Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.
um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:
- arch has its own implementation
- the same header is added to generated-y
- the same header is added to mandatory-y
If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:
scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h
I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process
has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a
signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This
issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1].
This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on
struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd
can be used to send signals to the process it refers to.
Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this
problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd).
/* prototype and argument /*
long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags);
/* syscall number 424 */
The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his
y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]).
In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional
siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then
pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it
is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo().
The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall.
It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL.
/* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */
The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of
rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a
positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also
replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended.
/* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */
Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on
process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions.
In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and
process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and
PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will
determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other
words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a
property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been
requested by Eric (cf. [19]).
When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then
pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which
operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls.
How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched
in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment
to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it.
Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as
possible (cf. [4]).
/* naming */
The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset:
- procfd_signal()
- procfd_send_signal()
- taskfd_send_signal()
In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the
flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types
of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as
prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]).
Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_"
prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name
we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding.
The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall
takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the
name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the
fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for
kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct
spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not
descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name
"pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals.
/* zombies */
Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be
reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However,
this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need
ever arises.
/* cross-namespace signals */
The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in
the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor
of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity
and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct
siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]).
/* compat syscalls */
It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls
(cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c
itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid
compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of
__copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original
implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12).
With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve
significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain
any additional callers.
/* testing */
This patch was tested on x64 and x86.
/* userspace usage */
An asciinema recording for the basic functionality can be found under [9].

Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21])
Is the task_struct pinned by the fd?
A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I
understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to
pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]).
Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry
within it?
A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor
to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]).
Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the pid remain reserved?
A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not
recycled (cf. [22]).
Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21])
Do attempts to signal that fd return errors?
A-05: See {Q,A}-01.
Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22])
Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps.
A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs
so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence,
there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make
pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However,
adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a
future patchset (cf. [22]).
Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well
think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to
signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such
future applications?
A-07: Yes (cf. [22]).
Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking
rather like an ioctl?
A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is
preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from
prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when
signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall
seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four
arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the
ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more
complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will
replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above).
The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this
syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also
[22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here.
Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24])
What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor?
A-09:
pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a
process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the
equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that
operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the
open(2) manpage. See also [4].

This reverts commit 71883a62fcd6c70639fa12cda733378b4d997409.
The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which
uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes,
kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range
which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched.
See an example of this race below:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 3
// zap_direct_gfn_range
mmu_lock()
// *ptep == pte_1
*ptep = 0
if (lock_flush_tlb)
flush_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
// In invalidate range
// MMU notifier
mmu_lock()
if (pte != 0)
*ptep = 0
flush = true
if (flush)
flush_remote_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
return
// Host MM reallocates
// page previously
// backing guest memory.
// Guest accesses
// invalid page
// through pte_1
// in its TLB!!
Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and
without this patch. The patch introduced no new failures.

The invariant TSC bit has the following meaning:
"The time stamp counter in newer processors may support an enhancement,
referred to as invariant TSC. Processor's support for invariant TSC
is indicated by CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]. The invariant TSC will run
at a constant rate in all ACPI P-, C-. and T-states. This is the
architectural behavior moving forward. On processors with invariant TSC
support, the OS may use the TSC for wall clock timer services (instead
of ACPI or HPET timers). TSC reads are much more efficient and do not
incur the overhead associated with a ring transition or access to a
platform resource."
IOW, TSC does not change frequency. In such case, and with
TSC scaling hardware available to handle migration, it is possible
to use the TSC clocksource directly, whose system calls are
faster.
Reduce the rating of kvmclock clocksource to allow TSC clocksource
to be the default if invariant TSC is exposed.

'bool mmio_only' would be to pass a callback function to filter the
shadow page, i.e. to make __kvm_mmu_zap_all() generic and reusable, but
zapping all shadow pages is a last resort, i.e. making the helper less
extensible is a feature of sorts. And the explicit MMIO parameter makes
it easy to preserve the WARN_ON_ONCE() if a restart is triggered when
zapping MMIO sptes.

Paolo expressed a concern that kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() could have a
quadratic runtime[1], i.e. restarting the spte walk while zapping only
MMIO sptes could result in re-walking large portions of the list over
and over due to the non-MMIO sptes encountered before the restart not
being removed.
At the time, the concern was legitimate as the walk was restarted when
any spte was zapped. But that is no longer the case as the walk is now
restarted iff one or more children have been zapped, which is necessary
because zapping children makes the active_mmu_pages list unstable.
Furthermore, it should be impossible for an MMIO spte to have children,
i.e. zapping an MMIO spte should never result in zapping children. In
other words, kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() should never restart its walk, and
so should always execute in linear time. WARN if this assertion fails.
Although it should never be needed, leave the restart logic in place.
In normal operation, the cost is at worst an extra CMP+Jcc, and if for
some reason the list does become unstable, not restarting would likely
crash KVM, or worse, the kernel.

The return value of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() has evolved to become
overloaded to convey two separate pieces of information. 1) was at
least one page zapped and 2) has the list of MMU pages become unstable.
In it's original incarnation (as kvm_mmu_zap_page()), there was no
return value at all. Commit 0738541396be ("KVM: MMU: awareness of new
kvm_mmu_zap_page behaviour") added a return value in preparation for
commit 4731d4c7a077 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"). Although
the return value was of type 'int', it was actually used as a boolean
to indicate whether or not active_mmu_pages may have become unstable due
to zapping children. Walking a list with list_for_each_entry_safe()
only protects against deleting/moving the current entry, i.e. zapping a
child page would break iteration due to modifying any number of entries.
Later, commit 60c8aec6e2c9 ("KVM: MMU: use page array in unsync walk")
modified mmu_zap_unsync_children() to return an approximation of the
number of children zapped. This was not intentional, it was simply a
side effect of how the code was written.
The unintented side affect was then morphed into an actual feature by
commit 77662e0028c7 ("KVM: MMU: fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling
path"), which modified kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() to use the number of
zapped pages when determining the number of MMU pages in use by the VM.
Finally, commit 54a4f0239f2e ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
the number of pages it actually freed") added the initial page to the
return value to make its behavior more consistent with what most users
would expect. Incorporating the initial parent page in the return value
of kvm_mmu_zap_page() breaks the original usage of restarting a list
walk on a non-zero return value to handle a potentially unstable list,
i.e. walks will unnecessarily restart when any page is zapped.
Fix this by restoring the original behavior of kvm_mmu_zap_page(), i.e.
return a boolean to indicate that the list may be unstable and move the
number of zapped children to a dedicated parameter. Since the majority
of callers to kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() don't care about either return
value, preserve the current definition of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() by
making it a wrapper of a new helper, __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(). This
avoids having to update every call site and also provides cleaner code
for functions that only care about the number of pages zapped.
Fixes: 54a4f0239f2e ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return

Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping all sptes to reschedule if needed
or to release and reacquire mmu_lock in case of contention. There is no
need to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping all
sptes is done only when the owning userspace VMM has exited or when the
VM is being destroyed, i.e. there is no interplay with memslots or MMIO
generations to worry about.
Be paranoid and restart the walk if mmu_lock is dropped to avoid any
potential issues with consuming a stale iterator. The overhead in doing
so is negligible as at worst there will be a few root shadow pages at
the head of the list, i.e. the iterator is essentially the head of the
list already.

...to guarantee forward progress. When zapped, root pages are marked
invalid and moved to the head of the active pages list until they are
explicitly freed. Theoretically, having unzappable root pages at the
head of the list could prevent kvm_mmu_zap_all() from making forward
progress were a future patch to add a loop restart after processing a
page, e.g. to drop mmu_lock on contention.
Although kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() can theoretically take action on
invalid pages, e.g. to zap unsync children, functionally it's not
necessary (root pages will be re-zapped when freed) and practically
speaking the odds of e.g. @unsync or @unsync_children becoming %true
while zapping all pages is basically nil.

Revert to a slow kvm_mmu_zap_all() for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all().
Flushing all shadow entries is only done during VM teardown, i.e.
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() is only called when the associated MM struct
is being released or when the VM instance is being freed.
Although the performance of teardown itself isn't critical, KVM should
still voluntarily schedule to play nice with the rest of the kernel;
but that can be done without the fast invalidate mechanism in a future
patch.

Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping MMIO to reschedule if needed or to
release and reacquire mmu_lock in case of contention. There is no need
to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping MMIO sptes
is done when holding the memslots lock and with the "update in-progress"
bit set in the memslots generation, which disables MMIO spte caching.
The walk does need to be restarted if mmu_lock is dropped as the active
pages list may be modified.

Revert back to a dedicated (and slower) mechanism for handling the
scenario where all MMIO shadow PTEs need to be zapped due to overflowing
the MMIO generation number. The MMIO generation scenario is almost
literally a one-in-a-million occurrence, i.e. is not a performance
sensitive scenario.
Restoring kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() leaves VM teardown as the only user
of kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_all_pages() and paves the way for removing
the fast invalidate mechanism altogether.

Remove x86 KVM's fast invalidate mechanism, i.e. revert all patches
from the original series[1].
Though not explicitly stated, for all intents and purposes the fast
invalidate mechanism was added to speed up the scenario where removing
a memslot, e.g. as part of accessing reading PCI ROM, caused KVM to
flush all shadow entries[1]. Now that the memslot case flushes only
shadow entries belonging to the memslot, i.e. doesn't use the fast
invalidate mechanism, the only remaining usage of the mechanism are
when the VM is being destroyed and when the MMIO generation rolls
over.
When a VM is being destroyed, either there are no active vcpus, i.e.
there's no lock contention, or the VM has ungracefully terminated, in
which case we want to reclaim its pages as quickly as possible, i.e.
not release the MMU lock if there are still CPUs executing in the VM.
The MMIO generation scenario is almost literally a one-in-a-million
occurrence, i.e. is not a performance sensitive scenario.
Given that lock-breaking is not desirable (VM teardown) or irrelevant
(MMIO generation overflow), remove the fast invalidate mechanism to
simplify the code (a small amount) and to discourage future code from
zapping all pages as using such a big hammer should be a last restort.
This reverts commit f6f8adeef542a18b1cb26a0b772c9781a10bb477.

Modify kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_pages_in_memslot(), a.k.a. the x86 MMU's
handler for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot(), to zap only the pages/PTEs
that actually belong to the memslot being removed. This improves
performance, especially why the deleted memslot has only a few shadow
entries, or even no entries. E.g. a microbenchmark to access regular
memory while concurrently reading PCI ROM to trigger memslot deletion
showed a 5% improvement in throughput.

The code to propagate the memslots generation number into MMIO sptes is
a bit convoluted. The "what" is relatively straightfoward, e.g. the
comment explaining which bits go where is quite readable, but the "how"
requires a lot of staring to understand what is happening. For example,
'MMIO_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is actually used to calculate the high bits of the
spte, while 'MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is used to calculate the low bits.
Refactor the code to:
- use #defines whose values align with the bits defined in the comment
- use consistent code for both the high and low mask
- explicitly highlight the handling of bit 0 (update in-progress flag)
- explicitly call out that the defines are for MMIO sptes (to avoid
confusion with the per-vCPU MMIO cache, which uses the full memslots
generation)
In addition to making the code a little less magical, this paves the way
for moving the update in-progress flag to bit 63 without having to
simultaneously rewrite all of the MMIO spte code.

KVM currently uses an 'unsigned int' for the MMIO generation number
despite it being derived from the 64-bit memslots generation and
being propagated to (potentially) 64-bit sptes. There is no hidden
agenda behind using an 'unsigned int', it's done simply because the
MMIO generation will never set bits above bit 19.
Passing a u64 will allow the "update in-progress" flag to be relocated
from bit 0 to bit 63 and removes the need to cast the generation back
to a u64 when propagating it to a spte.

KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f1598d ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

When installing new memslots, KVM sets bit 0 of the generation number to
indicate that an update is in-progress. Until the update is complete,
there are no guarantees as to whether a vCPU will see the old or the new
memslots. Explicity prevent caching MMIO accesses so as to avoid using
an access cached from the old memslots after the new memslots have been
installed.
Note that it is unclear whether or not disabling caching during the
update window is strictly necessary as there is no definitive
documentation as to what ordering guarantees KVM provides with respect
to updating memslots. That being said, the MMIO spte code does not
allow reusing sptes created while an update is in-progress, and the
associated documentation explicitly states:
We do not want to use an MMIO sptes created with an odd generation
number, ... If KVM is unlucky and creates an MMIO spte while the
low bit is 1, the next access to the spte will always be a cache miss.
At the very least, disabling the per-vCPU MMIO cache during updates will
make its behavior consistent with the MMIO spte behavior and
documentation.

The check to detect a wrap of the MMIO generation explicitly looks for a
generation number of zero. Now that unique memslots generation numbers
are assigned to each address space, only address space 0 will get a
generation number of exactly zero when wrapping. E.g. when address
space 1 goes from 0x7fffe to 0x80002, the MMIO generation number will
wrap to 0x2. Adjust the MMIO generation to strip the address space
modifier prior to checking for a wrap.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound. x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.
Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots. Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

Tested:
Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch

Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch

process is within certain bounds.

Availability of the MOVDIR64B instruction is indicated by the presence
of the CPUID feature flag MOVDIR64B (CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 28]).
This patch exposes the movdir64b feature to the guest.
