- 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.

livepatch: Replace the fake signal sending with TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL infrastructure
Add the missing TRAP_PERF case in siginfo_layout() for interpreting the
layout correctly as SIL_PERF_EVENT instead of just SIL_FAULT. This
ensures the si_perf field is copied and not just the si_addr field.
This was caught and tested by running the perf_events/sigtrap_threads
kselftest as a 32-bit binary with a 64-bit kernel.

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.

Right now we're never calling get_signal() from PF_IO_WORKER threads, but
in preparation for doing so, don't handle a fatal signal for them. The
workers have state they need to cleanup when exiting, so just return
instead of calling do_exit() on their behalf. The threads themselves will
detect a fatal signal and do proper shutdown.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Just like we don't allow normal signals to IO threads, don't deliver a
STOP to a task that has PF_IO_WORKER set. The IO threads don't take
signals in general, and have no means of flushing out a stop either.
Longer term, we may want to look into allowing stop of these threads,
as it relates to eg process freezing. For now, this prevents a spin
issue if a SIGSTOP is delivered to the parent task.

They don't take signals individually, and even if they share signals with

thread. Linux does allow this kind of behavior for regular threads, but
it's really a compatability thing that we need not care about for the IO
threads.

Song reported a boot regression in a kvm image with 5.11-rc, and bisected
it down to the below patch. Debugging this issue, turns out that the boot
stalled when a task is waiting on a pipe being released. As we no longer
run task_work from get_signal() unless it's queued with TWA_SIGNAL, the
task goes idle without running the task_work. This prevents ->release()
from being called on the pipe, which another boot task is waiting on.
For now, re-instate the unconditional task_work run from get_signal().
For 5.12, we'll collapse TWA_RESUME and TWA_SIGNAL, as it no longer
makes sense to have a distinction between the two. This will turn
task_work notification into a simple boolean, whether to notify or not.

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"

Architectures that support address tagging, such as arm64, may want to
expose fault address tag bits to the signal handler to help diagnose
memory errors. However, these bits have not been previously set,
and their presence may confuse unaware user applications. Therefore,
introduce a SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag bit in sa_flags that a signal
handler may use to explicitly request that the bits are set.
The generic signal handler APIs expect to receive tagged addresses.
Architectures may specify how to untag addresses in the case where
SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS is clear by defining the arch_untagged_si_addr
function.

Define a sa_flags bit, SA_UNSUPPORTED, which will never be supported
in the uapi. The purpose of this flag bit is to allow userspace to
distinguish an old kernel that does not clear unknown sa_flags bits
from a kernel that supports every flag bit.
In other words, if userspace does something like:
act.sa_flags |= SA_UNSUPPORTED;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, 0);
sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0, &oldact);
and finds that SA_UNSUPPORTED remains set in oldact.sa_flags, it means
that the kernel cannot be trusted to have cleared unknown flag bits
from sa_flags, so no assumptions about flag bit support can be made.

Previously we were not clearing non-uapi flag bits in
sigaction.sa_flags when storing the userspace-provided sa_flags or
when returning them via oldact. Start doing so.
This allows userspace to detect missing support for flag bits and
allows the kernel to use non-uapi bits internally, as we are already
doing in arch/x86 for two flag bits. Now that this change is in
place, we no longer need the code in arch/x86 that was hiding these
bits from userspace, so remove it.
This is technically a userspace-visible behavior change for sigaction, as
the unknown bits returned via oldact.sa_flags are no longer set. However,
we are free to define the behavior for unknown bits exactly because
their behavior is currently undefined, so for now we can define the
meaning of each of them to be "clear the bit in oldact.sa_flags unless
the bit becomes known in the future". Furthermore, this behavior is
consistent with OpenBSD [1], illumos [2] and XNU [3] (FreeBSD [4] and
NetBSD [5] fail the syscall if unknown bits are set). So there is some
precedent for this behavior in other kernels, and in particular in XNU,
which is probably the most popular kernel among those that I looked at,
which means that this change is less likely to be a compatibility issue.

fails and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(!signr) in do_jobctl_trap().
This is because task_join_group_stop() has 2 problems when current is traced:
1. We can't rely on the "JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING" check, a stopped tracee
can be woken up by debugger and it can clone another thread which
should join the group-stop.
We need to check group_stop_count || SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED.
2. If SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED is already set, we should not increment
sig->group_stop_count and add JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME. The new thread
should stop without another do_notify_parent_cldstop() report.
To clarify, the problem is very old and we should blame
ptrace_init_task(). But now that we have task_join_group_stop() it makes
more sense to fix this helper to avoid the code duplication.

Add TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling in the generic entry code, which if set,
will return true if signal_pending() is used in a wait loop. That causes an
exit of the loop so that notify_signal tracehooks can be run. If the wait
loop is currently inside a system call, the system call is restarted once
task_work has been processed.
In preparation for only having arch_do_signal() handle syscall restarts if
_TIF_SIGPENDING isn't set, rename it to arch_do_signal_or_restart(). Pass
in a boolean that tells the architecture specific signal handler if it
should attempt to get a signal, or just process a potential syscall
restart.
For !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY archs, add the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling to
get_signal(). This is done to minimize the needed architecture changes to
support this feature.

This is in preparation for maintaining signal_pending() as the decider of
whether or not a schedule() loop should be broken, or continue sleeping.
This is different than the core signal use cases, which really need to know
whether an actual signal is pending or not. task_sigpending() returns
non-zero if TIF_SIGPENDING is set.
Only core kernel use cases should care about the distinction between
the two, make sure those use the task_sigpending() helper.

If JOBCTL_TASK_WORK is already set on the targeted task, then we need
not go through {lock,unlock}_task_sighand() to set it again and queue
a signal wakeup. This is safe as we're checking it _after_ adding the
new task_work with cmpxchg().
The ordering is as follows:
task_work_add() get_signal()
--------------------------------------------------------------
STORE(task->task_works, new_work); STORE(task->jobctl);
mb(); mb();
LOAD(task->jobctl); LOAD(task->task_works);
This speeds up TWA_SIGNAL handling quite a bit, which is important now
that io_uring is relying on it for all task_work deliveries.

So that the target task will exit the wait_event_interruptible-like
loop and call task_work_run() asap.
The patch turns "bool notify" into 0,TWA_RESUME,TWA_SIGNAL enum, the
new TWA_SIGNAL flag implies signal_wake_up(). However, it needs to
avoid the race with recalc_sigpending(), so the patch also adds the
new JOBCTL_TASK_WORK bit included in JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK.
TODO: once this patch is merged we need to change all current users
of task_work_add(notify = true) to use TWA_RESUME.

Factor out a copy_siginfo_to_external32 helper from
copy_siginfo_to_user32 that fills out the compat_siginfo, but does so
on a kernel space data structure. With that we can let architectures
override copy_siginfo_to_user32 with their own implementations using
copy_siginfo_to_external32. That allows moving the x32 SIGCHLD purely
to x86 architecture code.
As a nice side effect copy_siginfo_to_external32 also comes in handy
for avoiding a set_fs() call in the coredump code later on.

The immediate problem is as Christof noticed that "pid_alive(current) == false".
This happens because do_notify_parent is called from the last thread to exit
in a process after that thread has been reaped.
The bigger issue is that do_notify_parent can be called from any
process that manages to wait on a thread of a multi-threaded process
from wait_task_zombie. So any logic based upon current for
do_notify_parent is just nonsense, as current can be pretty much
anything.
So change do_notify_parent to call __send_signal directly.
Inspecting the code it appears this problem has existed since the pid
namespace support started handling this case in 2.6.30. This fix only
backports to 7a0cf09494 ("signal: Correct namespace fixups of si_pid and si_uid")
where the problem logic was moved out of __send_signal and into send_signal.

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
"This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
exec.
Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
mount of proc to move forward.
The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible
to wrap the exec_id counter. With care an attacker can cause exec_id
wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent. This
bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their
credentials during exec.
The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing
of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times.
Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit
exec_id. Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7
days. Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server.
Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec
gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump.
Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit
architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can
take two read instructions. Which means that is is possible to hit
a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written
value. So with very lucky timing after this change this still
remains expoiltable.
I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE
and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE
to make it clear that there is no locking between these two
locations.

When queueing a signal, we increment both the users count of pending
signals (for RLIMIT_SIGPENDING tracking) and we increment the refcount
of the user struct itself (because we keep a reference to the user in
the signal structure in order to correctly account for it when freeing).
That turns out to be fairly expensive, because both of them are atomic
updates, and particularly under extreme signal handling pressure on big
machines, you can get a lot of cache contention on the user struct.
That can then cause horrid cacheline ping-pong when you do these
multiple accesses.
So change the reference counting to only pin the user for the _first_
pending signal, and to unpin it when the last pending signal is
dequeued. That means that when a user sees a lot of concurrent signal
queuing - which is the only situation when this matters - the only
atomic access needed is generally the 'sigpending' count update.
This was noticed because of a particularly odd timing artifact on a
dual-socket 96C/192T Cascade Lake platform: when you get into bad
contention, on that machine for some reason seems to be much worse when
the contention happens in the upper 32-byte half of the cacheline.
As a result, the kernel test robot will-it-scale 'signal1' benchmark had
an odd performance regression simply due to random alignment of the
'struct user_struct' (and pointed to a completely unrelated and
apparently nonsensical commit for the regression).
Avoiding the double increments (and decrements on the dequeueing side,
of course) makes for much less contention and hugely improved
performance on that will-it-scale microbenchmark.
Quoting Feng Tang:
"It makes a big difference, that the performance score is tripled! bump
from original 17000 to 54000. Also the gap between 5.0-rc6 and
5.0-rc6+Jiri's patch is reduced to around 2%"
[ The "2% gap" is the odd cacheline placement difference on that
platform: under the extreme contention case, the effect of which half
of the cacheline was hot was 5%, so with the reduced contention the
odd timing artifact is reduced too ]
It does help in the non-contended case too, but is not nearly as
noticeable.

Merge tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd/waitid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains two features and various tests.
First, it adds support for waiting on process through pidfds by adding
the P_PIDFD type to the waitid() syscall. This completes the basic
functionality of the pidfd api (cf. [1]). In the meantime we also have
a new adition to the userspace projects that make use of the pidfd
api. The qt project was nice enough to send a mail pointing out that
they have a pr up to switch to the pidfd api (cf. [2]).
Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make
it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner
(even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0
together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a
discussion on the glibc development mailing list.
There are also a range of tests for the features above. Additionally,
the test-suite which detected the pidfd-polling race we fixed in [3]
is included in this tag"

waitid: Add support for waiting for the current process group

pidfd: add pidfd_wait tests
pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()
My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events
wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd. I had overlooked
the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to
SIG_IGN. So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it
impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals.
Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code
was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig. As the way force_sig
ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal
handler to SIG_DFL. Which after the first signal will allow userspace
to send signals to these kernel threads. At least for
wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong.
So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow
signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through,
but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and
drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their
thread can receive this signal.
Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send
signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the
threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing
else in the system will be affected.
This change was partly inspired by similar cifs and drbd patches that
added allow_signal.

This adds the P_PIDFD type to waitid().
One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible
to wait on pidfds. With P_PIDFD added to waitid() the parts of userspace
that want to use the pidfd api to exclusively manage processes can do so
now.
One of the things this will unblock in the future is the ability to make
it possible to retrieve the exit status via waitid(P_PIDFD) for
non-parent processes if handed a _suitable_ pidfd that has this feature
set. This is similar to what you can do on FreeBSD with kqueue(). It
might even end up being possible to wait on a process as a non-parent if
an appropriate property is enabled on the pidfd.
With P_PIDFD no scoping of the process identified by the pidfd is
possible, i.e. it explicitly blocks things such as wait4(-1), wait4(0),
waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It only allows for semantics
equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users that need scoping should
rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.
