commit db3a528db41caaa6dfd4c64e9f5efb1c81a80467 upstream.

In preparation for the following patch which will fix an issue on
the 8xx by re-using the 'slices', this patch enhances the
'slices' implementation to support 32 bits CPUs.

On PPC32, the address space is limited to 4Gbytes, hence only the low
slices will be used.

The high slices use bitmaps. As bitmap functions are not prepared to
handle bitmaps of size 0, this patch ensures that bitmap functions
are called only when SLICE_NUM_HIGH is not nul.

commit 326691ad4f179e6edc7eb1271e618dd673e4736d upstream.

bitmap_or() and bitmap_andnot() can work properly with dst identical
to src1 or src2. There is no need of an intermediate result bitmap
that is copied back to dst in a second step.

<title>powerpc/64s/slice: Use addr limit when computing slice mask</title>

<content type='text'>
While computing slice mask for the free area we need make sure we only
search in the addr limit applicable for this mmap. We update the
slb_addr_limit after we request for a mmap above 128TB. But the
following mmap request with hint addr below 128TB should still limit
its search to below 128TB. ie. we should not use slb_addr_limit to
compute slice mask in this case. Instead, we should derive high addr
limit based on the mmap hint addr value.

Radix keeps no meaningful state in addr_limit, so remove it from radix
code and rename to slb_addr_limit to make it clear it applies to hash
only.

While mapping hints with a length that cross 128TB are disallowed,
MAP_FIXED allocations that cross 128TB are allowed. These are failing
on hash (on radix they succeed). Add an additional case for fixed
mappings to expand the addr_limit when crossing 128TB.

<content type='text'>
When allocating VA space with a hint that crosses 128TB, the SLB
addr_limit variable is not expanded if addr is not &gt; 128TB, but the
slice allocation looks at task_size, which is 512TB. This results in
slice_check_fit() incorrectly succeeding because the slice_count
truncates off bit 128 of the requested mask, so the comparison to the
available mask succeeds.

Fix this by using mm-&gt;context.addr_limit instead of mm-&gt;task_size for
testing allocation limits. This causes such allocations to fail.

Currently userspace is able to request mmap() search between 128T-512T
by specifying a hint address that is greater than 128T. But that means
a hint of 128T exactly will return an address below 128T, which is
confusing and wrong.

So fix the logic to check the hint is greater than *or equal* to 128T.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb</id>
<content type='text'>
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

<title>powerpc/mmap: Any hint &gt; 128TB searches the full VA space</title>

<id>urn:sha1:321f7d29e5163d7f1c9c0b705acc45bd1be34aa6</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of the new large address space support, processes start out life with a
128TB virtual address space. However when calling mmap() a process can pass a
hint address, and if that hint is &gt; 128TB the kernel will use the full 512TB
address space to try and satisfy the mmap() request.

Currently we have a check that the hint is &gt; 128TB and &lt; 512TB (TASK_SIZE),
which was added as an optimisation to avoid updating addr_limit unnecessarily
and also to avoid calling slice_flush_segments() on all CPUs more than
necessary.

However this has the user-visible side effect that an mmap() hint above 512TB
does not search the full address space unless a preceding mmap() used a hint
value &gt; 128TB &amp;&amp; &lt; 512TB.

So fix it to treat any hint above 128TB as a hint to search the full address
space, instead of checking the hint against TASK_SIZE, we instead check if the
addr_limit is already == TASK_SIZE.

This also brings the ABI in-line with what is proposed on x86. ie, that a hint
address above 128TB up to and including (2^64)-1 is an indication to search the
full address space.

We don't init addr_limit correctly for 32 bit applications. So default to using
mm-&gt;task_size for boundary condition checking. We use addr_limit to only control
free space search. This makes sure that we do the right thing with 32 bit
applications.

We should consolidate the usage of TASK_SIZE/mm-&gt;task_size and
mm-&gt;context.addr_limit later.

This partially reverts commit fbfef9027c2a7ad (powerpc/mm: Switch some
TASK_SIZE checks to use mm_context addr_limit).
