eventpoll: simplify sysctl declaration with register_sysctl()

2022-01-22T06:33:35+00:00

The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the epoll_table sysctl to fs/eventpoll.c and use
register_sysctl().

fs/select: avoid clang stack usage warning

2019-05-15T02:52:48+00:00

The select() implementation is carefully tuned to put a sensible amount
of data on the stack for holding a copy of the user space fd_set, but
not too large to risk overflowing the kernel stack.

When building a 32-bit kernel with clang, we need a little more space
than with gcc, which often triggers a warning:

  fs/select.c:619:5: error: stack frame size of 1048 bytes in function 'core_sys_select' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
  int core_sys_select(int n, fd_set __user *inp, fd_set __user *outp,

I experimentally found that for 32-bit ARM, reducing the maximum stack
usage by 64 bytes keeps us reliably under the warning limit again.

Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL

2018-06-28T17:40:47+00:00

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

fs: introduce new ->get_poll_head and ->poll_mask methods

2018-05-26T07:16:44+00:00

->get_poll_head returns the waitqueue that the poll operation is going
to sleep on.  Note that this means we can only use a single waitqueue
for the poll, unlike some current drivers that use two waitqueues for
different events.  But now that we have keyed wakeups and heavily use
those for poll there aren't that many good reason left to keep the
multiple waitqueues, and if there are any ->poll is still around, the
driver just won't support aio poll.

unify {de,}mangle_poll(), get rid of kernel-side POLL...

2018-02-11T22:37:22+00:00

except, again, POLLFREE and POLL_BUSY_LOOP.

With this, we finally get to the promised end result:

 - POLL{IN,OUT,...} are plain integers and *not* in __poll_t, so any
   stray instances of ->poll() still using those will be caught by
   sparse.

 - eventpoll.c and select.c warning-free wrt __poll_t

 - no more kernel-side definitions of POLL... - userland ones are
   visible through the entire kernel (and used pretty much only for
   mangle/demangle)

 - same behavior as after the first series (i.e. sparc et.al. epoll(2)
   working correctly).
