Re: [PATCH 0/3] readfile(2): a new syscall to make open/read/close faster

by Jan Ziak

Hello At first, I thought that the proposed system call is capable of reading *multiple* small files using a single system call - which would help increase HDD/SSD queue utilization and increase IOPS (I/O operations per second) - but that isn't the case and the proposed system call can read just a single file. Without the ability to read multiple small files using a single system call, it is impossible to increase IOPS (unless an application is using multiple reader threads or somehow instructs the kernel to prefetch multiple files into memory). While you are at it, why not also add a readfiles system call to read multiple, presumably small, files? The initial unoptimized implementation of readfiles syscall can simply call readfile sequentially. Sincerely Jan (atomsymbol)

[PATCH v2] selftests/livepatch: adopt to newer sysctl error format

by Petr Mladek

With procfs v3.3.16, the sysctl command doesn't print the set key and value on error. This change breaks livepatch selftest test-ftrace.sh, that tests the interaction of sysctl ftrace_enabled: Make it work with all sysctl versions using '-q' option. Explicitly print the final status on success so that it can be verified in the log. The error message is enough on failure.

[RFC PATCH 00/15] PKS: Add Protection Keys Supervisor (PKS) support

by ira.weiny＠intel.com

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny(a)intel.com> This RFC series has been reviewed by Dave Hansen. This patch set introduces a new page protection mechanism for supervisor pages, Protection Key Supervisor (PKS) and an initial user of them, persistent memory, PMEM. PKS enables protections on 'domains' of supervisor pages to limit supervisor mode access to those pages beyond the normal paging protections. They work in a similar fashion to user space pkeys. Like User page pkeys (PKU), supervisor pkeys are checked in addition to normal paging protections and Access or Writes can be disabled via a MSR update without TLB flushes when permissions change. A page mapping is assigned to a domain by setting a pkey in the page table entry. Unlike User pkeys no new instructions are added; rather WRMSR/RDMSR are used to update the PKRS register. XSAVE is not supported for the PKRS MSR. To reduce software complexity the implementation saves/restores the MSR across context switches but not during irqs. This is a compromise which results is a hardening of unwanted access without absolute restriction. For consistent behavior with current paging protections, pkey 0 is reserved and configured to allow full access via the pkey mechanism, thus preserving the default paging protections on mappings with the default pkey value of 0. Other keys, (1-15) are allocated by an allocator which prepares us for key contention from day one. Kernel users should be prepared for the allocator to fail either because of key exhaustion or due to PKS not being supported on the arch and/or CPU instance. Protecting against stray writes is particularly important for PMEM because, unlike writes to anonymous memory, writes to PMEM persists across a reboot. Thus data corruption could result in permanent loss of data. The following attributes of PKS makes it perfect as a mechanism to protect PMEM from stray access within the kernel: 1) Fast switching of permissions 2) Prevents access without page table manipulations 3) Works on a per thread basis 4) No TLB flushes required The second half of this series thus uses the PKS mechanism to protect PMEM from stray access. Implementation details ---------------------- Modifications of task struct in patches: (x86/pks: Preserve the PKRS MSR on context switch) (memremap: Add zone device access protection) Because pkey access is per-thread 2 modifications are made to the task struct. The first is a saved copy of the MSR during context switches. The second reference counts access to the device domain to correctly handle kmap nesting properly. Maintain PKS setting in a re-entrant manner in patch: (memremap: Add zone device access protection) Using local_irq_save() seems to be the safest and fastest way to maintain kmap as re-entrant. But there may be a better way. spin_lock_irq() and atomic counters were considered. But atomic counters do not properly protect the pkey update and spin_lock_irq() is unnecessary as the pkey protections are thread local. Suggestions are welcome. The use of kmap in patch: (kmap: Add stray write protection for device pages) To keep general access to PMEM pages general, we piggy back on the kmap() interface as there are many places in the kernel who do not have, nor should be required to have, a priori knowledge that a page is PMEM. The modifications to the kmap code is careful to quickly determine which pages don't require special handling to reduce overhead for non PMEM pages.

[PATCH] selftests/harness: Limit step counter reporting

by Kees Cook

When the selftest "step" counter grew beyond 255, non-fatal warnings were being emitted, which is noisy and pointless. There are selftests with more than 255 steps (especially those in loops, etc). Instead, just cap "steps" to 254 and do not report the saturation.

With regards to what should be done in this patchset and what in other patchsets. I have a fix for kexec thanks to Arvind's note about TRAMPOLINE_32BIT_CODE_SIZE. The physical host boots fine now and the virtual one can kexec fine. What remains to be done on that front is to add some identifying information to the kernel image to declare that it supports paravirtualized control register pinning or not. Liran suggested adding a section to the built image acting as a flag to signify support for being kexec'd by a kernel with pinning enabled. If anyone has any opinions on how they'd like to see this implemented please let me know. Otherwise I'll just take a stab at it and you'll all see it hopefully in the next version. With regards to FSGSBASE, are we open to validating and adding that to the DEFAULT set as a part of a separate patchset? This patchset is focused on replicating the functionality we already have natively.
