Commit 8b401f9ed2 ("bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper")
added helper bpf_send_signal() which permits bpf program to
send a signal to the current process. The signal may be
delivered to any threads in the process.
We found a use case where sending the signal to the current
thread is more preferable.
- A bpf program will collect the stack trace and then
send signal to the user application.
- The user application will add some thread specific
information to the just collected stack trace for
later analysis.
If bpf_send_signal() is used, user application will need
to check whether the thread receiving the signal matches
the thread collecting the stack by checking thread id.
If not, it will need to send signal to another thread
through pthread_kill().
This patch proposed a new helper bpf_send_signal_thread(),
which sends the signal to the thread corresponding to
the current kernel task. This way, user space is guaranteed that
bpf_program execution context and user space signal handling
context are the same thread.

The test_cgcore_no_internal_process_constraint_on_threads selftest when
running with subsystem controlling noise triggers two warnings:
> [ 597.443115] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3131 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0xe0/0x3f0
> [ 597.443413] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3177 cgroup_apply_control_disable+0xa6/0x160
Both stem from a call to cgroup_type_write. The first warning was also
triggered by syzkaller.
When we're switching cgroup to threaded mode shortly after a subsystem
was disabled on it, we can see the respective subsystem css dying there.
The warning in cgroup_apply_control_enable is harmless in this case
since we're not adding new subsys anyway.
The warning in cgroup_apply_control_disable indicates an attempt to kill
css of recently disabled subsystem repeatedly.
The commit prevents these situations by making cgroup_type_write wait
for all dying csses to go away before re-applying subtree controls.
When at it, the locations of WARN_ON_ONCE calls are moved so that
warning is triggered only when we are about to misuse the dying css.

It's surprising that workqueue_execute_end includes only the work when
its counterpart workqueue_execute_start has both the work and the worker
function.
You can't set a tracing filter or trigger based on the function, and
postprocessing scripts interested in specific functions are harder to
write since they have to remember the work from _start and match it up
with the same field in _end.
Add the function name, taking care to use the copy stashed in the
worker since the work is no longer safe to touch.

Replace these unneeded RCU-list traversals with normal list

When the key cached by request_key() and co. is cleaned up on exit(),
the code looks in the wrong task_struct, and so clears the wrong cache.
This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel
build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a
use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys.
Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather
than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and
potentially run in another task).

VDSO support for Time namespace needs to set up a page with the same
layout as VVAR. That timens page will be placed on position of VVAR page
inside namespace. That page contains time namespace clock offsets and it
has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and
vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace
handling path.
Allocate the timens page during namespace creation. Setup the offsets
when the first task enters the ns and freeze them to guarantee the pace
of monotonic/boottime clocks and to avoid breakage of applications.
The design decision is to have a global offset_lock which is used during
namespace offsets setup and to freeze offsets when the first task joins the
new time namespace. That is better in terms of memory usage compared to
having a per namespace mutex that's used only during the setup period.

Wire timer_settime() syscall into time namespace virtualization.
sys_timer_settime() calls the ktime->timer_set() callback. Right now,
common_timer_set() is the only implementation for the callback.
The user-supplied expiry value is converted from timespec64 to ktime and
then timens_ktime_to_host() can be used to convert namespace's time to the
host time.
Inside a time namespace kernel's time differs by a fixed offset from a
user-supplied time, but only absolute values (TIMER_ABSTIME) must be

Time Namespace isolates clock values.
The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.
CLOCK_REALTIME
System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC
Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
some unspecified starting point.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME
Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
that the system is suspended.
For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and
time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of
CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious
value.
But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be
guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.
A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is
created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace,
but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process
will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns()
system call to join a namespace.
This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any
processes appear in it.
All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest
bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and
the clone3() system calls.
[ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the
changelog a bit. ]

This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors from other
processes, based on their pidfd. This is possible using ptrace, and
injection of parasitic code to inject code which leverages SCM_RIGHTS
to move file descriptors between a tracee and a tracer. Unfortunately,
ptrace comes with a high cost of requiring the process to be stopped,
and breaks debuggers. This does not require stopping the process under
manipulation.
One reason to use this is to allow sandboxers to take actions on file
descriptors on the behalf of another process. For example, this can be
combined with seccomp-bpf's user notification to do on-demand fd
extraction and take privileged actions. One such privileged action
is binding a socket to a privileged port.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

eBPF requires needing to know the size of the perf ring buffer structure.
But it unfortunately has the same name as the generic ring buffer used by
tracing and oprofile. To make it less ambiguous, rename the perf ring buffer
structure to "perf_buffer".
As other parts of the ring buffer code has "perf_" as the prefix, it only
makes sense to give the ring buffer the "perf_" prefix as well.

Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series of patches to fix CLONE_SETTLS when used with
clone3().
The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args
instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not
implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via
copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument
based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value
will be garbage.
The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure
that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to
also implement copy_thread_tls().
My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls()
split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too
distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply
copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This
is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3().
While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing:
ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not
implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of
ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.
This series also includes a minor fix for the arm64 uapi headers which
caused __NR_clone3 to be missing from the exported user headers.
Unfortunately the series came in a little late especially given that
it touches a range of architectures. Due to the holidays not all arch
maintainers responded in time probably due to their backlog. Will and
Arnd have thankfully acked the arm specific changes.
Given that the changes are straightforward and rather minimal combined
with the fact the that clone3() with CLONE_SETTLS is broken I decided
to send them post rc3 nonetheless"
