If the cached cqe check passes in io_get_cqe*() it already means that
the cqe we return is valid and non-zero, however the compiler is unable
to optimise null checks like in io_fill_cqe_req().
Do a bit of trickery, return success/fail boolean from io_get_cqe*()
and store cqe in the cqe parameter. That makes it do the right thing,
erasing the check together with the introduced indirection.

If we setup the ring with SQPOLL, then that polling thread has its
own io-wq setup. This means that if the application uses
IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_AFF to set the io-wq affinity, we should not be
setting it for the invoking task, but rather the sqpoll task.
Add an sqpoll helper that parks the thread and updates the affinity,
and use that one if we're using SQPOLL.

Now all callers of io_aux_cqe() set allow_overflow to false, remove the
parameter and not allow overflowing auxilary multishot cqes.
When CQ is full the function callers and all multishot requests in
general are expected to complete the request. That prevents indefinite
in-background grows of the overflow list and let's the userspace to
handle the backlog at its own pace.
Resubmitting a request should also be faster than accounting a bunch of
overflows, so it should be better for perf when it happens, but a well
behaving userspace should be trying to avoid overflows in any case.

The changes from commit 32832a407a ("io_uring: Fix io_uring mmap() by
using architecture-provided get_unmapped_area()") to the parisc
implementation of get_unmapped_area() broke glibc's locale-gen
executable when running on parisc.
This patch reverts those architecture-specific changes, and instead
adjusts in io_uring_mmu_get_unmapped_area() the pgoff offset which is
then given to parisc's get_unmapped_area() function. This is much
cleaner than the previous approach, and we still will get a coherent
addresss.
This patch has no effect on other architectures (SHM_COLOUR is only
defined on parisc), and the liburing testcase stil passes on parisc.

The io_uring testcase is broken on IA-64 since commit d808459b2e
("io_uring: Adjust mapping wrt architecture aliasing requirements").
The reason is, that this commit introduced an own architecture
independend get_unmapped_area() search algorithm which finds on IA-64 a
memory region which is outside of the regular memory region used for
shared userspace mappings and which can't be used on that platform
due to aliasing.
To avoid similar problems on IA-64 and other platforms in the future,
it's better to switch back to the architecture-provided
get_unmapped_area() function and adjust the needed input parameters
before the call. Beside fixing the issue, the function now becomes
easier to understand and maintain.
This patch has been successfully tested with the io_uring testcase on
physical x86-64, ppc64le, IA-64 and PA-RISC machines. On PA-RISC the LTP
mmmap testcases did not report any regressions.

io-wq assumes that an issue is blocking, but it may not be if the
request type has asked for a non-blocking attempt. If we get
-EAGAIN for that case, then we need to treat it as a final result
and not retry or arm poll for it.

The check being unconditional may lead to unwanted denials reported by
LSMs when a process has the capability granted by DAC, but denied by an
LSM. In the case of SELinux such denials are a problem, since they can't
be effectively filtered out via the policy and when not silenced, they
produce noise that may hide a true problem or an attack.
Since not having the capability merely means that the created io_uring
context will be accounted against the current user's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
limit, we can disable auditing of denials for this check by using
ns_capable_noaudit() instead of capable().

I observed poor performance of io_uring compared to synchronous IO. That
turns out to be caused by deeper CPU idle states entered with io_uring,
due to io_uring using plain schedule(), whereas synchronous IO uses
io_schedule().
The losses due to this are substantial. On my cascade lake workstation,
t/io_uring from the fio repository e.g. yields regressions between 20%
and 40% with the following command:
./t/io_uring -r 5 -X0 -d 1 -s 1 -c 1 -p 0 -S$use_sync -R 0 /mnt/t2/fio/write.0.0
This is repeatable with different filesystems, using raw block devices
and using different block devices.
Use io_schedule_prepare() / io_schedule_finish() in
io_cqring_wait_schedule() to address the difference.
After that using io_uring is on par or surpassing synchronous IO (using
registered files etc makes it reliably win, but arguably is a less fair
comparison).
There are other calls to schedule() in io_uring/, but none immediately
jump out to be similarly situated, so I did not touch them. Similarly,
it's possible that mutex_lock_io() should be used, but it's not clear if
there are cases where that matters.

io_uring offloads task_work for cancelation purposes when the task is
exiting. This is conceptually fine, but we should be nicer and actually
wait for that work to complete before returning.
Add an argument to io_fallback_tw() telling it to flush the deferred
work when it's all queued up, and have it flush a ctx behind whenever
the ctx changes.

There is no reason not to use __io_cq_unlock_post_flush for intermediate
aux CQE flushing, all ->task_complete should apply there, i.e. if set it
should be the submitter task. Combine them, get rid of of
__io_cq_unlock_post() and rename the left function.
This place was also taking a couple percents of CPU according to
profiles for max throughput net benchmarks due to multishot recv
flooding it with completions.

Request completion is a very hot path in general, but there are 3 places
that can be doing it: io_free_batch_list(), io_req_complete_post() and
io_free_req_tw().
io_free_req_tw() is used rather marginally and we don't care about it.
Killing it can help to clean up and optimise the left two, do that by
replacing it with io_req_task_complete().
There are two things to consider:
1) io_free_req() is called when all refs are put, so we need to reinit
references. The easiest way to do that is to clear REQ_F_REFCOUNT.
2) We also don't need a cqe from it, so silence it with REQ_F_CQE_SKIP.

WHen the ring exits, cleanup is done and the final cancelation and
waiting on completions is done by io_ring_exit_work. That function is
invoked by kworker, which doesn't take any signals. Because of that, it
doesn't really matter if we wait for completions in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
or TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state. However, it does matter to the hung task
detection checker!
Normally we expect cancelations and completions to happen rather
quickly. Some test cases, however, will exit the ring and park the
owning task stopped (eg via SIGSTOP). If the owning task needs to run
task_work to complete requests, then io_ring_exit_work won't make any
progress until the task is runnable again. Hence io_ring_exit_work can
trigger the hung task detection, which is particularly problematic if
panic-on-hung-task is enabled.
As the ring exit doesn't take signals to begin with, have it wait
interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. io_uring has a separate
stuck-exit warning that triggers independently anyway, so we're not
really missing anything by making this switch.

We use lockless lists for the local and deferred task_work, which means
that when we queue up events for processing, we ultimately process them
in reverse order to how they were received. This usually doesn't matter,
but for some cases, it does seem to make a big difference. Do the right
thing and reverse the list before processing it, so that we know it's
processed in the same order in which it was received.
This makes a rather big difference for some medium load network tests,
where consistency of performance was a bit all over the place. Here's
a case that has 4 connections each doing two sends and receives:
io_uring port=10002: rps:161.13k Bps: 1.45M idle=256ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:107.27k Bps: 0.97M idle=413ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:136.98k Bps: 1.23M idle=321ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:155.58k Bps: 1.40M idle=268ms
and after the change:
io_uring port=10002: rps:205.48k Bps: 1.85M idle=140ms user=40ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:203.57k Bps: 1.83M idle=139ms user=20ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:218.79k Bps: 1.97M idle=106ms user=30ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:217.88k Bps: 1.96M idle=110ms user=20ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:222.31k Bps: 2.00M idle=101ms user=0ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:218.74k Bps: 1.97M idle=102ms user=20ms
io_uring port=10002: rps:208.43k Bps: 1.88M idle=125ms user=40ms
using more of the time to actually process work rather than sitting
idle.
No effects have been observed at the peak end of the spectrum, where
performance is still the same even with deep batch depths (and hence
more items to sort).

With IORING_REGISTER_USE_REGISTERED_RING, an application can register
the ring fd and use it via registered index rather than installed fd.
This allows using a registered ring for everything *except* the initial
mmap.
With IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP, io_uring_setup uses buffers allocated by the
user, rather than requiring a subsequent mmap.
The combination of the two allows a user to operate *entirely* via a
registered ring fd, making it unnecessary to ever install the fd in the
first place. So, add a flag IORING_SETUP_REGISTERED_FD_ONLY to make
io_uring_setup register the fd and return a registered index, without
installing the fd.
This allows an application to avoid touching the fd table at all, and
allows a library to never even momentarily install a file descriptor.
This splits out an io_ring_add_registered_file helper from
io_ring_add_registered_fd, for use by io_uring_setup.
