mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page
Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the page actually mapped into the page table. The possible ways to deal with this situation are: (1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now. (2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and could break user space. (3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O pins. Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and allows for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs: when trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something went very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard to debug. So we better have a nice way to spot such issues. This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private mapping (IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will always remain consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages. As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with FOLL_PIN as documented in: https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN. Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in there with FOLL_PIN. This commit is heavily based on prototype patches by Andrea.
