Assert that we correctly merge VMAs containing VM_SOFTDIRTY flags now that
we correctly handle these as sticky.
In order to do so, we have to account for the fact the pagemap interface
checks soft dirty PTEs and additionally that newly merged VMAs are marked
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We do this by using use unfaulted anon VMAs, establishing one and clearing
references on that one, before establishing another and merging the two
before checking that soft-dirty is propagated as expected.
We check that this functions correctly with mremap() and mprotect() as
sample cases, because VMA merge of adjacent newly mapped VMAs will
automatically be made soft-dirty due to existing logic which does so.
We are therefore exercising other means of merging VMAs.

Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.
This patch (of 2):
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.
Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.
Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

Patch series "vma_start_write_killable"", v2.
When we added the VMA lock, we made a major oversight in not adding a
killable variant. That can run us into trouble where a thread takes the
VMA lock for read (eg handling a page fault) and then goes out to lunch
for an hour (eg doing reclaim). Another thread tries to modify the VMA,
taking the mmap_lock for write, then attempts to lock the VMA for write.
That blocks on the first thread, and ensures that every other page fault
now tries to take the mmap_lock for read. Because everything's in an
uninterruptible sleep, we can't kill the task, which makes me angry.
This patchset just adds vma_start_write_killable() and converts one caller
to use it. Most users are somewhat tricky to convert, so expect follow-up
individual patches per call-site which need careful analysis to make sure
we've done proper cleanup.
This patch (of 2):
The vma can be held read-locked for a substantial period of time, eg if
memory allocation needs to go into reclaim. It's useful to be able to
send fatal signals to threads which are waiting for the write lock.

It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that
is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without,
the merged VMA sets this flag.
As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag
differences between VMAs being considered for merge.
This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action,
with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY
bitmap.
Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are
described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also
updated to use.
As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it
already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by
implication must not disallow merge.
Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its
own right, but this change is out of scope for this series.
The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result
of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation,
VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as
a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD
set.
Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference
sticky flags now we have established the concept.
We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4.
Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through
/proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level.
This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which
VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions
which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU.
This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag
which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for
these.
The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set
(we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if
not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present.
It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because
that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with
adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason.
To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky'
VMA flags - that is flags which:
a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be
merged (if otherwise compatible).
b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set.
The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly.
Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve
an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an
anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy()
correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes.
We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only
specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly
for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves
this issue.
Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be
atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held.
The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure
does not cause any races by being allowed to do so.
This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked
operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here.
Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the
sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to
assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a
range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might
have guard regions).
Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to
pagemap") and the related commit a516403787 ("fs/proc: extend the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either
/proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this
operation at a virtual address level.
This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level
that guard regions exist in ranges.
This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag,
VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is
uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and
additionally VMAs may change across merge/split).
We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit
architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which
was removed in commit 8d0920bde5 ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't
bee reused yet.
We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs.
Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify
that we ought to copy page tables on fork.
We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we
need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read
lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

Sometimes VMs will have some intermittent dmesg warnings that are
unrelated to vsock. Change the dmesg parsing to filter on strings
containing 'vsock' to avoid false positive failures that are unrelated
to vsock. The downside is that it is possible for some vsock related
warnings to not contain the substring 'vsock', so those will be missed.

The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a
Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path
correctly handles IPv6 extension headers.
However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the
Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail
in environments where such network elements are present.
To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse
network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to
IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options).
The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by
intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test:
validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change
ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly
failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.
