There was a reported suspicion about a race between exit_pi_state_list()
and put_pi_state(). The same report mentioned the comment with
put_pi_state() said it should be called with hb->lock held, and it no
longer is in all places.
As it turns out, the pi_state->owner serialization is indeed broken. As per
the new rules:
734009e96d ("futex: Change locking rules")
pi_state->owner should be serialized by pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock.
For the sites setting pi_state->owner we already hold wait_lock (where
required) but exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state() were not and
raced on clearing it.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.
Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.
This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.
And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.
Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

Commit 65d8fc777f ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in
get_futex_key()") removed an unnecessary lock_page() with the
side-effect that page->mapping needed to be treated very carefully.
Two defensive warnings were added in case any assumption was missed and
the first warning assumed a correct application would not alter a
mapping backing a futex key. Since merging, it has not triggered for
any unexpected case but Mark Rutland reported the following bug
triggering due to the first warning.
kernel BUG at kernel/futex.c:679!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

The fact that it's a bug instead of a warning was due to an unrelated
arm64 problem, but the warning itself triggered because the underlying
mapping changed.
This is an application issue but from a kernel perspective it's a
recoverable situation and the warning is unnecessary so this patch
removes the warning. The warning may potentially be triggered with the
following test program from Mark although it may be necessary to adjust
NR_FUTEX_THREADS to be a value smaller than the number of CPUs in the
system.

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

We should deboost before waking the high-priority task, such that we
don't run two tasks with the same "state" (priority, deadline,
sched_class, etc).
In order to make sure the boosting task doesn't start running between
unlock and deboost (due to 'spurious' wakeup), we move the deboost
under the wait_lock, that way its serialized against the wait loop in
__rt_mutex_slowlock().
Doing the deboost early can however lead to priority-inversion if
current would get preempted after the deboost but before waking our
high-prio task, hence we disable preemption before doing deboost, and
enabling it after the wake up is over.
This gets us the right semantic order, but most importantly however;
this change ensures pointer stability for the next patch, where we
have rt_mutex_setprio() cache a pointer to the top-most waiter task.
If we, as before this change, do the wakeup first and then deboost,
this pointer might point into thin air.

When PREEMPT_RT_FULL does the spinlock -> rt_mutex substitution the PI
chain code will (falsely) report a deadlock and BUG.
The problem is that it hold hb->lock (now an rt_mutex) while doing
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex on the futex's pi_state::rtmutex. This, when
interleaved just right with futex_unlock_pi() leads it to believe to see an
AB-BA deadlock.
Task1 (holds rt_mutex, Task2 (does FUTEX_LOCK_PI)
does FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI)
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex (as per start_proxy)
lock hb->lock
Which is a trivial AB-BA.
It is not an actual deadlock, because it won't be holding hb->lock by the
time it actually blocks on the rt_mutex, but the chainwalk code doesn't
know that and it would be a nightmare to handle this gracefully.
To avoid this problem, do the same as in futex_unlock_pi() and drop
hb->lock after acquiring wait_lock. This still fully serializes against
futex_unlock_pi(), since adding to the wait_list does the very same lock
dance, and removing it holds both locks.
Aside of solving the RT problem this makes the lock and unlock mechanism
symetric and reduces the hb->lock held time.

The problem with returning -EAGAIN when the waiter state mismatches is that
it becomes very hard to proof a bounded execution time on the
operation. And seeing that this is a RT operation, this is somewhat
important.
While in practise; given the previous patch; it will be very unlikely to
ever really take more than one or two rounds, proving so becomes rather
hard.
However, now that modifying wait_list is done while holding both hb->lock
and wait_lock, the scenario can be avoided entirely by acquiring wait_lock
while still holding hb-lock. Doing a hand-over, without leaving a hole.

By changing futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock() all wait_list
modifications are done under both hb->lock and wait_lock.
This closes the obvious interleave pattern between futex_lock_pi() and
futex_unlock_pi(), but not entirely so. See below:
Before:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
schedule()
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
<idem>
-EAGAIN
lock hb->lock
After:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock hb->lock
schedule()
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
unlock hb->lock
It does however solve the earlier starvation/live-lock scenario which got
introduced with the -EAGAIN since unlike the before scenario; where the
-EAGAIN happens while futex_unlock_pi() doesn't hold any locks; in the
after scenario it happens while futex_unlock_pi() actually holds a lock,
and then it is serialized on that lock.

parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb->lock
held.
Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the
blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed.
When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the
acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner.
This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications
are done with both hb->lock and wait_lock held.

There's a number of 'interesting' problems, all caused by holding
hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock() equivalient.
Notably:
- a PI inversion on hb->lock; and,
- a SCHED_DEADLINE crash because of pointer instability.
The previous changes:
- changed the locking rules to cover {uval,pi_state} with wait_lock.
- allow to do rt_mutex_futex_unlock() without dropping wait_lock; which in
turn allows to rely on wait_lock atomicity completely.
- simplified the waiter conundrum.
It's now sufficient to hold rtmutex::wait_lock and a reference on the
pi_state to protect the state consistency, so hb->lock can be dropped
before calling rt_mutex_futex_unlock().

There is a weird state in the futex_unlock_pi() path when it interleaves
with a concurrent futex_lock_pi() at the point where it drops hb->lock.
In this case, it can happen that the rt_mutex wait_list and the futex_q
disagree on pending waiters, in particular rt_mutex will find no pending
waiters where futex_q thinks there are. In this case the rt_mutex unlock
code cannot assign an owner.
The futex side fixup code has to cleanup the inconsistencies with quite a
bunch of interesting corner cases.
Simplify all this by changing wake_futex_pi() to return -EAGAIN when this
situation occurs. This then gives the futex_lock_pi() code the opportunity
to continue and the retried futex_unlock_pi() will now observe a coherent
state.
The only problem is that this breaks RT timeliness guarantees. That
is, consider the following scenario:
T1 and T2 are both pinned to CPU0. prio(T2) > prio(T1)
CPU0
T1
lock_pi()
queue_me() <- Waiter is visible
preemption
T2
unlock_pi()
loops with -EAGAIN forever
Which is undesirable for PI primitives. Future patches will rectify
this.

Currently futex-pi relies on hb->lock to serialize everything. But hb->lock
creates another set of problems, especially priority inversions on RT where
hb->lock becomes a rt_mutex itself.
The rt_mutex::wait_lock is the most obvious protection for keeping the
futex user space value and the kernel internal pi_state in sync.
Rework and document the locking so rt_mutex::wait_lock is held accross all
operations which modify the user space value and the pi state.
This allows to invoke rt_mutex_unlock() (including deboost) without holding
hb->lock as a next step.
Nothing yet relies on the new locking rules.

Part of what makes futex_unlock_pi() intricate is that
rt_mutex_futex_unlock() -> rt_mutex_slowunlock() can drop
rt_mutex::wait_lock.
This means it cannot rely on the atomicy of wait_lock, which would be
preferred in order to not rely on hb->lock so much.
The reason rt_mutex_slowunlock() needs to drop wait_lock is because it can
race with the rt_mutex fastpath, however futexes have their own fast path.
Since futexes already have a bunch of separate rt_mutex accessors, complete
that set and implement a rt_mutex variant without fastpath for them.

git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'
This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might

The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.
The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.
futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.
If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.
Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

To quote Rick why there is no need for shared mapping on !MMU systems:
|With MMU, shared futex keys need to identify the physical backing for
|a memory address because it may be mapped at different addresses in
|different processes (or even multiple times in the same process).
|Without MMU this cannot happen. You only have physical addresses. So
|the "private futex" behavior of using the virtual address as the key
|is always correct (for both shared and private cases) on nommu
|systems.
This patch disables the FLAGS_SHARED in a way that allows the compiler to
remove that code.

Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken
by commit 65d8fc777f ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page()
in get_futex_key()").
This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an
associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that
the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs
page and not the tail page.
Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and
pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound
page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock
operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key.
After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page
lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a
shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without
the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly.
However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so
this patch records the tail page.
On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is;
futex_wake04 0 TINFO : Hugepagesize 2097152
futex_wake04 1 TFAIL : futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.
With the patch applied

never relevant. Most users aren't actually using a constant size

If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0
transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the
waiters bit set. This opens the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
uval = get_user(futex)
lock(hb)
lock(hb)
futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS
....
unlock(hb)
cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval)
So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because
the futex value is valid.
To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag
change and retry.

Commit e91467ecd1 ("bug in futex unqueue_me") introduced a barrier() in
unqueue_me() to prevent the compiler from rereading the lock pointer which
might change after a check for NULL.
Replace the barrier() with a READ_ONCE() for the following reasons:
1) READ_ONCE() is a weaker form of barrier() that affects only the specific
load operation, while barrier() is a general compiler level memory barrier.
READ_ONCE() was not available at the time when the barrier was added.
2) Aside of that READ_ONCE() is descriptive and self explainatory while a
barrier without comment is not clear to the casual reader.
No functional change.

When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce
the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex
object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode
based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still
valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that
requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache.
Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being
contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations.
Task A
get_futex_key()
lock_page()
---> preempted
Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until
task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time.
With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key().
Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared
futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such
change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core
Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%,
but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec).
This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

local_irq_disable()
spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock)

spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1
rcu_read_lock()
x = lookup();
if (x)
spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
return x;
We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across
the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and
there is no reason not to support it.
Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted
capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its
credentials.
To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g.
in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS
flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set.
The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its
privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to
perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed
ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass.
While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to
perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access
check is reused for things in procfs.
In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely
on ptrace access checks:
/proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
this scenario:
lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar
drwx------ root root /root
drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
-rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret
Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its
effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file,
this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's
processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access
(through /proc/$pid/cwd).

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem
regarding gmap faults was discovered.
The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in
handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the
userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix.
This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look
closer at this.
This patch (of 2):
With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault
to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the
faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem.
This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up
the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same
semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and
so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the

While reviewing Michael Kerrisk's recent futex manpage update, I noticed
that we allow the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET but
not for FUTEX_WAIT.
FUTEX_WAIT is treated as a simple version for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET
internally (with a bitmask of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY). As such, I cannot
come up with a reason for this exclusion for FUTEX_WAIT.
This change does modify the behavior of the futex syscall, changing a
call with FUTEX_WAIT | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME from returning -ENOSYS, to be
equivalent to FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with a bitset of
FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY.

out_unlock: does not only drop the locks, it also drops the refcount
on the pi_state. Really intuitive.
Move the label after the put_pi_state() call and use 'break' in the
error handling path of the requeue loop.
