2) in the following
way:
CPU0 CPU1
write fault for mapped zero page (hole)
dax_iomap_rw()
iomap_apply()
xfs_file_iomap_begin()
- allocates blocks
dax_iomap_actor()
invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
- invalidates radix tree entries in given range
dax_iomap_pte_fault()
grab_mapping_entry()
- no entry found, creates empty
...
xfs_file_iomap_begin()
- finds already allocated block
...
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
- WARNs and does nothing because there
is still zero page mapped in PTE
unmap_mapping_pages()
This race results in WARN_ON from insert_pfn() and is occasionally
triggered by fstest generic/344. Note that the race is otherwise
harmless as before write(2) on CPU0 is finished, we will invalidate page
tables properly and thus user of mmap will see modified data from
write(2) from that point on. So just restrict the warning only to the
case when the PFN in PTE is not zero page.

If we take a page fault while the pte is cleared, the application can get
SIGBUS. One such case is with remap_pfn_range without a backing

It is common for architectures with hugepage support to require only a
single TLB invalidation operation per hugepage during unmap(), rather than
iterating through the mapping at a PAGE_SIZE increment. Currently,
however, the level in the page table where the unmap() operation occurs
is not stored in the mmu_gather structure, therefore forcing
architectures to issue additional TLB invalidation operations or to give
up and over-invalidate by e.g. invalidating the entire TLB.
Ideally, we could add an interval rbtree to the mmu_gather structure,
which would allow us to associate the correct mapping granule with the
various sub-mappings within the range being invalidated. However, this
is costly in terms of book-keeping and memory management, so instead we
approximate by keeping track of the page table levels that are cleared
and provide a means to query the smallest granule required for invalidation.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.
It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.
This patch was inspired by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.
That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b02e9 ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type. As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.
The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.
vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

The generic tlb_end_vma does not call invalidate_range mmu notifier, and
it resets resets the mmu_gather range, which means the notifier won't be
called on part of the range in case of an unmap that spans multiple
vmas.
ARM64 seems to be the only arch I could see that has notifiers and uses
the generic tlb_end_vma. I have not actually tested it.
[ Catalin and Will point out that ARM64 currently only uses the
notifiers for KVM, which doesn't use the ->invalidate_range()
callback right now, so it's a bug, but one that happens to
not affect them. So not necessary for stable. - Linus ]

Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().
This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
__p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.
But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
(optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.
NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
be able to use the generic code again.

now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]

There was a bug in Linux that could cause madvise (and mprotect?) system
calls to return to userspace without the TLB having been flushed for all
the pages involved.
This could happen when multiple threads of a process made simultaneous
madvise and/or mprotect calls.
This was noticed in the summer of 2017, at which time two solutions
were created:
56236a59556c ("mm: refactor TLB gathering API")
99baac21e458 ("mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem")
and
4647706ebeee ("mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range")
We need only one of these solutions, and the former appears to be a
little more efficient than the latter, so revert that one.
This reverts 4647706ebeee6e50 ("mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by
zap_page_range")

Commit 3812c8c8f395 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") has changed the ENOMEM semantic of memcg charges.
Rather than invoking the oom killer from the charging context it delays
the oom killer to the page fault path (pagefault_out_of_memory). This
in turn means that many users (e.g. slab or g-u-p) will get ENOMEM when
the corresponding memcg hits the hard limit and the memcg is is OOM.
This is behavior is inconsistent with !memcg case where the oom killer
is invoked from the allocation context and the allocator keeps retrying
until it succeeds.
The difference in the behavior is user visible. mmap(MAP_POPULATE)
might result in not fully populated ranges while the mmap return code
doesn't tell that to the userspace. Random syscalls might fail with
ENOMEM etc.
The primary motivation of the different memcg oom semantic was the
deadlock avoidance. Things have changed since then, though. We have an
async oom teardown by the oom reaper now and so we do not have to rely
on the victim to tear down its memory anymore. Therefore we can return
to the original semantic as long as the memcg oom killer is not handed
over to the users space.
There is still one thing to be careful about here though. If the oom
killer is not able to make any forward progress - e.g. because there is
no eligible task to kill - then we have to bail out of the charge path
to prevent from same class of deadlocks. We have basically two options
here. Either we fail the charge with ENOMEM or force the charge and
allow overcharge. The first option has been considered more harmful
than useful because rare inconsistencies in the ENOMEM behavior is hard
to test for and error prone. Basically the same reason why the page
allocator doesn't fail allocations under such conditions. The later
might allow runaways but those should be really unlikely unless somebody
misconfigures the system. E.g. allowing to migrate tasks away from the
memcg to a different unlimited memcg with move_charge_at_immigrate
disabled.

Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when
copying huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 4M. But on
a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC
(last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each
core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
If the cache contention is heavy when copying the huge page, and we copy
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing copying the
end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after copying the huge page.
In c79b57e462b5d ("mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing
huge page"), to keep the cache lines of the target subpage hot, the
order to clear the subpages in the huge page in clear_huge_page() is
changed to clearing the subpage which is furthest from the target
subpage firstly, and the target subpage last. The similar order
changing helps huge page copying too. That is implemented in this
patch. Because we have put the order algorithm into a separate
function, the implementation is quite simple.
The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some
workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance
benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on
transparent huge page.
With this patch, the throughput increases ~16.6% in vm-scalability
anon-cow-seq test case with 36 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case set
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled to be always, mmap() a big
anonymous memory area and populate it, then forked 36 child processes,
each writes to the anonymous memory area from the begin to the end, so

Patch series "mm, huge page: Copy target sub-page last when copy huge
page", v2.
Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when
copying huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 4M. But on
a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC
(last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each
core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
If the cache contention is heavy when copying the huge page, and we copy
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing copying the
end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after copying the huge page.
In c79b57e462b5d ("mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing
huge page"), to keep the cache lines of the target subpage hot, the
order to clear the subpages in the huge page in clear_huge_page() is
changed to clearing the subpage which is furthest from the target
subpage firstly, and the target subpage last. The similar order
changing helps huge page copying too. That is implemented in this
patchset.
The patchset is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some
workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance
benefit of the patchset, we have tested it with vm-scalability run on
transparent huge page.
With this patchset, the throughput increases ~16.6% in vm-scalability
anon-cow-seq test case with 36 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case set
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled to be always, mmap() a big
anonymous memory area and populate it, then forked 36 child processes,
each writes to the anonymous memory area from the begin to the end, so
cause copy on write. For each child process, other child processes
could be seen as other workloads which generate heavy cache pressure.
At the same time, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.63 to
0.78, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~7.2%.
This patch (of 4):
In c79b57e462b5d ("mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing
huge page"), to keep the cache lines of the target subpage hot, the
order to clear the subpages in the huge page in clear_huge_page() is
changed to clearing the subpage which is furthest from the target
subpage firstly, and the target subpage last. This optimization could
be applied to copying huge page too with the same order algorithm. To
avoid code duplication and reduce maintenance overhead, in this patch,
the order algorithm is moved out of clear_huge_page() into a separate
function: process_huge_page(). So that we can use it for copying huge
page too.
This will change the direct calls to clear_user_highpage() into the
indirect calls. But with the proper inline support of the compilers,
the indirect call will be optimized to be the direct call. Our tests
show no performance change with the patch.
This patch is a code cleanup without functionality change.

Since commit eca56ff906bd ("mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident
memory accounting"), MM_SHMEMPAGES is added to separate the shmem
accounting from regular files. So, all shmem pages should be accounted
to MM_SHMEMPAGES instead of MM_FILEPAGES.
And, normal 4K shmem pages have been accounted to MM_SHMEMPAGES, so
shmem thp pages should be not treated differently. Account them to
MM_SHMEMPAGES via mm_counter_file() since shmem pages are swap backed to
keep consistent with normal 4K shmem pages.
This will not change the rss counter of processes since shmem pages are
still a part of it.
The /proc/pid/status and /proc/pid/statm counters will however be more
accurate wrt shmem usage, as originally intended. And as eca56ff906bd
("mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting") mentioned,
oom also could report more accurate "shmem-rss".

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/
VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map. The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.
Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.
DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().
This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

Delete the old VM_BUG_ON_VMA() from zap_pmd_range(), which asserted
that mmap_sem must be held when splitting an "anonymous" vma there.
Whether that's still strictly true nowadays is not entirely clear,
but the danger of sometimes crashing on the BUG is now fairly clear.
Even with the new stricter rules for anonymous vma marking, the
condition it checks for can possible trigger. Commit 44960f2a7b63
("staging: ashmem: Fix SIGBUS crash when traversing mmaped ashmem
pages") is good, and originally I thought it was safe from that
VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), because the /dev/ashmem fd exposed to the user is
disconnected from the vm_file in the vma, and madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE)
insists on VM_SHARED.
But after I read John's earlier mail, drawing attention to the
vfs_fallocate() in there: I may be wrong, and I don't know if Android
has THP in the config anyway, but it looks to me like an
unmap_mapping_range() from ashmem's vfs_fallocate() could hit precisely
the VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), once it's vma_is_anonymous().

Andy discovered that speculative memory accesses while in lazy
TLB mode can crash a system, when a CPU tries to dereference a
speculative access using memory contents that used to be valid
page table memory, but have since been reused for something else
and point into la-la land.
The latter problem can be prevented in two ways. The first is to
always send a TLB shootdown IPI to CPUs in lazy TLB mode, while
the second one is to only send the TLB shootdown at page table
freeing time.
The second should result in fewer IPIs, since operationgs like
mprotect and madvise are very common with some workloads, but
do not involve page table freeing. Also, on munmap, batching
of page table freeing covers much larger ranges of virtual
memory than the batching of unmapped user pages.

Memory allocations can induce swapping via kswapd or direct reclaim. If
we are having IO done for us by kswapd and don't actually go into direct
reclaim we may never get scheduled for throttling. So instead check to
see if our cgroup is congested, and if so schedule the throttling.
Before we return to user space the throttling stuff will only throttle
if we actually required it.

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.
Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.
To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.
Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.
It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.
For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().
For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.
