eventfd: prevent underflow for eventfd semaphores

For eventfd with flag EFD_SEMAPHORE, when its ctx->count is 0, calling
eventfd_ctx_do_read will cause ctx->count to overflow to ULLONG_MAX.

An underflow can happen with EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfds in at least the
following three subsystems:

(1) virt/kvm/eventfd.c
(2) drivers/vfio/virqfd.c
(3) drivers/virt/acrn/irqfd.c

where (2) and (3) are just modeled after (1). An eventfd must be
specified for use with the KVM_IRQFD ioctl(). This can also be an
EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfd. When the eventfd count is zero or has been
decremented to zero an underflow can be triggered when the irqfd is shut
down by raising the KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN flag in the KVM_IRQFD
ioctl():

// ctx->count == 0
kvm_vm_ioctl()
-> kvm_irqfd()
-> kvm_irqfd_deassign()
-> irqfd_deactivate()
-> irqfd_shutdown()
-> eventfd_ctx_remove_wait_queue(&cnt)
-> eventfd_ctx_do_read(&cnt)

Userspace polling on the eventfd wouldn't notice the underflow because 1
is always returned as the value from eventfd_read() while ctx->count
would've underflowed. It's not a huge deal because this should only be
happening when the irqfd is shutdown but we should still fix it and
avoid the spurious wakeup.

eventfd: use wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq() helper

wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq was introduced by commit 22c43c81a51e
("wait_event_interruptible_locked() interface"), but older code such as
eventfd_{write,read} still uses the open code implementation.
Inspired by commit 8120a8aadb20
("fs/timerfd.c: make use of wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq()"), this
patch replaces the open code implementation with a single macro call.

No functional change intended.

eventfd: provide a eventfd_signal_mask() helper

This is identical to eventfd_signal(), but it allows the caller to pass
in a mask to be used for the poll wakeup key. The use case is avoiding
repeated multishot triggers if we have a dependency between eventfd and
io_uring.

If we setup an eventfd context and register that as the io_uring eventfd,
and at the same time queue a multishot poll request for the eventfd
context, then any CQE posted will repeatedly trigger the multishot request
until it terminates when the CQ ring overflows.

In preparation for io_uring detecting this circular dependency, add the
mentioned helper so that io_uring can pass in EPOLL_URING as part of the
poll wakeup key.

eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bit

The recursion protection for eventfd_signal() is based on a per CPU
variable and relies on the !RT semantics of spin_lock_irqsave() for
protecting this per CPU variable. On RT kernels spin_lock_irqsave() neither
disables preemption nor interrupts which allows the spin lock held section
to be preempted. If the preempting task invokes eventfd_signal() as well,
then the recursion warning triggers.

Paolo suggested to protect the per CPU variable with a local lock, but
that's heavyweight and actually not necessary. The goal of this protection
is to prevent the task stack from overflowing, which can be achieved with a
per task recursion protection as well.

Replace the per CPU variable with a per task bit similar to other recursion
protection bits like task_struct::in_page_owner. This works on both !RT and
RT kernels and removes as a side effect the extra per CPU storage.

No functional change for !RT kernels.

eventfd: convert to f_op->read_iter()

eventfd is using ->read() as it's file_operations read handler, but
this prevents passing in information about whether a given IO operation
is blocking or not. We can only use the file flags for that. To support
async (-EAGAIN/poll based) retries for io_uring, we need ->read_iter()
support. Convert eventfd to using ->read_iter().

With ->read_iter(), we can support IOCB_NOWAIT. Ensure the fd setup
is done such that we set file->f_mode with FMODE_NOWAIT.

eventfd: track eventfd_signal() recursion depth

eventfd use cases from aio and io_uring can deadlock due to circular
or resursive calling, when eventfd_signal() tries to grab the waitqueue
lock. On top of that, it's also possible to construct notification
chains that are deep enough that we could blow the stack.

Add a percpu counter that tracks the percpu recursion depth, warn if we
exceed it. The counter is also exposed so that users of eventfd_signal()
can do the right thing if it's non-zero in the context where it is
called.

eventfd: present id to userspace via fdinfo

Finding endpoints of an IPC channel is one of essential task to
understand how a user program works. Procfs and netlink socket provide
enough hints to find endpoints for IPC channels like pipes, unix
sockets, and pseudo terminals. However, there is no simple way to find
endpoints for an eventfd file from userland. An inode number doesn't
hint. Unlike pipe, all eventfd files share the same inode object.

To provide the way to find endpoints of an eventfd file, this patch adds
"eventfd-id" field to /proc/PID/fdinfo of eventfd as identifier.
Integers managed by an IDA are used as ids.

A tool like lsof can utilize the information to print endpoints.

Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy - Linus ]

eventfd: only return events requested in poll_mask()

The ->poll_mask() operation has a mask of events that the caller
is interested in, but we're returning all events regardless.

Change to return only the events the caller is interested in. This
fixes aio IO_CMD_POLL returning immediately when called with POLLIN
on an eventfd, since an eventfd is almost always ready for a write.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

Rename:

wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
