This patch (of 6):
The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an
address_space. To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make
this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.
This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.
Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.

memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor
that you can pass to mmap(). It can support sealing and avoids any
connection to user-visible mount-points. Thus, it's not subject to quotas
on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with
a file-descriptor to it.
memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can
be used to modify the underlying inode. Also calls like fstat() will
return proper information and mark the file as regular file. If you want
sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. Otherwise, sealing is not
supported (like on all other regular files).
Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not
subject to a filesystem size limit. It is still properly accounted to
memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit
accounting as all user memory.

commit b9023b91dd020ad7e093baa5122b6968c48cc9e0 upstream.
When a cpu requests broadcasting, before starting the tick broadcast
hrtimer, bc_set_next() checks if the timer callback (bc_handler) is active
using hrtimer_try_to_cancel(). But hrtimer_try_to_cancel() does not provide
the required synchronization when the callback is active on other core.
The callback could have already executed tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast()
and could have also returned. But still there is a small time window where
the hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns -1. In that case bc_set_next() returns
without doing anything, but the next_event of the tick broadcast clock
device is already set to a timeout value.
In the race condition diagram below, CPU #1 is running the timer callback
and CPU #2 is entering idle state and so calls bc_set_next().
In the worst case, the next_event will contain an expiry time, but the
hrtimer will not be started which happens when the racing callback returns
HRTIMER_NORESTART. The hrtimer might never recover if all further requests
from the CPUs to subscribe to tick broadcast have timeout greater than the
next_event of tick broadcast clock device. This leads to cascading of
failures and finally noticed as rcu stall warnings
Here is a depiction of the race condition
CPU #1 (Running timer callback) CPU #2 (Enter idle
and subscribe to
tick broadcast)
--------------------- ---------------------
__run_hrtimer() tick_broadcast_enter()
bc_handler() __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast()
raw_spin_lock(&tick_broadcast_lock);
dev->next_event = KTIME_MAX; //wait for tick_broadcast_lock
//next_event for tick broadcast clock
set to KTIME_MAX since no other cores
subscribed to tick broadcasting
raw_spin_unlock(&tick_broadcast_lock);
if (dev->next_event == KTIME_MAX)
return HRTIMER_NORESTART
// callback function exits without
restarting the hrtimer //tick_broadcast_lock acquired
raw_spin_lock(&tick_broadcast_lock);
tick_broadcast_set_event()
clockevents_program_event()
dev->next_event = expires;
bc_set_next()
hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
//returns -1 since the timer
callback is active. Exits without
restarting the timer
cpu_base->running = NULL;
The comment that hrtimer cannot be armed from within the callback is
wrong. It is fine to start the hrtimer from within the callback. Also it is
safe to start the hrtimer from the enter/exit idle code while the broadcast
handler is active. The enter/exit idle code and the broadcast handler are
synchronized using tick_broadcast_lock. So there is no need for the
existing try to cancel logic. All this can be removed which will eliminate
the race condition as well.

commit 38d23a6cc16c02f7b0c920266053f340b5601735 upstream.
The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes
incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the
kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically
happens when a device is swapped out by
tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with
clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens,
the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being
restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only
try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in
one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.

commit a127d2bcf1fbc8c8e0b5cf0dab54f7d3ff50ce47 upstream.
The hrtimer mode of broadcast queues hrtimers in the idle entry
path so as to wakeup cpus in deep idle states. The associated
call graph is :
cpuidle_idle_call()
|____ clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, ....))
|_____tick_broadcast_set_event()
|____clockevents_program_event()
|____bc_set_next()
The hrtimer_{start/cancel} functions call into tracing which uses RCU.
But it is not legal to call into RCU in cpuidle because it is one of the
quiescent states. Hence protect this region with RCU_NONIDLE which informs
RCU that the cpu is momentarily non-idle.
As an aside it is helpful to point out that the clock event device that is
programmed here is not a per-cpu clock device; it is a
pseudo clock device, used by the broadcast framework alone.
The per-cpu clock device programming never goes through bc_set_next().

commit cddd02489f52ccf635ed65931214729a23b93cd6 upstream.
In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
event. Now it works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we
must also make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode.
Part of that job consist in kicking a dynticks hrtimer target in order
to make it reconsider the next tick to schedule to correctly handle the
hrtimer's expiring time. And that part isn't handled by the hrtimers
subsystem.
To prepare for fixing this, we need __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to be
able to resolve the CPU target associated to a hrtimer's object
'cpu_base' so that the kick can be centralized there.
So lets store it in the 'struct hrtimer_cpu_base' to resolve the CPU
without overhead. It is set once at CPU's online notification.

commit 1d1f898df6586c5ea9aeaf349f13089c6fa37903 upstream.
The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.
Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.
This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.
This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.

Recently syzbot in conjunction with KMSAN reported that
ptrace_peek_siginfo can copy an uninitialized siginfo to userspace.
Inspecting ptrace_peek_siginfo confirms this.
The problem is that off when initialized from args.off can be
initialized to a negaive value. At which point the "if (off >= 0)"
test to see if off became negative fails because off started off
negative.
Prevent the core problem by adding a variable found that is only true
if a siginfo is found and copied to a temporary in preparation for
being copied to userspace.
Prevent args.off from being truncated when being assigned to off by
testing that off is <= the maximum possible value of off. Convert off
to an unsigned long so that we should not have to truncate args.off,
we have well defined overflow behavior so if we add another check we
won't risk fighting undefined compiler behavior, and so that we have a
type whose maximum value is easy to test for.

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.
For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.
eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'
Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'

envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'

The two fundamental things I know we can not allow are:
- A shared signal queue aka CLONE_THREAD. Because we compute the pid
and uid of the signal when we place it in the queue.
- Changing the pid and by extention pid_namespace of an existing
process.
From a parents perspective there is nothing special about the pid
namespace, to deny CLONE_PARENT, because the parent simply won't know or
care.
From the childs perspective all that is special really are shared signal
queues.
User mode threading with CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND and tasks
in different pid namespaces is almost certainly going to break because
it is complicated. But shared signal handlers can look at per thread
information to know which pid namespace a process is in, so I don't know
of any reason not to support CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND threads
at the kernel level. It would be absolutely stupid to implement but
that is a different thing.

do_fork() denies CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PARENT if NEWUSER | NEWPID.
Then later copy_process() denies CLONE_SIGHAND if the new process will
be in a different pid namespace (task_active_pid_ns() doesn't match
current->nsproxy->pid_ns).
This looks confusing and inconsistent. CLONE_NEWPID is very similar to
the case when ->pid_ns was already unshared, we want the same
restrictions so copy_process() should also nack CLONE_PARENT.
And it would be better to deny CLONE_NEWUSER && CLONE_SIGHAND as well
just for consistency.
Kill the "CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID" check in do_fork() and change
copy_process() to do the same check along with ->pid_ns check we already
have.

Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns. This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.
Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.
Test-case:
static int child(void *arg)
{
return 0;
}
static char stack[16 * 1024];
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);
return 0;
}
clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.
We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.
And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.
attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

commit 7b55851367136b1efd84d98fea81ba57a98304cf upstream.
This changes the fork(2) syscall to record the process start_time after
initializing the basic task structure but still before making the new
process visible to user-space.
Technically, we could record the start_time anytime during fork(2). But
this might lead to scenarios where a start_time is recorded long before
a process becomes visible to user-space. For instance, with
userfaultfd(2) and TLS, user-space can delay the execution of fork(2)
for an indefinite amount of time (and will, if this causes network
access, or similar).
By recording the start_time late, it much closer reflects the point in
time where the process becomes live and can be observed by other
processes.
Lastly, this makes it much harder for user-space to predict and control
the start_time they get assigned. Previously, user-space could fork a
process and stall it in copy_thread_tls() before its pid is allocated,
but after its start_time is recorded. This can be misused to later-on
cycle through PIDs and resume the stalled fork(2) yielding a process
that has the same pid and start_time as a process that existed before.
This can be used to circumvent security systems that identify processes
by their pid+start_time combination.
Even though user-space was always aware that start_time recording is
flaky (but several projects are known to still rely on start_time-based
identification), changing the start_time to be recorded late will help
mitigate existing attacks and make it much harder for user-space to
control the start_time a process gets assigned.

commit 3fd37226216620c1a468afa999739d5016fbc349 upstream.
Imagine we have a pid namespace and a task from its parent's pid_ns,
which made setns() to the pid namespace. The task is doing fork(),
while the pid namespace's child reaper is dying. We have the race
between them:
Task from parent pid_ns Child reaper
copy_process() ..
alloc_pid() ..
.. zap_pid_ns_processes()
.. disable_pid_allocation()
.. read_lock(&tasklist_lock)
.. iterate over pids in pid_ns
.. kill tasks linked to pids
.. read_unlock(&tasklist_lock)
write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock); ..
attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID); ..
.. ..
So, just created task p won't receive SIGKILL signal,
and the pid namespace will be in contradictory state.
Only manual kill will help there, but does the userspace
care about this? I suppose, the most users just inject
a task into a pid namespace and wait a SIGCHLD from it.
The patch fixes the problem. It simply checks for
(pid_ns->nr_hashed & PIDNS_HASH_ADDING) in copy_process().
We do it under the tasklist_lock, and can't skip
PIDNS_HASH_ADDING as noted by Oleg:
"zap_pid_ns_processes() does disable_pid_allocation()
and then takes tasklist_lock to kill the whole namespace.
Given that copy_process() checks PIDNS_HASH_ADDING
under write_lock(tasklist) they can't race;
if copy_process() takes this lock first, the new child will
be killed, otherwise copy_process() can't miss
the change in ->nr_hashed."
If allocation is disabled, we just return -ENOMEM
like it's made for such cases in alloc_pid().
v2: Do not move disable_pid_allocation(), do not
introduce a new variable in copy_process() and simplify
the patch as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.
Account the problem with double irq enabling
found by Eric W. Biederman.

When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.
A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.
This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.
This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)

This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and
recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the
state of TIF_SIGPENDING.
If we ignore a signal, we also need to do flush_sigqueue_mask() for the
case when this signal is pending, this way recalc_sigpending() can
actually clear TIF_SIGPENDING and we do not "leak" the allocated
siginfo's.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

commit cf43a757fd49442bc38f76088b70c2299eed2c2f upstream.
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.

commit 7146db3317c67b517258cb5e1b08af387da0618b upstream.
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.

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.

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream.
The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how
large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary
values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from
kmalloc.
When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the
perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__alloc_pages_nodemask():
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8
Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible
before calling kzalloc.
