By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake up early, as is currently possible. As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up two PF_flags (yay!). Specifically; the current scheme works a little like: freezer_do_not_count(); schedule(); freezer_count(); And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer() through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer considers it frozen and continues. However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count() stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run before its time. That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back. This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9) where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run. As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add the following state transitions: TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL (IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is lost). The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since their canonical state is in ->jobctl. With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Track how many threads have not started exiting and when the last thread starts exiting set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. This guarantees that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT will get set when a process exits. In practice this achieves nothing as glibc's implementation of _exit calls sys_group_exit then sys_exit. While glibc's implemenation of pthread_exit calls exit (which cleansup and calls _exit) if it is the last thread and sys_exit if it is the last thread. This means the only way the kernel might observe a process that does not set call exit_group is if the language runtime does not use glibc. With more cleanups I hope to move the decrement of quick_threads earlier. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87bkukd4tc.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function do_group_exit has an optimization that avoids taking siglock and doing the work to find other threads in the signal group and shutting them down. It is very desirable for SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT to always been set whenever it is decided for the process to exit. That ensures only a single place needs to be tested, and a single bit of state needs to be looked at. This makes the optimization in do_group_exit counter productive. Make the code and maintenance simpler by removing this unnecessary option. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87letod4v3.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Core ---- - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO). - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little. Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns. Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration to complete out of order. - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect). - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the stack. - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically allocated per-CPU counters. - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT. - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs. BPF --- - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity. Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting split. - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers. - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the user-mode-driver dependency. - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling its use as a packet generator. - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called from a hook allowed to sleep. - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch bits to come later). - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF kfunc infra. - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space. - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching. - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers. - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64. - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels without BTF info. - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations. Protocols --------- - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev. - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames. - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable, via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client behavior. - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge. - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames. - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.) - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets. - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS. Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules. - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X). - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs, doubling the performance in some scenarios. - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch. - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port. Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor. - SMC - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile() - support auto-corking - support TCP_NODELAY - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) - add user space tag control interface - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237) - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi. - Bluetooth: - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events - Multi-Path TCP: - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB. Driver API ---------- - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to software interfaces such as tunnels. - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8. - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks. - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of TCP zero-copy Rx. - Allow configuring completion queue event size. - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation. - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool. - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches. - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture): - replay and offload of host VLAN entries - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces - FDB isolation and unicast filtering New hardware / drivers ---------------------- - Ethernet: - LAN937x T1 PHYs - Davicom DM9051 SPI NIC driver - Realtek RTL8367S, RTL8367RB-VB switch and MDIO - Microchip ksz8563 switches - Netronome NFP3800 SmartNICs - Fungible SmartNICs - MediaTek MT8195 switches - WiFi: - mt76: MediaTek mt7916 - mt76: MediaTek mt7921u USB adapters - brcmfmac: Broadcom BCM43454/6 - Mobile: - iosm: Intel M.2 7360 WWAN card Drivers ------- - Convert many drivers to the new phylink API built for split PCS designs but also simplifying other cases. - Intel Ethernet NICs: - add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device - improve AF_XDP performance - GTP-C and GTP-U filter offload - QinQ VLAN support - Mellanox Ethernet NICs (mlx5): - support xdp->data_meta - multi-buffer XDP - offload tc push_eth and pop_eth actions - Netronome Ethernet NICs (nfp): - flow-independent tc action hardware offload (police / meter) - AF_XDP - Other Ethernet NICs: - at803x: fiber and SFP support - xgmac: mdio: preamble suppression and custom MDC frequencies - r8169: enable ASPM L1.2 if system vendor flags it as safe - macb/gem: ZynqMP SGMII - hns3: add TX push mode - dpaa2-eth: software TSO - lan743x: multi-queue, mdio, SGMII, PTP - axienet: NAPI and GRO support - Mellanox Ethernet switches (mlxsw): - source and dest IP address rewrites - RJ45 ports - Marvell Ethernet switches (prestera): - basic routing offload - multi-chain TC ACL offload - NXP embedded Ethernet switches (ocelot & felix): - PTP over UDP with the ocelot-8021q DSA tagging protocol - basic QoS classification on Felix DSA switch using dcbnl - port mirroring for ocelot switches - Microchip high-speed industrial Ethernet (sparx5): - offloading of bridge port flooding flags - PTP Hardware Clock - Other embedded switches: - lan966x: PTP Hardward Clock - qca8k: mdio read/write operations via crafted Ethernet packets - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - add LDPC FEC type and 802.11ax High Efficiency data in radiotap - enable RX PPDU stats in monitor co-exist mode - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - UHB TAS enablement via BIOS - band disablement via BIOS - channel switch offload - 32 Rx AMPDU sessions in newer devices - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - background radar detection - thermal management improvements on mt7915 - SAR support for more mt76 platforms - MBSSID and 6 GHz band on mt7915 - RealTek WiFi: - rtw89: AP mode - rtw89: 160 MHz channels and 6 GHz band - rtw89: hardware scan - Bluetooth: - mt7921s: wake on Bluetooth, SCO over I2S, wide-band-speed (WBS) - Microchip CAN (mcp251xfd): - multiple RX-FIFOs and runtime configurable RX/TX rings - internal PLL, runtime PM handling simplification - improve chip detection and error handling after wakeup" * tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2521 commits) llc: fix netdevice reference leaks in llc_ui_bind() drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt net/sched: fix incorrect vlan_push_eth dest field net: bridge: mst: Restrict info size queries to bridge ports net: marvell: prestera: add missing destroy_workqueue() in prestera_module_init() drivers: net: xgene: Fix regression in CRC stripping net: geneve: add missing netlink policy and size for IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT net: dsa: fix missing host-filtered multicast addresses net/mlx5e: Fix build warning, detected write beyond size of field iwlwifi: mvm: Don't fail if PPAG isn't supported selftests/bpf: Fix kprobe_multi test.

* exit: Coredumps reach do_group_exitEric W. Biederman2022-01-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment about coredumps not reaching do_group_exit and the corresponding BUG_ON are bogus. What happens and has happened for years is that get_signal calls do_coredump (which sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and group_exit_code) and then do_group_exit passing the signal number. Then do_group_exit ignores the exit_code it is passed and uses signal->group_exit_code from the coredump. The comment and BUG_ON were correct when they were added during the 2.5 development cycle, but became obsolete and incorrect when get_signal was changed to fall through to do_group_exit after do_coredump in 2.6.10-rc2.

* signal: Remove the helper signal_group_exitEric W. Biederman2022-01-081-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This helper is misleading. It tests for an ongoing exec as well as the process having received a fatal signal. Sometimes it is appropriate to treat an on-going exec differently than a process that is shutting down due to a fatal signal. In particular taking the fast path out of exit_signals instead of retargeting signals is not appropriate during exec, and not changing the the exit code in do_group_exit during exec. Removing the helper makes it more obvious what is going on as both cases must be coded for explicitly. While removing the helper fix the two cases where I have observed using signal_group_exit resulted in the wrong result. In exit_signals only test for SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT so that signals are retargetted during an exec. In do_group_exit use 0 as the exit code during an exec as de_thread does not set group_exit_code. As best as I can determine group_exit_code has been is set to 0 most of the time during de_thread. During a thread group stop group_exit_code is set to the stop signal and when the thread group receives SIGCONT group_exit_code is reset to 0.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept.

This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up, making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions with the signal handling code is cleaned up. The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs. I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change the userspace visible behavior. In previous discussions some of these changes were organized differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups and bug fixes. Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will still be improved. If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become per signal_struct" * 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop signal: Remove the bogus sigkill_pending in ptrace_stop

In the case of vfork this looks like a real world problem. Consider the following well defined sequence. if (vfork() == 0) { execve(...); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } If a signal that generates a core dump is received after vfork but before the execve changes the mm the process that called vfork will also be killed (as the mm is shared). Similarly if the execve fails after the point of no return the kernel delivers SIGSEGV which will kill both the exec'ing process and because the mm is shared the process that called vfork as well. As far as I can tell this behavior is a violation of people's reasonable expectations, POSIX, and is unnecessarily fragile when the system is low on memory. Solve this by making a userspace visible change to only kill a single process/thread group. This is possible because Jann Horn recently modified[1] the coredump code so that the mm can safely be modified while the coredump is happening. With LinuxThreads long gone I don't expect anyone to have a notice this behavior change in practice. To accomplish this move the core_state pointer from mm_struct to signal_struct, which allows different thread groups to coredump simultatenously. In zap_threads remove the work to kill anything except for the current thread group. v2: Remove core_state from the VM_BUG_ON_MM print to fix compile failure when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete. Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process. Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to test for a coredump in progress from mm_release. Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace". The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true. Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached until after the coredump completes.

This allows rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous user_namespaces cannot be exceeded. To illustrate the impact of rlimits, let's say there is a program that does not fork. Some service-A wants to run this program as user X in multiple containers. Since the program never fork the service wants to set RLIMIT_NPROC=1. service-A \- program (uid=1000, container1, rlimit_nproc=1) \- program (uid=1000, container2, rlimit_nproc=1) The service-A sets RLIMIT_NPROC=1 and runs the program in container1. When the service-A tries to run a program with RLIMIT_NPROC=1 in container2 it fails since user X already has one running process.

I do not believe these are correct, and I'm about to release 5.13, so am reverting them out of an abundance of caution. The locking is odd, and appears broken. On the allocation side (in __sigqueue_alloc()), the locking is somewhat straightforward: it depends on sighand->siglock. Since one caller doesn't hold that lock, it further then tests 'sigqueue_flags' to avoid the case with no locks held. On the freeing side (in sigqueue_cache_or_free()), there is no locking at all, and the logic instead depends on 'current' being a single thread, and not able to race with itself. To make things more exciting, there's also the data race between freeing a signal and allocating one, which is handled by using WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE(), and being mutually exclusive wrt the initial state (ie freeing will only free if the old state was NULL, while allocating will obviously only use the value if it was non-NULL, so only one or the other will actually act on the value). However, while the free->alloc paths do seem mutually exclusive thanks to just the data value dependency, it's not clear what the memory ordering constraints are on it. Could writes from the previous allocation possibly be delayed and seen by the new allocation later, causing logical inconsistencies? So it's all very exciting and unusual. And in particular, it seems that the freeing side is incorrect in depending on "current" being single-threaded. Yes, 'current' is a single thread, but in the presense of asynchronous events even a single thread can have data races. And such asynchronous events can and do happen, with interrupts causing signals to be flushed and thus free'd (for example - sending a SIGCONT/SIGSTOP can happen from interrupt context, and can flush previously queued process control signals). So regardless of all the other questions about the memory ordering and locking for this new cached allocation, the sigqueue_cache_or_free() assumptions seem to be fundamentally incorrect. It may be that people will show me the errors of my ways, and tell me why this is all safe after all. We can reinstate it if so. But my current belief is that the WRITE_ONCE() that sets the cached entry needs to be a smp_store_release(), and the READ_ONCE() that finds a cached entry needs to be a smp_load_acquire() to handle memory ordering correctly. And the sequence in sigqueue_cache_or_free() would need to either use a lock or at least be interrupt-safe some way (perhaps by using something like the percpu 'cmpxchg': it doesn't need to be SMP-safe, but like the percpu operations it needs to be interrupt-safe).

* | do_wait: make PIDTYPE_PID case O(1) instead of O(n)Jim Newsome2021-05-061-10/+57

This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a thread group with many children and/or tracees. Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already has N children [1]: N | Before | After -----|---------|------ 1 | 74 us | 74 us 20 | 72 us | 75 us 100 | 83 us | 77 us 500 | 99 us | 74 us 1000 | 179 us | 75 us 5000 | 804 us | 79 us 8000 | 1268 us | 78 us [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567 This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling (without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

* | signal: Allow tasks to cache one sigqueue structThomas Gleixner2021-04-141-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea for this originates from the real time tree to make signal delivery for realtime applications more efficient. In quite some of these application scenarios a control tasks signals workers to start their computations. There is usually only one signal per worker on flight. This works nicely as long as the kmem cache allocations do not hit the slow path and cause latencies. To cure this an optimistic caching was introduced (limited to RT tasks) which allows a task to cache a single sigqueue in a pointer in task_struct instead of handing it back to the kmem cache after consuming a signal. When the next signal is sent to the task then the cached sigqueue is used instead of allocating a new one. This solved the problem for this set of application scenarios nicely. The task cache is not preallocated so the first signal sent to a task goes always to the cache allocator. The cached sigqueue stays around until the task exits and is freed when task::sighand is dropped. After posting this solution for mainline the discussion came up whether this would be useful in general and should not be limited to realtime tasks: https://lore.kernel.org/r/m11rcu7nbr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org One concern leading to the original limitation was to avoid a large amount of pointlessly cached sigqueues in alive tasks. The other concern was vs. RLIMIT_SIGPENDING as these cached sigqueues are not accounted for. The accounting problem is real, but on the other hand slightly academic. After gathering some statistics it turned out that after boot of a regular distro install there are less than 10 sigqueues cached in ~1500 tasks. In case of a 'mass fork and fire signal to child' scenario the extra 80 bytes of memory per task are well in the noise of the overall memory consumption of the fork bomb. If this should be limited then this would need an extra counter in struct user, more atomic instructions and a seperate rlimit. Yet another tunable which is mostly unused. The caching is actually used. After boot and a full kernel compile on a 64CPU machine with make -j128 the number of 'allocations' looks like this: From slab: 23996 From task cache: 52223 I.e. it reduces the number of slab cache operations by ~68%. A typical pattern there is: <...>-58490 __sigqueue_alloc: for 58488 from slab ffff8881132df460 <...>-58488 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881132df460 <...>-58488 __sigqueue_alloc: for 1149 from cache ffff8881103dc550 bash-1149 exit_task_sighand: free ffff8881132df460 bash-1149 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881103dc550 The interesting sequence is that the exiting task 58488 grabs the sigqueue from bash's task cache to signal exit and bash sticks it back into it's own cache. Lather, rinse and repeat. The caching is probably not noticable for the general use case, but the benefit for latency sensitive applications is clear. While kmem caches are usually just serving from the fast path the slab merging (default) can depending on the usage pattern of the merged slabs cause occasional slow path allocations. The time spared per cached entry is a few micro seconds per signal which is not relevant for e.g. a kernel build, but for signal heavy workloads it's measurable. As there is no real downside of this caching mechanism making it unconditionally available is preferred over more conditional code or new magic tunables.

Doing that might require extra state saved on the stack in asm glue at kernel entry; signal delivery logics does that (we need to be able to save sigcontext there, at the very least) and so does seccomp. That covers all callers of do_coredump(). Secondary threads get hit with SIGKILL and caught as soon as they reach exit_mm(), which normally happens in signal delivery, so those are also fine most of the time. Unfortunately, it is possible to end up with secondary zapped when it has already entered exit(2) (or, worse yet, is oopsing). In those cases we reach exit_mm() when mm->core_state is already set, but the stack contents is not what we would have in signal delivery. At least on two architectures (alpha and m68k) it leads to infoleaks - we end up with a chunk of kernel stack written into coredump, with the contents consisting of normal C stack frames of the call chain leading to exit_mm() instead of the expected copy of userland registers. In case of alpha we leak 312 bytes of stack. Other architectures (including the regset-using ones) might have similar problems - the normal user of regsets is ptrace and the state of tracee at the time of such calls is special in the same way signal delivery is. Note that had the zapper gotten to the exiting thread slightly later, it wouldn't have been included into coredump anyway - we skip the threads that have already cleared their ->mm. So let's pretend that zapper always loses the race. IOW, have exit_mm() only insert into the dumper list if we'd gotten there from handling a fatal signal[*] As the result, the callers of do_exit() that have *not* gone through get_signal() are not seen by coredump logics as secondary threads. Which excludes voluntary exit()/oopsen/traps/etc. The dumper thread itself is unaffected by that, so seccomp is fine.

* exit: support non-blocking pidfdsChristian Brauner2020-09-041-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Passing a non-blocking pidfd to waitid() currently has no effect, i.e. is not supported. There are users which would like to use waitid() on pidfds that are O_NONBLOCK and mix it with pidfds that are blocking and both pass them to waitid(). The expected behavior is to have waitid() return -EAGAIN for non-blocking pidfds and to block for blocking pidfds without needing to perform any additional checks for flags set on the pidfd before passing it to waitid(). Non-blocking pidfds will return EAGAIN from waitid() when no child process is ready yet. Returning -EAGAIN for non-blocking pidfds makes it easier for event loops that handle EAGAIN specially. It also makes the API more consistent and uniform. In essence, waitid() is treated like a read on a non-blocking pidfd or a recvmsg() on a non-blocking socket. With the addition of support for non-blocking pidfds we support the same functionality that sockets do. For sockets() recvmsg() supports MSG_DONTWAIT for pidfds waitid() supports WNOHANG. Both flags are per-call options. In contrast non-blocking pidfds and non-blocking sockets are a setting on an open file description affecting all threads in the calling process as well as other processes that hold file descriptors referring to the same open file description. Both behaviors, per call and per open file description, have genuine use-cases. The implementation should be straightforward: - If a non-blocking pidfd is passed and WNOHANG is not raised we simply raise the WNOHANG flag internally. When do_wait() returns indicating that there are eligible child processes but none have exited yet we set EAGAIN. If no child process exists we continue returning ECHILD. - If a non-blocking pidfd is passed and WNOHANG is raised waitid() will continue returning 0, i.e. it will not set EAGAIN. This ensure backwards compatibility with applications passing WNOHANG explicitly with pidfds. A concrete use-case that was brought on-list was Josh's async pidfd library. Ever since the introduction of pidfds and more advanced async io various programming languages such as Rust have grown support for async event libraries. These libraries are created to help build epoll-based event loops around file descriptors. A common pattern is to automatically make all file descriptors they manage to O_NONBLOCK. For such libraries the EAGAIN error code is treated specially. When a function is called that returns EAGAIN the function isn't called again until the event loop indicates the the file descriptor is ready. Supporting EAGAIN when waiting on pidfds makes such libraries just work with little effort.

* kernel: add a kernel_wait helperChristoph Hellwig2020-08-121-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in kernel pointer. Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.
