Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc)
to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an
O(1) lookup. This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a
thread group with many children and/or tracees.
Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already
has N children [1]:
N | Before | After
-----|---------|------
1 | 74 us | 74 us
20 | 72 us | 75 us
100 | 83 us | 77 us
500 | 99 us | 74 us
1000 | 179 us | 75 us
5000 | 804 us | 79 us
8000 | 1268 us | 78 us
[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567
This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with
a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on
them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of
processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch
was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the
Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling
(without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance
penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which
this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warning:
CC [M] fs/hpfs/dir.o
fs/hpfs/dir.c: In function `hpfs_readdir':
fs/hpfs/dir.c:163:41: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of `u8[1]' {aka `unsigned char[1]'} [-Warray-bounds]

Commit 339ddb53d3 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested
epoll") changed the userspace visible behavior of exclusive waiters
blocked on a common epoll descriptor upon a single event becoming ready.
Previously, all tasks doing epoll_wait would awake, and now only one is
awoken, potentially causing missed wakeups on applications that rely on
this behavior, such as Apache Qpid.
While the aforementioned commit aims at having only a wakeup single path
in ep_poll_callback (with the exceptions of epoll_ctl cases), we need to
restore the wakeup in what was the old ep_scan_ready_list() such that
the next thread can be awoken, in a cascading style, after the waker's
corresponding ep_send_events().

Patch series "fs/epoll: restore user-visible behavior upon event ready".
This series tries to address a change in user visible behavior, reported
in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943.
Epoll does not report an event to all the threads running epoll_wait()
on the same epoll descriptor. Unsurprisingly, this was bisected back to
339ddb53d3 (fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll), which
has had various problems in the past, beyond only nested epoll usage.
This patch (of 2):
This incorporates the testcase originally reported in:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943
Which ensures an event is reported to all threads blocked on the same
epoll descriptor, otherwise only a single thread will receive the wakeup
once the event become ready.

Patch series "lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps", v6.
Bitmap operations are much simpler and faster in case of small bitmaps
which fit into a single word. In linux/bitmap.c we have a machinery that
allows compiler to replace actual function call with a few instructions if
bitmaps passed into the function are small and their size is known at
compile time.
find_*_bit() API lacks this functionality; but users will benefit from it
a lot. One important example is cpumask subsystem when NR_CPUS <=
BITS_PER_LONG.
This patch (of 12):
GENMASK(h, l) may be passed with unsigned types. In such case,
type-limits warning is generated for example in case of GENMASK(h, 0).

The bitmap.h header is used in a lot of code around the kernel. Besides
that it includes kernel.h which sometimes makes a loop.
The problem here is many unneeded loops that make header hell
dependencies. For example, how may you move bitmap_zalloc() from C-file
to the header? Currently it's impossible. And bitmap.h here is only the
tip of an iceberg.
kerne.h is a dump of everything that even has nothing in common at all.
We may still have it, but in my new code I prefer to include only the
headers that I want to use, without the bulk of unneeded kernel code.
Break the loop by introducing align.h, including it in kernel.h and
bitmap.h followed by replacing kernel.h with limits.h.

Use the power-efficient work queue, to avoid the pathological case where
we keep pinning ourselves on the same possibly idle CPU on systems that
want to be power-efficient (https://lwn.net/Articles/731052/).

The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due to
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1]. While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient to
resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or larger)
it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com
Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.

Patch series "kfence: optimize timer scheduling", v2.
We have observed that mostly-idle systems with KFENCE enabled wake up
otherwise idle CPUs, preventing such to enter a lower power state.
Debugging revealed that KFENCE spends too much active time in
toggle_allocation_gate().
While the first version of KFENCE was using all the right bits to be
scheduling optimal, and thus power efficient, by simply using wait_event()
+ wake_up(), that code was unfortunately removed.
As KFENCE was exposed to various different configs and tests, the
scheduling optimal code slowly disappeared. First because of hung task
warnings, and finally because of deadlocks when an allocation is made by
timer code with debug objects enabled. Clearly, the "fixes" were not too
friendly for devices that want to be power efficient.
Therefore, let's try a little harder to fix the hung task and deadlock
problems that we have with wait_event() + wake_up(), while remaining as
scheduling friendly and power efficient as possible.
Crucially, we need to defer the wake_up() to an irq_work, avoiding any
potential for deadlock.
The result with this series is that on the devices where we observed a
power regression, power usage returns back to baseline levels.
This patch (of 3):
On mostly-idle systems, we have observed that toggle_allocation_gate() is
a cause of frequent wake-ups, preventing an otherwise idle CPU to go into
a lower power state.
A late change in KFENCE's development, due to a potential deadlock [1],
required changing the scheduling-friendly wait_event_timeout() and
wake_up() to an open-coded wait-loop using schedule_timeout(). [1]
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/000000000000c0645805b7f982e4@google.com
To avoid unnecessary wake-ups, switch to using wait_event_timeout().
Unfortunately, we still cannot use a version with direct wake_up() in
__kfence_alloc() due to the same potential for deadlock as in [1].
Instead, add a level of indirection via an irq_work that is scheduled if
we determine that the kfence_timer requires a wake_up().

After an out-of-bounds accesses, zero the guard page before re-protecting
in kfence_guarded_free(). On one hand this helps make the failure mode of
subsequent out-of-bounds accesses more deterministic, but could also
prevent certain information leaks.
