This reverts commit ffb6cf19e0.
Users reported regressions due to enabling multi-grained timestamps
unconditionally. As no clear consensus on a solution has come up and the
discussion has gone back to the drawing board revert the infrastructure

The choose_32_64() macros were added to deal with an odd inconsistency
between the 32-bit and 64-bit layout of 'struct stat' way back when in
commit a52dd971f9 ("vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function").
Then a decade later Mikulas noticed that said inconsistency had been a
mistake in the early x86-64 port, and shouldn't have existed in the
first place. So commit 932aba1e16 ("stat: fix inconsistency between
struct stat and struct compat_stat") removed the uses of the helpers.
But the helpers remained around, unused.
Get rid of them.

Mateusz reports that glibc turns 'fstat()' calls into 'fstatat()', and
that seems to have been going on for quite a long time due to glibc
having tried to simplify its stat logic into just one point.
This turns out to cause completely unnecessary overhead, where we then
go off and allocate the kernel side pathname, and actually look up the
empty path. Sure, our path lookup is quite optimized, but it still
causes a fair bit of allocation overhead and a couple of completely
unnecessary rounds of lockref accesses etc.
This is all hopefully getting fixed in user space, and there is a patch
floating around for just having glibc use the native fstat() system
call. But even with the current situation we can at least improve on
things by catching the situation and short-circuiting it.
Note that this is still measurably slower than just a plain 'fstat()',
since just checking that the filename is actually empty is somewhat
expensive due to inevitable user space access overhead from the kernel
(ie verifying pointers, and SMAP on x86). But it's still quite a bit
faster than actually looking up the path for real.
To quote numers from Mateusz:
"Sapphire Rapids, will-it-scale, ops/s
stock fstat 5088199
patched fstat 7625244 (+49%)
real fstat 8540383 (+67% / +12%)"
where that 'stock fstat' is the glibc translation of fstat into
fstatat() with an empty path, the 'patched fstat' is with this short
circuiting of the path lookup, and the 'real fstat' is the actual native
fstat() system call with none of this overhead.

The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around 1 per jiffy,
even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of
exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are
subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other
applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g backup
applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the
situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
What we need is a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried.
POSIX generally mandates that when the the mtime changes, the ctime must
also change. The kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so only
the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Use the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that something
has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag is set,
on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a fine-grained
timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Later patches will convert individual filesystems to use the new
infrastructure.

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

The NFS server has a lot of special handling for different types of
change attribute access, depending on the underlying filesystem. In
most cases, it's doing a getattr anyway and then fetching that value
after the fact.
Rather that do that, add a new STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE flag that is a
kernel-only symbol (for now). If requested and getattr can implement it,
it can fill out this field. For IS_I_VERSION inodes, add a generic
implementation in vfs_getattr_nosec. Take care to mask
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE off in requests from userland and in the result
mask.
Since not all filesystems can give the same guarantees of monotonicity,
claim a STATX_ATTR_CHANGE_MONOTONIC flag that filesystems can set to
indicate that they offer an i_version value that can never go backward.
Eventually if we decide to make the i_version available to userland, we
can just designate a field for it in struct statx, and move the
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE definition to the uapi header.

Add support for STATX_DIOALIGN to block devices, so that direct I/O
alignment restrictions are exposed to userspace in a generic way.
Note that this breaks the tradition of stat operating only on the block
device node, not the block device itself. However, it was felt that
doing this is preferable, in order to make the interface useful and
avoid needing separate interfaces for regular files and block devices.

Traditionally, the conditions for when DIO (direct I/O) is supported
were fairly simple. For both block devices and regular files, DIO had
to be aligned to the logical block size of the block device.
However, due to filesystem features that have been added over time (e.g.
multi-device support, data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity,
compression, checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode), the conditions
for when DIO is allowed on a regular file have gotten increasingly
complex. Whether a particular regular file supports DIO, and with what
alignment, can depend on various file attributes and filesystem mount
options, as well as which block device(s) the file's data is located on.
Moreover, the general rule of DIO needing to be aligned to the block
device's logical block size was recently relaxed to allow user buffers
(but not file offsets) aligned to the DMA alignment instead. See
commit bf8d08532b ("iomap: add support for dma aligned direct-io").
XFS has an ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO that exposes DIO alignment information.
Uplifting this to the VFS is one possibility. However, as discussed
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20220120071215.123274-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u),
this ioctl is rarely used and not known to be used outside of
XFS-specific code. It was also never intended to indicate when a file
doesn't support DIO at all, nor was it intended for block devices.
Therefore, let's expose this information via statx(). Add the
STATX_DIOALIGN flag and two new statx fields associated with it:
* stx_dio_mem_align: the alignment (in bytes) required for user memory
buffers for DIO, or 0 if DIO is not supported on the file.
* stx_dio_offset_align: the alignment (in bytes) required for file
offsets and I/O segment lengths for DIO, or 0 if DIO is not supported
on the file. This will only be nonzero if stx_dio_mem_align is
nonzero, and vice versa.
Note that as with other statx() extensions, if STATX_DIOALIGN isn't set
in the returned statx struct, then these new fields won't be filled in.
This will happen if the file is neither a regular file nor a block
device, or if the file is a regular file and the filesystem doesn't
support STATX_DIOALIGN. It might also happen if the caller didn't
include STATX_DIOALIGN in the request mask, since statx() isn't required
to return unrequested information.
This commit only adds the VFS-level plumbing for STATX_DIOALIGN. For
regular files, individual filesystems will still need to add code to
support it. For block devices, a separate commit will wire it up too.

IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.
With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.
fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

Pull DAX updates part one from Darrick Wong:
"After many years of LKML-wrangling about how to enable programs to
query and influence the file data access mode (DAX) when a filesystem
resides on storage devices such as persistent memory, Ira Weiny has
emerged with a proposed set of standard behaviors that has not been
shot down by anyone! We're more or less standardizing on the current
XFS behavior and adapting ext4 to do the same.
This is the first of a handful pull requests that will make ext4 and
XFS present a consistent interface for user programs that care about
DAX. We add a statx attribute that programs can check to see if DAX is
enabled on a particular file. Then, we update the DAX documentation to
spell out the user-visible behaviors that filesystems will guarantee
(until the next storage industry shakeup). The on-disk inode flag has
been in XFS for a few years now.

In order for users to determine if a file is currently operating in DAX
state (effective DAX). Define a statx attribute value and set that
attribute if the effective DAX flag is set.
To go along with this we propose the following addition to the statx man
page:
STATX_ATTR_DAX
The file is in the DAX (cpu direct access) state. DAX state
attempts to minimize software cache effects for both I/O and
memory mappings of this file. It requires a file system which
has been configured to support DAX.
DAX generally assumes all accesses are via cpu load / store
instructions which can minimize overhead for small accesses, but
may adversely affect cpu utilization for large transfers.
File I/O is done directly to/from user-space buffers and memory
mapped I/O may be performed with direct memory mappings that
bypass kernel page cache.
While the DAX property tends to result in data being transferred
synchronously, it does not give the same guarantees of O_SYNC
where data and the necessary metadata are transferred together.
A DAX file may support being mapped with the MAP_SYNC flag,
which enables a program to use CPU cache flush instructions to
persist CPU store operations without an explicit fsync(2). See
mmap(2) for more information.

We have four generations of stat() syscalls:
- the oldstat syscalls that are only used on the older architectures
- the newstat family that is used on all 64-bit architectures but
lacked support for large files on 32-bit architectures.
- the stat64 family that is used mostly on 32-bit architectures to
replace newstat
- statx() to replace all of the above, adding 64-bit timestamps among
other things.
We already compile stat64 only on those architectures that need it,
but newstat is always built, including on those that don't reference
it. This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT symbol along the lines of
__ARCH_WANT_OLD_STAT and __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 to control compilation of
newstat. All architectures that need it use an explict define, the
others now get a little bit smaller, and future architecture (including
64-bit targets) won't ever see it.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

It results in the error EINVAL for a NULL pathname. Other system calls

The solution is simply to remove the EINVAL check. As I already pointed

I found that statx() was significantly slower than stat(). As a
microbenchmark, I compared 10,000,000 invocations of fstat() on a tmpfs
file to the same with statx() passed a NULL path:
$ time ./stat_benchmark
real 0m1.464s
user 0m0.275s
sys 0m1.187s
$ time ./statx_benchmark
real 0m5.530s
user 0m0.281s
sys 0m5.247s
statx is expected to be a little slower than stat because struct statx
is larger than struct stat, but not by *that* much. It turns out that
most of the overhead was in copying struct statx to userspace, mostly in
all the stac/clac instructions that got generated for each __put_user()
call. (This was on x86_64, but some other architectures, e.g. arm64,
have something similar now too.)
stat() instead initializes its struct on the stack and copies it to
userspace with a single call to copy_to_user(). This turns out to be
much faster, and changing statx to do this makes it almost as fast as
stat:
$ time ./statx_benchmark
real 0m1.624s
user 0m0.270s
sys 0m1.354s
For zeroing the reserved fields, start by zeroing the full struct with
memset. This makes it clear that every byte copied to userspace is
initialized, even implicit padding bytes (though there are none
currently). In the scenarios I tested, it also performed the same as a
designated initializer. Manually initializing each field was still
slightly faster, but would have been more error-prone and less
verifiable.
Also rename statx_set_result() to cp_statx() for consistency with
cp_old_stat() et al., and make it noinline so that struct statx doesn't
add to the stack usage during the main portion of the syscall execution.
