commit 8fde12ca79aff9b5ba951fce1a2641901b8d8e64 upstream.

If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while
there are still four billion references to it.  One of the possible
avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO
on a page multiple times.  This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to
take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion
references to the page.

<title>mm, gup: ensure real head page is ref-counted when using hugepages</title>

commit d63206ee32b6e64b0e12d46e5d6004afd9913713 upstream.

When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using
page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the
page returned by pmd_page() is the head page.  Although normally true,
this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive
page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or
PMD levels.

This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to
page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the
head page within the function.

We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with
page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate
page, i.e., the de-referenced head.

Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

<title>mm, gup: remove broken VM_BUG_ON_PAGE compound check for hugepages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3461e1787b1cba010c44b4fb3c8b539614a52be6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a3e328556d41bb61c55f9dfcc62d6a826ea97b85 upstream.

When operating on hugepages with DEBUG_VM enabled, the GUP code checks
the compound head for each tail page prior to calling
page_cache_add_speculative.  This is broken, because on the fast-GUP
path (where we don't hold any page table locks) we can be racing with a
concurrent invocation of split_huge_page_to_list.

split_huge_page_to_list deals with this race by using page_ref_freeze to
freeze the page and force concurrent GUPs to fail whilst the component
pages are modified.  This modification includes clearing the
compound_head field for the tail pages, so checking this prior to a
successful call to page_cache_add_speculative can lead to false
positives: In fact, page_cache_add_speculative *already* has this check
once the page refcount has been successfully updated, so we can simply
remove the broken calls to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

<title>proc: do not access cmdline nor environ from file-backed areas</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7f7ccc2ccc2e70c6054685f5e3522efa81556830 upstream.

proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target
process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this
process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting
process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the
underlying device is slow to respond.

Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions.
For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls
to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures
(including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not
changed though.

This was assigned CVE-2018-1120.

Note for stable backports: the patch may apply to kernels prior to 4.11
but silently miss one location; it must be checked that no call to
access_remote_vm() keeps zero as the last argument.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

commit bb177a732c4369bb58a1fe1df8f552b6f0f7db5f upstream.

syzbot has noticed that a specially crafted library can easily hit
VM_BUG_ON in __mm_populate

The reason is that the length of the new brk is not page aligned when we
try to populate the it.  There is no reason to bug on that though.
do_brk_flags already aligns the length properly so the mapping is
expanded as it should.  All we need is to tell mm_populate about it.
Besides that there is absolutely no reason to to bug_on in the first
place.  The worst thing that could happen is that the last page wouldn't
get populated and that is far from putting system into an inconsistent
state.

Fix the issue by moving the length sanitization code from do_brk_flags
up to vm_brk_flags.  The only other caller of do_brk_flags is brk
syscall entry and it makes sure to provide the proper length so t here
is no need for sanitation and so we can use do_brk_flags without it.

Also remove the bogus BUG_ONs.
