Subject: [PATCH v3 00/13] Add futex2 syscalls

Hi,

This patch series introduces the futex2 syscalls.

* What happened to the current futex()?

For some years now, developers have been trying to add new features to
futex, but maintainers have been reluctant to accept then, given the
multiplexed interface full of legacy features and tricky to do big
changes. Some problems that people tried to address with patchsets are:
NUMA-awareness[0], smaller sized futexes[1], wait on multiple futexes[2].
NUMA, for instance, just doesn't fit the current API in a reasonable
way. Considering that, it's not possible to merge new features into the
current futex.

** The NUMA problem

At the current implementation, all futex kernel side infrastructure is
stored on a single node. Given that, all futex() calls issued by
processors that aren't located on that node will have a memory access
penalty when doing it.

** The 32bit sized futex problem

Embedded systems or anything with memory constrains would benefit of
using smaller sizes for the futex userspace integer. Also, a mutex
implementation can be done using just three values, so 8 bits is enough
for various scenarios.

** The wait on multiple problem

The use case lies in the Wine implementation of the Windows NT interface
WaitMultipleObjects. This Windows API function allows a thread to sleep
waiting on the first of a set of event sources (mutexes, timers, signal,
console input, etc) to signal. Considering this is a primitive
synchronization operation for Windows applications, being able to quickly
signal events on the producer side, and quickly go to sleep on the
consumer side is essential for good performance of those running over Wine.

* The solution

As proposed by Peter Zijlstra and Florian Weimer[3], a new interface
is required to solve this, which must be designed with those features in
mind. futex2() is that interface. As opposed to the current multiplexed
interface, the new one should have one syscall per operation. This will
allow the maintainability of the API if it gets extended, and will help
users with type checking of arguments.

In particular, the new interface is extended to support the ability to
wait on any of a list of futexes at a time, which could be seen as a
vectored extension of the FUTEX_WAIT semantics.

[3] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

* The interface

The new interface can be seen in details in the following patches, but
this is a high level summary of what the interface can do:

- Supports wake/wait semantics, as in futex()
- Supports requeue operations, similarly as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE, but with
individual flags for each address
- Supports waiting for a vector of futexes, using a new syscall named
futex_waitv()
- Supports variable sized futexes (8bits, 16bits, 32bits and 64bits)
- Supports NUMA-awareness operations, where the user can specify on
which memory node would like to operate

* Implementation

The internal implementation follows a similar design to the original futex.
Given that we want to replicate the same external behavior of current
futex, this should be somewhat expected. For some functions, like the
init and the code to get a shared key, I literally copied code and
comments from kernel/futex.c. I decided to do so instead of exposing the
original function as a public function since in that way we can freely
modify our implementation if required, without any impact on old futex.
Also, the comments precisely describes the details and corner cases of
the implementation.

Each patch contains a brief description of implementation, but patch 6
"docs: locking: futex2: Add documentation" adds a more complete document
about it.

* The patchset

This patchset can be also found at my git tree:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/tonyk/linux/-/tree/futex2-dev

- Patch 1: Implements wait/wake, and the basics foundations of futex2

- Patches 2-4: Implement the remaining features (shared, waitv, requeue).

- Patch 5: Adds the x86_x32 ABI handling. I kept it in a separated
patch since I'm not sure if x86_x32 is still a thing, or if it should
return -ENOSYS.

- Patch 6: Add a documentation file which details the interface and
the internal implementation.

- Patches 7-13: Selftests for all operations along with perf
support for futex2.

- Patch 14: While working on porting glibc for futex2, I found out
that there's a futex_wake() call at the user thread exit path, if
that thread was created with clone(..., CLONE_CHILD_SETTID, ...). In
order to make pthreads work with futex2, it was required to add
this patch. Note that this is more a proof-of-concept of what we
will need to do in future, rather than part of the interface and
shouldn't be merged as it is.

* Testing:

This patchset provides selftests for each operation and their flags.
Along with that, the following work was done:

** Stability

To stress the interface in "real world scenarios":

- glibc[4]: nptl's low level locking was modified to use futex2 API
(except for robust and PI things). All relevant nptl/ tests passed.

- Wine[5]: Proton/Wine was modified in order to use futex2() for the
emulation of Windows NT sync mechanisms based on futex, called "fsync".
Triple-A games with huge CPU's loads and tons of parallel jobs worked
as expected when compared with the previous FUTEX_WAIT_MULTIPLE
implementation at futex(). Some games issue 42k futex2() calls
per second.

- Full GNU/Linux distro: I installed the modified glibc in my host
machine, so all pthread's programs would use futex2(). After tweaking
systemd[6] to allow futex2() calls at seccomp, everything worked as
expected (web browsers do some syscall sandboxing and need some
configuration as well).

- perf: The perf benchmarks tests can also be used to stress the
interface, and they can be found in this patchset.

** Performance

- For comparing futex() and futex2() performance, I used the artificial
benchmarks implemented at perf (wake, wake-parallel, hash and
requeue). The setup was 200 runs for each test and using 8, 80, 800,
8000 for the number of threads, Note that for this test, I'm not using
patch 14 ("kernel: Enable waitpid() for futex2") , for reasons explained
at "The patchset" section.

- For the first three ones, I measured an average of 4% gain in
performance. This is not a big step, but it shows that the new
interface is at least comparable in performance with the current one.

- For requeue, I measured an average of 21% decrease in performance
compared to the original futex implementation. This is expected given
the new design with individual flags. The performance trade-offs are
explained at patch 4 ("futex2: Implement requeue operation").

[6] https://gitlab.collabora.com/tonyk/systemd

* FAQ

** "Where's the code for NUMA and FUTEX_8/16/64?"

The current code is already complex enough to take some time for
review, so I believe it's better to split that work out to a future
iteration of this patchset. Besides that, this RFC is the core part of the
infrastructure, and the following features will not pose big design
changes to it, the work will be more about wiring up the flags and
modifying some functions.

** "Where's the PI/robust stuff?"

As said by Peter Zijlstra at [3], all those new features are related to
the "simple" futex interface, that doesn't use PI or robust. Do we want
to have this complexity at futex2() and if so, should it be part of
this patchset or can it be future work?

Thanks,
André

Subject: [PATCH v3 01/13] futex2: Implement wait and wake functions

Create a new set of futex syscalls known as futex2. This new interface
is aimed to implement a more maintainable code, while removing obsolete
features and expanding it with new functionalities.

Implements wait and wake semantics for futexes, along with the base
infrastructure for future operations. The whole wait path is designed to
be used by N waiters, thus making easier to implement vectorized wait.

* Syscalls implemented by this patch:

- futex_wait(void *uaddr, unsigned int val, unsigned int flags,
struct timespec *timo)

The user thread is put to sleep, waiting for a futex_wake() at uaddr,
if the value at *uaddr is the same as val (otherwise, the syscall
returns immediately with -EAGAIN). timo is an optional timeout value
for the operation.

Return 0 on success, error code otherwise.

- futex_wake(void *uaddr, unsigned long nr_wake, unsigned int flags)

Wake `nr_wake` threads waiting at uaddr.

Return the number of woken threads on success, error code otherwise.

** The `flag` argument

The flag is used to specify the size of the futex word
(FUTEX_[8, 16, 32, 64]). It's mandatory to define one, since there's no
default size.

By default, the timeout uses a monotonic clock, but can be used as a
realtime one by using the FUTEX_REALTIME_CLOCK flag.

By default, futexes are of the private type, that means that this user
address will be accessed by threads that shares the same memory region.
This allows for some internal optimizations, so they are faster.
However, if the address needs to be shared with different processes
(like using `mmap()` or `shm()`), they need to be defined as shared and
the flag FUTEX_SHARED_FLAG is used to set that.

By default, the operation has no NUMA-awareness, meaning that the user
can't choose the memory node where the kernel side futex data will be
stored. The user can choose the node where it wants to operate by
setting the FUTEX_NUMA_FLAG and using the following structure (where X
can be 8, 16, or 32, 64):

struct futexX_numa {
__uX value;
__sX hint;
};

This structure should be passed at the `void *uaddr` of futex
functions. The address of the structure will be used to be waited/waken
on, and the `value` will be compared to `val` as usual. The `hint`
member is used to defined which node the futex will use. When waiting,
the futex will be registered on a kernel-side table stored on that
node; when waking, the futex will be searched for on that given table.
That means that there's no redundancy between tables, and the wrong
`hint` value will led to undesired behavior. Userspace is responsible
for dealing with node migrations issues that may occur. `hint` can
range from [0, MAX_NUMA_NODES], for specifying a node, or -1, to use
the same node the current process is using.

When not using FUTEX_NUMA_FLAG on a NUMA system, the futex will be
stored on a global table on some node, defined at compilation time.

** The `timo` argument

As per the Y2038 work done in the kernel, new interfaces shouldn't add
timeout options known to be buggy. Given that, `timo` should be a 64bit
timeout at all platforms, using an absolute timeout value.

Subject: [PATCH v3 02/13] futex2: Add support for shared futexes

Add support for shared futexes for cross-process resources. This design
relies on the same approach done in old futex to create an unique id for
file-backed shared memory, by using a counter at struct inode.

There are two types of futexes: private and shared ones. The private are
futexes meant to be used by threads that shares the same memory space,
are easier to be uniquely identified an thus can have some performance
optimization. The elements for identifying one are: the start address of
the page where the address is, the address offset within the page and
the current->mm pointer.

Now, for uniquely identifying shared futex:

- If the page containing the user address is an anonymous page, we can
just use the same data used for private futexes (the start address of
the page, the address offset within the page and the current->mm
pointer) that will be enough for uniquely identifying such futex. We
also set one bit at the key to differentiate if a private futex is
used on the same address (mixing shared and private calls are not
allowed).

- If the page is file-backed, current->mm maybe isn't the same one for
every user of this futex, so we need to use other data: the
page->index, an UUID for the struct inode and the offset within the
page.

Note that members of futex_key doesn't have any particular meaning after
they are part of the struct - they are just bytes to identify a futex.
Given that, we don't need to use a particular name or type that matches
the original data, we only need to care about the bitsize of each
component and make both private and shared data fit in the same memory
space.

Subject: [PATCH v3 04/13] futex2: Implement requeue operation

Implement requeue interface similarly to FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation.
This is the syscall implemented by this patch:

futex_requeue(struct futex_requeue *uaddr1, struct futex_requeue *uaddr2,
unsigned int nr_wake, unsigned int nr_requeue,
u64 cmpval, unsigned int flags)

struct futex_requeue {
void *uaddr;
unsigned int flags;
};

If (uaddr1->uaddr == cmpval), wake at uaddr1->uaddr a nr_wake number of
waiters and then, remove a number of nr_requeue waiters at uaddr1->uaddr
and add them to uaddr2->uaddr list. Each uaddr has its own set of flags,
that must be defined at struct futex_requeue (such as size, shared, NUMA).
The flags argument of the syscall is there just for the sake of
extensibility, and right now it needs to be zero.

Return the number of the woken futexes + the number of requeued ones on
success, error code otherwise.

The original FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE interfaces is such as follows:

futex(*uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE, nr_wake, nr_requeue, *uaddr2, cmpval);

Given that when this interface was created they was only one type of
futex (as opposed to futex2, where there is shared, sizes, and NUMA),
there was no way to specify individual flags for uaddr1 and 2. When
FUTEX_PRIVATE was implemented, a new opcode was created as well
(FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE), but they apply both futexes, so they
should be of the same type regarding private/shared. This imposes a
limitation on the use cases of the operation, and to overcome that at futex2,
`struct futex_requeue` was created, so one can set individual flags for
each futex. This flexibility is a trade-off with performance, given that
now we need to perform two extra copy_from_user(). One alternative would
be to use the upper half of flags bits to the first one, and the bottom
half for the second futex, but this would also impose limitations, given
that we would limit by half the flags possibilities. If equal futexes
are common enough, the following extension could be added to overcome
the current performance:

- A flag FUTEX_REQUEUE_EQUAL is added to futex2() flags;
- If futex_requeue() see this flag, that means that both futexes uses
the same set of attributes.
- Then, the function parses the flags as of futex_wait/wake().
- *uaddr1 and *uaddr2 are used as void* (instead of struct
futex_requeue) just like wait/wake().

In that way, we could avoid the copy_from_user().

Subject: [PATCH v3 05/13] futex2: Add compatibility entry point for x86_x32 ABI

New syscalls should use the same entry point for x86_64 and x86_x32
paths. Add a wrapper for x32 calls to use parse functions that assumes
32bit pointers.

Subject: [PATCH v3 07/13] selftests: futex2: Add wake/wait test

Add a simple file to test wake/wait mechanism using futex2 interface.
Test three scenarios: using a common local int variable as private
futex, a shm futex as shared futex and a file-backed shared memory as a
shared futex. This should test all branches of futex_get_key().

Create helper files so more tests can evaluate futex2. While 32bit ABIs
from glibc aren't yet 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.

Subject: [PATCH v3 03/13] futex2: Implement vectorized wait

Add support to wait on multiple futexes. This is the interface
implemented by this syscall:

futex_waitv(struct futex_waitv *waiters, unsigned int nr_futexes,
unsigned int flags, struct timespec *timo)

struct futex_waitv {
__u64 val;
void *uaddr;
unsigned int flags;
};

Given an array of struct futex_waitv, wait on each uaddr. The thread
wakes if a futex_wake() is performed at any uaddr. The syscall returns
immediately if any waiter has *uaddr != val. *timo is an optional
timeout value for the operation. The flags argument of the syscall
should be used solely for specifying the timeout as realtime, if needed.
Flags for shared futexes, sizes, etc. should be used on the individual
flags of each waiter.

Returns the array index of one of the awakened futexes. There’s no given
information of how many were awakened, or any particular attribute of it
(if it’s the first awakened, if it is of the smaller index...).

Subject: [PATCH v3 12/13] perf bench: Add futex2 benchmark tests

Add support at the existing futex benchmarking code base to enable
futex2 calls. `perf bench` tests can be used not only as a way to
measure the performance of implementation, but also as stress testing
for the kernel infrastructure.

Subject: [PATCH v3 13/13] kernel: Enable waitpid() for futex2

To make pthreads works as expected if they are using futex2, wake
clear_child_tid with futex2 as well. This is make applications that uses
waitpid() (and clone(CLONE_CHILD_SETTID)) wake while waiting for the
child to terminate. Given that apps should not mix futex() and futex2(),
any correct app will trigger a harmless noop wakeup on the interface
that it isn't using.

This commit is here for the intend to show what we need to do in order
to get a full NPTL working on top of futex2. It should be merged after
we talk to glibc folks on the details around the futex_wait() side. For
instance, we could use this as an opportunity to use private futexes or
8bit sized futexes, but both sides need to use the exactly same flags.

+
+futex, or fast user mutex, is a set of syscalls to allow userspace to create
+performant synchronization mechanisms, such as mutexes, semaphores and
+conditional variables in userspace. C standard libraries, like glibc, uses it
+as a means to implement more high level interfaces like pthreads.
+
+The interface
+=============
+
+uAPI functions
+--------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: kernel/futex2.c
+ :identifiers: sys_futex_wait sys_futex_wake sys_futex_waitv sys_futex_requeue
+
+uAPI structures
+---------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/futex.h
+
+The ``flag`` argument
+---------------------
+
+The flag is used to specify the size of the futex word
+(FUTEX_[8, 16, 32, 64]). It's mandatory to define one, since there's no
+default size.
+
+By default, the timeout uses a monotonic clock, but can be used as a realtime
+one by using the FUTEX_REALTIME_CLOCK flag.
+
+By default, futexes are of the private type, that means that this user address
+will be accessed by threads that share the same memory region. This allows for
+some internal optimizations, so they are faster. However, if the address needs
+to be shared with different processes (like using ``mmap()`` or ``shm()``), they
+need to be defined as shared and the flag FUTEX_SHARED_FLAG is used to set that.
+
+By default, the operation has no NUMA-awareness, meaning that the user can't
+choose the memory node where the kernel side futex data will be stored. The
+user can choose the node where it wants to operate by setting the
+FUTEX_NUMA_FLAG and using the following structure (where X can be 8, 16, 32 or
+64)::
+
+ struct futexX_numa {
+ __uX value;
+ __sX hint;
+ };
+
+This structure should be passed at the ``void *uaddr`` of futex functions. The
+address of the structure will be used to be waited on/waken on, and the
+``value`` will be compared to ``val`` as usual. The ``hint`` member is used to
+define which node the futex will use. When waiting, the futex will be
+registered on a kernel-side table stored on that node; when waking, the futex
+will be searched for on that given table. That means that there's no redundancy
+between tables, and the wrong ``hint`` value will lead to undesired behavior.
+Userspace is responsible for dealing with node migrations issues that may
+occur. ``hint`` can range from [0, MAX_NUMA_NODES), for specifying a node, or
+-1, to use the same node the current process is using.
+
+When not using FUTEX_NUMA_FLAG on a NUMA system, the futex will be stored on a
+global table on allocated on the first node.
+
+The ``timo`` argument
+---------------------
+
+As per the Y2038 work done in the kernel, new interfaces shouldn't add timeout
+options known to be buggy. Given that, ``timo`` should be a 64-bit timeout at
+all platforms, using an absolute timeout value.
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+The internal implementation follows a similar design to the original futex.
+Given that we want to replicate the same external behavior of current futex,
+this should be somewhat expected.
+
+Waiting
+-------
+
+For the wait operations, they are all treated as if you want to wait on N
+futexes, so the path for futex_wait and futex_waitv is the basically the same.
+For both syscalls, the first step is to prepare an internal list for the list
+of futexes to wait for (using struct futexv_head). For futex_wait() calls, this
+list will have a single object.
+
+We have a hash table, where waiters register themselves before sleeping. Then
+the wake function checks this table looking for waiters at uaddr. The hash
+bucket to be used is determined by a struct futex_key, that stores information
+to uniquely identify an address from a given process. Given the huge address
+space, there'll be hash collisions, so we store information to be later used on
+collision treatment.
+
+First, for every futex we want to wait on, we check if (``*uaddr == val``).
+This check is done holding the bucket lock, so we are correctly serialized with
+any futex_wake() calls. If any waiter fails the check above, we dequeue all
+futexes. The check (``*uaddr == val``) can fail for two reasons:
+
+- The values are different, and we return -EAGAIN. However, if while
+ dequeueing we found that some futexes were awakened, we prioritize this
+ and return success.
+
+- When trying to access the user address, we do so with page faults
+ disabled because we are holding a bucket's spin lock (and can't sleep
+ while holding a spin lock). If there's an error, it might be a page
+ fault, or an invalid address. We release the lock, dequeue everyone
+ (because it's illegal to sleep while there are futexes enqueued, we
+ could lose wakeups) and try again with page fault enabled. If we
+ succeed, this means that the address is valid, but we need to do
+ all the work again. For serialization reasons, we need to have the
+ spin lock when getting the user value. Additionally, for shared
+ futexes, we also need to recalculate the hash, since the underlying
+ mapping mechanisms could have changed when dealing with page fault.
+ If, even with page fault enabled, we can't access the address, it
+ means it's an invalid user address, and we return -EFAULT. For this
+ case, we prioritize the error, even if some futexes were awaken.
+
+If the check is OK, they are enqueued on a linked list in our bucket, and
+proceed to the next one. If all waiters succeed, we put the thread to sleep
+until a futex_wake() call, timeout expires or we get a signal. After waking up,
+we dequeue everyone, and check if some futex was awakened. This dequeue is done
+by iteratively walking at each element of struct futex_head list.
+
+All enqueuing/dequeuing operations requires to hold the bucket lock, to avoid
+racing while modifying the list.
+
+Waking
+------
+
+We get the bucket that's storing the waiters at uaddr, and wake the required
+number of waiters, checking for hash collision.
+
+There's an optimization that makes futex_wake() not take the bucket lock if
+there's no one to be woken on that bucket. It checks an atomic counter that each
+bucket has, if it says 0, then the syscall exits. In order for this to work, the
+waiter thread increases it before taking the lock, so the wake thread will
+correctly see that there's someone waiting and will continue the path to take
+the bucket lock. To get the correct serialization, the waiter issues a memory
+barrier after increasing the bucket counter and the waker issues a memory
+barrier before checking it.
+
+Requeuing
+---------
+
+The requeue path first checks for each struct futex_requeue and their flags.
+Then, it will compare the expected value with the one at uaddr1::uaddr.
+Following the same serialization explained at Waking_, we increase the atomic
+counter for the bucket of uaddr2 before taking the lock. We need to have both
+buckets locks at same time so we don't race with other futex operation. To
+ensure the locks are taken in the same order for all threads (and thus avoiding
+deadlocks), every requeue operation takes the "smaller" bucket first, when
+comparing both addresses.
+
+If the compare with user value succeeds, we proceed by waking ``nr_wake``
+futexes, and then requeuing ``nr_requeue`` from bucket of uaddr1 to the uaddr2.
+This consists in a simple list deletion/addition and replacing the old futex key
+with the new one.
+
+Futex keys
+----------
+
+There are two types of futexes: private and shared ones. The private are futexes
+meant to be used by threads that share the same memory space, are easier to be
+uniquely identified and thus can have some performance optimization. The
+elements for identifying one are: the start address of the page where the
+address is, the address offset within the page and the current->mm pointer.
+
+Now, for uniquely identifying a shared futex:
+
+- If the page containing the user address is an anonymous page, we can
+ just use the same data used for private futexes (the start address of
+ the page, the address offset within the page and the current->mm
+ pointer); that will be enough for uniquely identifying such futex. We
+ also set one bit at the key to differentiate if a private futex is
+ used on the same address (mixing shared and private calls does not
+ work).
+
+- If the page is file-backed, current->mm maybe isn't the same one for
+ every user of this futex, so we need to use other data: the
+ page->index, a UUID for the struct inode and the offset within the
+ page.
+
+Note that members of futex_key don't have any particular meaning after they
+are part of the struct - they are just bytes to identify a futex. Given that,
+we don't need to use a particular name or type that matches the original data,
+we only need to care about the bitsize of each component and make both private
+and shared fit in the same memory space.

Subject: [PATCH v3 11/13] selftests: futex2: Add requeue test

Add testing for futex_requeue(). The first test just requeue from one
waiter to another one, and wake it. The second performs both wake and
requeue, and we check return values to see if the operation
woke/requeued the expected number of waiters.

I still utterly detest that this adds a second hash-table for no
descernable reason.

The new syscall interface does not depend on that in any way, you
previously implemented the multi-wait thing in the current futex code.

Like I said last time; I'm okay with the new interface, but I don't see
why you need to reimplement the insides, that's all pointless code
duplication.

The real question is whether we really need to model all of this along
the existing futex functionality. I wouldn't mind a new infrastructure
which addresses all the other known issues of futexes and makes the
overall design less horrible than what we have now.

But that needs input from futex users (libraries and other horrible
wrappers) to figure out what they really need, hate, like or do not care
about.

Without that we are bound to pile more crap on the existing pile of
horrors forever.

Thank you for the feedback. I think we are completing another full
circle on the proposals. I've proposed a futex2 interface that would use
the current futex infrastructure[0], but my understanding is that this
is discouraged given it needs to do big changes in the current futex
code. Given that, I proceeded with developing a new code for futex2,
taking in consideration those new use cases (waitv, NUMA, sizes) and
known issues.

As you know, my original goal with this work is to have a native and
efficient way to wait on multiple objects. Right now, we've proposed it
in three different ways, but so far none had much success in being
merged. Of course, I want to take the approach that better fits the
community goals, as this patchset suggests - a work that goes away
further than just implementing a multi-wait feature. But for the benefit
of not walking in circles, what we need back is a clear direction, in
order to proceed that.

I think it's clear the use case for "wait on multiple" as a way to
emulate WinAPI and for Linux native loads like game engines is valid.
We have been running it in the field with success for the past year or
so. I'm also working with userspace communities to get a better sense of
how this and other features would work in the real world. You can read
an example of that effort with Chromium developers at [1], and there are
more to come.

Maybe support for multiple futexes and futex2 are disjoint things? The
multi-wait can be achieved through a (somewhat) simple implementation,
on the old interface or in a new one, while for futex2 we are still
unsure about how it should look like and its blocking this feature.
