Checking for the lack of epitems refering to the epoll we want to insert into
is not enough; we might have an insertion of that epoll into another one that
has already collected the set of files to recheck for excessive reverse paths,
but hasn't gotten to creating/inserting the epitem for it.

However, any such insertion in progress can be detected - it will update the
generation count in our epoll when it's done looking through it for files
to check.  That gets done under ->mtx of our epoll and that allows us to
detect that safely.

We are *not* holding epmutex here, so the generation count is not stable.
However, since both the update of ep->gen by loop check and (later)
insertion into ->f_ep_link are done with ep->mtx held, we are fine -
the sequence is
	grab epmutex
	bump loop_check_gen
	...
	grab tep->mtx		// 1
	tep->gen = loop_check_gen
	...
	drop tep->mtx		// 2
	...
	grab tep->mtx		// 3
	...
	insert into ->f_ep_link
	...
	drop tep->mtx		// 4
	bump loop_check_gen
	drop epmutex
and if the fastpath check in another thread happens for that
eventpoll, it can come
	* before (1) - in that case fastpath is just fine
	* after (4) - we'll see non-empty ->f_ep_link, slow path
taken
	* between (2) and (3) - loop_check_gen is stable,
with ->mtx providing barriers and we end up taking slow path.

Note that ->f_ep_link emptiness check is slightly racy - we are protected
against insertions into that list, but removals can happen right under us.
Not a problem - in the worst case we'll end up taking a slow path for
no good reason.

When adding a new fd to an epoll, and that this new fd is an
epoll fd itself, we recursively scan the fds attached to it
to detect cycles, and add non-epool files to a "check list"
that gets subsequently parsed.

However, this check list isn't completely safe when deletions
can happen concurrently. To sidestep the issue, make sure that
a struct file placed on the check list sees its f_count increased,
ensuring that a concurrent deletion won't result in the file
disapearing from under our feet.

There is a possible race when ep_scan_ready_list() leaves ->rdllist and
->obflist empty for a short period of time although some events are
pending.  It is quite likely that ep_events_available() observes empty
lists and goes to sleep.

Since commit 339ddb53 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of
nested epoll") we are conservative in wakeups (there is only one place
for wakeup and this is ep_poll_callback()), thus ep_events_available()
must always observe correct state of two lists.

The easiest and correct way is to do the final check under the lock.
This does not impact the performance, since lock is taken anyway for
adding a wait entry to the wait queue.

The discussion of the problem can be found here:

   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/a2f22c3c-c25a-4bda-8339-a7bdaf17849e@akamai.com/

In this patch barrierless __set_current_state() is used.  This is safe
since waitqueue_active() is called under the same lock on wakeup side.

Short-circuit for fatal signals (i.e.  fatal_signal_pending() check) is
moved to the line just before actual events harvesting routine.  This is
fully compliant to what is said in the comment of the patch where the
actual fatal_signal_pending() check was added: c257a340 ("fs, epoll:
short circuit fetching events if thread has been killed").

This patch does two things:

 - fixes a lost wakeup introduced by commit 339ddb53 ("fs/epoll:
   remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll")

 - improves performance for events delivery.

The description of the problem is the following: if N (>1) threads are
waiting on ep->wq for new events and M (>1) events come, it is quite
likely that >1 wakeups hit the same wait queue entry, because there is
quite a big window between __add_wait_queue_exclusive() and the
following __remove_wait_queue() calls in ep_poll() function.

This can lead to lost wakeups, because thread, which was woken up, can
handle not all the events in ->rdllist.  (in better words the problem is
described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/7/905)

The idea of the current patch is to use init_wait() instead of
init_waitqueue_entry().

Internally init_wait() sets autoremove_wake_function as a callback,
which removes the wait entry atomically (under the wq locks) from the
list, thus the next coming wakeup hits the next wait entry in the wait
queue, thus preventing lost wakeups.

Problem is very well reproduced by the epoll60 test case [1].

Wait entry removal on wakeup has also performance benefits, because
there is no need to take a ep->lock and remove wait entry from the queue
after the successful wakeup.  Here is the timing output of the epoll60
test case:

  With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
  code prior 339ddb53):

    real    0m6.970s
    user    0m49.786s
    sys     0m0.113s

 After this patch:

   real    0m5.220s
   user    0m36.879s
   sys     0m0.019s

The other testcase is the stress-epoll [2], where one thread consumes
all the events and other threads produce many events:

  With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
  code prior 339ddb53):

    threads  events/ms  run-time ms
          8       5427         1474
         16       6163         2596
         32       6824         4689
         64       7060         9064
        128       6991        18309

 After this patch:

    threads  events/ms  run-time ms
          8       5598         1429
         16       7073         2262
         32       7502         4265
         64       7640         8376
        128       7634        16767

 (number of "events/ms" represents event bandwidth, thus higher is
  better; number of "run-time ms" represents overall time spent
  doing the benchmark, thus lower is better)

In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit 339ddb53
("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be
woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback.

With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake
up.  Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was
resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback.

We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with
339ddb53 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me.
With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups.  I haven't yet
tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in
filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set
ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling
interrupts.  Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a
spinlock after disabling interrupts.  So let's re-work how we determine
the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel.

Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the
current nesting level during ep_poll_callback().  Then, if we nest again
we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and
increase our count by 1.  The 'nests' field is protected by
ep->poll_wait.lock.

I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll
from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which
is typical for a production config.

This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by commit a218cc49.
Originally modifications to ep->wq were serialized by ep->wq.lock, but
in commit a218cc49 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce
ep_poll_callback() contention") a new rw lock was introduced in order to
relax fd event path, i.e. callers of ep_poll_callback() function.

After the change ep_modify and ep_insert (both are called on epoll_ctl()
path) were switched to ep->lock, but ep_poll (epoll_wait) was using
ep->wq.lock on wqueue list modification.

The bug doesn't lead to any wqueue list corruptions, because wake up
path and list modifications were serialized by ep->wq.lock internally,
but actual waitqueue_active() check prior wake_up() call can be
reordered with modifications of ep ready list, thus wake up can be lost.

And yes, can be healed by explicit smp_mb():

  list_add_tail(&epi->rdlink, &ep->rdllist);
  smp_mb();
  if (waitqueue_active(&ep->wq))
	wake_up(&ep->wp);

But let's make it simple, thus current patch replaces ep->wq.lock with
the ep->lock for wqueue modifications, thus wake up path always observes
activeness of the wqueue correcty.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

task->saved_sigmask and ->restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from-

->saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that ->blocked

This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and
restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns
into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later.

Commit 854a6ed5 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced
the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked
by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns
success or timeout.

Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted"
argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and
update the callers.

The goal of this patch is to reduce contention of ep_poll_callback()
which can be called concurrently from different CPUs in case of high
events rates and many fds per epoll.  Problem can be very well
reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or eventfd) from many
threads, while consumer thread does polling.  In other words this patch
increases the bandwidth of events which can be delivered from sources to
the poller by adding poll items in a lockless way to the list.

The main change is in replacement of the spinlock with a rwlock, which
is taken on read in ep_poll_callback(), and then by adding poll items to
the tail of the list using xchg atomic instruction.  Write lock is taken
everywhere else in order to stop list modifications and guarantee that
list updates are fully completed (I assume that write side of a rwlock
does not starve, it seems qrwlock implementation has these guarantees).

The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1]
which starts threads which generate N events each.  The test ends when
all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread:

 spinlock
 ========

 threads  events/ms  run-time ms
       8       6402        12495
      16       7045        22709
      32       7395        43268

 rwlock + xchg
 =============

 threads  events/ms  run-time ms
       8      10038         7969

      32      13223        24199

According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly
increased, thus execution time is reduced.

This patch was tested with different sort of microbenchmarks and
artificial delays (e.g.  "udelay(get_random_int() & 0xff)") introduced
in kernel on paths where items are added to lists.

Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at
any time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path
where we check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e.
ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to
finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for
ep_scan_ready_list().

Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit
extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu
is not needed), but I do not want to create another naked
__ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant
is just better for all the cases.

This patch (of 4):

All coming events are stored in FIFO order and this is also should be
applicable to ->ovflist, which originally is stack, i.e.  LIFO.

Thus to keep correct FIFO order ->ovflist should reversed by adding
elements to the head of the read list but not to the tail.

There is no reason why we rearm the waitiqueue upon every fetch_events
retry (for when events are found yet send_events() fails).  If nothing
else, this saves four lock operations per retry, and furthermore reduces
the scope of the lock even further.

It is currently called check_events because it, well, did exactly that.
However, since the lockless ep_events_available() call, the label no
longer checks, but just sends the events.  Rename as such.

Upon timeout, we can just exit out of the loop, without the cost of the
changing the task's state with an smp_store_mb call.  Just exit out of
the loop and be done - setting the task state afterwards will be, of
course, redundant.

This patch aims at reducing ep wq.lock hold times in epoll_wait(2).  For
the blocking case, there is no need to constantly take and drop the
spinlock, which is only needed to manipulate the waitqueue.

The call to ep_events_available() is now lockless, and only exposed to
benign races.  Here, if false positive (returns available events and
does not see another thread deleting an epi from the list) we call into
send_events and then the list's state is correctly seen.  Otoh, if a
false negative and we don't see a list_add_tail(), for example, from irq
callback, then it is rechecked again before blocking, which will see the
correct state.

In order for more accuracy to see concurrent list_del_init(), use the
list_empty_careful() variant -- of course, this won't be safe against
insertions from wakeup.

For the overflow list we obviously need to prevent load/store tearing as
we don't want to see partial values while the ready list is disabled.

The ep->ovflist is a secondary ready-list to temporarily store events
that might occur when doing sproc without holding the ep->wq.lock.  This
accounts for every time we check for ready events and also send events
back to userspace; both callbacks, particularly the latter because of
copy_to_user, can account for a non-trivial time.

As such, the unlikely() check to see if the pointer is being used, seems
both misleading and sub-optimal.  In fact, we go to an awful lot of
trouble to sync both lists, and populating the ovflist is far from an
uncommon scenario.

For example, profiling a concurrent epoll_wait(2) benchmark, with
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES shows that for a two threads a 33%
incorrect rate was seen; and when incrementally increasing the number of
epoll instances (which is used, for example for multiple queuing load
balancing models), up to a 90% incorrect rate was seen.

Similarly, by deleting the prediction, 3% throughput boost was seen
across incremental threads.

The current logic is a bit convoluted.  Lets simplify this with a
standard list_for_each_entry_safe() loop instead and just break out
after maxevents is reached.

While at it, remove an unnecessary indentation level in the loop when
there are in fact ready events.

Patch series "epoll: some miscellaneous optimizations".

The following are some incremental optimizations on some of the epoll
core.  Each patch has the details, but together, the series is seen to
shave off measurable cycles on a number of systems and workloads.

For example, on a 40-core IB, a pipetest as well as parallel
epoll_wait() benchmark show around a 20-30% increase in raw operations
per second when the box is fully occupied (incremental thread counts),
and up to 15% performance improvement with lower counts.

Passes ltp epoll related testcases.

This patch(of 6):

All callers pass the EP_MAX_NESTS constant already, so lets simplify
this a tad and get rid of the redundant parameter for nested eventpolls.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Refactor the logic to restore the sigmask before the syscall
returns into an api.
This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the
sigmask and expect the current->sigmask to be changed during
the execution and restored after the execution of the syscall.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll
and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat
versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to
be replicated otherwise.

Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled,
and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable
local irqs.  In fact, the call should never be called in irq context at
all, considering that the only path is

epoll_wait(2) -> do_epoll_wait() -> ep_poll().

When running on a 2 socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge a common pipe based
epoll_wait(2) microbenchmark, the following performance improvements are
seen:

    # threads       vanilla         dirty
	 1          1805587	    2106412
	 2          1854064	    2090762

	 64          787368	     900784

Which is a pretty constantly near 15%.

Also add a lockdep check such that we detect any mischief before
deadlocking.

an overkill in these calls as it will never be called with irqs disabled.
While ep_remove() can be called directly from EPOLL_CTL_DEL, it can also
be called when releasing the file, but this also complies with the above.
