 "This updates the ipc sysctls so that they are fundamentally per ipc
  namespace. Previously these sysctls depended upon a hack to simulate
  being per ipc namespace by looking up the ipc namespace in read or
  write. With this set of changes the ipc sysctls are registered per ipc
  namespace and open looks up the ipc namespace.

  Not only does this series of changes ensure the traditional binding at
  open time happens, but it sets a foundation for being able to relax
  the permission checks to allow a user namspace root to change the ipc
  sysctls for an ipc namespace that the user namespace root requires. To
  do this requires the ipc namespace to be known at open time"

<title>ipc/mqueue: use get_tree_nodev() in mqueue_get_tree()</title>

When running the stress-ng clone benchmark with multiple testing threads,
it was found that there were significant spinlock contention in sget_fc().
The contended spinlock was the sb_lock.  It is under heavy contention
because the following code in the critcal section of sget_fc():

  hlist_for_each_entry(old, &amp;fc-&gt;fs_type-&gt;fs_supers, s_instances) {
      if (test(old, fc))
          goto share_extant_sb;
  }

After testing with added instrumentation code, it was found that the
benchmark could generate thousands of ipc namespaces with the
corresponding number of entries in the mqueue's fs_supers list where the
namespaces are the key for the search.  This leads to excessive time in
scanning the list for a match.

Looking back at the mqueue calling sequence leading to sget_fc():

  mq_init_ns()
  =&gt; mq_create_mount()
  =&gt; fc_mount()
  =&gt; vfs_get_tree()
  =&gt; mqueue_get_tree()
  =&gt; get_tree_keyed()
  =&gt; vfs_get_super()
  =&gt; sget_fc()

Currently, mq_init_ns() is the only mqueue function that will indirectly
call mqueue_get_tree() with a newly allocated ipc namespace as the key for
searching.  As a result, there will never be a match with the exising ipc
namespaces stored in the mqueue's fs_supers list.

So using get_tree_keyed() to do an existing ipc namespace search is just a
waste of time.  Instead, we could use get_tree_nodev() to eliminate the
useless search.  By doing so, we can greatly reduce the sb_lock hold time
and avoid the spinlock contention problem in case a large number of ipc
namespaces are present.

Of course, if the code is modified in the future to allow
mqueue_get_tree() to be called with an existing ipc namespace instead of a
new one, we will have to use get_tree_keyed() in this case.

The following stress-ng clone benchmark command was run on a 2-socket
48-core Intel system:

./stress-ng --clone 32 --verbose --oomable --metrics-brief -t 20

The "bogo ops/s" increased from 5948.45 before patch to 9137.06 after
patch. This is an increase of 54% in performance.

<title>ipc: Store mqueue sysctls in the ipc namespace</title>

Right now, the mqueue sysctls take ipc namespaces into account in a
rather hacky way. This works in most cases, but does not respect the
user namespace.

Within the user namespace, the user cannot change the /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/*
parametres. This poses a problem in the rootless containers.

To solve this I changed the implementation of the mqueue sysctls just
like some other sysctls.

So far, the changes do not provide additional access to files. This will
be done in a future patch.

v3:
* Don't implemenet set_permissions to keep the current behavior.

v2:
* Fixed compilation problem if CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE_SYSCTL is not
  specified.

<title>ipc/mqueue, msg, sem: avoid relying on a stack reference past its expiry</title>

do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with a stack local address.  The
sender (do_mq_timedsend) uses this address to later call pipelined_send.

This leads to a very hard to trigger race where a do_mq_timedreceive
call might return and leave do_mq_timedsend to rely on an invalid
address, causing the following crash:

  RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60
  Call Trace:
   __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490
   do_syscall_64+0x80/0x680
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
  RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343

The race occurs as:

1. do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with the address of `struct
   ext_wait_queue` on function stack (aliased as `ewq_addr` here) - it
   holds a valid `struct ext_wait_queue *` as long as the stack has not
   been overwritten.

2. `ewq_addr` gets added to info-&gt;e_wait_q[RECV].list in wq_add, and
   do_mq_timedsend receives it via wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) to call
   __pipelined_op.

3. Sender calls __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(&amp;this-&gt;state,
   STATE_READY).  Here is where the race window begins.  (`this` is
   `ewq_addr`.)

4. If the receiver wakes up now in do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, it
   will see `state == STATE_READY` and break.

5. do_mq_timedreceive returns, and `ewq_addr` is no longer guaranteed
   to be a `struct ext_wait_queue *` since it was on do_mq_timedreceive's
   stack.  (Although the address may not get overwritten until another
   function happens to touch it, which means it can persist around for an
   indefinite time.)

6. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() still believes `ewq_addr` is a
   `struct ext_wait_queue *`, and uses it to find a task_struct to pass to
   the wake_q_add_safe call.  In the lucky case where nothing has
   overwritten `ewq_addr` yet, `ewq_addr-&gt;task` is the right task_struct.
   In the unlucky case, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe gets handed a
   bogus address as the receiver's task_struct causing the crash.

do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() should not dereference `this` after
setting STATE_READY, as the receiver counterpart is now free to return.
Change __pipelined_op to call wake_q_add_safe on the receiver's
task_struct returned by get_task_struct, instead of dereferencing `this`
which sits on the receiver's stack.

As Manfred pointed out, the race potentially also exists in
ipc/msg.c::expunge_all and ipc/sem.c::wake_up_sem_queue_prepare.  Fix
those in the same way.

do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with a stack local address.  The
sender (do_mq_timedsend) uses this address to later call pipelined_send.

This leads to a very hard to trigger race where a do_mq_timedreceive
call might return and leave do_mq_timedsend to rely on an invalid
address, causing the following crash:

  RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60
  Call Trace:
   __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490
   do_syscall_64+0x80/0x680
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
  RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343

The race occurs as:

1. do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with the address of `struct
   ext_wait_queue` on function stack (aliased as `ewq_addr` here) - it
   holds a valid `struct ext_wait_queue *` as long as the stack has not
   been overwritten.

2. `ewq_addr` gets added to info-&gt;e_wait_q[RECV].list in wq_add, and
   do_mq_timedsend receives it via wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) to call
   __pipelined_op.

3. Sender calls __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(&amp;this-&gt;state,
   STATE_READY).  Here is where the race window begins.  (`this` is
   `ewq_addr`.)

4. If the receiver wakes up now in do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, it
   will see `state == STATE_READY` and break.

5. do_mq_timedreceive returns, and `ewq_addr` is no longer guaranteed
   to be a `struct ext_wait_queue *` since it was on do_mq_timedreceive's
   stack.  (Although the address may not get overwritten until another
   function happens to touch it, which means it can persist around for an
   indefinite time.)

6. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() still believes `ewq_addr` is a
   `struct ext_wait_queue *`, and uses it to find a task_struct to pass to
   the wake_q_add_safe call.  In the lucky case where nothing has
   overwritten `ewq_addr` yet, `ewq_addr-&gt;task` is the right task_struct.
   In the unlucky case, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe gets handed a
   bogus address as the receiver's task_struct causing the crash.

do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() should not dereference `this` after
setting STATE_READY, as the receiver counterpart is now free to return.
Change __pipelined_op to call wake_q_add_safe on the receiver's
task_struct returned by get_task_struct, instead of dereferencing `this`
which sits on the receiver's stack.

As Manfred pointed out, the race potentially also exists in
ipc/msg.c::expunge_all and ipc/sem.c::wake_up_sem_queue_prepare.  Fix
those in the same way.

The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows
rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already
globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous
user_namespaces cannot be exceeded.

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.

The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs
itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename,
rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the
inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and
operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user
namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see
identical behavior as before.
