Alexei Starovoitov b90d77e5fd bpf: Fix remap of arena.
The bpf arena logic didn't account for mremap operation. Add a refcnt for
multiple mmap events to prevent use-after-free in arena_vm_close.

Fixes: 317460317a ("bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.")

Linus Torvalds 61307b7be4 The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.  Notable
 series include:
 
 - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping
   cleanup/consolidation/maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide:

   test.

   /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being allocated:
   number of calls and amount of memory.

Haiyue Wang 75b0fbf15d bpf: Remove redundant page mask of vmf->address
As the comment described in "struct vm_fault":
	".address"      : 'Faulting virtual address - masked'
	".real_address" : 'Faulting virtual address - unmasked'

The link [1] said: "Whatever the routes, all architectures end up to the
invocation of handle_mm_fault() which, in turn, (likely) ends up calling
__handle_mm_fault() to carry out the actual work of allocating the page
tables."

  __handle_mm_fault() does address assignment:
	.address = address & PAGE_MASK,
	.real_address = address,

This is debug dump by running `./test_progs -a "*arena*"`:

[   69.767494] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001d000, vmf->real_address = 10000001d008
[   69.767496] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001c000, vmf->real_address = 10000001c008
[   69.767499] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001b000, vmf->real_address = 10000001b008
[   69.767501] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001a000, vmf->real_address = 10000001a008
[   69.767504] arena fault: vmf->address = 100000019000, vmf->real_address = 100000019008
[   69.769388] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001e000, vmf->real_address = 10000001e1e8

So we can use the value of 'vmf->address' to do BPF arena kernel address
space cast directly.

Rick Edgecombe 529ce23a76 mm: switch mm->get_unmapped_area() to a flag
The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.

Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required.  In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments.  So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.

Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags().  Most MM flags get clobbered on fork.  In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.

Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag.  Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer.  Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone.  The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.

The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel.  On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.

In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. 
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

Alexei Starovoitov 317460317a bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.
Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.

Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
   anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
   program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
   a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
   tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
   The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
   to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.

Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.

bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.

Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX->type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX->type =
unknown scalar. If arena->map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
  rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena->user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */

After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.
