git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Currently overlayfs uses the mounter's credentials for its override_creds() calls. That provides a consistent permission model. This patches allows a caller to instruct overlayfs to use its credentials instead. The caller must be located in the same user namespace hierarchy as the user namespace the overlayfs instance will be mounted in. This provides a consistent and simple security model. With this it is possible to e.g., mount an overlayfs instance where the mounter must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN but the credentials used for override_creds() have dropped CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It also allows the usage of custom fs{g,u}id different from the callers and other tweaks" * tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.overlayfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests/ovl: add third selftest for "override_creds" selftests/ovl: add second selftest for "override_creds" selftests/filesystems: add utils.{c,h} selftests/ovl: add first selftest for "override_creds" ovl: allow to specify override credentials

2025-03-24Merge tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.pidfs' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs pidfs updates from Christian Brauner: - Allow retrieving exit information after a process has been reaped through pidfds via the new PIDFD_INTO_EXIT extension for the PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl. Various tools need access to information about a process/task even after it has already been reaped. Pidfd polling allows waiting on either task exit or for a task to have been reaped. The contract for PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is simply that EPOLLHUP must be observed before exit information can be retrieved, i.e., exit information is only provided once the task has been reaped and then can be retrieved as long as the pidfd is open. - Add PIDFD_SELF_{THREAD,THREAD_GROUP} sentinels allowing userspace to forgo allocating a file descriptor for their own process. This is useful in scenarios where users want to act on their own process through pidfds and is akin to AT_FDCWD. - Improve premature thread-group leader and subthread exec behavior when polling on pidfds: (1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs. (2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group have exited. Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD. Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. The correct behavior is to simply not generate an exit notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive. But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point. After this pull no exit notifications will be generated for a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have been reaped. If a subthread should exec before no exit notification will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and repeates the cycle. This means an exit notification indicates the ability for the father to reap the child. * tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (25 commits) selftests/pidfd: third test for multi-threaded exec polling selftests/pidfd: second test for multi-threaded exec polling selftests/pidfd: first test for multi-threaded exec polling pidfs: improve multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit polling pidfs: ensure that PIDFS_INFO_EXIT is available selftests/pidfd: add seventh PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add sixth PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add fifth PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add fourth PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add third PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add second PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: add first PIDFD_INFO_EXIT selftest selftests/pidfd: expand common pidfd header pidfs/selftests: ensure correct headers for ioctl handling selftests/pidfd: fix header inclusion pidfs: allow to retrieve exit information pidfs: record exit code and cgroupid at exit pidfs: use private inode slab cache pidfs: move setting flags into pidfs_alloc_file() pidfd: rely on automatic cleanup in __pidfd_prepare() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: - Mount notifications The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with fanotify to listen for mount topology changes. Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are generated. The generated notification record contains the unique mount id of the mount. The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed information about the mount using the received unique mount id. This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo in userspace. - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount api - Support detached mounts in overlayfs Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means userspace cannot user file descriptors received via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first. This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount(). Allow them to directly use detached mounts. - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which allows to read the idmapping from the mount. - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any way. The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation for userspace. - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved through statmount(). - Allow superblock owners to force unmount * tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (21 commits) umount: Allow superblock owners to force umount selftests: add tests for mount notification selinux: add FILE__WATCH_MOUNTNS samples/vfs: fix printf format string for size_t fs: allow changing idmappings fs: add kflags member to struct mount_kattr fs: add open_tree_attr() fs: add copy_mount_setattr() helper fs: add vfs_open_tree() helper statmount: add a new supported_mask field samples/vfs: add STATMOUNT_MNT_{G,U}IDMAP selftests: add tests for using detached mount with overlayfs samples/vfs: check whether flag was raised statmount: allow to retrieve idmappings uidgid: add map_id_range_up() fs: allow detached mounts in clone_private_mount() selftests/overlayfs: test specifying layers as O_PATH file descriptors fs: support O_PATH fds with FSCONFIG_SET_FD vfs: add notifications for mount attach and detach fanotify: notify on mount attach and detach ...

2025-03-22keys: Fix UAF in key_put()David Howells
Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch the key after that point. The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable. However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden. Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector.

2025-03-22perf/amd/ibs: Prevent leaking sensitive data to userspaceNamhyung Kim
Although IBS "swfilt" can prevent leaking samples with kernel RIP to the userspace, there are few subtle cases where a 'data' address and/or a 'branch target' address can fall under kernel address range although RIP is from userspace. Prevent leaking kernel 'data' addresses by discarding such samples when {exclude_kernel=1,swfilt=1}. IBS can now be invoked by unprivileged user with the introduction of "swfilt". However, this creates a loophole in the interface where an unprivileged user can get physical address of the userspace virtual addresses through IBS register raw dump (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). Prevent this as well. This upstream commit fixed the most obvious leak: 65a99264f5e5 perf/x86: Check data address for IBS software filter Follow that up with a more complete fix.

2025-03-20Merge patch series "pidfs: handle multi-threaded exec and premature ↵Christian Brauner
thread-group leader exit" Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: This is another attempt at trying to make pidfd polling for multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent. A quick recap of these two cases: (1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs. (2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group have exited. Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD. Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive. But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point. This tiny series tries to address this problem. If that works correctly then no exit notifications are generated for a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have been reaped. If a subthread should exec before no exit notification will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and repeates the cycle. * patches from https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250320-work-pidfs-thread_group-v4-0-da678ce805bf@kernel.org: selftests/pidfd: third test for multi-threaded exec polling selftests/pidfd: second test for multi-threaded exec polling selftests/pidfd: first test for multi-threaded exec polling pidfs: improve multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit polling Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250320-work-pidfs-thread_group-v4-0-da678ce805bf@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
