mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API
There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.
The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.
To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).
Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.
ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.
I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.
If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.
So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)
The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
<sys/uio.h> as:
struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};
The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).
The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.
MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUT
Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).
The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.
FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.
After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.
In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.
So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.
Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.
So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.
- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?
process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.
The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.
To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.
Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.

net: remove compat_sys_{get,set}sockopt
Now that the ->compat_{get,set}sockopt proto_ops methods are gone
there is no good reason left to keep the compat syscalls separate.
This fixes the odd use of unsigned int for the compat_setsockopt
optlen and the missing sock_use_custom_sol_socket.
It would also easily allow running the eBPF hooks for the compat
syscalls, but such a large change in behavior does not belong into
a consolidation patch like this one.

vfs: add faccessat2 syscall
POSIX defines faccessat() as having a fourth "flags" argument, while the linux syscall doesn't have it. Glibc tries to emulate AT_EACCESS and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, but AT_EACCESS emulation is broken. Add a new faccessat(2) syscall with the added flags argument and implement both flags. The value of AT_EACCESS is defined in glibc headers to be the same as AT_REMOVEDIR. Use this value for the kernel interface as well, together with the explanatory comment. Also add AT_EMPTY_PATH support, which is not documented by POSIX, but can be useful and is trivial to implement. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> |

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
"Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd()
syscall.
This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process
based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access()
permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and
Andy) on the target.
One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user
notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification
feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a
file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually
handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can
then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the
supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually
emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses.
There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one
future user:
- Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users
should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects
to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be
redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user
notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead
of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g.
127.0.0.1:8080.
- LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate
mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes.
With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections
will be possible.
- The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner.
Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a
broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals
during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence,
in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication
based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval.
The thread for this can be found at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html
With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections
for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions
on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general.
Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people
pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as
well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included.
I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below.
There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to
correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various
sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though
they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1
since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing
build warnings.
Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is
needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers
that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath,
iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device.
The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid
allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and
PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the
relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl()
thread-management."

open: introduce openat2(2) syscall
/* Background. */
For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown flags
are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road to
being added to openat(2).
Userspace also has a hard time figuring out whether a particular flag is
supported on a particular kernel. While it is now possible with
contemporary kernels (thanks to [3]), older kernels will expose unknown
flag bits through fcntl(F_GETFL). Giving a clear -EINVAL during
openat(2) time matches modern syscall designs and is far more
fool-proof.
In addition, the newly-added path resolution restriction LOOKUP flags
(which we would like to expose to user-space) don't feel related to the
pre-existing O_* flag set -- they affect all components of path lookup.
We'd therefore like to add a new flag argument.
Adding a new syscall allows us to finally fix the flag-ignoring problem,
and we can make it extensible enough so that we will hopefully never
need an openat3(2).
/* Syscall Prototype. */
/*
* open_how is an extensible structure (similar in interface to
* clone3(2) or sched_setattr(2)). The size parameter must be set to
* sizeof(struct open_how), to allow for future extensions. All future
* extensions will be appended to open_how, with their zero value
* acting as a no-op default.
*/
struct open_how { /* ... */ };
int openat2(int dfd, const char *pathname,
struct open_how *how, size_t size);
/* Description. */
The initial version of 'struct open_how' contains the following fields:
flags
Used to specify openat(2)-style flags. However, any unknown flag
bits or otherwise incorrect flag combinations (like O_PATH|O_RDWR)
will result in -EINVAL. In addition, this field is 64-bits wide to
allow for more O_ flags than currently permitted with openat(2).
mode
The file mode for O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE.
Must be set to zero if flags does not contain O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE.
resolve
Restrict path resolution (in contrast to O_* flags they affect all
path components). The current set of flags are as follows (at the
moment, all of the RESOLVE_ flags are implemented as just passing
the corresponding LOOKUP_ flag).
RESOLVE_NO_XDEV => LOOKUP_NO_XDEV
RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS => LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS
RESOLVE_NO_MAGICLINKS => LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS
RESOLVE_BENEATH => LOOKUP_BENEATH
RESOLVE_IN_ROOT => LOOKUP_IN_ROOT
open_how does not contain an embedded size field, because it is of
little benefit (userspace can figure out the kernel open_how size at
runtime fairly easily without it). It also only contains u64s (even
though ->mode arguably should be a u16) to avoid having padding fields
which are never used in the future.
Note that as a result of the new how->flags handling, O_PATH|O_TMPFILE
is no longer permitted for openat(2). As far as I can tell, this has
always been a bug and appears to not be used by userspace (and I've not
seen any problems on my machines by disallowing it). If it turns out
this breaks something, we can special-case it and only permit it for
openat(2) but not openat2(2).
After input from Florian Weimer, the new open_how and flag definitions
are inside a separate header from uapi/linux/fcntl.h, to avoid problems
that glibc has with importing that header.
/* Testing. */
In a follow-up patch there are over 200 selftests which ensure that this
syscall has the correct semantics and will correctly handle several
attack scenarios.
In addition, I've written a userspace library[4] which provides
convenient wrappers around openat2(RESOLVE_IN_ROOT) (this is necessary
because no other syscalls support RESOLVE_IN_ROOT, and thus lots of care
must be taken when using RESOLVE_IN_ROOT'd file descriptors with other
syscalls). During the development of this patch, I've run numerous
verification tests using libpathrs (showing that the API is reasonably
usable by userspace).
/* Future Work. */
Additional RESOLVE_ flags have been suggested during the review period.
These can be easily implemented separately (such as blocking auto-mount
during resolution).
Furthermore, there are some other proposed changes to the openat(2)
interface (the most obvious example is magic-link hardening[5]) which
would be a good opportunity to add a way for userspace to restrict how
O_PATH file descriptors can be re-opened.
Another possible avenue of future work would be some kind of
CHECK_FIELDS[6] flag which causes the kernel to indicate to userspace
which openat2(2) flags and fields are supported by the current kernel
(to avoid userspace having to go through several guesses to figure it
out).

arch: mark syscall number 435 reserved for clone3

To not break this nice new feature let's mark 435 for clone3 as reserved on all architectures that do not yet implement it.

y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures
This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64' for clarification. This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point. In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer, waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet, but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They will be dealt with later.

y2038: rename old time and utime syscalls
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64, and utimensat_time64. However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system calls that now require two versions. Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive. This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

y2038: use time32 syscall names on 32-bit
This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME and use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments. The temporary redirects for __kernel_timespec, __kernel_itimerspec and __kernel_timex can get removed with this. It would be easy to split this commit by architecture, but with the new generated system call tables, it's easy enough to do it all at once, which makes it a little easier to check that the changes are the same in each table.

y2038: syscalls: rename y2038 compat syscalls
A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit architectures as well. The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx() to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them on 32-bit architectures. Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the future. In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

arch: add split IPC system calls where needed
The IPC system call handling is highly inconsistent across architectures, some use sys_ipc, some use separate calls, and some use both. We also have some architectures that require passing IPC_64 in the flags, and others that set it implicitly. For the addition of a y2038 safe semtimedop() system call, I chose to only support the separate entry points, but that requires first supporting the regular ones with their own syscall numbers. The IPC_64 is now implied by the new semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls even on the architectures that require passing it with the ipc() multiplexer. I'm not adding the new semtimedop() or semop() on 32-bit architectures, those will get implemented using the new semtimedop_time64() version that gets added along with the other time64 calls. Three 64-bit architectures (powerpc, s390 and sparc) get semtimedop().

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

mips: add system call table generation support
The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures. The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. - Compat entry name, if required. syscallhdr.sh, syscallnr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will gene- rate uapi header unistd_n64/n32/o32.h, unistd_nr_n64/n32/- o32.h and syscall_table_32_o32/64_n64/64-n32/64-o32.h files respectively. All *.sh files will parse the content sys- call.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd- _n64/n32/o32.h and unistd_nr_n64/n32/o32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table_32_o32/64_n64/64-n32- /64-o32.h is included by kernel/syscall_table32_o32/64- _n64/64-n32/64-o32.S - the real system call table. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution.
