Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"
* tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
MAINTAINERS: add random.h headers to RNG subsection
random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
selftests/vDSO: add tests for vgetrandom
x86: vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

Commit 1b151e2435 ("block: Remove special-casing of compound pages")
caused a change in behaviour when releasing the pages if the buffer does
not start at the beginning of the page. This was because the calculation
of the number of pages to release was incorrect. This was fixed by commit
38b43539d6 ("block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in
__bio_release_pages()").
We pin the user buffer during direct I/O writes. If this buffer is a
hugepage, bio_release_page() will unpin it and decrement all references
and pin counts at ->bi_end_io. However, if any references to the hugepage
remain post-I/O, the hugepage will not be freed upon unmap, leading to a
memory leak.
This patch verifies that a hugepage, used as a user buffer for DIO
operations, is correctly freed upon unmapping, regardless of whether the
offsets are aligned or unaligned w.r.t page boundary.

In commit 0518dbe97f ("selftests/mm: fix cross compilation with LLVM")
the logic to detect the machine architecture in the Makefile was changed
to use ARCH, and only fallback to uname -m if ARCH is unset. However the
tests of ARCH were not updated to account for the fact that ARCH is
"powerpc" for powerpc builds, not "ppc64".
Fix it by changing the checks to look for "powerpc", and change the
uname -m logic to convert "ppc64.*" into "powerpc".
With that fixed the following tests now build for powerpc again:
* protection_keys
* va_high_addr_switch
* virtual_address_range
* write_to_hugetlbfs

This test stresses the race between of madvise(DONTNEED), a page fault
and a parallel huge page mmap, which should fail due to lack of
available page available for mapping.
This test case must run on a system with one and only one huge page
available.
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
During setup, the test allocates the only available page, and starts
three threads:
- thread 1:
* madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) on the allocated huge page
- thread 2:
* Write to the allocated huge page
- thread 3:
* Tries to allocated (steal) an extra huge page (which is not
available)
thread 3 should never succeed in the allocation, since the only huge
page was never unmapped, and should be reserved.
Touching the old page after thread3 allocation will raise a SIGBUS.

This issue was leading to tests not being executed via run_vmtests.sh and
furthermore some tests running twice due to the kselftests wrapper also
executing them.

Create a selftest that exercises the race between page faults and
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in the same huge page. Do it by running two
threads that touches the huge page and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) at the same
time.
In case of a SIGBUS coming at pagefault, the test should fail, since we
hit the bug.
The test doesn't have a signal handler, and if it fails, it fails like
the following
----------------------------------
running ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
----------------------------------
./run_vmtests.sh: line 186: 595563 Bus error (core dumped) "$@"

It is very unclear to me how one is supposed to run all the mm selftests
consistently and get clear results.
Most of the test programs are launched by both run_vmtests.sh and
run_kselftest.sh:
hugepage-mmap
hugepage-shm
map_hugetlb
hugepage-mremap
hugepage-vmemmap
hugetlb-madvise
map_fixed_noreplace
gup_test
gup_longterm
uffd-unit-tests
uffd-stress
compaction_test
on-fault-limit
map_populate
mlock-random-test
mlock2-tests
mrelease_test
mremap_test
thuge-gen
virtual_address_range
va_high_addr_switch
mremap_dontunmap
hmm-tests
madv_populate
memfd_secret
ksm_tests
ksm_functional_tests
soft-dirty
cow
However, of this set, when launched by run_vmtests.sh, some of the
programs are invoked multiple times with different arguments. When
invoked by run_kselftest.sh, they are invoked without arguments (and as
a consequence, some fail immediately).
Some test programs are only launched by run_vmtests.sh:
test_vmalloc.sh
And some test programs and only launched by run_kselftest.sh:
khugepaged
migration
mkdirty
transhuge-stress
split_huge_page_test
mdwe_test
write_to_hugetlbfs
Furthermore, run_vmtests.sh is invoked by run_kselftest.sh, so in this
case all the test programs invoked by both scripts are run twice!
Needless to say, this is a bit of a mess. In the absence of fully
understanding the history here, it looks to me like the best solution is
to launch ALL test programs from run_vmtests.sh, and ONLY invoke
run_vmtests.sh from run_kselftest.sh. This way, we get full control over
the parameters, each program is only invoked the intended number of
times, and regardless of which script is used, the same tests get run in
the same way.
The only drawback is that if using run_kselftest.sh, it's top-level tap
result reporting reports only a single test and it fails if any of the
contained tests fail. I don't see this as a big deal though since we
still see all the nested reporting from multiple layers. The other issue
with this is that all of run_vmtests.sh must execute within a single
kselftest timeout period, so let's increase that to something more
suitable.
In the Makefile, TEST_GEN_PROGS will compile and install the tests and
will add them to the list of tests that run_kselftest.sh will run.
TEST_GEN_FILES will compile and install the tests but will not add them
to the test list. So let's move all the programs from TEST_GEN_PROGS to
TEST_GEN_FILES so that they are built but not executed by
run_kselftest.sh. Note that run_vmtests.sh is added to TEST_PROGS, which
means it ends up in the test list. (the lack of "_GEN" means it won't be
compiled, but simply copied).

arm64 does not support the soft-dirty PTE bit. However, the `soft-dirty`
test suite is currently run unconditionally and therefore generates
spurious test failures on arm64. There are also some tests in
`madv_populate` which assume it is supported.
For `soft-dirty` lets disable the whole suite for arm64; it is no longer
built and run_vmtests.sh will skip it if its not present.
For `madv_populate`, we need a runtime mechanism so that the remaining
tests continue to be run. Unfortunately, the only way to determine if the
soft-dirty dirty bit is supported is to write to a page, then see if the
bit is set in /proc/self/pagemap. But the tests that we want to
conditionally execute are testing precicesly this. So if we introduced
this feature check, we could accedentally turn a real failure (on a system
that claims to support soft-dirty) into a skip. So instead, do the check
based on architecture; for arm64, we report that soft-dirty is not
supported.

Currently the MM selftests attempt to work out the target architecture by
using CROSS_COMPILE or otherwise querying the host machine, storing the
target architecture in a variable called MACHINE rather than the usual
ARCH though as far as I can tell (including for x86_64) the value is the
same as we would use for architecture.
When cross compiling with LLVM we don't need a CROSS_COMPILE as LLVM can
support many target architectures in a single build so this logic does not
work, CROSS_COMPILE is not set and we end up selecting tests for the host
rather than target architecture. Fix this by using the more standard ARCH
to describe the architecture, taking it from the environment if specified.

Let's add a new test for checking whether GUP long-term page pinning works
as expected (R/O vs. R/W, MAP_PRIVATE vs. MAP_SHARED, GUP vs.
GUP-fast). Note that COW handling with long-term R/O pinning in private
mappings, and pinning of anonymous memory in general, is tested by the COW
selftest. This test, therefore, focuses on page pinning in file mappings.
The most interesting case is probably the "local tmpfile" case, as that
will likely end up on a "real" filesystem such as ext4 or xfs, not on a
virtual one like tmpfs or hugetlb where any long-term page pinning is
always expected to succeed.
For now, only add tests that use the "/sys/kernel/debug/gup_test"
interface. We'll add tests based on liburing separately next.

some scalability benefits.
- Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
operations O(1) rather than O(n).
- Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.
- Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
caused by its unintuitive meaning.
- Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible
shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace
mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file()
sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc
mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area()
hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map()
maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area()
mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries
zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context
selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM
mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs
mm: add new api to enable ksm per process
mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions
mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions
migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry
userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma()
lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code
mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list()
fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers
fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper
...
This adds three new tests to the selftests for KSM. These tests use the
new prctl API's to enable and disable KSM.
1) add new prctl flags to prctl header file in tools dir
This adds the new prctl flags to the include file prct.h in the
tools directory. This makes sure they are available for testing.
2) add KSM prctl merge test to ksm_tests
This adds the -t option to the ksm_tests program. The -t flag
allows to specify if it should use madvise or prctl ksm merging.
3) add two functions for debugging merge outcome for ksm_tests
This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat
and /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. The debug output is enabled with the
-d option.
4) add KSM prctl test to ksm_functional_tests
This adds a test to the ksm_functional_test that verifies that the
prctl system call to enable / disable KSM works.
5) add KSM fork test to ksm_functional_test
Add fork test to verify that the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is inherited
by the child process.

In many ways it's weird and unwanted to keep all the tests in the same
userfaultfd.c at least when still in the current way.
For example, it doesn't make much sense to run the stress test for each
method we can create an userfaultfd handle (either via syscall or /dev/
node). It's a waste of time running this twice for the whole stress as
the stress paths are the same, only the open path is different.
It's also just weird to need to manually specify different types of memory
to run all unit tests for the userfaultfd interface. We should be able to
just run a single program and that should go through all functional uffd
tests without running the stress test at all. The stress test was more
for torturing and finding race conditions. We don't want to wait for
stress to finish just to regress test a functional test.
When we start to pile up more things on top of the same file and same
functions, things start to go a bit chaos and the code is just harder to
maintain too with tons of global variables.
This patch creates a new test uffd-unit-tests to keep userfaultfd unit
tests in the future, currently empty.
Meanwhile rename the old userfaultfd.c test to uffd-stress.c.

Let's add some tests that trigger (pte|pmd)_mkdirty on VMAs without write
permissions. If an architecture implementation is wrong, we might
accidentally set the PTE/PMD writable and allow for write access in a VMA
without write permissions.
The tests include reproducers for the two issues recently discovered
and worked-around in core-MM for now:
(1) commit 624a2c94f5 ("Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty
bit when thp splits on pmd"")
(2) commit 96a9c287e2 ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write bit
after mkdirty on sparc64")
In addition, some other tests that reveal further issues.
All tests pass under x86_64:
./mkdirty
# [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB
TAP version 13
1..6
# [INFO] PTRACE write access

# [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY

# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
But some fail on sparc64:
./mkdirty
# [INFO] detected THP size: 8192 KiB

# [INFO] PTRACE write access

not ok 6 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified
Bail out! 3 out of 6 tests failed
# Totals: pass:3 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
Reverting both above commits makes all tests fail on sparc64:
./mkdirty
# [INFO] detected THP size: 8192 KiB
TAP version 13
1..6
# [INFO] PTRACE write access
not ok 1 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified

# Totals: pass:0 fail:6 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
The tests are useful to detect other problematic archs, to verify new
arch fixes, and to stop such issues from reappearing in the future.
For now, we don't add any hugetlb tests.
