__wake_up_locked_key"
This reverts commit 51360155eccb907ff8635bd10fc7de876408c2e0 and adapts
fs/userfaultfd.c to use the old version of that function.
It didn't look robust to call __wake_up_common with "nr == 1" when we
absolutely require wakeall semantics, but we've full control of what we
insert in the two waitqueue heads of the blocked userfaults. No
exclusive waitqueue risks to be inserted into those two waitqueue heads
so we can as well stick to "nr == 1" of the old code and we can rely
purely on the fact no waitqueue inserted in one of the two waitqueue
heads we must enforce as wakeall, has wait->flags WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE set.

During the refile in userfaultfd_read both waitqueues could look empty to
the lockless wake_userfault(). Use a seqcount to prevent this false
negative that could leave an userfault blocked.

This is only simple to achieve if the userfault is going to return to
userland (not to the kernel) because we can avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY
despite we temporarily released the mmap_sem. The fault would just be
retried by userland then. This is safe at least on x86 and powerpc (the
two archs with the syscall implemented so far).
Hint to verify for which archs this is safe: after handle_mm_fault
returns, no access to data structures protected by the mmap_sem must be
done by the fault code in arch/*/mm/fault.c until up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
is called.
This has two main benefits: signals can run with lower latency in
production (signals aren't blocked by userfaults and userfaults are
immediately repeated after signal processing) and gdb can then trivially
debug the threads blocked in this kind of userfaults coming directly from
userland.
On a side note: while gdb has a need to get signal processed, coredumps
always worked perfectly with userfaults, no matter if the userfault is
triggered by GUP a kernel copy_user or directly from userland.

UFFDIO_API was already forced before read/poll could work. This makes the
code more strict to force it also for all other ioctls.
All users would already have been required to call UFFDIO_API before
invoking other ioctls but this makes it more explicit.
This will ensure we can change all ioctls (all but UFFDIO_API/struct
uffdio_api) with a bump of uffdio_api.api.
There's no actual plan or need to change the API or the ioctl, the current
API already should cover fine even the non cooperative usage, but this is
just for the longer term future just in case.

These two ioctl allows to either atomically copy or to map zeropages
into the virtual address space. This is used by the thread that opened
the userfaultfd to resolve the userfaults.

Solve in-kernel the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and
userfaultfd_read if they are run on different threads simultaneously.
Until now qemu solved the race in userland: the race was explicitly
and intentionally left for userland to solve. However we can also
solve it in kernel.
Requiring all users to solve this race if they use two threads (one
for the background transfer and one for the userfault reads) isn't
very attractive from an API prospective, furthermore this allows to
remove a whole bunch of mutex and bitmap code from qemu, making it
faster. The cost of __get_user_pages_fast should be insignificant
considering it scales perfectly and the pagetables are already hot in
the CPU cache, compared to the overhead in userland to maintain those
structures.
Applying this patch is backwards compatible with respect to the
userfaultfd userland API, however reverting this change wouldn't be
backwards compatible anymore.
Without this patch qemu in the background transfer thread, has to read
the old state, and do UFFDIO_WAKE if old_state is missing but it
become REQUESTED by the time it tries to set it to RECEIVED (signaling
the other side received an userfault).
vcpu background_thr userfault_thr
----- ----- -----
vcpu0 handle_mm_fault()
postcopy_place_page
read old_state -> MISSING
UFFDIO_COPY 0x7fb76a139000 (no wakeup, still pending)
vcpu0 fault at 0x7fb76a139000 enters handle_userfault
poll() is kicked
poll() -> POLLIN
read() -> 0x7fb76a139000
postcopy_pmi_change_state(MISSING, REQUESTED) -> REQUESTED
tmp_state = postcopy_pmi_change_state(old_state, RECEIVED) -> REQUESTED
/* check that no userfault raced with UFFDIO_COPY */
if (old_state == MISSING && tmp_state == REQUESTED)
UFFDIO_WAKE from background thread
And a second case where a UFFDIO_WAKE would be needed is in the userfault thread:
vcpu background_thr userfault_thr
----- ----- -----
vcpu0 handle_mm_fault()
postcopy_place_page
read old_state -> MISSING
UFFDIO_COPY 0x7fb76a139000 (no wakeup, still pending)
tmp_state = postcopy_pmi_change_state(old_state, RECEIVED) -> RECEIVED
vcpu0 fault at 0x7fb76a139000 enters handle_userfault
poll() is kicked
poll() -> POLLIN
read() -> 0x7fb76a139000
if (postcopy_pmi_change_state(MISSING, REQUESTED) == RECEIVED)
UFFDIO_WAKE from userfault thread
This patch removes the need of both UFFDIO_WAKE and of the associated
per-page tristate as well.

This is an optimization but it's a userland visible one and it affects
the API.
The downside of this optimization is that if you call poll() and you
get POLLIN, read(ufd) may still return -EAGAIN. The blocked userfault
may be waken by a different thread, before read(ufd) comes
around. This in short means that poll() isn't really usable if the
userfaultfd is opened in blocking mode.
userfaults won't wait in "pending" state to be read anymore and any
UFFDIO_WAKE or similar operations that has the objective of waking
userfaults after their resolution, will wake all blocked userfaults
for the resolved range, including those that haven't been read() by
userland yet.
The behavior of poll() becomes not standard, but this obviates the
need of "spurious" UFFDIO_WAKE and it lets the userland threads to
restart immediately without requiring an UFFDIO_WAKE. This is even
more significant in case of repeated faults on the same address from
multiple threads.
This optimization is justified by the measurement that the number of
spurious UFFDIO_WAKE accounts for 5% and 10% of the total
userfaults for heavy workloads, so it's worth optimizing those away.

I had requests to return the full address (not the page aligned one) to
userland.
It's not entirely clear how the page offset could be relevant because
userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset. There's
currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
the fault to be repeated). Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
kernel code. The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
that).
Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
extensions too and it looks cleaner as well. Once we get additional
fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.
The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.
The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
uffdio_api structure. If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
required.

This is (seems to be) the minimal thing that is required to unblock
standard uffd usage from the non-cooperative one. Now more bits can be
added to the features field indicating e.g. UFFD_FEATURE_FORK and others
needed for the latter use-case.

Once an userfaultfd has been created and certain region of the process
virtual address space have been registered into it, the thread responsible
for doing the memory externalization can manage the page faults in
userland by talking to the kernel using the userfaultfd protocol.
poll() can be used to know when there are new pending userfaults to be
read (POLLIN).
