sysctl changes for v6.10-rc1
Summary * Removed sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/* Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This PR adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/. * Adjusted ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification Adjustments: - Removing unused ctl_table function arguments - Moving non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header - Making ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh. Testing * These changes went into linux-next after v6.9-rc4; giving it a good month of testing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEErkcJVyXmMSXOyyeQupfNUreWQU8FAmZFvBMACgkQupfNUreW QU/eGAv9EWeiXKxr3EVSMAsb9MWbJq7C99I/pd5hMf+qH4PgJpKDH7w/sb2e8h8+ unGiW83ikgrtph7OS4/xM3Y9r3Nvzd6C/OztqgMnNKeRFdMgP7wu9HaSNs05ordb CqJdhvL93quc5HxrGTS9sdLK/wLJWOHwuWMXhX4qS44JNxTdPV2q10Rb7DZyHZ6O C9qp61L2Q2CrnOBKIx8MoeCh20ynJQAo3b0pTN63ZYF4D0vqCcnYNNTPkge4ID8/ ULJoP5hAQY0vJ4g4fC4Gmooa5GECpm8MfZUf3SdgPyauqM/sm3dVdsLXAWD4Phcp TsG2a/5KMYwnLHrUGwDW7bFfEemRU88h0Iam56+SKMl1kMlEpWaLL9ApQXoHFayG e10izS+i/nlQiqYIHtuczCoTimT4/LGnonCLcdA//C3XzBT5MnOd7xsjuaQSpFWl /CV9SZa4ABwzX7u2jty8ik90iihLCFQyKj1d9m1mDVbgb6r3iUOxVuHBgMtY7MF7 eyaEmV7l =/rQW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/* Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array.

Networking changes for 6.10.
Core & protocols ---------------- - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets. AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years. - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches / routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g. PPPoE). - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble. - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection. Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6 address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics, TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot of the link information available via rtnetlink. - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc. - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2% PPS. - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets. - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked, and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket. - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance. - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol driver. - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver. - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent. - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be used either for input or output packet processing. Things we sprinkled into general kernel code -------------------------------------------- - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS(). This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users. - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations. - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments. Netfilter --------- - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM situations and avoid failures in the .commit step. BPF --- - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs. - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for tetragon and bpftrace. - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw tracepoints. - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU state. - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86 instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64. - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible. - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking. - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto APIs. - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13. - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF program to have code sections where preemption is disabled. Driver API ---------- - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by rule. - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line) config. - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues. - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping. Tests and tooling ----------------- - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them. - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test machine). Add a few such tests. - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink access. - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running them "on every commit". - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers. - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for: nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF info, TC u32 mark, TC police action. - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies. - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests. - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs. Drivers ------- - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers, and make more drivers report errors directly to the application rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen). - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Broadcom (bnxt): - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them - support XDP metadata - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library - use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF - add PFCP filter support - add Ethernet filter support - use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops - support 5 layer Tx scheduler topology - nVidia/Mellanox: - 800G link modes and 100G SerDes speeds - per-queue IRQ coalescing configuration - Marvell Octeon: - support offloading TC packet mark action - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual: - stop lying about skb->truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it messes up TCP memory calculations - Google cloud vNIC: - support changing ring size via ethtool - support ring reset using the queue control API - VirtIO net: - expose flow hash from RSS to XDP - per-queue statistics - add selftests - Synopsys (stmmac): - support controllers which require an RX clock signal from the MII bus to perform their hardware initialization - TI: - icssg_prueth: support ICSSG-based Ethernet on AM65x SR1.0 devices - icssg_prueth: add SW TX / RX Coalescing based on hrtimers - cpsw: minimal XDP support - Renesas (ravb): - support describing the MDIO bus - Realtek (r8169): - add support for RTL8168M - Microchip Sparx5: - matchall and flower actions mirred and redirect - Ethernet switches: - nVidia/Mellanox: - improve events processing performance - Marvell: - add support for MV88E6250 family internal PHYs - Microchip: - add DCB and DSCP mapping support for KSZ switches - vsc73xx: convert to PHYLINK - Realtek: - rtl8226b/rtl8221b: add C45 instances and SerDes switching - Many driver changes related to PHYLIB and PHYLINK deprecated API cleanup. - Ethernet PHYs: - Add a new driver for Airoha EN8811H 2.5 Gigabit PHY. - micrel: lan8814: add support for PPS out and external timestamp trigger - WiFi: - Disable Wireless Extensions (WEXT) in all Wi-Fi 7 devices drivers.

ipc: remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove the sentinels from ipc_sysctls and mq_sysctls Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240328-jag-sysctl_remset_misc-v1-5-47c1463b3af2@samsung.com Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

sysctl: treewide: constify argument ctl_table_root::permissions(table)
The permissions callback should not modify the ctl_table. Enforce this expectation via the typesystem. This is a step to put "struct ctl_table" into .rodata throughout the kernel. The patch was created with the following coccinelle script: @@ identifier func, head, ctl; @@ int func( struct ctl_table_header *head, - struct ctl_table *ctl) + const struct ctl_table *ctl) { ... } (insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive) No additional occurrences of '.permissions =' were found after a tree-wide search for places missed by the conccinelle script.

This change is a step towards putting "struct ctl_table" into .rodata and eventually having sysctl core only use "const struct ctl_table". The patch was created with the following coccinelle script: @@ identifier func, head, table, uid, gid; @@ void func( struct ctl_table_header *head, - struct ctl_table *table, kuid_t *uid, kgid_t *gid) { ... } No additional occurrences of 'set_ownership' were found after doing a tree-wide search.

sysctl: treewide: constify ctl_table_header::ctl_table_arg
To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the sysctl core. One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header. Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of struct ctl_table instances. No functional change.

fs: Add FOP_HUGE_PAGES
Instead of checking for specific file_operations, add a bit to file_operations which denotes a file that only contain hugetlb pages. This lets us make hugetlbfs_file_operations static, and removes is_file_shm_hugepages() completely.

sysctl changes for v6.9-rc1
I'm sending you the sysctl pull request after following Luis' suggestion to become a maintainer. If you see that something is missing, get back to me with how to improve and I'll include your feedback in the following PRs. Here is a summary of the changes included in this PR: * New shared repo for sysctl maintenance * check-sysctl-docs adjustment for API changes by Thomas Weißschuh This is a non-functional PR. Additional testing is required for the rest of the pending changes. Future kernel pull requests will include the removal of the empty elements (sentinels) from sysctl arrays in the kernel/, net/, mm/ and security/ dirs. After that, the superfluous check for procname == NULL will be removed. And the push to avoid bloating the kernel as these arrays move out of kernel/sysctl.c will be completed. Even though Thomas' changes went into sysctl-next after v6.8-rc5 (3 weeks in linux-next), I include them as they contained no functional changes and therefore have little chance of resulting in an error/regression. Finally the new shared repo is now picked up by linux-next and is the source for upcoming sysctl changes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEErkcJVyXmMSXOyyeQupfNUreWQU8FAmXzVSUACgkQupfNUreW QU938wv9F8giyaHfGAOOytq6zsMxEYt96t7YP8gAIApPrLIorfFPc/hP4fZhthwX G0KRuA2LLmBL8wq22otzwDx0I5p3zu1ZOEXX594MX2ac4iGRFTsGbZo4G/caiaDu tUEjxMKC4EChGd04Zh8QW93SFK2bQLJYm59ST4JnXynpFZ4B3B7y1AMTshMKdmGu KozaCt/IBi27Wsp8Bwlx39KL+wWtmluYtM4ErxTjUp2hXyDr5aQiNztD0yeOMrLN rIh3H7WYFbFVm3HY4ZgkVfRgKgKZBjI6+5lYu8C3BAgp+ltDkDY7rJu5ux2b5q1r Z9yQ4rg+pnsEjvIpq4trccbyPZX5hrgE9zUN7lJSKr2bqPTKAnJfN0FAQ4rNgHzO EFSHJQd26XuWoQIhwR07d8PDXnfKUH1f8mgN/LWFEXr4iQ1VBGBlYwbvrMkjyoVt Qb/bLUKomCEPzQ6qKrSDAqmcm4A8dl3jbMnjFT7zAfjrcMy8gsWY1sX/0FYR/KYs gPWmf0GW =mUbc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: "No functional changes - additional testing is required for the rest of the pending changes. - New shared repo for sysctl maintenance - check-sysctl-docs adjustment for API changes by Thomas Weißschuh" * tag 'sysctl-6.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl: scripts: check-sysctl-docs: handle per-namespace sysctls ipc: remove linebreaks from arguments of __register_sysctl_table scripts: check-sysctl-docs: adapt to new API MAINTAINERS: Update sysctl tree location |

sysctl: allow to change limits for posix messages queues
All parameters of posix messages queues (queues_max/msg_max/msgsize_max) end up being limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE. The code in mqueue_get_inode is where that limiting happens. The RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is bound to the user namespace and is counted hierarchically. We can allow root in the user namespace to modify the posix messages queues parameters.

sysctl: allow change system v ipc sysctls inside ipc namespace
Patch series "Allow to change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace", v3. Right now ipc and mq limits count as per ipc namespace, but only real root can change them. By default, the current values of these limits are such that it can only be reduced. Since only root can change the values, it is impossible to reduce these limits in the rootless container. We can allow limit changes within ipc namespace because mq parameters are limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE and ipc parameters are not limited to anything other than cgroups. This patch (of 3): Rootless containers are not allowed to modify kernel IPC parameters. All default limits are set to such high values that in fact there are no limits at all. All limits are not inherited and are initialized to default values when a new ipc_namespace is created. For new ipc_namespace: size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlmax = SHMMAX; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24)) size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlall = SHMALL; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24)) int ipc_ns.shm_ctlmni = IPCMNI; // (1 << 15) int ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced = 0; unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmax = MSGMAX; // 8192 unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmni = MSGMNI; // 32000 unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmnb = MSGMNB; // 16384 The shm_tot (total amount of shared pages) has also ceased to be global, it is located in ipc_namespace and is not inherited from anywhere. In such conditions, it cannot be said that these limits limit anything. The real limiter for them is cgroups. If we allow rootless containers to change these parameters, then it can only be reduced.

mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma
Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio
allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the
principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(),
rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage).
vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around
alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the
additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node().
Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers".
It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a
dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification.

sysctl-6.6-rc1
Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved. Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move. The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use. To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future kernel releases. At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series, posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too. The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels are created. Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmTuVnMSHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinIckP/imvRlfkO6L0IP7MmJBRPtwY01rsTAKO Q14dZ//bG4DVQeGl1FdzrF6hhuLgekU0qW1YDFIWiCXO7CbaxaNBPSUkeW6ReVoC R/VHNUPxSR1PWQy1OTJV2t4XKri2sB7ijmUsfsATtISwhei9bggTHEysShtP4tv+ U87DzhoqMnbYIsfMo49KCqOa1Qm7TmjC1a7WAp6Fph3GJuXAzZR5pXpsd0NtOZ9x Ud5RT22icnQpMl7K+yPsqY6XcS5JkgBe/WbSzMAUkYZvBZFBq9t2D+OW5h9TZMhw piJWQ9X0Rm7qI2D15mJfXwaOhhyDhWci391hzdJmS6DI0prf6Ma2NFdAWOt/zomI uiRujS4bGeBUaK5F4TX2WQ1+jdMtAZ+0FncFnzt4U8q7dzUc91uVCm6iHW3gcfAb N7OEg2ZL0gkkgCZHqKxN8wpNQiC2KwnNk+HLAbnL2a/oJYfBtdopQmlxWfrN2hpF xxROiENqk483BRdMXDq6DR/gyDZmZWCobXIglSzlqCOjCOcLbDziIJ7pJk83ok09 h/QnXTYHf9protBq9OIQesgh2pwNzBBLifK84KZLKcb7IbdIKjpQrW5STp04oNGf wcGJzEz8tXUe0UKyMM47AcHQGzIy6cdXNLjyF8a+m7rnZzr1ndnMqZyRStZzuQin AUg2VWHKPmW9 =sq2p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.

ipc/sem: use flexible array in 'struct sem_undo'
Turn 'semadj' in 'struct sem_undo' into a flexible array. The advantages are: - save the size of a pointer when the new undo structure is allocated - avoid some always ugly pointer arithmetic to get the address of semadj - avoid an indirection when the array is accessed While at it, use struct_size() to compute the size of the new undo structure.

sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size is available when the removal occurs. We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network register calls. The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence. table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in __register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that point.

ipc/shm: introduce new do_vma_munmap() to munmap
The shm already has the vma iterator in position for a write. do_vmi_munmap() searches for the correct position and aligns the write, so it is not the right function to use in this case. The shm VMA tree modification is similar to the brk munmap situation, the vma iterator is in position and the VMA is already known. This patch generalizes the brk munmap function do_brk_munmap() to be used for any other callers with the vma iterator already in position to munmap a VMA.

Currently the ipc namespace allocation will fail when there are ipc_namespace structures pending to be freed. This results in the simple test case below, as well as some real world workloads, to get allocation failures even when the number of ipc namespaces in actual use is way below the limit. int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { if (unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) < 0) error(EXIT_FAILURE, errno, "unshare"); } } Make the allocation of an ipc_namespace wait for pending frees, so it will succeed. real 6m19.197s user 0m0.041s sys 0m1.019s Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Reported-by: Chris Mason <clm@meta.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

ipc: fix memory leak in init_mqueue_fs()
When setup_mq_sysctls() failed in init_mqueue_fs(), mqueue_inode_cachep is
not released. In order to fix this issue, the release path is reordered.

ipc/sem: Fix dangling sem_array access in semtimedop race
When __do_semtimedop() goes to sleep because it has to wait for a
semaphore value becoming zero or becoming bigger than some threshold, it
links the on-stack sem_queue to the sem_array, then goes to sleep
without holding a reference on the sem_array.
When __do_semtimedop() comes back out of sleep, one of two things must
happen:
a) We prove that the on-stack sem_queue has been disconnected from the
(possibly freed) sem_array, making it safe to return from the stack
frame that the sem_queue exists in.
b) We stabilize our reference to the sem_array, lock the sem_array, and
detach the sem_queue from the sem_array ourselves.
sem_array has RCU lifetime, so for case (b), the reference can be
stabilized inside an RCU read-side critical section by locklessly
checking whether the sem_queue is still connected to the sem_array.
However, the current code does the lockless check on sem_queue before
starting an RCU read-side critical section, so the result of the
lockless check immediately becomes useless.
Fix it by doing rcu_read_lock() before the lockless check. Now RCU
ensures that if we observe the object being on our queue, the object
can't be freed until rcu_read_unlock().
This bug is only hittable on kernel builds with full preemption support
(either CONFIG_PREEMPT or PREEMPT_DYNAMIC with preempt=full).

ipc/shm: call underlying open/close vm_ops
Shared memory segments can be created that are backed by hugetlb pages.
When this happens, the vmas associated with any mappings (shmat) are
marked VM_HUGETLB, yet the vm_ops for such mappings are provided by
ipc/shm (shm_vm_ops). There is a mechanism to call the underlying hugetlb
vm_ops, and this is done for most operations. However, it is not done for
open and close.
This was not an issue until the introduction of the hugetlb vma_lock.
This lock structure is pointed to by vm_private_data and the open/close
vm_ops help maintain this structure. The special hugetlb routine called
at fork took care of structure updates at fork time. However,
vma_splitting is not properly handled for ipc shared memory mappings
backed by hugetlb pages. This can result in a "kernel NULL pointer
dereference" BUG or use after free as two vmas point to the same lock
structure.
Update the shm open and close routines to always call the underlying open
and close routines.

- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam R. Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slight more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAOUHufZabH85CeUN-MEMgL8gJGzJEWUrkiM58JkTbBhh-jew0Q@mail.gmail.com). This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths.

ipc/msg: mitigate the lock contention with percpu counter
The msg_bytes and msg_hdrs atomic counters are frequently updated when IPC msg queue is in heavy use, causing heavy cache bounce and overhead. Change them to percpu_counter greatly improve the performance. Since there is one percpu struct per namespace, additional memory cost is minimal. Reading of the count done in msgctl call, which is infrequent. So the need to sum up the counts in each CPU is infrequent.

These changes update the ipc sysctls so that they are fundamentally
per ipc namespace. Previously these sysctls depended upon a hack to simulate being per ipc namespace by looking up the ipc namespace in read or write. With this set of changes the ipc sysctls are registered per ipc namespace and open looks up the ipc namespace. Not only does this series of changes ensure the traditional binding at open time happens, but it sets a foundation for being able to relax the permission checks to allow a user namspace root to change the ipc sysctls for an ipc namespace that the user namespace root requires. To do this requires the ipc namespace to be known at open time. These changes were sent for v5.18[1] but were dropped because some additional cleanups were requested. Linus has given his nod[2] to the cleanups so I hope enough cleanups are present this time.
