ad361c9884 Remove multiple KERN_ prefixes from printk formats
Commit 5fd29d6ccb ("printk: clean up
handling of log-levels and newlines") changed printk semantics.  printk
lines with multiple KERN_<level> prefixes are no longer emitted as
before the patch.

<level> is now included in the output on each additional use.

Remove all uses of multiple KERN_<level>s in formats.

d06063cc22 Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers
This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault().  All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

5dfaf90f80 x86: mm: Read cr2 before prefetching the mmap_lock
Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain
models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped
and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve
them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault.

There is one small path of code where we must not take faults
though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading
of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there
then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching
instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or
kernel-space pagefaults.

It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that:

	prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem);

	/* Get the faulting address: */
	address = read_cr2();

This is not good.

So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch
the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so
delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue
performance-wise.

[ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes
  occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have -
  which does have such prefetch problems. ]

f85612967c x86: add hooks for kmemcheck
The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
  the instruction that caused the page fault)

Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.

(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)

As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

but in the future power might as well for some events.

cd1b68f08f x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUS
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit

Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(),
which we only do on 32 bits.

This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth
giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our
existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious
fault.

The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case
we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on
32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice.

So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef.

1cc99544dd x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handling
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit

Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
oops.

It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
end of pagefault triggered oopses:

 	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
digital-camera jpegs ;-)

The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
function a lot nicer read.

121d5d0a7e x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit too
Impact: improve page fault handling robustness

The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a
relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault()
implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU
detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory
entries.

Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault()
to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more
informative oops and the pagetables.

This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves
the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases
the 32-bit kernel text size.

3c3e5694ad x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handler
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions

If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access,
but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault
as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of:

 fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault

This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions
but the PMD does not.

92181f190b x86: optimise x86's do_page_fault (C entry point for the page fault path)
Impact: cleanup, restructure code to improve assembly

gcc isn't _all_ that smart about spilling registers to stack or reusing
stack slots, even with branch annotations. do_page_fault contained a lot
of functionality, so split unlikely paths into their own functions, and
mark them as noinline just to be sure. I consider this actually to be
somewhat of a cleanup too: the main function now contains about half
the number of lines so the normal path is easier to read, while the error
cases are also nicely split away.

Also, ensure the order of arguments to functions is always the same: regs,
addr, error_code. This can reduce code size a tiny bit, and just looks neater
too.

And add a couple of branch annotations.

Before:
  do_page_fault:
          subq    $360, %rsp      #,

After:
  do_page_fault:
          subq    $56, %rsp       #,

Yes, the total size increases by 542 bytes, due to the extra function calls.
But these will very rarely be called (except for vmalloc_fault) in a normal
workload. Importantly, do_page_fault is less than 1/3rd it's original size,
and touches far less stack.

Existing gotos and branch hints did move a lot of the infrequently used text
out of the fastpath, but that's even further improved after this patch.

f313e12308 x86: avoid theoretical vmalloc fault loop
Ajith Kumar noticed:

 I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
 about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.

 pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
 pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);

 Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
 and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
 However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
 pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
 returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
 of which the kernel thread has faulted.  This could lead to never-ending
 faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush.  So, shouldn't the
 pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
 pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);

We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

1c0fe6e3bd mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault
Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Only converted x86 and uml so far.
