Add a m68k-only set_fc helper to set the SFC and DFC registers for the
few places that need to override it for special MM operations, but
disconnect that from the deprecated kernel-wide set_fs() API.
Note that the SFC/DFC registers are context switched, so there is no need
to disable preemption.

sigreturn has to deal with an unpleasant problem - exception stack frames
have different sizes, depending upon the exception (and processor model, as
well) and variable-sized part of exception frame may contain information
needed for instruction restart. So when signal handler terminates and calls
sigreturn to resume the execution at the place where we'd been when we caught
the signal, it has to rearrange the frame at the bottom of kernel stack.
Worse, it might need to open a gap in the kernel stack, shifting pt_regs
towards lower addresses.
Doing that from C is insane - we'd need to shift stack frames (return addresses,
local variables, etc.) of C call chain, right under the nose of compiler and
hope it won't fall apart horribly. What had been actually done is only slightly
less insane - an inline asm in mangle_kernel_stack() moved the stuff around,
then reset stack pointer and jumped to label in asm glue.
However, we can avoid all that mess if the asm wrapper we have to use anyway
would reserve some space on the stack between switch_stack and the C stack
frame of do_{rt_,}sigreturn(). Then C part can simply memmove() pt_regs +
switch_stack, memcpy() the variable part of exception frame into the opened
gap - all of that without inline asm, buggering C call chain, magical jumps
to asm labels, etc.
Asm wrapper would need to know where the moved switch_stack has ended up -
it might have been shifted into the gap we'd reserved before do_rt_sigreturn()
call. That's where it needs to set the stack pointer to. So let the C part
return just that and be done with that.
While we are at it, the call of berr_040cleanup() we need to do when
returning via 68040 bus error exception frame can be moved into C part
as well.

We get there when sigreturn has performed obscene acts on kernel stack;
in particular, the location of pt_regs has shifted. We are about to call
syscall_trace(), which might stop for tracer. If that happens, we'd better
have task_pt_regs() returning correct result...

When we have several pending signals, have entered with the kernel
with large exception frame *and* have already built at least one
sigframe, regs->stkadj is going to be non-zero and regs->format/sr/pc
are going to be junk - the real values are in shifted exception stack
frame we'd built when putting together the first sigframe.
If that happens, subsequent sigframes are going to be garbage.
Not hard to fix - just need to find the "adjusted" frame first
and look for format/vector/sr/pc in it.

In the fpsp040 code when copyin or copyout fails call
force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of do_exit(SIGSEGV).
This solves a couple of problems. Because do_exit embeds the ptrace
stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT a complete stack frame needs to be present for
that to work correctly. There is always the information needed for a
ptrace stop where get_signal is called. So exiting with a signal
solves the ptrace issue.
Further exiting with a signal ensures that all of the threads in a
process are killed not just the thread that malfunctioned. Which
avoids confusing userspace.
To make force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) work in fpsp040_die modify the code to
save all of the registers and jump to ret_from_exception (which
ultimately calls get_signal) after fpsp040_die returns.
v2: Updated the branches to use gas's pseudo ops that automatically
calculate the best branch instruction to use for the purpose.

Pull siginfo fix from Eric Biederman:
"During the merge window an issue with si_perf and the siginfo ABI came
up. The alpha and sparc siginfo structure layout had changed with the
addition of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF and the new field si_perf.
The reason only alpha and sparc were affected is that they are the
only architectures that use si_trapno.
Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only a few
select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the other
_sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all. Which means technically
no regression on alpha and sparc.
While the alignment concerns might be dismissed the abuse of si_errno
by SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF does have the potential to cause regressions in
existing userspace.
While we still have time before userspace starts using and depending
on the new definition siginfo for SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF this set of
changes cleans up siginfo_t.
- The si_trapno field is demoted from magic alpha and sparc status
and made an ordinary union member of the _sigfault member of
siginfo_t. Without moving it of course.
- si_perf is replaced with si_perf_data and si_perf_type ending the
abuse of si_errno.
- Unnecessary additions to signalfd_siginfo are removed"

In commit fa8b90070a ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
"Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.
Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.
From Mickaël's cover letter:
"The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
themselves.
Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
Pledge/Unveil.
In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:
- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability enumeration method
introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This table is in a well-defined PCI
namespace location and is read via MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter blocks, but
fancier counters still need to be enumerated explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of 'hybrid' CPUs
and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big') and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived)
cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU side there's
core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX profiling, by
fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The immediate motivation
is to support low-overhead sampling-based race detection for user-space code. The
feature consists of the following main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits
inheritance of events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap, extend siginfo with an u64
::si_perf, and add the breakpoint information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the new field can be used
to introduce support for other types of metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via
perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

Merge tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
"This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
original task identity.
This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
we'll find).
With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
on tracking state, or switching between different states.
I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
manageable.
There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
5.11 stable branches as well.
That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:
- arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
implementation.
- Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
longer needed or useful"

This implements the missing mount_setattr() syscall. While the new mount
api allows to change the properties of a superblock there is currently
no way to change the properties of a mount or a mount tree using file
descriptors which the new mount api is based on. In addition the old
mount api has the restriction that mount options cannot be applied
recursively. This hasn't changed since changing mount options on a
per-mount basis was implemented in [1] and has been a frequent request
not just for convenience but also for security reasons. The legacy
mount syscall is unable to accommodate this behavior without introducing
a whole new set of flags because MS_REC | MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND |
MS_RDONLY | MS_NOEXEC | [...] only apply the mount option to the topmost
mount. Changing MS_REC to apply to the whole mount tree would mean
introducing a significant uapi change and would likely cause significant
regressions.
The new mount_setattr() syscall allows to recursively clear and set
mount options in one shot. Multiple calls to change mount options
requesting the same changes are idempotent:
int mount_setattr(int dfd, const char *path, unsigned flags,
struct mount_attr *uattr, size_t usize);
Flags to modify path resolution behavior are specified in the @flags
argument. Currently, AT_EMPTY_PATH, AT_RECURSIVE, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW,
and AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT are supported. If useful, additional lookup flags to
restrict path resolution as introduced with openat2() might be supported
in the future.
The mount_setattr() syscall can be expected to grow over time and is
designed with extensibility in mind. It follows the extensible syscall
pattern we have used with other syscalls such as openat2(), clone3(),
sched_{set,get}attr(), and others.
The set of mount options is passed in the uapi struct mount_attr which
currently has the following layout:
struct mount_attr {
__u64 attr_set;
__u64 attr_clr;
__u64 propagation;
__u64 userns_fd;
};
The @attr_set and @attr_clr members are used to clear and set mount
options. This way a user can e.g. request that a set of flags is to be
raised such as turning mounts readonly by raising MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY in
@attr_set while at the same time requesting that another set of flags is
to be lowered such as removing noexec from a mount tree by specifying
MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC in @attr_clr.
Note, since the MOUNT_ATTR_<atime> values are an enum starting from 0,
not a bitmap, users wanting to transition to a different atime setting
cannot simply specify the atime setting in @attr_set, but must also
specify MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME in the @attr_clr field. So we ensure that
MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME can't be partially set in @attr_clr and that @attr_set
can't have any atime bits set if MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME isn't set in
@attr_clr.
The @propagation field lets callers specify the propagation type of a
mount tree. Propagation is a single property that has four different
settings and as such is not really a flag argument but an enum.
Specifically, it would be unclear what setting and clearing propagation
settings in combination would amount to. The legacy mount() syscall thus
forbids the combination of multiple propagation settings too. The goal
is to keep the semantics of mount propagation somewhat simple as they
are overly complex as it is.
The @userns_fd field lets user specify a user namespace whose idmapping
becomes the idmapping of the mount. This is implemented and explained in
detail in the next patch.

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
"This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.
Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
wait queue head lock.
The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.
Roman Gershman <romger@amazon.com> reported that his networked
workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
[1].
There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.
There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
any more.
The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as

For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one
Arm platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this
gets cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
function. Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS'
in Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead.

Building a kernel with multiple dragonball based boards
enabled needlessly causes a link failure because of duplicate
config_BSP() functions between the CPU versions.
Avoid that merging the three almost identical files into one,
and hiding the CPU configuration behind the board config.
The pr_info() lines are consolidated in one place.
It is still not possible to run a kernel configured for
more than one board, but at least configurations that can
be selected can also be built now.

The kernel start up code for all of the nommu m68k types expects the BSS
section to be on a 4-byte boundary, and to be a whole number of 32bit
words. The BSS initialization loop sets 32bit sized quantities and has
no provision for odd or unaligned accesses.
The alignment and size of the BSS has historically worked out to be 4-byte
aligned and sized - although no explicit alignment or size was specified in
the linker script. So the BSS zeroing code worked as expected.
A problem was first observed after commit 7273ad2b08 ("kbuild: link lib-y
objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"). Some kernel builds,
depending on exact configuration, then tended to generate even sized BSS
sections - which is valid on m68k - but our BSS init code could not handle
properly.
The simplest and smallest solution is to align and size the BSS
appropriately.

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.
The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.
To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).
Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.
ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.
I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.
If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.
So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)
The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
<sys/uio.h> as:
struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};
The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).
The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.
MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUT
Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).
The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.
FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.
After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.
In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.
So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.
Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.
So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.
- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?
process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.
The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.
To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.
Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.
