As of e78c3496790e ("time, signal: Protect resource use statistics
with seqlock") cpu_clock_sample_group no longers needs siglock
protection. Unfortunately no one realized it at the time.
Remove the extra locking that is for cpu_clock_sample_group and not
for cpu_clock_sample. This significantly simplifies the code.

There remains no more code in the kernel using pids_ns->proc_mnt,
therefore remove it from the kernel.
The big benefit of this change is that one of the most error prone and
tricky parts of the pid namespace implementation, maintaining kernel
mounts of proc is removed.
In addition removing the unnecessary complexity of the kernel mount
fixes a regression that caused the proc mount options to be ignored.
Now that the initial mount of proc comes from userspace, those mount
options are again honored. This fixes Android's usage of the proc
hidepid option.

This patch adds INET_DIAG support to bpf_sk_storage.
1. Although this series adds bpf_sk_storage diag capability to inet sk,
bpf_sk_storage is in general applicable to all fullsock. Hence, the
bpf_sk_storage logic will operate on SK_DIAG_* nlattr. The caller
will pass in its specific nesting nlattr (e.g. INET_DIAG_*) as
the argument.
2. The request will be like:
INET_DIAG_REQ_SK_BPF_STORAGES (nla_nest) (defined in latter patch)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD (nla_put_u32)
......
Considering there could have multiple bpf_sk_storages in a sk,
instead of reusing INET_DIAG_INFO ("ss -i"), the user can select
some specific bpf_sk_storage to dump by specifying an array of
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD.
If no SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD is specified (i.e. an empty
INET_DIAG_REQ_SK_BPF_STORAGES), it will dump all bpf_sk_storages
of a sk.
3. The reply will be like:
INET_DIAG_BPF_SK_STORAGES (nla_nest) (defined in latter patch)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE (nla_nest)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_ID (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_VALUE (nla_reserve_64bit)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE (nla_nest)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_ID (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_VALUE (nla_reserve_64bit)
......
4. Unlike other INET_DIAG info of a sk which is pretty static, the size
required to dump the bpf_sk_storage(s) of a sk is dynamic as the
system adding more bpf_sk_storage_map. It is hard to set a static
min_dump_alloc size.
Hence, this series learns it at the runtime and adjust the
cb->min_dump_alloc as it iterates all sk(s) of a system. The
"unsigned int *res_diag_size" in bpf_sk_storage_diag_put()
is for this purpose.
The next patch will update the cb->min_dump_alloc as it
iterates the sk(s).

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

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.

Depends on [n]: BLK_DEV_INITRD [=n]

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q->blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q->blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q->blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.

In the longer term, it might be possible to provide a atomic friendly

The LPM trie map cannot be used in contexts like perf, kprobes and tracing
as this map type dynamically allocates memory.
The memory allocation happens with a raw spinlock held which is a truly
spinning lock on a PREEMPT RT enabled kernel which disables preemption and
interrupts.
As RT does not allow memory allocation from such a section for various
reasons, convert the raw spinlock to a regular spinlock.
On a RT enabled kernel these locks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks
which provide the proper protection but keep the code preemptible.
On a non-RT kernel regular spinlocks map to raw spinlocks, i.e. this does
not cause any functional change.

PREEMPT_RT forbids certain operations like memory allocations (even with
GFP_ATOMIC) from atomic contexts. This is required because even with
GFP_ATOMIC the memory allocator calls into code pathes which acquire locks
with long held lock sections. To ensure the deterministic behaviour these
locks are regular spinlocks, which are converted to 'sleepable' spinlocks
on RT. The only true atomic contexts on an RT kernel are the low level
hardware handling, scheduling, low level interrupt handling, NMIs etc. None
of these contexts should ever do memory allocations.
As regular device interrupt handlers and soft interrupts are forced into
thread context, the existing code which does
spin_lock*(); alloc(GPF_ATOMIC); spin_unlock*();
just works.
In theory the BPF locks could be converted to regular spinlocks as well,
but the bucket locks and percpu_freelist locks can be taken from arbitrary
contexts (perf, kprobes, tracepoints) which are required to be atomic
contexts even on RT. These mechanisms require preallocated maps, so there
is no need to invoke memory allocations within the lock held sections.
BPF maps which need dynamic allocation are only used from (forced) thread
context on RT and can therefore use regular spinlocks which in turn allows
to invoke memory allocations from the lock held section.
To achieve this make the hash bucket lock a union of a raw and a regular
spinlock and initialize and lock/unlock either the raw spinlock for
preallocated maps or the regular variant for maps which require memory
allocations.
On a non RT kernel this distinction is neither possible nor required.
spinlock maps to raw_spinlock and the extra code and conditional is
optimized out by the compiler. No functional change.

The required protection is that the caller cannot be migrated to a
different CPU as these functions end up in places which take either a hash
bucket lock or might trigger a kprobe inside the memory allocator. Both
scenarios can lead to deadlocks. The deadlock prevention is per CPU by
incrementing a per CPU variable which temporarily blocks the invocation of
BPF programs from perf and kprobes.
Replace the open coded preempt_[dis|en]able and __this_cpu_[inc|dec] pairs

All of these cases are strictly of the form:
preempt_disable();
BPF_PROG_RUN(...);
preempt_enable();
Replace this with bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() which wraps BPF_PROG_RUN()
with:
migrate_disable();
BPF_PROG_RUN(...);
migrate_enable();
On non RT enabled kernels this maps to preempt_disable/enable() and on RT
enabled kernels this solely prevents migration, which is sufficient as
there is no requirement to prevent reentrancy to any BPF program from a
preempting task. The only requirement is that the program stays on the same
CPU.
Therefore, this is a trivially correct transformation.
The seccomp loop does not need protection over the loop. It only needs
protection per BPF filter program

pcpu_freelist_populate() is disabling interrupts and then iterates over the
possible CPUs. The reason why this disables interrupts is to silence
lockdep because the invoked ___pcpu_freelist_push() takes spin locks.
Neither the interrupt disabling nor the locking are required in this
function because it's called during initialization and the resulting map is
not yet visible to anything.
Split out the actual push assignement into an inline, call it from the loop
and remove the interrupt disable.

Aside of the general unsafety of run-time map allocation for
instrumentation type programs RT enabled kernels have another constraint:
The instrumentation programs are invoked with preemption disabled, but the
memory allocator spinlocks cannot be acquired in atomic context because
they are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on RT.
Therefore enforce map preallocation for these programs types when RT is
enabled.

The assumption that only programs attached to perf NMI events can deadlock
on memory allocators is wrong. Assume the following simplified callchain:
kmalloc() from regular non BPF context
cache empty
freelist empty
lock(zone->lock);
tracepoint or kprobe
BPF()
update_elem()
lock(bucket)
kmalloc()
cache empty
freelist empty
lock(zone->lock); <- DEADLOCK
There are other ways which do not involve locking to create wreckage:
kmalloc() from regular non BPF context
local_irq_save();
...
obj = slab_first();
kprobe()
BPF()
update_elem()
lock(bucket)
kmalloc()
local_irq_save();
...
obj = slab_first(); <- Same object as above ...
So preallocation _must_ be enforced for all variants of intrusive
instrumentation.
Unfortunately immediate enforcement would break backwards compatibility, so
for now such programs still are allowed to run, but a one time warning is
emitted in dmesg and the verifier emits a warning in the verifier log as
well so developers are made aware about this and can fix their programs
before the enforcement becomes mandatory.

Rework the flushing of proc to use a list of directory inodes that
need to be flushed.
The list is kept on struct pid not on struct task_struct, as there is
a fixed connection between proc inodes and pids but at least for the
case of de_thread the pid of a task_struct changes.
This removes the dependency on proc_mnt which allows for different
mounts of proc having different mount options even in the same pid
namespace and this allows for the removal of proc_mnt which will
trivially the first mount of proc to honor it's mount options.
This flushing remains an optimization. The functions
pid_delete_dentry and pid_revalidate ensure that ordinary dcache
management will not attempt to use dentries past the point their
respective task has died. When unused the shrinker will
eventually be able to remove these dentries.
There is a case in de_thread where proc_flush_pid can be
called early for a given pid. Which winds up being
safe (if suboptimal) as this is just an optiimization.
Only pid directories are put on the list as the other
per pid files are children of those directories and
d_invalidate on the directory will get them as well.
So that the pid can be used during flushing it's reference count is
taken in release_task and dropped in proc_flush_pid. Further the call
of proc_flush_pid is moved after the tasklist_lock is released in
release_task so that it is certain that the pid has already been
unhashed when flushing it taking place. This removes a small race
where a dentry could recreated.
As struct pid is supposed to be small and I need a per pid lock
I reuse the only lock that currently exists in struct pid the
the wait_pidfd.lock.
The net result is that this adds all of this functionality
with just a little extra list management overhead and
a single extra pointer in struct pid.
v2: Initialize pid->inodes. I somehow failed to get that
initialization into the initial version of the patch. A boot
failure was reported by "kernel test robot <[email protected]>", and
failure to initialize that pid->inodes matches all of the reported
symptoms.

CPU is found
When domains are imbalanced or overloaded a search of all CPUs on the
target domain is searched and compared with task_numa_compare. In some
circumstances, a candidate is found that is an obvious win.
o A task can move to an idle CPU and an idle CPU is found
o A swap candidate is found that would move to its preferred domain
This patch terminates the search when either condition is met.

When swapping tasks for NUMA balancing, it is preferred that tasks move
to or remain on their preferred node. When considering an imbalance,
encourage tasks to move to their preferred node and discourage tasks from
moving away from their preferred node.

NUMA balance
Multiple tasks can attempt to select and idle CPU but fail because
numa_migrate_on is already set and the migration fails. Instead of failing,
scan for an alternative idle CPU. select_idle_sibling is not used because
it requires IRQs to be disabled and it ignores numa_migrate_on allowing
multiple tasks to stack. This scan may still fail if there are idle
candidate CPUs due to races but if this occurs, it's best that a task
stay on an available CPU that move to a contended one.

comparing tasks
task_numa_find_cpu() can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to
gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the
second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced.
This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics
and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan
of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an
idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the
node cpumask.
As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance
of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle
CPUs is cached and can be reused.
Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU
as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking
numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.

Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new
signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal
track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the
state of rqs.
At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq:
A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is
considered as overloaded.
But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task
migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq.
When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be
higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use
this signal to better classify cfs_rqs.
The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply
adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq
will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity
will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

domains with spare capacity
The standard load balancer generally tries to keep the number of running
tasks or idle CPUs balanced between NUMA domains. The NUMA balancer allows
tasks to move if there is spare capacity but this causes a conflict and
utilisation between NUMA nodes gets badly skewed. This patch uses similar
logic between the NUMA balancer and load balancer when deciding if a task
migrating to its preferred node can use an idle CPU.

Similarly to what has been done for the normal load balancer, we can
replace runnable_load_avg by load_avg in numa load balancing and track the
other statistics like the utilization and the number of running tasks to
get to better view of the current state of a node.
