<id>urn:sha1:24f3fc95b56b9df7cad82d8553b7fc86f9461fd1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7661809d493b426e979f39ab512e3adf41fbcc69 upstream.

'kvmalloc()' is a convenience function for people who want to do a
kmalloc() but fall back on vmalloc() if there aren't enough physically
contiguous pages, or if the allocation is larger than what kmalloc()
supports.

However, let's make sure it doesn't get _too_ easy to do crazy things
with it.  In particular, don't allow big allocations that could be due
to integer overflow or underflow.  So make sure the allocation size fits
in an 'int', to protect against trivial integer conversion issues.

<title>mm: fix uninitialized use in overcommit_policy_handler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9c93c402c467db1cd2a219e182a19e345f46be6a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bcbda81020c3ee77e2c098cadf3e84f99ca3de17 upstream.

We get an unexpected value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory after
running the following program:

  int main()
  {
      int fd = open("/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory", O_RDWR);
      write(fd, "1", 1);
      write(fd, "2", 1);
      close(fd);
  }

write(fd, "2", 1) will pass *ppos = 1 to proc_dointvec_minmax.
proc_dointvec_minmax will return 0 without setting new_policy.

  t.data = &amp;new_policy;
  ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(&amp;t, write, buffer, lenp, ppos)
      --&gt;do_proc_dointvec
         --&gt;__do_proc_dointvec
              if (write) {
                if (proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore(ppos, table))
                  goto out;

  sysctl_overcommit_memory = new_policy;

so sysctl_overcommit_memory will be set to an uninitialized value.

Check whether new_policy has been changed by proc_dointvec_minmax.

Rewrite copy_huge_page() and move it into mm/util.c so it's always
available.  Fixes an exposure of uninitialised memory on configurations
with HUGETLB and UFFD enabled and MIGRATION disabled.

<title>mm: introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) to synchronize setting PageOffline()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:82840451936f0301781ece80322230fd8edfc648</id>
<content type='text'>
A driver might set a page logically offline -- PageOffline() -- and turn
the page inaccessible in the hypervisor; after that, access to page
content can be fatal.  One example is virtio-mem; while unplugged memory
-- marked as PageOffline() can currently be read in the hypervisor, this
will no longer be the case in the future; for example, when having a
virtio-mem device backed by huge pages in the hypervisor.

Some special PFN walkers -- i.e., /proc/kcore -- read content of random
pages after checking PageOffline(); however, these PFN walkers can race
with drivers that set PageOffline().

Let's introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) for synchronizing.

page_offline_freeze()/page_offline_thaw() allows for a subsystem to
synchronize with such drivers, achieving that a page cannot be set
PageOffline() while frozen.

page_offline_begin()/page_offline_end() is used by drivers that care about
such races when setting a page PageOffline().

For simplicity, use a rwsem for now; neither drivers nor users are
performance sensitive.

Simplify the code by using a temporary and reduce the object size by
using a single call to pr_cont().  Reverse a test and unindent a block
too.

page_mapping_file() is only used by some architectures, and then it
is usually only used in one place.  Make it a static inline function
so other architectures don't have to carry this dead code.
