Only after ipc_addid() has succeeded will refcounting be used, so move
initialization into ipc_addid() and remove from open-coded *_alloc()
routines.

Loosely based on a patch from Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>:
- id and retval can be merged
- if ipc_addid() fails, then use call_rcu() directly.
The difference is that call_rcu is used for failed ipc_addid() calls, to
continue to guaranteed an rcu delay for security_sem_free().

Instead of using ipc_rcu_alloc() which only performs the refcount bump,
open code it to perform better sem-specific checks. This also allows

ipc has two management structures that exist for every id:
- struct kern_ipc_perm, it contains e.g. the permissions.
- struct ipc_rcu, it contains the rcu head for rcu handling and the
refcount.
The patch merges both structures.
As a bonus, we may save one cacheline, because both structures are
cacheline aligned. In addition, it reduces the number of casts, instead
most codepaths can use container_of.
To simplify code, the ipc_rcu_alloc initializes the allocation to 0.

- Alignment for struct sem only works by chance.

sysv sem has two lock modes: One with per-semaphore locks, one lock mode
with a single global lock for the whole array. When switching from the
per-semaphore locks to the global lock, all per-semaphore locks must be
scanned for ongoing operations.
The patch adds a hysteresis for switching from the global lock to the
per semaphore locks. This reduces how often the per-semaphore locks
must be scanned.
Compared to the initial patch, this is a simplified solution: Setting
USE_GLOBAL_LOCK_HYSTERESIS to 1 restores the current behavior.
In theory, a workload with exactly 10 simple sops and then one complex
op now scales a bit worse, but this is pure theory: If there is
concurrency, the it won't be exactly 10:1:10:1:10:1:... If there is no
concurrency, then there is no need for scalability.

a) The ACQUIRE in spin_lock() applies to the read, not to the store, at
least for powerpc. This forces to add a smp_mb() into the fast path.
b) The memory barrier provided by spin_unlock_wait() is right now arch
dependent.
Therefore: Use spin_lock()/spin_unlock() instead of spin_unlock_wait().
Advantage: faster single op semop calls(), observed +8.9% on x86. (the
other solution would be arch dependencies in ipc/sem).
Disadvantage: slower complex op semop calls, if (and only if) there are
no sleeping operations.
The next patch adds hysteresis, this further reduces the probability
that the slow path is used.

Based on the syzcaller test case from dvyukov:
08d0a261fe/gistfile1.txt
The slow (i.e.: failure to acquire) syscall exit from semtimedop()
incorrectly assumed that the the same lock is acquired as it was at the
initial syscall entry.
This is wrong:
- thread A: single semop semop(), sleeps
- thread B: multi semop semop(), sleeps
- thread A: woken up by signal/timeout
With this sequence, the initial sem_lock() call locks the per-semaphore
spinlock, and it is unlocked with sem_unlock(). The call at the syscall
return locks the global spinlock. Because locknum is not updated, the
following sem_unlock() call unlocks the per-semaphore spinlock, which is
actually not locked.
The fix is trivial: Use the return value from sem_lock.

We can avoid the idr tree lookup (albeit possibly avoiding

change in this context while blocked. Use the sma pointer directly and
take the sem_lock, then re-check for RMID races. We continue to
re-check the queue.status with the lock held such that we can detect
situations where we where are dealing with a spurious wakeup but another
task that holds the sem_lock updated the queue.status while we were
spinning for it. Once we take the lock it obviously won't change again.
Being the only caller, get rid of sem_obtain_lock() altogether.

This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that
the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on
not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice
(setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and
particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is
detected that the caller must block or has errored-out.
With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot
of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in
shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop
and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock
holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero
operation.
This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is
read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know
that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of
dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use
perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now.
Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a
32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on.
In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a
while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c79 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process
out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold
times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like
all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages:
o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code.
o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add()
grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event,
between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with
sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process().
o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption.
In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must
acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring
during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics
that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we
know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop
call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in

and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is
executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which
in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises

Commit 6d07b68ce1 ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a
race:
sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations.
There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel:
- a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held)
- a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0)
As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current
checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details
(or kernel bugzilla 105651).
The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode)
that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible.
The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking.
With regards to stable kernels:
The patch is required for all kernels that include the
commit 6d07b68ce1 ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?)
The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race.
The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions
about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait().
Background:
Here is the race of the current implementation:
Thread A: (simple op)
- does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test
Thread B: (complex op)
- does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't
find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet.
- the thread does the operation, increases complex_count,
drops sem_lock, sleeps
Thread A:
- spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock)
- sleeps before the complex_count test
Thread C: (complex op)
- does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1)
- wakes up Thread B.
- decrements complex_count
Thread A:
- does the complex_count test
Bug:
Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without
any synchronization.

As indicated by bug#112271, Linux sets the sempid value upon semctl, and
not only for semop calls. However, within semctl we only do this for
SETVAL, leaving SETALL without updating the field, and therefore rather
inconsistent behavior when compared to other Unices.
There is really no documentation regarding this and therefore users
should not make assumptions. With this patch, along with updating
semctl.2 manpages, this scenario should become less ambiguous As such,
set sempid on SETALL cmd.
Also update some in-code documentation, specifying where the sempid is
set.
Passes ltp and custom testcase where a child (fork) does SETALL to the
set.

sem_lock() did not properly pair memory barriers:
!spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() are both only control barriers.
The code needs an acquire barrier, otherwise the cpu might perform read
operations before the lock test.
As no primitive exists inside <include/spinlock.h> and since it seems
noone wants another primitive, the code creates a local primitive within
ipc/sem.c.
With regards to -stable:
The change of sem_wait_array() is a bugfix, the change to sem_lock() is a
nop (just a preprocessor redefinition to improve the readability). The
bugfix is necessary for all kernels that use sem_wait_array() (i.e.:
starting from 3.10).

When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than
necessary. Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb().
And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster.
The race we must protect against is:
sem->lock is free
sma->complex_count = 0
sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B
thread A:
A: spin_lock(&sem->lock)
B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1)
B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: XXXXX memory barrier
A: if (sma->complex_count == 0)
Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must
not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked().
Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient.

ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone. New objects
start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization
after the call. Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and
sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach
doesn't work.
Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.

The actual Linux implementation for semctl(GETNCNT) and semctl(GETZCNT)
always (since 0.99.10) reported a thread as sleeping on all semaphores
that are listed in the semop() call.
The documented behavior (both in the Linux man page and in the Single
Unix Specification) is that a task should be reported on exactly one
semaphore: The semaphore that caused the thread to got to sleep.
This patch adds a pr_info_once() that is triggered if a thread hits the
relevant case.
The code triggers slightly too often, otherwise it would be necessary to
replicate the old code. As there are no known users of GETNCNT or
GETZCNT, this is done to prevent unnecessary bloat.
The task that triggered is reported with name (tsk->comm) and pid.

SUSv4 clearly defines how semncnt and semzcnt must be calculated: A task
waits on exactly one semaphore: The semaphore from the first operation
in the sop array that cannot proceed.
The Linux implementation never followed the standard, it tried to count
all semaphores that might be the reason why a task sleeps.
This patch fixes that.
Note:
a) The implementation assumes that GETNCNT and GETZCNT are rare operations,
therefore the code counts them only on demand.
(If they wouldn't be rare, then the non-compliance would have
been found earlier)
b) compared to the initial version of the patch, the BUG_ONs were removed
and it was clarified that the new behavior conforms to SUS.
Back-compatibility concerns:
Manfred:
: - there is no application in Fedora that uses GETNCNT or GETZCNT.
:
: - application that use only single-sop semop() are also safe, the
: difference only affects complex apps.
:
: - portable application are also safe, the new behavior is standard
: compliant.
:
: But that's it. The old behavior existed in Linux from 0.99.something
: until now.
Michael:
: * These operations seem to be very little used. Grepping the public
: source that is contained Fedora 20 source DVD, there appear to be no
: uses. Of course, this says nothing about uses in private /
: non-mainstream FOSS code, but it seems likely that the same pattern
: is followed there.
:
: * The existing behavior is hard enough to understand that I suspect
: that no one understood it well enough to rely on it anyway
: (especially as that behavior contradicted both man page and POSIX).
:
: So, there's a chance of breakage, but I estimate that it's minute.

spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the

This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope

When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check
for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored
immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value.
The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more
operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have
different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO
flag. For example:
struct sembuf depositor_op[1];
struct sembuf collector_op[2];
depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0;
depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000;
depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0;
collector_op[0].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
collector_op[1].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; }
return 0;
It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd
collector operation.

After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.
- semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
should be ok: all lists are empty)
- semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
access memory after free.
The patch also:
- standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
function leave the function with the same approach.
- unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
tested twice.
Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").
The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.
