Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map segments
on a controlled address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce that. This is
however dangerous thing prone to silent data corruption which can be
even exploitable.
Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example. At the time (before commit
eab09532d400: "binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE was at TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2 which is not that far away from
the stack top on 32b (legacy) memory layout (only 1GB away). Therefore
we could end up mapping over the existing stack with some luck.
The issue has been fixed since then (a87938b2e246: "fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix
bug in loading of PIE binaries"), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE moved moved much
further from the stack (eab09532d4 and later by c715b72c1ba4: "mm:
revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes") and excessive
stack consumption early during execve fully stopped by da029c11e6
("exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM"). So we should be
safe and any attack should be impractical. On the other hand this is
just too subtle assumption so it can break quite easily and hard to
spot.
I believe that the MAP_FIXED usage in load_elf_binary (et. al) is still
fundamentally dangerous. Moreover it shouldn't be even needed. We are
at the early process stage and so there shouldn't be unrelated mappings
(except for stack and loader) existing so mmap for a given address should
succeed even without MAP_FIXED. Something is terribly wrong if this is
not the case and we should rather fail than silently corrupt the
underlying mapping.
Address this issue 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 without clobbering it.

Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2.
This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the
runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED
from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it
might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g. stack).
The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an
alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g. for
shared or file backed mappings).
One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6]. The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution. We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.
The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given
address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range
conflicts with an existing one. The flag is introduced as a completely
new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward
compatibility. We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older
kernels which do not recognize the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks
wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags. On
those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so
the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least
not silently corrupt an existing mapping. I do not see a good way
around that. Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the
userspace at all.
It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]
Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints. This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable. We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space. If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.
John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc/<pid>/maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space. "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might
: have odd limitations, for example), it has to be large enough, and
: alignment has to be large enough (again, various devices may have
: constraints that lead us to do this).
:
: This is of course subject to races with other threads in the process.
:
: Let's say it finds a region starting at va.
:
: b) Next it does:
: p = mmap(va, ...)
:
: *without* setting MAP_FIXED, of course (so va is just a hint), to
: attempt to safely reserve that region. If p != va, then in most cases,
: this is a failure (almost certainly due to another thread getting a
: mapping from that region before we did), and so this layer now has to
: call munmap(), before returning a "failure: retry" to upper layers.
:
: IMPROVEMENT: --> if instead, we could call this:
:
: p = mmap(va, ... MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ...)
:
: , then we could skip the munmap() call upon failure. This
: is a small thing, but it is useful here. (Thanks to Piotr
: Jaroszynski and Mark Hairgrove for helping me get that detail
: exactly right, btw.)
:
: c) After that, CUDA suballocates from p, via:
:
: q = mmap(sub_region_start, ... MAP_FIXED ...)
:
: Interestingly enough, "freeing" is also done via MAP_FIXED, and
: setting PROT_NONE to the subregion. Anyway, I just included (c) for
: general interest.
Atomic address range probing in the multithreaded programs in general
sounds like an interesting thing to me.
The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED
should follow. Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented
properly and they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):
MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range. This
can cause silent memory corruptions. Some of them even with serious
security implications. While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range. Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g. arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.
Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior. It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt. the given address
request with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping. We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.
The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility. We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt. flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping. I do not see a good way around that.

As previously reported (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8642031/)
it's possible to call shrink_dentry_list with a large number of dentries
(> 10000). This, in turn, could trigger the softlockup detector and
possibly trigger a panic. In addition to the unmount path being
vulnerable to this scenario, at SuSE we've observed similar situation
happening during process exit on processes that touch a lot of dentries.
Here is an excerpt from a crash dump. The number after the colon are
the number of dentries on the list passed to shrink_dentry_list:
PID 99760: 10722
PID 107530: 215
PID 108809: 24134
PID 108877: 21331
PID 141708: 16487
So we want to kill between 15k-25k dentries without yielding.
And one possible call stack looks like:
4 [ffff8839ece41db0] _raw_spin_lock at ffffffff8152a5f8
5 [ffff8839ece41db0] evict at ffffffff811c3026
6 [ffff8839ece41dd0] __dentry_kill at ffffffff811bf258
7 [ffff8839ece41df0] shrink_dentry_list at ffffffff811bf593
8 [ffff8839ece41e18] shrink_dcache_parent at ffffffff811bf830
9 [ffff8839ece41e50] proc_flush_task at ffffffff8120dd61
10 [ffff8839ece41ec0] release_task at ffffffff81059ebd
11 [ffff8839ece41f08] do_exit at ffffffff8105b8ce
12 [ffff8839ece41f78] sys_exit at ffffffff8105bd53
13 [ffff8839ece41f80] system_call_fastpath at ffffffff81532909
While some of the callers of shrink_dentry_list do use cond_resched,
this is not sufficient to prevent softlockups. So just move
cond_resched into shrink_dentry_list from its callers.
David said: I've found hundreds of occurrences of warnings that we emit
when need_resched stays set for a prolonged period of time with the
stack trace that is included in the change log.

Patch series "ipc: Clamp *mni to the real IPCMNI limit", v3.
The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit
of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they
can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or
notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written
values which are not real.
Enforcing the limit by failing sysctl parameter write, however, can
break existing user applications. To address this delemma, a new flags
field is introduced into the ctl_table. The value CTL_FLAGS_CLAMP_RANGE
can be added to any ctl_table entries to enable a looser range clamping
without returning any error. For example,
.flags = CTL_FLAGS_CLAMP_RANGE,
This flags value are now used for the range checking of shmmni, msgmni
and semmni without breaking existing applications. If any out of range
value is written to those sysctl parameters, the following warning will
be printed instead.
Kernel parameter "shmmni" was set out of range [0, 32768], clamped to 32768.
Reading the values back will show 32768 instead of some fake values.
This patch (of 6):

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object

As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the

This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc

I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can

The following patches adds the discussed (see [1]) new command for shm
as well as for sems and msq as they are subject to the same
discrepancies for ipc object permission checks between the syscall and
via procfs. These new commands are justified in that (1) we are stuck
with this semantics as changing syscall and procfs can break userland;
and (2) some users can benefit from performance (for large amounts of
shm segments, for example) from not having to parse the procfs
interface.

As using an unsafe module parameter is, by its very definition, an
expected user action, emitting a warning is overkill. Nothing has yet
gone wrong, and we add a taint flag for any future oops should something
actually go wrong. So instead of having a user controllable pr_warn,
downgrade it to a pr_notice for "a normal, but significant condition".
We make use of unsafe kernel parameters in igt
(https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/) (we have not yet
succeeded in removing all such debugging options), which generates a
warning and taints the kernel. The warning is unhelpful as we then need
to filter it out again as we check that every test themselves do not
provoke any kernel warnings.

Once the dma request is passed to the DMA engine, the DMA subsystem
would hold a pointer to this structure and could call the completion
callback after do_dma_request() has timed out.
The current code deals with this by putting timed out SYNC requests to a
pending list and freeing them later, when the mport cdev device is
released. This still does not guarantee that the DMA subsystem is
really done with those transfers, so in theory
dma_xfer_callback/dma_req_free could be called after
mport_cdev_release_dma and could potentially access already freed
memory.
This patch simplifies the current handling by using a kref in the mport
dma request structure, so that it gets freed only when nobody uses it
anymore.
This also simplifies the code a bit, as FAF transfers are now handled in
the same way as SYNC and ASYNC transfers. There is no need anymore for
the pending list and for the dma workqueue which was used in case of FAF
transfers, so we remove them both.

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.

clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/... code according to a set of
rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers
every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful.
In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code
automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style
mistakes, typos and possible improvements. It is also handy for sorting
``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and
other similar tasks. It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for
newcomers.
The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular
Linux distributions for a long time. The rules in this file are
intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most
distributions.
This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the
tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding
style. This gives us several advantages:
* clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults;
avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration.
* Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default
configuration for most of the kernel.
* If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format
may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize
the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one
of the style sub-options.
Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are:
* Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite
the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps.
* Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style.
* Fast enough to be used at the press of a key.
* There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party)
for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim,
emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file
or, more usefully, just your selection.
* Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat
only the lines changed by a git commit.
* Able to reflow text comments as well.
* Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly
complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself,
Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be
supported for a long time.

I'd prefer shorter name "utsns" but there is "user_namespace" already.

Since the randstruct plugin can intentionally produce extremely unusual
kernel structure layouts (even performance pathological ones), some
maintainers want to be able to trivially determine if an Oops is coming
from a randstruct-built kernel, so as to keep their sanity when
debugging. This adds the new flag and initializes taint_mask
immediately when built with randstruct.

This consolidates the taint bit documentation into a single place with
both numeric and letter values. Additionally adds the missing TAINT_AUX
documentation.

This converts to using indexed initializers instead of comments, adds a
comment on why the taint flags can't be an enum, and make sure that no
one forgets to update the taint_flags when adding new bits.

The only tests I could come up with for /proc/uptime are:
- test that values increase monotonically for 1 second,
- bounce around CPUs and test the same thing.
Avoid glibc like plague for affinity given patches like this:

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.
Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!
As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.
