* This file contains the procedures for the handling of select and poll

*
* 4 February 1994
* COFF/ELF binary emulation. If the process has the STICKY_TIMEOUTS
* flag set in its personality we do *not* modify the given timeout
* parameter to reflect time remaining.
*
* 24 January 2000
* Changed sys_poll()/do_poll() to use PAGE_SIZE chunk-based allocation
* of fds to overcome nfds < 16390 descriptors limit (Tigran Aivazian).

poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep. It's because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions. The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong. This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events. The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and negligible. This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement non-sleeping poll method. While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and select.c checkpatch friendly. * s/type * symbol/type *symbol/ : three places in poll.h * remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c Oleg: spotted missing barrier in poll_schedule_timeout() Davide: spotted missing write barrier in pollwake() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Cc: Ron Minnich <rminnich@sandia.gov> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Brad Boyer <flar@allandria.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked.

poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep. It's because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions. The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong. This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events. The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and negligible. This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement non-sleeping poll method.

[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

[PATCH] enforce RLIMIT_NOFILE in poll() POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors, even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa 2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has been changed at run time with ulimit -n. To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases: 1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024 In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024 fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <= 1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the initial value of max_fdset. 2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened. The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024, and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds. 3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and a DoS risk on low-resource systems. With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more, no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or 1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle 1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they worked fine under 2.4.18.

[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).
