commit 5a18b64e3f02125be1c0ef777501ae38aafe2a24 upstream.

There may still be threads waiting on event_wqh at the time the
userfault file descriptor is closed.  Flush the events wait-queue to
prevent waiting threads from hanging.

commit 9d95aa4bada24be35bb94827a55e1d6e243d866e upstream.

In the non-cooperative userfaultfd case, the process exit may race with
outstanding mcopy_atomic called by the uffd monitor.  Returning -ENOSPC
instead of -EINVAL when mm is already gone will allow uffd monitor to
distinguish this case from other error conditions.

Unfortunately I overlooked userfaultfd_zeropage when updating
userfaultd_copy().

<content type='text'>
Anon and hugetlbfs handle FOLL_DUMP set by get_dump_page() internally to
__get_user_pages().

shmem as opposed has no special FOLL_DUMP handling there so
handle_mm_fault() is invoked without mmap_sem and ends up calling
handle_userfault() that isn't expecting to be invoked without mmap_sem
held.

This makes handle_userfault() fail immediately if invoked through
shmem_vm_ops-&gt;fault during coredumping and solves the problem.

The side effect is a BUG_ON with no lock held triggered by the
coredumping process which exits.  Only 4.11 is affected, pre-4.11 anon
memory holes are skipped in __get_user_pages by checking FOLL_DUMP
explicitly against empty pagetables (mm/gup.c:no_page_table()).

It's zero cost as we already had a check for current-&gt;flags to prevent
futex to trigger userfaults during exit (PF_EXITING).

<title>userfaultfd: report actual registered features in fdinfo</title>

<content type='text'>
fdinfo for userfault file descriptor reports UFFD_API_FEATURES.  Up
until recently, the UFFD_API_FEATURES was defined as 0, therefore
corresponding field in fdinfo always contained zero.  Now, with
introduction of several additional features, UFFD_API_FEATURES is not
longer 0 and it seems better to report actual features requested for the
userfaultfd object described by the fdinfo.

First, the applications that were using userfault will still see zero at
the features field in fdinfo.  Next, reporting actual features rather
than available features, gives clear indication of what userfault
features are used by an application.

Merge 5-level page table prep from Kirill Shutemov:
 "Here's relatively low-risk part of 5-level paging patchset. Merging it
  now will make x86 5-level paging enabling in v4.12 easier.

  The first patch is actually x86-specific: detect 5-level paging
  support. It boils down to single define.

  The rest of patchset converts Linux MMU abstraction from 4- to 5-level
  paging.

  Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line
  of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/.

  Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page
  table level -- p4d_t -- where we deal with pud_t now.

  v2:
   - fix build on microblaze (Michal);
   - comment for __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK in kasan_populate_zero_shadow();
   - acks from Michal"

* emailed patches from Kirill A Shutemov &lt;kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com&gt;:
  mm: introduce __p4d_alloc()
  mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging
  asm-generic: introduce &lt;asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h&gt;

<title>userfaultfd: non-cooperative: userfaultfd_remove revalidate vma in MADV_DONTNEED</title>

userfaultfd_remove() has to be execute before zapping the pagetables or
UFFDIO_COPY could keep filling pages after zap_page_range returned,
which would result in non zero data after a MADV_DONTNEED.

However userfaultfd_remove() may have to release the mmap_sem.  This was
handled correctly in MADV_REMOVE, but MADV_DONTNEED accessed a
potentially stale vma (the very vma passed to zap_page_range(vma, ...)).

The fix consists in revalidating the vma in case userfaultfd_remove()
had to release the mmap_sem.

This also optimizes away an unnecessary down_read/up_read in the
MADV_REMOVE case if UFFD_EVENT_FORK had to be delivered.

It all remains zero runtime cost in case CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n as
userfaultfd_remove() will be defined as "true" at build time.

Similar to the handle_userfault() case, also make sure to never attempt
to send any event past the PF_EXITING point of no return.

This is purely a robustness check.
