Update wake_futex_pi() and kill the call altogether. This is possible because:
(i) The case of fixup_owner() in which the pi_mutex was stolen from the
signaled enqueued top-waiter which fails to trylock and doesn't see a
current owner of the rtmutex but needs to acknowledge an non-enqueued
higher priority waiter, which is the other alternative. This used to be
handled by rt_mutex_next_owner(), which guaranteed fixup_pi_state_owner('newowner')
never to be nil. Nowadays the logic is handled by an EAGAIN loop, without
the need of rt_mutex_next_owner(). Specifically:
c1e2f0eaf0 (futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex)
9f5d1c336a (futex: Handle transient "ownerless" rtmutex state correctly)
(ii) rt_mutex_next_owner() and rt_mutex_top_waiter() are semantically
equivalent, as of:
c28d62cf52 (locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully in remove_waiter())
So instead of keeping the call around, just use the good ole rt_mutex_top_waiter().
No change in semantics.

futex(2) says that 'utime' is a pointer to 'const'. The implementation
doesn't use 'const'; however, it _never_ modifies the contents of utime.
- futex() either uses 'utime' as a pointer to struct or as a 'u32'.
- In case it's used as a 'u32', it makes a copy of it, and of course it is
not dereferenced.
- In case it's used as a 'struct __kernel_timespec __user *', the pointer
is not dereferenced inside the futex() definition, and it is only passed
to a function: get_timespec64(), which accepts a 'const struct
__kernel_timespec __user *'.

fixup_pi_state_owner() tries to ensure that the state of the rtmutex,
pi_state and the user space value related to the PI futex are consistent
before returning to user space. In case that the user space value update
faults and the fault cannot be resolved by faulting the page in via
fault_in_user_writeable() the function returns with -EFAULT and leaves
the rtmutex and pi_state owner state inconsistent.
A subsequent futex_unlock_pi() operates on the inconsistent pi_state and
releases the rtmutex despite not owning it which can corrupt the RB tree of
the rtmutex and cause a subsequent kernel stack use after free.
It was suggested to loop forever in fixup_pi_state_owner() if the fault
cannot be resolved, but that results in runaway tasks which is especially
undesired when the problem happens due to a programming error and not due
to malice.
As the user space value cannot be fixed up, the proper solution is to make
the rtmutex and the pi_state consistent so both have the same owner. This
leaves the user space value out of sync. Any subsequent operation on the
futex will fail because the 10th rule of PI futexes (pi_state owner and
user space value are consistent) has been violated.
As a consequence this removes the inept attempts of 'fixing' the situation
in case that the current task owns the rtmutex when returning with an
unresolvable fault by unlocking the rtmutex which left pi_state::owner and
rtmutex::owner out of sync in a different and only slightly less dangerous
way.

In case that futex_lock_pi() was aborted by a signal or a timeout and the
task returned without acquiring the rtmutex, but is the designated owner of
the futex due to a concurrent futex_unlock_pi() fixup_owner() is invoked to
establish consistent state. In that case it invokes fixup_pi_state_owner()
which in turn tries to acquire the rtmutex again. If that succeeds then it
does not propagate this success to fixup_owner() and futex_lock_pi()
returns -EINTR or -ETIMEOUT despite having the futex locked.
Return success from fixup_pi_state_owner() in all cases where the current
task owns the rtmutex and therefore the futex and propagate it correctly
through fixup_owner(). Fixup the other callsite which does not expect a
positive return value.

Gratian managed to trigger the BUG_ON(!newowner) in fixup_pi_state_owner().
This is one possible chain of events leading to this:
Task Prio Operation
T1 120 lock(F)
T2 120 lock(F) -> blocks (top waiter)
T3 50 (RT) lock(F) -> boosts T1 and blocks (new top waiter)
XX timeout/ -> wakes T2
signal
T1 50 unlock(F) -> wakes T3 (rtmutex->owner == NULL, waiter bit is set)
T2 120 cleanup -> try_to_take_mutex() fails because T3 is the top waiter
and the lower priority T2 cannot steal the lock.
-> fixup_pi_state_owner() sees newowner == NULL -> BUG_ON()
The comment states that this is invalid and rt_mutex_real_owner() must
return a non NULL owner when the trylock failed, but in case of a queued
and woken up waiter rt_mutex_real_owner() == NULL is a valid transient
state. The higher priority waiter has simply not yet managed to take over
the rtmutex.
The BUG_ON() is therefore wrong and this is just another retry condition in
fixup_pi_state_owner().
Drop the locks, so that T3 can make progress, and then try the fixup again.
Gratian provided a great analysis, traces and a reproducer. The analysis is
to the point, but it confused the hell out of that tglx dude who had to
page in all the futex horrors again. Condensed version is above.

The recent futex inode life time fix changed the ordering of the futex key
union struct members, but forgot to adjust the hash function accordingly,
As a result the hashing omits the leading 64bit and even hashes beyond the
futex key causing a bad hash distribution which led to a ~100% performance
regression.
Hand in the futex key pointer instead of a random struct member and make
the size calculation based of the struct offset.

Oleg provided the following test case:
int main(void)
{
struct sched_param sp = {};
sp.sched_priority = 2;
assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0);
int lock = vfork();
if (!lock) {
sp.sched_priority = 1;
assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0);
_exit(0);
}
syscall(__NR_futex, &lock, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 0,0,0);
return 0;
}
This creates an unkillable RT process spinning in futex_lock_pi() on a UP
machine or if the process is affine to a single CPU. The reason is:
parent child
set FIFO prio 2
vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1
implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...)
exit()
do_exit()
....
mm_release()
tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING;
exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case)
complete() --> wakes parent
sys_futex()
loop infinite because
tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING
The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well:
task holds futex
...
do_exit()
tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING;
--> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer)
switch_to(other_task)
return to user
sys_futex()
loop infinite as above
Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup
itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD.
To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so:
- A refcount is held on the task
- The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location
- The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks
on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then
the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state
is consistent and can be reevaluated.
This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning
an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency
guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions.
For stable backports the preparatory commits ac31c7ff86 .. ba31c1a485
are required as well, but for anything older than 5.3.y the backports are
going to be provided when this hits mainline as the other dependencies for

attach_to_pi_owner() returns -EAGAIN for various cases:
- Owner task is exiting
- Futex value has changed
The caller drops the held locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and retries the
operation. In case of the owner task exiting this can result in a live
lock.
As a preparatory step for seperating those cases, provide a distinct return
value (EBUSY) for the owner exiting case.
No functional change.

exec() attempts to handle potentially held futexes gracefully by running
the futex exit handling code like exit() does.
The current implementation has no protection against concurrent incoming
waiters. The reason is that the futex state cannot be set to
FUTEX_STATE_DEAD after the cleanup because the task struct is still active
and just about to execute the new binary.
While its arguably buggy when a task holds a futex over exec(), for
consistency sake the state handling can at least cover the actual futex
exit cleanup section. This provides state consistency protection accross
the cleanup. As the futex state of the task becomes FUTEX_STATE_OK after the
cleanup has been finished, this cannot prevent subsequent attempts to
attach to the task in case that the cleanup was not successfull in mopping
up all leftovers.

Instead of relying on PF_EXITING use an explicit state for the futex exit
and set it in the futex exit function. This moves the smp barrier and the
lock/unlock serialization into the futex code.
As with the DEAD state this is restricted to the exit path as exec
continues to use the same task struct.
This allows to simplify that logic in a next step.

Setting task::futex_state in do_exit() is rather arbitrarily placed for no
reason. Move it into the futex code.
Note, this is only done for the exit cleanup as the exec cleanup cannot set
the state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD because the task struct is still in active
use.

them from the corresponding exit/exec_mm_release() callsites.

The futex exit handling relies on PF_ flags. That's suboptimal as it
requires a smp_mb() and an ugly lock/unlock of the exiting tasks pi_lock in
the middle of do_exit() to enforce the observability of PF_EXITING in the
futex code.
Add a futex_state member to task_struct and convert the PF_EXITPIDONE logic
over to the new state. The PF_EXITING dependency will be cleaned up in a
later step.
This prepares for handling various futex exit issues later.

Robust futexes utilize the robust_list mechanism to allow the kernel to
release futexes which are held when a task exits. The exit can be voluntary
or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever.
The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are
either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust
list.
After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list
linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared.
After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the
robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared.
The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex
which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex
value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and
tries to wake up a potential waiter.
This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios
where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with
regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected.
(1) Unlocking task is killed after unlocking the futex value in user space
before being able to wake a waiter.

The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned by
the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters which in consequence
block infinitely.
(2) Waiting task is killed after a wakeup and before it can acquire the
futex in user space.

The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned
by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters, which seems to
be correct as the exiting task does not own the futex value, but
the consequence is that other waiters wont be woken up and block
infinitely.
In both scenarios the following conditions are true:
- task->robust_list->list_op_pending != NULL
- user space futex value == 0
- Regular futex (not PI)
If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a
potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems.
As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the
waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals
gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the
correctness of these operations.
This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set
the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended. Setting
OWNER_DIED in this case would result in inconsistent state and subsequently
in malfunction of the owner died handling in user space.
The rest of the user space state is still consistent as no other task can
observe the list_op_pending entry in the exiting tasks robust list.
The eventually woken up waiter will observe the uncontended lock value and
take it over.
[ tglx: Massaged changelog and comment. Made the return explicit and not
depend on the subsequent check and added constants to hand into
handle_futex_death() instead of plain numbers. Fixed a few coding
style issues. ]
