[PATCH] procfs/dmabuf: Add /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/dmabuf_fds

In order to measure how much memory a process actually consumes, it is
necessary to include the DMA buffer sizes for that process in the memory
accounting. Since the handle to DMA buffers are raw FDs, it is important
to be able to identify which processes have FD references to a DMA buffer.
Currently, DMA buffer FDs can be accounted using /proc/<pid>/fd/* and
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo -- both of which are only root readable, as follows:
1. Do a readlink on each FD.
2. If the target path begins with "/dmabuf", then the FD is a dmabuf FD.
3. stat the file to get the dmabuf inode number.
4. Read/ proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, to get the DMA buffer size.
Android captures per-process system memory state when certain low memory
events (e.g a foreground app kill) occur, to identify potential memory
hoggers. To include a process’s dmabuf usage as part of its memory state,
the data collection needs to be fast enough to reflect the memory state at
the time of such events.
Since reading /proc/<pid>/fd/ and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/ requires root
privileges, this approach is not suitable for production builds. Granting
root privileges even to a system process increases the attack surface and
is highly undesirable. Additionally this is slow as it requires many
context switches for searching and getting the dma-buf info.
With the addition of per-buffer dmabuf stats in sysfs [1], the DMA buffer
details can be queried using their unique inode numbers.
This patch proposes adding a /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/dmabuf_fds interface.
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/dmabuf_fds contains a list of inode numbers for
every DMA buffer FD that the task has. Entries with the same inode
number can appear more than once, indicating the total FD references
for the associated DMA buffer.
If a thread shares the same files as the group leader then its
dmabuf_fds file will be empty, as these dmabufs are reported by the
group leader.
The interface requires PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED (same as /proc/<pid>/maps)
and allows the efficient accounting of per-process DMA buffer usage without
requiring root privileges. (See data below)
Performance Comparison:
-----------------------
The following data compares the time to capture the sizes of all DMA
buffers referenced by FDs for all processes on an arm64 android device.
-------------------------------------------------------
| Core 0 (Little) | Core 7 (Big) |
-------------------------------------------------------
>From <pid>/fdinfo | 318 ms | 145 ms |
-------------------------------------------------------
Inodes from | 114 ms | 27 ms |
dmabuf_fds; | (2.8x ^) | (5.4x ^) |
data from sysfs | | |
-------------------------------------------------------
It can be inferred that in the worst case there is a 2.8x speedup for
determining per-process DMA buffer FD sizes, when using the proposed
interfaces.

+This file exposes a list of the inode numbers for every DMA buffer
+FD that the task has.
+
+The same inode number can appear more than once, indicating the total
+FD references for the associated DMA buffer.
+
+The inode number can be used to lookup the DMA buffer information in
+the sysfs interface /sys/kernel/dmabuf/buffers/<inode-no>/.

+
+Permission to access this file is governed by a ptrace access mode
+PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS.
+
+Threads can have different files when created without specifying
+the CLONE_FILES flag. For this reason the interface is presented as
+/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/dmabuf_fds and not /proc/<pid>/dmabuf_fds.
+This simplifies kernel code and aggregation can be handled in
+userspace.
+
+If a thread has the same files as its group leader, then its dmabuf_fds
+file will be empty as these dmabufs are already reported by the
+group leader.
