2025-06-23fs: annotate suspected data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and pollwake()Dmitry Antipov1-2/+2
When running almost any select()/poll() workload intense enough, KCSAN is likely to report data races around using 'triggered' flag of 'struct poll_wqueues'. For example, running 'find /' on a tty console may trigger the following: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in poll_schedule_timeout / pollwake write to 0xffffc900030cfb90 of 4 bytes by task 97 on cpu 5: pollwake+0xd1/0x130 __wake_up_common_lock+0x7f/0xd0 n_tty_receive_buf_common+0x776/0xc30 n_tty_receive_buf2+0x3d/0x60 tty_ldisc_receive_buf+0x6b/0x100 tty_port_default_receive_buf+0x63/0xa0 flush_to_ldisc+0x169/0x3c0 process_scheduled_works+0x6fe/0xf40 worker_thread+0x53b/0x7b0 kthread+0x4f8/0x590 ret_from_fork+0x28c/0x450 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 read to 0xffffc900030cfb90 of 4 bytes by task 5802 on cpu 4: poll_schedule_timeout+0x96/0x160 do_sys_poll+0x966/0xb30 __se_sys_ppoll+0x1c3/0x210 __x64_sys_ppoll+0x71/0x90 x64_sys_call+0x3079/0x32b0 do_syscall_64+0xfa/0x3b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f According to Jan, "there's no practical issue here because it is hard to imagine how the compiler could compile the above code using some intermediate values stored into 'triggered' or multiple fetches from 'triggered'".

Adding an unlikely() hint on the n < 0 comparison return path improves run-time performance of the select() system call, the negative value of n is very uncommon in normal select usage. Benchmarking on an Debian based Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285K with a 6.15-rc1 kernel built with 14.2.0 using a select of 1000 file descriptors with zero timeout shows a consistent call reduction from 258 ns down to 254 ns, which is a ~1.5% performance improvement. Results based on running 25 tests with turbo disabled (to reduce clock freq turbo changes), with 30 second run per test and comparing the number of select() calls per second.

2024-09-22Merge branch 'address-masking'Linus Torvalds1-1/+3
Merge user access fast validation using address masking. This allows architectures to optionally use a data dependent address masking model instead of a conditional branch for validating user accesses. That avoids the Spectre-v1 speculation barriers. Right now only x86-64 takes advantage of this, and not all architectures will be able to do it. It requires a guard region between the user and kernel address spaces (so that you can't overflow from one to the other), and an easy way to generate a guaranteed-to-fault address for invalid user pointers. Also note that this currently assumes that there is no difference between user read and write accesses. If extended to architectures like powerpc, we'll also need to separate out the user read-vs-write cases. * address-masking: x86: make the masked_user_access_begin() macro use its argument only once x86: do the user address masking outside the user access area x86: support user address masking instead of non-speculative conditional

2024-08-23hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasksFelix Moessbauer1-7/+4
The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be delayed. This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks, the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values. This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored, as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK": Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)). The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users is removed as well.

2024-08-19x86: support user address masking instead of non-speculative conditionalLinus Torvalds1-1/+3
The Spectre-v1 mitigations made "access_ok()" much more expensive, since it has to serialize execution with the test for a valid user address. All the normal user copy routines avoid this by just masking the user address with a data-dependent mask instead, but the fast "unsafe_user_read()" kind of patterms that were supposed to be a fast case got slowed down. This introduces a notion of using src = masked_user_access_begin(src); to do the user address sanity using a data-dependent mask instead of the more traditional conditional if (user_read_access_begin(src, len)) { model. This model only works for dense accesses that start at 'src' and on architectures that have a guard region that is guaranteed to fault in between the user space and the kernel space area. With this, the user access doesn't need to be manually checked, because a bad address is guaranteed to fault (by some architecture masking trick: on x86-64 this involves just turning an invalid user address into all ones, since we don't map the top of address space). This only converts a couple of examples for now. Example x86-64 code generation for loading two words from user space: stac mov %rax,%rcx sar $0x3f,%rcx or %rax,%rcx mov (%rcx),%r13 mov 0x8(%rcx),%r14 clac where all the error handling and -EFAULT is now purely handled out of line by the exception path. Of course, if the micro-architecture does badly at 'clac' and 'stac', the above is still pitifully slow. But at least we did as well as we could.

2024-08-12introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.Al Viro1-4/+4
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers. Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h, 1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in explicit initializers). Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that. This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned into a separate helper (fd_empty()). NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

2024-02-20fs/select: rework stack allocation hack for clangArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
A while ago, we changed the way that select() and poll() preallocate a temporary buffer just under the size of the static warning limit of 1024 bytes, as clang was frequently going slightly above that limit. The warnings have recently returned and I took another look. As it turns out, clang is not actually inherently worse at reserving stack space, it just happens to inline do_select() into core_sys_select(), while gcc never inlines it. Annotate do_select() to never be inlined and in turn remove the special case for the allocation size. This should give the same behavior for both clang and gcc all the time and once more avoids those warnings.

The mix of int, unsigned int, and unsigned long used by struct poll_list::len, todo, len, and j meant that the signed overflow sanitizer got worried it needed to instrument several places where arithmetic happens between these variables. Since all of the variables are always positive and bounded by unsigned int, use a single type in all places. Additionally expand the zero-test into an explicit range check before updating "todo".

2022-01-11select: Fix indefinitely sleeping task in poll_schedule_timeout()Jan Kara1-30/+33
A task can end up indefinitely sleeping in do_select() -> poll_schedule_timeout() when the following race happens: TASK1 (thread1) TASK2 TASK1 (thread2) do_select() setup poll_wqueues table with 'fd' write data to 'fd' pollwake() table->triggered = 1 closes 'fd' thread1 is waiting for poll_schedule_timeout() - sees table->triggered table->triggered = 0 return -EINTR loop back in do_select() But at this point when TASK1 loops back, the fdget() in the setup of poll_wqueues fails. So now so we never find 'fd' is ready for reading and sleep in poll_schedule_timeout() indefinitely. Treat an fd that got closed as a fd on which some event happened. This makes sure cannot block indefinitely in do_select(). Another option would be to return -EBADF in this case but that has a potential of subtly breaking applications that excercise this behavior and it happens to work for them. So returning fd as active seems like a safer choice.

2021-01-08poll: fix performance regression due to out-of-line __put_user()Linus Torvalds1-3/+11
The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the "poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cfc222 ("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call"). I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any more. But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a __put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array. Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the 'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_ pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines earlier to get the original values. But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the pollfd array. So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents" model. To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()" instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()" guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.

For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); instance = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); Also, notice that variable size is unnecessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190604164226.GA13823@embeddedor Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

2019-07-16select: shift restore_saved_sigmask_unless() into poll_select_copy_remaining()Oleg Nesterov1-33/+13
Now that restore_saved_sigmask_unless() is always called with the same argument right before poll_select_copy_remaining() we can move it into poll_select_copy_remaining() and make it the only caller of restore() in fs/select.c. The patch also renames poll_select_copy_remaining(), poll_select_finish() looks better after this change. kern_select() doesn't use set_user_sigmask(), so in this case poll_select_finish() does restore_saved_sigmask_unless() "for no reason". But this won't hurt, and WARN_ON(!TIF_SIGPENDING) is still valid.

2019-07-16select: change do_poll() to return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than -EINTROleg Nesterov1-23/+7
do_poll() returns -EINTR if interrupted and after that all its callers have to translate it into -ERESTARTNOHAND. Change do_poll() to return -ERESTARTNOHAND and update (simplify) the callers.

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

2019-06-29signal: remove the wrong signal_pending() check in restore_user_sigmask()Oleg Nesterov1-12/+6
This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later. Commit 854a6ed56839 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns success or timeout. Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted" argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and update the callers. Eric said: : For clarity. I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to : remove the races in select. It is what linux has always done and we have : applications who care so I agree this fix is needed. : : Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back : (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to : complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using : signalfd. : : Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux : implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.

2019-02-07y2038: syscalls: rename y2038 compat syscallsArnd Bergmann1-2/+2
A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit architectures as well. The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx() to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them on 32-bit architectures. Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the future. In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

2019-01-03Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds1-7/+4
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-27y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32Arnd Bergmann1-10/+10
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls: Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise), and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility. The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h: old new --- --- compat_time_t old_time32_t struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32 struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32 struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32 ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32() get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32() put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32() compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32() compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32() As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular, not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version of the respective interfaces. I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we will need a replacement at all. This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

2018-06-28Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLLLinus Torvalds1-23/+0
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

2018-06-12treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()Kees Cook1-1/+1
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc().

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-08-28fs/select: Fix memory corruption in compat_get_fd_set()Helge Deller1-5/+1
Commit 464d62421cb8 ("select: switch compat_{get,put}_fd_set() to compat_{get,put}_bitmap()") changed the calculation on how many bytes need to be zeroed when userspace handed over a NULL pointer for a fdset array in the select syscall. The calculation was changed in compat_get_fd_set() wrongly from memset(fdset, 0, ((nr + 1) & ~1)*sizeof(compat_ulong_t)); to memset(fdset, 0, ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG)); The ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) calculates the number of _bits_ which need to be zeroed in the target fdset array (rounded up to the next full bits for an unsigned long). But the memset() call expects the number of _bytes_ to be zeroed. This leads to clearing more memory than wanted (on the stack area or even at kmalloc()ed memory areas) and to random kernel crashes as we have seen them on the parisc platform. The correct change should have been memset(fdset, 0, (ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) / BITS_PER_LONG) * BYTES_PER_LONG); which is the same as can be archieved with a call to zero_fd_set(nr, fdset).

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2017-05-08treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variantsMichal Hocko1-4/+1
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

2016-10-11fs/select: add vmalloc fallback for select(2)Vlastimil Babka1-3/+11
The select(2) syscall performs a kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) where size grows with the number of fds passed. We had a customer report page allocation failures of order-4 for this allocation. This is a costly order, so it might easily fail, as the VM expects such allocation to have a lower-order fallback. Such trivial fallback is vmalloc(), as the memory doesn't have to be physically contiguous and the allocation is temporary for the duration of the syscall only. There were some concerns, whether this would have negative impact on the system by exposing vmalloc() to userspace. Although an excessive use of vmalloc can cause some system wide performance issues - TLB flushes etc. - a large order allocation is not for free either and an excessive reclaim/compaction can have a similar effect. Also note that the size is effectively limited by RLIMIT_NOFILE which defaults to 1024 on the systems I checked. That means the bitmaps will fit well within single page and thus the vmalloc() fallback could be only excercised for processes where root allows a higher limit. Note that the poll(2) syscall seems to use a linked list of order-0 pages, so it doesn't need this kind of fallback.

2016-05-19fs: poll/select/recvmmsg: use timespec64 for timeout eventsDeepa Dinamani1-30/+37
struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Even though timespec might be sufficient to represent timeouts, use struct timespec64 here as the plan is to get rid of all timespec reference in the kernel. The patch transitions the common functions: poll_select_set_timeout() and select_estimate_accuracy() to use timespec64. And, all the syscalls that use these functions are transitioned in the same patch. The restart block parameters for poll uses monotonic time. Use timespec64 here as well to assign timeout value. This parameter in the restart block need not change because this only holds the monotonic timestamp at which timeout should occur. And, unsigned long data type should be big enough for this timestamp. The system call interfaces will be handled in a separate series. Compat interfaces need not change as timespec64 is an alias to struct timespec on a 64 bit system.

2016-03-17timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64John Stultz1-4/+4
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.

2015-02-12all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_structAndy Lutomirski1-1/+1
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

2013-10-30Revert "select: use freezable blocking call"Rafael J. Wysocki1-2/+1
This reverts commit 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call) that triggers problems during resume from suspend to RAM on Paul Bolle's 32-bit x86 machines. Paul says: Ever since I tried running (release candidates of) v3.11 on the two working i686s I still have lying around I ran into issues on resuming from suspend. Reverting 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call) resolves those issues. Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and later triggers issues like: traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000] and traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000] Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the system is at that point by power cycling it. Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well.

2012-07-26posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitionsJosh Boyer1-5/+5
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

2012-03-23poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functionsHans Verkuil1-22/+18
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

2012-02-21sys_poll: fix incorrect type for 'timeout' parameterLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not 'long'. Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls 'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long' value. We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64 glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_, even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been from the very start. If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc 64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

2012-02-19Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longsDavid Howells1-1/+1
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example if *tv == {2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays as small as {429, 500000000} if the task is niced). Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect of the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer range feature was not optimal in overflow cases.

The triggered field of struct poll_wqueues introduced in commit 5f820f648c92a5ecc771a96b3c29aa6e90013bba ("poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep"). It was first set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before. As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not be called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done.

2009-06-16poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/pollEric Dumazet1-4/+36
After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too. For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread. When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large, this cause significant load. This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50% on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

2009-01-13Fix timeouts in sys_pselect7Bernd Schmidt1-1/+1
Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet. telnetd calls select with a NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5). This did not happen with earlier kernels. The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable "to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to core_sys_select instead of &end_time. This bug was introduced by 8ff3e8e85fa6c312051134b3953e397feb639f51 ("select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers").

2009-01-06poll: allow f_op->poll to sleepTejun Heo1-14/+62
f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep. It's because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions. The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong. This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events. The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and negligible. This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement non-sleeping poll method. While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and select.c checkpatch friendly. * s/type * symbol/type *symbol/ : three places in poll.h * remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c Oleg: spotted missing barrier in poll_schedule_timeout() Davide: spotted missing write barrier in pollwake() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Cc: Ron Minnich <rminnich@sandia.gov> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Brad Boyer <flar@allandria.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just fine, so the new kernels must too. However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version (due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return. This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds field. Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs in the diagnostics patches.

Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle. This is caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating a pending signal for what in effect is an ignored signal. In general poll is a little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother userspace and simply restart the syscall. Both select and ppoll do use ERESTARTNOHAND to restart the syscall. Oleg points out that simply using ERESTARTNOHAND will cause poll to restart with original timeout value. which could ultimately lead to process never returning to userspace. Instead use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout value. Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.

2006-12-10[PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in sizeVadim Lobanov1-5/+5
Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset). In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all. Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting code becomes simpler.

2006-09-29[PATCH] enforce RLIMIT_NOFILE in poll()Chris Snook1-7/+1
POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors, even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa 2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has been changed at run time with ulimit -n. To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases: 1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024 In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024 fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <= 1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the initial value of max_fdset. 2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened. The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024, and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds. 3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and a DoS risk on low-resource systems. With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more, no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or 1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle 1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they worked fine under 2.4.18.

The "count" and "pt" variables are declared and modified by do_poll(), as well as accessed and written indirectly in the do_pollfd() subroutine. This patch pulls all handling of these variables into the do_poll() function, thereby eliminating the odd use of indirection in do_pollfd(). This is done by pulling the "struct pollfd" traversal loop from do_pollfd() into its only caller do_poll(). As an added bonus, the patch saves a few clock cycles, and also adds comments to make the code easier to follow.

If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[] would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?

2006-03-28[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stackAndi Kleen1-42/+64
Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

2006-02-11[PATCH] select: fix returned timevalAndrew Morton1-9/+23
With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's `timeout' argument on return. We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_ round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks us to. The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which was passed in. The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return the new timeout value. (We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in time.h. But this code open-codes it all). Cc: "David S.

2006-01-18[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementationDavid Woodhouse1-57/+291
The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.
