Matt bisected a sparc64 specific issue with semctl, shmctl and msgctl
to a commit from my y2038 series in linux-5.1, as I missed the custom
sys_ipc() wrapper that sparc64 uses in place of the generic version that
I patched.

The problem is that the sys_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions in the kernel
now do not allow being called with the IPC_64 flag any more, resulting
in a -EINVAL error when they don't recognize the command.

Instead, the correct way to do this now is to call the internal
ksys_old_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions to select the API version.

As we generally move towards these functions anyway, change all of
sparc_ipc() to consistently use those in place of the sys_*() versions,
and move the required ksys_*() declarations into linux/syscalls.h

The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYSVIPC) check is required to avoid link
errors when ipc is disabled.

<title>proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check</title>

<content type='text'>
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

compiled with the default Fedora config:

Andreas Christoforou reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow:
  9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int'

Which could be triggered by:

        struct mq_attr attr = {
                .mq_flags = 0,
                .mq_maxmsg = 9,
                .mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
                .mq_curmsgs = 0,
        };

        if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &amp;attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
                perror("mq_open");

mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize, and
preparing to return -EINVAL.  During the cleanup, it calls
mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for
updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all
(which would indicate that the calculations would be sane).  Instead,
delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".

The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is
harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the
calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.

<title>ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99db46ea292780cd978d56932d9445b1e8bdafe8</id>
<content type='text'>
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits.  So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx).  The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
 2) At least, the cycling is done over
   "normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
   "ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
	No change for &lt;= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
	active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
	tree.
	Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
	more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
	Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
	With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
	added, instead of &gt; 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
	is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed &lt; 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
  is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
  is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
	x=semget();
	for(i=0;i&lt;4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
	y=semget();
	Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
   If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
   possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
   get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 &amp; 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 &amp; 40: -0.2%
1 &amp; 3348: - 0.8%
1 &amp; 27348: - 1.6%
1 &amp; 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
	(2&lt;&lt;12).

<title>ipc: conserve sequence numbers in ipcmni_extend mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3278a2c20cb302d27e6f6ee45a3f57361176e426</id>
<content type='text'>
Rewrite, based on the patch from Waiman Long:

The mixing in of a sequence number into the IPC IDs is probably to avoid
ID reuse in userspace as much as possible.  With ipcmni_extend mode, the
number of usable sequence numbers is greatly reduced leading to higher
chance of ID reuse.

To address this issue, we need to conserve the sequence number space as
much as possible.  Right now, the sequence number is incremented for
every new ID created.  In reality, we only need to increment the
sequence number when new allocated ID is not greater than the last one
allocated.  It is in such case that the new ID may collide with an
existing one.  This is being done irrespective of the ipcmni mode.

In order to avoid any races, the index is first allocated and then the
pointer is replaced.

Changes compared to the initial patch:
 - Handle failures from idr_alloc().
 - Avoid that concurrent operations can see the wrong sequence number.
   (This is achieved by using idr_replace()).
 - IPCMNI_SEQ_SHIFT is not a constant, thus renamed to
   ipcmni_seq_shift().
 - IPCMNI_SEQ_MAX is not a constant, thus renamed to ipcmni_seq_max().

The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to
32k.  That limit should be big enough for most use cases.

However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially
those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique
identifiers.  To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel
option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M.  This
is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that
need a large number of unique IPC identifier.

The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC
identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2).  An application that
depends on such pattern may not work properly.  So it should only be
used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers.

This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number
of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128.  So it is a trade-off.

The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical
path.  So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real
performance impact.
