Before the change page_owner recursion was detected via fetching
backtrace and inspecting it for current instruction pointer.
It has a few problems:
- it is slightly slow as it requires extra backtrace and a linear stack
scan of the result
- it is too late to check if backtrace fetching required memory
allocation itself (ia64's unwinder requires it).
To simplify recursion tracking let's use page_owner recursion flag in
'struct task_struct'.
The change make page_owner=on work on ia64 by avoiding infinite
recursion in:
kmalloc()
-> __set_page_owner()
-> save_stack()
-> unwind() [ia64-specific]
-> build_script()
-> kmalloc()
-> __set_page_owner() [we short-circuit here]
-> save_stack()
-> unwind() [recursion]

The idea for this originates from the real time tree to make signal
delivery for realtime applications more efficient. In quite some of these
application scenarios a control tasks signals workers to start their
computations. There is usually only one signal per worker on flight. This
works nicely as long as the kmem cache allocations do not hit the slow path
and cause latencies.
To cure this an optimistic caching was introduced (limited to RT tasks)
which allows a task to cache a single sigqueue in a pointer in task_struct
instead of handing it back to the kmem cache after consuming a signal. When
the next signal is sent to the task then the cached sigqueue is used
instead of allocating a new one. This solved the problem for this set of
application scenarios nicely.
The task cache is not preallocated so the first signal sent to a task goes
always to the cache allocator. The cached sigqueue stays around until the
task exits and is freed when task::sighand is dropped.
After posting this solution for mainline the discussion came up whether
this would be useful in general and should not be limited to realtime
tasks: https://lore.kernel.org/r/m11rcu7nbr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org
One concern leading to the original limitation was to avoid a large amount
of pointlessly cached sigqueues in alive tasks. The other concern was
vs. RLIMIT_SIGPENDING as these cached sigqueues are not accounted for.
The accounting problem is real, but on the other hand slightly academic.
After gathering some statistics it turned out that after boot of a regular
distro install there are less than 10 sigqueues cached in ~1500 tasks.
In case of a 'mass fork and fire signal to child' scenario the extra 80
bytes of memory per task are well in the noise of the overall memory
consumption of the fork bomb.
If this should be limited then this would need an extra counter in struct
user, more atomic instructions and a seperate rlimit. Yet another tunable
which is mostly unused.
The caching is actually used. After boot and a full kernel compile on a
64CPU machine with make -j128 the number of 'allocations' looks like this:
From slab: 23996
From task cache: 52223
I.e. it reduces the number of slab cache operations by ~68%.
A typical pattern there is:
<...>-58490 __sigqueue_alloc: for 58488 from slab ffff8881132df460
<...>-58488 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881132df460
<...>-58488 __sigqueue_alloc: for 1149 from cache ffff8881103dc550
bash-1149 exit_task_sighand: free ffff8881132df460
bash-1149 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881103dc550
The interesting sequence is that the exiting task 58488 grabs the sigqueue
from bash's task cache to signal exit and bash sticks it back into it's own
cache. Lather, rinse and repeat.
The caching is probably not noticable for the general use case, but the
benefit for latency sensitive applications is clear. While kmem caches are
usually just serving from the fast path the slab merging (default) can
depending on the usage pattern of the merged slabs cause occasional slow
path allocations.
The time spared per cached entry is a few micro seconds per signal which is
not relevant for e.g. a kernel build, but for signal heavy workloads it's
measurable.
As there is no real downside of this caching mechanism making it
unconditionally available is preferred over more conditional code or new
magic tunables.

RT requires the softirq processing and local bottomhalf disabled regions to
be preemptible. Using the normal preempt count based serialization is
therefore not possible because this implicitely disables preemption.
RT kernels use a per CPU local lock to serialize bottomhalfs. As
local_bh_disable() can nest the lock can only be acquired on the outermost
invocation of local_bh_disable() and released when the nest count becomes
zero. Tasks which hold the local lock can be preempted so its required to
keep track of the nest count per task.
Add a RT only counter to task struct and adjust the relevant macros in
preempt.h.

To access per-task data, BPF programs usually creates a hash table with
pid as the key. This is not ideal because:
1. The user need to estimate the proper size of the hash table, which may
be inaccurate;
2. Big hash tables are slow;
3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need
to write extra logic.
Task local storage overcomes these issues and offers a better option for
these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now
enable it for tracing programs.
Unlike LSM programs, tracing programs can be called in IRQ contexts.
Helpers that access task local storage are updated to use
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of raw_spin_lock_bh().
Tracing programs can attach to functions on the task free path, e.g.
exit_creds(). To avoid allocating task local storage after
bpf_task_storage_free(). bpf_task_storage_get() is updated to not allocate
new storage when the task is not refcounted (task->usage == 0).

Instead of using regular kthread kernel threads, create kernel threads
that are like a real thread that the task would create. This ensures that
we get all the context that we need, without having to carry that state
around. This greatly reduces the code complexity, and the risk of missing
state for a given request type.
With the move away from kthread, we can also dump everything related to
assigned state to the new threads.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls
- Raise the maximum number of user memslots
- Scalability improvements for the new MMU.
Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in
mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent,
but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now
only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will
be extended to some cases of page table destruction. I hope to
switch the default MMU around 5.12-rc3 (some testing was delayed
due to Chinese New Year).

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:
- Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.
- Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
when scheduling back in.
- Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
interface available which does not disable preemption when a
mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
across preemption.
- Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
architecture allows it.
- Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
work around these side effects.
The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for entry/exit handling:
- More generalization of entry/exit functionality
- The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.
- The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
going to come seperate via Jens.
- The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.
- Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
and protection.
- Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
restart mechanism"

Introduce a mechanism to quickly disable/enable syscall handling for a
specific process and redirect to userspace via SIGSYS. This is useful
for processes with parts that require syscall redirection and parts that
don't, but who need to perform this boundary crossing really fast,
without paying the cost of a system call to reconfigure syscall handling
on each boundary transition. This is particularly important for Windows
games running over Wine.
The proposed interface looks like this:
prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, <op>, <off>, <length>, [selector])
The range [<offset>,<offset>+<length>) is a part of the process memory
map that is allowed to by-pass the redirection code and dispatch
syscalls directly, such that in fast paths a process doesn't need to
disable the trap nor the kernel has to check the selector. This is
essential to return from SIGSYS to a blocked area without triggering
another SIGSYS from rt_sigreturn.
selector is an optional pointer to a char-sized userspace memory region
that has a key switch for the mechanism. This key switch is set to
either PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON, PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF to enable and disable the
redirection without calling the kernel.
The feature is meant to be set per-thread and it is disabled on
fork/clone/execv.
Internally, this doesn't add overhead to the syscall hot path, and it
requires very little per-architecture support. I avoided using seccomp,
even though it duplicates some functionality, due to previous feedback
that maybe it shouldn't mix with seccomp since it is not a security
mechanism. And obviously, this should never be considered a security
mechanism, since any part of the program can by-pass it by using the
syscall dispatcher.
For the sysinfo benchmark, which measures the overhead added to
executing a native syscall that doesn't require interception, the
overhead using only the direct dispatcher region to issue syscalls is
pretty much irrelevant. The overhead of using the selector goes around
40ns for a native (unredirected) syscall in my system, and it is (as
expected) dominated by the supervisor-mode user-address access. In
fact, with SMAP off, the overhead is consistently less than 5ns on my
test box.
