ipc/util.c: cleanup and improve sysvipc_find_ipc()

sysvipc_find_ipc() can be simplified further:

- It uses a for() loop to locate the next entry in the idr.
This can be replaced with idr_get_next().

- It receives two parameters (pos - which is actually
an idr index and not a position, and new_pos, which
is really a position).
One parameter is sufficient.

ipc: WARN if trying to remove ipc object which is absent

Patch series "shm: shm_rmid_forced feature fixes".

Some time ago I met kernel crash after CRIU restore procedure,
fortunately, it was CRIU restore, so, I had dump files and could do
restore many times and crash reproduced easily. After some
investigation I've constructed the minimal reproducer. It was found
that it's use-after-free and it happens only if sysctl
kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1.

The key of the problem is that the exit_shm() function not handles shp's
object destroy when task->sysvshm.shm_clist contains items from
different IPC namespaces. In most cases this list will contain only
items from one IPC namespace.

How can this list contain object from different namespaces? The
exit_shm() function is designed to clean up this list always when
process leaves IPC namespace. But we made a mistake a long time ago and
did not add a exit_shm() call into the setns() syscall procedures.

The first idea was just to add this call to setns() syscall but it
obviously changes semantics of setns() syscall and that's
userspace-visible change. So, I gave up on this idea.

The first real attempt to address the issue was just to omit forced
destroy if we meet shp object not from current task IPC namespace [1].
But that was not the best idea because task->sysvshm.shm_clist was
protected by rwsem which belongs to current task IPC namespace. It
means that list corruption may occur.

Second approach is just extend exit_shm() to properly handle shp's from
different IPC namespaces [2]. This is really non-trivial thing, I've
put a lot of effort into that but not believed that it's possible to
make it fully safe, clean and clear.

Thanks to the efforts of Manfred Spraul working an elegant solution was
designed. Thanks a lot, Manfred!

Eric also suggested the way to address the issue in ("[RFC][PATCH] shm:
In shm_exit destroy all created and never attached segments") Eric's
idea was to maintain a list of shm_clists one per IPC namespace, use
lock-less lists. But there is some extra memory consumption-related
concerns.

An alternative solution which was suggested by me was implemented in
("shm: reset shm_clist on setns but omit forced shm destroy"). The idea
is pretty simple, we add exit_shm() syscall to setns() but DO NOT
destroy shm segments even if sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, we just
clean up the task->sysvshm.shm_clist list.

This chages semantics of setns() syscall a little bit but in comparision
to the "naive" solution when we just add exit_shm() without any special
exclusions this looks like a safer option.

This patch (of 2):

Let's produce a warning if we trying to remove non-existing IPC object
from IPC namespace kht/idr structures.

This allows us to catch possible bugs when the ipc_rmid() function was
called with inconsistent struct ipc_ids*, struct kern_ipc_perm*
arguments.

ipc: replace costly bailout check in sysvipc_find_ipc()

sysvipc_find_ipc() was left with a costly way to check if the offset
position fed to it is bigger than the total number of IPC IDs in use. So
much so that the time it takes to iterate over /proc/sysvipc/* files grows
exponentially for a custom benchmark that creates "N" SYSV shm segments
and then times the read of /proc/sysvipc/shm (milliseconds):

12 msecs to read 1024 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
18 msecs to read 2048 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
65 msecs to read 4096 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
325 msecs to read 8192 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
1303 msecs to read 16384 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
5182 msecs to read 32768 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm

The root problem lies with the loop that computes the total amount of ids
in use to check if the "pos" feeded to sysvipc_find_ipc() grew bigger than
"ids->in_use". That is a quite inneficient way to get to the maximum
index in the id lookup table, specially when that value is already
provided by struct ipc_ids.max_idx.

This patch follows up on the optimization introduced via commit
15df03c879836 ("sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again") and gets rid of the
aforementioned costly loop replacing it by a simpler checkpoint based on
ipc_get_maxidx() returned value, which allows for a smooth linear increase
in time complexity for the same custom benchmark:

2 msecs to read 1024 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
2 msecs to read 2048 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
4 msecs to read 4096 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
9 msecs to read 8192 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
19 msecs to read 16384 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm
39 msecs to read 32768 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm

ipc/util.c: use binary search for max_idx

If semctl(), msgctl() and shmctl() are called with IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
MSG_INFO or SHM_INFO, then the return value is the index of the highest
used index in the kernel's internal array recording information about all
SysV objects of the requested type for the current namespace. (This
information can be used with repeated ..._STAT or ..._STAT_ANY operations
to obtain information about all SysV objects on the system.)

There is a cache for this value. But when the cache needs up be updated,
then the highest used index is determined by looping over all possible
values. With the introduction of IPCMNI_EXTEND_SHIFT, this could be a
loop over 16 million entries. And due to /proc/sys/kernel/*next_id, the
index values do not need to be consecutive.

With <write 16000000 to msg_next_id>, msgget(), msgctl(,IPC_RMID) in a
loop, I have observed a performance increase of around factor 13000.

As there is no get_last() function for idr structures: Implement a
"get_last()" using a binary search.

As far as I see, ipc is the only user that needs get_last(), thus
implement it in ipc/util.c and not in a central location.

Whenever an IPC item with a low id is deleted, the items with higher ids
are duplicated, as if filling a hole.

new_pos should jump through hole of unused ids, pos can be updated
inside "for" cycle.

proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files

Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which
could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"...

Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close
reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens
if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never
disappear simply do not need such protection.

Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such
"permanent" files.

Enable "permanent" flag for

/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/kmsg
/proc/modules
/proc/slabinfo
/proc/stat
/proc/sysvipc/*
/proc/swaps

More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module
authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.

This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times
by N threads scattered over the system".

ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.

For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.

For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx). The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
2) At least, the cycling is done over
"normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
"ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
tree.
Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
x=semget();
for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
y=semget();
Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
(2<<12).

ipc: conserve sequence numbers in ipcmni_extend mode

Rewrite, based on the patch from Waiman Long:

The mixing in of a sequence number into the IPC IDs is probably to avoid
ID reuse in userspace as much as possible. With ipcmni_extend mode, the
number of usable sequence numbers is greatly reduced leading to higher
chance of ID reuse.

To address this issue, we need to conserve the sequence number space as
much as possible. Right now, the sequence number is incremented for
every new ID created. In reality, we only need to increment the
sequence number when new allocated ID is not greater than the last one
allocated. It is in such case that the new ID may collide with an
existing one. This is being done irrespective of the ipcmni mode.

In order to avoid any races, the index is first allocated and then the
pointer is replaced.

Changes compared to the initial patch:
- Handle failures from idr_alloc().
- Avoid that concurrent operations can see the wrong sequence number.
(This is achieved by using idr_replace()).
- IPCMNI_SEQ_SHIFT is not a constant, thus renamed to
ipcmni_seq_shift().
- IPCMNI_SEQ_MAX is not a constant, thus renamed to ipcmni_seq_max().

ipc: allow boot time extension of IPCMNI from 32k to 16M

The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to
32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases.

However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially
those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique
identifiers. To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel
option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M. This
is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that
need a large number of unique IPC identifier.

The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC
identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2). An application that
depends on such pattern may not work properly. So it should only be
used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers.

This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number
of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128. So it is a trade-off.

The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical
path. So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real
performance impact.

rhashtable: use bit_spin_locks to protect hash bucket.

This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the
bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket.

The benefits of a bit spin_lock are:
- no need to allocate a separate array of locks.
- no need to have a configuration option to guide the
choice of the size of this array
- locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line
that will have to be loaded anyway. When inserting at, or removing
from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new
address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit.
For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens
when adding a new key.
- even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are
in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway.

The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity,
which I think is quite manageable.

Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair -
if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can
easily be starved. This is not a credible situation with rhashtable.
Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they
will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to
acquire different locks.

As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at
least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to
go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory
consumption.

To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the
pointer plus lock-bit
that is stored in the bucket-table. This is "struct rhash_lock_head"
and is empty. A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an
unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful.
Variables of this type are most often called "bkt".

Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a
->next pointer in an rhash_head. As these are now different types,
pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case,
'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol.

ipc: get rid of ids->tables_initialized hack

In sysvipc we have an ids->tables_initialized regarding the rhashtable,
introduced in 0cfb6aee70bd ("ipc: optimize semget/shmget/msgget for lots
of keys")

It's there, specifically, to prevent nil pointer dereferences, from using
an uninitialized api. Considering how rhashtable_init() can fail
(probably due to ENOMEM, if anything), this made the overall ipc
initialization capable of failure as well. That alone is ugly, but fine,
however I've spotted a few issues regarding the semantics of
tables_initialized (however unlikely they may be):

- There is inconsistency in what we return to userspace: ipc_addid()
returns ENOSPC which is certainly _wrong_, while ipc_obtain_object_idr()
returns EINVAL.

- After we started using rhashtables, ipc_findkey() can return nil upon
!tables_initialized, but the caller expects nil for when the ipc
structure isn't found, and can therefore call into ipcget() callbacks.

Now that rhashtable initialization cannot fail, we can properly get rid of
the hack altogether.

ipc: drop ipc_lock()

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
an id number.

There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.

The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
but this is not obvious from the function name.

Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply
move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

ipc: reorganize initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called idr_alloc()
(within ipc_idr_alloc()).

Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check()
may see an uninitialized value.

The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the calls
of idr_alloc().

Notes:
1) This patch has a user space visible side effect:
If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and
if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id
to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is
remained unmodified.

There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call: It
always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore
code as that code does not use .._next_id.

2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(),
the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid()
do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required.

The patch is a squash of a patch from Dmitry and my own changes.
