commit bebcb928c820d0ee83aca4b192adc195e43e66a2 upstream.
The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of
pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic.
Otherwise:
- the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to
sleep.
- the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the
queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty.
- the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd()
task has not yet called ss_add().
- then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps.
Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever.
Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel.
Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check.
The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object:
- msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any
pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new
permissions. If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks,
then there might be races.
- it makes the patch much simpler.

According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."
Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.
Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.
This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf0867 ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

Cleanup: Some minor points that I noticed while writing the previous
patches
1) The name try_atomic_semop() is misleading: The function performs the
operation (if it is possible).
2) Some documentation updates.
No real code change, a rename and documentation changes.

sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that
completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access
from multiple cpus can cause thrashing.
Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable.
The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required.
No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for
larger systems.

There are two places that can contain alter operations:
- the global queue: sma->pending_alter
- the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter.
Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd
priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over
simple ops.
The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting
operation has the highest priority.
This is done by using only one queue:
- if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used.
- otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used.
As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more
goto logic.

Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the
semaphore values. Advantages:
- Simpler logic in check_restart().
- Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are
always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0.
- wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9

As now each semaphore has its own spinlock and parallel operations are
possible, give each semaphore its own cacheline.
On a i3 laptop, this gives up to 28% better performance:
#semscale 10 | grep "interleave 2"
- before:
Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 36109234 in 10 secs
Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 55276317 in 10 secs
Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 62411025 in 10 secs
Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 81963928 in 10 secs
-after:
Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 35527306 in 10 secs
Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 70922909 in 10 secs <<< + 28%
Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 80518538 in 10 secs
Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 89115148 in 10 secs <<< + 8.7%
i3, with 2 cores and with hyperthreading enabled. Interleave 2 in order
use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline
trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running.

Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP.
Rationale:
The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate
cacheline (____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if
ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc
return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc
breaks that.

This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore
scaling series, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546
Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also
abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as
permission and security checks.
This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be
done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open
first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two
level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and
ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be
updated as well.
This patch:
Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock.
This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and
newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the
rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock
functions. The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for
->perm.lock

audit_names record
The old audit PATH records for mq_open looked like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=1 name=(null) inode=6777
dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=26732
dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
...with the audit related changes that went into 3.7, they now look like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=2 name=(null) inode=66655
dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=1 name=(null) inode=6926
dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=0 name="test_mq"
Both of these look wrong to me. As Steve Grubb pointed out:
"What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ. The other PATH
records probably should not be there."
Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it
should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of
the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting. With this change, we get
a single PATH record that looks more like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914
dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0
In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is
added. If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers
of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is
inactive.

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.
do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
scanned again
And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()
The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.
This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29243d ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

sem_obtain_lock() was another of those functions that returned with the
RCU lock held for reading in the success case. Move the RCU locking to
the caller (semtimedop()), making it more obvious. We already did RCU
locking elsewhere in that function.
Side note: why does semtimedop() re-do the semphore lookup after the
sleep, rather than just getting a reference to the semaphore it already
looked up originally?

This is another ipc semaphore locking cleanup, trying to make the
locking more straightforward. We move the rcu read locking into the
callers of sem_lock_and_putref(), which in general means that we now
mostly do the rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() in the same
function.
Mostly. We still have the ipc_addid/newary/freeary mess, and things
like ipcctl_pre_down_nolock().

The IPC locking is a mess, and sem_unlock() unlocks not only the
semaphore spinlock, it also drops the rcu read lock. Unlike sem_lock(),
which just gets the spin-lock, and expects the caller to get the rcu
read lock.
This all makes things very hard to follow, and it's very confusing when
you take the rcu read lock in one function, and then release it in
another. And it has caused actual bugs: the sem_obtain_lock() function
ended up dropping the RCU read lock twice in one error path, because it
first did the sem_unlock(), and then did a rcu_read_unlock() to match
the rcu_read_lock() it had done.
This is just a totally mindless "remove rcu_read_unlock() from
sem_unlock() and add it immediately after each caller" (except for the
aforementioned bug where we did too many rcu_read_unlock(), and in
find_alloc_undo() where we just got the rcu_read_lock() to correct for
the fact that sem_unlock would immediately drop it again).
We can (and should) clean things up further, but this fixes the bug with
the minimal amount of subtlety.

We can step on WARN_ON_ONCE() in sem_getref() if a semaphore is removed
just as we are about to call sem_getref() from semctl_main(); results
are not pretty.
We should fail with -EIDRM, same as if IPC_RM happened while we'd been
doing allocation there. This also expands sem_getref() at its only
callsite (and fixed there), while sem_getref_and_unlock() is simply
killed off - it has no callers at all.

which allows us to simplify ipc/util.c a lot by getting rid of the
differences between vmalloc/kmalloc memory.

Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB. By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.
In the newseg() function, ns->shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.
ipc/shm.c:
458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
459 {
...
465 int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

474 if (ns->shm_tot + numpages > ns->shm_ctlall)

Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
multiple semaphores.
If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.
If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

Rename sem_lock() to sem_obtain_lock(), so we can introduce a sem_lock()
later that only locks the sem_array and does nothing else.
Open code the locking from ipc_lock() in sem_obtain_lock() so we can
introduce finer grained locking for the sem_array in the next patch.

Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security checks, among
others, only acquire it when necessary.
Some numbers....
1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following
results:
Baseline (3.9-rc1):
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409
+ 59.40% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
+ 6.14% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop
+ 3.84% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+ 3.64% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+ 2.06% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
+ 1.86% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_lock
With this patchset:
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213
+ 18.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
+ 11.72% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sys_semtimedop
+ 7.70% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21
+ 6.58% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+ 6.54% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+ 4.71% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipc_obtain_object_check
2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the
improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see
some positive numbers. For an 8 socket machine the following are the
percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock:
Baseline (3.9-rc1):
100 swingbench users: 8,74%
400 swingbench users: 21,86%
800 swingbench users: 84,35%
With this patchset:
100 swingbench users: 8,11%
400 swingbench users: 19,93%
800 swingbench users: 77,69%

Various forms of ipc use ipcctl_pre_down() to retrieve an ipc object and
check permissions, mostly for IPC_RMID and IPC_SET commands.
Introduce ipcctl_pre_down_nolock(), a lockless version of this function.
The locking version is retained, yet modified to call the nolock version
without affecting its semantics, thus transparent to all ipc callers.

Through ipc_lock() and therefore ipc_lock_check() we currently return the
locked ipc object. This is not necessary for all situations and can,
therefore, cause unnecessary ipc lock contention.
Introduce analogous ipc_obtain_object() and ipc_obtain_object_check()
functions that only lookup and return the ipc object.
Both these functions must be called within the RCU read critical section.

This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.
The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
hold time of the semaphore lock.
The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:
