Kernel for Galaxy S24, rebased on CLO sources (WIP)

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fix write-fault handling for shared mappings", v2.
I observed that hugetlb does not support/expect write-faults in shared
mappings that would have to map the R/O-mapped page writable -- and I
found two case where we could currently get such faults and would
erroneously map an anon page into a shared mapping.
Reproducers part of the patches.
I propose to backport both fixes to stable trees. The first fix needs a
small adjustment.
This patch (of 2):
Staring at hugetlb_wp(), one might wonder where all the logic for shared
mappings is when stumbling over a write-protected page in a shared
mapping. In fact, there is none, and so far we thought we could get away
with that because e.g., mprotect() should always do the right thing and
map all pages directly writable.
Looks like we were wrong:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define HUGETLB_SIZE (2 * 1024 * 1024u)
static void clear_softdirty(void)
{
int fd = open("/proc/self/clear_refs", O_WRONLY);
const char *ctrl = "4";
int ret;
if (fd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "open(clear_refs) failed\n");
exit(1);
}
ret = write(fd, ctrl, strlen(ctrl));
if (ret != strlen(ctrl)) {
fprintf(stderr, "write(clear_refs) failed\n");
exit(1);
}
close(fd);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *map;
int fd;
fd = open("/dev/hugepages/tmp", O_RDWR | O_CREAT);
if (!fd) {
fprintf(stderr, "open() failed\n");
return -errno;
}
if (ftruncate(fd, HUGETLB_SIZE)) {
fprintf(stderr, "ftruncate() failed\n");
return -errno;
}
map = mmap(NULL, HUGETLB_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (map == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed\n");
return -errno;
}
*map = 0;
if (mprotect(map, HUGETLB_SIZE, PROT_READ)) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmprotect() failed\n");
return -errno;
}
clear_softdirty();
if (mprotect(map, HUGETLB_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmprotect() failed\n");
return -errno;
}
*map = 0;
return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Above test fails with SIGBUS when there is only a single free hugetlb page.
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# ./test
Bus error (core dumped)
And worse, with sufficient free hugetlb pages it will map an anonymous page
into a shared mapping, for example, messing up accounting during unmap
and breaking MAP_SHARED semantics:
# echo 2 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# ./test
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep HugePages_
HugePages_Total: 2
HugePages_Free: 1
HugePages_Rsvd: 18446744073709551615
HugePages_Surp: 0
Reason in this particular case is that vma_wants_writenotify() will
return "true", removing VM_SHARED in vma_set_page_prot() to map pages
write-protected. Let's teach vma_wants_writenotify() that hugetlb does not
support softdirty tracking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
