# 1.12 29-Jun-2021 dholland

Add containment for the cloning devices hack in vn_open.

Cloning devices (and also things like /dev/stderr) work by allocating
a struct file, stuffing it in the file table (which is a layer
violation), stuffing the file descriptor number for it in a magic
field of struct lwp (which is gross), and then "failing" with one of
two magic errnos, EDUPFD or EMOVEFD.

Before this commit, all callers of vn_open in the kernel (there are
quite a few) were expected to check for these errors and handle the
situation. Needless to say, none of them except for open() itself did,
resulting in internal negative errnos being returned to userspace.

This hack is fairly deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated all at
once. This commit adds logic to handle the magic errnos inside
vn_open; now on success vn_open returns either a vnode or an integer
file descriptor, along with a flag that says whether the underlying
code requested EDUPFD or EMOVEFD. Callers not prepared to cope with
file descriptors can pass NULL for the extra return values, in which
case if a file descriptor would be produced vn_open fails with
EOPNOTSUPP.

Since I'm rearranging vn_open's signature anyway, stop exposing struct
nameidata. Instead, take three arguments: an optional vnode to use as
the starting point (like openat()), the path, and additional namei
flags to use, restricted to NOCHROOT and TRYEMULROOT. (Other namei
behavior, e.g. NOFOLLOW, can be requested via the open flags.)

This change requires a kernel bump. Ride the one an hour ago.
(That was supposed to be coordinated; did not intend to let an hour
slip by. My fault.)

Move proc_lock into the data segment. It was dynamically allocated because
at the time we had mutex_obj_alloc() but not __cacheline_aligned.

# 1.10 01-Feb-2020 riastradh

Load struct fdfile::ff_file with atomic_load_consume.

Exceptions: when we're only testing whether it's there, not about to
dereference it.

Note: We do not use atomic_store_release to set it because the
preceding mutex_exit should be enough.

(That said, it's not clear the mutex_enter/exit is needed unless
refcnt > 0 already, in which case maybe it would be a win to switch
from the membar implied by mutex_enter to the membar implied by
atomic_store_release -- which I would generally expect to be much
cheaper. And a little clearer without a long comment.)


# 1.9 01-Feb-2020 riastradh

Load struct filedesc::fd_dt with atomic_load_consume.

Exceptions: when fd_refcnt <= 1, or when holding fd_lock.

While here:

- Restore KASSERT(mutex_owned(&fdp->fd_lock)) in fd_unused.
=> This is used only in fd_close and fd_abort, where it holds.
- Move bounds check assertion in fd_putfile to where it matters.
- Store fd_dt with atomic_store_release.
- Move load of fd_dt under lock in knote_fdclose.
- Omit membar_consumer in fdesc_readdir.
=> atomic_load_consume serves the same purpose now.
=> Was needed only on alpha anyway.

Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname
and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.

Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).

The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.

More changes to improve kern_descrip.c.

- Avoid atomics in more places.
- Remove the per-descriptor mutex, and just use filedesc_t::fd_lock.
It was only being used to synchronize close, and in any case we needed
to take fd_lock to free the descriptor slot.
- Optimize certain paths for the <NDFDFILE case.
- Sprinkle more comments and assertions.
- Cache more stuff in filedesc_t.
- Fix numerous minor bugs spotted along the way.
- Restructure how the open files array is maintained, for clarity and so
that we can eliminate the membar_consumer() call in fd_getfile(). This is
mostly syntactic sugar; the main functional change is that fd_nfiles now
lives alongside the open file array.

Some measurements with libmicro:

- simple file syscalls are like close() are between 1 to 10% faster.
- some nice improvements, e.g. poll(1000) which is ~50% faster.

After this change, the kernel source modules are in a partitioned

Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname
and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.

Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).

The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.

More changes to improve kern_descrip.c.

- Avoid atomics in more places.
- Remove the per-descriptor mutex, and just use filedesc_t::fd_lock.
It was only being used to synchronize close, and in any case we needed
to take fd_lock to free the descriptor slot.
- Optimize certain paths for the <NDFDFILE case.
- Sprinkle more comments and assertions.
- Cache more stuff in filedesc_t.
- Fix numerous minor bugs spotted along the way.
- Restructure how the open files array is maintained, for clarity and so
that we can eliminate the membar_consumer() call in fd_getfile(). This is
mostly syntactic sugar; the main functional change is that fd_nfiles now
lives alongside the open file array.

Some measurements with libmicro:

- simple file syscalls are like close() are between 1 to 10% faster.
- some nice improvements, e.g. poll(1000) which is ~50% faster.

Move fd_closeexec() and fd_checkstd() from kern_descrip to their
own file, subr_exec_fd.c (they're used only by exec).

After this change, the kernel source modules are in a partitioned
enough state to allow building a system without vfs at all.
