7ba0273b2f kernfs: switch kernfs to use an rwsem
The kernfs global lock restricts the ability to perform kernfs node
lookup operations in parallel during path walks.

Change the kernfs mutex to an rwsem so that, when opportunity arises,
node searches can be done in parallel with path walk lookups.

895adbec30 kernfs: add a revision to identify directory node changes
Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used
to detect if a directory node has changed during negative dentry
revalidation.

There's an assumption that sizeof(unsigned long) <= sizeof(pointer)
on all architectures and as far as I know that assumption holds.

So adding a revision counter to the struct kernfs_elem_dir variant of
the kernfs_node type union won't increase the size of the kernfs_node
struct. This is because struct kernfs_elem_dir is at least
sizeof(pointer) smaller than the largest union variant. It's tempting
to make the revision counter a u64 but that would increase the size of
kernfs_node on archs where sizeof(pointer) is smaller than the revision
counter.

0c47383ba3 kernfs: Add option to enable user xattrs
User extended attributes are useful as metadata storage for kernfs
consumers like cgroups. Especially in the case of cgroups, it is useful
to have a central metadata store that multiple processes/services can
use to coordinate actions.

A concrete example is for userspace out of memory killers. We want to
let delegated cgroup subtree owners (running as non-root) to be able to
say "please avoid killing this cgroup". This is especially important for
desktop linux as delegated subtrees owners are less likely to run as
root.

This patch introduces a new flag, KERNFS_ROOT_SUPPORT_USER_XATTR, that
lets kernfs consumers enable user xattr support. An initial limit of 128
entries or 128KB -- whichever is hit first -- is placed per cgroup
because xattrs come from kernel memory and we don't want to let
unprivileged users accidentally eat up too much kernel memory.

40430452fd kernfs: use 64bit inos if ino_t is 64bit
Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID.  The low 32bit is
exposed as ino and the high gen.  While this already allows using inos
as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's
adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can
directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup
instance.

This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs.  The
conversion is mostly straight-forward.

* 32bit ino archs behave the same as before.  64bit ino archs now use
  the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1.

* 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the
  lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the
  high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap.  As the
  upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino
  allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits
  allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs.

* blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify
  the issuing cgroup.  Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from
  these numbers to look up the cgroups.  To remain compatible with the
  behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed
  back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

fe0f726c9f kernfs: combine ino/id lookup functions into kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino.  On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.

On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen?  In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1.  There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.

Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it,
and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().

67c0496e87 kernfs: convert kernfs_node->id from union kernfs_node_id to u64
kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value.  I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to.  Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.

This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper.  Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen.  This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.

This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

e23f568aa6 kernfs: fix ino wrap-around detection
When the 32bit ino wraps around, kernfs increments the generation
number to distinguish reused ino instances.  The wrap-around detection
tests whether the allocated ino is lower than what the cursor but the
cursor is pointing to the next ino to allocate so the condition never
triggers.

Fix it by remembering the last ino and comparing against that.

1537ad15c9 kernfs: fix xattr name handling in LSM helpers
The implementation of kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers reuses the
kernfs_node_xattr_*() functions, which take the suffix of the xattr name
and extract full xattr name from it using xattr_full_name(). However,
this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr
handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just
incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers
of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by moving the xattr name reconstruction to the VFS xattr
handlers and replacing the kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers with more
general kernfs_xattr_*() helpers that take full xattr name and allow
accessing all kernfs node's xattrs.

b230d5aba2 LSM: add new hook for kernfs node initialization
This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created kernfs nodes, which
provide a way of storing a non-default security context, but need to
operate independently from mounts (and therefore may not have an
associated inode at the moment of creation).

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.

This patch also adds helper functions to <linux/kernfs.h> for
getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are
able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible
direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then
new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs
them).

147e1a97c4 fs: kernfs: add poll file operation
Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v3.

Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.

Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible.  Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now.

This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.

As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.

With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user.  For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.

In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x
less false positives compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to
specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of
Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act
accordingly.

The new interface is straightforward.  The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:

        /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
        char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000";
        fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory");
        write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger));
        while (poll() >= 0) {
                ...
        }
        close(fd);

When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.

The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.

Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 5
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.

The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.

This patch (of 5):

Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes.  To allow polling for
custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.

This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
per-fd trigger configurations.

23bf1b6be9 kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context
Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.

This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.

Notes:

 (1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
     kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).

 (2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree().  The extra
     namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired

 (3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
     kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
     get called in the right places.

 (4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
     pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
     add a parameter in future.

 (5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
     the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.

 (6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
     which allows userspace to collect them directly.

 (7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
     than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.

Weirdies:

 (*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
     but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks.  I'm
     told this is okay and needs commenting.

 (*) The cgroup refcount web.  This really needs documenting.

 (*) cgroup2 only has one root?

Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.

generation into a separate structure. It's convenient when later patches
use the identification.

4a3ef68aca kernfs: implement i_generation
Set i_generation for kernfs inode. This is required to implement
exportfs operations. The generation is 32-bit, so it's possible the
generation wraps up and we find stale files. To reduce the posssibility,
we don't reuse inode numer immediately. When the inode number allocation
wraps, we increase generation number. In this way generation/inode
number consist of a 64-bit number which is unlikely duplicated. This
does make the idr tree more sparse and waste some memory. Since idr
manages 32-bit keys, idr uses a 6-level radix tree, each level covers 6
bits of the key. In a 100k inode kernfs, the worst case will have around
300k radix tree node. Each node is 576bytes, so the tree will use about
~150M memory. Sounds not too bad, if this really is a problem, we should
find better data structure.
