From: Aliaksandr Patseyenak <[email protected]>
Implement system call for bulk retrieveing of opened descriptors
in binary form.
Some daemons could use it to reliably close file descriptors
before starting. Currently they close everything upto some number
which formally is not reliable. Other natural users are lsof(1) and CRIU
(although lsof does so much in /proc that the effect is thoroughly buried).
/proc, the only way to learn anything about file descriptors may not be
available. There is unavoidable overhead associated with instantiating
3 dentries and 3 inodes and converting integers to strings and back.
Benchmark:
N=1<<22 times
4 opened descriptors (0, 1, 2, 3)
opendir+readdir+closedir /proc/self/fd vs fdmap
/proc 8.31 ? 0.37%
fdmap 0.32 ? 0.72%

NAME
fdmap - get open file descriptors of the process
SYNOPSIS
long fdmap(pid_t pid, int *fd, unsigned int nfd, int start, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
fdmap() writes open file descriptors of the process into buffer fd
starting from the start descriptor. At most nfd elements are written.
flags argument is reserved and must be zero.
If pid is zero, syscall will work with the current process.
RETURN VALUE
On success, number of descriptors written is returned. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
ESRCH No such process.
EACCES Permission denied.
EFAULT Invalid fd pointer.
EINVAL Negative start argument.
NOTES
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for these system call; call it using
syscall(2).
EXAMPLE
The program below demonstrates fdmap() usage.
$ ./a.out $$
0 1 2 255
$ ./a.out 42</dev/null 1023</dev/null
0 1 2 42

From: Tatsiana Brouka <[email protected]>
Implement system call for bulk retrieveing of pids in binary form.
Using /proc is slower than necessary: 3 syscalls + another 3 for each thread +
converting with atoi() + instantiating dentries and inodes.
/proc may be not mounted especially in containers. Natural extension of
hidepid=2 efforts is to not mount /proc at all.
It could be used by programs like ps, top or CRIU. Speed increase will
become more drastic once combined with bulk retrieval of process statistics.
Benchmark:
N=1<<16 times
~130 processes (~250 task_structs) on a regular desktop system
opendir + readdir + closedir /proc + the same for every /proc/$PID/task
(roughly what htop(1) does) vs pidmap
/proc 16.80 ± 0.73%
pidmap 0.06 ± 0.31%
PIDMAP_* flags are modelled after /proc/task_diag patchset.
PIDMAP(2) Linux Programmer's Manual PIDMAP(2)
NAME
pidmap - get allocated PIDs
SYNOPSIS
long pidmap(pid_t pid, int *pids, unsigned int count , unsigned int start, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The system call pidmap(2) writes process IDs in buffer pointed by pids.
At most count pids are written. The pid argument specifies process ID
in several values in flags. If pid equals to zero, syscall will work
with current process. The argument start depends on the flags. The
argument flags must include one of the following modes: PIDMAP_TASKS,
PIDMAP_PROC, PIDMAP_CHILDREN, or PIDMAP_THREADS. For PIDMAP_TASKS and
PIDMAP_PROC exists optional PIDMAP_IGNORE_KTHREADS flag.
PIDs are filled from pid namespace of the calling process POV:
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) + fork + pidmap in child will always return 1/1.
pidmap(2) hides PIDs inaccessible at /proc mounted with hide_pid
option.
Note, pidmap(2) does not guarantee that any of returned PID exists by
the time system call exists.
Full list of flags and options is below:
PIDMAP_TASKS
Get PIDs of all tasks, including threads starting from start
inclusive. First argument pid will be ignored.
PIDMAP_PROC
Get all process IDs starting from start inclusive. First argu‐
ment pid will be ignored.
PIDMAP_CHILDREN
Get children IDs of the process specified by pid argument.
start argument specifies number of children to skip in this
case.
PIDMAP_THREADS
Get threads IDs of the process specified by pid argument. start
argument specifies number of threads to skip in this case.
PIDMAP_IGNORE_KTHREADS
Ignore kernel threads. Optional and will be ignored with
PIDMAP_CHILDREN and PIDMAP_THREADS flags.
RETURN VALUE
On success, number of PIDs read is returned. Otherwise, error code is
returned.
ERRORS
ESRCH No such process.
EACCES Permission denied.
EFAULT Invalid pids pointer.
EINVAL Invalid flags value.
NOTES
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using
syscall(2).

I think we will seriously regret a syscall that does this. Djalal is
working on fixing the turd that is hidepid, and this syscall is
basically incompatible with ever fixing hidepids. I think that, to
make it less regrettable, it needs to take an fd to a proc mount as a
parameter. This makes me wonder why it's a syscall at all -- why not
just create a new file like /proc/pids?

This doesn't have the semantic problem that pidmap does, but I still
wonder why this can't be accomplished by adding a new file in /proc.

>From the text above, I'm still trying to understand: whose problem
does this solve? I mean, we've lived with the daemon-close-all-files
technique forever (and I'm not sure that performance is really an
important issue for the daemon case) . And you say that the effect
for lsof(1) will be buried. So, who does this new system call
really help? (Note: I'm not saying don't add the syscall, but from
explanation given here, it's not clear why we should.)
Thanks,

Similar to my comments on fdmap(). The last paragraph here is
rather hypothetical. Who specifically needs this right now,
and why? This sort of detail should be part of the commit
message, IMHO.

Actually I am not sure if software will work if /proc is not mounted,
last time (years) I
checked glibc was doing extra checks during initialization using
/proc/self/* memory
inodes and it may fail. Also fexecve() glibc is implemented using
/proc/self/... so it
depends on which library and the use case for cloud containers...
Also for the natural extension of hidepid=2 where we only want pids inside /proc
without kernel data, we have already a clean patch on top of the procfs
modernization [1] , this is the result of the previous months.

Yes the numbers are nice, seems that you want to move from filesystem syscalls
on procfs, to only use direct syscalls, hmm this does not help to fix
procfs. Tools
like ps, top and others can be updated, but anyone can *continue* to use
open+read on procfs and access the data.
I think this will be a bit hard to fix from our side, since with your
patches you are
doing it from current context, where from procfs it will be from:
current+procfs mount context.
What if procfs is mounted with "ptracepids=true" the new "hidepid=" but whithout
"gid=" interaction, and then you read from /proc/<pid>/pidmap/* as suggested
by Andy ? /proc/<pid>/pidmap/{tasks|proc|children} I am not sure about the
PIDMAP_IGNORE_KTHREADS case...

Thanks!

P.S. for the procfs modernization we are planning patches next days.

It can be done in /proc but the point of the exercise is to skip all the
overhead: in this case dcache, 1 descriptor for readdir, conversion
from binary to string.
The problem is much deeper, namely, EIATF people force everyone else
to cater to Unix shells so that they can do read() on them because
Unix shells can't do system calls like real programming languages.
The only way to fix this problem is to ignore Unix shells and start
introducing binary system calls so that normal people aren't forced
to make their programs slower than necessary.
Example: lsof(1) does close() from 3 to 1023 inclusive on startup.
I don't know why but it does it. 1 syscall = 1 us, 1000 syscalls = 1 ms
wasted because all of them will return -EBADF normally. With fdmap(2),
lsof would do 2 fdmap() calls (1 real + 1 to confirm no more descriptors
are available + 0 closes in normal situation). That's 2 syscalls vs 1020.
Obviously, for binary model to work fdmap(2) needs to be complemented
by other system calls all of which will bypass /proc for, say, extracting
/proc/$PID/fd/$i symlink content and fdinfo. Currently, if you use
fdmap(2) you still have to fish in /proc for the rest of the data.

See reply to fdmap(2).
pidmap(2) is indeed more complex case exactly because of
pid/tgid/tid/everything else + pidnamespaces + ->hide_pid.
However the problem remains: query task tree without all the bullshit.
C/R people succumbed with /proc/*/children, it was a mistake IMO.

If only fdmap(2) is added, then effect will be negligible for lsof
because it has to go through /proc anyway.
The idea is to start process. In ideal world, only bynary system calls
would exist and shells could emulate /proc/* same way bash implement
/dev/tcp

For fdmap(2) natural users are lsof(), CRIU.
At some point, checkpointing was moved to userspace forcing them
to run all over /proc extracting information which could be recovered in
couple of locks, bunch of list iterations and dereferences (just read CRIU).
All of this could not be beneficial for performance.
Parsing text files doesn't help either: most of the numbers in
/proc/*/stat et al are unpadded decimals so that user can't rewind to
exact field he wants.

Then start the process by doing it for real and making it obviously
useful. We should not add a pair of vaguely useful, rather weak
syscalls just to start a process of modernizing /proc.

lsof does:
int
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
...
if ((MaxFd = (int) GET_MAX_FD()) < 53)
MaxFd = 53;
for (i = 3; i < MaxFd; i++)
(void) close(i);
The solution isn't to wrangle fdmap(2) into this code. The solution
is to remove the code entirely.

Your syscall cannot be implemented sanely. It doesn't remove bullshit
-- it adds bullshit. NAK.

I concur.
Alexey, you still have not wxplained who specifically needs this
right now, and how, precisely, they plan to use the new system calls.
It is all very arm-wavey so far.
Thanks,

Before doing it for real it would be nice to have at least a nod
from people in charge that syscalls which return binary
information are OK. Otherwise some EIATF guy will just say
"NAK /proc is fine, it always was fine".
Or look from another angle: sched_setaffinity exists but there is
no /proc counterpart, shells must use taskset(1) and world didn't end.

It is not if you read even example program in the original patch.
Any program which queries information about file descriptors
will benefit both in CPU and memory usage.
void closefrom(int start)
{
int fd[1024];
int n;
while ((n = fdmap(0, fd, sizeof(fd)/sizeof(fd[0]), start)) > 0) {
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
close(fd[i]);
start = fd[n - 1] + 1;
}
}
CRIU naturally to know everything about descriptors of target processes:
It does:
int predump_task_files(int pid)
{
struct dirent *de;
DIR *fd_dir;
int ret = -1;
pr_info("Pre-dump fds for %d)\n", pid);
fd_dir = opendir_proc(pid, "fd");
if (!fd_dir)
return -1;
while ((de = readdir(fd_dir))) {
if (dir_dots(de))
continue;
if (predump_one_fd(pid, atoi(de->d_name)))
goto out;
}
ret = 0;
out:
closedir(fd_dir);
return ret;
}
which is again inefficient.

There's nothing inherently wrong with syscalls that return binary
information. There is something wrong with reinventing the world with
insufficient justification, though.
/proc may be old, clunky, and kind of slow, but it has a lot of good
things going for it. It supports access control (DAC and MAC). It
handles namespacing in a way that's awkward but supported by all the
existing namespace managers. It may soon support mount options, which
is rather important.
I feel like we've been discussing this performance issue for over a
year, and I distinctly recall discussing it in Santa Fe. I suggested
a two-pronged approach:
1. Add a new syscall that will, in a single call, open, read, and
close a proc file and maybe even a regular non-proc file. Like this:
long readfileat(int dirfd, const char *path, void *buf, size_t len, int flags);
2. Where needed, add new /proc files with lighter-weight
representations. I think we discussed something that's like status
but in nl_attr format.
This doesn't end up with a bunch of code duplication the way that a
full-blown syscall-based reimplementation would. It supports all the
/proc features rather than just a subset. It fully respects access
control, future mount options, and the potential lack of a /proc
mount.

sched_setaffinity() modifies the caller. /proc wouldn't have made much sense.

And /proc/PID/fds would solve this.
