[RFC] mm: Generalize notify_page_fault()

[Anshuman Khandual]

Similar notify_page_fault() definitions are being used by architectures
duplicating much of the same code. This attempts to unify them into a
single implementation, generalize it and then move it to a common place.
kprobes_built_in() can detect CONFIG_KPROBES, hence notify_page_fault()
must not be wrapped again within CONFIG_KPROBES. Trap number argument can
now contain upto an 'unsigned int' accommodating all possible platforms.

[RFC] mm: Generalize notify_page_fault()

[Anshuman Khandual]

Similar notify_page_fault() definitions are being used by architectures
duplicating much of the same code. This attempts to unify them into a
single implementation, generalize it and then move it to a common place.
kprobes_built_in() can detect CONFIG_KPROBES, hence notify_page_fault()
must not be wrapped again within CONFIG_KPROBES. Trap number argument can
now contain upto an 'unsigned int' accommodating all possible platforms.

This is a funny quirk of the English language.  "must not" means "is not
allowed to be", not "does not have to be".

Comparing this to the canonical implementation (ie x86), it looks similar.

static nokprobe_inline int kprobes_fault(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        if (!kprobes_built_in())
                return 0;
        if (user_mode(regs))
                return 0;
        /*
         * To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to be allowed to call
         * kprobe_running(), we have to be non-preemptible.
         */
        if (preemptible())
                return 0;
        if (!kprobe_running())
                return 0;
        return kprobe_fault_handler(regs, X86_TRAP_PF);
}

The two handle preemption differently.  Why is x86 wrong and this one
correct?

Here it expects context to be already non-preemptible where as the proposed
generic function makes it non-preemptible with a preempt_[disable|enable]()
pair for the required code section, irrespective of it's present state. Is
not this better ?

Are you referring to these following commits

a980c0ef9f6d ("x86/kprobes: Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()")
b506a9d08bae ("x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code")

In particular the later one (b506a9d08bae). It explains how the invoking context
in itself should be non-preemptible for the kprobes processing context irrespective
of whether kprobe_running() or perhaps smp_processor_id() is safe or not. Hence it
does not make much sense to continue when original invoking context is preemptible.
Instead just bail out earlier. This seems to be making more sense than preempt
disable-enable pair. If there are no concerns about this change from other platforms,
I will change the preemption behavior in proposed generic function next time around.

Exactly.

So, any of the arch maintainers know of a reason they behave differently
from x86 in this regard?  Or can Anshuman use the x86 implementation
for all the architectures supporting kprobes?

So the generic notify_page_fault() will be like this.

int __kprobes notify_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int trap)
{
        int ret = 0;

        /*
         * To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to be allowed
         * to call kprobe_running(), we have to be non-preemptible.
         */
        if (kprobes_built_in() && !preemptible() && !user_mode(regs)) {
                if (kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(regs, trap))
                        ret = 1;
        }
        return ret;
}
