ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone. New objects
start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization
after the call. Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and
sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach
doesn't work.
Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.

The actual Linux implementation for semctl(GETNCNT) and semctl(GETZCNT)
always (since 0.99.10) reported a thread as sleeping on all semaphores
that are listed in the semop() call.
The documented behavior (both in the Linux man page and in the Single
Unix Specification) is that a task should be reported on exactly one
semaphore: The semaphore that caused the thread to got to sleep.
This patch adds a pr_info_once() that is triggered if a thread hits the
relevant case.
The code triggers slightly too often, otherwise it would be necessary to
replicate the old code. As there are no known users of GETNCNT or
GETZCNT, this is done to prevent unnecessary bloat.
The task that triggered is reported with name (tsk->comm) and pid.

SUSv4 clearly defines how semncnt and semzcnt must be calculated: A task
waits on exactly one semaphore: The semaphore from the first operation
in the sop array that cannot proceed.
The Linux implementation never followed the standard, it tried to count
all semaphores that might be the reason why a task sleeps.
This patch fixes that.
Note:
a) The implementation assumes that GETNCNT and GETZCNT are rare operations,
therefore the code counts them only on demand.
(If they wouldn't be rare, then the non-compliance would have
been found earlier)
b) compared to the initial version of the patch, the BUG_ONs were removed
and it was clarified that the new behavior conforms to SUS.
Back-compatibility concerns:
Manfred:
: - there is no application in Fedora that uses GETNCNT or GETZCNT.
:
: - application that use only single-sop semop() are also safe, the
: difference only affects complex apps.
:
: - portable application are also safe, the new behavior is standard
: compliant.
:
: But that's it. The old behavior existed in Linux from 0.99.something
: until now.
Michael:
: * These operations seem to be very little used. Grepping the public
: source that is contained Fedora 20 source DVD, there appear to be no
: uses. Of course, this says nothing about uses in private /
: non-mainstream FOSS code, but it seems likely that the same pattern
: is followed there.
:
: * The existing behavior is hard enough to understand that I suspect
: that no one understood it well enough to rely on it anyway
: (especially as that behavior contradicted both man page and POSIX).
:
: So, there's a chance of breakage, but I estimate that it's minute.

When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check
for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored
immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value.
The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more
operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have
different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO
flag. For example:
struct sembuf depositor_op[1];
struct sembuf collector_op[2];
depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0;
depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000;
depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0;
collector_op[0].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
collector_op[1].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; }
if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; }
return 0;
It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd
collector operation.

After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.
- semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
should be ok: all lists are empty)
- semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
access memory after free.
The patch also:
- standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
function leave the function with the same approach.
- unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
tested twice.
Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").
The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.

But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify

anymore.
The fix is simple:
Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.
If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race. Details are below.
The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.
I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.
The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels

the spin_is_locked() test.

- Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
- Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).

Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
RCU. However, since security modules can free the security structure,
for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
creating a use-after-free condition. Manfred illustrates this nicely,
for instance with shared mem and selinux:
-> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
-> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
Then it returns.
-> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
-> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
-> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security
shm_close()
-> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
-> shm_close calls shm_destroy
-> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
-> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
-> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)
This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
readers are done. Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
kept. Linus states:
"... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
_prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."
I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server. In both cases selinux is
enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything
we weren't aware of.

There are two places that can contain alter operations:
- the global queue: sma->pending_alter
- the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter.
Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd
priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over
simple ops.
The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting
operation has the highest priority.
This is done by using only one queue:
- if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used.
- otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used.
As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more
goto logic.

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.
do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
scanned again
And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()
The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as

The semctl GETNCNT returns the number of semops waiting for the
specified semaphore to become nonzero. After commit 9f1bc2c902
("ipc,sem: have only one list in struct sem_queue"), the semops waiting
on just one semaphore are waiting on that semaphore's list.
In order to return the correct count, we have to walk that list too, in
addition to the sem_array's list for complex operations.

With various straight RCU lock/unlock movements, one common exit path
pattern had become
rcu_read_unlock();
goto out_wakeup;
and in fact there were no cases where we wanted to exit to out_wakeup
_without_ releasing the RCU read lock.
So replace that pattern with "goto out_rcu_wakeup", and remove the old
out_wakeup.

sem_obtain_lock() was another of those functions that returned with the
RCU lock held for reading in the success case. Move the RCU locking to
the caller (semtimedop()), making it more obvious. We already did RCU
locking elsewhere in that function.
Side note: why does semtimedop() re-do the semphore lookup after the
sleep, rather than just getting a reference to the semaphore it already
looked up originally?

Fix another ipc locking buglet introduced by the scalability patches:
when semctl_down() was changed to delay the semaphore locking, one error
path for security_sem_semctl() went through the semaphore unlock logic
even though the semaphore had never been locked.
Introduced by commit 16df3674ef ("ipc,sem: do not hold ipc lock more
than necessary")

This is another ipc semaphore locking cleanup, trying to make the
locking more straightforward. We move the rcu read locking into the
callers of sem_lock_and_putref(), which in general means that we now
mostly do the rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() in the same
function.
Mostly. We still have the ipc_addid/newary/freeary mess, and things
like ipcctl_pre_down_nolock().

ipc_rcu_putref() uses atomics for the refcount, and the games to lock

working are no longer useful.

The IPC locking is a mess, and sem_unlock() unlocks not only the
semaphore spinlock, it also drops the rcu read lock. Unlike sem_lock(),
which just gets the spin-lock, and expects the caller to get the rcu
read lock.
This all makes things very hard to follow, and it's very confusing when
you take the rcu read lock in one function, and then release it in
another. And it has caused actual bugs: the sem_obtain_lock() function
ended up dropping the RCU read lock twice in one error path, because it
first did the sem_unlock(), and then did a rcu_read_unlock() to match
the rcu_read_lock() it had done.
This is just a totally mindless "remove rcu_read_unlock() from
sem_unlock() and add it immediately after each caller" (except for the
aforementioned bug where we did too many rcu_read_unlock(), and in
find_alloc_undo() where we just got the rcu_read_lock() to correct for
the fact that sem_unlock would immediately drop it again).
We can (and should) clean things up further, but this fixes the bug with
the minimal amount of subtlety.

We can step on WARN_ON_ONCE() in sem_getref() if a semaphore is removed
just as we are about to call sem_getref() from semctl_main(); results
are not pretty.
We should fail with -EIDRM, same as if IPC_RM happened while we'd been
doing allocation there. This also expands sem_getref() at its only
callsite (and fixed there), while sem_getref_and_unlock() is simply
killed off - it has no callers at all.

Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
multiple semaphores.
If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.
If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:
