      mm,fork: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK · d2cd9ede
      由 Rik van Riel 提交于 
      Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.

Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.

MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.

The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.

Examples of this would be:
 - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
   check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
 - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
 - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
 - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)

The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.

A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.

It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.

The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.

This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

      mm/shmem: add hugetlbfs support to memfd_create() · 749df87b
      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread:
  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.com

The Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model.  This
new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory.  One
straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create.  They can
use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory.

The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages.  If this
option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection
model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory.  Using hugetlbfs,
it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths
in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings.  However,
this introduces additional system admin work and coordination.

Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit
mounting of a filesystem.  Today, mmap and shmget can make use of
hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem.  The patch adds this
functionality to memfd_create.

Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file
to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem.  This is the generic
hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point.  As
with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is
the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments.

hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.

Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of
functionality moves forward.

      mm: userfaultfd: add feature to request for a signal delivery · 2d6d6f5a
      由 Prakash Sangappa 提交于 
      In some cases, userfaultfd mechanism should just deliver a SIGBUS signal
to the faulting process, instead of the page-fault event.  Dealing with
page-fault event using a monitor thread can be an overhead in these
cases.  For example applications like the database could use the
signaling mechanism for robustness purpose.

Database uses hugetlbfs for performance reason.  Files on hugetlbfs
filesystem are created and huge pages allocated using fallocate() API.
Pages are deallocated/freed using fallocate() hole punching support.
These files are mmapped and accessed by many processes as shared memory.
The database keeps track of which offsets in the hugetlbfs file have
pages allocated.

Any access to mapped address over holes in the file, which can occur due
to bugs in the application, is considered invalid and expect the process
to simply receive a SIGBUS.  However, currently when a hole in the file
is accessed via the mapped address, kernel/mm attempts to automatically
allocate a page at page fault time, resulting in implicitly filling the
hole in the file.  This may not be the desired behavior for applications
like the database that want to explicitly manage page allocations of
hugetlbfs files.

Using userfaultfd mechanism with this support to get a signal, database
application can prevent pages from being allocated implicitly when
processes access mapped address over holes in the file.

This patch adds UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS feature to userfaultfd mechnism to
request for a SIGBUS signal.

See following for previous discussion about the database requirement
leading to this proposal as suggested by Andrea.

      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      Patch series "Consolidate system call hugetlb page size encodings".

These patches are the result of discussions in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/8/548.  The following changes are made in the
patch set:

1) Put all the log2 encoded huge page size definitions in a common
   header file.  The idea is have a set of definitions that can be use as
   the basis for system call specific definitions such as MAP_HUGE_* and
   SHM_HUGE_*.

2) Remove MAP_HUGE_* definitions in arch specific files.  All these
   definitions are the same.  Consolidate all definitions in the primary
   user header file (uapi/linux/mman.h).

3) Remove SHM_HUGE_* definitions intended for user space from kernel
   header file, and add to user (uapi/linux/shm.h) header file.  Add
   definitions for all known huge page size encodings as in mmap.

This patch (of 3):

If hugetlb pages are requested in mmap or shmget system calls, a huge
page size other than default can be requested.  This is accomplished by
encoding the log2 of the huge page size in the upper bits of the flag
argument.  asm-generic and arch specific headers all define the same
values for these encodings.

Put common definitions in a single header file.  The primary uapi header
files for mmap and shm will use these definitions as a basis for
definitions specific to those system calls.

      netlink: add NLM_F_NONREC flag for deletion requests · 2335ba70
      由 Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于 
      In the last NFWS in Faro, Portugal, we discussed that netlink is lacking
the semantics to request non recursive deletions, ie. do not delete an
object iff it has child objects that hang from this parent object that
the user requests to be deleted.

We need this new flag to solve a problem for the iptables-compat
backward compatibility utility, that runs iptables commands using the
existing nf_tables netlink interface. Specifically, custom chains in
iptables cannot be deleted if there are rules in it, however, nf_tables
allows to remove any chain that is populated with content. To sort out
this asymmetry, iptables-compat userspace sets this new NLM_F_NONREC
flag to obtain the same semantics that iptables provides.

This new flag should only be used for deletion requests. Note this new
flag value overlaps with the existing:

* NLM_F_ROOT for get requests.
* NLM_F_REPLACE for new requests.

However, those flags should not ever be used in deletion requests.

      netfilter: xt_hashlimit: add rate match mode · bea74641
      由 Vishwanath Pai 提交于 
      This patch adds a new feature to hashlimit that allows matching on the
current packet/byte rate without rate limiting. This can be enabled
with a new flag --hashlimit-rate-match. The match returns true if the
current rate of packets is above/below the user specified value.

The main difference between the existing algorithm and the new one is
that the existing algorithm rate-limits the flow whereas the new
algorithm does not. Instead it *classifies* the flow based on whether
it is above or below a certain rate. I will demonstrate this with an
example below. Let us assume this rule:

iptables -A INPUT -m hashlimit --hashlimit-above 10/s -j new_chain

If the packet rate is 15/s, the existing algorithm would ACCEPT 10
packets every second and send 5 packets to "new_chain".

But with the new algorithm, as long as the rate of 15/s is sustained,
all packets will continue to match and every packet is sent to new_chain.

This new functionality will let us classify different flows based on
their current rate, so that further decisions can be made on them based on
what the current rate is.

This is how the new algorithm works:
We divide time into intervals of 1 (sec/min/hour) as specified by
the user. We keep track of the number of packets/bytes processed in the
current interval. After each interval we reset the counter to 0.

When we receive a packet for match, we look at the packet rate
during the current interval and the previous interval to make a
decision:

if [ prev_rate < user and cur_rate < user ]
        return Below
else
        return Above

Where cur_rate is the number of packets/bytes seen in the current
interval, prev is the number of packets/bytes seen in the previous
interval and 'user' is the rate specified by the user.

We also provide flexibility to the user for choosing the time
interval using the option --hashilmit-interval. For example the user can
keep a low rate like x/hour but still keep the interval as small as 1
second.

To preserve backwards compatibility we have to add this feature in a new
revision, so I've created revision 3 for hashlimit. The two new options
we add are:

--hashlimit-rate-match
--hashlimit-rate-interval

I have updated the help text to add these new options. Also added a few
tests for the new options.

      IB/core: Add completion queue (cq) object actions · 9ee79fce
      由 Matan Barak 提交于 
      Adding CQ ioctl actions:
1. create_cq
2. destroy_cq

This requires adding the following:
1. A specification describing the method
	a. Handler
	b. Attributes specification
		Each attribute is one of the following:
		a. PTR_IN - input data
			    Note: This could be encoded inlined for
				  data < 64bit
		b. PTR_OUT - response data
		c. IDR - idr based object
		d. FD - fd based object
                Blobs attributes (clauses a and b) contain their type,
	        while objects specifications (clauses c and d)
                contains the expected object type (for example, the
                given id should be UVERBS_TYPE_PD) and the required
                access (READ, WRITE, NEW or DESTROY). If a NEW is
                required, the new object's id will be assigned to this
                attribute. All attributes could get UA_FLAGS
                attribute. Currently we support stating that an
		attribute is mandatory or that the specification size
                corresponds to a lower bound (and that this attribute
		could be extended).
		We currently add both default attributes and the two
		generic UHW_IN and UHW_OUT driver specific attributes.
2. Handler
   A handler gets a uverbs_attr_bundle. The handler developer uses
   uverbs_attr_get to fetch an attribute of a given id.
   Each of these attribute groups correspond to the specification
   group defined in the action (clauses 1.b and 1.c respectively).
   The indices of these arrays corresponds to the attribute ids
   declared in the specifications (clause 2).

   The handler is quite simple. It assumes the infrastructure fetched
   all objects and locked, created or destroyed them as required by
   the specification. Pointer (or blob) attributes were validated to
   match their required sizes. After the handler finished, the
   infrastructure commits or rollbacks the objects.

      IB/core: Add new ioctl interface · fac9658c
      由 Matan Barak 提交于 
      In this ioctl interface, processing the command starts from
properties of the command and fetching the appropriate user objects
before calling the handler.

Parsing and validation is done according to a specifier declared by
the driver's code. In the driver, all supported objects are declared.
These objects are separated to different object namepsaces. Dividing
objects to namespaces is done at initialization by using the higher
bits of the object ids. This initialization can mix objects declared
in different places to one parsing tree using in this ioctl interface.

For each object we list all supported methods. Similarly to objects,
methods are separated to method namespaces too. Namespacing is done
similarly to the objects case. This could be used in order to add
methods to an existing object.

Each method has a specific handler, which could be either a default
handler or a driver specific handler.
Along with the handler, a bunch of attributes are specified as well.
Similarly to objects and method, attributes are namespaced and hashed
by their ids at initialization too. All supported attributes are
subject to automatic fetching and validation. These attributes include
the command, response and the method's related objects' ids.

When these entities (objects, methods and attributes) are used, the
high bits of the entities ids are used in order to calculate the hash
bucket index. Then, these high bits are masked out in order to have a
zero based index. Since we use these high bits for both bucketing and
namespacing, we get a compact representation and O(1) array access.
This is mandatory for efficient dispatching.

Each attribute has a type (PTR_IN, PTR_OUT, IDR and FD) and a length.
Attributes could be validated through some attributes, like:
(*) Minimum size / Exact size
(*) Fops for FD
(*) Object type for IDR

If an IDR/fd attribute is specified, the kernel also states the object
type and the required access (NEW, WRITE, READ or DESTROY).
All uobject/fd management is done automatically by the infrastructure,
meaning - the infrastructure will fail concurrent commands that at
least one of them requires concurrent access (WRITE/DESTROY),
synchronize actions with device removals (dissociate context events)
and take care of reference counting (increase/decrease) for concurrent
actions invocation. The reference counts on the actual kernel objects
shall be handled by the handlers.

[d] = Hash ids to groups using the high order bits

The right types table is also chosen by using the high bits from
the ids. Currently we have either default or driver specific groups.

Once validation and object fetching (or creation) completed, we call
the handler:
int (*handler)(struct ib_device *ib_dev, struct ib_uverbs_file *ufile,
               struct uverbs_attr_bundle *ctx);

ctx bundles attributes of different namespaces. Each element there
is an array of attributes which corresponds to one namespaces of
attributes. For example, in the usually used case:

 ctx                               core
+----------------------------+     +------------+
| core:                      +---> | valid      |
+----------------------------+     | cmd_attr   |
| driver:                    |     +------------+
|----------------------------+--+  | valid      |
                                |  | cmd_attr   |
                                |  +------------+
                                |  | valid      |
                                |  | obj_attr   |
                                |  +------------+
                                |
                                |  drivers
                                |  +------------+
                                +> | valid      |
                                   | cmd_attr   |
                                   +------------+
                                   | valid      |
                                   | cmd_attr   |
                                   +------------+
