Patch 1 fixes a KVM+rseq bug where KVM's handling of TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
e.g. for task migration, clears the flag without informing rseq and leads
to stale data in userspace's rseq struct.
Patch 2 is a cleanup to try and make future bugs less likely. It's also
a baby step towards moving and renaming tracehook_notify_resume() since
it has nothing to do with tracing.
Patch 3 is a fix/cleanup to stop overriding x86's unistd_{32,64}.h when
the include path (intentionally) omits tools' uapi headers. KVM's
selftests do exactly that so that they can pick up the uapi headers from
the installed kernel headers, and still use various tools/ headers that
mirror kernel code, e.g. linux/types.h. This allows the new test in
patch 4 to reference __NR_rseq without having to manually define it.
Patch 4 is a regression test for the KVM+rseq bug.
Patch 5 is a cleanup made possible by patch 3.
Based on commit 835d31d319d9 ("Merge tag 'media/v5.15-1' of ...").
v3:
- Collect Ack/Review. [Mathieu, Ben]
- Add explicit smp_wmb() instead of relying on atomic_inc() to do a full
barrier. [Mathieu]
- Add lots and lots of comments in the selftest, especially around why
the migration thread needs a udelay(). [Mathieu]
- Delay between 1us and 10us to reduce the odds of having a hard
dependency on arch/kernel behavior. [Mathieu]
- Dropped an s390 change in patch 2 after a rebase to upstream master.
v2:
- https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210820225002.310652-1-seanjc@google.com
- Don't touch rseq_cs when handling KVM case so that rseq_syscall() will
still detect a naughty userspace. [Mathieu]
- Use a sequence counter + retry in the test to ensure the process isn't
migrated between sched_getcpu() and reading rseq.cpu_id, i.e. to
avoid a flaky test. [Mathieu]
- Add Mathieu's ack for patch 2.
- Add more comments in the test.
