[PATCH v10] mm, hugetlbfs: Allow for "high" userspace addresses

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Fri Apr 15 2022 - 10:45:49 EST


This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function.
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). To allow that, move those two macros
out of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

>From Catalin (ARM64):
We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we
added support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to
prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default
as some user-space had hard assumptions about this.

It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current
behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.

Resending the patch as standalone so that is can be merged via mm tree in 5.18 and stable.

v10:
- Moved as first patch of the series so that it can be applied
separately as a flag and be easily applied back on stable.
- Added text from Catalin explaining why it is a fixup.
