ipc_findkey() used to scan all objects to look for the wanted key. This
is slow when using a high number of keys. This change adds an rhashtable
of kern_ipc_perm objects in ipc_ids, so that one lookup cease to be O(n).

This change gives a 865% improvement of benchmark reaim.jobs_per_min on a
56 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v3 @ 2.30GHz with 256G memory [1]

following loop executed right after a reboot took, without and with this
change:

This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are:
. This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a
root idr structure.
. The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
. The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
. there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
argument: it is now declared as a void
. since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
have it as an argument to the routine

diff cf8e8658 Thu Oct 20 07:54:33 MDT 2022 Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

diff 7b453719 Fri May 13 05:39:22 MDT 2022 Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

and 6.x:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5';
did you mean '-Wno-fallthrough'?

diff 5a0e3ad6 Wed Mar 24 02:04:11 MDT 2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

diff f7bf3df8 Tue Apr 29 02:00:39 MDT 2008 Nadia Derbey <Nadia.Derbey@bull.net> ipc: scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem

On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In
some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may
cause problems for smaller systems.

The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message
queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem.

Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to
each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the
number of ipc namespaces too.

Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug
management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug
notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked
together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is
defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it
registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The
callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier
chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the
ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's
lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns
notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global
workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns
notifier chain.

Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the
ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each
time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to
recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or
removed.

When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it
upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch
does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has
been changed from procfs or sysctl().

Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back
automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.
This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added
back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again.

This patch:

Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is
now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem.

Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).

. The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
. The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
. there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
argument: it is now declared as a void
. since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
have it as an argument to the routine

ipc_findkey() used to scan all objects to look for the wanted key. This
is slow when using a high number of keys. This change adds an rhashtable
of kern_ipc_perm objects in ipc_ids, so that one lookup cease to be O(n).

This change gives a 865% improvement of benchmark reaim.jobs_per_min on a
56 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v3 @ 2.30GHz with 256G memory [1]

Other (more micro) benchmark results, by the author: On an i5 laptop, the
following loop executed right after a reboot took, without and with this
change:

for (int i = 0, k=0x424242; i < KEYS; ++i)
semget(k++, 1, IPC_CREAT | 0600);

*: unreliable measure: high variance

The duration for a lookup-only usage was obtained by the same loop once
the keys are present:

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un->semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un->semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
an id number.

There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.

The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
but this is not obvious from the function name.

Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply
move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

This patch (of 3):

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata
between /proc/sysvipc/shm (0444) and the SHM_STAT shmctl command. The
later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can
be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed
anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the shm metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all
the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so
we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the
procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some
applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and
can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some
reported cases.

This patch introduces a new SHM_STAT_ANY command such that the shm ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata
between /proc/sysvipc/shm (0444) and the SHM_STAT shmctl command. The
later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can
be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed
anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the shm metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all
the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so
we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the
procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some
applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and
can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some
reported cases.

This patch introduces a new SHM_STAT_ANY command such that the shm ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.

The following patches adds the discussed (see [1]) new command for shm

In newseg when changing shm_cprid and shm_lprid from pid_t to struct
pid* I misread the kvmalloc as kvzalloc and thought shp was
initialized to 0. As that is not the case it is not safe to for the
error handling to address shm_cprid and shm_lprid before they are
initialized.

Therefore move the cleanup of shm_cprid and shm_lprid from the no_file
error cleanup path to the no_id error cleanup path. Ensuring that an
early error exit won't cause the oops above.

Patch series "shm: shm_rmid_forced feature fixes".

Some time ago I met kernel crash after CRIU restore procedure,
fortunately, it was CRIU restore, so, I had dump files and could do
restore many times and crash reproduced easily. After some
investigation I've constructed the minimal reproducer. It was found
that it's use-after-free and it happens only if sysctl
kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1.

The key of the problem is that the exit_shm() function not handles shp's
object destroy when task->sysvshm.shm_clist contains items from
different IPC namespaces. In most cases this list will contain only
items from one IPC namespace.

How can this list contain object from different namespaces? The
exit_shm() function is designed to clean up this list always when
process leaves IPC namespace. But we made a mistake a long time ago and
did not add a exit_shm() call into the setns() syscall procedures.

The first idea was just to add this call to setns() syscall but it
obviously changes semantics of setns() syscall and that's
userspace-visible change. So, I gave up on this idea.

The first real attempt to address the issue was just to omit forced
destroy if we meet shp object not from current task IPC namespace [1].
But that was not the best idea because task->sysvshm.shm_clist was
protected by rwsem which belongs to current task IPC namespace. It
means that list corruption may occur.

Second approach is just extend exit_shm() to properly handle shp's from
different IPC namespaces [2]. This is really non-trivial thing, I've
put a lot of effort into that but not believed that it's possible to
make it fully safe, clean and clear.

Thanks to the efforts of Manfred Spraul working an elegant solution was
designed. Thanks a lot, Manfred!

Eric also suggested the way to address the issue in ("[RFC][PATCH] shm:
In shm_exit destroy all created and never attached segments") Eric's
idea was to maintain a list of shm_clists one per IPC namespace, use
lock-less lists. But there is some extra memory consumption-related
concerns.

An alternative solution which was suggested by me was implemented in
("shm: reset shm_clist on setns but omit forced shm destroy"). The idea
is pretty simple, we add exit_shm() syscall to setns() but DO NOT
destroy shm segments even if sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, we just
clean up the task->sysvshm.shm_clist list.

This chages semantics of setns() syscall a little bit but in comparision
to the "naive" solution when we just add exit_shm() without any special
exclusions this looks like a safer option.

Let's produce a warning if we trying to remove non-existing IPC object
from IPC namespace kht/idr structures.

This allows us to catch possible bugs when the ipc_rmid() function was
called with inconsistent struct ipc_ids*, struct kern_ipc_perm*

diff 99db46ea Tue May 14 16:46:36 MDT 2019 Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.

For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx). The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
2) At least, the cycling is done over
"normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
"ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
tree.
Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
x=semget();
for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
y=semget();
Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
(2<<12).

diff 82061c57 Tue Aug 21 23:01:41 MDT 2018 Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> ipc: drop ipc_lock()

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
an id number.

There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.

The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
but this is not obvious from the function name.

Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply
move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

diff 15df03c8 Fri Nov 17 16:31:18 MST 2017 Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again

For a custom microbenchmark on a 3.30GHz Xeon SandyBridge, which calls
IPC_STAT over and over, it was calculated that, on avg the cost of
ipc_get_maxid() for increasing amounts of keys was:

10 keys: ~900 cycles
100 keys: ~15000 cycles
1000 keys: ~150000 cycles
10000 keys: ~2100000 cycles

This is unsurprising as maxid is currently O(n).

By having the max_id available in O(1) we save all those cycles for each
semctl(_STAT) command, the idr_find can be expensive -- which some real
(customer) workloads actually poll on.

Note that this used to be the case, until commit 7ca7e564e04 ("ipc:
store ipcs into IDRs"). The cost is the extra idr_find when doing
RMIDs, but we simply go backwards, and should not take too many
iterations to find the new value.

This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are:
. This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a
root idr structure.
. The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
. The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
. there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
argument: it is now declared as a void
. since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
have it as an argument to the routine

H A Dutil.hdiff 99db46ea Tue May 14 16:46:36 MDT 2019 Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.

For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx). The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
2) At least, the cycling is done over
"normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
"ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
tree.
Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
x=semget();
for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
y=semget();
Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
(2<<12).

diff 82061c57 Tue Aug 21 23:01:41 MDT 2018 Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> ipc: drop ipc_lock()

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
an id number.

There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.

The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
but this is not obvious from the function name.

Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply
move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

diff 15df03c8 Fri Nov 17 16:31:18 MST 2017 Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again

For a custom microbenchmark on a 3.30GHz Xeon SandyBridge, which calls
IPC_STAT over and over, it was calculated that, on avg the cost of
ipc_get_maxid() for increasing amounts of keys was:

10 keys: ~900 cycles
100 keys: ~15000 cycles
1000 keys: ~150000 cycles
10000 keys: ~2100000 cycles

This is unsurprising as maxid is currently O(n).

By having the max_id available in O(1) we save all those cycles for each
semctl(_STAT) command, the idr_find can be expensive -- which some real
(customer) workloads actually poll on.

Note that this used to be the case, until commit 7ca7e564e04 ("ipc:
store ipcs into IDRs"). The cost is the extra idr_find when doing
RMIDs, but we simply go backwards, and should not take too many
iterations to find the new value.

This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.

The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
hold time of the semaphore lock.

The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.

On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

This patch:

There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq,
hence remove misleading comment.

Also simplify the return value for the function.

diff 7eafd7c7 Mon Apr 06 20:01:10 MDT 2009 Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues

Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.

Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.

When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.

Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".

If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.

To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when

a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
it to 0 and freeing the ipcns

b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
exiting.

So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are:
. This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a

. The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
. The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
. there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
argument: it is now declared as a void
. since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
have it as an argument to the routine

The code currently in "watchdog_hld.c" is for detecting hardlockups using
perf, as evidenced by the line in the Makefile that only compiles this
file if CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is defined. Rename the file to
prepare for the buddy hardlockup detector, which doesn't use perf.

It could be argued that the new name makes it less obvious that this is a
hardlockup detector. While true, it's not hard to remember that the
"perf" detector is always a hardlockup detector and it's nice not to have
names that are too convoluted.

System.map shows that vmlinux contains several instances of
__static_call_return0():

c0004fc0 t __static_call_return0
c0011518 t __static_call_return0
c00d8160 t __static_call_return0

arch_static_call_transform() uses the middle one to check whether we are
setting a call to __static_call_return0 or not:

c0011520 <arch_static_call_transform>:
c0011520: 3d 20 c0 01 lis r9,-16383 <== r9 = 0xc001 << 16

c0011528: 7c 05 48 00 cmpw r5,r9 <== r9 has value 0xc0011518 here

So if static_call_update() is called with one of the other instances of
__static_call_return0(), arch_static_call_transform() won't recognise it.

In order to work properly, global single instance of __static_call_return0() is required.

diff 5b25b13a Fri Sep 11 14:07:39 MDT 2015 Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)

Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.

The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:

* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
- DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
- Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
- Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
- User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
- Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
- Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
- Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)

Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().

* Direct users of sys_membarrier
- core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)

Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.

To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:

Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())

In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".

Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:

Thread A Thread B
previous mem accesses previous mem accesses
smp_mb() smp_mb()
following mem accesses following mem accesses

After the change, these pairs become:

Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses

As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).

1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:

Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
prev mem accesses
barrier()
follow mem accesses

In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.

2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses

Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses

In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().

* Benchmarks

On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)

1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.

* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library

Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.

Results in liburcu:

Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:

memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes
sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes

The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.

Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.

An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.

This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2)

NAME
membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads

SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/membarrier.h>

int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
The cmd argument is one of the following:

MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
supported commands.

MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.
Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
accesses to user-space addresses match program order between
entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads
are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
cesses running on the system. This command returns 0.

The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.

All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted
thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier,
and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():

The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):

barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
barrier() X X O
smp_mb() X O O
sys_membarrier() O O O

RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
same value until reboot.

ERRORS
ENOSYS System call is not implemented.

EINVAL Invalid arguments.

This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should
be able to share this code eventually.

At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex. That code only
creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory. That 'audit_parent' in
turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of
the specific object we care about. This just creates one fsnotify watch
per object we care about. So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code
will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc. The audit_watch code will
instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100
individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark.

We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify
mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code. After
that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to
support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary.

Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of
the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed
in. This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(),
kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches().

This is a heavily modified and merged version of two patches originally
submitted by Eric Paris.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.

The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

diff 97e1c18e Thu Jul 17 22:16:16 MDT 2008 Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> tracing: Kernel Tracepoints

Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel
Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing
statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static
inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string
is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for
usage examples.

Taken from the documentation patch :

"A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe)
that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is
connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is
"off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking
a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the
function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data
structure in a separate section). When a tracepoint is "on", the
function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in
the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its
execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
site).

You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which
prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header
file."

Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the
scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state
(this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched()
with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses
"preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()".

We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been
scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we
proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification
of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here
is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_
tracepoints.

Changelog :
- Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the
tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to
connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with
the same name in a different header.
- Add tracepoint_entry_free_old.
- Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator.

Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> :
Tested on x86-64.

Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it
adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each
instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function
call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch
at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will
eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which
removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller
(changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per
site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it
also saves the d-cache hit).

About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
scheduler code) was added.

Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers :

I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git
tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server.

While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there
is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any
issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from
the viewpoint of performance impact.

I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without
CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS.

I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL:
http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c

I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and
difference between the kernels.

The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800
The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8

Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression
wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases,
differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel
doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences
doesn't increase either.

Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel
in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference
of memory access pattern.

For quite a while we have been thinking about using pidfds to attach to
namespaces. This patchset has existed for about a year already but we've
wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted.
Now that more and more programs in userspace have started using pidfds
for process management it's time to send this one out.

This patch makes it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces
of another process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the
setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the
semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means
setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However,
when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the
second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the
specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not
valid together with a pidfd.

Here are just two obvious examples:
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);
Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases
where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform
an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces.

If the need arises, as Eric suggested, we can extend this patchset to
assume even more context than just attaching all namespaces. His suggestion
specifically was about assuming the process' root directory when
setns(pidfd, 0) or setns(pidfd, SETNS_PIDFD) is specified. For now, just
keep it flexible in terms of supporting subsets of namespaces but let's
wait until we have users asking for even more context to be assumed. At
that point we can add an extension.

The obvious example where this is useful is a standard container
manager interacting with a running container: pushing and pulling files
or directories, injecting mounts, attaching/execing any kind of process,
managing network devices all these operations require attaching to all
or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays
most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently
looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns>
nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time
namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls.
(We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by
stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean
we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets
everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk
state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular
namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching
other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but
all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter
if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare
behaves.)
With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces
are supposed to be attached to.

A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the
parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die
when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that
for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently
racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not
significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn
and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a
container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially
since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as
syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the
container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and
we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the
target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the
target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach
to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process'
namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api.
The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the
only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only
token we need to create and send around.

Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double
digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown
this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e.
either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If
we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three
namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not
very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for
non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to
attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace
or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because
we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares
filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns()
to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user
namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because
it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup
the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological
scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where
we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one.
I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something
only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles
in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful
userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem
to lend themselves nicely for this.

The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual
counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().

or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays
most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently
looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns>
nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time
namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls.
(We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by
stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean
we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets
everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk
state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular
namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching
other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but
all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter
if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare
behaves.)
With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces
are supposed to be attached to.

A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the
parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die
when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that
for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently
racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not
significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn
and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a
container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially
since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as
syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the
container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and
we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the
target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the
target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach
to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process'
namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api.
The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the
only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only
token we need to create and send around.

Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double
digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown
this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e.
either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If
we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three
namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not
very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for
non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to
attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace
or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because
we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares
filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns()
to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user
namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because
it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup
the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological
scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where
we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one.
I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something
only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles
in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful
userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem
to lend themselves nicely for this.

The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual
counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().

diff 5a0e3ad6 Wed Mar 24 02:04:11 MDT 2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

diff 7a238fcb Mon Jan 29 14:19:40 MST 2007 Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> [PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exit

Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First
piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then
it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else
it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets
tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and
frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in.

A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes
the NFS oops.

that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being
overwritten from another namespace.

In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx >

init UTS namespace only.
