ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)
__send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
again :)
do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
user namespace
ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.
Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
(which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would
make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal,
which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all
SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
current in those cases.
Nov 10: (mhelsley) rename fixup_uid to more meaningful usern_fixup_signal_uid
Nov 10: (akpm) make the !CONFIG_USER_NS case clearer

sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation
completed successfully:
thread 1: thread 2:
semtimedop(), sleeps
semop():
* acquires sem_lock()
semtimedop() woken up due to timeout
sem_lock() loops
* notices that thread 2 could be completed.
* performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on.
* marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP
* drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0
* thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever
* returns to user space
* thread still delayed
semctl(IPC_RMID)
* acquires sem_lock()
* ipc_rmid(), ipcp->deleted=1
* drops sem_lock()
* thread finally continues - but seem_lock()
now fails due to ipcp->deleted == 1
* returns -EIDRM instead of 0
The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status.
In real world, the race probably doesn't matter:
If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested
if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled.

shm_lock() does a lookup of shm segment in shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr, which
is redundant as we already know shmid_kernel address. An actual lock is
also not required for reads until we really want to destroy the segment.
exit_shm() and shm_destroy_orphaned() may avoid the loop by checking
whether there is at least one segment in current ipc_namespace.
The check of nsproxy and ipc_ns against NULL is redundant as exit_shm()
is called from do_exit() before the call to exit_notify(), so the
dereferencing current->nsproxy->ipc_ns is guaranteed to be safe.

On shm segment creation store the pointer to the creator task in

use the ->shm_creator insread of shm_cprid in both functions. As
shmid_kernel object is already locked at this stage, no additional

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.
The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.
With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.
It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.
The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken
up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not
wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed. This will cause crashes,
because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer.
The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result().
This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

The kernel currently provides no functionality to analyze the RSS and swap
space usage of each individual sysvipc shared memory segment.
This patch adds this info for each existing shm segment by extending the
output of /proc/sysvipc/shm by two columns for RSS and swap.
Since shmctl(SHM_INFO) already provides a similiar calculation (it
currently sums up all RSS/swap info for all segments), I did split out a
static function which is now used by the /proc/sysvipc/shm output and
shmctl(SHM_INFO).
SAP products (esp. the SAP Netweaver ABAP Kernel) uses lots of big shared
memory segments (we often have Linux systems with >= 16GB shm usage).
Sometimes we get customer reports about "slow" system responses and while
looking into their configurations we often find massive swapping activity
on the system. With this patch it's now easy to see from the command line
if and which shm segments gets swapped out (and how much) and can more
easily give recommendations for system tuning. Without the patch it's
currently not possible to do such shm analysis at all.
Also...
Add some spaces in front of the "size" field for 64bit kernels to get the
columns correct if you cat the contents of the file. In
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() the kernel prints the size value in "SPEC_SIZE"
format, which is defined like this:
#if BITS_PER_LONG <= 32
#define SIZE_SPEC "%10lu"
#else
#define SIZE_SPEC "%21lu"
#endif
So, if the header is not adjusted, the columns are not correctly aligned.
I actually tested this on 32- and 64-bit and it seems correct now.

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

drm: use noop_llseek
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

The last change to improve the scalability moved the actual wake-up out of
the section that is protected by spin_lock(sma->sem_perm.lock).
This means that IN_WAKEUP can be in queue.status even when the spinlock is
acquired by the current task. Thus the same loop that is performed when
queue.status is read without the spinlock acquired must be performed when
the spinlock is acquired.
Thanks to kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com for noticing lack of the memory
barrier.

Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more

ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial
implementation in Linux-1.0. The patch replaces that with a top level
description of the current code.
A TODO could be derived from this text:
The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO. Thus there is
no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations.
If
- this list is removed
- the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no
list to protect)
- sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during
semctl()
then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve
scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries.
The price would be expensive semctl() calls:
for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_lock(sma->sem_lock);
<do stuff>
for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_unlock(sma->sem_lock);
I'm not sure if the complexity is worth the effort, thus here is the
documentation of the current behavior first.

The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps:
- the right tasks must be identified.
- they must be woken up.
Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held. This patch
reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point
where the spinlock is dropped.
The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make
sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention
reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current
code:
- In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2).
Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case. The patch series fix
that.
Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should
be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than
perfect FIFO.
- The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is
significantly larger than necessary.
The patch series fixes that. This change is responsible for the main
improvement.
- The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is
read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily
written to multiple times (sem_otime). The last step of the series
cacheline-aligns the spinlock.
This patch:
The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all
semaphores in the array as atomic operations. After a modification,
update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete.
The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst
case. For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2).
The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case
of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a
multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks.
A big database application uses that approach.
The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of
the patch breaks that.
