Hi Corinna (et al.),

now with NtQueryVirtualMemory(MemorySectionName) I've been able to drop
the need to early open any file, and any check for modified binaries.
Instead, only the failing fork call is the trigger to create the
hardlinks (if possible) - followed by a second fork call then.

One question: During dlopen rework I've learned about tmp_pathbuf:
Unlike in child process startup, where tmp_pathbuf is not initialised
yet (have nt_max_path_buffer instead), do you see a reason to not use
tmp_pathbuf during hardlink creation in parent process (patch 3)?

The idea there is to really catch the right file for when that file is
just being renamed - that needs the second filename buffer to compare.

Other than that: What do you think about these patches now?

Thanks!

Even for the main executable and cygwin1.dll store the file name as full
NT path.  Create the child process using the main executable's file name
converted from the full NT path stored before.

	* dll_init.cc (dll_list::alloc): Search for DLL_SELF type entry

	for DLL_LOAD type only.  For DLL_SELF type do not indicate

	executable and cygwin1.dll.
	(struct dll_list): Declare private method track_self.  Declare
	member variable main_executable.
	* fork.cc (frok::parent): Use ntname from dlls.main_executable
	to create child process, converted to short path using
	dll_list::buffered_shortname.

To avoid the need for each process to check the filesystem to detect
that hardlink creation is impossible or disabled, cache this fact in
shared memory.  Removing cygfork directory while in use does disable
hardlinks creation.  To (re-)enable hardlinks creation, the cygfork
directory has to exist before the first cygwin process does fork.

	* forkable.cc (dll_list::forkable_ntnamesize): Short cut
	forkables needs to impossible when disabled via shared memory.
	(dll_list::update_forkables_needs): When detecting hardlink
	creation as impossible (not on NTFS) while still (we are the
	first one checking) enabled via shared memory, disable the
	shared memory value.
	(dll_list::request_forkables): Disable the shared memory value
	when hardlinks creation became disabled, that is when the
	cygfork directory was removed.
	* include/cygwin/version.h: Bump CYGWIN_VERSION_SHARED_DATA 6.
	* shared_info.h (struct shared_info): Add member
	prefer_forkable_hardlinks.  Update CURR_SHARED_MAGIC.
	* shared.cc (shared_info::initialize): Initialize
	prefer_forkable_hardlinks to 1 (Yes).

	(release_at): Ditto.
	(dll_list::alloc): Use nt_max_path_buf method instead of local
	buffer.  Store module file name as full NT path, convert using
	the form_ntname static method.
	(dll_list::load_after_fork): Call load_after_fork_impl only when
	reload_on_fork is set.
	* fork.cc (frok::child): Call dlls.load_after_fork even without

From: Michael Haubenwallner @ 2016-12-07 11:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: cygwin-developers; +Cc: Michael Haubenwallner

To support in-cygwin package managers, the fork() implementation must
not rely on .exe and .dll files to stay in their original location, as
the package manager's job is to replace these files.  Instead, when the
first fork try fails, and we have NTFS, we use hardlinks to the original
binaries in /var/run/cygfork/ to create the child process during the
second fork try, along the main.exe.local file to enable the "DotLocal
Dll Redirection" feature for the dlls.

The (probably few) users that need an update-safe fork manually have to
create the /var/run/cygfork/ directory for now, using:
mkdir --mode=a=rwxt /var/run/cygfork

	* child_info.h: Bump CURR_CHILD_INFO_MAGIC.
	(enum child_status): Add _CI_SILENTFAIL flag.
	(struct child_info): Add silentfail setter and getter.
	* winsup.h (child_copy): Add bool silentfail parameter.
	* cygheap.cc: Pass silentfail parameter to child_copy.
	* dcrt0.cc: Ditto.
	* dll_init.h (struct dll): Define public inline method forkedntname.
	(struct dll_list): Declare private method find_by_forkedntname.
	* dll_init.cc (struct dll_list): Implement find_by_forkedntname.
	(dll_list::alloc): Use find_by_forkedntname when in load after fork.
	(dll_list::load_after_fork_impl): Load dlls using dll::forkedntname.
	* fork.cc (frok::parent): Set silentfail child info flag.  Pass
	silentfail parameter to child_copy.  Use forkedntname of
	dlls.main_executable.
	(fork): When first dofork run failed and did not use forkables,
	run dofork again with_forkables set to true.
	(child_copy): Use debug_printf if silentfail is true,
	system_printf otherwise.

From: Michael Haubenwallner @ 2016-12-07 11:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: cygwin-developers; +Cc: Michael Haubenwallner

In preparation to protect fork() against dll- and exe-updates, create
hardlinks to the main executable and each loaded dll in subdirectories
of /var/run/cygfork/, if that one exists on the NTFS file system.

The directory names consist of the user sid, the main executable's NTFS
IndexNumber, and the most recent LastWriteTime of all involved binaries
(dlls and main executable).  Next to the main.exe hardlink we create the
empty file main.exe.local to enable dll redirection.

The name of the mutex to synchronize hardlink creation/cleanup also is
assembled from these directory names, to allow for synchronized cleanup
of even orphaned hardlink directories.

The hardlink to each dynamically loaded dll goes into another directory,
named using the NTFS IndexNumber of the dll's original directory.

	* Makefile.in (DLL_OFILES): Add forkable.o.
	* dll_init.h (struct dll): Declare member variables fbi, fii,
	forkable_ntname.  Declare methods nominate_forkable,
	create_forkable.
	(struct dll_list): Declare enum forkables_needs.  Declare member
	variables forkables_dirx_size, forkables_dirx_ntname,
	forkables_mutex_name, forkables_mutex.  Declare private methods
	forkable_ntnamesize, prepare_forkables_nomination,
	update_forkables_needs, update_forkables, create_forkables,
	denominate_forkables, close_mutex, try_remove_forkables,
	set_forkables_inheritance, request_forkables.  Declare public
	static methods ntopenfile, read_fii, read_fbi.  Declare public
	methods release_forkables, cleanup_forkables.  Define public
	inline method setup_forkables.
	* dll_init.cc (dll_list::alloc): Allocate memory to hold the
	name of the hardlink in struct dll member forkable_ntname.
	Initialize struct dll members fbi, fii.
	(dll_list::load_after_fork): Call release_forkables method.
	* fork.cc: Rename public fork function to static dofork, add
	with_forkables as bool pointer parameter.  Add new fork function
	calling dofork.  (struct frok): Add bool pointer member
	with_forkables, add as constructor parameter.
	(frok::parent): Call dlls.setup_forkables before CreateProcessW,
	dlls.release_forkables afterwards.
	* pinfo.cc (pinfo::exit): Call dlls.cleanup_forkables.
	* syscalls.cc (_unlink_nt): Rename public unlink_nt function to
	static _unlink_nt, with 'shareable' as additional argument.
	(unlink_nt): New, wrap _unlink_nt for original behaviour.
	(unlink_nt_shareable): New, wrap _unlink_nt to keep a binary
	file still loadable while removing one of its hardlinks.
	* forkable.cc: New file.
	Implement static functions mkdirs, rmdirs, rmdirs_synchronized,
	stat_real_file_once, format_IndexNumber, rootname, sidname,
	exename, lwtimename.  Define static array forkable_nameparts.
	(struct dll): Implement nominate_forkable, create_forkable.
	(struct dll_list): Implement static methods ntopenfile,
	read_fii, read_fbi.  Implement forkable_ntnamesize,

Would you mind to create a brief tl;dr overview with bullet points to
describe what happens at which point?

No, that's fine.

I'm still reluctant in terms of the impact of this change.  It seems the
latest version has much less overhead in the default case, which is, no
DLLs and executables has been removed, but I'm not yet sure about
including it in master.

For the time being, I created a topic branch called "topic/forkables"
with this patch.  I'm a bit over my head at the moment, but we should
definitely start testing this after the christmas break.  If you have
changes, feel free to send them to the cygwin-patches list and I'll
apply them to the topic branch(*).


Thanks,
Corinna

(*) Note that the topic branch will see a forced push once in a while
    when the branch needs to be rebased to master.  That's why the
    branch is called "topic/...".  Those branches are the only ones
    allowing forced push.

No problem, but that needs some iterations to filter the really interesting
information. Here's a first draft (ohw, a brain dump, sorry) that still is
too long (whoa, did I really examine that much corners?):


== Current situation ==

Cygwin's fork() implementation uses CreateProcess and LoadLibrary to load
binary files (the main-executable and the dlls) into the child process.

For a reliable POSIX-ly fork implementation, any binary file loaded into the
child process needs to be the very same file as loaded in the parent process.

Since Cygwin lacks a runtime loader, the dll search path for linked dlls boils
down to something like: <current dir>, <dir of executable>, <PATH env-var>.

Unfortunately, CreateProcess and LoadLibrary may encounter different (or missing)
binary files (compared to what is loaded into the parent process) in cases like:
 * The parent process may have changed the <current dir>.
 * The parent process may have changed the <PATH env-var>.
 * A dll with the same basename may appear earlier in the dll search path.
 * A binary file might have been removed (moved to trash actually).
 * When moved to trash, the original binary file name may be different file.


== The "forkables" topic ==

As these really are corner cases: Until a different (or missing) binary file is
detected while loading (or creating) the child process, fork is attempted using
both the original executable location and the original dll search path.

But instead of failing, for the corner cases the "forkables" topic tries to
perform beforehand (in the parent process):
 * Once for any loaded binary file, query the NTFS-IndexNumber using its _current_
   location.
 * Create a temporary application directory, containing:
   + (hardlinks to) the "main.exe" and all the linked dlls,
   + an empty "main.exe.local" file to enable "DotLocal Dll Redirection".
 * Create a temporary subdirectory for each directory a dll was dynamically
   loaded from, containing (hardlinks to) the dlls dynamically loaded from
   that original directory.
 * Retry fork with binary file names from that temporary directories (while
   retaining the original binary file basenames).


== Implementation details ==

With multiprocessing there's a number of combined challenges to take care of:
 * Processes fork concurrently.
 * Processes use same main-executable files of different name (eg. ash->dash).
 * Processes dynamically load additional dlls between fork calls.
 * Processes unload dynamically loaded dlls between fork calls.
 * Processes use same binary file names, but of different age.
 * All of them apply to (forked!) child processes as well.
 * Ensure temporary directories are cleaned up.

To solve these challenges, the forkables implementation is based on these ideas:
 * Always create directories, hardlinks and the .local file, but never fail or
   overwrite an existing item - it really is there for the requested purpose
   already, just created (and in-use right now) by another (similar) process.
 * Multiple main-executable (and .local) file names are fine within one
   temporary application directory - one executable ignores the other.
 * The temporary application directories are created per user SID.
 * The temporary application directory name is formed using the main-
   executable's NTFS-IndexNumber and the most recent time stamp (LastWriteTime)
   of binary files currently loaded in the forking process.

<damn-wrong reason="original directory may not exist any more">
 * The temporary subdirectory name for a dynamically loaded dll is formed
   using the original directory's NTFS-IndexNumber.
</damn-wrong>


-- Synchronization --

To synchronize cleanup, the states of a mutex named along the temporary 
application directory name are used to indicate the directory's state:
 (Locked): do not use for forking.
 (Unlocked): can be used (to create items) for forking.
 (Absent): not in use, ready do clean up.

The available mutex' state transitions are used as:


- At process exit

(Locked -> Absent)
 * Before closing the current process' mutex handle, it is locked with almost no
   timeout. It turned out that closing a _locked_ mutex' handle is promoted more
   synchronously to other processes than closing an unlocked mutex' handle when
   it was the mutex' last handle causing the mutex to be destroyed.

(Absent -> Locked)
 * For temporary application directories found on the file system, the according
   mutex name is tried to "Create-With-Lock".
 * If successful, this one directory is cleaned up while holding the lock.
 * Finally the mutex handle is closed, resulting in either Unlocked or Absent.


- When preparing to fork

(Unlocked -> Locked)
 * Upon first forkables creation in a process, the mutex handle is opened and
   locked with infinite timeout, to wait for any process that might be cleaning
   up the temporary application directory right now.
 * Immediately unlocked once locking succeeded.
 * Both parent and child process keep the mutex handle (inherited by child)
   open until they exit - see above.
