Yama: fix double-spinlock and user access in atomic context
Commit 8a56038c2aef ("Yama: consolidate error reporting") causes lockups when someone hits a Yama denial. Call chain: process_vm_readv -> process_vm_rw -> process_vm_rw_core -> mm_access -> ptrace_may_access task_lock(...) is taken __ptrace_may_access -> security_ptrace_access_check -> yama_ptrace_access_check -> report_access -> kstrdup_quotable_cmdline -> get_cmdline -> access_process_vm -> get_task_mm task_lock(...) is taken again task_lock(p) just calls spin_lock(&p->alloc_lock), so at this point, spin_lock() is called on a lock that is already held by the current process. Also: Since the alloc_lock is a spinlock, sleeping inside security_ptrace_access_check hooks is probably not allowed at all? So it's not even possible to print the cmdline from in there because that might involve paging in userspace memory. It would be tempting to rewrite ptrace_may_access() to drop the alloc_lock before calling the LSM, but even then, ptrace_may_access() itself might be called from various contexts in which you're not allowed to sleep; for example, as far as I understand, to be able to hold a reference to another task, usually an RCU read lock will be taken (see e.g. kcmp() and get_robust_list()), so that also prohibits sleeping. (And using e.g. FUSE, a user can cause pagefault handling to take arbitrary amounts of time - see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=808.) Therefore, AFAIK, in order to print the name of a process below security_ptrace_access_check(), you'd have to either grab a reference to the mm_struct and defer the access violation reporting or just use the "comm" value that's stored in kernelspace and accessible without big complications. (Or you could try to use some kind of atomic remote VM access that fails if the memory isn't paged in, similar to copy_from_user_inatomic(), and if necessary fall back to comm, but that'd be kind of ugly because the comm/cmdline choice would look pretty random to the user.) Fix it by deferring reporting of the access violation until current exits kernelspace the next time. v2: Don't oops on PTRACE_TRACEME, call report_access under task_lock(current). Also fix nonsensical comment. And don't use GPF_ATOMIC for memory allocation with no locks held. This patch is tested both for ptrace attach and ptrace traceme.
