mm/pagemap: fix wr-protect even if PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING not set

2023-12-07T00:12:45Z

The new pagemap ioctl contains a fast path for wr-protections without looking into category masks. It forgets to check PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING before applying the wr-protections. It can cause, e.g., pte markers installed on archs that do not even support uffd wr-protect.

mm/pagemap: fix ioctl(PAGEMAP_SCAN) on vma check

2023-12-07T00:12:44Z

Patch series "mm/pagemap: A few fixes to the recent PAGEMAP_SCAN". This series should fix two known reports from syzbot on the new PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl(): https://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000b0e576060a30ee3b@google.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000773fa7060a31e2cc@google.com/ The 3rd patch is something I found when testing these patches. This patch (of 3): The new ioctl(PAGEMAP_SCAN) relies on vma wr-protect capability provided by userfault, however in the vma test it didn't explicitly require the vma to have wr-protect function enabled, even if PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING flag is set. It means the pagemap code can now apply uffd-wp bit to a page in the vma even if not registered to userfaultfd at all. Then in whatever way as long as the pte got written and page fault resolved, we'll apply the write bit even if uffd-wp bit is set. We'll see a pte that has both UFFD_WP and WRITE bit set. Anything later that looks up the pte for uffd-wp bit will trigger the warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5071 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:403 pte_uffd_wp arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:403 [inline] Fix it by doing proper check over the vma attributes when PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is specified.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "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-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value: - 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 For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded check for procname == NULL. The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now" * tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (23 commits) watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init intel drm: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array Drivers: hv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array raid: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array fw loader: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array sgi-xp: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array vrf: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array char-misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array infiniband: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array macintosh: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array parport: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array scsi: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array tty: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array xen: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array hpet: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array c-sky: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_talbe array powerpc: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table arrays riscv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array x86/vdso: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array ...

watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param

2023-11-01T19:10:02Z

Setting softlockup_panic from do_sysctl_args() causes it to take effect later in boot. The lockup detector is enabled before SMP is brought online, but do_sysctl_args runs afterwards. If a user wants to set softlockup_panic on boot and have it trigger should a softlockup occur during onlining of the non-boot processors, they could do this prior to commit f117955a2255 ("kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot parameters to sysctl aliases"). However, after this commit the value of softlockup_panic is set too late to be of help for this type of problem. Restore the prior behavior.
