traversing the vma list without the mmap_lock.

The only real difference is in filling per-thread notes - getting
the values of registers. And this is the only part that is worth
an ifdef - we don't need to duplicate the logics regarding gathering
threads, filling other notes, etc.
It would've been hard to do back when regset-based variant had been
introduced, mostly due to sharing bits and pieces of helpers with
aout coredumps. As the result, too much had been duplicated and
the copies had drifted away since then. Now it can be done cleanly...

fill_note_info() iterates through the list of threads collected in
mm->core_state->dumper, allocating a struct elf_thread_core_info
instance for each and linking those into a list.
We need the entry corresponding to current to be first in the
resulting list, so the logics for list insertion is
if it's for current or list is empty
insert in the head
else
insert after the first element
However, in mm->core_state->dumper the entry for current is guaranteed
to be the first one. Which means that both parts of condition will
be true on the first iteration and neither will be true on all subsequent
ones.

ELF: fix overflow in total mapping size calculation
In fill_thread_core_info() the ptrace accessible registers are collected
to be written out as notes in a core file. The note array is allocated
from a size calculated by iterating the user regset view, and counting the
regsets that have a non-zero core_note_type. However, this only allows for
there to be non-zero core_note_type at the end of the regset view. If
there are any gaps in the middle, fill_thread_core_info() will overflow the
note allocation, as it iterates over the size of the view and the
allocation would be smaller than that.
There doesn't appear to be any arch that has gaps such that they exceed
the notes allocation, but the code is brittle and tries to support
something it doesn't. It could be fixed by increasing the allocation size,
but instead just have the note collecting code utilize the array better.
This way the allocation can stay smaller.
Even in the case of no arch's that have gaps in their regset views, this
introduces a change in the resulting indicies of t->notes. It does not
introduce any changes to the core file itself, because any blank notes are
skipped in write_note_info().
In case, the allocation logic between fill_note_info() and
fill_thread_core_info() ever diverges from the usage logic, warn and skip
writing any notes that would overflow the array.
This fix is derrived from an earlier one[0] by Yu-cheng Yu.

BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197921
As pointed out in the discussion of buglink, we cannot calculate AT_PHDR
as the sum of load_addr and exec->e_phoff.
: The AT_PHDR of ELF auxiliary vectors should point to the memory address
: of program header. But binfmt_elf.c calculates this address as follows:
:
: NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_PHDR, load_addr + exec->e_phoff);
:
: which is wrong since e_phoff is the file offset of program header and
: load_addr is the memory base address from PT_LOAD entry.
:
: The ld.so uses AT_PHDR as the memory address of program header. In normal
: case, since the e_phoff is usually 64 and in the first PT_LOAD region, it
: is the correct program header address.
:
: But if the address of program header isn't equal to the first PT_LOAD
: address + e_phoff (e.g. Put the program header in other non-consecutive
: PT_LOAD region), ld.so will try to read program header from wrong address
: then crash or use incorrect program header.
This is because exec->e_phoff
is the offset of PHDRs in the file and the address of PHDRs in the
memory may differ from it. This patch fixes the bug by calculating the
address of program headers from PT_LOADs directly.

Kernel assumes that ELF program headers are ordered by mapping address,
but doesn't enforce it. It is possible to make mapping size extremely huge
by simply shuffling first and last PT_LOAD segments.
As long as PT_LOAD segments do not overlap, it is silly to require
sorting by v_addr anyway because mmap() doesn't care.
Don't assume PT_LOAD segments are sorted and calculate min and max
addresses correctly.

Partially revert commit 5f501d5556 ("binfmt_elf: reintroduce using
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE"), which applied the ET_DYN "total_mapping_size"
logic also to ET_EXEC.
At least ia64 has ET_EXEC PT_LOAD segments that are not virtual-address
contiguous (but _are_ file-offset contiguous). This would result in a
giant mapping attempting to cover the entire span, including the virtual
address range hole, and well beyond the size of the ELF file itself,
causing the kernel to refuse to load it. For example:
$ readelf -lW /usr/bin/gcc
...
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz ...
...
LOAD 0x000000 0x4000000000000000 0x4000000000000000 0x00b5a0 0x00b5a0 ...
LOAD 0x00b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x0005ac 0x000710 ...
...
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
File offset range : 0x000000-0x00bb4c
0x00bb4c bytes
Virtual address range : 0x4000000000000000-0x600000000000bcb0
0x200000000000bcb0 bytes
Remove the total_mapping_size logic for ET_EXEC, which reduces the
ET_EXEC MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE coverage to only the first PT_LOAD (better
than nothing), and retains it for ET_DYN.
Ironically, this is the reverse of the problem that originally caused
problems with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE: overlapping PT_LOAD segments. Future
work could restore full coverage if load_elf_binary() were to perform
mappings in a separate phase from the loading (where it could resolve
both overlaps and holes).

Commit b212921b13 ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf
executable mappings") reverted back to using MAP_FIXED to map ELF LOAD
segments because it was found that the segments in some binaries overlap
and can cause MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE to fail.
The original intent of MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in the ELF loader was to
prevent the silent clobbering of an existing mapping (e.g. stack) by
the ELF image, which could lead to exploitable conditions. Quoting
commit 4ed2863951 ("fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map"),
which originally introduced the use of MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in the
loader:
Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map
segments [to a specific] address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce
that. This is however [a] dangerous thing prone to silent data
corruption which can be even exploitable.
...
Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example ... we could end up mapping
[the executable] over the existing stack ... The [stack layout] issue
has been fixed since then ... So we should be safe and any [similar]
attack should be impractical. On the other hand this is just too
subtle [an] assumption ... it can break quite easily and [be] hard to
spot.
...
Address this [weakness] by changing MAP_FIXED to the newly added
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. This will mean that mmap will fail if there is
an existing mapping clashing with the requested one [instead of
silently] clobbering it.
Then processing ET_DYN binaries the loader already calculates a total
size for the image when the first segment is mapped, maps the entire
image, and then unmaps the remainder before the remaining segments are
then individually mapped.
To avoid the earlier problems (legitimate overlapping LOAD segments
specified in the ELF), apply the same logic to ET_EXEC binaries as well.
For both ET_EXEC and ET_DYN+INTERP use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for the
initial total size mapping and then use MAP_FIXED to build the final
(possibly legitimately overlapping) mappings. For ET_DYN w/out INTERP,
continue to map at a system-selected address in the mmap region.

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman:
"Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling
code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than
necessary and difficult to follow.
This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up,
making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then
cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the
coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions
with the signal handling code is cleaned up.
The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.
I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
the userspace visible behavior.
In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
and bug fixes.
Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
still be improved.
If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
per signal_struct"
* 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group
coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core
exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm
exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state
ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop
signal: Remove the bogus sigkill_pending in ptrace_stop
Today when a signal is delivered with a handler of SIG_DFL whose
default behavior is to generate a core dump not only that process but
every process that shares the mm is killed.
In the case of vfork this looks like a real world problem. Consider
the following well defined sequence.
if (vfork() == 0) {
execve(...);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
If a signal that generates a core dump is received after vfork but
before the execve changes the mm the process that called vfork will
also be killed (as the mm is shared).
Similarly if the execve fails after the point of no return the kernel
delivers SIGSEGV which will kill both the exec'ing process and because
the mm is shared the process that called vfork as well.
As far as I can tell this behavior is a violation of people's
reasonable expectations, POSIX, and is unnecessarily fragile when the
system is low on memory.
Solve this by making a userspace visible change to only kill a single
process/thread group. This is possible because Jann Horn recently
modified[1] the coredump code so that the mm can safely be modified
while the coredump is happening. With LinuxThreads long gone I don't
expect anyone to have a notice this behavior change in practice.
To accomplish this move the core_state pointer from mm_struct to
signal_struct, which allows different thread groups to coredump
simultatenously.
In zap_threads remove the work to kill anything except for the current
thread group.
v2: Remove core_state from the VM_BUG_ON_MM print to fix
compile failure when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

In commit b212921b13 ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf

Unfortunately, this will cause kernel to fail to start with:

Failed to execute /init (error -17)
The reason is that the elf interpreter (ld.so) has overlapping segments.

At exec time when we mmap the new executable via MAP_DENYWRITE we have it
opened via do_open_execat() and already deny_write_access()'ed the file
successfully. Once exec completes, we allow_write_acces(); however,
we set mm->exe_file in begin_new_exec() via set_mm_exe_file() and
also deny_write_access() as long as mm->exe_file remains set. We'll
effectively deny write access to our executable via mm->exe_file
until mm->exe_file is changed -- when the process is removed, on new
exec, or via sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE).
Let's remove all usage of MAP_DENYWRITE, it's no longer necessary for
mm->exe_file.
In case of an elf interpreter, we'll now only deny write access to the file
during exec. This is somewhat okay, because the interpreter behaves
(and sometime is) a shared library; all shared libraries, especially the
ones loaded directly in user space like via dlopen() won't ever be mapped
via MAP_DENYWRITE, because we ignore that from user space completely;
these shared libraries can always be modified while mapped and executed.
Let's only special-case the main executable, denying write access while
being executed by a process. This can be considered a minor user space
visible change.
While this is a cleanup, it also fixes part of a problem reported with
VM_DENYWRITE on overlayfs, as VM_DENYWRITE is effectively unused with
this patch and will be removed next:
"Overlayfs did not honor positive i_writecount on realfile for
VM_DENYWRITE mappings." [1]

uselib() is the legacy systemcall for loading shared libraries.
Nowadays, applications use dlopen() to load shared libraries, completely
implemented in user space via mmap().
For example, glibc uses MAP_COPY to mmap shared libraries. While this
maps to MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_DENYWRITE on Linux, Linux ignores any
MAP_DENYWRITE specification from user space in mmap.
With this change, all remaining in-tree users of MAP_DENYWRITE use it
to map an executable. We will be able to open shared libraries loaded
via uselib() writable, just as we already can via dlopen() from user
space.
This is one step into the direction of removing MAP_DENYWRITE from the
kernel. This can be considered a minor user space visible change.

Preparations to doing i386 compat elf_prstatus sanely - rather than duplicating
the beginning of compat_elf_prstatus, take these fields into a separate
structure (compat_elf_prstatus_common), so that it could be reused. Due to
the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).
Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into
a single member without disturbing the layout.
[build fix from Geert Uytterhoeven folded in]
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
On 64bit architectures that support 32bit processes there are
two possible layouts for NT_PRSTATUS note in ELF coredumps.
For one thing, several fields are 64bit for native processes
and 32bit for compat ones (pr_sigpend, etc.). For another,
the register dump is obviously different - the size and number
of registers are not going to be the same for 32bit and 64bit
variants of processor.
Usually that's handled by having two structures - elf_prstatus
for native layout and compat_elf_prstatus for 32bit one.
32bit processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, which
defines a macro called 'elf_prstatus' that expands to compat_elf_prstatus.
Then it includes fs/binfmt_elf.c, which makes all references to
struct elf_prstatus to be textually replaced with struct
compat_elf_prstatus. Ugly and somewhat brittle, but it works.
However, amd64 is worse - there are _three_ possible layouts.
One for native 64bit processes, another for i386 (32bit) processes
and yet another for x32 (32bit address space with full 64bit
registers).
Both i386 and x32 processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c,
with usual compat_binfmt_elf.c trickery. However, the layouts
for i386 and x32 are not identical - they have the common beginning,
but the register dump part (pr_reg) is bigger on x32. Worse, pr_reg
is not the last field - it's followed by int pr_fpvalid, so that
field ends up at different offsets for i386 and x32 layouts.
Fortunately, there's not much code that cares about any of that -
it's all encapsulated in fill_thread_core_info(). Since x32
variant is bigger, we define compat_elf_prstatus to match that
layout. That way i386 processes have enough space to fit
their layout into.
Moreover, since these layouts are identical prior to pr_reg,
we don't need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases when we are
setting the fields prior to pr_reg.
Filling pr_reg itself is done by calling ->get() method of
appropriate regset, and that method knows what layout (and size)
to use.
We do need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases only for two
things: setting ->pr_fpvalid (offset differs for x32 and
i386) and choosing the right size for our note.
The way it's done is Not Nice, for the lack of more accurate
printable description. There are two macros (PRSTATUS_SIZE and
SET_PR_FPVALID), that default essentially to sizeof(struct elf_prstatus)
and (S)->pr_fpvalid = 1. On x86 asm/compat.h provides its own
variants.
Unfortunately, quite a few things go wrong there:
* PRSTATUS_SIZE doesn't use the normal test for process
being an x32 one; it compares the size reported by regset with
the size of pr_reg.
* it hardcodes the sizes of x32 and i386 variants (296 and 144
resp.), so if some change in includes leads to asm/compat.h pulled
in by fs/binfmt_elf.c we are in trouble - it will end up using
the size of x32 variant for 64bit processes.
* it's in the wrong place; asm/compat.h couldn't define
the structure for i386 layout, since it lacks quite a few types
needed for it. Hardcoded sizes are largely due to that.
The proper fix would be to have an explicitly defined i386 variant
of structure and have PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID check for
TIF_X32 to choose the variant that should be used. Unfortunately,
that requires some manipulations of headers; we'll do that later
in the series, but for now let's go with the minimal variant -
rename PRSTATUS_SIZE in asm/compat.h to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE,
have fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c define PRSTATUS_SIZE to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE
and use the normal TIF_X32 check in that macro. The size of i386 variant
is kept hardcoded for now. Similar story for SET_PR_FPVALID.

Oleg Nesterov recently asked[1] why is there an unshare_files in
do_coredump. After digging through all of the callers of lookup_fd it
turns out that it is
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/coredump.c:coredump_next_context
that needs the unshare_files in do_coredump.
Looking at the history[2] this code was also the only piece of coredump code
that required the unshare_files when the unshare_files was added.
Looking at that code it turns out that cell is also the only
architecture that implements elf_coredump_extra_notes_size and
elf_coredump_extra_notes_write.
I looked at the gdb repo[3] support for cell has been removed[4] in binutils
2.34. Geoff Levand reports he is still getting questions on how to
run modern kernels on the PS3, from people using 3rd party firmware so
this code is not dead. According to Wikipedia the last PS3 shipped in
Japan sometime in 2017. So it will probably be a little while before
everyone's hardware dies.
Add some comments briefly documenting the coredump code that exists
only to support cell spufs to make it easier to understand the
coredump code. Eventually the hardware will be dead, or their won't
be userspace tools, or the coredump code will be refactored and it
