Matt bisected a sparc64 specific issue with semctl, shmctl and msgctl to a commit from my y2038 series in linux-5.1, as I missed the custom sys_ipc() wrapper that sparc64 uses in place of the generic version that I patched. The problem is that the sys_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions in the kernel now do not allow being called with the IPC_64 flag any more, resulting in a -EINVAL error when they don't recognize the command. Instead, the correct way to do this now is to call the internal ksys_old_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions to select the API version. As we generally move towards these functions anyway, change all of sparc_ipc() to consistently use those in place of the sys_*() versions, and move the required ksys_*() declarations into linux/syscalls.h The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYSVIPC) check is required to avoid link errors when ipc is disabled.

This adds the pidfd_open() syscall. It allows a caller to retrieve pollable pidfds for a process which did not get created via CLONE_PIDFD, i.e. for a process that is created via traditional fork()/clone() calls that is only referenced by a PID: int pidfd = pidfd_open(1234, 0); ret = pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, SIGSTOP, NULL, 0); With the introduction of pidfds through CLONE_PIDFD it is possible to created pidfds at process creation time. However, a lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service managers such as systemd. Both are examples of tools that want to make use of pidfds to get reliable notification of process exit for non-parents (pidfd polling) and race-free signal sending (pidfd_send_signal()). They intend to switch to this API for process supervision/management as soon as possible. Having no way to get pollable pidfds from PID-only processes is one of the biggest blockers for them in adopting this api. With pidfd_open() making it possible to retrieve pidfds for PID-based processes we enable them to adopt this api. In line with Arnd's recent changes to consolidate syscall numbers across architectures, I have added the pidfd_open() syscall to all architectures at the same time.

This adds the clone3 system call. As mentioned several times already (cf. [7], [8]) here's the promised patchset for clone3(). We recently merged the CLONE_PIDFD patchset (cf. [1]). It took the last free flag from clone(). Independent of the CLONE_PIDFD patchset a time namespace has been discussed at Linux Plumber Conference last year and has been sent out and reviewed (cf. [5]). It is expected that it will go upstream in the not too distant future. However, it relies on the addition of the CLONE_NEWTIME flag to clone(). The only other good candidate - CLONE_DETACHED - is currently not recyclable as we have identified at least two large or widely used codebases that currently pass this flag (cf. [2], [3], and [4]). Given that CLONE_PIDFD grabbed the last clone() flag the time namespace is effectively blocked. clone3() has the advantage that it will unblock this patchset again. In general, clone3() is extensible and allows for the implementation of new features. The idea is to keep clone3() very simple and close to the original clone(), specifically, to keep on supporting old clone()-based workloads. We know there have been various creative proposals how a new process creation syscall or even api is supposed to look like. Some people even going so far as to argue that the traditional fork()+exec() split should be abandoned in favor of an in-kernel version of spawn(). Independent of whether or not we personally think spawn() is a good idea this patchset has and does not want to have anything to do with this. One stance we take is that there's no real good alternative to clone()+exec() and we need and want to support this model going forward; independent of spawn(). The following requirements guided clone3(): - bump the number of available flags - move arguments that are currently passed as separate arguments in clone() into a dedicated struct clone_args - choose a struct layout that is easy to handle on 32 and on 64 bit - choose a struct layout that is extensible - give new flags that currently need to abuse another flag's dedicated return argument in clone() their own dedicated return argument (e.g. CLONE_PIDFD) - use a separate kernel internal struct kernel_clone_args that is properly typed according to current kernel conventions in fork.c and is different from the uapi struct clone_args - port _do_fork() to use kernel_clone_args so that all process creation syscalls such as fork(), vfork(), clone(), and clone3() behave identical (Arnd suggested, that we can probably also port do_fork() itself in a separate patchset.) - ease of transition for userspace from clone() to clone3() This very much means that we do *not* remove functionality that userspace currently relies on as the latter is a good way of creating a syscall that won't be adopted. - do not try to be clever or complex: keep clone3() as dumb as possible In accordance with Linus suggestions (cf. [11]), clone3() has the following signature: /* uapi */ struct clone_args { __aligned_u64 flags; __aligned_u64 pidfd; __aligned_u64 child_tid; __aligned_u64 parent_tid; __aligned_u64 exit_signal; __aligned_u64 stack; __aligned_u64 stack_size; __aligned_u64 tls; }; /* kernel internal */ struct kernel_clone_args { u64 flags; int __user *pidfd; int __user *child_tid; int __user *parent_tid; int exit_signal; unsigned long stack; unsigned long stack_size; unsigned long tls; }; long sys_clone3(struct clone_args __user *uargs, size_t size) clone3() cleanly supports all of the supported flags from clone() and thus all legacy workloads. The advantage of sticking close to the old clone() is the low cost for userspace to switch to this new api. Quite a lot of userspace apis (e.g. pthreads) are based on the clone() syscall. With the new clone3() syscall supporting all of the old workloads and opening up the ability to add new features should make switching to it for userspace more appealing. In essence, glibc can just write a simple wrapper to switch from clone() to clone3(). There has been some interest in this patchset already. We have received a patch from the CRIU corner for clone3() that would set the PID/TID of a restored process without /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid to eliminate a race. /* User visible differences to legacy clone() */ - CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3() - CSIGNAL is deprecated It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal" argument in struct clone_args freeing up space for additional flags. This is based on a suggestion from Andrei and Linus (cf.

The system call looks like: int mfd = fsmount(int fsfd, unsigned int flags, unsigned int attr_flags); where fsfd is the file descriptor returned by fsopen(). flags can be 0 or FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC. attr_flags is a bitwise-OR of the following flags: MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY Mount read-only MOUNT_ATTR_NOSUID Ignore suid and sgid bits MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV Disallow access to device special files MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC Disallow program execution MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME Setting on how atime should be updated MOUNT_ATTR_RELATIME - Update atime relative to mtime/ctime MOUNT_ATTR_NOATIME - Do not update access times MOUNT_ATTR_STRICTATIME - Always perform atime updates MOUNT_ATTR_NODIRATIME Do not update directory access times In the event that fsmount() fails, it may be possible to get an error message by calling read() on fsfd.

Add a syscall for configuring a filesystem creation context and triggering actions upon it, to be used in conjunction with fsopen, fspick and fsmount. long fsconfig(int fs_fd, unsigned int cmd, const char *key, const void *value, int aux); Where fs_fd indicates the context, cmd indicates the action to take, key indicates the parameter name for parameter-setting actions and, if needed, value points to a buffer containing the value and aux can give more information for the value. The following command IDs are proposed: (*) FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG: No value is specified. The parameter must be boolean in nature. The key may be prefixed with "no" to invert the setting. value must be NULL and aux must be 0. (*) FSCONFIG_SET_STRING: A string value is specified. The parameter can be expecting boolean, integer, string or take a path. A conversion to an appropriate type will be attempted (which may include looking up as a path). value points to a NUL-terminated string and aux must be 0. (*) FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY: A binary blob is specified. value points to the blob and aux indicates its size. The parameter must be expecting a blob. (*) FSCONFIG_SET_PATH: A non-empty path is specified. The parameter must be expecting a path object. value points to a NUL-terminated string that is the path and aux is a file descriptor at which to start a relative lookup or AT_FDCWD. (*) FSCONFIG_SET_PATH_EMPTY: As fsconfig_set_path, but with AT_EMPTY_PATH implied. (*) FSCONFIG_SET_FD: An open file descriptor is specified. value must be NULL and aux indicates the file descriptor. (*) FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE: Trigger superblock creation. (*) FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE: Trigger superblock reconfiguration. For the "set" command IDs, the idea is that the file_system_type will point to a list of parameters and the types of value that those parameters expect to take. The core code can then do the parse and argument conversion and then give the LSM and FS a cooked option or array of options to use. Source specification is also done the same way same way, using special keys "source", "source1", "source2", etc.. [!] Note that, for the moment, the key and value are just glued back together and handed to the filesystem. Every filesystem that uses options uses match_token() and co. to do this, and this will need to be changed - but not all at once. Example usage: fd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_path, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_path_empty, "journal_path", "", journal_fd); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_fd, "journal_fd", "", journal_fd); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_flag, "user_xattr", NULL, 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_flag, "noacl", NULL, 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "sb", "1", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "errors", "continue", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "data", "journal", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "context", "unconfined_u:...", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_cmd_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); or: fd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "source", "/dev/sda1", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_cmd_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); or: fd = fsopen("afs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "source", "#grand.central.org:root.cell", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_cmd_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); or: fd = fsopen("jffs2", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_set_string, "source", "mtd0", 0); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_cmd_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: linux-api@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Provide an fsopen() system call that starts the process of preparing to create a superblock that will then be mountable, using an fd as a context handle. fsopen() is given the name of the filesystem that will be used: int mfd = fsopen(const char *fsname, unsigned int flags); where flags can be 0 or FSOPEN_CLOEXEC. For example: sfd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noatime", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "acl", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "user_xattr", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "sb", "1", 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0); fsinfo(sfd, NULL, ...); // query new superblock attributes mfd = fsmount(sfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_RELATIME); move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); sfd = fsopen("afs", -1); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "#grand.central.org:root.cell", 0); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(sfd, 0, MS_NODEV); move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); If an error is reported at any step, an error message may be available to be read() back (ENODATA will be reported if there isn't an error available) in the form: "e <subsys>:<problem>" "e SELinux:Mount on mountpoint not permitted" Once fsmount() has been called, further fsconfig() calls will incur EBUSY, even if the fsmount() fails. read() is still possible to retrieve error information. The fsopen() syscall creates a mount context and hangs it of the fd that it returns. Netlink is not used because it is optional and would make the core VFS dependent on the networking layer and also potentially add network namespace issues. Note that, for the moment, the caller must have SYS_CAP_ADMIN to use fsopen().

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1]. This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd can be used to send signals to the process it refers to. Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd). /* prototype and argument /* long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags); /* syscall number 424 */ The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]). In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo(). The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall. It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL. /* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */ The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended. /* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */ Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions. In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been requested by Eric (cf. [19]). When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls. How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it. Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as possible (cf. [4]). /* naming */ The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset: - procfd_signal() - procfd_send_signal() - taskfd_send_signal() In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]). Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_" prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding. The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name "pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals. /* zombies */ Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However, this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need ever arises. /* cross-namespace signals */ The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]). /* compat syscalls */ It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls (cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12). With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain any additional callers. /* testing */ This patch was tested on x64 and x86. /* userspace usage */ An asciinema recording for the basic functionality can be found under [9].

Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry within it? A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]). Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the pid remain reserved? A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not recycled (cf. [22]). Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21]) Do attempts to signal that fd return errors? A-05: See {Q,A}-01. Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22]) Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps. A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence, there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However, adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a future patchset (cf. [22]). Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such future applications? A-07: Yes (cf. [22]). Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking rather like an ioctl? A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above). The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also [22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here. Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24]) What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor? A-09: pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the open(2) manpage.

If we have fixed user buffers, we can map them into the kernel when we setup the io_uring. That avoids the need to do get_user_pages() for each and every IO. To utilize this feature, the application must call io_uring_register() after having setup an io_uring instance, passing in IORING_REGISTER_BUFFERS as the opcode. The argument must be a pointer to an iovec array, and the nr_args should contain how many iovecs the application wishes to map. If successful, these buffers are now mapped into the kernel, eligible for IO. To use these fixed buffers, the application must use the IORING_OP_READ_FIXED and IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED opcodes, and then set sqe->index to the desired buffer index. sqe->addr..sqe->addr+seq->len must point to somewhere inside the indexed buffer. The application may register buffers throughout the lifetime of the io_uring instance. It can call io_uring_register() with IORING_UNREGISTER_BUFFERS as the opcode to unregister the current set of buffers, and then register a new set. The application need not unregister buffers explicitly before shutting down the io_uring instance. It's perfectly valid to setup a larger buffer, and then sometimes only use parts of it for an IO. As long as the range is within the originally mapped region, it will work just fine. For now, buffers must not be file backed. If file backed buffers are passed in, the registration will fail with -1/EOPNOTSUPP. This restriction may be relaxed in the future. RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is used to check how much memory we can pin. A somewhat arbitrary 1G per buffer size is also imposed. Reviewed-by: NHannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO. IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring. The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an arbitrary submission. Two new system calls are added for this: io_uring_setup(entries, params) Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success, returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes. io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize) Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the kernel to return already completed events without waiting for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring without entering the kernel. With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface, and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all. For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for completions if it wants to wait for them to occur. Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly as a sync interface.

A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit architectures as well. The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx() to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them on 32-bit architectures. Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the future. In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze, mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag. For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k, mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the two groups of architectures. The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl() does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed accordingly. As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now, but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface. A small downside is that on architectures that do set ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol. I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for consistency, but decided against that for now. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Once sys_rt_sigtimedwait() gets changed to a 64-bit time_t, we have to provide compatibility support for existing binaries.

recvmmsg() takes two arguments to pointers of structures that differ between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures: mmsghdr and timespec. For y2038 compatbility, we are changing the native system call from timespec to __kernel_timespec with a 64-bit time_t (in another patch), and use the existing compat system call on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures for compatibility with traditional 32-bit user space. As we now have two variants of recvmmsg() for 32-bit tasks that are both different from the variant that we use on 64-bit tasks, this means we also require two compat system calls! The solution I picked is to flip things around: The existing compat_sys_recvmmsg() call gets moved from net/compat.c into net/socket.c and now handles the case for old user space on all architectures that have set CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME. A new compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64() call gets added in the old place for 64-bit architectures only, this one handles the case of a compat mmsghdr structure combined with __kernel_timespec. In the indirect sys_socketcall(), we now need to call either do_sys_recvmmsg() or __compat_sys_recvmmsg(), depending on what kind of architecture we are on. For compat_sys_socketcall(), no such change is needed, we always call __compat_sys_recvmmsg(). I decided to not add a new SYS_RECVMMSG_TIME64 socketcall: Any libc implementation for 64-bit time_t will need significant changes including an updated asm/unistd.h, and it seems better to consistently use the separate syscalls that configuration, leaving the socketcall only for backward compatibility with 32-bit time_t based libc. The naming is asymmetric for the moment, so both existing syscalls entry points keep their names, while the new ones are recvmmsg_time32 and compat_recvmmsg_time64 respectively. I expect that we will rename the compat syscalls later as we start using generated syscall tables everywhere and add these entry points. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The const qualifier causes problems for any code that wants to write to the third argument of the seccomp syscall, as we will do in a future patch in this series. The third argument to the seccomp syscall is documented as void *, so rather than just dropping the const, let's switch everything to use void * as well.

There are four generations of utimes() syscalls: utime(), utimes(), futimesat() and utimensat(), each one being a superset of the previous one. For y2038 support, we have to add another one, which is the same as the existing utimensat() but always passes 64-bit times_t based timespec values. There are currently 10 architectures that only use utimensat(), two that use utimes(), futimesat() and utimensat() but not utime(), and 11 architectures that have all four, and those define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME in order to get a sys_utime implementation. Since all the new architectures only want utimensat(), moving all the legacy entry points into a common __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME guard simplifies the logic. Only alpha and ia64 grow a tiny bit as they now also get an unused sys_utime(), but it didn't seem worth the extra complexity of adding yet another ifdef for those.

When 32-bit architectures get changed to support 64-bit time_t, utimensat() needs to use the new __kernel_timespec structure as its argument.

As we do for the other syscalls that have timespec arguments, we reuse the 'compat' syscall entry points to implement the traditional four interfaces, and only leave the new utimensat() as a native handler, so that the same code gets used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels on each syscall.

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls: Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise), and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility. The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h: old new --- --- compat_time_t old_time32_t struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32 struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32 struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32 ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32() get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32() put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32() compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32() compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32() As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular, not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version of the respective interfaces. I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we will need a replacement at all. This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the sys_personality() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_personality(). Since ksys_personality is trivial, it is implemented directly in <linux/syscalls.h>, as we do for ksys_close() and friends. This helper is necessary to enable conversion of arm64's syscall handling to use pt_regs wrappers.

gcc-8 warns for every single definition of a system call entry point, e.g.: include/linux/compat.h:56:18: error: 'compat_sys_rt_sigprocmask' alias between functions of incompatible types 'long int(int, compat_sigset_t *, compat_sigset_t *, compat_size_t)' {aka 'long int(int, struct <anonymous> *, struct <anonymous> *, unsigned int)'} and 'long int(long int, long int, long int, long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias] asmlinkage long compat_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__))\ ^~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/compat.h:45:2: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx' COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx(4, _##name, __VA_ARGS__) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ kernel/signal.c:2601:1: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4' COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4(rt_sigprocmask, int, how, compat_sigset_t __user *, nset, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/compat.h:60:18: note: aliased declaration here asmlinkage long compat_SyS##name(__MAP(x,__SC_LONG,__VA_ARGS__))\ ^~~~~~~~~~ The new warning seems reasonable in principle, but it doesn't help us here, since we rely on the type mismatch to sanitize the system call arguments. After I reported this as GCC PR82435, a new -Wno-attribute-alias option was added that could be used to turn the warning off globally on the command line, but I'd prefer to do it a little more fine-grained. Interestingly, turning a warning off and on again inside of a single macro doesn't always work, in this case I had to add an extra statement inbetween and decided to copy the __SC_TEST one from the native syscall to the compat syscall macro.

timer_set/gettime and timerfd_set/get apis use struct itimerspec at the user interface layer. struct itimerspec is not y2038-safe. Change these interfaces to use y2038-safe struct __kernel_itimerspec instead. This will help define new syscalls when 32bit architectures select CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the current CPU number value from user-space. * Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics) Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations. The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path. Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases. Test hardware: arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread. * Per-CPU statistic counter increment getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 344.0 31.4 11.0 x86-64: 15.3 2.0 7.7 * LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer per-cpu buffer getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 2502.0 2250.0 1.1 x86-64: 117.4 98.0 1.2 * liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 751.0 128.5 5.8 x86-64: 53.4 28.6 1.9 * jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on rseq 2016 implementation): The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%. * Reading the current CPU number Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from memory. Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over alternative approaches: - 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc - 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso executing a "lsl" instruction, - 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction, - Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable sequences. - The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the case for the lsl-based x86 vdso. On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already using the gs segment selector for other purposes. Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) Machine model: Cubietruck - Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns - glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns - getcpu system call: 234.9 ns x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz: - Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns - Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns - "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns - glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns - getcpu system call: 53.9 ns - Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset) Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the scheduler: Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1 kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig, restartable sequences series applied. * CONFIG_RSEQ=n avg.: 41.37 s std.dev.: 0.36 s * CONFIG_RSEQ=y avg.: 40.46 s std.dev.: 0.33 s - Size On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is 567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

This is the io_getevents equivalent of ppoll/pselect and allows to properly mix signals and aio completions (especially with IOCB_CMD_POLL) and atomically executes the following sequence: sigset_t origmask; pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigmask, &origmask); ret = io_getevents(ctx, min_nr, nr, events, timeout); pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &origmask, NULL); Note that unlike many other signal related calls we do not pass a sigmask size, as that would get us to 7 arguments, which aren't easily supported by the syscall infrastructure. It seems a lot less painful to just add a new syscall variant in the unlikely case we're going to increase the sigset size.
