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.

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

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.

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

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.
