2020-02-26signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accountingLinus Torvalds
When queueing a signal, we increment both the users count of pending signals (for RLIMIT_SIGPENDING tracking) and we increment the refcount of the user struct itself (because we keep a reference to the user in the signal structure in order to correctly account for it when freeing). That turns out to be fairly expensive, because both of them are atomic updates, and particularly under extreme signal handling pressure on big machines, you can get a lot of cache contention on the user struct. That can then cause horrid cacheline ping-pong when you do these multiple accesses. So change the reference counting to only pin the user for the _first_ pending signal, and to unpin it when the last pending signal is dequeued. That means that when a user sees a lot of concurrent signal queuing - which is the only situation when this matters - the only atomic access needed is generally the 'sigpending' count update. This was noticed because of a particularly odd timing artifact on a dual-socket 96C/192T Cascade Lake platform: when you get into bad contention, on that machine for some reason seems to be much worse when the contention happens in the upper 32-byte half of the cacheline. As a result, the kernel test robot will-it-scale 'signal1' benchmark had an odd performance regression simply due to random alignment of the 'struct user_struct' (and pointed to a completely unrelated and apparently nonsensical commit for the regression). Avoiding the double increments (and decrements on the dequeueing side, of course) makes for much less contention and hugely improved performance on that will-it-scale microbenchmark. Quoting Feng Tang: "It makes a big difference, that the performance score is tripled! bump from original 17000 to 54000. Also the gap between 5.0-rc6 and 5.0-rc6+Jiri's patch is reduced to around 2%" [ The "2% gap" is the odd cacheline placement difference on that platform: under the extreme contention case, the effect of which half of the cacheline was hot was 5%, so with the reduced contention the odd timing artifact is reduced too ] It does help in the non-contended case too, but is not nearly as noticeable.

2019-08-19signal: Allow cifs and drbd to receive their terminating signalsEric W. Biederman
My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd. I had overlooked the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to SIG_IGN. So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals. Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig. As the way force_sig ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal handler to SIG_DFL. Which after the first signal will allow userspace to send signals to these kernel threads. At least for wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong. So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through, but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their thread can receive this signal. Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing else in the system will be affected. This change was partly inspired by similar cifs and drbd patches that added allow_signal.

2019-08-01pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()Christian Brauner
This adds the P_PIDFD type to waitid(). One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible to wait on pidfds. With P_PIDFD added to waitid() the parts of userspace that want to use the pidfd api to exclusively manage processes can do so now. One of the things this will unblock in the future is the ability to make it possible to retrieve the exit status via waitid(P_PIDFD) for non-parent processes if handed a _suitable_ pidfd that has this feature set. This is similar to what you can do on FreeBSD with kqueue(). It might even end up being possible to wait on a process as a non-parent if an appropriate property is enabled on the pidfd. With P_PIDFD no scoping of the process identified by the pidfd is possible, i.e. it explicitly blocks things such as wait4(-1), wait4(0), waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It only allows for semantics equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users that need scoping should rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.

2019-07-16signal: simplify set_user_sigmask/restore_user_sigmaskOleg Nesterov
task->saved_sigmask and ->restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from- syscall paths. This means that set_user_sigmask() can save ->blocked in ->saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that ->blocked was modified. This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

This allows process managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free way. The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e. thread-group) exit. - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created using CLONE_PIDFD. A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service managers such as systemd. Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests. It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see some adoption: - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS kernels [1] - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption. - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too" [1] https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.9+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.14+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.19+backport%22 [2] https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/aab6e3eb73c343231cdde775db938994fc6f2803/src/lxc/start.c#L1753 * tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: tests: add pidfd_open() tests arch: wire-up pidfd_open() pid: add pidfd_open() pidfd: add polling selftests pidfd: add polling support

Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted" argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and update the callers. Eric said: : For clarity. I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to : remove the races in select. It is what linux has always done and we have : applications who care so I agree this fix is needed. : : Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back : (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to : complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using : signalfd. : : Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux : implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.

2019-06-28pidfd: add polling supportJoel Fernandes (Google)
This patch adds polling support to pidfd. Android low memory killer (LMK) needs to know when a process dies once it is sent the kill signal. It does so by checking for the existence of /proc/pid which is both racy and slow. For example, if a PID is reused between when LMK sends a kill signal and checks for existence of the PID, since the wrong PID is now possibly checked for existence. Using the polling support, LMK will be able to get notified when a process exists in race-free and fast way, and allows the LMK to do other things (such as by polling on other fds) while awaiting the process being killed to die. For notification to polling processes, we follow the same existing mechanism in the kernel used when the parent of the task group is to be notified of a child's death (do_notify_parent). This is precisely when the tasks waiting on a poll of pidfd are also awakened in this patch. We have decided to include the waitqueue in struct pid for the following reasons: 1. The wait queue has to survive for the lifetime of the poll. Including it in task_struct would not be option in this case because the task can be reaped and destroyed before the poll returns. 2. By including the struct pid for the waitqueue means that during de_thread(), the new thread group leader automatically gets the new waitqueue/pid even though its task_struct is different. Appropriate test cases are added in the second patch to provide coverage of all the cases the patch is handling.

2019-05-29signal: Move the computation of force into send_signal and correct it.Eric W. Biederman
Forcing a signal or not allowing a pid namespace init to ignore SIGKILL or SIGSTOP is more cleanly computed in send_signal. There are two cases where we don't allow a pid namespace init to ignore SIGKILL or SIGSTOP. If the sending process is from an ancestor pid namespace and as such is effectively the god to the target process, and if the it is the kernel that is sending the signal, not another application. It is known that a process is from an ancestor pid namespace if it can see it's target but it's target does not have a pid for the sender in it's pid namespace. It is know that a signal is sent from the kernel if si_code is set to SI_KERNEL or info is SEND_SIG_PRIV (which ultimately generates a signal with si_code == SI_KERNEL). The only signals that matter are SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither of which can really be caught, and both of which always have a siginfo layout that includes si_uid and si_pid. Therefore we never need to worry about forcing a signal when si_pid and si_uid are absent. So handle the two special cases of info and the case when si_pid and si_uid are present.

2019-05-29signal: Use force_sig_fault_to_task for the two calls that don't deliver to ↵Eric W. Biederman
current In preparation for removing the task parameter from force_sig_fault introduce force_sig_fault_to_task and use it for the two cases where it matters. On mips force_fcr31_sig calls force_sig_fault and is called on either the current task, or a task that is suspended and is being switched to by the scheduler. This is safe because the task being switched to by the scheduler is guaranteed to be suspended. This ensures that task->sighand is stable while the signal is delivered to it. On parisc user_enable_single_step calls force_sig_fault and is in turn called by ptrace_request. The function ptrace_request always calls user_enable_single_step on a child that is stopped for tracing. The child being traced and not reaped ensures that child->sighand is not NULL, and that the child will not change child->sighand. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2019-05-22signal: Correct namespace fixups of si_pid and si_uidEric W. Biederman
The function send_signal was split from __send_signal so that it would be possible to bypass the namespace logic based upon current[1]. As it turns out the si_pid and the si_uid fixup are both inappropriate in the case of kill_pid_usb_asyncio so move that logic into send_signal. It is difficult to arrange but possible for a signal with an si_code of SI_TIMER or SI_SIGIO to be sent across namespace boundaries. In which case tests for when it is ok to change si_pid and si_uid based on SI_FROMUSER are incorrect. Replace the use of SI_FROMUSER with a new test has_si_pid_and_used based on siginfo_layout. Now that the uid fixup is no longer present after expanding SEND_SIG_NOINFO properly calculate the si_uid that the target task needs to read.

2019-05-22signal/usb: Replace kill_pid_info_as_cred with kill_pid_usb_asyncioEric W. Biederman
The usb support for asyncio encoded one of it's values in the wrong field. It should have used si_value but instead used si_addr which is not present in the _rt union member of struct siginfo. The practical result of this is that on a 64bit big endian kernel when delivering a signal to a 32bit process the si_addr field is set to NULL, instead of the expected pointer value. This issue can not be fixed in copy_siginfo_to_user32 as the usb usage of the the _sigfault (aka si_addr) member of the siginfo union when SI_ASYNCIO is set is incompatible with the POSIX and glibc usage of the _rt member of the siginfo union. Therefore replace kill_pid_info_as_cred with kill_pid_usb_asyncio a dedicated function for this one specific case. There are no other users of kill_pid_info_as_cred so this specialization should have no impact on the amount of code in the kernel. Have kill_pid_usb_asyncio take instead of a siginfo_t which is difficult and error prone, 3 arguments, a signal number, an errno value, and an address enconded as a sigval_t. The encoding of the address as a sigval_t allows the code that reads the userspace request for a signal to handle this compat issue along with all of the other compat issues. Add BUILD_BUG_ONs in kernel/signal.c to ensure that we can now place the pointer value at the in si_pid (instead of si_addr). That is the code now verifies that si_pid and si_addr always occur at the same location. Further the code veries that for native structures a value placed in si_pid and spilling into si_uid will appear in userspace in si_addr (on a byte by byte copy of siginfo or a field by field copy of siginfo). The code also verifies that for a 64bit kernel and a 32bit userspace the 32bit pointer will fit in si_pid. I have used the usbsig.c program below written by Alan Stern and slightly tweaked by me to run on a big endian machine to verify the issue exists (on sparc64) and to confirm the patch below fixes the issue. /* usbsig.c -- test USB async signal delivery */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <endian.h> #include <linux/usb/ch9.h> #include <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> static struct usbdevfs_urb urb; static struct usbdevfs_disconnectsignal ds; static volatile sig_atomic_t done = 0; void urb_handler(int sig, siginfo_t *info , void *ucontext) { printf("Got signal %d, signo %d errno %d code %d addr: %p urb: %p\n", sig, info->si_signo, info->si_errno, info->si_code, info->si_addr, &urb); printf("%s\n", (info->si_addr == &urb) ?

2019-05-16signal: unconditionally leave the frozen state in ptrace_stop()Roman Gushchin
Alex Xu reported a regression in strace, caused by the introduction of the cgroup v2 freezer. The regression can be reproduced by stracing the following simple program: #include <unistd.h> int main() { write(1, "a", 1); return 0; } An attempt to run strace ./a.out leads to the infinite loop: [ pre-main omitted ] write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) [ repeats forever ] The problem occurs because the traced task leaves ptrace_stop() (and the signal handling loop) with the frozen bit set. So let's call cgroup_leave_frozen(true) unconditionally after sleeping in ptrace_stop().

Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information thus becomes rather trivial. As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd, signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small. The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional. A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d". To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.

2019-05-06cgroup: prevent spurious transition into non-frozen stateRoman Gushchin
If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()), a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen. The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state. To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise. To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path, let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task is going to stay frozen.

2019-04-19cgroup: cgroup v2 freezerRoman Gushchin
Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory) for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality. This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2. Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach. It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup. This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case), it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system. Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads. If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen, but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered. * PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery is blocked in frozen state. There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface design principles: 1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on: the functionality is always available and is represented by cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files. 2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file. Any hierarchical configuration is allowed. 3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no dedicated transitional states. 4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy (create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups) no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

2019-04-18signal: use fdget() since we don't allow O_PATHChristian Brauner
As stated in the original commit for pidfd_send_signal() we don't allow to signal processes through O_PATH file descriptors since it is semantically equivalent to a write on the pidfd. We already correctly error out right now and return EBADF if an O_PATH fd is passed. This is because we use file->f_op to detect whether a pidfd is passed and O_PATH fds have their file->f_op set to empty_fops in do_dentry_open() and thus fail the test. Thus, there is no regression. It's just semantically correct to use fdget() and return an error right from there instead of taking a reference and returning an error later.

2019-04-01signal: don't silently convert SI_USER signals to non-current pidfdJann Horn
The current sys_pidfd_send_signal() silently turns signals with explicit SI_USER context that are sent to non-current tasks into signals with kernel-generated siginfo. This is unlike do_rt_sigqueueinfo(), which returns -EPERM in this case. If a user actually wants to send a signal with kernel-provided siginfo, they can do that with pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, sig, NULL, 0); so allowing this case is unnecessary. Instead of silently replacing the siginfo, just bail out with an error; this is consistent with other interfaces and avoids special-casing behavior based on security checks.

One obvious example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of process management - sending signals - to processes other than the parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is quite handy.

2019-03-05signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscallChristian Brauner
The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1]. This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd can be used to send signals to the process it refers to. Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd). /* prototype and argument /* long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags); /* syscall number 424 */ The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]). In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo(). The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall. It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL. /* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */ The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended. /* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */ Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions. In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been requested by Eric (cf. [19]). When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls. How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it. Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as possible (cf. [4]). /* naming */ The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset: - procfd_signal() - procfd_send_signal() - taskfd_send_signal() In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]). Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_" prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding. The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name "pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals. /* zombies */ Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However, this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need ever arises. /* cross-namespace signals */ The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]). /* compat syscalls */ It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls (cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12). With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain any additional callers. /* testing */ This patch was tested on x64 and x86. /* userspace usage */ An asciinema recording for the basic functionality can be found under [9]. With this patch a process can be killed via: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> static inline int do_pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags) { #ifdef __NR_pidfd_send_signal return syscall(__NR_pidfd_send_signal, pidfd, sig, info, flags); #else return -ENOSYS; #endif } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd, ret, saved_errno, sig; if (argc < 3) exit(EXIT_FAILURE); fd = open(argv[1], O_DIRECTORY | O_CLOEXEC); if (fd < 0) { printf("%s - Failed to open \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), argv[1]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } sig = atoi(argv[2]); printf("Sending signal %d to process %s\n", sig, argv[1]); ret = do_pidfd_send_signal(fd, sig, NULL, 0); saved_errno = errno; close(fd); errno = saved_errno; if (ret < 0) { printf("%s - Failed to send signal %d to process %s\n", strerror(errno), sig, argv[1]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /* Q&A * Given that it seems the same questions get asked again by people who are * late to the party it makes sense to add a Q&A section to the commit * message so it's hopefully easier to avoid duplicate threads. * * For the sake of progress please consider these arguments settled unless * there is a new point that desperately needs to be addressed.

A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]). Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21]) Is the task_struct pinned by the fd? A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]). Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry within it? A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]). Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the pid remain reserved? A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not recycled (cf. [22]). Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21]) Do attempts to signal that fd return errors? A-05: See {Q,A}-01. Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22]) Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps. A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence, there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However, adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a future patchset (cf. [22]). Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such future applications? A-07: Yes (cf. [22]). Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking rather like an ioctl? A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above). The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also [22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here. Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24]) What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor? A-09: pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the open(2) manpage.

2019-02-13signal: Restore the stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXITEric W. Biederman
In the middle of do_exit() there is there is a call "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, code);" That call places the process in TACKED_TRACED aka "(TASK_WAKEKILL | __TASK_TRACED)" and waits for for the debugger to release the task or SIGKILL to be delivered. Skipping past dequeue_signal when we know a fatal signal has already been delivered resulted in SIGKILL remaining pending and TIF_SIGPENDING remaining set. This in turn caused the scheduler to not sleep in PTACE_EVENT_EXIT as it figured a fatal signal was pending. This also caused ptrace_freeze_traced in ptrace_check_attach to fail because it left a per thread SIGKILL pending which is what fatal_signal_pending tests for. This difference in signal state caused strace to report strace: Exit of unknown pid NNNNN ignored Therefore update the signal handling state like dequeue_signal would when removing a per thread SIGKILL, by removing SIGKILL from the per thread signal mask and clearing TIF_SIGPENDING.

2019-02-07signal: Better detection of synchronous signalsEric W. Biederman
Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP, and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying. When the stack overflows delivery of SIGHUP fails and force_sigsegv is called. Unfortunately because SIGSEGV is numerically higher than SIGHUP next_signal tries again to deliver a SIGHUP. From a quality of implementation standpoint attempting to deliver the timer SIGHUP signal is wrong. We should attempt to deliver the synchronous SIGSEGV signal we just forced. We can make that happening in a fairly straight forward manner by instead of just looking at the signal number we also look at the si_code. In particular for exceptions (aka synchronous signals) the si_code is always greater than 0. That still has the potential to pick up a number of asynchronous signals as in a few cases the same si_codes that are used for synchronous signals are also used for asynchronous signals, and SI_KERNEL is also included in the list of possible si_codes. Still the heuristic is much better and timer signals are definitely excluded. Which is enough to prevent all known ways for someone sending a process signals fast enough to cause unexpected and arguably incorrect behavior.

2019-02-07signal: Always notice exiting tasksEric W. Biederman
Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP, and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying. Upon examination it turns out part of the problem is actually most of the solution. Since 2.5 signal delivery has found all fatal signals, marked the signal group for death, and queued SIGKILL in every threads thread queue relying on signal->group_exit_code to preserve the information of which was the actual fatal signal. The conversion of all fatal signals to SIGKILL results in the synchronous signal heuristic in next_signal kicking in and preferring SIGHUP to SIGKILL. Which is especially problematic as all fatal signals have already been transformed into SIGKILL. Instead of dequeueing signals and depending upon SIGKILL to be the first signal dequeued, first test if the signal group has already been marked for death. This guarantees that nothing in the signal queue can prevent a process that needs to exit from exiting.

2019-02-07y2038: syscalls: rename y2038 compat syscallsArnd Bergmann
A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit architectures as well. The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx() to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them on 32-bit architectures. Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the future. In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

2019-02-05signal: Always attempt to allocate siginfo for SIGSTOPEric W. Biederman
Since 2.5.34 the code has had the potential to not allocate siginfo for SIGSTOP signals. Except for ptrace this is perfectly fine as only ptrace can use PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO and see what the contents of the delivered siginfo are. Users of PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO that care about the contents siginfo for SIGSTOP are rare, but they do exist. A seccomp self test has cared and lldb cares. Jack Andersen <jackoalan@gmail.com> writes: > The patch titled > `signal: Never allocate siginfo for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP` > created a regression for users of PTRACE_GETSIGINFO needing to > discern signals that were raised via the tgkill syscall. > > A notable user of this tgkill+ptrace combination is lldb while > debugging a multithreaded program.

Everyone affected by this please note. The kernel can still fail to allocate a siginfo structure. The allocation is with GFP_KERNEL and is best effort only. If memory is tight when the signal allocation comes in this will fail to allocate a siginfo. So I strongly recommend looking at more robust solutions for synchronizing with a single thread such as PTRACE_INTERRUPT. Or if that does not work persuading your friendly local kernel developer to build the interface you need.

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>
2018-12-18y2038: signal: Add compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64Arnd Bergmann
Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid() for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures. The traditional system call keeps getting handled by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout argument type. The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such system calls together at a later point. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
