userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c

Patch series "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c",
v3.

These patches merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c and make
functions used only inside mm/userfaultfd.c static.


This patch (of 2):

Historically userfaultfd implementation has been split between
fs/userfaultfd.c and mm/userfaultfd.c.

The mm/ part implemented memory management operations, while the fs/ part
implemented file descriptor handling and called into the mm/ part for the
actual memory management work.

This separation is quite artificial and fs/userfaultfd.c does not seem to
belong to fs/ because it's only a user if vfs APIs and like for other
users, for example, memfd and secretmem, the file descriptor handling
could live in mm/ as well.

"Append" fs/userfaultfd.c to mm/userfaultfd and update fs/Makefile and
MAINTAINERS accordingly.

No intended functional changes.

Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.nullfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
"Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.

Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).

Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:

chdir(new_root);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);

without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
to MS_MOVE only when that fails.

This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
revealed by unmounting the covering mount.

nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
other directories to hide their contents without any additional
protection needed.

We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
hide it behind a boot option.

nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
which is work coming up in the next cycle"

fs: report filesystem and file I/O errors to fsnotify

Create some wrapper code around struct super_block so that filesystems
have a standard way to queue filesystem metadata and file I/O error
reports to have them sent to fsnotify.

If a filesystem wants to provide an error number, it must supply only
negative error numbers. These are stored internally as negative
numbers, but they are converted to positive error numbers before being
passed to fanotify, per the fanotify(7) manpage. Implementations of
super_operations::report_error are passed the raw internal event data.

Note that we have to play some shenanigans with mempools and queue_work
so that the error handling doesn't happen outside of process context,
and the event handler functions (both ->report_error and fsnotify) can
handle file I/O error messages without having to worry about whatever
locks might be held. This asynchronicity requires that unmount wait for
pending events to clear.

Add a new callback to the superblock operations structure so that
filesystem drivers can themselves respond to file I/O errors if they so
desire. This will be used for an upcoming self-healing patchset for
XFS.

fs: add immutable rootfs

Currently pivot_root() doesn't work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to do a recursive removal of the
initramfs contents manually before continuing the boot.

Really all we want from the real rootfs is to serve as the parent mount
for anything that is actually useful such as the tmpfs or ramfs for
initramfs unpacking or the rootfs itself. There's no need for the real
rootfs to actually be anything meaningful or useful. Add a immutable
rootfs called "nullfs" that can be selected via the "nullfs_rootfs"
kernel command line option.

The kernel will mount a tmpfs/ramfs on top of it, unpack the initramfs
and fire up userspace which mounts the rootfs and can then just do:

chdir(rootfs);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);

and be done with it. (Ofc, userspace can also choose to retain the
initramfs contents by using something like pivot_root(".", "/initramfs")
without unmounting it.)

Technically this also means that the rootfs mount in unprivileged
namespaces doesn't need to become MNT_LOCKED anymore as it's guaranteed
that the immutable rootfs remains permanently empty so there cannot be
anything revealed by unmounting the covering mount.

In the future this will also allow us to create completely empty mount
namespaces without risking to leak anything.

systemd already handles this all correctly as it tries to pivot_root()
first and falls back to MS_MOVE only when that fails.

This goes back to various discussion in previous years and a LPC 2024
presentation about this very topic.

bpf: introduce new VFS based BPF kfuncs

Add a new variant of bpf_d_path() named bpf_path_d_path() which takes
the form of a BPF kfunc and enforces KF_TRUSTED_ARGS semantics onto
its arguments.

This new d_path() based BPF kfunc variant is intended to address the
legacy bpf_d_path() BPF helper's susceptability to memory corruption
issues [0, 1, 2] by ensuring to only operate on supplied arguments
which are deemed trusted by the BPF verifier. Typically, this means
that only pointers to a struct path which have been referenced counted
may be supplied.

In addition to the new bpf_path_d_path() BPF kfunc, we also add a
KF_ACQUIRE based BPF kfunc bpf_get_task_exe_file() and KF_RELEASE
counterpart BPF kfunc bpf_put_file(). This is so that the new
bpf_path_d_path() BPF kfunc can be used more flexibily from within the
context of a BPF LSM program. It's rather common to ascertain the
backing executable file for the calling process by performing the
following walk current->mm->exe_file while instrumenting a given
operation from the context of the BPF LSM program. However, walking
current->mm->exe_file directly is never deemed to be OK, and doing so
from both inside and outside of BPF LSM program context should be
considered as a bug. Using bpf_get_task_exe_file() and in turn
bpf_put_file() will allow BPF LSM programs to reliably get and put
references to current->mm->exe_file.

As of now, all the newly introduced BPF kfuncs within this patch are
limited to BPF LSM program types. These can be either sleepable or
non-sleepable variants of BPF LSM program types.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:

- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.

This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.

In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.

A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:

(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.

For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.

For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.

(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.

Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.

The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.

Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():

- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.

- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.

- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.

The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.

For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.

- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.

Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.

Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.

The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.

We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.

The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().

The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.

- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.

- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.

- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.

The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios

The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.

Summary:

- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.

- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.

- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.

- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.

- Support for write-streaming.

- Support for write grouping.

- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.

- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.

- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.

- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpers

In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from
overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c
and header.

Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig
FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select.

For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions
and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c.
We may change that in the future.

fs: add CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD

Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

def_blk_fops always returns -ENODEV, which dosn't match the return value
of a non-existing block device with CONFIG_BLOCK, which is -ENXIO.
Just remove the extra implementation and fall back to the default
no_open_fops that always returns -ENXIO.

um: hostfs: define our own API boundary

Instead of exporting the set of functions provided by
glibc that are needed for hostfs_user.c, just build that
into the kernel image whenever hostfs is built, and then
export _those_ functions cleanly, to be independent of
the libc implementation.
