sync_file_range, readahead, fadvise64_64 which need argument

<title>signal: Deliver SIGTRAP on perf event asynchronously if blocked</title>
<updated>2022-04-22T10:14:05+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=78ed93d72ded679e3caf0758357209887bda885f'/>
<id>78ed93d72ded679e3caf0758357209887bda885f</id>
<content type='text'>
With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of
processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP.
Consider this case:

    &lt;set up SIGTRAP on a perf event&gt;
    ...
    sigset_t s;
    sigemptyset(&amp;s);
    sigaddset(&amp;s, SIGTRAP | &lt;and others&gt;);
    sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &amp;s, ...);
    ...
    &lt;perf event triggers&gt;

When the perf event triggers, while SIGTRAP is blocked, force_sig_perf()
will force the signal, but revert back to the default handler, thus
terminating the task.

This makes sense for error conditions, but not so much for explicitly
requested monitoring. However, the expectation is still that signals
generated by perf events are synchronous, which will no longer be the
case if the signal is blocked and delivered later.

To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from
asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and
TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is
required in future).

The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal
(avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags
if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be
handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider
the data imprecise).

The alternative of making the kernel ignore SIGTRAP on perf events if
the signal is blocked may work for some usecases, but likely causes
issues in others that then have to revert back to interception of
sigprocmask() (which we want to avoid). [ A concrete example: when using
breakpoint perf events to track data-flow, in a region of code where
signals are blocked, data-flow can no longer be tracked accurately.
When a relevant asynchronous signal is received after unblocking the
signal, the data-flow tracking logic needs to know its state is
imprecise. ]

The compat implementations for mbind, get_mempolicy, set_mempolicy and
migrate_pages are just there to handle the subtly different layout of
bitmaps on 32-bit hosts.

The compat implementation however lacks some of the checks that are
present in the native one, in particular for checking that the extra bits
are all zero when user space has a larger mask size than the kernel.
Worse, those extra bits do not get cleared when copying in or out of the
kernel, which can lead to incorrect data as well.

Unify the implementation to handle the compat bitmap layout directly in
the get_nodes() and copy_nodes_to_user() helpers.  Splitting out the
get_bitmap() helper from get_nodes() also helps readability of the native
case.

On x86, two additional problems are addressed by this: compat tasks can
pass a bitmap at the end of a mapping, causing a fault when reading across
the page boundary for a 64-bit word.  x32 tasks might also run into
problems with get_mempolicy corrupting data when an odd number of 32-bit
words gets passed.

On parisc the migrate_pages() system call apparently had the wrong calling
convention, as big-endian architectures expect the words inside of a
bitmap to be swapped.  This is not a problem though since parisc has no
NUMA support.

<title>compat: make linux/compat.h available everywhere</title>

Parts of linux/compat.h are under an #ifdef, but we end up
using more of those over time, moving things around bit by
bit.

To get it over with once and for all, make all of this file
uncondititonal now so it can be accessed everywhere. There
are only a few types left that are in asm/compat.h but not
yet in the asm-generic version, so add those in the process.

This requires providing a few more types in asm-generic/compat.h
that were not already there. The only tricky one is
compat_sigset_t, which needs a little help on 32-bit architectures
and for x86.

<title>x86: signal: don't do sas_ss_reset() until we are certain that sigframe won't be abandoned</title>

Currently we handle SS_AUTODISARM as soon as we have stored the altstack
settings into sigframe - that's the point when we have set the things up
for eventual sigreturn to restore the old settings.  And if we manage to
set the sigframe up (we are not done with that yet), everything's fine.
However, in case of failure we end up with sigframe-to-be abandoned and
SIGSEGV force-delivered.  And in that case we end up with inconsistent
rules - late failures have altstack reset, early ones do not.

It's trivial to get consistent behaviour - just handle SS_AUTODISARM once
we have set the sigframe up and are committed to entering the handler,
i.e.  in signal_delivered().
