Looks like VMA's do not get merged properly:

I remember some issue with VM_IO VMAs not getting merged, but I don't
remember how we fixed or addressed it.
Seems like something we can and should fix, though.

Access pattern here is series of small adjacent mmaps (brk()).
During upstreaming vma_close callback was eliminated to allow VMA's getting
merged. I'll try to trace the condition in the call path triggering this.

I wrote a small bpftrace script:
#include <linux/fs.h>
k:vma_merge
/strncmp(str(((struct vm_area_struct *)arg1)->vm_file->f_path.dentry->d_name.name), "sgx_enclave", 11) == 0/
{
@merge[tid] = true;
}
kr:vma_merge /@merge[tid] && retval > 0/
{
@merged = count();
delete(@merge[tid]);
}
kr:vma_merge /@merge[tid]/
{
@unmerged = count();
delete(@merge[tid]);
}
When running with the same payload, I get:
@merged: 0
@unmerged: 209
So it gets down to vma_merge but each time the function returns NULL.

int main(void)

addr = mmap((void *)secs.base, ENCL_SIZE / 2, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, fd, 0);

dump_maps();

}
It creates two RW VMA's:
1. 8 MB VMA.
2. Another 8 MB VMA that overlaps the first by 4 MB.
Expected result ought to be 12 MB RW VMA.
Then I wrote a another eBPF script:
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>
k:vma_merge
/strncmp(str(((struct vm_area_struct *)arg1)->vm_file->f_path.dentry->d_name.name), "sgx_enclave", 11) == 0/
{
@merge[tid] = true;
}
kr:vma_merge /@merge[tid]/
{
printf("vma_merge: retval = %d\n", retval);
}
k:__vma_adjust
/strncmp(str(((struct vm_area_struct *)arg0)->vm_file->f_path.dentry->d_name.name), "sgx_enclave", 11) == 0/
{
@adjust[tid] = true;
}
kr:__vma_adjust /@adjust[tid]/
{
printf("__vma_adjust: retval = %d\n", retval);
}
kr:__mpol_equal
{
printf("__mpol_equal: retval = %d\n", retval);
}
This gives me:
$ sudo bpftrace sgx-vma-merged.bt
Attaching 5 probes...
__vma_adjust: retval = 0
__vma_adjust: retval = 0
vma_merge: retval = 0
vma_merge: retval = 0
vma_merge: retval = 0
Two __vma_adjust() calls are result of mapping enclave VMA on top
of anonymous VMA. __vma_adjust() is never reached when overlapping
VMA is mapped.
Another noworthy thing is that mpol_equal() is never reached, and
the condition in vma_merge is like this:
if (prev && prev->vm_end == addr &&
mpol_equal(vma_policy(prev), policy) &&
can_vma_merge_after(prev, vm_flags,
anon_vma, file, pgoff,
vm_userfaultfd_ctx, anon_name)) {
So this led to the obvious fact: it's the VM_SPECIAL check in the
beginning of the vma_merge() function.
I found at least this old ref on removing the close callback:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/20190708145707.GC20433@linux.intel.com/
So I guess we did not take this VM_SPECIAL check in the account...
On bright side: this can be obviously worked around in the
user space. E.g. in "brk()" you do mmap() over the whole
new VMA instead of the new subportion of it, and so forth.
And all in all the whole merging thing can be worked around
in the user space. So it's not a dead end but still would
be nice to have kernel to do this automatically.
Dave: so my question is this: can VM_SPECIAL check be
relaxed somehow, or should it be just documented that
enclave VMAs do not get merged?
Anyway, if this was a blocker for getting SGX2 patches to
5.19, it should not be. I did all the research with
my i5-9600KF desktop, which is oddbal CPU with flexible
launch control, and no SGX2. Neither was any SGX2 patches
applied.

The special check feels a bit odd for me, given that
1. It's hard to imagine anything that would not be "special", and
still would implement vma_close(). I presume that something
like this exists. Just cannot make up anything.
2. On the other hand, is_mergeable_vma() pretty much sets the
constraints to merge to VMA's into one. Most importantly
it checks that vm_close() is not implemented and VMA's
map the same file.
