When we tested pmdk unit test [1] vmmalloc_fork TEST1 in arm64 guest, there
will be a double page fault in __copy_from_user_inatomic of cow_user_page.

Below call trace is from arm64 do_page_fault for debugging purpose
[  110.016195] Call trace:
[  110.016826]  do_page_fault+0x5a4/0x690
[  110.017812]  do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0
[  110.018726]  el1_da+0x20/0xc4
[  110.019492]  __arch_copy_from_user+0x180/0x280
[  110.020646]  do_wp_page+0xb0/0x860
[  110.021517]  __handle_mm_fault+0x994/0x1338
[  110.022606]  handle_mm_fault+0xe8/0x180
[  110.023584]  do_page_fault+0x240/0x690
[  110.024535]  do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0
[  110.025423]  el0_da+0x20/0x24

The pte info before __copy_from_user_inatomic is (PTE_AF is cleared):
[ffff9b007000] pgd=000000023d4f8003, pud=000000023da9b003, pmd=000000023d4b3003, pte=360000298607bd3

As told by Catalin: "On arm64 without hardware Access Flag, copying from
user will fail because the pte is old and cannot be marked young. So we
always end up with zeroed page after fork() + CoW for pfn mappings. we
don't always have a hardware-managed access flag on arm64."

This patch fix it by calling pte_mkyoung. Also, the parameter is
changed because vmf should be passed to cow_user_page()

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE when __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns error
in case there can be some obscure use-case.(by Kirill)

Nitpick: please follow the kernel coding style for multi-line comments
(above and the for the rest of the patch):

Another nit, you could rewrite this block slightly to avoid too much
indentation. Something like (untested):

		if (arch_faults_on_old_pte() && !pte_young(vmf->orig_pte)) {
			vmf->pte = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, vmf->pmd, addr,
						       &vmf->ptl);
			if (unlikely(!pte_same(*vmf->pte, vmf->orig_pte))) {
				/*
				 * Other thread has already handled the fault
				 * and we don't need to do anything. If it's
				 * not the case, the fault will be triggered
				 * again on the same address.
				 */
				pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);
				return false;
			}
			entry = pte_mkyoung(vmf->orig_pte);
			if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, addr,
						  vmf->pte, entry, 0))
				update_mmu_cache(vma, addr, vmf->pte);
			pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);
		}

> +

Since you moved the kmap_atomic() here, could the above
arch_faults_on_old_pte() run in a preemptible context? I suggested to
add a WARN_ON in patch 2 to be sure.

That's more of a question for the mm guys: at this point we do the
copying with the ptl released; is there anything else that could have
made the pte old in the meantime? I think unuse_pte() is only called on
anonymous vmas, so it shouldn't be the case here.

Should I move kmap_atomic back to the original line? Thus, we can make sure
that arch_faults_on_old_pte() is in the context of preempt_disabled?
Otherwise, arch_faults_on_old_pte() may cause plenty of warning if I add
a WARN_ON in arch_faults_on_old_pte.  I tested it when I enable the PREEMPT=y
on a ThunderX2 qemu guest.

So we have two options here:

1. Change arch_faults_on_old_pte() scope to the whole system rather than
   just the current CPU. You'd have to wire up a new arm64 capability
   for the access flag but this way we don't care whether it's
   preemptible or not.

2. Keep the arch_faults_on_old_pte() per-CPU but make sure we are not
   preempted here. The kmap_atomic() move would do but you'd have to
   kunmap_atomic() before the return.

I think the answer to my question below also has some implication on
which option to pick:

If we need to hold the ptl here, you could as well have an enclosing
kmap/kunmap_atomic (option 2) with some goto instead of "return false".

Yeah, look like we need to hold ptl for longer. There is nothing I see
that would prevent clearing young bit under us otherwise.

Well, however you think the code is cleaner really.

The copy/paste didn't work well, tabs disappeared (or rather the
Exchange server corrupting outgoing emails) but I'll try to comment
below:

I'd move the pte_offset_map_lock() inside the 'if' block as we don't
want to affect architectures that handle old ptes automatically.

Since the locking would be moved in the 'if' block above, we need
another check here before unlocking:

	if (arch_faults_on_old_pte() && !pte_young(vmf->orig_pte))
		pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);

You could probably replace the two calls to arch_faults_on_old_pte()
with a single bool variable initialisation, something like:

	force_mkyoung = arch_faults_on_old_pte() &&
		!pte_young(vmf->orig_pte)

and only check for "if (force_mkyoung)" in both cases.
