Right I missed that fdget() wouldn't take a reference count I assumed it
would be equivalent, my mistake.

This was in response to you review saying I can't pass around a pointer to
the fd, originally I didn't do this.

This was the only way I could find to de-jank and make my shared function
not end up problematic in the light of wanting to keep the fd within a
single scope, I didn't realise that passing that by value would be ok.

But obviously hadn't realised that fdget()/fdput() sometimes doesn't change
a reference count, mea culpa on that not an fs person...

OK, I was really uncertain as to what you meant regarding the scope of this
value so had assumed we couldn't do something like assigning the value like
that.

I guess I'll try to adapt that and respin a v7 when I get a chance.

We're looking up PIDFD_SELF_* values here. So presumably you mean the:

	struct pid *pid = *task_pid_ptr(current, type);
	/* The caller expects an elevated reference count. */
	get_pid(pid);

Bit is duplicated vs. get_task_pid()?

I did that because it wasn't clear doing that under the RCU lock was
necessary or useful?

It seems useful still to have the PIDFD_SELF stuff qseparate, I can replace
those two lines with a call to get_task_pid() if you prefer? Unless you
meant something else?

This has been raised a couple times before by other reviewers, this is just
so we can declare variables, especially the fd variable, which you were
very clear _must_ retain scope only where it used.

Otherwise I have to do something like;

	struct fd f = {};

	if (...) { return ...; }

	f = fdget(...);

This way we don't need to do that.

I mean probably the compiler would do the right thing but it just seems
ugly to assign/reassign a stack value like that.

Ah, I see struct fd is just a wrapper around an unsigned long, so probably
not a big deal to just leave it unassigned then.

This was the only reason I did this, I usually much prefer the guard
pattern.

OK if you're fine with this value being assigned like that then no problem
will change!

Currently, a pidfd based system call like pidfd_send_signal() would
simply do:

fdget(pidfd);
// use struct pid
fdput(pidfd);

Where the lifetime of @pid is guaranteed by @file. And in the regular
case where there's only a single thread the file code will avoid taking
a reference. Thus, there's no reference count bump on fdget(), nor a
drop on fdput(), nor a get_pid() or put_pid().

With your patch series you will always cause reference counts on @pid to
be taken for everyone. And I wouldn't be surprised if we get performance
regressions for this.

In one of my earlier mails I had mused about a fdput() like primitive.
What I roughly, hastily, and under the influence of the flu, sketched in
the _completey untested_ patch I appended illustrates roughly what I had
been thinking about.

Fwiw, what you've done here is essentially reimplement the already

* [PATCH v4 1/5] mm: pagewalk: add the ability to install PTEs

In-Reply-To: <cover.1730123433.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

The existing generic pagewalk logic permits the walking of page tables,
invoking callbacks at individual page table levels via user-provided
mm_walk_ops callbacks.

This is useful for traversing existing page table entries, but precludes
the ability to establish new ones.

Existing mechanism for performing a walk which also installs page table
entries if necessary are heavily duplicated throughout the kernel, each
with semantic differences from one another and largely unavailable for use
elsewhere.

Rather than add yet another implementation, we extend the generic pagewalk
logic to enable the installation of page table entries by adding a new
install_pte() callback in mm_walk_ops. If this is specified, then upon
encountering a missing page table entry, we allocate and install a new one
and continue the traversal.

If a THP huge page is encountered at either the PMD or PUD level we split
it only if there are ops->pte_entry() (or ops->pmd_entry at PUD level),
otherwise if there is only an ops->install_pte(), we avoid the unnecessary
split.

We do not support hugetlb at this stage.

If this function returns an error, or an allocation fails during the
operation, we abort the operation altogether. It is up to the caller to
deal appropriately with partially populated page table ranges.

If install_pte() is defined, the semantics of pte_entry() change - this
callback is then only invoked if the entry already exists. This is a useful
property, as it allows a caller to handle existing PTEs while installing
new ones where necessary in the specified range.

If install_pte() is not defined, then there is no functional difference to
this patch, so all existing logic will work precisely as it did before.

As we only permit the installation of PTEs where a mapping does not already
exist there is no need for TLB management, however we do invoke
update_mmu_cache() for architectures which require manual maintenance of
mappings for other CPUs.

We explicitly do not allow the existing page walk API to expose this
feature as it is dangerous and intended for internal mm use only. Therefore
we provide a new walk_page_range_mm() function exposed only to
mm/internal.h.

We take the opportunity to additionally clean up the page walker logic to
be a little easier to follow.{

* [PATCH v4 0/5] implement lightweight guard pages
From: Lorenzo Stoakes @ 2024-10-28 14:13 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton
  Cc: Suren Baghdasaryan, Liam R . Howlett, Matthew Wilcox,
	Vlastimil Babka, Paul E . McKenney, Jann Horn, David Hildenbrand,

Userland library functions such as allocators and threading implementations
often require regions of memory to act as 'guard pages' - mappings which,
when accessed, result in a fatal signal being sent to the accessing
process.

The current means by which these are implemented is via a PROT_NONE mmap()
mapping, which provides the required semantics however incur an overhead of
a VMA for each such region.

With a great many processes and threads, this can rapidly add up and incur
a significant memory penalty. It also has the added problem of preventing
merges that might otherwise be permitted.

This series takes a different approach - an idea suggested by Vlasimil
Babka (and before him David Hildenbrand and Jann Horn - perhaps more - the
provenance becomes a little tricky to ascertain after this - please forgive
any omissions!)  - rather than locating the guard pages at the VMA layer,
instead placing them in page tables mapping the required ranges.

Early testing of the prototype version of this code suggests a 5 times
speed up in memory mapping invocations (in conjunction with use of
process_madvise()) and a 13% reduction in VMAs on an entirely idle android
system and unoptimised code.

We expect with optimisation and a loaded system with a larger number of
guard pages this could significantly increase, but in any case these
numbers are encouraging.

This way, rather than having separate VMAs specifying which parts of a
range are guard pages, instead we have a VMA spanning the entire range of
memory a user is permitted to access and including ranges which are to be
'guarded'.

After mapping this, a user can specify which parts of the range should
result in a fatal signal when accessed.

By restricting the ability to specify guard pages to memory mapped by
existing VMAs, we can rely on the mappings being torn down when the
mappings are ultimately unmapped and everything works simply as if the
memory were not faulted in, from the point of view of the containing VMAs.

This mechanism in effect poisons memory ranges similar to hardware memory
poisoning, only it is an entirely software-controlled form of poisoning.

The mechanism is implemented via madvise() behaviour - MADV_GUARD_INSTALL
which installs page table-level guard page markers - and
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE - which clears them.

Guard markers can be installed across multiple VMAs and any existing
mappings will be cleared, that is zapped, before installing the guard page
markers in the page tables.

There is no concept of 'nested' guard markers, multiple attempts to install
guard markers in a range will, after the first attempt, have no effect.

Importantly, removing guard markers over a range that contains both guard
markers and ordinary backed memory has no effect on anything but the guard
markers (including leaving huge pages un-split), so a user can safely
remove guard markers over a range of memory leaving the rest intact.

The actual mechanism by which the page table entries are specified makes
use of existing logic - PTE markers, which are used for the userfaultfd
UFFDIO_POISON mechanism.

Unfortunately PTE_MARKER_POISONED is not suited for the guard page
mechanism as it results in VM_FAULT_HWPOISON semantics in the fault
handler, so we add our own specific PTE_MARKER_GUARD and adapt existing
logic to handle it.

We also extend the generic page walk mechanism to allow for installation of
PTEs (carefully restricted to memory management logic only to prevent
unwanted abuse).

We ensure that zapping performed by MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE do not
remove guard markers, nor does forking (except when VM_WIPEONFORK is
specified for a VMA which implies a total removal of memory
characteristics).

It's important to note that the guard page implementation is emphatically
NOT a security feature, so a user can remove the markers if they wish. We
simply implement it in such a way as to provide the least surprising
behaviour.

An extensive set of self-tests are provided which ensure behaviour is as
expected and additionally self-documents expected behaviour of guard
ranges.

Suggested-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
Suggested-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

v4
* Use restart_syscall() to implement -ERESTARTNOINTR to ensure correctly
  handled by kernel - tested this code path and confirmed it works
  correctly. Thanks to Vlastimil for pointing this issue out!
* Updated the vector_madvise() handler to not unnecessarily invoke
  cond_resched() as suggested by Vlastimil.
* Updated guard page tests to add a test for a vector operation which
  overwrites existing mappings. Tested this against the -ERESTARTNOINTR
  case and confirmed working.
* Improved page walk logic further, refactoring handling logic as suggested
  by Vlastimil.
* Moved MAX_MADVISE_GUARD_RETRIES to mm/madvise.c as suggested by Vlastimil.

v3
* Cleaned up mm/pagewalk.c logic a bit to make things clearer, as suggested
  by Vlastiml.
* Explicitly avoid splitting THP on PTE installation, as suggested by
  Vlastimil. Note this has no impact on the guard pages logic, which has
  page table entry handlers at PUD, PMD and PTE level.
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() to mm/hugetlb.c path where we don't expect a guard
  marker, as suggested by Vlastimil.
* Reverted change to is_poisoned_swp_entry() to exclude guard pages which
  has the effect of MADV_FREE _not_ clearing guard pages. After discussion
  with Vlastimil, it became apparent that the ability to 'cancel' the
  freeing operation by writing to the mapping after having issued an
  MADV_FREE would mean that we would risk unexpected behaviour should the
  guard pages be removed, so we now do not remove markers here at all.
* Added comment to PTE_MARKER_GUARD to highlight that memory tagged with
  the marker behaves as if it were a region mapped PROT_NONE, as
  highlighted by David.
* Rename poison -> install, unpoison -> remove (i.e. MADV_GUARD_INSTALL /
  MADV_GUARD_REMOVE over MADV_GUARD_POISON / MADV_GUARD_REMOVE) at the
  request of David and John who both find the poison analogy
  confusing/overloaded.
* After a lot of discussion, replace the looping behaviour should page
  faults race with guard page installation with a modest reattempt followed
  by returning -ERESTARTNOINTR to have the operation abort and re-enter,
  relieving lock contention and avoiding the possibility of allowing a
  malicious sandboxed process to impact the mmap lock or stall the overall
  process more than necessary, as suggested by Jann and Vlastimil having
  raised the issue.
* Adjusted the page table walker so a populated huge PUD or PMD is
  correctly treated as being populated, necessitating a zap. In v2 we
  incorrectly skipped over these, which would cause the logic to wrongly
  proceed as if nothing were populated and the install succeeded.
  Instead, explicitly check to see if a huge page - if so, do not split but
  rather abort the operation and let zap take care of things.
* Updated the guard remove logic to not unnecessarily split huge pages
  either.
* Added a debug check to assert that the number of installed PTEs matches
  expectation, accounting for any existing guard pages.
* Adapted vector_madvise() used by the process_madvise() system call to
  handle -ERESTARTNOINTR correctly.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1729699916.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

v2
* The macros in kselftest_harness.h seem to be broken - __EXPECT() is
  terminated by '} while (0); OPTIONAL_HANDLER(_assert)' meaning it is not
  safe in single line if / else or for /which blocks, however working
  around this results in checkpatch producing invalid warnings, as reported
  by Shuah.
* Fixing these macros is out of scope for this series, so compromise and
  instead rewrite test blocks so as to use multiple lines by separating out
  a decl in most cases. This has the side effect of, for the most part,
  making things more readable.
* Heavily document the use of the volatile keyword - we can't avoid
  checkpatch complaining about this, so we explain it, as reported by
  Shuah.
* Updated commit message to highlight that we skip tests we lack
  permissions for, as reported by Shuah.
* Replaced a perror() with ksft_exit_fail_perror(), as reported by Shuah.
* Added user friendly messages to cases where tests are skipped due to lack
  of permissions, as reported by Shuah.
* Update the tool header to include the new MADV_GUARD_POISON/UNPOISON
  defines and directly include asm-generic/mman.h to get the
  platform-neutral versions to ensure we import them.
* Finally fixed Vlastimil's email address in Suggested-by tags from suze to
  suse, as reported by Vlastimil.
* Added linux-api to cc list, as reported by Vlastimil.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1729440856.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

v1
* Un-RFC'd as appears no major objections to approach but rather debate on
  implementation.
* Fixed issue with arches which need mmu_context.h and
  tlbfush.h. header imports in pagewalker logic to be able to use
  update_mmu_cache() as reported by the kernel test bot.
* Added comments in page walker logic to clarify who can use
  ops->install_pte and why as well as adding a check_ops_valid() helper
  function, as suggested by Christoph.
* Pass false in full parameter in pte_clear_not_present_full() as suggested
  by Jann.
* Stopped erroneously requiring a write lock for the poison operation as
  suggested by Jann and Suren.
* Moved anon_vma_prepare() to the start of madvise_guard_poison() to be
  consistent with how this is used elsewhere in the kernel as suggested by
  Jann.
* Avoid returning -EAGAIN if we are raced on page faults, just keep looping
  and duck out if a fatal signal is pending or a conditional reschedule is
  needed, as suggested by Jann.
* Avoid needlessly splitting huge PUDs and PMDs by specifying
  ACTION_CONTINUE, as suggested by Jann.

* [PATCH v4 2/5] mm: add PTE_MARKER_GUARD PTE marker

In-Reply-To: <cover.1730123433.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

Add a new PTE marker that results in any access causing the accessing
process to segfault.

This is preferable to PTE_MARKER_POISONED, which results in the same
handling as hardware poisoned memory, and is thus undesirable for cases
where we simply wish to 'soft' poison a range.

This is in preparation for implementing the ability to specify guard pages
at the page table level, i.e. ranges that, when accessed, should cause
process termination.

Additionally, rename zap_drop_file_uffd_wp() to zap_drop_markers() - the
function checks the ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag so naming it for this single
purpose was simply incorrect.

We then reuse the same logic to determine whether a zap should clear a
guard entry - this should only be performed on teardown and never on
MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE.

We additionally add a WARN_ON_ONCE() in hugetlb logic should a guard marker
be encountered there, as we explicitly do not support this operation and
this should not occur.

* [PATCH v4 5/5] selftests/mm: add self tests for guard page feature

In-Reply-To: <cover.1730123433.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

Utilise the kselftest harmness to implement tests for the guard page
implementation.

We start by implement basic tests asserting that guard pages can be
installed, removed and that touching guard pages result in SIGSEGV. We also
assert that, in removing guard pages from a range, non-guard pages remain
intact.

We then examine different operations on regions containing guard markers
behave to ensure correct behaviour:

* Operations over multiple VMAs operate as expected.
* Invoking MADV_GUARD_INSTALL / MADV_GUARD_REMOVE via process_madvise() in
  batches works correctly.
* Ensuring that munmap() correctly tears down guard markers.
* Using mprotect() to adjust protection bits does not in any way override
  or cause issues with guard markers.
* Ensuring that splitting and merging VMAs around guard markers causes no
  issue - i.e. that a marker which 'belongs' to one VMA can function just
  as well 'belonging' to another.
* Ensuring that madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) and madvise(..., MADV_FREE)
  do not remove guard markers.
* Ensuring that mlock()'ing a range containing guard markers does not
  cause issues.
* Ensuring that mremap() can move a guard range and retain guard markers.
* Ensuring that mremap() can expand a guard range and retain guard
  markers (perhaps moving the range).
* Ensuring that mremap() can shrink a guard range and retain guard markers.
* Ensuring that forking a process correctly retains guard markers.
* Ensuring that forking a VMA with VM_WIPEONFORK set behaves sanely.
* Ensuring that lazyfree simply clears guard markers.
* Ensuring that userfaultfd can co-exist with guard pages.
* Ensuring that madvise(..., MADV_POPULATE_READ) and
  madvise(..., MADV_POPULATE_WRITE) error out when encountering
  guard markers.
* Ensuring that madvise(..., MADV_COLD) and madvise(..., MADV_PAGEOUT) do
  not remove guard markers.

If any test is unable to be run due to lack of permissions, that test is
skipped.

In-Reply-To: <cover.1730123433.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

Implement a new lightweight guard page feature, that is regions of userland
virtual memory that, when accessed, cause a fatal signal to arise.

Currently users must establish PROT_NONE ranges to achieve this.

However this is very costly memory-wise - we need a VMA for each and every
one of these regions AND they become unmergeable with surrounding VMAs.

In addition repeated mmap() calls require repeated kernel context switches
and contention of the mmap lock to install these ranges, potentially also
having to unmap memory if installed over existing ranges.

The lightweight guard approach eliminates the VMA cost altogether - rather
than establishing a PROT_NONE VMA, it operates at the level of page table
entries - establishing PTE markers such that accesses to them cause a fault
followed by a SIGSGEV signal being raised.

This is achieved through the PTE marker mechanism, which we have already
extended to provide PTE_MARKER_GUARD, which we installed via the generic
page walking logic which we have extended for this purpose.

These guard ranges are established with MADV_GUARD_INSTALL. If the range in
which they are installed contain any existing mappings, they will be
zapped, i.e. free the range and unmap memory (thus mimicking the behaviour
of MADV_DONTNEED in this respect).

Any existing guard entries will be left untouched. There is therefore no
nesting of guarded pages.

Guarded ranges are NOT cleared by MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE (in both
instances the memory range may be reused at which point a user would expect
guards to still be in place), but they are cleared via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE,
process teardown or unmapping of memory ranges.

The guard property can be removed from ranges via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE. The
ranges over which this is applied, should they contain non-guard entries,
will be untouched, with only guard entries being cleared.

We permit this operation on anonymous memory only, and only VMAs which are
non-special, non-huge and not mlock()'d (if we permitted this we'd have to
drop locked pages which would be rather counterintuitive).

Racing page faults can cause repeated attempts to install guard pages that
are interrupted, result in a zap, and this process can end up being
repeated. If this happens more than would be expected in normal operation,
we rescind locks and retry the whole thing, which avoids lock contention in
this scenario.

Yeah looks like we do actually, as the function is handled by
arch_do_signal_or_restart():

do_syscall_64()
  -> sycall_exit_to_user_mode_work()
    -> __sycall_exit_to_user_mode_work()
      -> exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
        -> exit_to_user_mode_loop()
	  -> arch_do_signal_or_restart()
	    -> (possibly) get_signal()

And arch_do_signal_or_restart() is only invoked by exit_to_user_mode_loop()
if _TIF_SIGPENDING or _TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set:

		if (ti_work & (_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL))
			arch_do_signal_or_restart(regs);

This is set by restart_syscall():

static inline int restart_syscall(void)
{
	set_tsk_thread_flag(current, TIF_SIGPENDING);
	return -ERESTARTNOINTR;
}

It's a nop if no signal is actually pending too, and it handily also deals
with signals...

So will respin to use restart_syscall() correctly (+ fix up your other points too).

Have tested and confirmed that failing to use restart_syscall() causes the
-ERESTARTINTR to be returned and no restart, but using it works.

Using get_task_policy() seems very dangerous to me. It is explicitly
possible for different tasks in a process to have different policies,
which means (private) futexes would fail to work correctly.

We need something that is process wide consistent -- like the vma
policies. Except at current, those are to expensive to readily access.

What if the CPU-less node is placed equidistant between two (or more)
regular nodes and it is the best location for a futex that is spanning
those nodes?

That is to say, just because it doesn't have CPUs, doesn't mean it is
never the right node.

Hmm?

With numa-awareness, when would lookups ever want to be anywhere but
local? mempolicy is about allocations, futexes are not that.

Yeah entirely understandable and that's the right order I think, the
modifying path is the trickier one especially with all the special cases

Yes this would avoid all the heavy handling a replace handler needs.

Things _have_ got lost. I don't see MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKED in the madvise()
man page for instance...

(I intend actually to send a patch for that alongside my changes.)

Right, this is the problem with having the manpages in a separate repo, it
seems presumptious to _assume_ this will land in 6.13 though I hope it
does, but if I get a patch accepted in the manpages they may ship a version
that has information that is simply invalid...

Really would be nice to integrate it here :)

Michael Kerrisk is a hero, writes with a power of clarity I could only
dream of :) understandable that he may be rather tired of having to
maintain all this however...

In-Reply-To: <cover.1729926229.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

Add tests to assert that PIDFD_SELF_* correctly refers to the current
thread and process.

This is only practically meaningful to pidfd_send_signal() and
pidfd_getfd(), but also explicitly test that we disallow this feature for
setns() where it would make no sense.

We cannot reasonably wait on ourself using waitid(P_PIDFD, ...) so while in
theory PIDFD_SELF_* would work here, we'd be left blocked if we tried it.

We defer testing of mm-specific functionality which uses pidfd, namely
process_madvise() and process_mrelease() to mm testing (though note the
latter can not be sensibly tested as it would require the testing process
to be dying).

* [PATCH v6 4/5] selftests: pidfd: add pidfd.h UAPI wrapper
From: Lorenzo Stoakes @ 2024-10-26  7:25 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1729926229.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

Conflicts can arise between system fcntl.h and linux/fcntl.h, imported by
the linux/pidfd.h UAPI header.

Work around this by adding a wrapper for linux/pidfd.h to
tools/include/ which sets the linux/fcntl.h header guard ahead of
importing the pidfd.h header file.

Adjust the pidfd selftests Makefile to reference this include directory and
put it at a higher precidence than any make header installed headers to
ensure the wrapper is preferred.

This way we can directly import the UAPI header file without issue, use the
latest system header file without having to duplicate anything.

* [PATCH v6 3/5] tools: testing: separate out wait_for_pid() into helper header

In-Reply-To: <cover.1729926229.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

It seems tests other than the pidfd tests use the wait_for_pid() function
declared in pidfd.h.

Since we will shortly be modifying pidfd.h in a way that might clash with
other tests, separate this out and update tests accordingly.

* [PATCH v6 2/5] pidfd: add PIDFD_SELF_* sentinels to refer to own thread/process
From: Lorenzo Stoakes @ 2024-10-26  7:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Christian Brauner
  Cc: Shuah Khan, Liam R . Howlett, Suren Baghdasaryan, Vlastimil Babka,
	pedro.falcato, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, linux-fsdevel,
	linux-api, linux-kernel, Oliver Sang, John Hubbard
In-Reply-To: <cover.1729926229.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

It is useful to be able to utilise the pidfd mechanism to reference the
current thread or process (from a userland point of view - thread group
leader from the kernel's point of view).

Therefore introduce PIDFD_SELF_THREAD to refer to the current thread, and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP to refer to the current thread group leader.

For convenience and to avoid confusion from userland's perspective we alias
these:

* PIDFD_SELF is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD - This is nearly always what
  the user will want to use, as they would find it surprising if for
  instance fd's were unshared()'d and they wanted to invoke pidfd_getfd()
  and that failed.

* PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP - Most users
  have no concept of thread groups or what a thread group leader is, and
  from userland's perspective and nomenclature this is what userland
  considers to be a process.

Due to the refactoring of the central __pidfd_get_pid() function we can
implement this functionality centrally, providing the use of this sentinel
in most functionality which utilises pidfd's.

We need to explicitly adjust kernel_waitid_prepare() to permit this (though
it wouldn't really make sense to use this there, we provide the ability for
consistency).

We explicitly disallow use of this in setns(), which would otherwise have
required explicit custom handling, as it doesn't make sense to set the
current calling thread to join the namespace of itself.

As the callers of pidfd_get_pid() expect an increased reference count on
the pid we do so in the self case, reducing churn and avoiding any breakage
from existing logic which decrements this reference count.

This change implicitly provides PIDFD_SELF_* support in the waitid(P_PIDFS,
...), process_madvise(), process_mrelease(), pidfd_send_signal(), and
pidfd_getfd() system calls.

Things such as polling a pidfs and general fd operations are not supported,
this strictly provides the sentinel for APIs which explicitly accept a
pidfd.

* [PATCH v6 0/5]  introduce PIDFD_SELF* sentinels
From: Lorenzo Stoakes @ 2024-10-26  7:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Christian Brauner
  Cc: Shuah Khan, Liam R . Howlett, Suren Baghdasaryan, Vlastimil Babka,
	pedro.falcato, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, linux-fsdevel,
	linux-api, linux-kernel, Oliver Sang, John Hubbard

If you wish to utilise a pidfd interface to refer to the current process or
thread it is rather cumbersome, requiring something like:

	int pidfd = pidfd_open(getpid(), 0 or PIDFD_THREAD);

	...

	close(pidfd);

Or the equivalent call opening /proc/self. It is more convenient to use a
sentinel value to indicate to an interface that accepts a pidfd that we
simply wish to refer to the current process thread.

This series introduces sentinels for this purposes which can be passed as
the pidfd in this instance rather than having to establish a dummy fd for
this purpose.

It is useful to refer to both the current thread from the userland's
perspective for which we use PIDFD_SELF, and the current process from the
userland's perspective, for which we use PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS.

There is unfortunately some confusion between the kernel and userland as to
what constitutes a process - a thread from the userland perspective is a
process in userland, and a userland process is a thread group (more
specifically the thread group leader from the kernel perspective). We
therefore alias things thusly:

* PIDFD_SELF_THREAD aliased by PIDFD_SELF - use PIDTYPE_PID.
* PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP alised by PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS - use PIDTYPE_TGID.

In all of the kernel code we refer to PIDFD_SELF_THREAD and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP. However we expect users to use PIDFD_SELF and
PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS.

This matters for cases where, for instance, a user unshare()'s FDs or does
thread-specific signal handling and where the user would be hugely confused
if the FDs referenced or signal processed referred to the thread group
leader rather than the individual thread.

We ensure that pidfd_send_signal() and pidfd_getfd() work correctly, and
assert as much in selftests. All other interfaces except setns() will work
implicitly with this new interface, however it doesn't make sense to test
waitid(P_PIDFD, ...) as waiting on ourselves is a blocking operation.

In the case of setns() we explicitly disallow use of PIDFD_SELF* as it
doesn't make sense to obtain the namespaces of our own process, and it
would require work to implement this functionality there that would be of
no use.

We also do not provide the ability to utilise PIDFD_SELF* in ordinary fd
operations such as open() or poll(), as this would require extensive work
and be of no real use.

v6:
* Avoid static inline in UAPI header as suggested by Pedro.
* Place PIDFD_SELF values out of range of errors and any other sentinel as
  suggested by Pedro.

v5:
* Fixup self test dependencies on pidfd/pidfd.h.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1729848252.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

v4:
* Avoid returning an fd in the __pidfd_get_pid() function as pointed out by
  Christian, instead simply always pin the pid and maintain fd scope in the
  helper alone.
* Add wrapper header file in tools/include/linux to allow for import of
  UAPI pidfd.h header without encountering the collision between system
  fcntl.h and linux/fcntl.h as discussed with Shuah and John.
* Fixup tests to import the UAPI pidfd.h header working around conflicts
  between system fcntl.h and linux/fcntl.h which the UAPI pidfd.h imports,
  as reported by Shuah.
* Use an int for pidfd_is_self_sentinel() to avoid any dependency on
  stdbool.h in userland.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1729198898.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

v3:
* Do not fput() an invalid fd as reported by kernel test bot.
* Fix unintended churn from moving variable declaration.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1729073310.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

v2:
* Fix tests as reported by Shuah.
* Correct RFC version lore link.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1728643714.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

Non-RFC v1:
* Removed RFC tag - there seems to be general consensus that this change is
  a good idea, but perhaps some debate to be had on implementation. It
  seems sensible then to move forward with the RFC flag removed.
* Introduced PIDFD_SELF_THREAD, PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP and their aliases
  PIDFD_SELF and PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS respectively.
* Updated testing accordingly.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1728578231.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/

In-Reply-To: <cover.1729926229.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

The means by which a pid is determined from a pidfd is duplicated, with
some callers holding a reference to the (pid)fd, and others explicitly
pinning the pid.

Introduce __pidfd_get_pid() which narrows this to one approach of pinning
the pid, with an optional output parameters for file->f_flags to avoid the
need to hold onto a file to retrieve this.

Additionally, allow the ability to open a pidfd by opening a /proc/<pid>
directory, utilised by the pidfd_send_signal() system call, providing a
pidfd_get_pid_proc() helper function to do so.

Doing this allows us to eliminate open-coded pidfd pid lookup and to
consistently handle this in one place.

This lays the groundwork for a subsequent patch which adds a new sentinel
pidfd to explicitly reference the current process (i.e. thread group
leader) without the need for a pidfd.

I'll look into the per task thing, which I'm hoping means per-process.
We need something that is mm wide consistent.

But since futexes play in the address space, I was really rather
thinking we ought to use the vma policy.

Yes, that would be good.  At present the linkage is so poor that things
could get lost.

I guess one thing we could do is to include the proposed manpage update
within the changelogs.  That way it's stored somewhere and gets reviewed
alongside the patches themselves.

That's late, IMO.  Sometimes reviewing manpage updates leads people to
ask "hey.  what about X" or "hey, that's wrong".  Michael Kerrisk was
good at finding such holes, back in the day.

I believe so. But now you've caused me some doubt so let me double check
and make absolutely sure :)

Yeah I was wondering about that, but restart_syscall() seems to set
TIF_SIGPENDING, and I wondered if that was correct... but then I saw other
places that seemed to use it direct so it seemed so.

Let's eliminiate doubt, will check this next week and make sure.

Ack will remove on respin.

For simplicitly with your other comments too I think I'll respin this next
week.

Right, sorry I thought I had made this point earlier, perhaps in a sub-thread of
a thread of thread. It felt as if you guys were acting as if that were
immaterial, which is why I highlighted it again.

Text is a poor medium, sorry!

I don't mean to say you're doing that purposefully on any level, I mean to
say that, by arguing here over something that feels kind of unimportant, we
are inadvertently doing that.

Sure, and I'm passionate about tests (I've written _thousands_ of lines of
tests recently!) I mention this as a related example of something that
feels out of scope.

Equally as the pidfd.h test header already had other instances of exactly
what I did and thus really should have been solved as a separate series
(one that I'd have been happy to do myself), I feel this issue, if truly a
problem should be considered separately.

Yes, I get that, rather a Brit element to this, to be clear - I am not
distraught, merely mildly perturbed. Again text is a bloody awful medium!

This genuinely was meant to be tongue in cheek, BUT I realise it's a me
issue on this kind of thing - obviously written down like that it comes off
as possibly dripping with a kind of venom that was ABSOLUTELY not intended.

Whereas my intent was a sort of wry smile, 'come on guys this doesn't
matter' thing.

But since this is the second time now that I've said something intended
that way and having been received as quite something different - this is a
me thing - and I will refrain from dalliances into the rhetorical like this
in future!

Apologies if either you or Pedro took offence and I'm fine! Other than this
damn cold that wont' go away...

And I consider you one of the loveliest people in the kernel and very very
sharp, and have enjoyed meeting you and your erstwhile colleague Jason :)

To be clear - I also have high regard for Pedro who I consider very smart,
and I don't say that lightly.

I mean this _whole series_ is his idea, for instance. I don't just write
series based on an idea on review for just anyone ;)

So this is not at all intended to be a critique of either of you, as I have
the utmost regard for you both...!

Well some of higher 'strength' have more basis than others that may be my
failing to communicate things quite as intended. We'd have to speak on a
case-by-case basis :)

But in Vlastimil's case, that was absolutely not intended. Again text is a
bad medium!

No it's fine, I think just a comms thing here.

Please do carry on reviewing it is all much appreciated... I promise!

Anyway on this issue, as I said, and meant - I will respin with this taken
out to alleviate concerns.

The _far_ more pressing issue I think is the one Pedro raised about the
actual PIDFD_SELF* values. I may simply choose some arbitrary ones in the
range specified by Pedro on respin.


Thanks! And I guess I owe you both beers ;)
