Hello,
This RFC is a followup to the previous discussion initiated from my last
patch "futex: Implement mechanism to wait on any of several futexes"[1].
As stated in the thread, the correct approach to move forward with the
wait multiple operation would be to create a new syscall that would have
all new cool features.
The first patch adds the new interface and just translate the call for
the old interface, without implementing new features. The goal here is
to establish the interface and to check if everyone is happy with this
API. The rest of patches are selftests to show the interface in action.
I have the following questions:
- What suggestions do you have to implement this? Start from scratch or
reuse the most code possible?
- The interface seems correct and implements the requirements asked by you?
Those are the cool new features that this syscall should address some
day:
- Operate with variable bit size futexes, not restricted to 32:
8, 16 and 64
- Wait on multiple futexes, using the following semantics:
struct futex_wait {
void *uaddr;
unsigned long val;
unsigned long flags;
};
sys_futex_waitv(struct futex_wait *waiters, unsigned int nr_waiters,
unsigned long flags, struct __kernel_timespec *timo);
- Have NUMA optimizations: if FUTEX_NUMA_FLAG is set, the `void *uaddr`
argument won't be a value of type u{8, 16, 32, 64} anymore, but a struct
containing a NUMA node hint:
struct futex32_numa {
u32 value __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
u32 hint;
};
struct futex64_numa {
u64 value __attribute__ ((aligned (16)));
u64 hint;
};
Thanks,
André
Changes since v1:
- The timeout argument now uses __kernel_timespec as type
- time32 interface was removed

2.27.0
Add a new futex interface into the kernel, namely futex2. This first
piece of work just introduces the new interface without new feature for
now, using all mechanisms of the old interface in order to work. This
way we can properly formalize the expectations around the new design,
while being able to expand the code as we need and even in parallel
efforts if possible.
This new interface is able just to wait and wake on a 32 bits user futex.
The wait operation supports timeout with absolute values only, using
timespec64, in monotonic or realtime mode. This syscall is not compatible
with ABIs that have timesize as 32 bits, only the ones that support 64
bits timesize. The code can be found in my git tree[1].
The design of this syscall was based on the discussion following the
"futex: Implement mechanism to wait on any of several futexes" patch[2].
In order to test the code, the glibc 2.31 low level futex code was
modified to use the new syscall. It's possible to find the code here[3].
After running the tests of glibc (`make check subdir=nptl`), only 26
tests of 370 didn't passed, and since they are all related to FUTEX_PI,
which isn't implemented in the new interface, those failures were expected.
All kernel selftests were successful.

2.27.0
Add a simple test to test wake/wait mechanism using futex2 interface.
Create helper files so more tests can evaluate futex2. While 32bit ABIs
from glibc aren't able to use 64 bit sized time variables, add a
temporary workaround that implements the required types and calls the
appropriated syscalls, since futex2 doesn't supports 32 bit sized time.

What branch/tag this submission is based on please? It seems it is not a
5.8 but rather 5.7 since the second patch misses faccessat2() syscall
and fails to be applied cleanly.
Thanks.

As stated in MAINTAINERS[1], this submission is based on locking/core
branch from tip/tip[2] tree. The most updated release tag in this tree
is v5.8-rc1. My patches applied on top of locking/core are available in
my tree: https://gitlab.collabora.com/tonyk/linux/-/commits/futex2
According to 6c3c184fc420 ("tools headers API: Update faccessat2
affected files"), it seems that `faccessat2` entry at
`tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h` was added after the syscall
was merged, so that's why 5.8-rc1 misses the syscall in this specific
file. Rebasing locking/core in 5.8-rc2 or above will fix that.
