In commit fa8b9007 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Commit 79edff12 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9") broke booting on Microblaze systems depending on the build. The problem is libfdt gained an 8-byte starting alignment check, but the Microblaze built-in DTB area is only 4-byte aligned. This affected not just built-in DTBs as bootloader passed DTBs are copied into the built-in DTB region. Other arches using built-in DTBs use a common linker macro which has sufficient alignment.

This implements the missing mount_setattr() syscall. While the new mount api allows to change the properties of a superblock there is currently no way to change the properties of a mount or a mount tree using file descriptors which the new mount api is based on. In addition the old mount api has the restriction that mount options cannot be applied recursively. This hasn't changed since changing mount options on a per-mount basis was implemented in [1] and has been a frequent request not just for convenience but also for security reasons. The legacy mount syscall is unable to accommodate this behavior without introducing a whole new set of flags because MS_REC | MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND | MS_RDONLY | MS_NOEXEC | [...] only apply the mount option to the topmost mount. Changing MS_REC to apply to the whole mount tree would mean introducing a significant uapi change and would likely cause significant regressions. The new mount_setattr() syscall allows to recursively clear and set mount options in one shot. Multiple calls to change mount options requesting the same changes are idempotent: int mount_setattr(int dfd, const char *path, unsigned flags, struct mount_attr *uattr, size_t usize); Flags to modify path resolution behavior are specified in the @flags argument. Currently, AT_EMPTY_PATH, AT_RECURSIVE, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, and AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT are supported. If useful, additional lookup flags to restrict path resolution as introduced with openat2() might be supported in the future. The mount_setattr() syscall can be expected to grow over time and is designed with extensibility in mind. It follows the extensible syscall pattern we have used with other syscalls such as openat2(), clone3(), sched_{set,get}attr(), and others. The set of mount options is passed in the uapi struct mount_attr which currently has the following layout: struct mount_attr { __u64 attr_set; __u64 attr_clr; __u64 propagation; __u64 userns_fd; }; The @attr_set and @attr_clr members are used to clear and set mount options. This way a user can e.g. request that a set of flags is to be raised such as turning mounts readonly by raising MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY in @attr_set while at the same time requesting that another set of flags is to be lowered such as removing noexec from a mount tree by specifying MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC in @attr_clr. Note, since the MOUNT_ATTR_<atime> values are an enum starting from 0, not a bitmap, users wanting to transition to a different atime setting cannot simply specify the atime setting in @attr_set, but must also specify MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME in the @attr_clr field. So we ensure that MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME can't be partially set in @attr_clr and that @attr_set can't have any atime bits set if MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME isn't set in @attr_clr. The @propagation field lets callers specify the propagation type of a mount tree. Propagation is a single property that has four different settings and as such is not really a flag argument but an enum. Specifically, it would be unclear what setting and clearing propagation settings in combination would amount to. The legacy mount() syscall thus forbids the combination of multiple propagation settings too. The goal is to keep the semantics of mount propagation somewhat simple as they are overly complex as it is. The @userns_fd field lets user specify a user namespace whose idmapping becomes the idmapping of the mount. This is implemented and explained in detail in the next patch.

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to require each one to select that symbol manually. Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as a simplification. It should be possible to select both GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now and decide at runtime between the two. For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO. At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add around 5.5KB in kernel image size: text data bss dec hex filename 3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent 3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large, around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService. The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without any app involvement. To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very cache friendly environment). Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2) with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support feature. ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully. The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API. I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus, I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch. If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a buggy syscall but hard to fix it later. So finally, the API is as follows, ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec, unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve system or application performance. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information) The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in <sys/uio.h> as: struct iovec { void *iov_base; /* starting address */ size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */ }; The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base) and with size length of bytes(iov_len). The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec. The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is external. MADV_COLD MADV_PAGEOUT Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2). The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target process is in same thread group with calling process so user could use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support vector address ranges. RETURN VALUE On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised. This return value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value to determine whether a partial advice occurred. FAQ: Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge? Quote from Sandeep "For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer) are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the preloading during boot. After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the application. In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides which process is "important" to the user for interactivity. So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know* which address range of the application is not used / useful. Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory, please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1]. They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do. So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant memory in these applications will be useful. - ssp Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target process? process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space target process can run between the time the process_madvise process inspects the target process address space and the time that process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write. The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level, there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more fine-grained optimization model. To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument so we could support it in future if someone really needs it. Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work? Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at most one ptracer.

In order to make adding configurable features into seccomp easier, it's better to have the options at one single location, considering especially that the bulk of seccomp code is arch-independent. An quick look also show that many SECCOMP descriptions are outdated; they talk about /proc rather than prctl. As a result of moving the config option and keeping it default on, architectures arm, arm64, csky, riscv, sh, and xtensa did not have SECCOMP on by default prior to this and SECCOMP will be default in this change. Architectures microblaze, mips, powerpc, s390, sh, and sparc have an outdated depend on PROC_FS and this dependency is removed in this change. Suggested-by:
