uaccess: Introduce ucopysize.h

The object size sanity checking macros that uaccess.h and uio.h use
have been living in thread_info.h for historical reasons. Needing to
use jump labels for these checks, however, introduces a header include
loop under certain conditions. The dependencies for the object checking
macros are very limited, but they are used by separate header files,
so introduce a new header that can be used directly by uaccess.h and
uio.h. As a result, this also means thread_info.h (which is rather large)
and be removed from those headers.

mm: Define struct folio_queue and ITER_FOLIOQ to handle a sequence of folios

Define a data structure, struct folio_queue, to represent a sequence of
folios and a kernel-internal I/O iterator type, ITER_FOLIOQ, to allow a
list of folio_queue structures to be used to provide a buffer to
iov_iter-taking functions, such as sendmsg and recvmsg.

The folio_queue structure looks like:

struct folio_queue {
struct folio_batch vec;
u8 orders[PAGEVEC_SIZE];
struct folio_queue *next;
struct folio_queue *prev;
unsigned long marks;
unsigned long marks2;
};

It does not use a list_head so that next and/or prev can be set to NULL at
the ends of the list, allowing iov_iter-handling routines to determine that
they *are* the ends without needing to store a head pointer in the iov_iter
struct.

A folio_batch struct is used to hold the folio pointers which allows the
batch to be passed to batch handling functions. Two mark bits are
available per slot. The intention is to use at least one of them to mark
folios that need putting, but that might not be ultimately necessary.
Accessor functions are used to access the slots to do the masking and an
additional accessor function is used to indicate the size of the array.

The order of each folio is also stored in the structure to avoid the need
for iov_iter_advance() and iov_iter_revert() to have to query each folio to
find its size.

With careful barriering, this can be used as an extending buffer with new
folios inserted and new folio_queue structs added without the need for a
lock. Further, provided we always keep at least one struct in the buffer,
we can also remove consumed folios and consumed structs from the head end
as we without the need for locks.

[Questions/thoughts]

(1) To manage this, I need a head pointer, a tail pointer, a tail slot
number (assuming insertion happens at the tail end and the next
pointers point from head to tail). Should I put these into a struct
of their own, say "folio_queue_head" or "rolling_buffer"?

I will end up with two of these in netfs_io_request eventually, one
keeping track of the pagecache I'm dealing with for buffered I/O and
the other to hold a bounce buffer when we need one.

(2) Should I make the slots {folio,off,len} or bio_vec?

(3) This is intended to replace ITER_XARRAY eventually. Using an xarray
in I/O iteration requires the taking of the RCU read lock, doing
copying under the RCU read lock, walking the xarray (which may change
under us), handling retries and dealing with special values.

The advantage of ITER_XARRAY is that when we're dealing with the
pagecache directly, we don't need any allocation - but if we're doing
encrypted comms, there's a good chance we'd be using a bounce buffer
anyway.

This will require afs, erofs, cifs, orangefs and fscache to be
converted to not use this. afs still uses it for dirs and symlinks;
some of erofs usages should be easy to change, but there's one which
won't be so easy; ceph's use via fscache can be fixed by porting ceph
to netfslib; cifs is using xarray as a bounce buffer - that can be
moved to use sheaves instead; and orangefs has a similar problem to
erofs - maybe orangefs could use netfslib?

iov_iter: get rid of 'copy_mc' flag

This flag is only set by one single user: the magical core dumping code
that looks up user pages one by one, and then writes them out using
their kernel addresses

iov_iter: get rid of 'copy_mc' flag

This flag is only set by one single user: the magical core dumping code
that looks up user pages one by one, and then writes them out using
their kernel addresses (by using a BVEC_ITER).

That actually ends up being a huge problem, because while we do use
copy_mc_to_kernel() for this case and it is able to handle the possible
machine checks involved, nothing else is really ready to handle the
failures caused by the machine check.

In particular, as reported by Tong Tiangen, we don't actually support
fault_in_iov_iter_readable() on a machine check area.

As a result, the usual logic for writing things to a file under a
filesystem lock, which involves doing a copy with page faults disabled
and then if that fails trying to fault pages in without holding the
locks with fault_in_iov_iter_readable() does not work at all.

We could decide to always just make the MC copy "succeed" (and filling
the destination with zeroes), and that would then create a core dump
file that just ignores any machine checks.

But honestly, this single special case has been problematic before, and
means that all the normal iov_iter code ends up slightly more complex
and slower.

See for example commit c9eec08bac96 ("iov_iter: Don't deal with
iter->copy_mc in memcpy_from_iter_mc()") where David Howells
re-organized the code just to avoid having to check the 'copy_mc' flags
inside the inner iov_iter loops.

So considering that we have exactly one user, and that one user is a
non-critical special case that doesn't actually ever trigger in real
life (Tong found this with manual error injection), the sane solution is
to just decide that the onus on handling the machine check lines on that
user instead.

Ergo, do the copy_mc_to_kernel() in the core dump logic itself, copying
the user data to a stable kernel page before writing it out.

Generally, the '->write_iter' of file ops will use copy_page_from_iter()
and copy_page_from_iter_atomic(), change memcpy() to copy_mc_to_kernel()
in both of them to handle #MC during source read, which stop coredump
processing and kill the task instead of kernel panic, but the source
address may not always a user address, so introduce a new copy_mc flag in
struct iov_iter{} to indicate that the iter could do a safe memory copy,
also introduce the helpers to set/cleck the flag, for now, it's only used
in coredump's dump_user_range(), but it could expand to any other
scenarios to fix the similar issue.

iov_iter: add copy_page_to_iter_nofault()

Provide a means to copy a page to user space from an iterator, aborting if
a page fault would occur. This supports compound pages, but may be passed
a tail page with an offset extending further into the compound page, so we
cannot pass a folio.

This allows for this function to be called from atomic context and _try_
to user pages if they are faulted in, aborting if not.

The function does not use _copy_to_iter() in order to not specify
might_fault(), this is similar to copy_page_from_iter_atomic().

This is being added in order that an iteratable form of vread() can be
implemented while holding spinlocks.

iov_iter: overlay struct iovec and ubuf/len

Add an internal struct iovec that we can return as a pointer, with the
fields of the iovec overlapping with the ITER_UBUF ubuf and length
fields.

Then we can have iter_iov() check for the appropriate type, and return
&iter->__ubuf_iovec for ITER_UBUF and iter->__iov for ITER_IOVEC and
things will magically work out for a single segment request regardless
of either type.

iov_iter: add iter_iovec() helper

This returns a pointer to the current iovec entry in the iterator. Only
useful with ITER_IOVEC right now, but it prepares us to treat ITER_UBUF
and ITER_IOVEC identically for the first segment.

Rename struct iov_iter->iov to iov_iter->__iov to find any potentially
troublesome spots, and also to prevent anyone from adding new code that
accesses iter->iov directly.

an iterator. The pages may be returned with a pin added or

iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator

Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from
an iterator. The pages may be returned with a pin added or nothing,
depending on the type of iterator.

Add a second function, iov_iter_extract_will_pin(), to determine how the
cleanup should be done.

There are two cases:

(1) ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

Extracted pages will have pins (FOLL_PIN) obtained on them so that a
concurrent fork() will forcibly copy the page so that DMA is done
to/from the parent's buffer and is unavailable to/unaffected by the
child process.

iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return true for this case. The
caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the
page.

(2) Any other sort of iterator.

No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that
the caller will manage page retention.

iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return false. The pages don't need
additional disposal.
