[ Upstream commit 7a2369b74abf76cd3e54c45b30f6addb497f831b ]

The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc.  The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the
dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the
default zswap allocator for a long time.

Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered
better memory savings.  This is no longer the case as shown by a simple
recent analysis [1].  That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any
advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory
usage.  In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took
3% more time and used 1.8% more memory.  The latency of zswap_load() was
7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher.  Zsmalloc is better
in all metrics.

Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by
a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2].  Switching to zsmalloc
not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to
1~2G.  Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling
z3fold.

Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering
effort.  Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple
development discussions (e.g.  [3]) as something we need to handle, when
there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally).

The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few
cycles if no objections are raised from active users.  Next on the list
should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge
memory waste when compared to zsmalloc.  That one will need to wait until
zsmalloc does not depend on MMU.

Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to
CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new
prompt with explanation during make oldconfig.  Also, remove
CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

<title>mm: krealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO</title>

<id>urn:sha1:73388659ef0eea51747350530afdeadf8809ce9c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1a83a716ec233990e1fd5b6fbb1200ade63bf450 upstream.

As long as krealloc() is called with __GFP_ZERO consistently, starting
with the initial memory allocation, __GFP_ZERO should be fully honored.

However, if for an existing allocation krealloc() is called with a
decreased size, it is not ensured that the spare portion the allocation is
zeroed.  Thus, if krealloc() is subsequently called with a larger size
again, __GFP_ZERO can't be fully honored, since we don't know the previous
size, but only the bucket size.

Example:

	buf = kzalloc(64, GFP_KERNEL);
	memset(buf, 0xff, 64);

	buf = krealloc(buf, 48, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);

	/* After this call the last 16 bytes are still 0xff. */
	buf = krealloc(buf, 64, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);

Fix this, by explicitly setting spare memory to zero, when shrinking an
allocation with __GFP_ZERO flag set or init_on_alloc enabled.

<title>mm, slub: avoid zeroing kmalloc redzone</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 59090e479ac78ae18facd4c58eb332562a23020e upstream.

Since commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra
allocated kmalloc space than requested"), setting orig_size treats
the wasted space (object_size - orig_size) as a redzone. However with
init_on_free=1 we clear the full object-&gt;size, including the redzone.

Additionally we clear the object metadata, including the stored orig_size,
making it zero, which makes check_object() treat the whole object as a
redzone.

These issues lead to the following BUG report with "slub_debug=FUZ
init_on_free=1":

To address the issue, use orig_size to clear the used area. And restore
the value of orig_size after clear the remaining area.

When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG not defined, (get_orig_size()' directly returns
s-&gt;object_size. So when using memset to init the area, the size can simply
be orig_size, as orig_size returns object_size when CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG not
enabled. And orig_size can never be bigger than object_size.

commit 2a058ab3286d6475b2082b90c2d2182d2fea4b39 upstream.

Some callers of vmf_anon_prepare() may not want us to release the per-VMA
lock ourselves.  Rename vmf_anon_prepare() to __vmf_anon_prepare() and let
the callers drop the lock when desired.

Also, make vmf_anon_prepare() a wrapper that releases the per-VMA lock
itself for any callers that don't care.

This is in preparation to fix this bug reported by syzbot:

commit 98b74bb4d7e96b4da5ef3126511febe55b76b807 upstream.

Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault().  This happens because
vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA
to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called.

We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that
doesn't release the VMA lock on failure, and then release it ourselves
after hugetlb_vma_unlock_read().

<content type='text'>
commit 69b50d4351ed924f29e3d46b159e28f70dfc707f upstream.

The generic mmap_base code tries to leave a gap between the top of the
stack and the mmap base address, but enforces a minimum gap size (MIN_GAP)
of 128MB, which is too large on some setups.  In particular, on arm tasks
without ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT, the STACK_TOP value is less than 128MB, so it's
impossible to fit such a gap in.

Only enforce this minimum if MIN_GAP &lt; MAX_GAP, as we'd prefer to honour
MAX_GAP, which is defined proportionally, so scales better and always
leaves us with both _some_ stack space and some room for mmap.

This fixes the usercopy KUnit test suite on 32-bit arm, as it doesn't set
any personality flags so gets the default (in this case 26-bit) task size.
This test can be run with: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm
usercopy --make_options LLVM=1

commit c0f398c3b2cf67976bca216f80668b9c93368385 upstream.

Batch the HVO work, including de-HVO of the source and HVO of the
destination hugeTLB folios, to speed up demotion.

After commit bd225530a4c7 ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative
PFN walkers"), each request of HVO or de-HVO, batched or not, invokes
synchronize_rcu() once.  For example, when not batched, demoting one 1GB
hugeTLB folio to 512 2MB hugeTLB folios invokes synchronize_rcu() 513
times (1 de-HVO plus 512 HVO requests), whereas when batched, only twice
(1 de-HVO plus 1 HVO request).  And the performance difference between the
two cases is significant, e.g.,

  echo 2048kB &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
  time echo 100 &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote

Before this patch:
  real     8m58.158s
  user     0m0.009s
  sys      0m5.900s

After this patch:
  real     0m0.900s
  user     0m0.000s
  sys      0m0.851s

Note that this patch changes the behavior of the `demote` interface when
de-HVO fails.  Before, the interface aborts immediately upon failure; now,
it tries to finish an entire batch, meaning it can make extra progress if
the rest of the batch contains folios that do not need to de-HVO.

<title>mm: call the security_mmap_file() LSM hook in remap_file_pages()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3393fddbfa947c8e1fdcc4509226905ffffd8b89</id>

commit ea7e2d5e49c05e5db1922387b09ca74aa40f46e2 upstream.

The remap_file_pages syscall handler calls do_mmap() directly, which
doesn't contain the LSM security check. And if the process has called
personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) before and remap_file_pages() is called for
RW pages, this will actually result in remapping the pages to RWX,
bypassing a W^X policy enforced by SELinux.

So we should check prot by security_mmap_file LSM hook in the
remap_file_pages syscall handler before do_mmap() is called. Otherwise, it
potentially permits an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by
SELinux.

The bypass is similar to CVE-2016-10044, which bypass the same thing via
AIO and can be found in [1].

The PoC:

$ cat &gt; test.c

int main(void) {
	size_t pagesz = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);
	int mfd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", 0);
	const char *buf = mmap(NULL, 4 * pagesz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
		MAP_SHARED, mfd, 0);
	unsigned int old = syscall(SYS_personality, 0xffffffff);
	syscall(SYS_personality, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC | old);
	syscall(SYS_remap_file_pages, buf, pagesz, 0, 2, 0);
	syscall(SYS_personality, old);
	// show the RWX page exists even if W^X policy is enforced
	int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);
	unsigned char buf2[1024];
	while (1) {
		int ret = read(fd, buf2, 1024);
		if (ret &lt;= 0) break;
		write(1, buf2, ret);
	}
	close(fd);
}

$ gcc test.c -o test
$ ./test | grep rwx
