Extend the PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP ioctl() with the new PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP
mask flag. This adds the @coredump_mask field to struct pidfd_info.
When a task coredumps the kernel will provide the following information
to userspace in @coredump_mask:
* PIDFD_COREDUMPED is raised if the task did actually coredump.
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_SKIP is raised if the task skipped coredumping (e.g.,
undumpable).
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_USER is raised if this is a regular coredump and
doesn't need special care by the coredump server.
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_ROOT is raised if the generated coredump should be
treated as sensitive and the coredump server should restrict to the
generated coredump to sufficiently privileged users.
The kernel guarantees that by the time the connection is made the all
PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP info is available.

Coredumping currently supports two modes:
(1) Dumping directly into a file somewhere on the filesystem.
(2) Dumping into a pipe connected to a usermode helper process
spawned as a child of the system_unbound_wq or kthreadd.
For simplicity I'm mostly ignoring (1). There's probably still some
users of (1) out there but processing coredumps in this way can be
considered adventurous especially in the face of set*id binaries.
The most common option should be (2) by now. It works by allowing
userspace to put a string into /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern like:
|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h
The "|" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that a pipe must be
used. The path following the pipe indicator is a path to a binary that
will be spawned as a usermode helper process. Any additional parameters
pass information about the task that is generating the coredump to the
binary that processes the coredump.
In the example core_pattern shown above systemd-coredump is spawned as a
usermode helper. There's various conceptual consequences of this
(non-exhaustive list):
- systemd-coredump is spawned with file descriptor number 0 (stdin)
connected to the read-end of the pipe. All other file descriptors are
closed. That specifically includes 1 (stdout) and 2 (stderr). This has
already caused bugs because userspace assumed that this cannot happen
(Whether or not this is a sane assumption is irrelevant.).
- systemd-coredump will be spawned as a child of system_unbound_wq. So
it is not a child of any userspace process and specifically not a
child of PID 1. It cannot be waited upon and is in a weird hybrid
upcall which are difficult for userspace to control correctly.
- systemd-coredump is spawned with full kernel privileges. This
necessitates all kinds of weird privilege dropping excercises in
userspace to make this safe.
- A new usermode helper has to be spawned for each crashing process.
This series adds a new mode:
(3) Dumping into an AF_UNIX socket.
Userspace can set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to:
@/path/to/coredump.socket
The "@" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that an AF_UNIX
coredump socket will be used to process coredumps.
The coredump socket must be located in the initial mount namespace.
When a task coredumps it opens a client socket in the initial network
namespace and connects to the coredump socket.
- The coredump server uses SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the
connected crashing task. The retrieved pidfd will provide a stable
reference even if the crashing task gets SIGKILLed while generating
the coredump.
- By setting core_pipe_limit non-zero userspace can guarantee that the
crashing task cannot be reaped behind it's back and thus process all
necessary information in /proc/<pid>. The SO_PEERPIDFD can be used to
detect whether /proc/<pid> still refers to the same process.
The core_pipe_limit isn't used to rate-limit connections to the
socket. This can simply be done via AF_UNIX sockets directly.
- The pidfd for the crashing task will grow new information how the task
coredumps.
- The coredump server should mark itself as non-dumpable.
- A container coredump server in a separate network namespace can simply
bind to another well-know address and systemd-coredump fowards
coredumps to the container.
- Coredumps could in the future also be handled via per-user/session
coredump servers that run only with that users privileges.
The coredump server listens on the coredump socket and accepts a
new coredump connection. It then retrieves SO_PEERPIDFD for the
client, inspects uid/gid and hands the accepted client to the users
own coredump handler which runs with the users privileges only
(It must of coure pay close attention to not forward crashing suid
binaries.).
The new coredump socket will allow userspace to not have to rely on
usermode helpers for processing coredumps and provides a safer way to
handle them instead of relying on super privileged coredumping helpers
that have and continue to cause significant CVEs.
This will also be significantly more lightweight since no fork()+exec()
for the usermodehelper is required for each crashing process. The
coredump server in userspace can e.g., just keep a worker pool.

Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for the
crashing process into the process started as a usermode helper. There's
still tricky race-windows that cannot be easily or sometimes not closed
at all by userspace. There's various ways like looking at the start time
of a process to make sure that the usermode helper process is started
after the crashing process but it's all very very brittle and fraught
with peril.
The crashed-but-not-reaped process can be killed by userspace before
coredump processing programs like systemd-coredump have had time to
manually open a PIDFD from the PID the kernel provides them, which means
they can be tricked into reading from an arbitrary process, and they run
with full privileges as they are usermode helper processes.
Even if that specific race-window wouldn't exist it's still the safest
and cleanest way to let the kernel provide the pidfd directly instead of
requiring userspace to do it manually. In parallel with this commit we
already have systemd adding support for this in [1].
When the usermode helper process is forked we install a pidfd file
descriptor three into the usermode helper's file descriptor table so
it's available to the exec'd program.
Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is empty
and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number.
Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even if a
subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage hasn't
been removed yet and even if this @current isn't the actual thread-group
leader we know that the thread-group leader cannot be reaped until
@current has exited.

To hand out pidfds for reaped processes we thus allocate a pidfs entry
for the relevant sk->sk_peer_pid at the time the sk->sk_peer_pid is
stashed and drop it when the socket is destroyed. This guarantees that
exit information will always be recorded for the sk->sk_peer_pid task

We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked attached
anymore thereby conflating two concepts:
(1) The task has already been reaped.
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the pid
actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a thread-group
leader.
This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in [1].
This patch tries to allow userspace to distinguish between (1) and (2).
This is racy of course but that shouldn't matter.

Adapt to changes in commit 9133607de3 ("exit: fix the usage of
delay_group_leader->exit_code in do_notify_parent() and pidfs_exit()").
Even if the thread-group leader exited early and succesfully it's exit
status will only be reported once the whole thread-group has exited and
it will share the exit code of the thread-group. So if the thread-group
was SIGKILLed the thread-group leader will also be reported as having
been SIGKILLed.

... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions.
Before commit 6c6c1fc09d ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').
After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.
And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary. As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.
The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself. And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.
So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage. Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

On systems with >= 1024 cpus (in my case 1152), turbostat fails with the error output:
"turbostat: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective: cpu str malformat 0-1151"
A similar error appears with the use of turbostat --cpu when the inputted cpu
range contains a cpu number >= 1024:
# turbostat -c 1100-1151
"--cpu 1100-1151" malformed
...
Both errors are caused by parse_cpu_str() reaching its limit of CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS.
It's a good idea to limit the maximum cpu number being parsed, but 1024 is too low.
For a small increase in compute and allocated memory, increasing CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS
brings support for parsing cpu numbers >= 1024.
Increase CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS to 8192, a common setting for CONFIG_NR_CPUS on x86_64.

because both architectures which enable that code have hierarchical domains
enabled. Though it breaks the ia64 build, which enables the functionality,
but does not have hierarchical domains.
While it's not really a problem for mainline today, this
unconditional dereference is inconsistent and trivially fixable by
using the existing helper function irqd_get_parent_data(), which has
the appropriate #ifdeffery in place.

The recent change to prevent that time goes backwards for the coarse time
getters due to immediate multiplier adjustments via adjtimex(), changed the
way how the timekeeping core treats that.
That change result in a regression on the adjtimex() side, which is user
space visible:
1) The forwarding of the base time moves the update out of the original
period and establishes a new one. That's changing the behaviour of the
[PF]LL control, which user space expects to be applied periodically.
2) The clearing of the accumulated NTP error due to #1, changes the
behaviour as well.
It was tried to delay the multiplier/frequency update to the next tick, but
that did not solve the problem as userspace expects that the multiplier or
frequency updates are in effect, when the syscall returns.
There is a different solution for the coarse time problem available, so

"Weekly fixes, mostly from the end of last week, this week was very
quiet, maybe you scared everyone away. It's mostly amdgpu, and xe,
with some i915, adp and bridge bits, since I think this is overly
quiet I'd expect rc2 to be a bit more lively.

The rpm-pkg make target currently suffers from a few issues related to
debuginfo:
1. debuginfo for things built into the kernel (vmlinux) is not available
in any RPM produced by make rpm-pkg. This makes using tools like
systemtap against a make rpm-pkg kernel impossible.
2. debug source for the kernel is not available. This means that
commands like 'disas /s' in gdb, which display source intermixed with
assembly, can only print file names/line numbers which then must be
painstakingly resolved to actual source in a separate editor.
3. debuginfo for modules is available, but it remains bundled with the
.ko files that contain module code, in the main kernel RPM. This is a
waste of space for users who do not need to debug the kernel (i.e.
most users).
Address all of these issues by additionally building a debuginfo RPM
when the kernel configuration allows for it, in line with standard
patterns followed by RPM distributors. With these changes:
1. systemtap now works (when these changes are backported to 6.11, since
systemtap lags a bit behind in compatibility), as verified by the
following simple test script:
# stap -e 'probe kernel.function("do_sys_open").call { printf("%s\n", $$parms); }'
dfd=0xffffffffffffff9c filename=0x7fe18800b160 flags=0x88800 mode=0x0
...
2. disas /s works correctly in gdb, with source and disassembly
interspersed:
# gdb vmlinux --batch -ex 'disas /s blk_op_str'
Dump of assembler code for function blk_op_str:
block/blk-core.c:
125 {
0xffffffff814c8740 <+0>: endbr64

End of assembler dump.
3. The size of the main kernel package goes down substantially,
especially if many modules are built (quite typical). Here is a
comparison of installed size of the kernel package (configured with
allmodconfig, dwarf4 debuginfo, and module compression turned off)
before and after this patch:
# rpm -qi kernel-6.13* | grep -E '^(Version|Size)'
Version : 6.13.0postpatch+
Size : 1382874089
Version : 6.13.0prepatch+
Size : 17870795887
This is a ~92% size reduction.
Note that a debuginfo package can only be produced if the following
configs are set:
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
- CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS=n
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=n
The first of these is obvious - we can't produce debuginfo if the build
does not generate it. The second two requirements can in principle be
removed, but doing so is difficult with the current approach, which uses
a generic rpmbuild script find-debuginfo.sh that processes all packaged
executables. If we want to remove those requirements the best path
forward is likely to add some debuginfo extraction/installation logic to
the modules_install target (controllable by flags). That way, it's
easier to operate on modules before they're compressed, and the logic
can be reused by all packaging targets.
