When a user send a signal to any another processes it forces the kernel to
allocate memory for 'struct sigqueue' objects. The number of signals is
limited by RLIMIT_SIGPENDING resource limit, but even the default settings
allow each user to consume up to several megabytes of memory.
It makes sense to account for these allocations to restrict the host's
memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"In preparation of doing something about PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT I have
started cleaning up various pieces of code related to do_exit. Most of
that code I did not manage to get tested and reviewed before the merge
window opened but a handful of very useful cleanups are ready to be
merged.
The first change is simply the removal of the bdflush system call. The
code has now been disabled long enough that even the oldest userspace
working userspace setups anyone can find to test are fine with the
bdflush system call being removed.
Changing m68k fsp040_die to use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of
calling do_exit directly is interesting only in that it is nearly the
most difficult of the incorrect uses of do_exit to remove.
The change to the seccomp code to simply send a signal instead of
calling do_coredump directly is a very nice little cleanup made
possible by realizing the existing signal sending helpers were missing
a little bit of functionality that is easy to provide"

Pull siginfo si_trapno updates from Eric Biederman:
"The full set of si_trapno changes was not appropriate as a fix for the
newly added SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF, and so I postponed the rest of the
related cleanups.
This is the rest of the cleanups for si_trapno that reduces it from
being a really weird arch special case that is expect to be always
present (but isn't) on the architectures that support it to being yet
another field in the _sigfault union of struct siginfo.
The changes have been reviewed and marinated in linux-next. With the
removal of this awkward special case new code (like SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF)
that works across architectures should be easier to write and
maintain"
* 'siginfo-si_trapno-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
signal: Rename SIL_PERF_EVENT SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT for consistency
signal: Verify the alignment and size of siginfo_t
signal: Remove the generic __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO support
signal/alpha: si_trapno is only used with SIGFPE and SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK
signal/sparc: si_trapno is only used with SIGILL ILL_ILLTRP
arm64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
arm: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
sparc64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
Factor out force_sig_seccomp from the seccomp signal generation and
place it in kernel/signal.c. The function force_sig_seccomp takes a
parameter force_coredump to indicate that the sigaction field should
be reset to SIGDFL so that a coredump will be generated when the
signal is delivered.
force_sig_seccomp is then used to replace both seccomp_send_sigsys
and seccomp_init_siginfo.
force_sig_info_to_task gains an extra parameter to force using
the default signal action.
With this change seccomp is no longer a special case and there
becomes exactly one place do_coredump is called from.
Further it no longer becomes necessary for __seccomp_filter
to call do_group_exit.

Starting the process wide cputime counter needs to be done in the same
sighand locking sequence than actually arming the related timer otherwise
this races against concurrent timers setting/expiring in the same
threadgroup.
Detecting that the cputime counter is started without holding the sighand
lock is a first step toward debugging such situations.

Now that __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO is no longer set by any architecture remove
all of the code it enabled from the kernel.
On alpha and sparc a more explict approach of using
send_sig_fault_trapno or force_sig_fault_trapno in the very limited
circumstances where si_trapno was set to a non-zero value.
The generic support that is being removed always set si_trapno on all
fault signals. With only SIGILL ILL_ILLTRAP on sparc and SIGFPE and
SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK on alpla providing si_trapno values asking all senders
of fault signals to provide an si_trapno value does not make sense.
Making si_trapno an ordinary extension of the fault siginfo layout has
enabled the architecture generic implementation of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF,
and enables other faulting signals to grow architecture generic
senders as well.

Currently we handle SS_AUTODISARM as soon as we have stored the altstack
settings into sigframe - that's the point when we have set the things up
for eventual sigreturn to restore the old settings. And if we manage to
set the sigframe up (we are not done with that yet), everything's fine.
However, in case of failure we end up with sigframe-to-be abandoned and
SIGSEGV force-delivered. And in that case we end up with inconsistent
rules - late failures have altstack reset, early ones do not.
It's trivial to get consistent behaviour - just handle SS_AUTODISARM once
we have set the sigframe up and are committed to entering the handler,
i.e. in signal_delivered().

This reverts commits 4bad58ebc8 (and
399f8dd9a8, which tried to fix it).
I do not believe these are correct, and I'm about to release 5.13, so am
reverting them out of an abundance of caution.
The locking is odd, and appears broken.
On the allocation side (in __sigqueue_alloc()), the locking is somewhat
straightforward: it depends on sighand->siglock. Since one caller
doesn't hold that lock, it further then tests 'sigqueue_flags' to avoid
the case with no locks held.
On the freeing side (in sigqueue_cache_or_free()), there is no locking
at all, and the logic instead depends on 'current' being a single
thread, and not able to race with itself.
To make things more exciting, there's also the data race between freeing
a signal and allocating one, which is handled by using WRITE_ONCE() and
READ_ONCE(), and being mutually exclusive wrt the initial state (ie
freeing will only free if the old state was NULL, while allocating will
obviously only use the value if it was non-NULL, so only one or the
other will actually act on the value).
However, while the free->alloc paths do seem mutually exclusive thanks
to just the data value dependency, it's not clear what the memory
ordering constraints are on it. Could writes from the previous
allocation possibly be delayed and seen by the new allocation later,
causing logical inconsistencies?
So it's all very exciting and unusual.
And in particular, it seems that the freeing side is incorrect in
depending on "current" being single-threaded. Yes, 'current' is a
single thread, but in the presense of asynchronous events even a single
thread can have data races.
And such asynchronous events can and do happen, with interrupts causing
signals to be flushed and thus free'd (for example - sending a
SIGCONT/SIGSTOP can happen from interrupt context, and can flush
previously queued process control signals).
So regardless of all the other questions about the memory ordering and
locking for this new cached allocation, the sigqueue_cache_or_free()
assumptions seem to be fundamentally incorrect.
It may be that people will show me the errors of my ways, and tell me
why this is all safe after all. We can reinstate it if so. But my
current belief is that the WRITE_ONCE() that sets the cached entry needs
to be a smp_store_release(), and the READ_ONCE() that finds a cached
entry needs to be a smp_load_acquire() to handle memory ordering
correctly.
And the sequence in sigqueue_cache_or_free() would need to either use a
lock or at least be interrupt-safe some way (perhaps by using something
like the percpu 'cmpxchg': it doesn't need to be SMP-safe, but like the
percpu operations it needs to be interrupt-safe).

syzbot reported a memory leak related to sigqueue caching.
The assumption that a task cannot cache a sigqueue after the signal handler
has been dropped and exit_task_sigqueue_cache() has been invoked turns out
to be wrong.
Such a task can still invoke release_task(other_task), which cleans up the
signals of 'other_task' and ends up in sigqueue_cache_or_free(), which in
turn will cache the signal because task->sigqueue_cache is NULL. That's
obviously bogus because nothing will free the cached signal of that task
anymore, so the cached item is leaked.
This happens when e.g. the last non-leader thread exits and reaps the
zombie leader.
Prevent this by setting tsk::sigqueue_cache to an error pointer value in
exit_task_sigqueue_cache() which forces any subsequent invocation of
sigqueue_cache_or_free() from that task to hand the sigqueue back to the
kmemcache.
Add comments to all relevant places.

Pull siginfo fix from Eric Biederman:
"During the merge window an issue with si_perf and the siginfo ABI came
up. The alpha and sparc siginfo structure layout had changed with the
addition of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF and the new field si_perf.
The reason only alpha and sparc were affected is that they are the
only architectures that use si_trapno.
Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only a few
select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the other
_sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all. Which means technically
no regression on alpha and sparc.
While the alignment concerns might be dismissed the abuse of si_errno
by SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF does have the potential to cause regressions in
existing userspace.
While we still have time before userspace starts using and depending
on the new definition siginfo for SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF this set of
changes cleans up siginfo_t.
- The si_trapno field is demoted from magic alpha and sparc status
and made an ordinary union member of the _sigfault member of
siginfo_t. Without moving it of course.
- si_perf is replaced with si_perf_data and si_perf_type ending the
abuse of si_errno.
- Unnecessary additions to signalfd_siginfo are removed"

signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf
signal: Factor force_sig_perf out of perf_sigtrap
signal: Implement SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO
siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault
Now that si_trapno is part of the union in _si_fault and available on
all architectures, add SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO and update siginfo_layout to
return SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO when the code assumes si_trapno is valid.
There is room for future changes to reduce when si_trapno is valid but
this is all that is needed to make si_trapno and the other members of
the the union in _sigfault mutually exclusive.
Update the code that uses siginfo_layout to deal with SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO
and have the same code ignore si_trapno in in all other cases.

It turns out that linux uses si_trapno very sparingly, and as such it
can be considered extra information for a very narrow selection of
signals, rather than information that is present with every fault
reported in siginfo.
As such move si_trapno inside the union inside of _si_fault. This
results in no change in placement, and makes it eaiser
to extend _si_fault in the future as this reduces the number of
special cases. In particular with si_trapno included in the union it
is no longer a concern that the union must be pointer aligned on most
architectures because the union follows immediately after si_addr
which is a pointer.
This change results in a difference in siginfo field placement on
sparc and alpha for the fields si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper,
si_pkey, and si_perf. These architectures do not implement the
signals that would use si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper, si_pkey, and
si_perf. Further these architecture have not yet implemented the
userspace that would use si_perf.
The point of this change is in fact to correct these placement issues
before sparc or alpha grow userspace that cares. This change was
discussed[1] and the agreement is that this change is currently safe.

The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU side there's
core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX profiling, by

- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The immediate motivation
is to support low-overhead sampling-based race detection for user-space code. The
feature consists of the following main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits
inheritance of events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap, extend siginfo with an u64
::si_perf, and add the breakpoint information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the new field can be used

The idea for this originates from the real time tree to make signal
delivery for realtime applications more efficient. In quite some of these
application scenarios a control tasks signals workers to start their
computations. There is usually only one signal per worker on flight. This
works nicely as long as the kmem cache allocations do not hit the slow path
and cause latencies.
To cure this an optimistic caching was introduced (limited to RT tasks)
which allows a task to cache a single sigqueue in a pointer in task_struct
instead of handing it back to the kmem cache after consuming a signal. When
the next signal is sent to the task then the cached sigqueue is used
instead of allocating a new one. This solved the problem for this set of
application scenarios nicely.
The task cache is not preallocated so the first signal sent to a task goes
always to the cache allocator. The cached sigqueue stays around until the
task exits and is freed when task::sighand is dropped.
After posting this solution for mainline the discussion came up whether
this would be useful in general and should not be limited to realtime
tasks: https://lore.kernel.org/r/m11rcu7nbr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org
One concern leading to the original limitation was to avoid a large amount
of pointlessly cached sigqueues in alive tasks. The other concern was
vs. RLIMIT_SIGPENDING as these cached sigqueues are not accounted for.
The accounting problem is real, but on the other hand slightly academic.
After gathering some statistics it turned out that after boot of a regular
distro install there are less than 10 sigqueues cached in ~1500 tasks.
In case of a 'mass fork and fire signal to child' scenario the extra 80
bytes of memory per task are well in the noise of the overall memory
consumption of the fork bomb.
If this should be limited then this would need an extra counter in struct
user, more atomic instructions and a seperate rlimit. Yet another tunable
which is mostly unused.
The caching is actually used. After boot and a full kernel compile on a
64CPU machine with make -j128 the number of 'allocations' looks like this:
From slab: 23996
From task cache: 52223
I.e. it reduces the number of slab cache operations by ~68%.
A typical pattern there is:
<...>-58490 __sigqueue_alloc: for 58488 from slab ffff8881132df460
<...>-58488 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881132df460
<...>-58488 __sigqueue_alloc: for 1149 from cache ffff8881103dc550
bash-1149 exit_task_sighand: free ffff8881132df460
bash-1149 __sigqueue_free: cache ffff8881103dc550
The interesting sequence is that the exiting task 58488 grabs the sigqueue
from bash's task cache to signal exit and bash sticks it back into it's own
cache. Lather, rinse and repeat.
The caching is probably not noticable for the general use case, but the
benefit for latency sensitive applications is clear. While kmem caches are
usually just serving from the fast path the slab merging (default) can
depending on the usage pattern of the merged slabs cause occasional slow
path allocations.
The time spared per cached entry is a few micro seconds per signal which is
not relevant for e.g. a kernel build, but for signal heavy workloads it's
measurable.
As there is no real downside of this caching mechanism making it
unconditionally available is preferred over more conditional code or new
magic tunables.

This reverts commit 6fb8f43ced.
The IO threads do allow signals now, including SIGSTOP, and we can allow
ptrace attach. Attaching won't reveal anything interesting for the IO
threads, but it will allow eg gdb to attach to a task with io_urings
and IO threads without complaining. And once attached, it will allow
the usual introspection into regular threads.

This reverts commit 5be28c8f85.
IO threads now take signals just fine, so there's no reason to limit them
specifically. Revert the change that prevented that from happening.

Right now we're never calling get_signal() from PF_IO_WORKER threads, but
in preparation for doing so, don't handle a fatal signal for them. The
workers have state they need to cleanup when exiting, so just return
instead of calling do_exit() on their behalf. The threads themselves will
detect a fatal signal and do proper shutdown.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Just like we don't allow normal signals to IO threads, don't deliver a
STOP to a task that has PF_IO_WORKER set. The IO threads don't take
signals in general, and have no means of flushing out a stop either.
Longer term, we may want to look into allowing stop of these threads,
as it relates to eg process freezing. For now, this prevents a spin
issue if a SIGSTOP is delivered to the parent task.

They don't take signals individually, and even if they share signals with
the parent task, don't allow them to be delivered through the worker
thread. Linux does allow this kind of behavior for regular threads, but
it's really a compatability thing that we need not care about for the IO
threads.

Song reported a boot regression in a kvm image with 5.11-rc, and bisected
it down to the below patch. Debugging this issue, turns out that the boot
stalled when a task is waiting on a pipe being released. As we no longer
run task_work from get_signal() unless it's queued with TWA_SIGNAL, the
task goes idle without running the task_work. This prevents ->release()
from being called on the pipe, which another boot task is waiting on.
For now, re-instate the unconditional task_work run from get_signal().
For 5.12, we'll collapse TWA_RESUME and TWA_SIGNAL, as it no longer
makes sense to have a distinction between the two. This will turn
task_work notification into a simple boolean, whether to notify or not.

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
"This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.
Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
wait queue head lock.
The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.
Roman Gershman <romger@amazon.com> reported that his networked
workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
[1].
There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Architectures that support address tagging, such as arm64, may want to
expose fault address tag bits to the signal handler to help diagnose
memory errors. However, these bits have not been previously set,
and their presence may confuse unaware user applications. Therefore,
introduce a SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag bit in sa_flags that a signal
handler may use to explicitly request that the bits are set.
The generic signal handler APIs expect to receive tagged addresses.
Architectures may specify how to untag addresses in the case where
SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS is clear by defining the arch_untagged_si_addr
function.

Define a sa_flags bit, SA_UNSUPPORTED, which will never be supported
in the uapi. The purpose of this flag bit is to allow userspace to
distinguish an old kernel that does not clear unknown sa_flags bits
from a kernel that supports every flag bit.
In other words, if userspace does something like:
act.sa_flags |= SA_UNSUPPORTED;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, 0);
sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0, &oldact);
and finds that SA_UNSUPPORTED remains set in oldact.sa_flags, it means
that the kernel cannot be trusted to have cleared unknown flag bits
from sa_flags, so no assumptions about flag bit support can be made.

Previously we were not clearing non-uapi flag bits in
sigaction.sa_flags when storing the userspace-provided sa_flags or
when returning them via oldact. Start doing so.
This allows userspace to detect missing support for flag bits and
allows the kernel to use non-uapi bits internally, as we are already
doing in arch/x86 for two flag bits. Now that this change is in
place, we no longer need the code in arch/x86 that was hiding these
bits from userspace, so remove it.
This is technically a userspace-visible behavior change for sigaction, as
the unknown bits returned via oldact.sa_flags are no longer set. However,
we are free to define the behavior for unknown bits exactly because
their behavior is currently undefined, so for now we can define the
meaning of each of them to be "clear the bit in oldact.sa_flags unless
the bit becomes known in the future". Furthermore, this behavior is
consistent with OpenBSD [1], illumos [2] and XNU [3] (FreeBSD [4] and
NetBSD [5] fail the syscall if unknown bits are set). So there is some
precedent for this behavior in other kernels, and in particular in XNU,
which is probably the most popular kernel among those that I looked at,
which means that this change is less likely to be a compatibility issue.
