[PATCH] selinux:Significant reduce of preempt_disable holds

Wed Jan 17 14:55:51 UTC 2018


From: Peter Enderborg <peter.enderborg at sony.com>

Holding the preempt_disable is very bad for low latency tasks
as audio and therefore we need to break out the rule-set dependent
part from this disable. By using a rwsem instead of rwlock we
have an efficient locking and less preemption interference.

Selinux uses a lot of read_locks. This patch replaces the rwlock
with rwsem/percpu_down_read() that does not hold preempt_disable.

Intel Xeon W3520 2.67 Ghz running FC27 with 4.15.0-rc8git (+measurement)
I get preempt_disable in worst case for 1.2ms in security_compute_av().
With the patch I get 960us as the longest security_compute_av()
without preempt disabeld. It very much noise in the measurement
but it is not likely a degrade.

And the preempt_disable times is also very dependent on the selinux
rule-set.

In security_get_user_sids() we have two nested for-loops and the
inner part calls sittab_context_to_sid() that calls
sidtab_search_context() that has a for loop() over a while() where
the loops is dependent on the rules.

On the test system the average lookup time is 60us and does
not change with the rwsem usage.
