Laurent Dufour 728a43dfff mm: protect mremap() against SPF hanlder
If a thread is remapping an area while another one is faulting on the
destination area, the SPF handler may fetch the vma from the RB tree before
the pte has been moved by the other thread. This means that the moved ptes
will overwrite those create by the page fault handler leading to page
leaked.

	CPU 1				CPU2
	enter mremap()
	unmap the dest area
	copy_vma()			Enter speculative page fault handler
	   >> at this time the dest area is present in the RB tree
					fetch the vma matching dest area
					create a pte as the VMA matched
					Exit the SPF handler
					<data written in the new page>
	move_ptes()
	  > it is assumed that the dest area is empty,
 	  > the move ptes overwrite the page mapped by the CPU2.

To prevent that, when the VMA matching the dest area is extended or created
by copy_vma(), it should be marked as non available to the SPF handler.
The usual way to so is to rely on vm_write_begin()/end().
This is already in __vma_adjust() called by copy_vma() (through
vma_merge()). But __vma_adjust() is calling vm_write_end() before returning
which create a window for another thread.
This patch adds a new parameter to vma_merge() which is passed down to
vma_adjust().
The assumption is that copy_vma() is returning a vma which should be
released by calling vm_raw_write_end() by the callee once the ptes have
been moved.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
    - then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
