... and don't bother with new struct filename when we already have one

This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).

The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
at least for executables (rather than scripts).  The current glibc version
of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
or otherwise restricted environments.

Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
an appropriate generalization.

Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
back-compatibility concerns.  The current implementation just defines the
AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).

Related history:
 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
   realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
   documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
   "prevent other people from wasting their time".
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
   problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
   because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
   been fixed.

This patch (of 4):

Add a new execveat(2) system call.  execveat() is to execve() as openat()
is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
resolves the filename relative to that.

In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers.  This
replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and
so relies on /proc being mounted).

The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>"
(for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively
reflecting how the executable was found.  This does however mean that
execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
accessible after exec).

The man page for open(2) indicates that when O_CREAT is specified, the
'mode' argument applies only to future accesses to the file:

	Note that this mode applies only to future accesses of the newly
	created file; the open() call that creates a read-only file
	may well return a read/write file descriptor.

The man page for open(2) implies that 'mode' is treated identically by
O_CREAT and O_TMPFILE.

O_TMPFILE, however, behaves differently:

	int fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, 0);
	assert(fd == -1);
	assert(errno == EACCES);

	int fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, 0600);
	assert(fd > 0);

For O_CREAT, do_last() sets acc_mode to MAY_OPEN only:

	if (*opened & FILE_CREATED) {
		/* Don't check for write permission, don't truncate */
		open_flag &= ~O_TRUNC;
		will_truncate = false;
		acc_mode = MAY_OPEN;
		path_to_nameidata(path, nd);
		goto finish_open_created;
	}

But for O_TMPFILE, do_tmpfile() passes the full op->acc_mode to
may_open().

This patch lines up the behavior of O_TMPFILE with O_CREAT. After the
inode is created, may_open() is called with acc_mode = MAY_OPEN, in
do_tmpfile().

A different, but related glibc bug revealed the discrepancy:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17523

The glibc lazily loads the 'mode' argument of open() and openat() using
va_arg() only if O_CREAT is present in 'flags' (to support both the 2
argument and the 3 argument forms of open; same idea for openat()).
However, the glibc ignores the 'mode' argument if O_TMPFILE is in
'flags'.

On x86_64, for open(), it magically works anyway, as 'mode' is in
RDX when entering open(), and is still in RDX on SYSCALL, which is where
the kernel looks for the 3rd argument of a syscall.

But openat() is not quite so lucky: 'mode' is in RCX when entering the
glibc wrapper for openat(), while the kernel looks for the 4th argument
of a syscall in R10. Indeed, the syscall calling convention differs from
the regular calling convention in this respect on x86_64. So the kernel
sees mode = 0 when trying to use glibc openat() with O_TMPFILE, and
fails with EACCES.

With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became
possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount
points but are not mount points on other paths.  It is very confusing
when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted
somewhere else.  With the addition of user namespaces allowing
unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing
a DOS attack on other users in the system.

The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support
rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by
lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries.

In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls
on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to
succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a
distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a
mount in some namespace on the original dentry.

There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted
paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory
directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root
(i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu,
cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local).  Mounts on unprivileged directories
maintained by fusermount.

In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and
modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are
sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed
or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context
where the there are no mount points to prevent this.

In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users
races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a
danger.  fusermount already uses a combination of chdir,
/proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races.  The
removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds
nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and
fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the
directory simultaneously.

In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for
unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local
namespace is actually unnecessary.  Unfortunately not all userspace
programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename
of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an
important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and
making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit.

In preparation for allowing mountpoints to be renamed and unlinked
in remote filesystems and in other mount namespaces test if on a dentry
there is a mount in the local mount namespace before allowing it to
be renamed or unlinked.

The primary motivation here are old versions of fusermount unmount
which is not safe if the a path can be renamed or unlinked while it is
verifying the mount is safe to unmount.  More recent versions are simpler
and safer by simply using UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW when unmounting a mount
in a directory owned by an arbitrary user.

Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> reports this is approach is good
enough to remove concerns about new kernels mixed with old versions
of fusermount.

A secondary motivation for restrictions here is that it removing empty
directories that have non-empty mount points on them appears to
violate the rule that rmdir can not remove empty directories.  As
Linus Torvalds pointed out this is useful for programs (like git) that
test if a directory is empty with rmdir.

Therefore this patch arranges to enforce the existing mount point
semantics for local mount namespace.

v2: Rewrote the test to be a drop in replacement for d_mountpoint
v3: Use bool instead of int as the return type of is_local_mountpoint

Commit 9226b5b4 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small
store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the
"hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size
accesses to the members.

However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the
whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant.  We already
explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64
hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the
"struct qstr".

We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a
"d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then
just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point.

End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and
better code generation.  And we don't need to pass in pointers variables
to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the
relevant information.  So this removes more lines than it adds, and the
source code is clearer too.

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname
lookup (see commit 99d263d4 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made
me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that
the problem was actually fixed.  That turned up a few other problems in
this area.

There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow
serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come
in with the next VFS pull.

But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns
out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of
the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len
field.  That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing
an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine.

It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()"
function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole
'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value.

With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother.

Josef Bacik found a performance regression between 3.2 and 3.10 and
narrowed it down to commit bfcfaa77 ("vfs: use 'unsigned long'
accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing"). He reports:

 "The test case is essentially

      for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
              mkdir("a$i");

  On xfs on a fio card this goes at about 20k dir/sec with 3.2, and 12k
  dir/sec with 3.10.  This is because we spend waaaaay more time in
  __d_lookup on 3.10 than in 3.2.

  The new hashing function for strings is suboptimal for <
  sizeof(unsigned long) string names (and hell even > sizeof(unsigned
  long) string names that I've tested).  I broke out the old hashing
  function and the new one into a userspace helper to get real numbers
  and this is what I'm getting:

      Old hash table had 1000000 entries, 0 dupes, 0 max dupes
      New hash table had 12628 entries, 987372 dupes, 900 max dupes
      We had 11400 buckets with a p50 of 30 dupes, p90 of 240 dupes, p99 of 567 dupes for the new hash

  My test does the hash, and then does the d_hash into a integer pointer
  array the same size as the dentry hash table on my system, and then
  just increments the value at the address we got to see how many
  entries we overlap with.

  As you can see the old hash function ended up with all 1 million
  entries in their own bucket, whereas the new one they are only
  distributed among ~12.5k buckets, which is why we're using so much
  more CPU in __d_lookup".

The reason for this hash regression is two-fold:

 - On 64-bit architectures the down-mixing of the original 64-bit
   word-at-a-time hash into the final 32-bit hash value is very
   simplistic and suboptimal, and just adds the two 32-bit parts
   together.

   In particular, because there is no bit shuffling and the mixing
   boundary is also a byte boundary, similar character patterns in the
   low and high word easily end up just canceling each other out.

 - the old byte-at-a-time hash mixed each byte into the final hash as it
   hashed the path component name, resulting in the low bits of the hash
   generally being a good source of hash data.  That is not true for the
   word-at-a-time case, and the hash data is distributed among all the
   bits.

The fix is the same in both cases: do a better job of mixing the bits up
and using as much of the hash data as possible.  We already have the
"hash_32|64()" functions to do that.

in non-lazy walk we need to be careful about dentry switching from
negative to positive - both ->d_flags and ->d_inode are updated,
and in some places we might see only one store.  The cases where
dentry has been obtained by dcache lookup with ->i_mutex held on
parent are safe - ->d_lock and ->i_mutex provide all the barriers
we need.  However, there are several places where we run into
trouble:
	* do_last() fetches ->d_inode, then checks ->d_flags and
assumes that inode won't be NULL unless d_is_negative() is true.
Race with e.g. creat() - we might have fetched the old value of
->d_inode (still NULL) and new value of ->d_flags (already not
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE).  Lin Ming has observed and reported the resulting
oops.
	* a bunch of places checks ->d_inode for being non-NULL,
then checks ->d_flags for "is it a symlink".  Race with symlink(2)
in case if our CPU sees ->d_inode update first - we see non-NULL
there, but ->d_flags still contains DCACHE_MISS_TYPE instead of
DCACHE_SYMLINK_TYPE.  Result: false negative on "should we follow
link here?", with subsequent unpleasantness.

If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the
rename syscall fails with EEXIST.

The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most
local filesystems.  This patch only enables it in ext4.

For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race
between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle
this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity.

"The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'.

Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file
with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync
it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the
temporary file.

The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination.

This is annoying:
 - It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary.
 - It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support
hard links (e.g. vfat).
 - It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist.
 - It's ugly.

The new rename flag will make this totally sensible.

To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and
linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

Add new renameat2 syscall, which is the same as renameat with an added
flags argument.

Pass flags to vfs_rename() and to i_op->rename() as well.

There's actually very little difference between vfs_rename_dir() and
vfs_rename_other() so move both inline into vfs_rename() which still stays
reasonably readable.
