The patch titled Subject: proc: use untagged_addr() for pagemap_read addresses has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc-use-untagged_addr-for-pagemap_read-addresses.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: use untagged_addr() for pagemap_read addresses When we try to visit the pagemap of a tagged userspace pointer, we find that the start_vaddr is not correct because of the tag. To fix it, we should untag the userspace pointers in pagemap_read(). I tested with 5.10-rc4 and the issue remains. Explanation from Catalin in [1]: :Arguably, that's a user-space bug since tagged file offsets were never :supported. In this case it's not even a tag at bit 56 as per the arm64 :tagged address ABI but rather down to bit 47. You could say that the :problem is caused by the C library (malloc()) or whoever created the :tagged vaddr and passed it to this function. It's not a kernel :regression as we've never supported it. : :Now, pagemap is a special case where the offset is usually not generated :as a classic file offset but rather derived by shifting a user virtual :address. I guess we can make a concession for pagemap (only) and allow :such offset with the tag at bit (56 - PAGE_SHIFT + 3). My test code is based on [2]: A userspace pointer which has been tagged by 0xb4: 0xb400007662f541c8 === userspace program === uint64 OsLayer::VirtualToPhysical(void *vaddr) { uint64 frame, paddr, pfnmask, pagemask; int pagesize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); off64_t off = ((uintptr_t)vaddr) / pagesize * 8; // off = 0xb400007662f541c8 / pagesize * 8 = 0x5a00003b317aa0 int fd = open(kPagemapPath, O_RDONLY); ... if (lseek64(fd, off, SEEK_SET) != off || read(fd, &frame, 8) != 8) { int err = errno; string errtxt = ErrorString(err); if (fd >= 0) close(fd); return 0; } ... } === kernel fs/proc/task_mmu.c === static ssize_t pagemap_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos) { ... src = *ppos; svpfn = src / PM_ENTRY_BYTES; // svpfn == 0xb400007662f54 start_vaddr = svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT; // start_vaddr == 0xb400007662f54000 end_vaddr = mm->task_size; /* watch out for wraparound */ // svpfn == 0xb400007662f54 // (mm->task_size >> PAGE) == 0x8000000 if (svpfn > mm->task_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) // the condition is true because of the tag 0xb4 start_vaddr = end_vaddr; ret = 0; while (count && (start_vaddr < end_vaddr)) { // we cannot visit correct entry because start_vaddr is set to end_vaddr int len; unsigned long end; ... } ... } [1] https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1343258/ [2] https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest/blob/master/src/os.cc#L158 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201204024347.8295-1-miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Eric W.
