io_uring: add support for futex wake and wait
Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives.
IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as
it does support passing in a bitset.
Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.
For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.
FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.
Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.
This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.
Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.
The SQE format is as follows:
`addr` Address of futex
`fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2` Value of futex
`addr3` Mask to wake/wait

io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits
This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.
Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the
number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector
array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe->addr2
and sqe->addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.
Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:
1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.
While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.

FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.
For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.
FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.
Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.
This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.
Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.
The SQE format is as follows:
`addr` Address of futex
`fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2` Value of futex
`addr3` Mask to wake/wait

io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits
This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.
Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the
number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector
array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe->addr2
and sqe->addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.
Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:
1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.
While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.

but that punts a lot of the work to the application:
1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.
While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.

io_uring: add support for futex wake and wait
Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives.
IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as
it does support passing in a bitset.
Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.
For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.
FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.
Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.
This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.
Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.
The SQE format is as follows:
`addr` Address of futex
`fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2` Value of futex
`addr3` Mask to wake/wait

io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits
This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.
Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the
number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector
array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe->addr2
and sqe->addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.
Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:
1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:
1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.
While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.

io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits
This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.
Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the
number of elements in that array. As flags are passed in the futex_vector
array, and likewise for the value and futex address(es), sqe->addr2
and sqe->addr3 are also reserved for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.
For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.
Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:

io_uring: add support for futex wake and wait
Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives.
IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as
it does support passing in a bitset.
Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.
For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.
FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.
Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.
This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.
Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.
The SQE format is as follows:
`addr` Address of futex
`fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2` Value of futex
`addr3` Mask to wake/wait

Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.
For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.
FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.
Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. Whomever gets a 'ret == 1' return from that claims ownership
of the io_uring futex request.
This is just the barebones wait/wake support. PI or REQUEUE support is
not added at this point, unclear if we might look into that later.
Likewise, explicit timeouts are not supported either. It is expected
that users that need timeouts would do so via the usual io_uring
mechanism to do that using linked timeouts.
The SQE format is as follows:
`addr` Address of futex
`fd` futex2(2) FUTEX2_* flags
`futex_flags` io_uring specific command flags. None valid now.
`addr2` Value of futex
`addr3` Mask to wake/wait

futex: Add support for unlocking robust futexes
Unlocking robust non-PI futexes happens in user space with the following
sequence:
1) robust_list_set_op_pending(mutex);
2) robust_list_remove(mutex);
lval = 0;
3) lval = atomic_xchg(lock, lval);
4) if (lval & WAITERS)
5) sys_futex(WAKE,....);
6) robust_list_clear_op_pending();
That opens a window between #3 and #6 where the mutex could be acquired by
some other task which observes that it is the last user and:
A) unmaps the mutex memory
B) maps a different file, which ends up covering the same address
When the original task exits before reaching #6 then the kernel robust list
handling observes the pending op entry and tries to fix up user space.
In case that the newly mapped data contains the TID of the exiting thread
at the address of the mutex/futex the kernel will set the owner died bit in
that memory and therefore corrupting unrelated data.
PI futexes have a similar problem both for the non-contented user space
unlock and the in kernel unlock:
1) robust_list_set_op_pending(mutex);
2) robust_list_remove(mutex);
lval = gettid();
3) if (!atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, lval, 0))
4) sys_futex(UNLOCK_PI,....);
5) robust_list_clear_op_pending();
Address the first part of the problem where the futexes have waiters and
need to enter the kernel anyway. Add a new FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK flag, which
is valid for the sys_futex() FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI, FUTEX_WAKE, FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET
operations.
This deliberately omits FUTEX_WAKE_OP from this treatment as it's unclear
whether this is needed and there is no usage of it in glibc either to
investigate.
For the futex2 syscall family this needs to be implemented with a new
syscall.
The sys_futex() case [ab]uses the @uaddr2 argument to hand the pointer to
robust_list_head::list_pending_op into the kernel. This argument is only
evaluated when the FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK bit is set and is therefore backward
compatible.
This is an explicit argument to avoid the lookup of the robust list pointer
and retrieving the pending op pointer from there. User space has the
pointer already available so it can just put it into the @uaddr2
argument. Aside of that this allows the usage of multiple robust lists in
the future without any changes to the internal functions as they just operate
on the provided pointer.
This requires a second flag FUTEX_ROBUST_LIST32 which indicates that the
robust list pointer points to an u32 and not to an u64. This is required
for two reasons:
1) sys_futex() has no compat variant
2) The gaming emulators use both both 64-bit and compat 32-bit robust
lists in the same 64-bit application
As a consequence 32-bit applications have to set this flag unconditionally
so they can run on a 64-bit kernel in compat mode unmodified. 32-bit
kernels return an error code when the flag is not set. 64-bit kernels will
happily clear the full 64 bits if user space fails to set it.
In case of FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI this clears the robust list pending op when the
unlock succeeded. In case of errors, the user space value is still locked
by the caller and therefore the above cannot happen.
In case of FUTEX_WAKE* this does the unlock of the futex in the kernel and
clears the robust list pending op when the unlock was successful. If not,
the user space value is still locked and user space has to deal with the
returned error. That means that the unlocking of non-PI robust futexes has
to use the same try_cmpxchg() unlock scheme as PI futexes.
If the clearing of the pending list op fails (fault) then the kernel clears
the registered robust list pointer if it matches to prevent that exit()
will try to handle invalid data. That's a valid paranoid decision because
the robust list head sits usually in the TLS and if the TLS is not longer
accessible then the chance for fixing up the resulting mess is very close
to zero.
The problem of non-contended unlocks still exists and will be addressed
separately.
