[ Upstream commit 2840cf02fae627860156737e83326df354ee4ec6 ]

When the prev and next task's mm change, switch_mm() provides the core
serializing guarantees before returning to usermode. The only case
where an explicit core serialization is needed is when the scheduler
keeps the same mm for prev and next.

<title>sched/fair: Don't free p-&gt;numa_faults with concurrent readers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33</id>
<content type='text'>
When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

<content type='text'>
Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside.  There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits.  This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.

In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.

The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially.  Without patch

task-&gt;saved_sigmask and -&gt;restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from-
syscall paths.  This means that set_user_sigmask() can save -&gt;blocked in
-&gt;saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that -&gt;blocked
was modified.

This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and
restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns
into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

struct sighand_struct::siglock field is the most used field by far, put

The introduction of clone3 syscall accidentally broke CLONE_PIDFD
support in traditional clone syscall on compat x86 and those
architectures that use do_fork to implement clone syscall.

This bug was found by strace test suite.

Pull clone3 system call from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the clone3 syscall which is an extensible successor to clone
  after we snagged the last flag with CLONE_PIDFD during the 5.2 merge
  window for clone(). It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone()
  and thus all legacy workloads.

  There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone.
  First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse
  this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause
  EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal"
  argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And
  third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct
  clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr
  argument.

  The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit:

    /* uapi */
    struct clone_args {
            __aligned_u64 flags;
            __aligned_u64 pidfd;
            __aligned_u64 child_tid;
            __aligned_u64 parent_tid;
            __aligned_u64 exit_signal;
            __aligned_u64 stack;
            __aligned_u64 stack_size;
            __aligned_u64 tls;
    };

  and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing:

    /* kernel internal */
    struct kernel_clone_args {
            u64 flags;
            int __user *pidfd;
            int __user *child_tid;
            int __user *parent_tid;
            int exit_signal;
            unsigned long stack;
            unsigned long stack_size;
            unsigned long tls;
    };

  The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to
  detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3
  validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about
  are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page.

  A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and
  simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the
  internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for
  legacy clone().

  This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to
  introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag.

  Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and
  xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special
  massaging.

  Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and
  after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we
  dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to
  leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why
  there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
  which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for
  clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures
  such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply
  including asm-generic/unistd.h. The hope is to get rid of
  __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and cond_syscall() rather soon"

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
