2020-06-11x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigationMark Gross2-0/+21
commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream. SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL. The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom. * Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off. * Export vulnerability status via sysfs * Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

2020-04-28namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular filesSalvatore Mesoraca1-0/+36
commit 30aba6656f61ed44cba445a3c0d38b296fa9e8f5 upstream. Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

2020-02-11x86/speculation: Fix incorrect MDS/TAA mitigation statusWaiman Long3-3/+20
commit 64870ed1b12e235cfca3f6c6da75b542c973ff78 upstream. For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent, the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status correctly. For example, with only the "mds=off" option: vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly, the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but taa off. Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" are present. Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

commit db4d30fbb71b47e4ecb11c4efa5d8aad4b03dfae upstream. Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant erratum can be found here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195 There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully disclose the impact. This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT. It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page tables. Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which are mitigated against this issue.

2019-08-20siphash: implement HalfSipHash1-3 for hash tablesJason A. Donenfeld1-0/+75
commit 1ae2324f732c9c4e2fa4ebd885fa1001b70d52e1 upstream. HalfSipHash, or hsiphash, is a shortened version of SipHash, which generates 32-bit outputs using a weaker 64-bit key. It has *much* lower security margins, and shouldn't be used for anything too sensitive, but it could be used as a hashtable key function replacement, if the output is never exposed, and if the security requirement is not too high. The goal is to make this something that performance-critical jhash users would be willing to use. On 64-bit machines, HalfSipHash1-3 is slower than SipHash1-3, so we alias SipHash1-3 to HalfSipHash1-3 on those systems. 64-bit x86_64: [ 0.509409] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 4049181 [ 0.510650] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 2512884 [ 0.512205] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3429920 [ 0.512904] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 978267 So, we map hsiphash() -> SipHash1-3 32-bit x86: [ 0.509868] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 14812892 [ 0.513601] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 9510710 [ 0.515263] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3856157 [ 0.515952] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 1148567 So, we map hsiphash() -> HalfSipHash1-3 hsiphash() is roughly 3 times slower than jhash(), but comes with a considerable security improvement.

2019-08-13siphash: add cryptographically secure PRFJason A. Donenfeld1-0/+100
commit 2c956a60778cbb6a27e0c7a8a52a91378c90e1d1 upstream. SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast, and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG chaining. For the first usage: There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant as a replacement for jhash in these cases. There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate. While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function, it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage poses a real security risk. For the second usage: A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers. SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy. Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels. SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of problems, and it's time we catch-up. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

2019-08-13x86/speculation: Enable Spectre v1 swapgs mitigationsJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+5
commit a2059825986a1c8143fd6698774fa9d83733bb11 upstream. The previous commit added macro calls in the entry code which mitigate the Spectre v1 swapgs issue if the X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_* features are enabled. Enable those features where applicable. The mitigations may be disabled with "nospectre_v1" or "mitigations=off". There are different features which can affect the risk of attack: - When FSGSBASE is enabled, unprivileged users are able to place any value in GS, using the wrgsbase instruction. This means they can write a GS value which points to any value in kernel space, which can be useful with the following gadget in an interrupt/exception/NMI handler: if (coming from user space) swapgs mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1 // dependent load or store based on the value of %reg // for example: mov %(reg1), %reg2 If an interrupt is coming from user space, and the entry code speculatively skips the swapgs (due to user branch mistraining), it may speculatively execute the GS-based load and a subsequent dependent load or store, exposing the kernel data to an L1 side channel leak. Note that, on Intel, a similar attack exists in the above gadget when coming from kernel space, if the swapgs gets speculatively executed to switch back to the user GS. On AMD, this variant isn't possible because swapgs is serializing with respect to future GS-based accesses. NOTE: The FSGSBASE patch set hasn't been merged yet, so the above case doesn't exist quite yet. - When FSGSBASE is disabled, the issue is mitigated somewhat because unprivileged users must use prctl(ARCH_SET_GS) to set GS, which restricts GS values to user space addresses only. That means the gadget would need an additional step, since the target kernel address needs to be read from user space first. Something like: if (coming from user space) swapgs mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1 mov (%reg1), %reg2 // dependent load or store based on the value of %reg2 // for example: mov %(reg2), %reg3 It's difficult to audit for this gadget in all the handlers, so while there are no known instances of it, it's entirely possible that it exists somewhere (or could be introduced in the future). Without tooling to analyze all such code paths, consider it vulnerable. Effects of SMAP on the !FSGSBASE case: - If SMAP is enabled, and the CPU reports RDCL_NO (i.e., not susceptible to Meltdown), the kernel is prevented from speculatively reading user space memory, even L1 cached values. This effectively disables the !FSGSBASE attack vector. - If SMAP is enabled, but the CPU *is* susceptible to Meltdown, SMAP still prevents the kernel from speculatively reading user space memory. But it does *not* prevent the kernel from reading the user value from L1, if it has already been cached. This is probably only a small hurdle for an attacker to overcome.

2019-08-13USB: core: Fix bug caused by duplicate interface PM usage counterAlan Stern1-5/+9
commit c2b71462d294cf517a0bc6e4fd6424d7cee5596f upstream. The syzkaller fuzzer reported a bug in the USB hub driver which turned out to be caused by a negative runtime-PM usage counter. This allowed a hub to be runtime suspended at a time when the driver did not expect it. The symptom is a WARNING issued because the hub's status URB is submitted while it is already active: URB 0000000031fb463e submitted while active WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2917 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:363 The negative runtime-PM usage count was caused by an unfortunate design decision made when runtime PM was first implemented for USB. At that time, USB class drivers were allowed to unbind from their interfaces without balancing the usage counter (i.e., leaving it with a positive count). The core code would take care of setting the counter back to 0 before allowing another driver to bind to the interface. Later on when runtime PM was implemented for the entire kernel, the opposite decision was made: Drivers were required to balance their runtime-PM get and put calls. In order to maintain backward compatibility, however, the USB subsystem adapted to the new implementation by keeping an independent usage counter for each interface and using it to automatically adjust the normal usage counter back to 0 whenever a driver was unbound. This approach involves duplicating information, but what is worse, it doesn't work properly in cases where a USB class driver delays decrementing the usage counter until after the driver's disconnect() routine has returned and the counter has been adjusted back to 0. Doing so would cause the usage counter to become negative. There's even a warning about this in the USB power management documentation! As it happens, this is exactly what the hub driver does. The kick_hub_wq() routine increments the runtime-PM usage counter, and the corresponding decrement is carried out by hub_event() in the context of the hub_wq work-queue thread. This work routine may sometimes run after the driver has been unbound from its interface, and when it does it causes the usage counter to go negative. It is not possible for hub_disconnect() to wait for a pending hub_event() call to finish, because hub_disconnect() is called with the device lock held and hub_event() acquires that lock. The only feasible fix is to reverse the original design decision: remove the duplicate interface-specific usage counter and require USB drivers to balance their runtime PM gets and puts. As far as I know, all existing drivers currently do this.

2019-06-20tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctlEric Dumazet1-0/+8
commit 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363 upstream. Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or SYN/ACK messages. This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu overhead. Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40 bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload. In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value to a saner value. We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility reasons. Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value in commit c39508d6f118 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.") from 64 to 88. We might in the future merge TCP_MIN_SND_MSS and TCP_MIN_MSS.

commit e672f8bf71c66253197e503f75c771dd28ada4a0 upstream. Updated the documentation for a new CVE-2019-11091 Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) which is a variant of Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS). MDS is a family of side channel attacks on internal buffers in Intel CPUs. MDSUM is a special case of MSBDS, MFBDS and MLPDS. An uncacheable load from memory that takes a fault or assist can leave data in a microarchitectural structure that may later be observed using one of the same methods used by MSBDS, MFBDS or MLPDS. There are no new code changes expected for MDSUM. The existing mitigation for MDS applies to MDSUM as well.

commit 98af8452945c55652de68536afdde3b520fec429 upstream. Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

This is the minimal straight forward initial implementation which just provides an always on/off mode. The command line parameter is: mds=[full|off] This is consistent with the existing mitigations for other speculative hardware vulnerabilities. The idle invocation is dynamically updated according to the SMT state of the system similar to the dynamic update of the STIBP mitigation.

2019-05-23x86/speculation/mds: Conditionally clear CPU buffers on idle entryThomas Gleixner1-0/+42
commit 07f07f55a29cb705e221eda7894dd67ab81ef343 upstream. Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear mechanism on idle entry. This is independent of other MDS mitigations because the idle entry invocation to mitigate the potential leakage due to store buffer repartitioning is only necessary on SMT systems. Add the actual invocations to the different halt/mwait variants which covers all usage sites. mwaitx is not patched as it's not available on Intel CPUs. The buffer clear is only invoked before entering the C-State to prevent that stale data from the idling CPU is spilled to the Hyper-Thread sibling after the Store buffer got repartitioned and all entries are available to the non idle sibling. When coming out of idle the store buffer is partitioned again so each sibling has half of it available. Now CPU which returned from idle could be speculatively exposed to contents of the sibling, but the buffers are flushed either on exit to user space or on VMENTER. When later on conditional buffer clearing is implemented on top of this, then there is no action required either because before returning to user space the context switch will set the condition flag which causes a flush on the return to user path. Note, that the buffer clearing on idle is only sensible on CPUs which are solely affected by MSBDS and not any other variant of MDS because the other MDS variants cannot be mitigated when SMT is enabled, so the buffer clearing on idle would be a window dressing exercise. This intentionally does not handle the case in the acpi/processor_idle driver which uses the legacy IO port interface for C-State transitions for two reasons: - The acpi/processor_idle driver was replaced by the intel_idle driver almost a decade ago. Anything Nehalem upwards supports it and defaults to that new driver. - The legacy IO port interface is likely to be used on older and therefore unaffected CPUs or on systems which do not receive microcode updates anymore, so there is no point in adding that.

commit 6a9e529272517755904b7afa639f6db59ddb793e upstream. The Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulernabilities are mitigated by clearing the affected CPU buffers. The mechanism for clearing the buffers uses the unused and obsolete VERW instruction in combination with a microcode update which triggers a CPU buffer clear when VERW is executed. Provide a inline function with the assembly magic. The argument of the VERW instruction must be a memory operand as documented: "MD_CLEAR enumerates that the memory-operand variant of VERW (for example, VERW m16) has been extended to also overwrite buffers affected by MDS. This buffer overwriting functionality is not guaranteed for the register operand variant of VERW." Documentation also recommends to use a writable data segment selector: "The buffer overwriting occurs regardless of the result of the VERW permission check, as well as when the selector is null or causes a descriptor load segment violation. However, for lowest latency we recommend using a selector that indicates a valid writable data segment." Add x86 specific documentation about MDS and the internal workings of the mitigation.

2019-05-23x86/speculation: Add seccomp Spectre v2 user space protection modeThomas Gleixner1-1/+8
commit 6b3e64c237c072797a9ec918654a60e3a46488e2 upstream. If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl. SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as well. The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works: Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes (or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core. Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on different hyper-threads from being attacked. While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel clarifies the whole mechanism. IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same logical processor.

2019-04-04mm: rmap use pte lock not mmap_sem to set PageMlockedHugh Dickins1-45/+16
commit b87537d9e2feb30f6a962f27eb32768682698d3b upstream. KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) has shown that the down_read_trylock() of mmap_sem in try_to_unmap_one() (when going to set PageMlocked on a page found mapped in a VM_LOCKED vma) is ineffective against races with exit_mmap()'s munlock_vma_pages_all(), because mmap_sem is not held when tearing down an mm. But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails. It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state. We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after. The page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not necessarily locked when it's unmapped). But the pte lock we just dropped is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page(). Is that lock ordering safe? Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap() calls the complementary clear_page_mlock(). This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when freed. The pte lock protects against this. You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit 48ec833b7851 ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem"). Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against. try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked: leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable. mmap_sem is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page, after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one. Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a "vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision. This does not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility. While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED. Yes, that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the optimization: it's not critical. Far better not to waste time here. Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one() on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked. Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area.

2018-11-20fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacksAndy Lutomirski1-30/+1
commit b18cb64ead400c01bf1580eeba330ace51f8087d upstream. This reverts more of: b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") ... which was partially reverted by: 65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation") Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps. In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range. In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone: KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running ordinary process-context kernel code. This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code, and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs that frequently switch stacks on their own.

2018-10-21ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctlEric Biggers1-6/+0
commit af8d3c7c001ae7df1ed2b2715f058113efc86187 upstream. The PPPIOCDETACH ioctl effectively tries to "close" the given ppp file before f_count has reached 0, which is fundamentally a bad idea. It does check 'f_count < 2', which excludes concurrent operations on the file since they would only be possible with a shared fd table, in which case each fdget() would take a file reference. However, it fails to account for the fact that even with 'f_count == 1' the file can still be linked into epoll instances. As reported by syzbot, this can trivially be used to cause a use-after-free. Yet, the only known user of PPPIOCDETACH is pppd versions older than ppp-2.4.2, which was released almost 15 years ago (November 2003). Also, PPPIOCDETACH apparently stopped working reliably at around the same time, when the f_count check was added to the kernel, e.g. see https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/31/83. Also, the current 'f_count < 2' check makes PPPIOCDETACH only work in single-threaded applications; it always fails if called from a multithreaded application. All pppd versions released in the last 15 years just close() the file descriptor instead. Therefore, instead of hacking around this bug by exporting epoll internals to modules, and probably missing other related bugs, just remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl and see if anyone actually notices. Leave a stub in place that prints a one-time warning and returns EINVAL.

2018-10-03mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulationKirill A. Shutemov1-4/+3
commit c8d78c1823f46519473949d33f0d1d33fe21ea16 upstream. remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database workloads. Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available. Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code. The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent one. I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test emulation impact on. I've checked Debian code search and source of all packages in ALT Linux. No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff. There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall. They work just fine with emulation. To test performance impact, I've written small test case which demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order, read every page. The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM.
