Currently copy_string_kernel is just a wrapper around copy_strings that
simplifies the calling conventions and uses set_fs to allow passing a
kernel pointer. But due to the fact the we only need to handle a single
kernel argument pointer, the logic can be sigificantly simplified while
getting rid of the set_fs.

Alexey updated proc so each mount of proc uses a new superblock. This
allows people to actually use mount options with proc with no fear of
messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts
of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in
Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security
issues.
The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of

Move the computation of creds from prepare_binfmt into begin_new_exec
so that the creds need only be computed once. This is just code
reorganization no semantic changes of any kind are made.
Moving the computation is safe. I have looked through the kernel and
verified none of the binfmts look at bprm->cred directly, and that
there are no helpers that look at bprm->cred indirectly. Which means
that it is not a problem to compute the bprm->cred later in the
execution flow as it is not used until it becomes current->cred.
A new function bprm_creds_from_file is added to contain the work that
needs to be done. bprm_creds_from_file first computes which file
bprm->executable or most likely bprm->file that the bprm->creds
will be computed from.
The funciton bprm_fill_uid is updated to receive the file instead of
accessing bprm->file. The now unnecessary work needed to reset the
bprm->cred->euid, and bprm->cred->egid is removed from brpm_fill_uid.
A small comment to document that bprm_fill_uid now only deals with the
work to handle suid and sgid files. The default case is already
heandled by prepare_exec_creds.
The function security_bprm_repopulate_creds is renamed
security_bprm_creds_from_file and now is explicitly passed the file
from which to compute the creds. The documentation of the
bprm_creds_from_file security hook is updated to explain when the hook
is called and what it needs to do. The file is passed from
cap_bprm_creds_from_file into get_file_caps so that the caps are
computed for the appropriate file. The now unnecessary work in
cap_bprm_creds_from_file to reset the ambient capabilites has been
removed. A small comment to document that the work of
cap_bprm_creds_from_file is to read capabilities from the files
secureity attribute and derive capabilities from the fact the
user had uid 0 has been added.

There is a small bug in the code that recomputes parts of bprm->cred
for every bprm->file. The code never recomputes the part of
clear_dangerous_personality_flags it is responsible for.
Which means that in practice if someone creates a sgid script
the interpreter will not be able to use any of:
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT
MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
This accentially clearing of personality flags probably does
not matter in practice because no one has complained
but it does make the code more difficult to understand.
Further remaining bug compatible prevents the recomputation from being
removed and replaced by simply computing bprm->cred once from the
final bprm->file.
Making this change removes the last behavior difference between
computing bprm->creds from the final file and recomputing
bprm->cred several times. Which allows this behavior change
to be justified for it's own reasons, and for any but hunts
looking into why the behavior changed to wind up here instead
of in the code that will follow that computes bprm->cred
from the final bprm->file.
This small logic bug appears to have existed since the code
started clearing dangerous personality bits.

Recursion in kernel code is generally a bad idea as it can overflow
the kernel stack. Recursion in exec also hides that the code is
looping and that the loop changes bprm->file.
Instead of recursing in search_binary_handler have the methods that
would recurse set bprm->interpreter and return 0. Modify exec_binprm
to loop when bprm->interpreter is set. Consolidate all of the
reassignments of bprm->file in that loop to make it clear what is
going on.
The structure of the new loop in exec_binprm is that all errors return
immediately, while successful completion (ret == 0 &&
!bprm->interpreter) just breaks out of the loop and runs what
exec_bprm has always run upon successful completion.
Fail if the an interpreter is being call after execfd has been set.
The code has never properly handled an interpreter being called with
execfd being set and with reassignments of bprm->file and the
assignment of bprm->executable in generic code it has finally become
possible to test and fail when if this problematic condition happens.
With the reassignments of bprm->file and the assignment of
bprm->executable moved into the generic code add a test to see if
bprm->executable is being reassigned.
In search_binary_handler remove the test for !bprm->file. With all
reassignments of bprm->file moved to exec_binprm bprm->file can never
be NULL in search_binary_handler.

Most of the support for passing the file descriptor of an executable
to an interpreter already lives in the generic code and in binfmt_elf.
Rework the fields in binfmt_elf that deal with executable file
descriptor passing to make executable file descriptor passing a first
class concept.
Move the fd_install from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec after the new
creds have been installed. This means that accessing the file through
/proc/<pid>/fd/N is able to see the creds for the new executable
before allowing access to the new executables files.
Performing the install of the executables file descriptor after
the point of no return also means that nothing special needs to
be done on error. The exiting of the process will close all
of it's open files.
Move the would_dump from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec right
after would_dump is called on the bprm->file. This makes it
obvious this case exists and that no nesting of bprm->file is
currently supported.
In binfmt_misc the movement of fd_install into generic code means
that it's special error exit path is no longer needed.

I goofed when I added mm->user_ns support to would_dump. I missed the
fact that in the case of binfmt_loader, binfmt_em86, binfmt_misc, and
binfmt_script bprm->file is reassigned. Which made the move of
would_dump from setup_new_exec to __do_execve_file before exec_binprm
incorrect as it can result in would_dump running on the script instead
of the interpreter of the script.
The net result is that the code stopped making unreadable interpreters
undumpable. Which allows them to be ptraced and written to disk
without special permissions. Oops.
The move was necessary because the call in set_new_exec was after
bprm->mm was no longer valid.
To correct this mistake move the misplaced would_dump from
__do_execve_file into flos_old_exec, before exec_mmap is called.

This results in no actual change in behavior as __do_execve_file does

setup_new_exec. With the intention that setup_new_exec be what is
called after the processes new personality is set.
Move the code that doesn't depend upon the personality from
setup_new_exec into flush_old_exec. This is to facilitate future
changes by having as much code together in one function as possible.
To see why it is safe to move this code please note that effectively
this change moves the personality setting in the binfmt and the following
three lines of code after everything except unlocking the mutexes:
arch_pick_mmap_layout
arch_setup_new_exec
mm->task_size = TASK_SIZE
The function arch_pick_mmap_layout at most sets:
mm->get_unmapped_area
mm->mmap_base
mm->mmap_legacy_base
mm->mmap_compat_base
mm->mmap_compat_legacy_base
which nothing in flush_old_exec or setup_new_exec depends on.
The function arch_setup_new_exec only sets architecture specific
state and the rest of the functions only deal in state that applies
to all architectures.
The last line just sets mm->task_size and again nothing in flush_old_exec

When the thread group leader changes during exec and the old leaders
thread is reaped proc_flush_pid will flush the dentries for the entire
process because the leader still has it's original pid.
Fix this by exchanging the pids in an rcu safe manner,
and wrapping the code to do that up in a helper exchange_tids.
When I removed switch_exec_pids and introduced this behavior
in d73d65293e ("[PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pids") there
really was nothing that cared as flushing happened with
the cached dentry and de_thread flushed both of them on exec.
This lack of fully exchanging pids became a problem a few months later
when I introduced 48e6484d49 ("[PATCH] proc: Rewrite the proc dentry
flush on exit optimization"). Which overlooked the de_thread case
was no longer swapping pids, and I was looking up proc dentries
by task->pid.
The current behavior isn't properly a bug as everything in proc will
continue to work correctly just a little bit less efficiently. Fix
this just so there are no little surprise corner cases waiting to bite
people.
-- Oleg points out this could be an issue in next_tgid in proc where

The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible
to wrap the exec_id counter. With care an attacker can cause exec_id
wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent. This
bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their
credentials during exec.
The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing
of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times.
Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit
exec_id. Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7
days. Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server.
Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec
gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump.
Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit
architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can
take two read instructions. Which means that is is possible to hit
a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written
value. So with very lucky timing after this change this still
remains expoiltable.
I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE
and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE
to make it clear that there is no locking between these two
locations.

The cred_guard_mutex is problematic as it is held over possibly
indefinite waits for userspace. The possible indefinite waits for
userspace that I have identified are: The cred_guard_mutex is held in
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT waiting for the tracer. The cred_guard_mutex is
held over "put_user(0, tsk->clear_child_tid)" in exit_mm(). The
cred_guard_mutex is held over "get_user(futex_offset, ...") in
exit_robust_list. The cred_guard_mutex held over copy_strings.
The functions get_user and put_user can trigger a page fault which can
potentially wait indefinitely in the case of userfaultfd or if
userspace implements part of the page fault path.
In any of those cases the userspace process that the kernel is waiting
for might make a different system call that winds up taking the
cred_guard_mutex and result in deadlock.
Holding a mutex over any of those possibly indefinite waits for
userspace does not appear necessary. Add exec_update_mutex that will
just cover updating the process during exec where the permissions and
the objects pointed to by the task struct may be out of sync.
The plan is to switch the users of cred_guard_mutex to
exec_update_mutex one by one. This lets us move forward while still
being careful and not introducing any regressions.

I have read through the code in exec_mmap and I do not see anything
that depends on sighand or the sighand lock, or on signals in anyway
so this should be safe.
This rearrangement of code has two significant benefits. It makes
the determination of passing the point of no return by testing bprm->mm
accurate. All failures prior to that point in flush_old_exec are
either truly recoverable or they are fatal.
Further this consolidates all of the possible indefinite waits for
userspace together at the top of flush_old_exec. The possible wait
for a ptracer on PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, the possible wait for a page fault
to be resolved in clear_child_tid, and the possible wait for a page
fault in exit_robust_list.
This consolidation allows the creation of a mutex to replace
cred_guard_mutex that is not held over possible indefinite userspace
waits. Which will allow removing deadlock scenarios from the kernel.

I have an experimental setup where almost every possible system
service (even early startup ones) runs in separate namespace, using a
dedicated, minimal file system. In process of minimizing the contents
of the file systems with regards to modules and firmware files, I
noticed that in my system, the firmware files are loaded from three
different mount namespaces, those of systemd-udevd, init and
systemd-networkd. The logic of the source namespace is not very clear,
it seems to depend on the driver, but the namespace of the current
process is used.
So, this patch tries to make things a bit clearer and changes the
loading of firmware files only from the mount namespace of init. This
may also improve security, though I think that using firmware files as
attack vector could be too impractical anyway.
Later, it might make sense to make the mount namespace configurable,
for example with a new file in /proc/sys/kernel/firmware_config/. That
would allow a dedicated file system only for firmware files and those
need not be present anywhere else. This configurability would make
more sense if made also for kernel modules and /sbin/modprobe. Modules
are already loaded from init namespace (usermodehelper uses kthreadd
namespace) except when directly loaded by systemd-udevd.
Instead of using the mount namespace of the current process to load
firmware files, use the mount namespace of init process.

There were few episodes of silent downgrade to an executable stack over
years:
1) linking innocent looking assembly file will silently add executable
stack if proper linker options is not given as well:
$ cat f.S
.intel_syntax noprefix
.text
.globl f
f:
ret
$ cat main.c
void f(void);
int main(void)
{
f();
return 0;
}
$ gcc main.c f.S
$ readelf -l ./a.out
GNU_STACK 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 RWE 0x10
^^^
2) converting C99 nested function into a closure
https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/11/15/
void intsort2(int *base, size_t nmemb, _Bool invert)
{
int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
int r = *(int *)a - *(int *)b;
return invert ? -r : r;
}
qsort(base, nmemb, sizeof(*base), cmp);
}
will silently require stack trampolines while non-closure version will
not.
Without doubt this behaviour is documented somewhere, add a warning so
that developers and users can at least notice. After so many years of
x86_64 having proper executable stack support it should not cause too
many problems.

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
"This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
changes:
- It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:
- Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
spinlock.
- Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
two.
- A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
indices.
- The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
pipe.
- Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
without having to take the lock twice.
- Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
mutex is still held.
- Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
when we added more.
- Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
removed a buffer"

mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from
do_exit()->exit_mm() and from exec()->exec_mm().
In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the
exec_mm() case these states are not touched.
As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this
needs to be split into two functions.

The membarrier_state field is located within the mm_struct, which
is not guaranteed to exist when used from runqueue-lock-free iteration
on runqueues by the membarrier system call.
Copy the membarrier_state from the mm_struct into the scheduler runqueue
when the scheduler switches between mm.
When registering membarrier for mm, after setting the registration bit
in the mm membarrier state, issue a synchronize_rcu() to ensure the
scheduler observes the change. In order to take care of the case
where a runqueue keeps executing the target mm without swapping to
other mm, iterate over each runqueue and issue an IPI to copy the
membarrier_state from the mm_struct into each runqueue which have the
same mm which state has just been modified.
Move the mm membarrier_state field closer to pgd in mm_struct to use
a cache line already touched by the scheduler switch_mm.
The membarrier_execve() (now membarrier_exec_mmap) hook now needs to
clear the runqueue's membarrier state in addition to clear the mm
membarrier state, so move its implementation into the scheduler
membarrier code so it can access the runqueue structure.
Add memory barrier in membarrier_exec_mmap() prior to clearing
the membarrier state, ensuring memory accesses executed prior to exec
are not reordered with the stores clearing the membarrier state.
As suggested by Linus, move all membarrier.c RCU read-side locks outside
of the for each cpu loops.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.
During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.
Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable sighand_struct.count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
** Important note for maintainers:
Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.
For the sighand_struct.count it might make a difference
in following places:
- __cleanup_sighand: decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

all sub-threads to die, and we have the deadlock if one of them is frozen.
This also can occur with the schedule() waiting for the group thread leader
to exit if it is frozen.
In our machine, it causes freeze timeout as bellows.

On 32-bit systems, the buffer allocated by kernel_read_file() is too
small if the file size is > SIZE_MAX, due to truncation to size_t.
Fortunately, since the 'count' argument to kernel_read() is also
truncated to size_t, only the allocated space is filled; then, -EIO is
returned since 'pos != i_size' after the read loop.
But this is not obvious and seems incidental. We should be more
explicit about this case. So, fail early if i_size > SIZE_MAX.

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.
We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.
Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion:
# new vma:
kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc()
# copy old vma
kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old)
# free vma
kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma)
to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

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.

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace

current CPU number value from user-space.
* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)
Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.
The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.
Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.

* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq
Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):
The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.
* Reading the current CPU number
Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.
Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:
- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.
On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.
Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:
ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns
- getcpu system call: 234.9 ns
x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns
- getcpu system call: 53.9 ns
- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)
Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:
Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.

avg.: 41.37 s
std.dev.: 0.36 s
* CONFIG_RSEQ=y

- Size
On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

Introduce helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};
that GPLed kernel modules (signed or unsigned) can use it to execute part
of its own data as swappable user mode process.
The kernel will do:
- allocate a unique file in tmpfs
- populate that file with [data, data + len] bytes
- user-mode-helper code will do_execve that file and, before the process
starts, the kernel will create two unix pipes for bidirectional
communication between kernel module and umh
- close tmpfs file, effectively deleting it
- the fork_usermode_blob will return zero on success and populate
'struct umh_info' with two unix pipes and the pid of the user process
As the first step in the development of the bpfilter project
the fork_usermode_blob() helper is introduced to allow user mode code
to be invoked from a kernel module. The idea is that user mode code plus
normal kernel module code are built as part of the kernel build
and installed as traditional kernel module into distro specified location,
such that from a distribution point of view, there is
no difference between regular kernel modules and kernel modules + umh code.
Such modules can be signed, modprobed, rmmod, etc. The use of this new helper
by a kernel module doesn't make it any special from kernel and user space
tooling point of view.
Such approach enables kernel to delegate functionality traditionally done
by the kernel modules into the user space processes (either root or !root) and
reduces security attack surface of the new code. The buggy umh code would crash
the user process, but not the kernel. Another advantage is that umh code
of the kernel module can be debugged and tested out of user space
(e.g. opening the possibility to run clang sanitizers, fuzzers or
user space test suites on the umh code).
In case of the bpfilter project such architecture allows complex control plane
to be done in the user space while bpf based data plane stays in the kernel.
Since umh can crash, can be oom-ed by the kernel, killed by the admin,
the kernel module that uses them (like bpfilter) needs to manage life
time of umh on its own via two unix pipes and the pid of umh.
The exit code of such kernel module should kill the umh it started,
so that rmmod of the kernel module will cleanup the corresponding umh.
Just like if the kernel module does kmalloc() it should kfree() it
in the exit code.

Since the stack rlimit is used in multiple places during exec and it can
be changed via other threads (via setrlimit()) or processes (via
prlimit()), the assumption that the value doesn't change cannot be made.
This leads to races with mm layout selection and argument size
calculations. This changes the exec path to use the rlimit stored in
bprm instead of in current. Before starting the thread, the bprm stack
rlimit is stored back to current.

Patch series "exec: Pin stack limit during exec".
Attempts to solve problems with the stack limit changing during exec
continue to be frustrated[1][2]. In addition to the specific issues
around the Stack Clash family of flaws, Andy Lutomirski pointed out[3]
other places during exec where the stack limit is used and is assumed to
be unchanging. Given the many places it gets used and the fact that it
can be manipulated/raced via setrlimit() and prlimit(), I think the only
way to handle this is to move away from the "current" view of the stack
limit and instead attach it to the bprm, and plumb this down into the
functions that need to know the stack limits. This series implements
the approach.
[1] 04e35f4495 ("exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()")
[2] 779f4e1c6c ("Revert "exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()"")
[3] to security@kernel.org, "Subject: existing rlimit races?"
This patch (of 3):
Since it is possible that the stack rlimit can change externally during
exec (either via another thread calling setrlimit() or another process
calling prlimit()), provide a way to pass the rlimit down into the
per-architecture mm layout functions so that the rlimit can stay in the
bprm structure instead of sitting in the signal structure until exec is
finalized.

The LSM check should happen after the file has been confirmed to be
unchanging. Without this, we could have a race between the Time of Check
(the call to security_kernel_read_file() which could read the file and
make access policy decisions) and the Time of Use (starting with
kernel_read_file()'s reading of the file contents). In theory, file
contents could change between the two.

gcc-8 warns about using strncpy() with the source size as the limit:
fs/exec.c:1223:32: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'strncpy' call is the same expression as the source; did you mean to use the size of the destination? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]
This is indeed slightly suspicious, as it protects us from source
arguments without NUL-termination, but does not guarantee that the
destination is terminated.
This keeps the strncpy() to ensure we have properly padded target
buffer, but ensures that we use the correct length, by passing the
actual length of the destination buffer as well as adding a build-time
check to ensure it is exactly TASK_COMM_LEN.
There are only 23 callsites which I all reviewed to ensure this is
currently the case. We could get away with doing only the check or
passing the right length, but it doesn't hurt to do both.

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:

This introduces a "register private expedited" membarrier command which
allows eventual removal of important memory barrier constraints on the
scheduler fast-paths. It changes how the "private expedited" membarrier
command (new to 4.14) is used from user-space.
This new command allows processes to register their intent to use the
private expedited command. This affects how the expedited private
command introduced in 4.14-rc is meant to be used, and should be merged
before 4.14 final.
Processes are now required to register before using
MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM.
This fixes a problem that arose when designing requested extensions to
sys_membarrier() to allow JITs to efficiently flush old code from
instruction caches. Several potential algorithms are much less painful
if the user register intent to use this functionality early on, for
example, before the process spawns the second thread. Registering at
this time removes the need to interrupt each and every thread in that
process at the first expedited sys_membarrier() system call.

While at it, do whitespace/style cleanups.
NOTE: the real motivation for this change is that people want to

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

setup_new_exec(), we can consolidate the logic into a single place.
The BINPRM_FLAGS_ENFORCE_NONDUMP is set during would_dump() calls
before setup_new_exec(), so its test is safe to move as well.

Like dumpability, clearing pdeath_signal happens both in setup_new_exec()
and later in commit_creds(). The test in setup_new_exec() is different
from all other privilege comparisons, though: it is checking the new cred
(bprm) uid vs the old cred (current) euid. This appears to be a bug,
introduced by commit a6f76f23d2 ("CRED: Make execve() take advantage of
copy-on-write credentials"):
- if (bprm->e_uid != current_euid() ||
- bprm->e_gid != current_egid()) {
- set_dumpable(current->mm, suid_dumpable);
+ if (bprm->cred->uid != current_euid() ||
+ bprm->cred->gid != current_egid()) {
It was bprm euid vs current euid (and egids), but the effective got
dropped. Nothing in the exec flow changes bprm->cred->uid (nor gid).
The call traces are:
prepare_bprm_creds()
prepare_exec_creds()
prepare_creds()
memcpy(new_creds, old_creds, ...)
security_prepare_creds() (unimplemented by commoncap)
...
prepare_binprm()
bprm_fill_uid()
resets euid/egid to current euid/egid
sets euid/egid on bprm based on set*id file bits
security_bprm_set_creds()
cap_bprm_set_creds()
handle all caps-based manipulations
so this test is effectively a test of current_uid() vs current_euid(),
which is wrong, just like the prior dumpability tests were wrong.
The commit log says "Clear pdeath_signal and set dumpable on
certain circumstances that may not be covered by commit_creds()." This
may be meaning the earlier old euid vs new euid (and egid) test that
got changed.
Luckily, as with dumpability, this is all masked by commit_creds()
which performs old/new euid and egid tests and clears pdeath_signal.
And again, like dumpability, we should include LSM secureexec logic for
pdeath_signal clearing. For example, Smack goes out of its way to clear
pdeath_signal when it finds a secureexec condition.

The examination of "current" to decide dumpability is wrong. This was a
check of and euid/uid (or egid/gid) mismatch in the existing process,
not the newly created one. This appears to stretch back into even the
"history.git" tree. Luckily, dumpability is later set in commit_creds().
In earlier kernel versions before creds existed, similar checks also
existed late in the exec flow, covering up the mistake as far back as I
could find.
Note that because the commit_creds() check examines differences of euid,
uid, egid, gid, and capabilities between the old and new creds, it would
look like the setup_new_exec() dumpability test could be entirely removed.
However, the secureexec test may cover a different set of tests (specific
to the LSMs) than what commit_creds() checks for. So, fix this test to
use secureexec (the removed euid tests are redundant to the commoncap
secureexec checks now).

This removes the bprm_secureexec hook since the logic has been folded into

The commoncap implementation of the bprm_secureexec hook is the only LSM
that depends on the final call to its bprm_set_creds hook (since it may
be called for multiple files, it ignores bprm->called_set_creds). As a
result, it cannot safely _clear_ bprm->secureexec since other LSMs may
have set it. Instead, remove the bprm_secureexec hook by introducing a
new flag to bprm specific to commoncap: cap_elevated. This is similar to
cap_effective, but that is used for a specific subset of elevated
privileges, and exists solely to track state from bprm_set_creds to
bprm_secureexec. As such, it will be removed in the next patch.
Here, set the new bprm->cap_elevated flag when setuid/setgid has happened
from bprm_fill_uid() or fscapabilities have been prepared. This temporarily
moves the bprm_secureexec hook to a static inline. The helper will be
removed in the next patch; this makes the step easier to review and bisect,
since this does not introduce any changes to inputs nor outputs to the
"elevated privileges" calculation.
The new flag is merged with the bprm->secureexec flag in setup_new_exec()
since this marks the end of any further prepare_binprm() calls.

The bprm_secureexec hook can be moved earlier. Right now, it is called
during create_elf_tables(), via load_binary(), via search_binary_handler(),
via exec_binprm(). Nearly all (see exception below) state used by
bprm_secureexec is created during the bprm_set_creds hook, called from
prepare_binprm().
For all LSMs (except commoncaps described next), only the first execution
of bprm_set_creds takes any effect (they all check bprm->called_set_creds
which prepare_binprm() sets after the first call to the bprm_set_creds
hook). However, all these LSMs also only do anything with bprm_secureexec
when they detected a secure state during their first run of bprm_set_creds.
Therefore, it is functionally identical to move the detection into
bprm_set_creds, since the results from secureexec here only need to be
based on the first call to the LSM's bprm_set_creds hook.
The single exception is that the commoncaps secureexec hook also examines
euid/uid and egid/gid differences which are controlled by bprm_fill_uid(),
via prepare_binprm(), which can be called multiple times (e.g.
binfmt_script, binfmt_misc), and may clear the euid/egid for the final
load (i.e. the script interpreter). However, while commoncaps specifically
ignores bprm->cred_prepared, and runs its bprm_set_creds hook each time
prepare_binprm() may get called, it needs to base the secureexec decision
on the final call to bprm_set_creds. As a result, it will need special
handling.
To begin this refactoring, this adds the secureexec flag to the bprm
struct, and calls the secureexec hook during setup_new_exec(). This is
safe since all the cred work is finished (and past the point of no return).
This explicit call will be removed in later patches once the hook has been
removed.

In commit 221af7f87b ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions"),
the comment about the point of no return should have stayed in
flush_old_exec() since it refers to "bprm->mm = NULL;" line, but prior
changes in commits c89681ed7d ("remove steal_locks()"), and
fd8328be87 ("sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing
execve()") made it look like it meant the current->sas_ss_sp line instead.
The comment was referring to the fact that once bprm->mm is NULL, all
failures from a binfmt load_binary hook (e.g. load_elf_binary), will
get SEGV raised against current. Move this comment and expand the
explanation a bit, putting it above the assignment this time, and add
details about the true nature of "point of no return" being the call
to flush_old_exec() itself.
This also removes an erroneous commet about when credentials are being
installed. That has its own dedicated function, install_exec_creds(),
which carries a similar (and correct) comment, so remove the bogus comment
where installation is not actually happening.

To avoid pathological stack usage or the need to special-case setuid
execs, just limit all arg stack usage to at most 75% of _STK_LIM (6MB).

When limiting the argv/envp strings during exec to 1/4 of the stack limit,
the storage of the pointers to the strings was not included. This means
that an exec with huge numbers of tiny strings could eat 1/4 of the stack
limit in strings and then additional space would be later used by the
pointers to the strings.
For example, on 32-bit with a 8MB stack rlimit, an exec with 1677721
single-byte strings would consume less than 2MB of stack, the max (8MB /
4) amount allowed, but the pointers to the strings would consume the
remaining additional stack space (1677721 * 4 == 6710884).
The result (1677721 + 6710884 == 8388605) would exhaust stack space
entirely. Controlling this stack exhaustion could result in
pathological behavior in setuid binaries (CVE-2017-1000365).
