We should deboost before waking the high-priority task, such that we don't run two tasks with the same "state" (priority, deadline, sched_class, etc). In order to make sure the boosting task doesn't start running between unlock and deboost (due to 'spurious' wakeup), we move the deboost under the wait_lock, that way its serialized against the wait loop in __rt_mutex_slowlock(). Doing the deboost early can however lead to priority-inversion if current would get preempted after the deboost but before waking our high-prio task, hence we disable preemption before doing deboost, and enabling it after the wake up is over. This gets us the right semantic order, but most importantly however; this change ensures pointer stability for the next patch, where we have rt_mutex_setprio() cache a pointer to the top-most waiter task. If we, as before this change, do the wakeup first and then deboost, this pointer might point into thin air.

When PREEMPT_RT_FULL does the spinlock -> rt_mutex substitution the PI chain code will (falsely) report a deadlock and BUG. The problem is that it hold hb->lock (now an rt_mutex) while doing task_blocks_on_rt_mutex on the futex's pi_state::rtmutex. This, when interleaved just right with futex_unlock_pi() leads it to believe to see an AB-BA deadlock. Task1 (holds rt_mutex, Task2 (does FUTEX_LOCK_PI) does FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI) lock hb->lock lock rt_mutex (as per start_proxy) lock hb->lock Which is a trivial AB-BA. It is not an actual deadlock, because it won't be holding hb->lock by the time it actually blocks on the rt_mutex, but the chainwalk code doesn't know that and it would be a nightmare to handle this gracefully. To avoid this problem, do the same as in futex_unlock_pi() and drop hb->lock after acquiring wait_lock. This still fully serializes against futex_unlock_pi(), since adding to the wait_list does the very same lock dance, and removing it holds both locks. Aside of solving the RT problem this makes the lock and unlock mechanism symetric and reduces the hb->lock held time.

The problem with returning -EAGAIN when the waiter state mismatches is that it becomes very hard to proof a bounded execution time on the operation. And seeing that this is a RT operation, this is somewhat important. While in practise; given the previous patch; it will be very unlikely to ever really take more than one or two rounds, proving so becomes rather hard. However, now that modifying wait_list is done while holding both hb->lock and wait_lock, the scenario can be avoided entirely by acquiring wait_lock while still holding hb-lock. Doing a hand-over, without leaving a hole.

By changing futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock() all wait_list modifications are done under both hb->lock and wait_lock. This closes the obvious interleave pattern between futex_lock_pi() and futex_unlock_pi(), but not entirely so. See below: Before: futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi() unlock hb->lock lock hb->lock unlock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock -EAGAIN lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_add unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock schedule() lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_del unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock <idem> -EAGAIN lock hb->lock After: futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi() lock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_add unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock hb->lock schedule() lock hb->lock unlock hb->lock lock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_del unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock -EAGAIN unlock hb->lock It does however solve the earlier starvation/live-lock scenario which got introduced with the -EAGAIN since unlike the before scenario; where the -EAGAIN happens while futex_unlock_pi() doesn't hold any locks; in the after scenario it happens while futex_unlock_pi() actually holds a lock, and then it is serialized on that lock.

With the ultimate goal of keeping rt_mutex wait_list and futex_q waiters consistent it's necessary to split 'rt_mutex_futex_lock()' into finer parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb->lock held. Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed. When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner. This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications are done with both hb->lock and wait_lock held.

There's a number of 'interesting' problems, all caused by holding hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock() equivalient. Notably: - a PI inversion on hb->lock; and, - a SCHED_DEADLINE crash because of pointer instability. The previous changes: - changed the locking rules to cover {uval,pi_state} with wait_lock. - allow to do rt_mutex_futex_unlock() without dropping wait_lock; which in turn allows to rely on wait_lock atomicity completely. - simplified the waiter conundrum. It's now sufficient to hold rtmutex::wait_lock and a reference on the pi_state to protect the state consistency, so hb->lock can be dropped before calling rt_mutex_futex_unlock().

There is a weird state in the futex_unlock_pi() path when it interleaves with a concurrent futex_lock_pi() at the point where it drops hb->lock. In this case, it can happen that the rt_mutex wait_list and the futex_q disagree on pending waiters, in particular rt_mutex will find no pending waiters where futex_q thinks there are. In this case the rt_mutex unlock code cannot assign an owner. The futex side fixup code has to cleanup the inconsistencies with quite a bunch of interesting corner cases. Simplify all this by changing wake_futex_pi() to return -EAGAIN when this situation occurs. This then gives the futex_lock_pi() code the opportunity to continue and the retried futex_unlock_pi() will now observe a coherent state. The only problem is that this breaks RT timeliness guarantees. That is, consider the following scenario: T1 and T2 are both pinned to CPU0. prio(T2) > prio(T1) CPU0 T1 lock_pi() queue_me() <- Waiter is visible preemption T2 unlock_pi() loops with -EAGAIN forever Which is undesirable for PI primitives.

Currently futex-pi relies on hb->lock to serialize everything. But hb->lock creates another set of problems, especially priority inversions on RT where hb->lock becomes a rt_mutex itself. The rt_mutex::wait_lock is the most obvious protection for keeping the futex user space value and the kernel internal pi_state in sync. Rework and document the locking so rt_mutex::wait_lock is held accross all operations which modify the user space value and the pi state. This allows to invoke rt_mutex_unlock() (including deboost) without holding hb->lock as a next step. Nothing yet relies on the new locking rules.

Part of what makes futex_unlock_pi() intricate is that rt_mutex_futex_unlock() -> rt_mutex_slowunlock() can drop rt_mutex::wait_lock. This means it cannot rely on the atomicy of wait_lock, which would be preferred in order to not rely on hb->lock so much. The reason rt_mutex_slowunlock() needs to drop wait_lock is because it can race with the rt_mutex fastpath, however futexes have their own fast path. Since futexes already have a bunch of separate rt_mutex accessors, complete that set and implement a rt_mutex variant without fastpath for them.

While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller. pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad. Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb->lock held, see for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before unqueue_me_pi().

The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted. The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable might use the futex syscall. futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper. If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem has not been initialized yet. Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken by commit 65d8fc77 ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()"). This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs page and not the tail page. Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key. After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly. However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so this patch records the tail page. On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is; futex_wake04 0 TINFO : Hugepagesize 2097152 futex_wake04 1 TFAIL : futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.

For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost never relevant. Most users aren't actually using a constant size anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off just using __get_user() instead. So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.

Otherwise an incoming waker on the dest hash bucket can miss the waiter adding itself to the plist during the lockless check optimization (small window but still the correct way of doing this); similarly to the decrement counterpart.

If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0 transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the waiters bit set. This opens the following race: CPU0 CPU1 uval = get_user(futex) lock(hb) lock(hb) futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS .... unlock(hb) cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval) So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because the futex value is valid. To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag change and retry.

Commit e91467ec ("bug in futex unqueue_me") introduced a barrier() in unqueue_me() to prevent the compiler from rereading the lock pointer which might change after a check for NULL. Replace the barrier() with a READ_ONCE() for the following reasons: 1) READ_ONCE() is a weaker form of barrier() that affects only the specific load operation, while barrier() is a general compiler level memory barrier. READ_ONCE() was not available at the time when the barrier was added. 2) Aside of that READ_ONCE() is descriptive and self explainatory while a barrier without comment is not clear to the casual reader. No functional change.

When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache. Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations. Task A get_futex_key() lock_page() ---> preempted Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time. With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key(). Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%, but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec). This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

Ingo suggested we rename how we reference barriers A and B regarding futex ordering guarantees. This patch replaces, for both barriers, MB (A) with smp_mb(); (A), such that: - We explicitly state that the barriers are SMP, and - We standardize how we reference these across futex.c helping readers follow what barrier does what and where.

Sasha reported a lockdep splat about a potential deadlock between RCU boosting rtmutex and the posix timer it_lock. CPU0 CPU1 rtmutex_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex) spin_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex.wait_lock) local_irq_disable() spin_lock(&timer->it_lock) spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock) --> Interrupt spin_lock(&timer->it_lock) This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1 rcu_read_lock() x = lookup(); if (x) spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock); rcu_read_unlock(); return x; We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and there is no reason not to support it. Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

While reviewing Michael Kerrisk's recent futex manpage update, I noticed that we allow the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET but not for FUTEX_WAIT. FUTEX_WAIT is treated as a simple version for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET internally (with a bitmask of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY). As such, I cannot come up with a reason for this exclusion for FUTEX_WAIT. This change does modify the behavior of the futex syscall, changing a call with FUTEX_WAIT | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME from returning -ENOSYS, to be equivalent to FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with a bitset of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY.
