close_range(): fix the logics in descriptor table trimming
Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently opened files. That's fine for clone() and unshare(), but for close_range() there's an additional twist - we clone before we close, and it would be a shame to have close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE) leave us with a huge descriptor table when we are not going to keep anything past stderr, just because some large file descriptor used to be open before our call has taken it out. Unfortunately, it had been dealt with in an inherently racy way - sane_fdtable_size() gets a "don't copy anything past that" argument (passed via unshare_fd() and dup_fd()), close_range() decides how much should be trimmed and passes that to unshare_fd(). The problem is, a range that used to extend to the end of descriptor table back when close_range() had looked at it might very well have stuff grown after it by the time dup_fd() has allocated a new files_struct and started to figure out the capacity of fdtable to be attached to that. That leads to interesting pathological cases; at the very least it's a QoI issue, since unshare(CLONE_FILES) is atomic in a sense that it takes a snapshot of descriptor table one might have observed at some point. Since CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE close_range() is supposed to be a combination of unshare(CLONE_FILES) with plain close_range(), ending up with a weird state that would never occur with unshare(2) is confusing, to put it mildly. It's not hard to get rid of - all it takes is passing both ends of the range down to sane_fdtable_size(). There we are under ->files_lock, so the race is trivially avoided. So we do the following: * switch close_files() from calling unshare_fd() to calling dup_fd(). * undo the calling convention change done to unshare_fd() in |

ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are: "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification. "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes - mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications. "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No functional changes - code cleanups only. "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a little cleanup. "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and simplifications and .text shrinkage. "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel Butt.

The problem is that uprobe_clear_state() kfree's struct xol_area, which
contains struct vm_special_mapping *xol_mapping. This one is passed to
_install_special_mapping() in xol_add_vma().
__mput reads:
static inline void __mmput(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users));
uprobe_clear_state(mm);
exit_aio(mm);
ksm_exit(mm);
khugepaged_exit(mm); /* must run before exit_mmap */
exit_mmap(mm);
...
}
So uprobe_clear_state() in the beginning free's the memory area
containing the vm_special_mapping data, but exit_mmap() uses this
address later via vma->vm_private_data (which was set in
_install_special_mapping().
Fix this by moving uprobe_clear_state() to uprobes.c and use it as
close() callback.

mm: turn USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS / USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS into Kconfig options
Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications". This series is a follow up to the fixes: "[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking" When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks). Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident. As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should always be disabled (!SMP). Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks are still getting used where we would expect them. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options. More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.

pidfd: prevent creation of pidfds for kthreads
It's currently possible to create pidfds for kthreads but it is unclear
what that is supposed to mean. Until we have use-cases for it and we
figured out what behavior we want block the creation of pidfds for
kthreads.

x86/split_lock: Move Split and Bus lock code to a dedicated file
Bus Lock Detect functionality on AMD platforms works identical to Intel. Move split_lock and bus_lock specific code from intel.c to a dedicated file so that it can be compiled and supported on non-Intel platforms. Also, introduce CONFIG_X86_BUS_LOCK_DETECT, make it dependent on CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL and add compilation dependency of the new bus_lock.c file on CONFIG_X86_BUS_LOCK_DETECT.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macro
When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those that already implement it. Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older syscalls that are no longer provided by default. Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an __ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 from all the other ones.

sched: Allow sched_cgroup_fork() to fail and introduce sched_cancel_fork()
A new BPF extensible sched_class will need more control over the forking process. It wants to be able to fail from sched_cgroup_fork() after the new task's sched_task_group is initialized so that the loaded BPF program can prepare the task with its cgroup association is established and reject fork if e.g. allocation fails. Allow sched_cgroup_fork() to fail by making it return int instead of void and adding sched_cancel_fork() to undo sched_fork() in the error path. sched_cgroup_fork() doesn't fail yet and this patch shouldn't cause any behavior changes. v2: Patch description updated to detail the expected use.

kunit: test: Add vm_mmap() allocation resource manager
For tests that need to allocate using vm_mmap() (e.g. usercopy and execve), provide the interface to have the allocation tracked by KUnit itself. This requires bringing up a placeholder userspace mm. This combines my earlier attempt at this with Mark Rutland's version[1]. Normally alloc_mm() and arch_pick_mmap_layout() aren't exported for modules, so export these only for KUnit testing.

fs: don't block i_writecount during exec
Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this. Here are some of the notes that I took: (1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable, then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this. (2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism. I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]). An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a _privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used to take over the host. (It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.) The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example, when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into executing itself. This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this could be replaced with an executable script specifying the interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe. As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the runC binary on the host. However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now, one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't. To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways: * Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used to attack other containers or the host itself. * Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing (which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting that binary. To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder. That's all. The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC) was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed, in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk binary. Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to this will also fail. The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these attacks. (3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an additional hook but that should be about it. (4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries. (5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means: (5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years. (5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec completed treating it on a par with shared libraries. Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's actually the case and not guess. Link: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22315 [1] Link: |

hugetlb_dup_vma_private() and hugetlb_vm_op_open() are called outside
i_mmap_rwsem lock while vma lock can be used in the same time. Fix this
by deferring linking file vma until vma is fully initialized. Those vmas
should be initialized first before they can be used.

There was no technical reason for this. We simply had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that need support for this. This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific thread. In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before. A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that refers to a thread-group leader: (1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified when the task has exited. For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the thread-group exits. For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the thread exits. (2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does. Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does. The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type of the pidfd. Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to pidfd_send_signal(): - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD Send a thread-specific signal. - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP Send a thread-group directed signal. - PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP Send a process-group directed signal. The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually used for this scope. For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be used as a process group leader. - Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by inode number which are unique for the system lifetime. Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds. Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs. The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location, an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open(). The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location. If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the same namespace or task are then able to reuse it. - Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited, i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying userspace with EPOLLHUP. - Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead of the confusing EBADF. - Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions. * tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (23 commits) libfs: improve path_from_stashed() libfs: add stashed_dentry_prune() libfs: improve path_from_stashed() helper pidfs: convert to path_from_stashed() helper nsfs: convert to path_from_stashed() helper libfs: add path_from_stashed() pidfd: add pidfs pidfd: move struct pidfd_fops pidfd: allow to override signal scope in pidfd_send_signal() pidfd: change pidfd_send_signal() to respect PIDFD_THREAD signal: fill in si_code in prepare_kill_siginfo() selftests: add ESRCH tests for pidfd_getfd() pidfd: getfd should always report ESRCH if a task is exiting pidfd: clone: allow CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PIDFD together pidfd: exit: kill the no longer used thread_group_exited() pidfd: change do_notify_pidfd() to use __wake_up(poll_to_key(EPOLLIN)) pid: kill the obsolete PIDTYPE_PID code in transfer_pid() pidfd: kill the no longer needed do_notify_pidfd() in de_thread() pidfd_poll: report POLLHUP when pid_task() == NULL pidfd: implement PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open() ... |

pidfd: add pidfs
This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

rcu-tasks: Initialize data to eliminate RCU-tasks/do_exit() deadlocks
Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop() results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce. In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time (for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could just as well take advantage of that fact. This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

pidfd: change pidfd_send_signal() to respect PIDFD_THREAD
Turn kill_pid_info() into kill_pid_info_type(), this allows to pass any pid_type to group_send_sig_info(), despite its name it should work fine even if type = PIDTYPE_PID. Change pidfd_send_signal() to use PIDTYPE_PID or PIDTYPE_TGID depending on PIDFD_THREAD. While at it kill another TODO comment in pidfd_show_fdinfo(). As Christian expains fdinfo reports f_flags, userspace can already detect PIDFD_THREAD.

pidfd: implement PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open()
With this flag: - pidfd_open() doesn't require that the target task must be a thread-group leader - pidfd_poll() succeeds when the task exits and becomes a zombie (iow, passes exit_notify()), even if it is a leader and thread-group is not empty. This means that the behaviour of pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD, pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined if it races with exec() from its sub-thread; pidfd_poll() can succeed or not depending on whether pidfd_task_exited() is called before or after exchange_tids(). Perhaps we can improve this behaviour later, pidfd_poll() can probably take sig->group_exec_task into account. But this doesn't really differ from the case when the leader exits before other threads (so pidfd_poll() succeeds) and then another thread execs and pidfd_poll() will block again. thread_group_exited() is no longer used, perhaps it can die.

pidfd: cleanup the usage of __pidfd_prepare's flags
- make pidfd_create() static. - Don't pass O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC to __pidfd_prepare() in copy_process(), __pidfd_prepare() adds these flags unconditionally. - Kill the flags check in __pidfd_prepare(). sys_pidfd_open() checks the flags itself, all other users of pidfd_prepare() pass flags = 0. If we need a sanity check for those other in kernel users then WARN_ON_ONCE(flags & ~PIDFD_NONBLOCK) makes more sense. - Don't pass O_RDWR to get_unused_fd_flags(), it ignores everything except O_CLOEXEC. - Don't pass O_CLOEXEC to anon_inode_getfile(), it ignores everything except O_ACCMODE | O_NONBLOCK.

iommu: Change kconfig around IOMMU_SVA
Linus suggested that the kconfig here is confusing: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgUiAtiszwseM1p2fCJ+sC4XWQ+YN4TanFhUgvUqjr9Xw@mail.gmail.com/ Let's break it into three kconfigs controlling distinct things: - CONFIG_IOMMU_MM_DATA controls if the mm_struct has the additional fields for the IOMMU. Currently only PASID, but later patches store a struct iommu_mm_data * - CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID controls if the arch needs the scheduling bit for keeping track of the ENQCMD instruction. x86 will select this if IOMMU_SVA is enabled - IOMMU_SVA controls if the IOMMU core compiles in the SVA support code for iommu driver use and the IOMMU exported API This way ARM will not enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231027000525.1278806-2-tina.zhang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> |

Patch series "Remove unused code after IA-64 removal".
While looking into something different I noticed that there are a couple
of Kconfig options which were only selected by IA-64 and which are now
unused.
So remove them and simplify the code a bit.
This patch (of 3):

fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()
In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple tree, so it is efficient. The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element, this process is also O(n). Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node, pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n). As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap() fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds, corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% [1] https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/tree/master Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-11-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Peng Zhang <zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com> Suggested-by: Liam R.

file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall but it might actually be worth doing. The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this exists. With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference. In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu(). In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file. With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable. Failing to do either one of this is a bug. Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable
Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4. The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following about F_SEAL_WRITE:- Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM. With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate. This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug report [2]. This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable. It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any point be written to. If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE. We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful consideration of error paths. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion! [1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/ [2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 This patch (of 3): There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the case. Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable field to explicitly test for this by introducing [vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions. This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees that the VMA cannot be written to.

mm: add a NO_INHERIT flag to the PR_SET_MDWE prctl
This extends the current PR_SET_MDWE prctl arg with a bit to indicate that the process doesn't want MDWE protection to propagate to children. To implement this no-inherit mode, the tag in current->mm->flags must be absent from MMF_INIT_MASK. This means that the encoding for "MDWE but without inherit" is different in the prctl than in the mm flags. This leads to a bit of bit-mangling in the prctl implementation.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

A trivial execve scalability test which tries to be very friendly (statically linked binaries, all separate) is predominantly bottlenecked by back-to-back per-cpu counter allocations which serialize on global locks. Ease the pain by allocating and freeing them in one go. Bench can be found here: http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c $ cc -static -O2 -o static-doexec doexec.c $ ./static-doexec $(nproc) Even at a very modest scale of 26 cores (ops/s): before: 133543.63 after: 186061.81 (+39%) While with the patch these allocations remain a significant problem, the primary bottleneck shifts to page release handling.

kernel/fork: beware of __put_task_struct() calling context
Under PREEMPT_RT, __put_task_struct() indirectly acquires sleeping locks. Therefore, it can't be called from an non-preemptible context. One practical example is splat inside inactive_task_timer(), which is called in a interrupt context: CPU: 1 PID: 2848 Comm: life Kdump: loaded Tainted: G W --------- Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL388p Gen8, BIOS P70 07/15/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x57/0x7d mark_lock_irq.cold+0x33/0xba mark_lock+0x1e7/0x400 mark_usage+0x11d/0x140 __lock_acquire+0x30d/0x930 lock_acquire.part.0+0x9c/0x210 rt_spin_lock+0x27/0xe0 refill_obj_stock+0x3d/0x3a0 kmem_cache_free+0x357/0x560 inactive_task_timer+0x1ad/0x340 __run_hrtimer+0x8a/0x1a0 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x91/0x130 hrtimer_interrupt+0x10f/0x220 __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x7b/0xd0 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x4f/0xd0 asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20 RIP: 0033:0x7fff196bf6f5 Instead of calling __put_task_struct() directly, we defer it using call_rcu(). A more natural approach would use a workqueue, but since in PREEMPT_RT, we can't allocate dynamic memory from atomic context, the code would become more complex because we would need to put the work_struct instance in the task_struct and initialize it when we allocate a new task_struct. The issue is reproducible with stress-ng: while true; do stress-ng --sched deadline --sched-period 1000000000 \ --sched-runtime 800000000 --sched-deadline \ 1000000000 --mmapfork 23 -t 20 done Reported-by: Hu Chunyu <chuhu@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Wander Lairson Costa <wander@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230614122323.37957-2-wander@redhat.com |

fork: lock VMAs of the parent process when forking
When forking a child process, the parent write-protects anonymous pages
and COW-shares them with the child being forked using copy_present_pte().
We must not take any concurrent page faults on the source vma's as they
are being processed, as we expect both the vma and the pte's behind it
to be stable. For example, the anon_vma_fork() expects the parents
vma->anon_vma to not change during the vma copy.
A concurrent page fault on a page newly marked read-only by the page
copy might trigger wp_page_copy() and a anon_vma_prepare(vma) on the
source vma, defeating the anon_vma_clone() that wasn't done because the
parent vma originally didn't have an anon_vma, but we now might end up
copying a pte entry for a page that has one.
Before the per-vma lock based changes, the mmap_lock guaranteed
exclusion with concurrent page faults. But now we need to do a
vma_start_write() to make sure no concurrent faults happen on this vma
while it is being processed.
This fix can potentially regress some fork-heavy workloads. Kernel
build time did not show noticeable regression on a 56-core machine while
a stress test mapping 10000 VMAs and forking 5000 times in a tight loop
shows ~5% regression. If such fork time regression is unacceptable,
disabling CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK should restore its performance. Further
optimizations are possible if this regression proves to be problematic.

bpf: Fix UAF in task local storage
When task local storage was generalized for tracing programs, the
bpf_task_local_storage callback was moved from a BPF LSM hook
callback for security_task_free LSM hook to it's own callback. But a
failure case in bad_fork_cleanup_security was missed which, when
triggered, led to a dangling task owner pointer and a subsequent
use-after-free. Move the bpf_task_storage_free to the very end of
free_task to handle all failure cases.
This issue was noticed when a BPF LSM program was attached to the
task_alloc hook on a kernel with KASAN enabled. The program used
bpf_task_storage_get to copy the task local storage from the current
task to the new task being created.

fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression
When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.
To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.
This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.
Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.
Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.
The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit. This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.
For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.
Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.
Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.

tracing updates for 6.4:
- User events are finally ready! After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZEr36xQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6quZHAQCzuqnn2S8DsPd3Sy1vKIYaj0uajW5D Kz1oUJH4F0H7kgEA8XwXkdtfKpOXWc/ZH4LWfL7Orx2wJZJQMV9dVqEPDAE= =w0Z1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - User events are finally ready!

Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace process they were created from providing stronger security and accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach ever could've hoped for. The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a userspace process is generally useful. The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api. The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created. Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition, providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used. So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers: - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags. - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields allowing to indicate to copy_process(): - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER) - to not inherit any files from the userspace process - to ignore signals After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.

sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid
Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.
Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.
Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.
Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.
Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.
Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

sched/numa: apply the scan delay to every new vma
Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3. The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3]. Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1) Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better. During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning overhead. V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes) Summary of patchset: Current patchset implements: 1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks (implementation by Mel) 2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval. The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data 3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information 4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks which had not accessed VMA Changes since V2: patch1: - Renaming of structure, macro to function, - Add explanation to heuristics - Adding more details from result (PeterZ) Patch2: - Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ) - Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep() - Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan (PeterZ) Patch3: - Maintain two windows of access PID information (PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend to N if needed) Patch4: - Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ) Changes since RFC V1: - Include Mel's vma scan delay patch - Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel) - Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel) - Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel) - Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport) Things to ponder over: ========================================== - Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history) - Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve results further.

mm: separate vma->lock from vm_area_struct
vma->lock being part of the vm_area_struct causes performance regression during page faults because during contention its count and owner fields are constantly updated and having other parts of vm_area_struct used during page fault handling next to them causes constant cache line bouncing. Fix that by moving the lock outside of the vm_area_struct. All attempts to keep vma->lock inside vm_area_struct in a separate cache line still produce performance regression especially on NUMA machines. Smallest regression was achieved when lock is placed in the fourth cache line but that bloats vm_area_struct to 256 bytes. Considering performance and memory impact, separate lock looks like the best option. It increases memory footprint of each VMA but that can be optimized later if the new size causes issues. Note that after this change vma_init() does not allocate or initialize vma->lock anymore. A number of drivers allocate a pseudo VMA on the stack but they never use the VMA's lock, therefore it does not need to be allocated. The future drivers which might need the VMA lock should use vm_area_alloc()/vm_area_free() to allocate the VMA.

mm/mmap: free vm_area_struct without call_rcu in exit_mmap
call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when multiple VMAs are being freed. Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without the use of call_rcu(). Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control it
Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking: - read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma (vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ. If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere. - read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock unlock. - write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter. This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified under exclusive vma lock. - write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm sequence counter (mm_lock_seq). - write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write unlock).

mm: rcu safe VMA freeing
This prepares for page faults handling under VMA lock, looking up VMAs under protection of an rcu read lock, instead of the usual mmap read lock.

mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default
Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.
The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a
NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.
It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA
to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry
causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent
readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not
match the maple state they are using.
Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

pid: add pidfd_prepare()
Add a new helper that allows to reserve a pidfd and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to remove places that either open code this function or that call pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.

tracing/user_events: Track fork/exec/exit for mm lifetime
During tracefs discussions it was decided instead of requiring a mapping within a user-process to track the lifetime of memory descriptors we should hook the appropriate calls. Do this by adding the minimal stubs required for task fork, exec, and exit. Currently this is just a NOP. Future patches will implement these calls fully.

lazy tlb: shoot lazies, non-refcounting lazy tlb mm reference handling scheme
On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not viable. Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches zero. The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm. A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there are no references remaining before the mm is freed. Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to reduce them if necessary, described in comments. The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale: context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2)) This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread switching.
