* ipc,sem: fix semctl(..., GETNCNT)Rik van Riel2013-05-091-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The semctl GETNCNT returns the number of semops waiting for the specified semaphore to become nonzero. After commit 9f1bc2c9022c ("ipc,sem: have only one list in struct sem_queue"), the semops waiting on just one semaphore are waiting on that semaphore's list. In order to return the correct count, we have to walk that list too, in addition to the sem_array's list for complex operations.

* ipc: simplify semtimedop/semctl_main() common error path handlingLinus Torvalds2013-05-051-27/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With various straight RCU lock/unlock movements, one common exit path pattern had become rcu_read_unlock(); goto out_wakeup; and in fact there were no cases where we wanted to exit to out_wakeup _without_ releasing the RCU read lock. So replace that pattern with "goto out_rcu_wakeup", and remove the old out_wakeup.

* ipc: move sem_obtain_lock() rcu locking into the only callerLinus Torvalds2013-05-051-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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?

* ipc: move the rcu_read_lock() from sem_lock_and_putref() into callersLinus Torvalds2013-05-051-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

* ipc: move rcu_read_unlock() out of sem_unlock() and into callersLinus Torvalds2013-05-041-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedopRik van Riel2013-05-011-100/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This will cause crashes, because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer. The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result(). This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.

* sys_semctl: fix kernel stack leakageDan Rosenberg2010-10-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete version of the semid_ds struct. The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the "sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers, allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory. The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl() newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of the struct.

* ipc/sem.c: update description of the implementationManfred Spraul2010-05-271-50/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial implementation in Linux-1.0. The patch replaces that with a top level description of the current code. A TODO could be derived from this text: The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO. Thus there is no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations. If - this list is removed - the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no list to protect) - sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during semctl() then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries. The price would be expensive semctl() calls: for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_lock(sma->sem_lock); <do stuff> for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_unlock(sma->sem_lock); I'm not sure if the complexity is worth the effort, thus here is the documentation of the current behavior first.

* ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock sectionManfred Spraul2010-05-271-32/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps: - the right tasks must be identified. - they must be woken up. Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held. This patch reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point where the spinlock is dropped. The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

* ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup callsManfred Spraul2010-05-271-13/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current code: - In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2). Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case. The patch series fix that. Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than perfect FIFO. - The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is significantly larger than necessary. The patch series fixes that. This change is responsible for the main improvement. - The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily written to multiple times (sem_otime). The last step of the series cacheline-aligns the spinlock. This patch: The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all semaphores in the array as atomic operations. After a modification, update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete. The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst case. For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2). The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks. A big database application uses that approach. The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of the patch breaks that.

* ipc/sem.c: optimize single sops when semval is zeroManfred Spraul2009-12-161-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value is already 0. The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no need to scan the q->alter entries. Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0 to 1. Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned. With the patch, only one entry is scanned, then woken up. Then the new rule triggers and the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks. With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch optimizes single semaphore operation calls that affect only one semaphore: It's not necessary to scan all pending operations, it is sufficient to scan the per-semaphore list. The idea is from Nick Piggin version of an ipc sem improvement, the implementation is different: The code tries to keep as much common code as possible. As the result, the patch is simpler, but optimizes fewer cases.

Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore operations: In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a 2nd, per-semaphore list with the simple operations is added. Note: this patch does not make sense by itself, the new list is used nowhere.

* ipc/sem.c: sem preempt improveNick Piggin2009-12-161-15/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock". It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is actually the case. However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would become buggy. So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels. Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock. Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there is still time wasted spinning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Around a month ago, there was some discussion about an improvement of the sysv sem algorithm: Most (at least: some important) users only use simple semaphore operations, therefore it's worthwile to optimize this use case. This patch: Move last looked up sem_undo struct to the head of the task's undo list. Attempt to move common entries to the front of the list so search time is reduced. This reduces lookup_undo on oprofile of problematic SAP workload by 30% (see patch 4 for a description of SAP workload).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) doesn't handle the undo lists properly, this can cause a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing undo lists. Fix, part 1: add support for sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) The original reason to not support it was the potential (inevitable?) confusion due to the fact that sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) has the inverse meaning of clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM). Our two most reasonable options then appear to be (1) fully support CLONE_SYSVSEM, or (2) continue to refuse explicit CLONE_SYSVSEM, but always do it anyway on unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM). This patch does (1). Changelog: Apr 16: SEH: switch to Manfred's alternative patch which removes the unshare_semundo() function which always refused CLONE_SYSVSEM.
