The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing.  However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.

No emulation is provided.  Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

This should have a NEWS entry.  (I have not otherwise reviewed the patch, 
but support the general principle of adding bindings for non-obsolete 
syscalls, including as Linux-specific APIs if we don't think they are 
appropriate for the OS-independent GNU API with a generic ENOSYS version.)

Thanks.  I added this to my local copy:

* glibc now provides the <sys/memfd.h> header file and the memfd_create
   system call.

I agree an emulation is not worth the trouble.

I think it is better to split this test and the xreadlink 
addition on another patch.

I am not very found this way to handle unknown buffer size 
requirements, but the other possible option I can think of
(lstat plus realloc) is not really different.

Ok.

I am not following why adding this extra logic and the one which
checks SYS_memfd_create.  If __NR_memfd_create is not defined by
kernel headers a stub which returns ENOSYS will be created.  Why
not just bail out with EXIT_UNSUPPORTED if errno is ENOSYS on
first call? Is there any expectation that memfd_create won't
return ENOSYS with different flags?

Then applications will not be able to use this header.

If that's not acceptable, we should probably not add <sys/memfd.h> at
all, but replicate the UAPI constants in <sys/mman.h>.

I see that this also affects the test.  So we probably should go the
<sys/mman.h> route.

I wanted to test that the results are consistent independent of the
flags.  Doesn't this make sense?

I had already taken care of that, I forgot.  Anyway, the attached patch 
has the <sys/mman.h> variant of the system call wrapper.

Thanks,
Florian
The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing.  However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.

No emulation is provided.  Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

Sure and the api is somewhat bogus given this nonesensical "name" argument in
there but it actually has a lot more use-cases for userspace.

For example, systemd and lxc both carry their own memfd_create() definitions
including the appropriate syscall number and option numbers. A concrete use-case
is e.g. using mmap() + memfd_create() to create an efficient (Linux specific)
in-memory ringbuffer ( https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/master/src/lxc/ringbuf.c
). In general, both have valid use cases to only have an in-memory file that
can't be covered by mmap() alone. So this is really good to finally have!

We currently do not document MAP_HUGETLB, which is closely related and 
not really simple to describe.  The manual page and kernel documentation 
do not cover it in detail, either.  The page size selection in 
particular is missing, and I would have to research how an application 
can discover supported hugepage sizes.

In short, this is not exactly a trivial request, and I would kindly ask 
you to reconsider.

Thanks,
Florian

Maybe say the new flag should at least be added to the header (unless 
automatically visible via an include of a <linux/*.h> UAPI header), absent 
a reason not to do so, but given the difficulties of doing so we might for 
now not document it (generically, for new constants from new Linux kernel 
releases, as opposed to new functions, that's been the practice for a long 
time).

Would it be okay to pretend that the hugepage size selection mechanism 
doesn't exist?

We haven't added that yet for SHM_HUGETLB, either.

Thanks,

Sounds reasonable to me as well.

Here's the updated patch, referring back to the MAP_HUGETLB 
documentation I added.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] Linux: Add memfd_create system call wrapper
To: libc-alpha@sourceware.org

The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing.  However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.

No emulation is provided.  Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

Well, that is exactly what I want to convey: The name is unused and just 
shows up in /proc in a few places.  I want to make sure that there is no 
expectation that you get same underlying file if you specify the same name.

Good idea.

I've been using @math for constants.  I like it for these small decimal 
constants because the typewriter font stands out some much.

New patch attached.  I think I have addressed all concerns raised 
regarding the documentation.  Is there anything left to do for the 
implementation?

Thanks,
Florian
Subject: [PATCH] Linux: Add memfd_create system call wrapper
To: libc-alpha@sourceware.org

The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing.  However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.

No emulation is provided.  Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

+used to create memory mappings using the @code{mmap} function.  It is
+similar to the @code{shm_open} function in the sense that these mappings
+are not backed by actual files.  However, the descriptor returned by
+@code{memfd_create} does not correspond to a named object; the
+@var{name} argument is used for informative purposes only.  The
+descriptor can be passed between processes (for example, over local
+domain sockets), and mappings at the same offset refer to the same
+memor.  The descriptor can also be used to create alias mappings within
+the same process.
+
+The descriptor initially refers to a zero-length file.  Before mappings
+can be created which are backed by memory, the file size needs to be
+increased with the @code{ftruncate} function.  @xref{File Size}.
+
+The @var{flags} argument can be a combination of the following flags:
+
+@vtable @code
+@item MFD_CLOEXEC
+@standards{Linux, sys/mman.h}
+The descriptor is created with the @code{O_CLOEXEC} flag.
+
+@item MFD_ALLOW_SEALING
+@standards{Linux, sys/mman.h}
+The descriptor supports the addition of seals using the @code{fcntl}
+function.
+
+@item MFD_HUGETLB
+@standards{Linux, sys/mman.h}
+This requests that mappings created using the returned file descriptor
+use a larger page size.  See @code{MAP_HUGETLB} above for details.
+
+This flag is incompatible with @code{MFD_ALLOW_SEALING}.
+@end vtable
+
+@code{memfd_create} returns a file descriptor on success, and @math{-1}
+on failure.
+
+The following @code{errno} error conditions are defined for this
+function:
+
+@table @code
+@item EINVAL
+An invalid combination is specified in @var{flags}, or @var{name} is
+too long.
+
+@item EFAULT
+The @var{name} argument does not point to a string.
+
+@item EMFILE
+The operation would exceed the file descriptor limit for this process.
+
+@item ENFILE
+The operation would exceed the system-wide file descriptor limit.
+
+@item ENOMEM
+There is not enough memory for the operation.
+@end table
+@end deftypefun

Why not say that explicitly?  Suggestion:

"However, the descriptor returned by @code{memfd_create} does not
correspond to a named object; the @var{name} argument is used for
debugging purposes only (e.g., will appear in @file{/proc}), and
separate invocations of @code{memfd_create} with the same @var{name}
will not return descriptors for the same region of memory."

This breaks the testsuite build for hppa, which does not use mman-linux.h

(With non-mainline GCC the build failure still appears, it's just not so 
visible as a regression because previously the testsuite build would 
complete but with test failures.)

I have more declarations and definitions to add which are not 
arch-specific at all, so I'll prepare a patch which adds another header 
which contributes to <sys/mman.h>.

Thanks,

+@deftypefn Function int memfd_create (const char *@var{name}, unsigned int flags)
+@standards{Linux, sys/memfd.h}
+
+The @code{memfd_create} function returns a file descriptor which can be
+used to create memory mappings using the @code{mmap} function.  It is
+similar to the @code{shm_open} function in the sense that these mappings
+are not backed by actual files.  However, the descriptor return by
+@code{memfd_create} does not correspond to a named object; the
+@var{name} argument is used for informative purposes only.  The
+descriptor can be passed between processes (for example, over local
+domain sockets), and mappings at the same offset refer to the same
+memory, or the descriptor can be used to create alias mappings within
+the same process.
+
+The descriptor initially refers to a zero-length file.  Before mappings
+can be created which are backed by memory, the file size needs to be
+increased with the @code{ftruncate} function.  @xref{File Size}.
+
+The @var{flags} argument can be a combination of the following flags:
+
+@table @code
+@item MFD_CLOEXEC
+The descriptor is created with the @code{O_CLOEXEC} flag.
+
+@item MFD_ALLOW_SEALING
+The descriptor supports the addition of seals using the @code{fcntl}
+function.
+@end table
