proc: Make inline name size calculation automatic

2018-06-15T04:48:57Z

Make calculation of the size of the inline name in struct proc_dir_entry automatic, rather than having to manually encode the numbers and failing to allow for lockdep. Require a minimum inline name size of 33+1 to allow for names that look like two hex numbers with a dash between. Reported-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro

proc: move "struct proc_dir_entry" into kmem cache

2018-04-11T17:28:34Z

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing array for name, however, because of SLAB padding allocations it is possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same amount of memory. It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches. Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on 64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway. Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are rare or may not even exist in the wild.

proc: account "struct pde_opener"

2018-04-11T17:28:33Z

The allocation is persistent in fact as any fool can open a file in /proc and sit on it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180214082409.GC17157@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Al Viro Cc: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: move "struct pde_opener" to kmem cache

2018-04-11T17:28:33Z

"struct pde_opener" is fixed size and we can have more granular approach to debugging. For those who don't know, per cache SLUB poisoning and red zoning don't work if there is at least one object allocated which is hopeless in case of kmalloc-64 but not in case of standalone cache. Although systemd opens 2 files from the get go, so it is hopeless after all.

proc: faster open/close of files without ->release hook

2018-04-11T17:28:33Z

The whole point of code in fs/proc/inode.c is to make sure ->release hook is called either at close() or at rmmod time. All if it is unnecessary if there is no ->release hook. Save allocation+list manipulations under spinlock in that case.

proc: do less stuff under ->pde_unload_lock

2018-04-11T17:28:33Z

Commit ca469f35a8e9ef ("deal with races between remove_proc_entry() and proc_reg_release()") moved too much stuff under ->pde_unload_lock making a problem described at series "[PATCH v5] procfs: Improve Scaling in proc" worse. While RCU is being figured out, move kfree() out of ->pde_unload_lock. On my potato, difference is only 0.5% speedup with concurrent open+read+close of /proc/cmdline, but the effect should be more noticeable on more capable machines. $ perf stat -r 16 -- ./proc-j 16 Performance counter stats for './proc-j 16' (16 runs): 130569.502377 task-clock (msec) # 15.872 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.05% ) 19,169 context-switches # 0.147 K/sec ( +- 0.18% ) 15 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec ( +- 3.27% ) 437 page-faults # 0.003 K/sec ( +- 1.25% ) 300,172,097,675 cycles # 2.299 GHz ( +- 0.05% ) 96,793,267,308 instructions # 0.32 insn per cycle ( +- 0.04% ) 22,798,342,298 branches # 174.607 M/sec ( +- 0.04% ) 111,764,687 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches ( +- 0.47% ) 8.226574400 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% ) ^^^^^^^^^^^ $ perf stat -r 16 -- ./proc-j 16 Performance counter stats for './proc-j 16' (16 runs): 129866.777392 task-clock (msec) # 15.869 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.04% ) 19,154 context-switches # 0.147 K/sec ( +- 0.66% ) 14 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec ( +- 1.73% ) 431 page-faults # 0.003 K/sec ( +- 1.09% ) 298,556,520,546 cycles # 2.299 GHz ( +- 0.04% ) 96,525,366,833 instructions # 0.32 insn per cycle ( +- 0.04% ) 22,730,194,043 branches # 175.027 M/sec ( +- 0.04% ) 111,506,074 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches ( +- 0.18% ) 8.183629778 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.04% ) ^^^^^^^^^^^ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180213132911.GA24298@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: spread likely/unlikely a bit

2018-02-07T02:32:43Z

use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module (read: never). So it gets "likely". unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason. close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is a race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever).

Merge branch 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2018-01-31T01:58:07Z

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro: "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as 'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local variables used to hold the future return value'. Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those in this series - it's large enough as it is. Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are arch-independent, but POLL### are not. The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll() work on all architectures. As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered at all on sparc.
