mm: shm: use new hugetlb size encoding definitions

2017-09-07T00:27:28+00:00

Use the common definitions from hugetlb_encode.h header file for
encoding hugetlb size definitions in shmget system call flags.

In addition, move these definitions from the internal (kernel) to user
(uapi) header file.

ipc: shm: Make shmid_kernel timestamps y2038 safe

2017-09-04T00:24:29+00:00

time_t is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of
time_t by y2038 safe time64_t.

Similarly, replace the calls to get_seconds() with
y2038 safe ktime_get_real_seconds().
Note that this preserves fast access on 64 bit systems,
but 32 bit systems need sequence counters.

The syscall interfaces themselves are not changed as part of
the patch. They will be part of a different series.

randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

2017-06-30T19:00:51+00:00

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

ipc/shm.c: is_file_shm_hugepages() can be boolean

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Make is_file_shm_hugepages() return bool to improve readability due to
this particular function only using either one or zero as its return
value.

No functional change.

shm: remove unneeded extern for function

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

A small cleanup while changing adjacent code.  Extern is not needed for

shm: make exit_shm work proportional to task activity

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

This is small set of patches our team has had kicking around for a few
versions internally that fixes tasks getting hung on shm_exit when there
are many threads hammering it at once.

Anton wrote a simple test to cause the issue:

  http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/bust_shm_exit.c

Before applying this patchset, this test code will cause either hanging
tracebacks or pthread out of memory errors.

After this patchset, it will still produce output like:

  root@somehost:~# ./bust_shm_exit 1024 160
  ...
  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: {} (detected by 116, t=2111 jiffies, g=241, c=240, q=7113)
  INFO: Stall ended before state dump start
  ...

But the task will continue to run along happily, so we consider this an
improvement over hanging, even if it's a bit noisy.

This patch (of 3):

exit_shm obtains the ipc_ns shm rwsem for write and holds it while it
walks every shared memory segment in the namespace.  Thus the amount of
work is related to the number of shm segments in the namespace not the
number of segments that might need to be cleaned.

In addition, this occurs after the task has been notified the thread has
exited, so the number of tasks waiting for the ns shm rwsem can grow
without bound until memory is exausted.

Add a list to the task struct of all shmids allocated by this task.  Init
the list head in copy_process.  Use the ns->rwsem for locking.  Add
segments after id is added, remove before removing from id.

On unshare of NEW_IPCNS orphan any ids as if the task had exited, similar
to handling of semaphore undo.

I chose a define for the init sequence since its a simple list init,
otherwise it would require a function call to avoid include loops between
the semaphore code and the task struct.  Converting the list_del to
list_del_init for the unshare cases would remove the exit followed by
init, but I left it blow up if not inited.

ipc/shm.c: increase the defaults for SHMALL, SHMMAX

2014-06-06T23:08:14+00:00

System V shared memory

a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
   measures against out-of-memory do not work:

    - it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.

    - segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
      the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.

b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
   (e.g. database shared buffers)

The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB.  This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.

This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b).  The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.

Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.

Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior.  The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators.  One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits.  This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support.  But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.

Further notes:
- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432
  would recreate the previous limit for SHMMAX (for the current namespace).

- Disabling sysv shm allocation is possible with:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=0
  (not a new feature, also per-namespace)

- The limits are intentionally set to a value slightly less than ULONG_MAX,
  to avoid triggering overflows in user space apps.

ipc: whitespace cleanup

2014-01-28T05:02:39+00:00

The ipc code does not adhere the typical linux coding style.
This patch fixes lots of simple whitespace errors.

- mostly autogenerated by
  scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix \
	--types=pointer_location,spacing,space_before_tab
- one manual fixup (keep structure members tab-aligned)
- removal of additional space_before_tab that were not found by --fix

Tested with some of my msg and sem test apps.

mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB

2012-12-12T01:22:25+00:00

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others.  This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.

This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.

It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag.  When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.

Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size.  When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.

The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there.  It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.

I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__).  Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined.  The interface should already
work for all other architectures though.  Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc).  However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines.  A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.
