7 daysRevert "binfmt_elf, coredump: Log the reason of the failed core dumps"Linus Torvalds1-36/+12
This reverts commit fb97d2eb542faf19a8725afbd75cbc2518903210. The logging was questionable to begin with, but it seems to actively deadlock on the task lock. "On second thought, let's not log core dump failures. 'Tis a silly place" because if you can't tell your core dump is truncated, maybe you should just fix your debugger instead of adding bugs to the kernel.

2024-08-14binfmt_elf: mseal address zeroJeff Xu1-0/+5
In load_elf_binary as part of the execve(), when the current task’s personality has MMAP_PAGE_ZERO set, the kernel allocates one page at address 0. According to the comment: /* Why this, you ask??? Well SVr4 maps page 0 as read-only, and some applications "depend" upon this behavior. Since we do not have the power to recompile these, we emulate the SVr4 behavior. Sigh. */ At one point, Linus suggested removing this [1]. Code search in debian didn't see much use of MMAP_PAGE_ZERO [2], it exists in util and test (rr). Sealing this is probably safe, the comment doesn't say the app ever wanting to change the mapping to rwx. Sealing also ensures that never happens. If there is a complaint, we can make this configurable.

2024-08-06binfmt_elf, coredump: Log the reason of the failed core dumpsRoman Kisel1-12/+36
Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents. There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note. Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing. Report the size of the data written to aid in diagnosing the user mode helper.

2024-07-29x86/elf: Add a new FPU buffer layout info to x86 core filesVignesh Balasubramanian1-2/+2
Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of every xfeature that is present. This information will be used by debuggers to understand the XSAVE layout of the machine where the core file has been dumped, and to read XSAVE registers, especially during cross-platform debugging. The XSAVE layouts of modern AMD and Intel CPUs differ, especially since Memory Protection Keys and the AVX-512 features have been inculcated into the AMD CPUs. Since AMD never adopted (and hence never left room in the XSAVE layout for) the Intel MPX feature, tools like GDB had assumed a fixed XSAVE layout matching that of Intel (based on the XCR0 mask). Hence, core dumps from AMD CPUs didn't match the known size for the XCR0 mask. This resulted in GDB and other tools not being able to access the values of the AVX-512 and PKRU registers on AMD CPUs. To solve this, an interim solution has been accepted into GDB, and is already a part of GDB 14, see https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-March/198081.html. But it depends on heuristics based on the total XSAVE register set size and the XCR0 mask to infer the layouts of the various register blocks for core dumps, and hence, is not a foolproof mechanism to determine the layout of the XSAVE area. Therefore, add a new core dump note in order to allow GDB/LLDB and other relevant tools to determine the layout of the XSAVE area of the machine where the corefile was dumped. The new core dump note (which is being proposed as a per-process .note section), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT (0x205) contains an array of structures. Each structure describes an individual extended feature containing offset, size and flags in this format: struct x86_xfeat_component { u32 type; u32 size; u32 offset; u32 flags; }; and in an independent manner, allowing for future extensions without depending on hw arch specifics like CPUID etc. [ bp: Massage commit message, zap trailing whitespace. ] Co-developed-by: Jini Susan George <jinisusan.george@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Jini Susan George <jinisusan.george@amd.com> Co-developed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Vignesh Balasubramanian <vigbalas@amd.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240725161017.112111-2-vigbalas@amd.com

2024-06-19binfmt_elf: Honor PT_LOAD alignment for static PIEKees Cook1-5/+37
The p_align values in PT_LOAD were ignored for static PIE executables (i.e. ET_DYN without PT_INTERP). This is because there is no way to request a non-fixed mmap region with a specific alignment. ET_DYN with PT_INTERP uses a separate base address (ELF_ET_DYN_BASE) and binfmt_elf performs the ASLR itself, which means it can also apply alignment. For the mmap region, the address selection happens deep within the vm_mmap() implementation (when the requested address is 0). The earlier attempt to implement this: commit 9630f0d60fec ("fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE") commit 925346c129da ("fs/binfmt_elf: fix PT_LOAD p_align values for loaders") did not take into account the different base address origins, and were eventually reverted: aeb7923733d1 ("revert "fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE"") In order to get the correct alignment from an mmap base, binfmt_elf must perform a 0-address load first, then tear down the mapping and perform alignment on the resulting address. Since this is slightly more overhead, only do this when it is needed (i.e. the alignment is not the default ELF alignment). This does, however, have the benefit of being able to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, to avoid potential collisions. With this fixed, enable the static PIE self tests again. Reported-by: H.J.

2024-06-03fs: don't block i_writecount during execChristian Brauner1-2/+0
Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this. Here are some of the notes that I took: (1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable, then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this. (2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism. I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]). An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a _privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used to take over the host. (It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.) The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example, when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into executing itself. This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this could be replaced with an executable script specifying the interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe. As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the runC binary on the host. However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now, one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't. To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways: * Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used to attack other containers or the host itself. * Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing (which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting that binary. To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder. That's all. The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC) was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed, in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk binary. Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to this will also fail. The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these attacks. (3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an additional hook but that should be about it. (4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries. (5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means: (5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years. (5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec completed treating it on a par with shared libraries. Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's actually the case and not guess.

2024-05-08fs/coredump: Enable dynamic configuration of max file note sizeAllen Pais1-2/+5
Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the maximum file note size for ELF core dumps via sysctl. Why is this being done? We have observed that during a crash when there are more than 65k mmaps in memory, the existing fixed limit on the size of the ELF notes section becomes a bottleneck. The notes section quickly reaches its capacity, leading to incomplete memory segment information in the resulting coredump. This truncation compromises the utility of the coredumps, as crucial information about the memory state at the time of the crash might be omitted. This enhancement removes the previous static limit of 4MB, allowing system administrators to adjust the size based on system-specific requirements or constraints. Eg: $ sysctl -a | grep core_file_note_size_limit kernel.core_file_note_size_limit = 4194304 $ sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit 4194304 $echo 519304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit $sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit 519304 Attempting to write beyond the ceiling value of 16MB $echo 17194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Vijay Nag <nagvijay@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Allen Pais <apais@linux.microsoft.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240506193700.7884-1-apais@linux.microsoft.com Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

An order 7 allocation is (1 << 7) contiguous pages, or 512K. It's not a surprise that this allocation failed on a system that's been running for a while. More digging showed that it was fairly easy to see the order 7 allocation by just sending a SIGQUIT to chrome (or other processes) to generate a core dump. The actual amount being allocated was 279,584 bytes and it was for "core_note_type" NT_ARM_SVE. There was quite a bit of discussion [1] on the mailing lists in response to my v1 patch attempting to switch to vmalloc. The overall conclusion was that we could likely reduce the 279,584 byte allocation by quite a bit and Mark Brown has sent a patch to that effect [2]. However even with the 279,584 byte allocation gone there are still 65,552 byte allocations. These are just barely more than the 65,536 bytes and thus would require an order 5 allocation. An order 5 allocation is still something to avoid unless necessary and nothing needs the memory here to be contiguous. Change the allocation to kvzalloc() which should still be efficient for small allocations but doesn't force the memory subsystem to work hard (and maybe fail) at getting a large contiguous chunk.

2023-09-29binfmt_elf: Support segments with 0 filesz and misaligned startsEric W. Biederman1-63/+48
Implement a helper elf_load() that wraps elf_map() and performs all of the necessary work to ensure that when "memsz > filesz" the bytes described by "memsz > filesz" are zeroed. An outstanding issue is if the first segment has filesz 0, and has a randomized location. But that is the same as today. In this change I replaced an open coded padzero() that did not clear all of the way to the end of the page, with padzero() that does. I also stopped checking the return of padzero() as there is at least one known case where testing for failure is the wrong thing to do. It looks like binfmt_elf_fdpic may have the proper set of tests for when error handling can be safely completed. I found a couple of commits in the old history https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git, that look very interesting in understanding this code. commit 39b56d902bf3 ("[PATCH] binfmt_elf: clearing bss may fail") commit c6e2227e4a3e ("[SPARC64]: Missing user access return value checks in fs/binfmt_elf.c and fs/compat.c") commit 5bf3be033f50 ("v2.4.10.1 -> v2.4.10.2") Looking at commit 39b56d902bf3 ("[PATCH] binfmt_elf: clearing bss may fail"): > commit 39b56d902bf35241e7cba6cc30b828ed937175ad > Author: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> > Date: Wed Feb 9 22:40:30 2005 -0800 > > [PATCH] binfmt_elf: clearing bss may fail > > So we discover that Borland's Kylix application builder emits weird elf > files which describe a non-writeable bss segment. > > So remove the clear_user() check at the place where we zero out the bss.

I just skipped the error checking as that avoids breaking things. And notably, it looks like Borland's Kylix died in 2005 so it might be safe to just consider read-only segments with memsz > filesz an error.

2023-06-29Merge branch 'expand-stack'Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout. It's actually something we always technically should have done, but because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic" sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the proper locking. And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly straightforward. That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops. It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit differently: - the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. - the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack. There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up unhappy if you get it wrong. - and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve() we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the stack as a special case. None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the register backing store. So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and convert all the straightforward architectures to it. Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some of those twisty little passages. And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds. That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc, parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()' manually because they are doing something slightly different from the normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and GUP. So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are special, because at execve time even they grow down". The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP. And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it completely dropped (in the failure case). In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace(). Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases. Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those odd conditions entirely the wrong way around. Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the patches _fairly_ minimal. Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window and release candidates.

2023-06-27mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock heldLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument from the vm helper functions again. For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks. Let's see if any strange users really wanted that. It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy "expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock and take it for writing while expanding the vma. This makes it fairly straightforward to convert the remaining architectures. As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be valid. So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

Make calls to extend_vma() and find_extend_vma() fail if the write lock is required. To avoid making this a flag-day event, this still allows the old read-locking case for the trivial situations, and passes in a flag to say "is it write-locked". That way write-lockers can say "yes, I'm being careful", and legacy users will continue to work in all the common cases until they have been fully converted to the new world order.

Tools like readelf/llvm-readelf use p_align to parse a PT_NOTE program header as an array of 4-byte entries or 8-byte entries. Currently, there are workarounds[1] in place for Linux to treat p_align==0 as 4. However, it would be more appropriate to set the correct alignment so that tools do not have to rely on guesswork. FreeBSD coredumps set p_align to 4 as well.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message. So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as modules.

2022-03-18binfmt_elf: Don't write past end of notes for regset gapRick Edgecombe1-10/+14
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.

2022-03-08coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_noteEric W. Biederman1-12/+12
Matthew Wilcox reported that there is a missing mmap_lock in file_files_note that could possibly lead to a user after free. Solve this by using the existing vma snapshot for consistency and to avoid the need to take the mmap_lock anywhere in the coredump code except for dump_vma_snapshot. Update the dump_vma_snapshot to capture vm_pgoff and vm_file that are neeeded by fill_files_note. Add free_vma_snapshot to free the captured values of vm_file.
