Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
- A pidfd's fdinfo file currently contains the field "Pid:\t<pid>"
where <pid> is the pid of the process in the pid namespace of the
procfs instance the fdinfo file for the pidfd was opened in.
The fdinfo file has now gained a new "NSpid:\t<ns-pid1>[\t<ns-pid2>[...]]"
field which lists the pids of the process in all child pid namespaces
provided the pid namespace of the procfs instance it is looked up
under has an ancestoral relationship with the pid namespace of the
process. If it does not 0 will be shown and no further pid namespaces
will be listed. Tests included. (Christian Kellner)
- If the process the pidfd references has already exited, print -1 for
the Pid and NSpid fields in the pidfd's fdinfo file. Tests included.
(me)
- Add CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND. This lets callers clear all signal handler
that are not SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN at process creation time. This
originated as a feature request from glibc to improve performance and
elimate races in their posix_spawn() implementation. Tests included.
(me)
- Add support for choosing a specific pid for a process with clone3().
This is the feature which was part of the thread update for v5.4 but
after a discussion at LPC in Lisbon we decided to delay it for one
more cycle in order to make the interface more generic. This has now
done. It is now possible to choose a specific pid in a whole pid
namespaces (sub)hierarchy instead of just one pid namespace. In order
to choose a specific pid the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in all
owning user namespaces of the target pid namespaces. Tests included.
(Adrian Reber)
- Test improvements and extensions. (Andrei Vagin, me)

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"User visible changes:
- new block group profiles: RAID1 with 3- and 4- copies
- RAID1 in btrfs has always 2 copies, now add support for 3 and 4
- this is an incompat feature (named RAID1C34)
- recommended use of RAID1C3 is replacement of RAID6 profile on
metadata, this brings a more reliable resiliency against 2
device loss/damage
- support for new checksums
- per-filesystem, set at mkfs time
- fast hash (crc32c successor): xxhash, 64bit digest
- strong hashes (both 256bit): sha256 (slower, FIPS), blake2b
(faster)
- the blake2b module goes via the crypto tree, btrfs.ko has a
soft dependency
- speed up lseek, don't take inode locks unnecessarily, this can
speed up parallel SEEK_CUR/SEEK_SET/SEEK_END by 80%
- send:
- allow clone operations within the same file
- limit maximum number of sent clone references to avoid slow
backref walking
- error message improvements: device scan prints process name and PID
Core changes:
- cleanups
- remove unique workqueue helpers, used to provide a way to avoid
deadlocks in the workqueue code, now done in a simpler way
- remove lots of indirect function calls in compression code
- extent IO tree code moved out of extent_io.c
- cleanup backup superblock handling at mount time
- transaction life cycle documentation and cleanups
- locking code cleanups, annotations and documentation
- add more cold, const, pure function attributes
- removal of unused or redundant struct members or variables
- new tree-checker sanity tests
- try to detect missing INODE_ITEM, cross-reference checks of
DIR_ITEM, DIR_INDEX, INODE_REF, and XATTR_* items
- remove own bio scheduling code (used to avoid checksum submissions
being stuck behind other IO), replaced by cgroup controller-based
code to allow better control and avoid priority inversions in cases
where the custom and cgroup scheduling disagreed
Fixes:
- avoid getting stuck during cyclic writebacks

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
happy with them.
This contains:
- Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)
- Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
file sets without needing to unregister/register again.
- Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
applications.
- Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
backpressure on submits.
- Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.
- Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
generic async system call support.
- With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
built on top of that.
- Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)
- Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.
- Speedup tracking of poll requests
- Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
Bob, YueHaibing, me)
- Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

Add new block group profile to store 4 copies in a simliar way that
current RAID1 does. The profile attributes and constraints are defined
in the raid table and used by the same code that already handles the 2-
and 3-copy RAID1.
The minimum number of devices is 4, the maximum number of devices/chunks
that can be lost/damaged is 3. There is no comparable traditional RAID
level, the profile is added for future needs to accompany triple-parity
and beyond.

The main motivation to add set_tid to clone3() is CRIU.
To restore a process with the same PID/TID CRIU currently uses
/proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid. It writes the desired (PID - 1) to
ns_last_pid and then (quickly) does a clone(). This works most of the
time, but it is racy. It is also slow as it requires multiple syscalls.
Extending clone3() to support *set_tid makes it possible restore a
process using CRIU without accessing /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid and
race free (as long as the desired PID/TID is available).
This clone3() extension places the same restrictions (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
on clone3() with *set_tid as they are currently in place for ns_last_pid.
The original version of this change was using a single value for
set_tid. At the 2019 LPC, after presenting set_tid, it was, however,
decided to change set_tid to an array to enable setting the PID of a
process in multiple PID namespaces at the same time. If a process is
created in a PID namespace it is possible to influence the PID inside
and outside of the PID namespace. Details also in the corresponding
selftest.
To create a process with the following PIDs:
PID NS level Requested PID
0 (host) 31496
1 42
2 1
For that example the two newly introduced parameters to struct
clone_args (set_tid and set_tid_size) would need to be:
set_tid[0] = 1;
set_tid[1] = 42;
set_tid[2] = 31496;
set_tid_size = 3;
If only the PIDs of the two innermost nested PID namespaces should be
defined it would look like this:
set_tid[0] = 1;
set_tid[1] = 42;
set_tid_size = 2;
The PID of the newly created process would then be the next available
free PID in the PID namespace level 0 (host) and 42 in the PID namespace
at level 1 and the PID of the process in the innermost PID namespace
would be 1.
The set_tid array is used to specify the PID of a process starting
from the innermost nested PID namespaces up to set_tid_size PID namespaces.
set_tid_size cannot be larger then the current PID namespace level.

Add a statx attribute bit STATX_ATTR_VERITY which will be set if the
file has fs-verity enabled. This is the statx() equivalent of
FS_VERITY_FL which is returned by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.
This is useful because it allows applications to check whether a file is
a verity file without opening it. Opening a verity file can be
expensive because the fsverity_info is set up on open, which involves
parsing metadata and optionally verifying a cryptographic signature.
This is analogous to how various other bits are exposed through both
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and statx(), e.g. the encrypt bit.

Currently we drop completion events, if the CQ ring is full. That's fine
for requests with bounded completion times, but it may make it harder or
impossible to use io_uring with networked IO where request completion
times are generally unbounded. Or with POLL, for example, which is also
unbounded.
After this patch, we never overflow the ring, we simply store requests
in a backlog for later flushing. This flushing is done automatically by
the kernel. To prevent the backlog from growing indefinitely, if the
backlog is non-empty, we apply back pressure on IO submissions. Any
attempt to submit new IO with a non-empty backlog will get an -EBUSY
return from the kernel. This is a signal to the application that it has
backlogged CQ events, and that it must reap those before being allowed

Note that if we do return -EBUSY, we will have filled whatever
backlogged events into the CQ ring first, if there's room. This means
the application can safely reap events WITHOUT entering the kernel and
waiting for them, they are already available in the CQ ring.

While we have support for generic timeouts, we don't have a way to tie
a timeout to a specific SQE. The generic timeouts simply trigger wakeups
on the CQ ring.
This adds support for IORING_OP_LINK_TIMEOUT. This command is only valid
as a link to a previous command. The timeout specific can be either
relative or absolute, following the same rules as IORING_OP_TIMEOUT. If
the timeout triggers before the dependent command completes, it will
attempt to cancel that command. Likewise, if the dependent command
completes before the timeout triggers, it will cancel the timeout.

Inline encryption hardware compliant with the UFS v2.1 standard or with
the upcoming version of the eMMC standard has the following properties:
(1) Per I/O request, the encryption key is specified by a previously
loaded keyslot. There might be only a small number of keyslots.
(2) Per I/O request, the starting IV is specified by a 64-bit "data unit
number" (DUN). IV bits 64-127 are assumed to be 0. The hardware
automatically increments the DUN for each "data unit" of
configurable size in the request, e.g. for each filesystem block.
Property (1) makes it inefficient to use the traditional fscrypt
per-file keys. Property (2) precludes the use of the existing
DIRECT_KEY fscrypt policy flag, which needs at least 192 IV bits.
Therefore, add a new fscrypt policy flag IV_INO_LBLK_64 which causes the
encryption to modified as follows:
- The encryption keys are derived from the master key, encryption mode
number, and filesystem UUID.
- The IVs are chosen as (inode_number << 32) | file_logical_block_num.
For filenames encryption, file_logical_block_num is 0.
Since the file nonces aren't used in the key derivation, many files may
share the same encryption key. This is much more efficient on the
target hardware. Including the inode number in the IVs and mixing the
filesystem UUID into the keys ensures that data in different files is
nevertheless still encrypted differently.
Additionally, limiting the inode and block numbers to 32 bits and
placing the block number in the low bits maintains compatibility with
the 64-bit DUN convention (property (2) above).
Since this scheme assumes that inode numbers are stable (which may
preclude filesystem shrinking) and that inode and file logical block
numbers are at most 32-bit, IV_INO_LBLK_64 will only be allowed on
filesystems that meet these constraints. These are acceptable
limitations for the cases where this format would actually be used.
Note that IV_INO_LBLK_64 is an on-disk format, not an implementation.
This patch just adds support for it using the existing filesystem layer
encryption. A later patch will add support for inline encryption.

Pull clone3 stack argument update from Christian Brauner:
"This changes clone3() to do basic stack validation and to set up the
stack depending on whether or not it is growing up or down.
With clone3() the expectation is now very simply that the .stack
argument points to the lowest address of the stack and that
.stack_size specifies the initial stack size. This is diferent from
legacy clone() where the "stack" argument had to point to the lowest
or highest address of the stack depending on the architecture.
clone3() was released with 5.3. Currently, it is not documented and
very unclear to userspace how the stack and stack_size argument have
to be passed. After talking to glibc folks we concluded that changing
clone3() to determine stack direction and doing basic validation is
the right course of action.
Note, this is a potentially user visible change. In the very unlikely
case, that it breaks someone's use-case we will revert. (And then e.g.
place the new behavior under an appropriate flag.)
Note that passing an empty stack will continue working just as before.
Breaking someone's use-case is very unlikely. Neither glibc nor musl
currently expose a wrapper for clone3(). There is currently also no
real motivation for anyone to use clone3() directly. First, because
using clone{3}() with stacks requires some assembly (see glibc and
musl). Second, because it does not provide features that legacy
clone() doesn't. New features for clone3() will first happen in v5.5
which is why v5.4 is still a good time to try and make that change now
and backport it to v5.3.
I did a codesearch on https://codesearch.debian.net, github, and
gitlab and could not find any software currently relying directly on
clone3(). I expect this to change once we land CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND
which was a request coming from glibc at which point they'll likely
start using it"

clone3: validate stack arguments
|
|
Validate the stack arguments and setup the stack depening on whether or not
it is growing down or up.
Legacy clone() required userspace to know in which direction the stack is
growing and pass down the stack pointer appropriately. To make things more
confusing microblaze uses a variant of the clone() syscall selected by
CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS3 that takes an additional stack_size argument.
IA64 has a separate clone2() syscall which also takes an additional
stack_size argument. Finally, parisc has a stack that is growing upwards.
Userspace therefore has a lot nasty code like the following:
#define __STACK_SIZE (8 * 1024 * 1024)
pid_t sys_clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *arg, int flags, int *pidfd)
{
pid_t ret;
void *stack;
stack = malloc(__STACK_SIZE);
if (!stack)
return -ENOMEM;
#ifdef __ia64__
ret = __clone2(fn, stack, __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#elif defined(__parisc__) /* stack grows up */
ret = clone(fn, stack, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#else
ret = clone(fn, stack + __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
#endif
return ret;
}
or even crazier variants such as [3].
With clone3() we have the ability to validate the stack. We can check that
when stack_size is passed, the stack pointer is valid and the other way
around. We can also check that the memory area userspace gave us is fine to
use via access_ok(). Furthermore, we probably should not require
userspace to know in which direction the stack is growing. It is easy
for us to do this in the kernel and I couldn't find the original
reasoning behind exposing this detail to userspace.
/* Intentional user visible API change */
clone3() was released with 5.3. Currently, it is not documented and very
unclear to userspace how the stack and stack_size argument have to be
passed. After talking to glibc folks we concluded that trying to change
clone3() to setup the stack instead of requiring userspace to do this is
the right course of action.
Note, that this is an explicit change in user visible behavior we introduce

e.g. place the new behavior under an appropriate flag.)

change now and backport it to v5.3. Searches on [4] did not reveal any
packages calling clone3().

This feature gives the user RW access to any opal table with admin1
authority. The flags described in the new structure determines if the user
wants to read/write the data. Flags are checked for valid values in
order to allow future features to be added to the ioctl.
The user can provide the desired table's UID. Also, the ioctl provides a
size and offset field and internally will loop data accesses to return
the full data block. Read overrun is prevented by the initiator's
sec_send_recv() backend. The ioctl provides a private field with the
intention to accommodate any future expansions to the ioctl.

This adds support for IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL, which will attempt to
cancel requests that have been punted to async context and are now
in-flight. This works for regular read/write requests to files, as
long as they haven't been started yet. For socket based IO (or things
like accept4(2)), we can cancel work that is already running as well.
To cancel a request, the sqe must have ->addr set to the user_data of
the request it wishes to cancel. If the request is cancelled
successfully, the original request is completed with -ECANCELED
and the cancel request is completed with a result of 0. If the
request was already running, the original may or may not complete
in error. The cancel request will complete with -EALREADY for that
case. And finally, if the request to cancel wasn't found, the cancel
request is completed with -ENOENT.

We currently size the CQ ring as twice the SQ ring, to allow some
flexibility in not overflowing the CQ ring. This is done because the
SQE life time is different than that of the IO request itself, the SQE
is consumed as soon as the kernel has seen the entry.
Certain application don't need a huge SQ ring size, since they just
submit IO in batches. But they may have a lot of requests pending, and
hence need a big CQ ring to hold them all. By allowing the application
to control the CQ ring size multiplier, we can cater to those
applications more efficiently.
If an application wants to define its own CQ ring size, it must set
IORING_SETUP_CQSIZE in the setup flags, and fill out
io_uring_params->cq_entries. The value must be a power of two.

Allows the application to remove/replace/add files to/from a file set.
Passes in a struct:
struct io_uring_files_update {
__u32 offset;
__s32 *fds;
};
that holds an array of fds, size of array passed in through the usual
nr_args part of the io_uring_register() system call. The logic is as
follows:
1) If ->fds[i] is -1, the existing file at i + ->offset is removed from
the set.
2) If ->fds[i] is a valid fd, the existing file at i + ->offset is
replaced with ->fds[i].
For case #2, is the existing file is currently empty (fd == -1), the
new fd is simply added to the array.

Reset all signal handlers of the child not set to SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL.
Mutually exclusive with CLONE_SIGHAND to not disturb other thread's
signal handler.
In the spirit of closer cooperation between glibc developers and kernel
developers (cf. [2]) this patchset came out of a discussion on the glibc
mailing list for improving posix_spawn() (cf. [1], [3], [4]). Kernel
support for this feature has been explicitly requested by glibc and I
see no reason not to help them with this.
The child helper process on Linux posix_spawn must ensure that no signal
handlers are enabled, so the signal disposition must be either SIG_DFL
or SIG_IGN. However, it requires a sigprocmask to obtain the current
signal mask and at least _NSIG sigaction calls to reset the signal
handlers for each posix_spawn call or complex state tracking that might
lead to data corruption in glibc. Adding this flags lets glibc avoid
these problems.

User space can set an attribute on the VCPU providing the IPA base
address of the stolen time structure for that VCPU. This must be

In some scenarios, such as buggy guest or incorrect configuration of the
VMM and firmware description data, userspace will detect a memory access
to a portion of the IPA, which is not mapped to any MMIO region.
For this purpose, the appropriate action is to inject an external abort
to the guest. The kernel already has functionality to inject an
external abort, but we need to wire up a signal from user space that
lets user space tell the kernel to do this.
It turns out, we already have the set event functionality which we can
perfectly reuse for this.

For a long time, if a guest accessed memory outside of a memslot using
any of the load/store instructions in the architecture which doesn't
supply decoding information in the ESR_EL2 (the ISV bit is not set), the
kernel would print the following message and terminate the VM as a
result of returning -ENOSYS to userspace:
load/store instruction decoding not implemented
The reason behind this message is that KVM assumes that all accesses
outside a memslot is an MMIO access which should be handled by
userspace, and we originally expected to eventually implement some sort
of decoding of load/store instructions where the ISV bit was not set.
However, it turns out that many of the instructions which don't provide
decoding information on abort are not safe to use for MMIO accesses, and
the remaining few that would potentially make sense to use on MMIO
accesses, such as those with register writeback, are not used in
practice. It also turns out that fetching an instruction from guest
memory can be a pretty horrible affair, involving stopping all CPUs on
SMP systems, handling multiple corner cases of address translation in
software, and more. It doesn't appear likely that we'll ever implement
this in the kernel.
What is much more common is that a user has misconfigured his/her guest
and is actually not accessing an MMIO region, but just hitting some
random hole in the IPA space. In this scenario, the error message above
is almost misleading and has led to a great deal of confusion over the
years.
It is, nevertheless, ABI to userspace, and we therefore need to
introduce a new capability that userspace explicitly enables to change
behavior.
This patch introduces KVM_CAP_ARM_NISV_TO_USER (NISV meaning Non-ISV)
which does exactly that, and introduces a new exit reason to report the
event to userspace. User space can then emulate an exception to the
guest, restart the guest, suspend the guest, or take any other
appropriate action as per the policy of the running system.

Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out
from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to
copy a struct from userspace.
The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of
which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility,
i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.
The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.
This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
rejects differently-sized struct arguments.
