CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold. The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.This patch (of 3):
This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.Signed-off-by: Laurent Dufour

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.[james.hogan@imgtec.com: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack]

The x86 MPX patch set calls arch_unmap() and arch_bprm_mm_init()
from fs/exec.c, so we need at least a stub for them in all
architectures. They are only called under an #ifdef for
CONFIG_MMU=y, so we can at least restict this to architectures
with MMU support.blackfin/c6x have no MMU support, so do not call arch_unmap().
They also do not include mm_hooks.h or mmu_context.h at all and
do not need to be touched.s390, um and unicore32 do not use asm-generic/mm_hooks.h, so got
their own arch_unmap() versions. (I also moved um's
arch_dup_mmap() to be closer to the other mm_hooks.h functions).xtensa only includes mm_hooks when MMU=y, which should be fine
since arch_unmap() is called only from MMU=y code.For the rest, we use the stub copies of these functions in
asm-generic/mm_hook.h.I cross compiled defconfigs for cris (to check NOMMU) and s390
to make sure that this works. I also checked a 64-bit build
of UML and all my normal x86 builds including PARAVIRT on and
off.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski

The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.Reported-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran
out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop.
3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and
.data sections.Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu
