      xattr: guard against simultaneous glibc header inclusion · ea1a8217
      Serge Hallyn 提交于
      If the glibc xattr.h header is included after the uapi header,
      compilation fails due to an enum re-using a #define from the uapi
      header.
      
      Protect against this by guarding the define and enum inclusions against
      each other.

      kernel/groups.c: remove return value of set_groups · 8f6c5ffc
      Wang YanQing 提交于
      After commit 6307f8fe ("security: remove dead hook task_setgroups"),
      set_groups will always return zero, so we could just remove return value
      of set_groups.
      
      This patch reduces code size, and simplfies code to use set_groups,
      because we don't need to check its return value any more.

      kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent · bcccff93
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics.  The
      point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
      (UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
      it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
      fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take.  There
      are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
      account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g.  rtnl_mutex,
      net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.
      
      Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
      execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
      with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.
      
      Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
      to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
      to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
      automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race.  However, there was a
      deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
      slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
      to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.
      
      Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
      slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
      to find this out or reproduce the issue.
      
      BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
      UMH_NO_WAIT.  Previous one was made by commit f520360d ("kobject:
      don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
      arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
      05f54c13 ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
      It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

      drop_caches: add some documentation and info message · 5509a5d2
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
      suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
      running in "tip top shape".  Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
      will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
      
      If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
      Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
      find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
      "workaround" to limit the size of the caches.  On the contrary, there
      have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
      cache dropping.
      
      Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
      for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
      production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.
      
      Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
      abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

      mm: remove read_cache_page_async() · 67f9fd91
      Sasha Levin 提交于
      This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
      anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.
      
      read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
      cache without waiting for it to complete.  This happens when the
      appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
      releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
      completion routine to do that.  This never actually happened anywhere in
      the code.
      
      read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:
      
      - read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
        the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().
      
      - JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
        function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
        before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.
      
      - CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
        a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
        reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
        returns.
      
      To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
      read_cache_page_async().  While there are filler callbacks that do async
      reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
      read_cache_page().
      
      This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
      page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

      include/linux/mm.h: remove ifdef condition · c558784f
      Rashika Kheria 提交于
      The ifdef conditions in include/linux/mm.h presents three cases:
      
       - !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP) && !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID)
      
         There is no actual definition of function but include/linux/mm.h has a
         static inline stub defined.
      
       - defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP) && !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID)
      
         linux/mm.h does not define a prototype, but mm/page_alloc.c defines
         the function.
      
         Hence, compiler reports the following warning:
      
           mm/page_alloc.c:4300:15: warning: no previous prototype for `__early_pfn_to_nid' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
      
       - defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID)
      
         The architecture defines the function, and linux/mm.h has a
         prototype.
      
      Thus, join the conditions of Case 2 and 3 ie eliminate the ifdef
      condition of CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID to eliminate the missing
      prototype warning from file mm/page_alloc.c.

      mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check · 449dd698
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
      out their page pointers.  But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
      place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
      reclaimed.  This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
      after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
      any of those pages actually refaulting.  The shadow entries will just
      sit there and waste memory.  In the worst case, the shadow entries will
      accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
      
      To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
      exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list.  Per-NUMA
      rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
      be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
      otherwise independent cache workloads.  A simple shrinker will then
      reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
      
      A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
      shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
      
      1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
         from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
         deletion.  To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
         parent.  This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
         member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
      
      2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
         regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
         the shadow node LRU list.  The current entry count is an unsigned
         int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
         can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
      
      3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
         in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
         node.  The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
         rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
      
      4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
         head inside the node.  This does increase the size of the node, but
         it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

      mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing · a528910e
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists.  One
      list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
      holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
      The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
      to benefit from caching in the past.  We call the recently usedbut
      ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
      thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
      cache.
      
      This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to
      detect working set changes from the inactive list size.  By maintaining
      a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used
      pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently
      apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not
      just overall eviction speed.
      
      Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed.
      When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the
      now-empty page cache radix tree slot.  On refault, the minimum access
      distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page
      should be part of the active list or not.
      
      This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of
      the inactive list.  And it's the foundation to further improve the
      protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

      mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache · 91b0abe3
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
      evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
      iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
      reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
      code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
      
      Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
      under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
      for this flag before installing shadow pages.

      NULL for page cache holes, just as before.  But provide a raw version of

      use it.

      mm: filemap: move radix tree hole searching here · e7b563bb
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
      example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
      surrounding a fault.
      
      It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
      "empty tree slot".  But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
      descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
      evicted from memory.
      
      Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
      operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
      of "page cache hole".

      mm: vmstat: fix UP zone state accounting · 6a3ed212
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Summary:
      
      The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists.  One
      list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
      holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
      The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
      to benefit from caching in the past.  We call the recently used list
      "inactive list" and the frequently used list "active list".
      
      Currently, the VM aims for a 1:1 ratio between the lists, which is the
      "perfect" trade-off between the ability to *protect* frequently used
      pages and the ability to *detect* frequently used pages.  This means
      that working set changes bigger than half of cache memory go undetected
      and thrash indefinitely, whereas working sets bigger than half of cache
      memory are unprotected against used-once streams that don't even need
      caching.
      
      This happens on file servers and media streaming servers, where the
      popular files and file sections change over time.  Even though the
      individual files might be smaller than half of memory, concurrent access
      to many of them may still result in their inter-reference distance being
      greater than half of memory.  It's also been reported as a problem on
      database workloads that switch back and forth between tables that are
      bigger than half of memory.  In these cases the VM never recognizes the
      new working set and will for the remainder of the workload thrash disk
      data which could easily live in memory.
      
      Historically, every reclaim scan of the inactive list also took a
      smaller number of pages from the tail of the active list and moved them
      to the head of the inactive list.  This model gave established working
      sets more gracetime in the face of temporary use-once streams, but
      ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
      thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
      cache.
      
      This series solves the problem by maintaining a history of pages evicted
      from the inactive list, enabling the VM to detect frequently used pages
      regardless of inactive list size and facilitate working set transitions.
      
      Tests:
      
      The reported database workload is easily demonstrated on a 8G machine
      with two filesets a 6G.  This fio workload operates on one set first,
      then switches to the other.  The VM should obviously always cache the
      set that the workload is currently using.
      
      This test is based on a problem encountered by Citus Data customers:
        http://citusdata.com/blog/72-linux-memory-manager-and-your-big-data
      
      unpatched:
        db1: READ: io=98304MB, aggrb=885559KB/s, minb=885559KB/s, maxb=885559KB/s, mint= 113672msec, maxt= 113672msec

        user    0m14.714s
        sys     0m31.233s
      
      As can be seen, the unpatched kernel simply never adapts to the
      workingset change and db2 is stuck indefinitely with secondary storage
      speed.  The patched kernel needs 2-3 iterations over db2 before it
      replaces db1 and reaches full memory speed.  Given the unbounded
      negative affect of the existing VM behavior, these patches should be
      considered correctness fixes rather than performance optimizations.
      
      Another test resembles a fileserver or streaming server workload, where
      data in excess of memory size is accessed at different frequencies.
      There is very hot data accessed at a high frequency.  Machines should be
      fitted so that the hot set of such a workload can be fully cached or all
      bets are off.  Then there is a very big (compared to available memory)
      set of data that is used-once or at a very low frequency; this is what
      drives the inactive list and does not really benefit from caching.
      Lastly, there is a big set of warm data in between that is accessed at
      medium frequencies and benefits from caching the pages between the first
      and last streamer of each burst.
      
      unpatched:
         hot: READ: io=128000MB, aggrb=160693KB/s, minb=160693KB/s, maxb=160693KB/s, mint=815665msec, maxt=815665msec

         sdb: ios=797960/4, merge=11763/1, ticks=4307910/796, in_queue=4308380, util=100.00%
      
      patched:
         hot: READ: io=128000MB, aggrb=160678KB/s, minb=160678KB/s, maxb=160678KB/s, mint=815740msec, maxt=815740msec
        warm: READ: io= 81920MB, aggrb=147747KB/s, minb= 36936KB/s, maxb= 40960KB/s, mint=512000msec, maxt=567767msec
        cold: READ: io= 30720MB, aggrb= 40960KB/s, minb= 40960KB/s, maxb= 40960KB/s, mint=768000msec, maxt=768000msec
         sdb: ios=596514/4, merge=9341/1, ticks=2395362/997, in_queue=2396484, util=79.18%
      
      In both kernels, the hot set is propagated to the active list and then
      served from cache.
      
      In both kernels, the beginning of the warm set is propagated to the
      active list as well, but in the unpatched case the active list
      eventually takes up half of memory and no new pages from the warm set
      get activated, despite repeated access, and despite most of the active
      list soon being stale.  The patched kernel on the other hand detects the
      thrashing and manages to keep this cache window rolling through the data
      set.  This frees up enough IO bandwidth that the cold set is served at
      full speed as well and disk utilization even drops by 20%.
      
      For reference, this same test was performed with the traditional
      demotion mechanism, where deactivation is coupled to inactive list
      reclaim.  However, this had the same outcome as the unpatched kernel:
      while the warm set does indeed get activated continuously, it is forced
      out of the active list by inactive list pressure, which is dictated
      primarily by the unrelated cold set.  The warm set is evicted before
      subsequent streamers can benefit from it, even though there would be
      enough space available to cache the pages of interest.
      
      Costs:
      
      Page reclaim used to shrink the radix trees but now the tree nodes are
      reused for shadow entries, where the cost depends heavily on the page
      cache access patterns.  However, with workloads that maintain spatial or
      temporal locality, the shadow entries are either refaulted quickly or
      reclaimed along with the inode object itself.  Workloads that will
      experience a memory cost increase are those that don't really benefit
      from caching in the first place.
      
      A more predictable alternative would be a fixed-cost separate pool of
      shadow entries, but this would incur relatively higher memory cost for
      well-behaved workloads at the benefit of cornercases.  It would also
      make the shadow entry lookup more costly compared to storing them
      directly in the cache structure.
      
      Future:
      
      To simplify the merging process, this patch set is implementing thrash
      detection on a global per-zone level only for now, but the design is
      such that it can be extended to memory cgroups as well.  All we need to
      do is store the unique cgroup ID along the node and zone identifier
      inside the eviction cookie to identify the lruvec.
      
      Right now we have a fixed ratio (50:50) between inactive and active list
      but we already have complaints about working sets exceeding half of
      memory being pushed out of the cache by simple streaming in the
      background.  Ultimately, we want to adjust this ratio and allow for a
      much smaller inactive list.  These patches are an essential step in this
      direction because they decouple the VMs ability to detect working set
      changes from the inactive list size.  This would allow us to base the
      inactive list size on the combined readahead window size for example and
      potentially protect a much bigger working set.
      
      It's also a big step towards activating pages with a reuse distance
      larger than memory, as long as they are the most frequently used pages
      in the workload.  This will require knowing more about the access
      frequency of active pages than what we measure right now, so it's also
      deferred in this series.
      
      Another possibility of having thrashing information would be to revisit
      the idea of local reclaim in the form of zero-config memory control
      groups.  Instead of having allocating tasks go straight to global
      reclaim, they could try to reclaim the pages in the memcg they are part
      of first as long as the group is not thrashing.  This would allow a user
      to drop e.g.  a back-up job in an otherwise unconfigured memcg and it
      would only inflate (and possibly do global reclaim) until it has enough
      memory to do proper readahead.  But once it reaches that point and stops
      thrashing it would just recycle its own used-once pages without kicking
      out the cache of any other tasks in the system more than necessary.
      
      This patch (of 10):
      
      Fengguang Wu's build testing spotted problems with inc_zone_state() and
      dec_zone_state() on UP configurations in out-of-tree patches.
      
      inc_zone_state() is declared but not defined, dec_zone_state() is
      missing entirely.
      
      Just like with *_zone_page_state(), they can be defined like their
      preemption-unsafe counterparts on UP.

      mm, hugetlb: fix race in region tracking · 7b24d861
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
      Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
      When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
      mmap_sem (exclusively).  This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
      the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
      concurrently.
      
      To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
      manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Currently, to track reserved and allocated regions, we use two different
      ways, depending on the mapping.  For MAP_SHARED, we use
      address_mapping's private_list and, while for MAP_PRIVATE, we use a
      resv_map.
      
      Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a
      region structure to fine grained lock, and this difference hinder it.
      So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
      using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

      Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
      don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
      successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
      fast-paths.
      
      Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
      pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
      seqcount interface.
      
      This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
      where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
      is inverted from its previous incarnation.

      bdi: avoid oops on device removal · 5acda9d1
      Jan Kara 提交于
      After commit 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
      implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
      are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
      set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.
      
      This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
      flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
      balance_dirty_pages() or other places.
      
      Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
      checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

      net: Add a test to see if a skb is freeable in irq context · 574f7194
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Currently netpoll and skb_release_head_state assume that a skb is
      freeable in hard irq context except when skb->destructor is set.
      
      The reality is far from this.  So add a function skb_irq_freeable to
      compute the full test and in the process be the living documentation
      of what the requirements are of actually freeing a skb in hard irq
      context.

      net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file · 408eccce
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is
      triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set:
      
        ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined!
      
      The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier,
      so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select
      it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to
      select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK
      or similar that would pull it in automatically.
      
      This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP
      program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits
      to drivers.
      
      This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw()
      API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also,
      the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it
      can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]).
      
      In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg
      tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via
      `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the
      commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when
      there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need
      to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead,
      a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old
      code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very
      same filter.

      HID: uhid: Add UHID_CREATE2 + UHID_INPUT2 · 4522643a
      Petri Gynther 提交于
      UHID_CREATE2:
      HID report descriptor data (rd_data) is an array in struct uhid_create2_req,
      instead of a pointer. Enables use from languages that don't support pointers,
      e.g. Python.
      
      UHID_INPUT2:
      Data array is the last field of struct uhid_input2_req. Enables userspace to
      write only the required bytes to kernel (ev.type + ev.u.input2.size + the part
      of the data array that matters), instead of the entire struct uhid_input2_req.
      
      Note:
      UHID_CREATE2 increases the total size of struct uhid_event slightly, thus
      increasing the size of messages that are queued for userspace. However, this
      won't affect the userspace processing of these events.

      net: filter: rework/optimize internal BPF interpreter's instruction set · bd4cf0ed
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      This patch replaces/reworks the kernel-internal BPF interpreter with
      an optimized BPF instruction set format that is modelled closer to
      mimic native instruction sets and is designed to be JITed with one to
      one mapping. Thus, the new interpreter is noticeably faster than the
      current implementation of sk_run_filter(); mainly for two reasons:
      
      1. Fall-through jumps:
      
        BPF jump instructions are forced to go either 'true' or 'false'
        branch which causes branch-miss penalty. The new BPF jump
        instructions have only one branch and fall-through otherwise,
        which fits the CPU branch predictor logic better. `perf stat`
        shows drastic difference for branch-misses between the old and
        new code.
      
      2. Jump-threaded implementation of interpreter vs switch
         statement:
      
        Instead of single table-jump at the top of 'switch' statement,
        gcc will now generate multiple table-jump instructions, which
        helps CPU branch predictor logic.
      
      Note that the verification of filters is still being done through
      sk_chk_filter() in classical BPF format, so filters from user- or
      kernel space are verified in the same way as we do now, and same
      restrictions/constraints hold as well.
      
      We reuse current BPF JIT compilers in a way that this upgrade would
      even be fine as is, but nevertheless allows for a successive upgrade
      of BPF JIT compilers to the new format.
      
      The internal instruction set migration is being done after the
      probing for JIT compilation, so in case JIT compilers are able to
      create a native opcode image, we're going to use that, and in all
      other cases we're doing a follow-up migration of the BPF program's
      instruction set, so that it can be transparently run in the new
      interpreter.
      
      In short, the *internal* format extends BPF in the following way (more
      details can be taken from the appended documentation):
      
        - Number of registers increase from 2 to 10
        - Register width increases from 32-bit to 64-bit
        - Conditional jt/jf targets replaced with jt/fall-through
        - Adds signed > and >= insns
        - 16 4-byte stack slots for register spill-fill replaced
          with up to 512 bytes of multi-use stack space
        - Introduction of bpf_call insn and register passing convention
          for zero overhead calls from/to other kernel functions
        - Adds arithmetic right shift and endianness conversion insns
        - Adds atomic_add insn
        - Old tax/txa insns are replaced with 'mov dst,src' insn
      
      Performance of two BPF filters generated by libpcap resp. bpf_asm
      was measured on x86_64, i386 and arm32 (other libpcap programs
      have similar performance differences):
      
      fprog #1 is taken from Documentation/networking/filter.txt:
      tcpdump -i eth0 port 22 -dd
      
      fprog #2 is taken from 'man tcpdump':
      tcpdump -i eth0 'tcp port 22 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) -
         ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' -dd
      
      Raw performance data from BPF micro-benchmark: SK_RUN_FILTER on the
      same SKB (cache-hit) or 10k SKBs (cache-miss); time in ns per call,
      smaller is better:

      old BPF jit  26       182         37       202
      new BPF jit TBD
      
      Thus, without changing any userland BPF filters, applications on
      top of AF_PACKET (or other families) such as libpcap/tcpdump, cls_bpf
      classifier, netfilter's xt_bpf, team driver's load-balancing mode,
      and many more will have better interpreter filtering performance.
      
      While we are replacing the internal BPF interpreter, we also need
      to convert seccomp BPF in the same step to make use of the new
      internal structure since it makes use of lower-level API details
      without being further decoupled through higher-level calls like
      sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy}(), for example.
      
      Just as for normal socket filtering, also seccomp BPF experiences
      a time-to-verdict speedup:
      
      05-sim-long_jumps.c of libseccomp was used as micro-benchmark:
      
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
      
        rc = seccomp_load(ctx);
      
        for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
           syscall(199, 100);
      
      'short filter' has 2 rules
      'large filter' has 200 rules
      
      'short filter' performance is slightly better on x86_64/i386/arm32
      'large filter' is much faster on x86_64 and i386 and shows no
                     difference on arm32

      BPF filters generated by seccomp are very branchy, so the new
      internal BPF performance is better than the old one. Performance
      gains will be even higher when BPF JIT is committed for the
      new structure, which is planned in future work (as successive
      JIT migrations).
      
      BPF has also been stress-tested with trinity's BPF fuzzer.

      net: ptp: do not reimplement PTP/BPF classifier · 164d8c66
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      There are currently pch_gbe, cpts, and ixp4xx_eth drivers that open-code
      and reimplement a BPF classifier for the PTP protocol. Since all of them
      effectively do the very same thing and load the very same PTP/BPF filter,
      we can just consolidate that code by introducing ptp_classify_raw() in
      the time-stamping core framework which can be used in drivers.
      
      As drivers get initialized after bootstrapping the core networking
      subsystem, they can make use of ptp_insns wrapped through
      ptp_classify_raw(), which allows to simplify and remove PTP classifier

      net: ptp: use sk_unattached_filter_create() for BPF · e62d2df0
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This patch migrates an open-coded sk_run_filter() implementation with
      proper use of the BPF API, that is, sk_unattached_filter_create(). This
      migration is needed, as we will be internally transforming the filter
      to a different representation, and therefore needs to be decoupled.
      
      It is okay to do so as skb_timestamping_init() is called during
      initialization of the network stack in core initcall via sock_init().
      This would effectively also allow for PTP filters to be jit compiled if
      bpf_jit_enable is set.
      
      For better readability, there are also some newlines introduced, also
      ptp_classify.h is only in kernel space.

      net: filter: move filter accounting to filter core · fbc907f0
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This patch basically does two things, i) removes the extern keyword
      from the include/linux/filter.h file to be more consistent with the
      rest of Joe's changes, and ii) moves filter accounting into the filter
      core framework.
      
      Filter accounting mainly done through sk_filter_{un,}charge() take
      care of the case when sockets are being cloned through sk_clone_lock()
      so that removal of the filter on one socket won't result in eviction
      as it's still referenced by the other.
      
      These functions actually belong to net/core/filter.c and not
      include/net/sock.h as we want to keep all that in a central place.
      It's also not in fast-path so uninlining them is fine and even allows
      us to get rd of sk_filter_release_rcu()'s EXPORT_SYMBOL and a forward
      declaration.

      net: filter: keep original BPF program around · a3ea269b
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      In order to open up the possibility to internally transform a BPF program
      into an alternative and possibly non-trivial reversible representation, we
      need to keep the original BPF program around, so that it can be passed back
      to user space w/o the need of a complex decoder.
      
      The reason for that use case resides in commit a8fc9277 ("sk-filter:
      Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)"), that is, the ability
      to retrieve the currently attached BPF filter from a given socket used
      mainly by the checkpoint-restore project, for example.
      
      Therefore, we add two helpers sk_{store,release}_orig_filter for taking
      care of that. In the sk_unattached_filter_create() case, there's no such
      possibility/requirement to retrieve a loaded BPF program. Therefore, we
      can spare us the work in that case.
      
      This approach will simplify and slightly speed up both, sk_get_filter()
      and sock_diag_put_filterinfo() handlers as we won't need to successively
      decode filters anymore through sk_decode_filter(). As we still need
      sk_decode_filter() later on, we're keeping it around.

      net: filter: add jited flag to indicate jit compiled filters · f8bbbfc3
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This patch adds a jited flag into sk_filter struct in order to indicate
      whether a filter is currently jited or not. The size of sk_filter is
      not being expanded as the 32 bit 'len' member allows upper bits to be
      reused since a filter can currently only grow as large as BPF_MAXINSNS.
      
      Therefore, there's enough room also for other in future needed flags to
      reuse 'len' field if necessary. The jited flag also allows for having
      alternative interpreter functions running as currently, we can only
      detect jit compiled filters by testing fp->bpf_func to not equal the
      address of sk_run_filter().

      ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags() · 00a1a053
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
      S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
      EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
      where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
      window of time.
