[ Upstream commit b983b271662bd6104d429b0fd97af3333ba760bf ]

Disabling preemption in the GRU driver is unnecessary, and clashes with
sleeping locks in several code paths.  Remove preempt_disable and
preempt_enable from the GRU driver.

<title>mm: ptep_get() conversion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c33c794828f21217f72ce6fc140e0d34e0d56bff</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

<title>mm/gup: remove unused vmas parameter from get_user_pages()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:54d020692b342f7bd02d7f5795fb5c401caecfcc</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6.

(pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter
for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range.

These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm-&gt;mmap_lock
is never released during the GUP operation (i.e.  the internal flag
FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified).

In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and
become invalidated the moment it is released.

The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of
those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks
upon.

It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the
operation with a vma_lookup().  In these cases we duplicate the (fast)
lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new
get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs
error checking and reference count maintenance.

The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to
assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken
long-term GUP file-backed mappings.

As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not
file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e.  requiring dirty tracking) - as
implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to
file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can
simply remove it altogether from io_uring.

Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging
pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been
incorrectly released.

In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is
intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning
pinned pages.

This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements
in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths.

I have run this series against gup_test with no issues.

Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring!


This patch (of 6):

No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it.

The GUP API is confusing and caveated.  Recent changes have done much to
improve that, however there is more we can do.  Exporting vmas is a prime
target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use
after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling
pointers.

Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary
purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions
implied by the input flags.

This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter
altogether.

Pull char/misc and other driver subsystem updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver changes for char/misc drivers and
  other smaller driver subsystems that flow through this git tree.

  Included in here are:

   - New IIO drivers and features and improvments in that subsystem

   - New hwtracing drivers and additions to that subsystem

   - lots of interconnect changes and new drivers as that subsystem
     seems under very active development recently. This required also
     merging in the icc subsystem changes through this tree.

   - FPGA driver updates

   - counter subsystem and driver updates

   - MHI driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - documentation updates

   - Other smaller driver updates and fixes, full details in the
     shortlog

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

In some bad situation, the gts may be freed gru_check_chiplet_assignment.
The call chain can be gru_unload_context-&gt;gru_free_gru_context-&gt;gts_drop
and kfree finally. However, the caller didn't know if the gts is freed
or not and use it afterwards. This will trigger a Use after Free bug.

Fix it by introducing a return value to see if it's in error path or not.
Free the gts in caller if gru_check_chiplet_assignment check failed.

With char becoming unsigned by default, and with `char` alone being
ambiguous and based on architecture, signed chars need to be marked
explicitly as such. This fixes warnings like:
