2009-04-02futex: comment requeue key reference semanticsDarren Hart
We've tripped over the futex_requeue drop_count refering to key2 instead of key1. The code is actually correct, but is non-intuitive. This patch adds an explicit comment explaining the requeue.

2009-03-12futex: clean up fault logicDarren Hart
Impact: cleanup Older versions of the futex code held the mmap_sem which had to be dropped in order to call get_user(), so a two-pronged fault handling mechanism was employed to handle faults of the atomic operations. The mmap_sem is no longer held, so get_user() should be adequate. This patch greatly simplifies the logic and improves legibility. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation. Passes basic pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime.

2009-03-12futex: unlock before returning -EFAULTDarren Hart
Impact: rt-mutex failure case fix futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex held. This seems like the wrong thing to do as userspace should assume -EFAULT means the lock was not taken. Even if it could figure this out, we'd be leaving the pi_state->owner in an inconsistent state. This patch unlocks the rt_mutex prior to returning -EFAULT to userspace. Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.

2009-03-12futex: add double_unlock_hb()Darren Hart
Impact: cleanup The futex code uses double_lock_hb() which locks the hb->lock's in pointer value order.

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.

2008-12-18futex: rename field in futex_q to clarify single waiter semanticsDarren Hart
Impact: simplify code I've tripped over the naming of this field a couple times. The futex_q uses a "waiters" list to represent a single blocked task and then calles wake_up_all(). This can lead to confusion in trying to understand the intent of the code, which is to have a single futex_q for every task waiting on a futex. This patch corrects the problem, using a single pointer to the waiting task, and an appropriate call to wake_up, rather than wake_up_all. Compile and boot tested on an 8way x86_64 machine.

2008-06-23futexes: fix fault handling in futex_lock_piThomas Gleixner
This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems. David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption, but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when the user space variable needs to be fixed up. The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user space. User space has no way to fixup that state. When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash bucket lock at this point to handle the fault. After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the user space variable: - the task which acquired the rtmutex - the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the first task already faulted the page in. One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the pi_state owner has been modified already.

2008-02-23futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionalityThomas Gleixner
Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

2008-02-01futex: Add bitset conditional wait/wakeup functionalityThomas Gleixner
To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset mask. This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP. FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter into the hashed futex waitqueue. FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is woken. The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL. Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tgxl@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-02-01futex: Remove warn on in return fixup pathThomas Gleixner
The WARN_ON() in the fixup return path of futex_lock_pi() can trigger with false positives. The following scenario happens: t1 holds the futex and t2 and t3 are blocked on the kernel side rt_mutex. t1 releases the futex (and the rt_mutex) and assigned t2 to be the next owner of the futex. t2 is interrupted and returns w/o acquiring the rt_mutex, before t1 can release the rtmutex. t1 releases the rtmutex and t3 becomes the pending owner of the rtmutex. t2 notices that it is the designated owner (user space variable) and fails to acquire the rt_mutex via trylock, because it is not allowed to steal the rt_mutex from t3. Now it looks at the rt_mutex pending owner (t3) and assigns the futex and the pi_state to it. During the fixup t4 steals the rtmutex from t3. t2 returns from the fixup and the owner of the rt_mutex has changed from t3 to t4. There is no need to do another round of fixups from t2. The important part (t2 is not returning as the user space visible owner) is done. The further fixups are done, before either t3 or t4 return to user space. For the user space it is not relevant which task (t3 or t4) is the real owner, as long as those are both in the kernel, which is guaranteed by the serialization of the hash bucket lock. Both tasks (which ever returns first to userspace - t4 because it locked the rt_mutex or t3 due to a signal) are going through the lock_futex_pi() return path where the ownership is fixed before the return to user space.

2008-01-08futex: Prevent stale futex owner when interrupted/timeoutThomas Gleixner
Roland Westrelin did a great analysis of a long standing thinko in the return path of futex_lock_pi. While we fixed the lock steal case long ago, which was easy to trigger, we never had a test case which exposed this problem and stupidly never thought about the reverse lock stealing scenario and the return to user space with a stale state. When a blocked tasks returns from rt_mutex_timed_locked without holding the rt_mutex (due to a signal or timeout) and at the same time the task holding the futex is releasing the futex and assigning the ownership of the futex to the returning task, then it might happen that a third task acquires the rt_mutex before the final rt_mutex_trylock() of the returning task happens under the futex hash bucket lock. The returning task returns to user space with ETIMEOUT or EINTR, but the user space futex value is assigned to this task. The task which acquired the rt_mutex fixes the user space futex value right after the hash bucket lock has been released by the returning task, but for a short period of time the user space value is wrong. Detailed description is available at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400541 The fix for this is the same as we do when the rt_mutex was acquired by a higher priority task via lock stealing from the designated new owner. In that case we already fix the user space value and the internal pi_state up before we return. This mechanism can be used to fixup the above corner case as well. When the returning task, which failed to acquire the rt_mutex, notices that it is the designated owner of the futex, then it fixes up the stale user space value and the pi_state, before returning to user space. This happens with the futex hash bucket lock held, so the task which acquired the rt_mutex is guaranteed to be blocked on the hash bucket lock. We can access the rt_mutex owner, which gives us the pid of the new owner, safely here as the owner is not able to modify (release) it while waiting on the hash bucket lock. Rename the "curr" argument of fixup_pi_state_owner() to "newowner" to avoid confusion with current and add the check for the stale state into the failure path of rt_mutex_trylock() in the return path of unlock_futex_pi(). If the situation is detected use fixup_pi_state_owner() to assign everything to the owner of the rt_mutex.

2007-12-05futex: fix for futex_wait signal stack corruptionSteven Rostedt
David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git from mainline, I found the bug was there too. The bug he was seeing that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is, the timer would go off early. Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather nasty bug at that. Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file) [...] smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val3) { struct timespec ts; ktime_t t, *tp = NULL; u32 val2 = 0; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) { if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0) return -EFAULT; if (!timespec_valid(&ts)) return -EINVAL; t = timespec_to_ktime(ts); if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT) t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t); tp = &t; } [...] return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3); } [...] long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3) { int ret; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG)) fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem; switch (cmd) { case FUTEX_WAIT: ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout); [...] static int futex_wait(u32 __user *uaddr, struct rw_semaphore *fshared, u32 val, ktime_t *abs_time) { [...] struct restart_block *restart; restart = &current_thread_info()->restart_block; restart->fn = futex_wait_restart; restart->arg0 = (unsigned long)uaddr; restart->arg1 = (unsigned long)val; restart->arg2 = (unsigned long)abs_time; restart->arg3 = 0; if (fshared) restart->arg3 |= ARG3_SHARED; return -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK; [...] static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart) { u32 __user *uaddr = (u32 __user *)restart->arg0; u32 val = (u32)restart->arg1; ktime_t *abs_time = (ktime_t *)restart->arg2; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall; if (restart->arg3 & ARG3_SHARED) fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem; return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, abs_time); } So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK. The bug here is that we save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t" from sys_futex. This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem where abs_time is no longer valid. I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart. The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds) was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to use the restart with specific parameters. This way the futex code now saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing it on the stack. Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64 in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that. Not sure what that is there for. If this turns out to be a problem, I've tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be consistent with what the futex code uses.

2007-10-19Uninline find_task_by_xxx set of functionsPavel Emelyanov
The find_task_by_something is a set of macros are used to find task by pid depending on what kind of pid is proposed - global or virtual one. All of them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() - and just substitute some args for it. It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to grow. This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c. Together with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text section.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

2007-10-01robust futex thread exit raceMartin Schwidefsky
Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex. fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1) some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some mutexs held by a different thread are freed. The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
