Linus Torvalds d6a5c7a1a6 mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper
commit c2508ec5a58db67093f4fb8bf89a9a7c53a109e9 upstream.

.. and make x86 use it.

This basically extracts the existing x86 "find and expand faulting vma"
code, but extends it to also take the mmap lock for writing in case we
actually do need to expand the vma.

We've historically short-circuited that case, and have some rather ugly
special logic to serialize the stack segment expansion (since we only
hold the mmap lock for reading) that doesn't match the normal VM
locking.

That slight violation of locking worked well, right up until it didn't:
the maple tree code really does want proper locking even for simple
extension of an existing vma.

So extract the code for "look up the vma of the fault" from x86, fix it
up to do the necessary write locking, and make it available as a helper
function for other architectures that can use the common helper.

Note: I say "common helper", but it really only handles the normal
stack-grows-down case.  Which is all architectures except for PA-RISC
and IA64.  So some rare architectures can't use the helper, but if they
care they'll just need to open-code this logic.

It's also worth pointing out that this code really would like to have an
optimistic "mmap_upgrade_trylock()" to make it quicker to go from a
read-lock (for the common case) to taking the write lock (for having to
extend the vma) in the normal single-threaded situation where there is
no other locking activity.

But that _is_ all the very uncommon special case, so while it would be
nice to have such an operation, it probably doesn't matter in reality.
I did put in the skeleton code for such a possible future expansion,
even if it only acts as pseudo-documentation for what we're doing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
