While converting drm_[cm]alloc* helpers to kvmalloc* variants Chris
Wilson has wondered why we want to try kmalloc before vmalloc fallback
even for larger allocations requests. Let's clarify that one larger
physically contiguous block is less likely to fragment memory than many
scattered pages which can prevent more large blocks from being created.

Commit 1f5307b1e0 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has
pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that
turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails

Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary.
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e0 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user
(kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and
provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really
need any games with header files.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

vhost code uses __GFP_REPEAT when allocating vhost_virtqueue resp.
vhost_vsock because it would really like to prefer kmalloc to the
vmalloc fallback - see 23cc5a991c ("vhost-net: extend device
allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also
noted:
"__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means
all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses
are."
The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users.
Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are
two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM
killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly
override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is
ignored for !costly orders.
Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it
would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of
this patch.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

Naive approach: on mapping/unmapping the page as compound we update

how we can optimize this. We can look into optimization later.
PG_double_map optimization doesn't work for file pages since lifecycle
of file pages is different comparing to anon pages: file page can be
mapped again at any time.

We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.
So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.
If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.
1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);
What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.
Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.
2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);
After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.
Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.
3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.
4. non-lru movable page flags
There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.
* PG_movable
Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.
void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)
It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.
#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;
so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.
For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.
For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.
Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.
* PG_isolated
To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and
bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can
change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if
the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem. This also
means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the
additional parameter.
This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck
waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper
which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and
reclaim the address space of the victim.
Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for
current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a
problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to
the userspace if we got killed.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.
Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.
As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).
This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.

This patch (of 18):
This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable. It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.
Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.
The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.
vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

The concept here was a suggestion from Ingo. The implementation
horrors are all mine.
This allows get_user_pages(), get_user_pages_unlocked(), and
get_user_pages_locked() to be called with or without the
leading tsk/mm arguments. We will give a compile-time warning
about the old style being __deprecated and we will also
WARN_ON() if the non-remote version is used for a remote-style
access.
Doing this, folks will get nice warnings and will not break the
build. This should be nice for -next and will hopefully let
developers fix up their own code instead of maintainers needing
to do it at merge time.
The way we do this is hideous. It uses the __VA_ARGS__ macro
functionality to call different functions based on the number
of arguments passed to the macro.
There's an additional hack to ensure that our EXPORT_SYMBOL()
of the deprecated symbols doesn't trigger a warning.
We should be able to remove this mess as soon as -rc1 hits in
the release after this is merged.

Commit b76437579d ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps.
Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list,
turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a
thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a
million combinations.
The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the
patch.
Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.
The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as
identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation.
Siddesh said:
"The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and
there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have
access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed
employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my
own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody
really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am
concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the
information is available in the thread-specific files"

page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look

The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound

page_rmapping() instead of direct access to fault_page->mapping.

kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither
destination will be ever modified. In such case we can just reuse the
source instead of duplicating it. The problem is that we must be sure
that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough.
I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in
kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is
read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time.
This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup -
kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata
otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. To verify if the source is in
.rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels
__start_rodata, __end_rodata. I guess it should work with all
architectures.
The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for
cases where situtation described above happens frequently.
I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it
saves 3272 string allocations. Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64
bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about
100KB or 200KB of memory.
Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs:
By caller:
2260 __kernfs_new_node
631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8
318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8
51 kmem_cache_create
12 alloc_vfsmnt
By string (with count >= 5):
883 power
876 subsystem
135 parameters
132 device
61 iommu_group
...
This patch (of 5):
Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant
char array. The function checks if input string is in persistent and
read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it
fallbacks to kstrdup.
kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory
deallocation of the string.

- Rename vm_is_stack() to task_of_stack() and change it to return
"struct task_struct *" rather than the global (and thus wrong in
general) pid_t.
- Add the new pid_of_stack() helper which calls task_of_stack() and
uses the right namespace to report the correct pid_t.
Unfortunately we need to define this helper twice, in task_mmu.c
and in task_nommu.c. perhaps it makes sense to add fs/proc/util.c
and move at least pid_of_stack/task_of_stack there to avoid the
code duplication.
- Change show_map_vma() and show_numa_map() to use the new helper.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Bad Address (null pointer deref?)
Commit 8456a648cf changes the page structure so that the slab
subsystem reuses the page->mapping field.
The crash happens in the following way:
* XFS allocates some memory from slab and issues a bio to read data
into it.
* the bio is sent to the loopback device.
* lo_receive creates an actor and calls splice_direct_to_actor.
* lo_splice_actor copies data to the target page.
* lo_splice_actor calls flush_dcache_page because the page may be
mapped by userspace. In that case we need to flush the kernel cache.
* flush_dcache_page asks for the list of userspace mappings, however
that page->mapping field is reused by the slab subsystem for a
different purpose. This causes the crash.
Note that other architectures without coherent caches (sparc, arm, mips)
also call page_mapping from flush_dcache_page, so they may crash in the
same way.
This patch fixes this bug by testing if the page is a slab page in
page_mapping and returning NULL if it is.
The patch also fixes VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) that could happen in
earlier kernels in the same scenario on architectures without cache
coherence when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled - so it should be backported
to stable kernels.
In the old kernels, the function page_mapping is placed in
include/linux/mm.h, so you should modify the patch accordingly when
backporting it.

address_space for swap. The swap entry type is the index to the array.
In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.
This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

Without this patch we can get (many) kmem trace events
with call site at krealloc().
This happens because krealloc is calling __krealloc,
which performs the allocation through kmalloc_track_caller.
Since neither krealloc nor __krealloc are marked inline explicitly,
the caller can be traced as being krealloc, which clearly is not
the intended behavior.
This patch allows to get the real caller of krealloc, by creating
an always inlined function __do_krealloc, thus tracing the
call site accurately.

When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree
in an unusual way. IIUC, because there can be more than one
identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more
strictly and does a linear search on the tree. But it doesn't applied to
the list (i.e. the list could be constructed in a different order than
the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that
order).
Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same
time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order. And linear
searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it
can be converted to use the list.
Also, after the commit 297c5eee37 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly
linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need
to be fixed to construct the list properly.
Patch 1/6 is a preparation. It maintains the list sorted same as the tree
and construct doubly-linked list properly. Patch 2/6 is a simple
optimization for the vma deletion. Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree
traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups.
This patch:
@vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA
struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm.
However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list.
This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal
like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list().
After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by
using @mm->mmap list.

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying
memory before releasing it to the slab allocator.
Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object
before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure
security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use.
These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes
users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily
aware of the actual object size.

provided by all allocators and thus we can implement krealloc in a generic
way.
Implement krealloc in mm/util.c and drop slab specific implementations of
krealloc.

- rename ____kmalloc to kmalloc_track_caller so that people have a chance
to guess what it does just from it's name. Add a comment describing it
for those who don't. Also move it after kmalloc in slab.h so people get
less confused when they are just looking for kmalloc - move things around
in slab.c a little to reduce the ifdef mess.

One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(dst, src, len);
which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which
sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.
Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
done exactly because of diverged lenghts:
Linux:
[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
OpenBSD:
kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4
If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
mistakes could be avoided.
With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:
dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

As suggested by Eric Dumazet, optimize kzalloc() calls that pass a
compile-time constant size. Please note that the patch increases kernel
text slightly (~200 bytes for defconfig on x86).

This patch series creates a strndup_user() function to easy copying C strings
from userspace. Also we avoid common pitfalls like userspace modifying the
final \0 after the strlen_user().
