Thomas Gleixner	4610ba7ad8	exit/exec: Seperate mm_release() ... mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from do_exit()->exit_mm() and from exec()->exec_mm(). In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the exec_mm() case these states are not touched. As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this needs to be split into two functions. Preparatory only, no functional change.

Thomas Gleixner	ba31c1a485	futex: Move futex exit handling into futex code ... The futex exit handling is #ifdeffed into mm_release() which is not pretty to begin with. But upcoming changes to address futex exit races need to add more functionality to this exit code. Split it out into a function, move it into futex code and make the various futex exit functions static. Preparatory only and no functional change. Folded build fix from Borislav.

Michal Hocko	b0f53dbc4b	kernel/sysctl.c: do not override max_threads provided by userspace ... Partially revert 16db3d3f11 ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel. set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will not deplete all the memory. This is a good thing in general but there are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not possible after the mentioned change. It is also very dubious to override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct relation to correctness of the kernel operation. Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex restriction. While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when below this limit. This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel stacks. Starting since 6538b8ea88 ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned value. In the particular case 3.12 kernel.threads-max = 515561 4.4 kernel.threads-max = 200000 Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine. I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further. If anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in general. But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.

It is a generic interface designed to copy a struct from userspace. The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility, i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel. The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics. This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics: sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always rejects differently-sized struct arguments.

Sai Praneeth Prakhya	8495f7e673	fork: improve error message for corrupted page tables ... When a user process exits, the kernel cleans up the mm_struct of the user process and during cleanup, check_mm() checks the page tables of the user process for corruption (E.g: unexpected page flags set/cleared). For corrupted page tables, the error message printed by check_mm() isn't very clear as it prints the loop index instead of page table type (E.g: Resident file mapping pages vs Resident shared memory pages). The loop index in check_mm() is used to index rss_stat[] which represents individual memory type stats. Hence, instead of printing index, print memory type, thereby improving error message.

Eric W. Biederman	0ff7b2cfba	tasks, sched/core: Ensure tasks are available for a grace period after leaving the runqueue ... In the ordinary case today the RCU grace period for a task_struct is triggered when another process wait's for it's zombine and causes the kernel to call release_task(). As the waiting task has to receive a signal and then act upon it before this happens, typically this will occur after the original task as been removed from the runqueue. Unfortunaty in some cases such as self reaping tasks it can be shown that release_task() will be called starting the grace period for task_struct long before the task leaves the runqueue. Therefore use put_task_struct_rcu_user() in finish_task_switch() to guarantee that the there is a RCU lifetime after the task leaves the runqueue. Besides the change in the start of the RCU grace period for the task_struct this change may cause perf_event_delayed_put and trace_sched_process_free. The function perf_event_delayed_put boils down to just a WARN_ON for cases that I assume never show happen. So I don't see any problem with delaying it. The function trace_sched_process_free is a trace point and thus visible to user space. Occassionally userspace has the strangest dependencies so this has a miniscule chance of causing a regression. This change only changes the timing of when the tracepoint is called. The change in timing arguably gives userspace a more accurate picture of what is going on. So I don't expect there to be a regression. In the case where a task self reaps we are pretty much guaranteed that the RCU grace period is delayed. So we should get quite a bit of coverage in of this worst case for the change in a normal threaded workload. So I expect any issues to turn up quickly or not at all. I have lightly tested this change and everything appears to work fine. Inspired-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Inspired-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner (even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0 together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a discussion on the glibc development mailing list. There are also a range of tests for the features above.

Eugene Syromiatnikov	a0eb9abd8a	fork: block invalid exit signals with clone3() ... Previously, higher 32 bits of exit_signal fields were lost when copied to the kernel args structure (that uses int as a type for the respective field). Moreover, as Oleg has noted, exit_signal is used unchecked, so it has to be checked for sanity before use; for the legacy syscalls, applying CSIGNAL mask guarantees that it is at least non-negative; however, there's no such thing is done in clone3() code path, and that can break at least thread_group_leader. This commit adds a check to copy_clone_args_from_user() to verify that the exit signal is limited by CSIGNAL as with legacy clone() and that the signal is valid. With this we don't get the legacy clone behavior were an invalid signal could be handed down and would only be detected and ignored in do_notify_parent(). Users of clone3() will now get a proper error when they pass an invalid exit signal. Note, that this is not user-visible behavior since no kernel with clone3() has been released yet. The following program will cause a splat on a non-fixed clone3() version and will fail correctly on a fixed version: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <linux/sched.h> #include <linux/types.h> #include <sched.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { pid_t pid = -1; struct clone_args args = {0}; args.exit_signal = -1; pid = syscall(__NR_clone3, &args, sizeof(struct clone_args)); if (pid < 0) exit(EXIT_FAILURE); if (pid == 0) exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); wait(NULL); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } Fixes: 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add clone3") Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Dmitry V.

This is a significant simplification, it eliminates all the remaining 'hmm' stuff in mm_struct, eliminates krefing along the critical notifier paths, and takes away all the ugly locking and abuse of page_table_lock. mmu_notifier_get() provides the single struct hmm per struct mm which eliminates mm->hmm. It also directly guarantees that no mmu_notifier op callback is callable while concurrent free is possible, this eliminates all the krefs inside the mmu_notifier callbacks.

Christian Brauner	3695eae5fe	pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid() ... This adds the P_PIDFD type to waitid(). One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible to wait on pidfds. With P_PIDFD added to waitid() the parts of userspace that want to use the pidfd api to exclusively manage processes can do so now. One of the things this will unblock in the future is the ability to make it possible to retrieve the exit status via waitid(P_PIDFD) for non-parent processes if handed a _suitable_ pidfd that has this feature set. This is similar to what you can do on FreeBSD with kqueue(). It might even end up being possible to wait on a process as a non-parent if an appropriate property is enabled on the pidfd. With P_PIDFD no scoping of the process identified by the pidfd is possible, i.e. it explicitly blocks things such as wait4(-1), wait4(0), waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It only allows for semantics equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users that need scoping should rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.

Jann Horn	16d51a590a	sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers ... When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of freeing them. During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace. I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently running task of a different CPU. Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on execve.

(Fwiw, cleaning do_fork() up is on my todo.) The reason this happened was that during conversion of _do_fork() to use struct kernel_clone_args we missed that do_fork() is called directly by various architectures. This is fixed by making sure that the pidfd argument in struct kernel_clone_args is correctly initialized with the parent_tidptr argument passed down from do_fork(). Additionally, do_fork() missed a check to make CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID mutually exclusive just a clone() does. This is now fixed too. - When clone3() was introduced we skipped architectures that require special handling for fork-like syscalls. Their syscall tables did not contain any mention of clone3(). To make sure that Arnd's work to make syscall numbers on all architectures identical (minus alpha) was not for naught we are placing a comment in all syscall tables that do not yet implement clone3(). The comment makes it clear that 435 is reserved for clone3 and should not be used. - Also, this contains a patch to make the clone3() syscall definition in asm-generic/unist.h conditional on __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. This lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3 without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which is a good indicator that they did not check whether it needs special treatment or not. - Finally, this contains a patch to add me as maintainer for pidfd stuff so people can start blaming me (more)" * tag 'for-linus-20190715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: MAINTAINERS: add new entry for pidfd api unistd: protect clone3 via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 arch: mark syscall number 435 reserved for clone3 clone: fix CLONE_PIDFD support	2019-07-16 11:30:07 -07:00

It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone() and thus all legacy workloads. There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone. First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal" argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr argument. The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit: /* 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; }; and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing: /* 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; }; The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3 validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page. A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for legacy clone(). This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag. Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special massaging. Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply including asm-generic/unistd.h.

This allows process managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free way. The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e. thread-group) exit. - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created using CLONE_PIDFD. 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 patchsets are accompanied by selftests. It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see some adoption: - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS kernels [1] - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption. - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too" [1] https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.9+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.14+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.19+backport%22 [2] aab6e3eb73/src/lxc/start.c (L1753) * tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: tests: add pidfd_open() tests arch: wire-up pidfd_open() pid: add pidfd_open() pidfd: add polling selftests pidfd: add polling support	2019-07-10 22:17:21 -07:00

Linus Torvalds	e192832869	Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip ... Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are rather impressive: "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255 After the patchset, they became: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098" There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair locking. Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the improvements are: "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and after this patchset were: # of Threads Before Patch After Patch ------------ ------------ ----------- 2 2,618 4,193 4 1,202 3,726 8 802 3,622 16 729 3,359 32 319 2,826 64 102 2,744" The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline going forward. - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup as well. - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture - which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures. Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64 implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area. - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups all around the place. - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra. - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (82 commits) locking/lockdep: increase size of counters for lockdep statistics locking/atomics: Use sed(1) instead of non-standard head(1) option locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING x86/jump_label: Make tp_vec_nr static x86/percpu: Optimize raw_cpu_xchg() x86/percpu, sched/fair: Avoid local_clock() x86/percpu, x86/irq: Relax {set,get}_irq_regs() x86/percpu: Relax smp_processor_id() x86/percpu: Differentiate this_cpu_{}() and __this_cpu_{}() locking/rwsem: Guard against making count negative locking/rwsem: Adaptive disabling of reader optimistic spinning locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem locking/rwsem: Make rwsem->owner an atomic_long_t locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation locking/rwsem: Make rwsem_spin_on_owner() return owner state ...	2019-07-08 16:12:03 -07:00

Andrea Arcangeli	1bf4580e00	fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk->stack ... Commit 5eed6f1dff ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail") corrected two instances, but there was a third instance of this bug. Without setting tsk->stack, if memcg_charge_kernel_stack fails, it'll execute free_thread_stack() on a dangling pointer. Enterprise kernels are compiled with VMAP_STACK=y so this isn't critical, but custom VMAP_STACK=n builds should have some performance advantage, with the drawback of risking to fail fork because compaction didn't succeed. So as long as VMAP_STACK=n is a supported option it's worth fixing it upstream.

Joel Fernandes (Google)	b53b0b9d9a	pidfd: add polling support ... This patch adds polling support to pidfd. Android low memory killer (LMK) needs to know when a process dies once it is sent the kill signal. It does so by checking for the existence of /proc/pid which is both racy and slow. For example, if a PID is reused between when LMK sends a kill signal and checks for existence of the PID, since the wrong PID is now possibly checked for existence. Using the polling support, LMK will be able to get notified when a process exists in race-free and fast way, and allows the LMK to do other things (such as by polling on other fds) while awaiting the process being killed to die. For notification to polling processes, we follow the same existing mechanism in the kernel used when the parent of the task group is to be notified of a child's death (do_notify_parent). This is precisely when the tasks waiting on a poll of pidfd are also awakened in this patch. We have decided to include the waitqueue in struct pid for the following reasons: 1. The wait queue has to survive for the lifetime of the poll. Including it in task_struct would not be option in this case because the task can be reaped and destroyed before the poll returns. 2. By including the struct pid for the waitqueue means that during de_thread(), the new thread group leader automatically gets the new waitqueue/pid even though its task_struct is different. Appropriate test cases are added in the second patch to provide coverage of all the cases the patch is handling.

Dmitry V. Levin	9014143bab	fork: don't check parent_tidptr with CLONE_PIDFD ... Give userspace a cheap and reliable way to tell whether CLONE_PIDFD is supported by the kernel or not. The easiest way is to pass an invalid file descriptor value in parent_tidptr, perform the syscall and verify that parent_tidptr has been changed to a valid file descriptor value. CLONE_PIDFD uses parent_tidptr to return pidfds. CLONE_PARENT_SETTID will use parent_tidptr to return the tid of the parent. The two flags cannot be used together. Old kernels that only support CLONE_PARENT_SETTID will not verify the value pointed to by parent_tidptr. This behavior is unchanged even with the introduction of CLONE_PIDFD. However, if CLONE_PIDFD is specified the kernel will currently check the value pointed to by parent_tidptr before placing the pidfd in the memory pointed to. EINVAL will be returned if the value in parent_tidptr is not 0. If CLONE_PIDFD is supported and fd 0 is closed, then the returned pidfd can and likely will be 0 and parent_tidptr will be unchanged. This means userspace must either check CLONE_PIDFD support beforehand or check that fd 0 is not closed when invoking CLONE_PIDFD. The check for pidfd == 0 was introduced during the v5.2 merge window by commit b3e5838252 ("clone: add CLONE_PIDFD") to ensure that CLONE_PIDFD could be potentially extended by passing in flags through the return argument. However, that extension would look horrible, and with the upcoming introduction of the clone3 syscall in v5.3 there is no need to extend legacy clone syscall this way. (Even if it would need to be extended, CLONE_DETACHED can be reused with CLONE_PIDFD.) So remove the pidfd == 0 check. Userspace that needs to be portable to kernels without CLONE_PIDFD support can then be advised to initialize pidfd to -1 and check the pidfd value returned by CLONE_PIDFD.

Christian Brauner	d68dbb0c9a	arch: handle arches who do not yet define clone3 ... This cleanly handles arches who do not yet define clone3. clone3() was initially placed under __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE under the assumption that this would cleanly handle all architectures. It does not. Architectures such as nios2 or h8300 simply take the asm-generic syscall definitions and generate their syscall table from it. Since they don't define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE the build would fail complaining about sys_clone3 missing. The reason this doesn't happen for legacy clone is that nios2 and h8300 provide assembly stubs for sys_clone. This seems to be done for architectural reasons. The build failures for nios2 and h8300 were caught int -next luckily. The solution is to define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 that architectures can add. Additionally, we need a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table in the way I explained above.

Christian Brauner	7f192e3cd3	fork: add clone3 ... 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.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior	3bd3706251	sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask ... In commit: 4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper") the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched. As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use: struct task_struct { const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr; cpumask_t cpus_mask; }; with t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask; In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to: t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p)); in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple: - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer. - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Andrea Arcangeli	c3f3ce049f	userfaultfd: use RCU to free the task struct when fork fails ... The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm->owner. get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() failing fork() ---- --- task = mm->owner mm->owner = NULL; free(task) if (task) *task; /* use after free */ The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path. That is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() (left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing the task structure. An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to succeed. Such a change would require more changes because it would create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be safe. This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code to set mm->owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by mm->owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing. The userfaultfd methods can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland. This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build time.

Christian Brauner	c3b7112df8	fork: do not release lock that wasn't taken ... Avoid calling cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() without having called cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() first. During process creation we need to check whether the cgroup we are in allows us to fork. To perform this check the cgroup needs to guard itself against threadgroup changes and takes a lock. Prior to CLONE_PIDFD the cleanup target "bad_fork_free_pid" would also need to call cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() because said lock had already been taken. However, this is not the case anymore with the addition of CLONE_PIDFD. We are now allocating a pidfd before we check whether the cgroup we're in can fork and thus prior to taking the lock. So when copy_process() fails at the right step it would release a lock we haven't taken. This bug is not even very subtle to be honest. It's just not very clear from the naming of cgroup_threadgroup_change_{begin,end}() that a lock is taken.

Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information thus becomes rather trivial. As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd, signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small. The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional. A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d". To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>. Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window" * tag 'pidfd-v5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: samples: show race-free pidfd metadata access signal: support CLONE_PIDFD with pidfd_send_signal clone: add CLONE_PIDFD Make anon_inodes unconditional	2019-05-07 12:30:24 -07:00
