2019-02-01kernel/exit.c: release ptraced tasks before zap_pid_ns_processesAndrei Vagin
Currently, exit_ptrace() adds all ptraced tasks in a dead list, then zap_pid_ns_processes() waits on all tasks in a current pidns, and only then are tasks from the dead list released. zap_pid_ns_processes() can get stuck on waiting tasks from the dead list. In this case, we will have one unkillable process with one or more dead children. Thanks to Oleg for the advice to release tasks in find_child_reaper().

2019-01-31cgroup/pids: turn cgroup_subsys->free() into cgroup_subsys->release() to fix ↵Oleg Nesterov
the accounting The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid. However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this is too late. Even the trivial program which does for (;;) { int pid = fork(); assert(pid >= 0); if (pid) wait(NULL); else exit(0); } can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct) implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put(). Test-case: mkdir -p /tmp/CG mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir /tmp/CG/PID echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' & echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration. Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually frees the pid(s). Reported-by: Herton R.

2019-01-21sched/wait: Fix rcuwait_wake_up() orderingPrateek Sood
For some peculiar reason rcuwait_wake_up() has the right barrier in the comment, but not in the code. This mistake has been observed to cause a deadlock in the following situation: P1 P2 percpu_up_read() percpu_down_write() rcu_sync_is_idle() // false rcu_sync_enter() ... __percpu_up_read() [S] ,- __this_cpu_dec(*sem->read_count) | smp_rmb(); [L] | task = rcu_dereference(w->task) // NULL | | [S] w->task = current | smp_mb(); | [L] readers_active_check() // fail `-> <store happens here> Where the smp_rmb() (obviously) fails to constrain the store.

2019-01-11umh: add exit routine for UMH processTaehee Yoo
A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is terminated. But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is terminated or not. But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex. The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes. The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info. Hence umh_info->cleanup callback should release both members of the umh_info and the private data. Suggested-by: David S.

2019-01-04make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'Linus Torvalds
Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok() separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the direct (optimized) user access. But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok() at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or similar. Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has actually been range-checked. If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin(). But nothing really forces the range check. By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible near the actual accesses. We have way too long a history of people trying to avoid them. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2019-01-03Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-07-21signal: Pass pid type into group_send_sig_infoEric W. Biederman

2018-07-21pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGIDEric W. Biederman
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2018-04-02kernel: use kernel_wait4() instead of sys_wait4()Dominik Brodowski
All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use kernel_wait4() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2017-12-14arch: define weak abort()Sudip Mukherjee
gcc toggle -fisolate-erroneous-paths-dereference (default at -O2 onwards) isolates faulty code paths such as null pointer access, divide by zero etc. If gcc port doesnt implement __builtin_trap, an abort() is generated which causes kernel link error. In this case, gcc is generating abort due to 'divide by zero' in lib/mpi/mpih-div.c. Currently 'frv' and 'arc' are failing. Previously other arch was also broken like m32r was fixed by commit d22e3d69ee1a ("m32r: fix build failure"). Let's define this weak function which is common for all arch and fix the problem permanently. We can even remove the arch specific 'abort' after this is done.

2017-10-25locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns ↵Mark Rutland
to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

I delayed it so that a minor conflict resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next before I sent this pull request. This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to generalize this and encode some of the namespace information information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy more expensive. Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from complaining about unitialized variables.

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics, and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock pair. This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in do_exit() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().

2017-08-10locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' featureByungchul Park
Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet. That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems. However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease' implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

2017-07-24signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magicEric W. Biederman
struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values: __SI_KILL __SI_TIMER __SI_POLL __SI_FAULT __SI_CHLD __SI_RT __SI_MESGQ __SI_SYS While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has not worked well. - Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly unless they have these magic high bits set. - Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd unless they have these magic high bits set. - These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo - It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the the kernel to misbehave. - Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values in userspace in kernel self tests. - Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated. - The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user. As si_code must be massaged before being passed to userspace. So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler and more maintainable. To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and computes which union member of siginfo is being used. Have siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union members. A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in siginfo_layout than I would like. The good news is only problem architectures pay the cost. Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those values. Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in the future the lack will show up at compile time. Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy the value and not cast si_code to a short first. The high bits are no longer used to hold a magic union member. Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly update the number of si_codes for each signal type. The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the interesting property that several of them perviously should never have worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal. With that dependency gone those implementations should work much better. The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without changes. Ref: 2.4.0-test1 Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2017-03-09userfaultfd: non-cooperative: rollback userfaultfd_exitAndrea Arcangeli
Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge window". Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing more testing. I've been doing testing before and this was also tested by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never reproduced before. I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result. I dropped it because of implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough already. Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the event_wait_completion in D state. So then I added the second patch to be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state. The same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's run under WARN_ON_ONCE. While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before list_add(fcs). This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new. The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y. Very hard to reproduce though and probably impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled. This patch (of 3): I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 18421 Comm: userfaultfd Tainted: G ------------ T 3.10.0+ #15 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.10.1-0-g8891697-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 task: ffff8801f83b9440 ti: ffff8801f833c000 task.ti: ffff8801f833c000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81451299>] [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP: 0018:ffff8801f833fe80 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: ffff8801f833ffd8 RBX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RCX: ffff8801f83b9440 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8800baf18600 RBP: ffff8801f833fee8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff8127ceb3 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff8800baf186b0 R14: ffff8801f83b99f8 R15: 00007faed746c700 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88023fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007faf0966f028 CR3: 0000000001bc6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: do_exit+0x297/0xd10 SyS_exit+0x17/0x20 tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 Code: 00 00 66 66 66 66 90 55 48 89 e5 41 54 53 48 83 ec 58 48 8b 1f 48 85 db 75 11 eb 73 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 5b 10 48 85 db 74 64 <4c> 8b a3 b8 00 00 00 4d 85 e4 74 eb 41 f6 84 24 2c 01 00 00 80 RIP [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP <ffff8801f833fe80> ---[ end trace 9fecd6dcb442846a ]--- In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully consistent and it is null terminated list as expected. So this has to be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the vma list was being modified by another CPU. When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..). The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it has to wait the even to be received by the manager). So this is an use after free that was happening for all processes. One more implementation problem aside from the race condition: userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks. One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager doesn't read the event. The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer: if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) { [..] } else { return -ENOSPC; } It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

2017-02-23Merge branch 'for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "There is a lot here. A lot of these changes result in subtle user visible differences in kernel behavior. I don't expect anything will care but I will revert/fix things immediately if any regressions show up. From Seth Forshee there is a continuation of the work to make the vfs ready for unpriviled mounts. We had thought the previous changes prevented the creation of files outside of s_user_ns of a filesystem, but it turns we missed the O_CREAT path. Ooops. Pavel Tikhomirov and Oleg Nesterov worked together to fix a long standing bug in the implemenation of PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER where only children that are forked after the prctl are considered and not children forked before the prctl. The only known user of this prctl systemd forks all children after the prctl. So no userspace regressions will occur. Holding earlier forked children to the same rules as later forked children creates a semantic that is sane enough to allow checkpoing of processes that use this feature. There is a long delayed change by Nikolay Borisov to limit inotify instances inside a user namespace. Michael Kerrisk extends the API for files used to maniuplate namespaces with two new trivial ioctls to allow discovery of the hierachy and properties of namespaces. Konstantin Khlebnikov with the help of Al Viro adds code that when a network namespace exits purges it's sysctl entries from the dcache. As in some circumstances this could use a lot of memory. Vivek Goyal fixed a bug with stacked filesystems where the permissions on the wrong inode were being checked. I continue previous work on ptracing across exec. Allowing a file to be setuid across exec while being ptraced if the tracer has enough credentials in the user namespace, and if the process has CAP_SETUID in it's own namespace. Proc files for setuid or otherwise undumpable executables are now owned by the root in the user namespace of their mm. Allowing debugging of setuid applications in containers to work better. A bug I introduced with permission checking and automount is now fixed. The big change is to mark the mounts that the kernel initiates as a result of an automount. This allows the permission checks in sget to be safely suppressed for this kind of mount. As the permission check happened when the original filesystem was mounted. Finally a special case in the mount namespace is removed preventing unbounded chains in the mount hash table, and making the semantics simpler which benefits CRIU. The vfs fix along with related work in ima and evm I believe makes us ready to finish developing and merge fully unprivileged mounts of the fuse filesystem. The cleanups of the mount namespace makes discussing how to fix the worst case complexity of umount. The stacked filesystem fixes pave the way for adding multiple mappings for the filesystem uids so that efficient and safer containers can be implemented" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc/sysctl: Don't grab i_lock under sysctl_lock. vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid() proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts. prctl: propagate has_child_subreaper flag to every descendant introduce the walk_process_tree() helper nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a userns fs: Better permission checking for submounts exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction vfs: open() with O_CREAT should not create inodes with unknown ids nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace type proc: Better ownership of files for non-dumpable tasks in user namespaces exec: Remove LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP exec: Test the ptracer's saved cred to see if the tracee can gain caps exec: Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits
