[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/5] vmalloc: introduce execmem_alloc, execmem_free, and execmem_fill

[Song Liu <song@kernel.org>]

execmem_alloc is used to allocate memory to host dynamic kernel text
(modules, BPF programs, etc.) with huge pages. This is similar to the
proposal by Peter in [1].

A new tree of vmap_area, free_text_area_* tree, is introduced in addition
to free_vmap_area_* and vmap_area_*. execmem_alloc allocates pages from
free_text_area_*. When there isn't enough space left in free_text_area_*,
new PMD_SIZE page(s) is allocated from free_vmap_area_* and added to
free_text_area_*. To be more accurate, the vmap_area is first added to
vmap_area_* tree and then moved to free_text_area_*. This extra move
simplifies the logic of execmem_alloc.

vmap_area in free_text_area_* tree are backed with memory, but we need
subtree_max_size for tree operations. Therefore, vm_struct for these
vmap_area are stored in a separate list, all_text_vm.

The new tree allows separate handling of < PAGE_SIZE allocations, as
current vmalloc code mostly assumes PAGE_SIZE aligned allocations. This
version of execmem_alloc can handle bpf programs, which uses 64 byte
aligned allocations), and modules, which uses PAGE_SIZE aligned
allocations.

Memory allocated by execmem_alloc() is set to RO+X before returning to the
caller. Therefore, the caller cannot write directly write to the memory.
Instead, the caller is required to use execmem_fill() to update the memory.
For the safety and security of X memory, execmem_fill() checks the data
being updated always in the memory allocated by one execmem_alloc() call.
execmem_fill() uses text_poke like mechanism and requires arch support.
Specifically, the arch need to implement arch_execmem_fill().

In execmem_free(), the memory is first erased with arch_invalidate_exec().
Then, the memory is added to free_text_area_*. If this free creates big
enough continuous free space (> PMD_SIZE), execmem_free() will try to free
the backing vm_struct.
