License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing 1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different functions: - audit_ipc_obj() - audit_ipc_set_perm() There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid, mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to ensure that the information is captured by the audit system. The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded (and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before each instance). 2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally, the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking.

But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

ipc: fix race with LSMs Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under RCU. However, since security modules can free the security structure, for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it, creating a use-after-free condition. Manfred illustrates this nicely, for instance with shared mem and selinux: -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock() -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check(). Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks. Then it returns. -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat) -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm() -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security shm_close() -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock -> shm_close calls shm_destroy -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security) -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm) -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security) This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU readers are done. Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter. For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is kept. Linus states: "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior." I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server. In both cases selinux is enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models. While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything we weren't aware of.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock() The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that creates a race. Details are below. The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the risk of livelocks. I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and it didn't cause any problems. The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after the spin_is_locked() test.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock() The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that creates a race. Details are below. The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the risk of livelocks. I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and it didn't cause any problems. The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after the spin_is_locked() test.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock() The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that creates a race. Details are below. The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the risk of livelocks. I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and it didn't cause any problems. The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after the spin_is_locked() test.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock() The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that creates a race. Details are below. The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the risk of livelocks. I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and it didn't cause any problems. The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after the spin_is_locked() test.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?)

ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.

ipc/sem.c: avoid overflow of semop undo (semadj) value When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value. The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO flag. For example: struct sembuf depositor_op[1]; struct sembuf collector_op[2]; depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0; depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000; depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0; collector_op[0].sem_num = 0; collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; collector_op[1].sem_num = 0; collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; } return 0; It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd collector operation.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc/sem.c: avoid overflow of semop undo (semadj) value When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value. The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO flag. For example: struct sembuf depositor_op[1]; struct sembuf collector_op[2]; depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0; depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000; depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0; collector_op[0].sem_num = 0; collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; collector_op[1].sem_num = 0; collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; } return 0; It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd collector operation.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls 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.

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.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR). On a 48-core Haswell, running the ipcscale 'waitforzero' test, the following is seen with increasing thread counts: v4.8-rc5 v4.8-rc5 semopv2 Hmean sembench-sem-2 574733.00 ( 0.00%) 578322.00 ( 0.62%) Hmean sembench-sem-8 811708.00 ( 0.00%) 824689.00 ( 1.59%) Hmean sembench-sem-12 842448.00 ( 0.00%) 845409.00 ( 0.35%) Hmean sembench-sem-21 933003.00 ( 0.00%) 977748.00 ( 4.80%) Hmean sembench-sem-48 935910.00 ( 0.00%) 1004759.00 ( 7.36%) Hmean sembench-sem-79 937186.00 ( 0.00%) 983976.00 ( 4.99%) Hmean sembench-sem-234 974256.00 ( 0.00%) 1060294.00 ( 8.83%) Hmean sembench-sem-265 975468.00 ( 0.00%) 1016243.00 ( 4.18%) Hmean sembench-sem-296 991280.00 ( 0.00%) 1042659.00 ( 5.18%) Hmean sembench-sem-327 975415.00 ( 0.00%) 1029977.00 ( 5.59%) Hmean sembench-sem-358 1014286.00 ( 0.00%) 1049624.00 ( 3.48%) Hmean sembench-sem-389 972939.00 ( 0.00%) 1043127.00 ( 7.21%) Hmean sembench-sem-420 981909.00 ( 0.00%) 1056747.00 ( 7.62%) Hmean sembench-sem-451 990139.00 ( 0.00%) 1051609.00 ( 6.21%) Hmean sembench-sem-482 965735.00 ( 0.00%) 1040313.00 ( 7.72%) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: merge fix for WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q rename] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161122210410.5eca9fc2@canb.auug.org.au Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474225896-10066-3-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls 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.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window.

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls 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.

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls 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.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window.

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls 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.

Note: a) The implementation assumes that GETNCNT and GETZCNT are rare operations, therefore the code counts them only on demand. (If they wouldn't be rare, then the non-compliance would have been found earlier) b) compared to the initial version of the patch, the BUG_ONs were removed and it was clarified that the new behavior conforms to SUS. Back-compatibility concerns: Manfred: : - there is no application in Fedora that uses GETNCNT or GETZCNT. : : - application that use only single-sop semop() are also safe, the : difference only affects complex apps. : : - portable application are also safe, the new behavior is standard : compliant. : : But that's it. The old behavior existed in Linux from 0.99.something : until now. Michael: : * These operations seem to be very little used. Grepping the public : source that is contained Fedora 20 source DVD, there appear to be no : uses. Of course, this says nothing about uses in private / : non-mainstream FOSS code, but it seems likely that the same pattern : is followed there. : : * The existing behavior is hard enough to understand that I suspect : that no one understood it well enough to rely on it anyway : (especially as that behavior contradicted both man page and POSIX). : : So, there's a chance of breakage, but I estimate that it's minute.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR). On a 48-core Haswell, running the ipcscale 'waitforzero' test, the following is seen with increasing thread counts: v4.8-rc5 v4.8-rc5 semopv2 Hmean sembench-sem-2 574733.00 ( 0.00%) 578322.00 ( 0.62%) Hmean sembench-sem-8 811708.00 ( 0.00%) 824689.00 ( 1.59%) Hmean sembench-sem-12 842448.00 ( 0.00%) 845409.00 ( 0.35%) Hmean sembench-sem-21 933003.00 ( 0.00%) 977748.00 ( 4.80%) Hmean sembench-sem-48 935910.00 ( 0.00%) 1004759.00 ( 7.36%) Hmean sembench-sem-79 937186.00 ( 0.00%) 983976.00 ( 4.99%) Hmean sembench-sem-234 974256.00 ( 0.00%) 1060294.00 ( 8.83%) Hmean sembench-sem-265 975468.00 ( 0.00%) 1016243.00 ( 4.18%) Hmean sembench-sem-296 991280.00 ( 0.00%) 1042659.00 ( 5.18%) Hmean sembench-sem-327 975415.00 ( 0.00%) 1029977.00 ( 5.59%) Hmean sembench-sem-358 1014286.00 ( 0.00%) 1049624.00 ( 3.48%) Hmean sembench-sem-389 972939.00 ( 0.00%) 1043127.00 ( 7.21%) Hmean sembench-sem-420 981909.00 ( 0.00%) 1056747.00 ( 7.62%) Hmean sembench-sem-451 990139.00 ( 0.00%) 1051609.00 ( 6.21%) Hmean sembench-sem-482 965735.00 ( 0.00%) 1040313.00 ( 7.72%) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: merge fix for WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q rename] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161122210410.5eca9fc2@canb.auug.org.au Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474225896-10066-3-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ipc/sem: introduce semctl(SEM_STAT_ANY) There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata between /proc/sysvipc/sem (0444) and the SEM_STAT semctl command. The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed anyways in the procfs files. While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no writing to the sma metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some reported cases for shm. This patch introduces a new SEM_STAT_ANY command such that the sem ipc object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition, I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the procfs file.

ipc,sem: do not hold ipc lock more than necessary Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security checks, among others, only acquire it when necessary. Some numbers.... 1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following results: Baseline (3.9-rc1): cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409 + 59.40% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 6.14% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop + 3.84% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags + 3.64% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit + 2.06% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string + 1.86% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_lock With this patchset: cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213 + 18.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 11.72% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop + 7.70% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21 + 6.58% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags + 6.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit + 4.71% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_obtain_object_check 2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see some positive numbers. For an 8 socket machine the following are the percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock: Baseline (3.9-rc1): 100 swingbench users: 8,74% 400 swingbench users: 21,86% 800 swingbench users: 84,35% With this patchset: 100 swingbench users: 8,11% 400 swingbench users: 19,93% 800 swingbench users: 77,69% [riel@redhat.com: fix two locking bugs] [sasha.levin@oracle.com: prevent releasing RCU read lock twice in semctl_main] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Acked-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Cc: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing 1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different functions: - audit_ipc_obj() - audit_ipc_set_perm() There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid, mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to ensure that the information is captured by the audit system. The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded (and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before each instance). 2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally, the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

ipc/sem: introduce semctl(SEM_STAT_ANY) There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata between /proc/sysvipc/sem (0444) and the SEM_STAT semctl command. The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed anyways in the procfs files. While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no writing to the sma metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some reported cases for shm. This patch introduces a new SEM_STAT_ANY command such that the sem ipc object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition, I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the procfs file.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on.

ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.

ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop() This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem: rework task wakeups Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window.

ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in exit_sem. Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises the whole system. Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop. So this patch fixes the following: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 23s!

ipc,sem: fix use after free on IPC_RMID after a task using same semaphore set exits The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same semaphore set). For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following in the kernel log: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk 010: ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........

ipc,sem: fix use after free on IPC_RMID after a task using same semaphore set exits The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same semaphore set). For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following in the kernel log: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk 010: ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........

ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ipc,sem: fix use after free on IPC_RMID after a task using same semaphore set exits The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same semaphore set). For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following in the kernel log: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk 010: ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........

If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.

ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces Today the last process to update a semaphore is remembered and reported in the pid namespace of that process. If there are processes in any other pid namespace querying that process id with GETPID the result will be unusable nonsense as it does not make any sense in your own pid namespace. Due to ipc_update_pid I don't think you will be able to get System V ipc semaphores into a troublesome cache line ping-pong. Using struct pids from separate process are not a problem because they do not share a cache line. Using struct pid from different threads of the same process are unlikely to be a problem as the reference count update can be avoided. Further linux futexes are a much better tool for the job of mutual exclusion between processes than System V semaphores. So I expect programs that are performance limited by their interprocess mutual exclusion primitive will be using futexes. So while it is possible that enhancing the storage of the last rocess of a System V semaphore from an integer to a struct pid will cause a performance regression because of the effect of frequently updating the pid reference count. I don't expect that to happen in practice. This change updates semctl(..., GETPID, ...) to return the process id of the last process to update a semphore inthe pid namespace of the calling process.

This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.
