2009-07-11futexes: Fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() on huge pageSonny Rao
get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to the beginning of that page. The call to get_user_pages_fast will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page and the check for page->mapping will always fail. The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking that it's mapped.

2009-06-25futex: request only one page from get_user_pages()Thomas Gleixner
Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead of one. That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked up the prototype to verify the correctness: the argument in question is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of pages.

2009-06-24futex: Fix the write access fault problem for realThomas Gleixner
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

2009-05-20futex: fix restart in wait_requeue_piThomas Gleixner
If the waiter has been requeued to the outer PI futex and is interrupted by a signal and the thread handles the signal then ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK is changed to EINTR and the restart block is discarded. That way we return an unexcpected EINTR to user space instead of ending up in futex_lock_pi_restart. But we do not need to restart the syscall because we know that the condition has changed since we have been requeued. If we would simply restart the syscall then we would drop out via the comparison of the user space value with EWOULDBLOCK. The user space side needs to handle EWOULDBLOCK anyway as the enqueueing on the inner futex can race with a requeue/wake. So we can simply return EWOULDBLOCK to user space which also signals that we did not take the outer futex and let user space handle it in the same way it has to handle the requeue/wake race.

2009-05-19futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space dataThomas Gleixner
The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast() even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the VMA with mmap_sem held. After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex: clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not fixed up. Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on the futex op.

2009-05-15futex: remove the wait queueThomas Gleixner
The waitqueue which is used in struct futex_q is a leftover from the futexfd implementation. There is no need to use a waitqueue at all, as the waiting task is the only user of it. The waitqueue just adds additional locking and a loop in the wake up path which both can be avoided. We have already a task reference in struct futex_q which is used for PI futexes. Use it for normal futexes as well and just wake up the task directly. The logic of signalling the futex wakeup via setting q->lock_ptr to NULL is kept with the difference that we set it NULL before doing the wakeup. This opens an exit race window vs. a non futex wake up of the to be woken up task, which we prevent with get_task_struct / put_task_struct on the waiter.

2009-04-30futex: remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (non CMP)Darren Hart
The new requeue PI futex op codes were modeled after the existing FUTEX_REQUEUE and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE calls. I was unaware at the time that FUTEX_REQUEUE was only around for compatibility reasons and shouldn't be used in new code. Ulrich Drepper elaborates on this in his Futexes are Tricky paper: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf. The deprecated call doesn't catch changes to the futex corresponding to the destination futex which can lead to deadlock. Therefor, I feel it best to remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI and leave only FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI as there are not yet any existing users of the API. This patch does change the OP code value of FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI to 12 from 13. Since my test case is the only known user of this API, I felt this was the right thing to do, rather than leave a hole in the enumeration. I chose to continue using the _CMP_ modifier in the OP code to make it explicit to the user that the test is being done. Builds, boots, and ran several hundred iterations requeue_pi.c.

2009-04-06futex: add requeue_pi functionalityDarren Hart
PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

2009-04-06futex: add FUTEX_HAS_TIMEOUT flag to restart.futex.flagsDarren Hart
Currently restart is only used if there is a timeout. The requeue_pi functionality requires restarting to futex_lock_pi() on signal after wakeup in futex_wait_requeue_pi() regardless of if there was a timeout or not. Using 0 for the timeout value is confusing as that could indicate an expired timer. The flag makes this explicit. While the check is not technically needed in futex_wait_restart(), doing so makes the code consistent with and will avoid confusion should the need arise to restart wait without a timeout.

2009-03-12futex: update futex commentaryDarren Hart
Impact: cleanup The futex_hash_bucket can be a bit confusing when first looking at the code as it is a shared queue (and futex_q isn't a queue at all, but rather an element on the queue). The mmap_sem is no longer held outside of the futex_handle_fault() routine, yet numerous comments refer to it. The fshared argument is no an integer. I left some of these comments along as they are simply removed in future patches. Some of the commentary refering to futexes by virtual page mappings was not very clear, and completely accurate (as for shared futexes both the page and the offset are used to determine the key). For the purposes of the function description, just referring to "the futex" seems sufficient. With hashed futexes we now access the page after the hash-bucket is locked, and not only after it is enqueued.

Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers pointing to it. Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in entry.S via asm-offsets.

2008-11-14CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the core kernelDavid Howells
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

2008-09-30futex: use fast_gup()Peter Zijlstra
Change the get_user_pages() call with fast_gup() which doesn't require holding the mmap_sem thereby removing the mmap_sem from all fast paths. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
