mm: remove mk_huge_pte()

2025-05-12T00:48:04Z

The only remaining user of mk_huge_pte() is the debug code, so remove the API and replace its use with pfn_pte() which lets us remove the conversion to a page first. We should always call arch_make_huge_pte() to turn this PTE into a huge PTE before operating on it with huge_pte_mkdirty() etc. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250402181709.2386022-10-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: Zi Yan Cc: Alexander Gordeev Cc: Andreas Larsson Cc: Anton Ivanov Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: David Hildenbrand Cc: "David S.

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Use pxdp_get() for accessing page table entries

2024-09-17T08:07:01Z

This replaces all the existing READ_ONCE() based page table accesses with respective pxdp_get() helpers. Although these helpers might also fallback to READ_ONCE() as default, but they do provide an opportunity for various platforms to override when required. This change is a step in direction to replace all page table entry accesses with respective pxdp_get() helpers.

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: drop RANDOM_ORVALUE trick

2024-06-15T17:43:08Z

Macro RANDOM_ORVALUE was used to make sure the pgtable entry will be populated with !none data in clear tests. The RANDOM_ORVALUE tried to cover mostly all the bits in a pgtable entry, even if there's no discussion on whether all the bits will be vaild. Both S390 and PPC64 have their own masks to avoid touching some bits. Now it's the turn for x86_64. The issue is there's a recent report from Mikhail Gavrilov showing that this can cause a warning with the newly added pte set check in commit 8430557fc5 on writable v.s. userfaultfd-wp bit, even though the check itself was valid, the random pte is not. We can choose to mask more bits out. However the need to have such random bits setup is questionable, as now it's already guaranteed to be true on below: - For pte level, the pgtable entry will be installed with value from pfn_pte(), where pfn points to a valid page. Hence the pte will be !none already if populated with pfn_pte(). - For upper-than-pte level, the pgtable entry should contain a directory entry always, which is also !none. All the cases look like good enough to test a pxx_clear() helper. Instead of extending the bitmask, drop the "set random bits" trick completely. Add some warning guards to make sure the entries will be !none before clear().

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: test pmd_leaf() behavior with pmd_mkinvalid()

An invalidated pmd should still cause pmd_leaf() to return true. Let's test for that to ensure all arches remain consistent.

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous definition. To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
