2025-07-14don't bother with path_get()/path_put() in unix_open_file()Al Viro
Once unix_sock ->path is set, we are guaranteed that its ->path will remain unchanged (and pinned) until the socket is closed. OTOH, dentry_open() does not modify the path passed to it. IOW, there's no need to copy unix_sk(sk)->path in unix_open_file() - we can just pass it to dentry_open() and be done with that.

2025-07-08fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlockAl Viro
The combination of spinlock_t lock and seqcount_spinlock_t seq in struct fs_struct is an open-coded seqlock_t (see linux/seqlock_types.h). Combine and switch to equivalent seqlock_t primitives. AFAICS, that does end up with the same sequence of underlying operations in all cases. While we are at it, get_fs_pwd() is open-coded verbatim in get_path_from_fd(); rather than applying conversion to it, replace with the call of get_fs_pwd() there. Not worth splitting the commit for that, IMO... A bit of historical background - conversion of seqlock_t to use of seqcount_spinlock_t happened several months after the same had been done to struct fs_struct; switching fs_struct to seqlock_t could've been done immediately after that, but it looks like nobody had gotten around to that until now.

2025-07-04af_unix: stash pidfs dentry when neededAlexander Mikhalitsyn
We need to ensure that pidfs dentry is allocated when we meet any struct pid for the first time. This will allows us to open pidfd even after the task it corresponds to is reaped. Basically, we need to identify all places where we fill skb/scm_cookie with struct pid reference for the first time and call pidfs_register_pid(). Tricky thing here is that we have a few places where this happends depending on what userspace is doing: - [__scm_replace_pid()] explicitly sending an SCM_CREDENTIALS message and specified pid in a numeric format - [unix_maybe_add_creds()] enabled SO_PASSCRED/SO_PASSPIDFD but didn't send SCM_CREDENTIALS explicitly - [scm_send()] force_creds is true.

2025-06-24Merge patch series "fhandle, pidfs: allow open_by_handle_at() purely based ↵Christian Brauner
on file handle" Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: Various filesystems such as pidfs and drm support opening file handles without having to require a file descriptor to identify the filesystem. The filesystem are global single instances and can be trivially identified solely on the information encoded in the file handle. This makes it possible to not have to keep or acquire a sentinal file descriptor just to pass it to open_by_handle_at() to identify the filesystem. That's especially useful when such sentinel file descriptor cannot or should not be acquired. For pidfs this means a file handle can function as full replacement for storing a pid in a file. Instead a file handle can be stored and reopened purely based on the file handle. Such autonomous file handles can be opened with or without specifying a a file descriptor. If no proper file descriptor is used the FD_PIDFS_ROOT sentinel must be passed. This allows us to define further special negative fd sentinels in the future. Userspace can trivially test for support by trying to open the file handle with an invalid file descriptor. * patches from https://lore.kernel.org/20250624-work-pidfs-fhandle-v2-0-d02a04858fe3@kernel.org: selftests/pidfd: decode pidfd file handles withou having to specify an fd fhandle, pidfs: support open_by_handle_at() purely based on file handle uapi/fcntl: add FD_PIDFS_ROOT uapi/fcntl: add FD_INVALID uapi/fcntl: mark range as reserved fhandle: reflow get_path_anchor() pidfs: add pidfs_root_path() helper fhandle: rename to get_path_anchor() fhandle: hoist copy_from_user() above get_path_from_fd() fhandle: raise FILEID_IS_DIR in handle_type Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250624-work-pidfs-fhandle-v2-0-d02a04858fe3@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

2025-06-24fhandle, pidfs: support open_by_handle_at() purely based on file handleChristian Brauner
Various filesystems such as pidfs (and likely drm in the future) have a use-case to support opening files purely based on the handle without having to require a file descriptor to another object. That's especially the case for filesystems that don't do any lookup whatsoever and there's zero relationship between the objects. Such filesystems are also singletons that stay around for the lifetime of the system meaning that they can be uniquely identified and accessed purely based on the file handle type. Enable that so that userspace doesn't have to allocate an object needlessly especially if they can't do that for whatever reason.

2025-06-23Merge patch series "pidfs: persistent info & xattrs"Christian Brauner
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid. The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly. This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin information that needs to be available after the task has exited or coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed information. This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them. If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed. So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time. Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their dentry. The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode. That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit information being available. The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but after pidfs_exit(). Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself. The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and coredump information. If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while persisting relevant information. The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage. Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of struct pid itself. Now that we have a way to persist information for pidfs dentries we can start supporting extended attributes on pidfds. This will allow userspace to attach meta information to tasks. One natural extension would be to introduce a custom pidfs.* extended attribute space and allow for the inheritance of extended attributes across fork() and exec(). The first simple scheme will allow privileged userspace to set trusted extended attributes on pidfs inodes. * patches from https://lore.kernel.org/20250618-work-pidfs-persistent-v2-0-98f3456fd552@kernel.org: pidfs: add some CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS asserts selftests/pidfd: test setattr support selftests/pidfd: test extended attribute support selftests/pidfd: test extended attribute support pidfs: support xattrs on pidfds pidfs: make inodes mutable libfs: prepare to allow for non-immutable pidfd inodes pidfs: remove pidfs_pid_valid() pidfs: remove pidfs_{get,put}_pid() pidfs: remove custom inode allocation pidfs: remove unused members from struct pidfs_inode pidfs: persist information pidfs: move to anonymous struct libfs: massage path_from_stashed() libfs: massage path_from_stashed() to allow custom stashing behavior pidfs: raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250618-work-pidfs-persistent-v2-0-98f3456fd552@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

2025-06-19pidfs: persist informationChristian Brauner
Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid. The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly. This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin information that needs to be available after the task has exited or coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed information. This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them. If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed. So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time. Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their dentry. The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode. That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit information being available. The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but after pidfs_exit(). Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself. The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and coredump information. If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while persisting relevant information. The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage. Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of struct pid itself.

2025-06-08tools/power turbostat: Avoid probing the same perf countersZhang Rui
For the RAPL package energy status counter, Intel and AMD share the same perf_subsys and perf_name, but with different MSR addresses. Both rapl_counter_arch_infos[0] and rapl_counter_arch_infos[1] are introduced to describe this counter for different Vendors. As a result, the perf counter is probed twice, and causes a failure in in get_rapl_counters() because expected_read_size and actual_read_size don't match. Fix the problem by skipping the already probed counter. Note, this is not a perfect fix. For example, if different vendors/platforms use the same MSR value for different purpose, the code can be fooled when it probes a rapl_counter_arch_infos[] entry that does not belong to the running Vendor/Platform. In a long run, better to put rapl_counter_arch_infos[] into the platform_features so that this becomes Vendor/Platform specific.
