The shadow variable selftest is quite tricky. Especially it is problematic
to understand what values are stored, returned, and printed.Make it easier to understand by using "int *var, **sv" variables
consistently everywhere instead of the generic "void *", "ret",
and "ctor_data".Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek

The "leak" pointer, in the sample of shadow variable API, is allocated
as sizeof(int). Let's help developers and static analyzers with
understanding the code by using the appropriate pointer type.Reported-by: Dan Carpenter

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"There are several notable changes here:- Single thread migrating itself has been optimized so that it
doesn't need threadgroup rwsem anymore.- Freezer optimization to avoid unnecessary frozen state changes.
- cgroup ID unification so that cgroup fs ino is the only unique ID
used for the cgroup and can be used to directly look up live
cgroups through filehandle interface on 64bit ino archs. On 32bit
archs, cgroup fs ino is still the only ID in use but it is only
unique when combined with gen.- selftest and other changes"

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
- A pidfd's fdinfo file currently contains the field "Pid:\t"
where is the pid of the process in the pid namespace of the
procfs instance the fdinfo file for the pidfd was opened in.The fdinfo file has now gained a new "NSpid:\t[\t[...]]"
field which lists the pids of the process in all child pid namespaces
provided the pid namespace of the procfs instance it is looked up
under has an ancestoral relationship with the pid namespace of the
process. If it does not 0 will be shown and no further pid namespaces
will be listed. Tests included. (Christian Kellner)- If the process the pidfd references has already exited, print -1 for
the Pid and NSpid fields in the pidfd's fdinfo file. Tests included.
(me)- Add CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND. This lets callers clear all signal handler
that are not SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN at process creation time. This
originated as a feature request from glibc to improve performance and
elimate races in their posix_spawn() implementation. Tests included.
(me)- Add support for choosing a specific pid for a process with clone3().
This is the feature which was part of the thread update for v5.4 but
after a discussion at LPC in Lisbon we decided to delay it for one
more cycle in order to make the interface more generic. This has now
done. It is now possible to choose a specific pid in a whole pid
namespaces (sub)hierarchy instead of just one pid namespace. In order
to choose a specific pid the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in all
owning user namespaces of the target pid namespaces. Tests included.
(Adrian Reber)- Test improvements and extensions. (Andrei Vagin, me)

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Apart from the arm64-specific bits (core arch and perf, new arm64
selftests), it touches the generic cow_user_page() (reviewed by
Kirill) together with a macro for x86 to preserve the existing
behaviour on this architecture.Summary:
- On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().- Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in

- per-filesystem, set at mkfs time
- fast hash (crc32c successor): xxhash, 64bit digest
- strong hashes (both 256bit): sha256 (slower, FIPS), blake2b
(faster)
- the blake2b module goes via the crypto tree, btrfs.ko has a
soft dependency- speed up lseek, don't take inode locks unnecessarily, this can
speed up parallel SEEK_CUR/SEEK_SET/SEEK_END by 80%- send:
- allow clone operations within the same file
- limit maximum number of sent clone references to avoid slow
backref walking- error message improvements: device scan prints process name and PID
Core changes:
- cleanups
- remove unique workqueue helpers, used to provide a way to avoid
deadlocks in the workqueue code, now done in a simpler way
- remove lots of indirect function calls in compression code
- extent IO tree code moved out of extent_io.c
- cleanup backup superblock handling at mount time
- transaction life cycle documentation and cleanups
- locking code cleanups, annotations and documentation
- add more cold, const, pure function attributes
- removal of unused or redundant struct members or variables- new tree-checker sanity tests
- try to detect missing INODE_ITEM, cross-reference checks of
DIR_ITEM, DIR_INDEX, INODE_REF, and XATTR_* items- remove own bio scheduling code (used to avoid checksum submissions
being stuck behind other IO), replaced by cgroup controller-based
code to allow better control and avoid priority inversions in cases
where the custom and cgroup scheduling disagreedFixes:

workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
generic async system call support.- With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
built on top of that.- Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)

fdget_pos() is used by file operations that will read and update f_pos:
things like "read()", "write()" and "lseek()" (but not, for example,
"pread()/pwrite" that get their file positions elsewhere).However, it had two separate escape clauses for this, because not
everybody wants or needs serialization of the file position.The first and most obvious case is the "file descriptor doesn't have a
position at all", ie a stream-like file. Except we didn't actually use
FMODE_STREAM, but instead used FMODE_ATOMIC_POS. The reason for that
was that FMODE_STREAM didn't exist back in the days, but also that we
didn't want to mark all the special cases, so we only marked the ones
that _required_ position atomicity according to POSIX - regular files
and directories.The case one was intentionally lazy, but now that we _do_ have
FMODE_STREAM we could and should just use it. With the change to use
FMODE_STREAM, there are no remaining uses for FMODE_ATOMIC_POS, and all
the code to set it is deleted.Any cases where we don't want the serialization because the driver (or
subsystem) doesn't use the file position should just be updated to do
"stream_open()". We've done that for all the obvious and common
situations, we may need a few more. Quoting Kirill Smelkov in the
original FMODE_STREAM thread (see link below for full email):"And I appreciate if people could help at least somehow with "getting
rid of mixed case entirely" (i.e. always lock f_pos_lock on
!FMODE_STREAM), because this transition starts to diverge from my
particular use-case too far. To me it makes sense to do that
transition as follows:- convert nonseekable_open -> stream_open via stream_open.cocci;
- audit other nonseekable_open calls and convert left users that
truly don't depend on position to stream_open;
- extend stream_open.cocci to analyze alloc_file_pseudo as well (this
will cover pipes and sockets), or maybe convert pipes and sockets
to FMODE_STREAM manually;
- extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations that use
no_llseek or noop_llseek, but do not use nonseekable_open or
alloc_file_pseudo. This might find files that have stream semantic
but are opened differently;
- extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations whose
.read/.write do not use ppos at all (independently of how file was
opened);
- ...
- after that remove FMODE_ATOMIC_POS and always take f_pos_lock if
!FMODE_STREAM;
- gather bug reports for deadlocked read/write and convert missed
cases to FMODE_STREAM, probably extending stream_open.cocci along
the road to catch similar casesi.e. always take f_pos_lock unless a file is explicitly marked as
being stream, and try to find and cover all files that are streams"We have not done the "extend stream_open.cocci to analyze
alloc_file_pseudo" as well, but the previous commit did manually handle
the case of pipes and sockets.The other case where we can avoid locking f_pos is the "this file
descriptor only has a single user and it is us, and thus there is no
need to lock it".The second test was correct, although a bit subtle and worth just
re-iterating here. There are two kinds of other sources of references
to the same file descriptor: file descriptors that have been explicitly
shared across fork() or with dup(), and file tables having elevated
reference counts due to threading (or explicit file sharing with
clone()).The first case would have incremented the file count explicitly, and in
the second case the previous __fdget() would have incremented it for us
and set the FDPUT_FPUT flag.But in both cases the file count would be greater than one, so the
"file_count(file) > 1" test catches both situations. Also note that if
file_count is 1, that also means that no other thread can have access to
the file table, so there also cannot be races with concurrent calls to
dup()/fork()/clone() that would increment the file count any other way.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190413184404.GA13490@deco.navytux.spb.ru

In commit 3975b097e577 ("convert stream-like files -> stream_open, even
if they use noop_llseek") Kirill used a coccinelle script to change
"nonseekable_open()" to "stream_open()", which changed the trivial cases
of stream-like file descriptors to the new model with FMODE_STREAM.However, the two big cases - sockets and pipes - don't actually have
that trivial pattern at all, and were thus never converted to
FMODE_STREAM even though it makes lots of sense to do so.That's particularly true when looking forward to the next change:
getting rid of FMODE_ATOMIC_POS entirely, and just using FMODE_STREAM to
decide whether f_pos updates are needed or not. And if they are, we'll
always do them atomically.This came up because KCSAN (correctly) noted that the non-locked f_pos
updates are data races: they are clearly benign for the case where we
don't care, but it would be good to just not have that issue exist at
all.Note that the reason we used FMODE_ATOMIC_POS originally is that only
doing it for the minimal required case is "safer" in that it's possible
that the f_pos locking can cause unnecessary serialization across the
whole write() call. And in the worst case, that kind of serialization
can cause deadlock issues: think writers that need readers to empty the
state using the same file descriptor.[ Note that the locking is per-file descriptor - because it protects
"f_pos", which is obviously per-file descriptor - so it only affects
cases where you literally use the same file descriptor to both read
and write.So a regular pipe that has separate reading and writing file
descriptors doesn't really have this situation even though it's the
obvious case of "reader empties what a bit writer concurrently fills"But we want to make pipes as being stream-line anyway, because we
don't want the unnecessary overhead of locking, and because a named
pipe can be (ab-)used by reading and writing to the same file
descriptor. ]There are likely a lot of other cases that might want FMODE_STREAM, and
looking for ".llseek = no_llseek" users and other cases that don't have
an lseek file operation at all and making them use "stream_open()" might
be a good idea. But pipes and sockets are likely to be the two main
cases.Cc: Kirill Smelkov
