mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix memory loads ordering

Using x86_64 as an example, for a 32KB struct page[] area describing a 2MB
hugeTLB, HVO reduces the area to 4KB by the following steps:

1. Split the (r/w vmemmap) PMD mapping the area into 512 (r/w) PTEs;
2. For the 8 PTEs mapping the area, remap PTE 1-7 to the page mapped
by PTE 0, and at the same time change the permission from r/w to
r/o;
3. Free the pages PTE 1-7 used to map, hence the reduction from 32KB
to 4KB.

However, the following race can happen due to improperly memory loads
ordering:
CPU 1 (HVO) CPU 2 (speculative PFN walker)

page_ref_freeze()
synchronize_rcu()
rcu_read_lock()
page_is_fake_head() is false
vmemmap_remap_pte()
XXX: struct page[] becomes r/o

page_ref_unfreeze()
page_ref_count() is not zero

atomic_add_unless(&page->_refcount)
XXX: try to modify r/o struct page[]

Specifically, page_is_fake_head() must be ordered after page_ref_count()
on CPU 2 so that it can only return true for this case, to avoid the later
attempt to modify r/o struct page[].

This patch adds the missing memory barrier and makes the tests on
page_is_fake_head() and page_ref_count() done in the proper order.

mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN walkers

While investigating HVO for THPs [1], it turns out that speculative PFN
walkers like compaction can race with vmemmap modifications, e.g.,

mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN walkers

While investigating HVO for THPs [1], it turns out that speculative PFN
walkers like compaction can race with vmemmap modifications, e.g.,

CPU 1 (vmemmap modifier) CPU 2 (speculative PFN walker)
------------------------------- ------------------------------
Allocates an LRU folio page1
Sees page1
Frees page1

Allocates a hugeTLB folio page2
(page1 being a tail of page2)

Updates vmemmap mapping page1
get_page_unless_zero(page1)

Even though page1->_refcount is zero after HVO, get_page_unless_zero() can
still try to modify this read-only field, resulting in a crash.

An independent report [2] confirmed this race.

There are two discussed approaches to fix this race:
1. Make RO vmemmap RW so that get_page_unless_zero() can fail without
triggering a PF.
2. Use RCU to make sure get_page_unless_zero() either sees zero
page->_refcount through the old vmemmap or non-zero page->_refcount
through the new one.

The second approach is preferred here because:
1. It can prevent illegal modifications to struct page[] that has been
HVO'ed;
2. It can be generalized, in a way similar to ZERO_PAGE(), to fix
similar races in other places, e.g., arch_remove_memory() on x86
[3], which frees vmemmap mapping offlined struct page[].

While adding synchronize_rcu(), the goal is to be surgical, rather than
optimized. Specifically, calls to synchronize_rcu() on the error handling
paths can be coalesced, but it is not done for the sake of Simplicity:
noticeably, this fix removes ~50% more lines than it adds.

According to the hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap section in
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst, enabling HVO makes allocating or
freeing hugeTLB pages "~2x slower than before". Having synchronize_rcu()
on top makes those operations even worse, and this also affects the user
interface /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages.

This is *very* hard to trigger:

1. Most hugeTLB use cases I know of are static, i.e., reserved at
boot time, because allocating at runtime is not reliable at all.

2. On top of that, someone has to be very unlucky to get tripped
over above, because the race window is so small -- I wasn't able to
trigger it with a stress testing that does nothing but that (with
THPs though).

This BUG is the VM_BUG_ON(!in_atomic() && !irqs_disabled()) assertion in
folio_ref_try_add_rcu() for non-SMP kernel.

The process_vm_readv() calls GUP to pin the THP. An optimization for
pinning THP instroduced by commit 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp
gup even for "pages != NULL"") calls try_grab_folio() to pin the THP,
but try_grab_folio() is supposed to be called in atomic context for
non-SMP kernel, for example, irq disabled or preemption disabled, due to
the optimization introduced by commit e286781d5f2e ("mm: speculative
page references").

The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") is not actually the root cause although it was bisected to.
It just makes the problem exposed more likely.

The follow up discussion suggested the optimization for non-SMP kernel
may be out-dated and not worth it anymore [1]. So removing the
optimization to silence the BUG.

However calling try_grab_folio() in GUP slow path actually is
unnecessary, so the following patch will clean this up.

An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from a
page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little
different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the page
ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other routines
that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as 1-based
refcounting.

Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts atomically,
and returns an atomic snapshot of the result.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

include/linux/page_ref.h: ensure page_ref_unfreeze is ordered against prior accesses

page_ref_freeze and page_ref_unfreeze are designed to be used as a pair,
wrapping a critical section where struct pages can be modified without
having to worry about consistency for a concurrent fast-GUP.

Whilst page_ref_freeze has full barrier semantics due to its use of
atomic_cmpxchg, page_ref_unfreeze is implemented using atomic_set, which
doesn't provide any barrier semantics and allows the operation to be
reordered with respect to page modifications in the critical section.

This patch ensures that page_ref_unfreeze is ordered after any critical
section updates, by invoking smp_mb() prior to the atomic_set.

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation

CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.

This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path, to
improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered
and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be
possible and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.

Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

Note that, due to header file dependency problem between mm.h and
tracepoint.h, this feature has to open code the static key functions for
tracepoints. Proposed by Steven Rostedt in following link.

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).
