<content type='text'>
In order to provide a clearer, more symmetric API for pinning and
unpinning DMA pages.  This way, pin_user_pages*() calls match up with
unpin_user_pages*() calls, and the API is a lot closer to being
self-explanatory.

<title>mm/process_vm_access: set FOLL_PIN via pin_user_pages_remote()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:803e4572d7c5db03cbc155e9dd0530f50ebba336</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert process_vm_access to use the new pin_user_pages_remote() call,
which sets FOLL_PIN.  Setting FOLL_PIN is now required for code that
requires tracking of pinned pages.

Also, release the pages via put_user_page*().

Also, rename "pages" to "pinned_pages", as this makes for easier reading
of process_vm_rw_single_vec().

There are several functions that do find_task_by_vpid() followed by
get_task_struct().  We can use a helper function instead.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/mm.h&gt;</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6e84f31522f931027bf695752087ece278c10d3f</id>
<content type='text'>
We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/mm.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/mm.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

The APIs that are going to be moved first are:

   mm_alloc()
   __mmdrop()
   mmdrop()
   mmdrop_async_fn()
   mmdrop_async()
   mmget_not_zero()
   mmput()
   mmput_async()
   get_task_mm()
   mm_access()
   mm_release()

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8b7457ef9a9eb46cd1675d40d8e1fd3c47a38395</id>
<content type='text'>
Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces
invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions.

In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked()
with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags.

In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass
different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane
replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release
of mmap_sem.)

Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH
flag.  However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit
1e9877902dc7 ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this
appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not
an issue.

<title>mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_unlocked()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d4944b0ecec0af882483fe44b66729316e575208</id>
<content type='text'>
This removes the redundant 'write' and 'force' parameters from
__get_user_pages_unlocked() to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in
callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

<id>urn:sha1:1e9877902dc7e11d2be038371c6fbf2dfcd469d7</id>
<content type='text'>
For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections
should be enforced in software or not.  In general, we enforce
protections when working on our own task, but not when on others.
We call these "current" and "remote" operations.

This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant:

        get_user_pages_remote()

Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on
non-current tsk/mm.

We also introduce a new gup flag: FOLL_REMOTE which can be used
for the "__" gup variants to get this new behavior.

The uprobes is_trap_at_addr() location holds mmap_sem and
calls get_user_pages(current-&gt;mm) on an instruction address.  This
makes it a pretty unique gup caller.  Being an instruction access
and also really originating from the kernel (vs. the app), I opted
to consider this a 'remote' access where protection keys will not
be enforced.

Without protection keys, this patch should not change any behavior.
