2013-10-09sched/numa: Call task_numa_free() from do_execve()Rik van Riel1-0/+1
It is possible for a task in a numa group to call exec, and have the new (unrelated) executable inherit the numa group association from its former self. This has the potential to break numa grouping, and is trivial to fix.

2013-09-12exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()Oleg Nesterov1-8/+3
The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent. - "retval >= 0" simply returns - "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because binfmt_lock was already re-acquired - "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and relies on the same check after the main loop Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement. need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and impossible list_empty(&formats) case. It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this should be removed.

2013-09-12exec: don't retry if request_module() failsOleg Nesterov1-1/+2
A separate one-liner for better documentation. It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec /sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check. However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right: 1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user space modprobe process should report the correct exit code. But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change. 2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller which doesn't make sense. 3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more ugly.

2013-09-12exec: cleanup the CONFIG_MODULES logicOleg Nesterov1-37/+31
search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto" but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho. We still need to check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break" for !CONFIG_MODULES case. Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry". The code looks much simpler and we do not even need ifdef's, gcc can optimize out the "if (need_retry)" block if !IS_ENABLED().

2013-09-12exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler()Oleg Nesterov1-4/+3
search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move it into __register_binfmt(). Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.

2013-09-12exec: move allow_write_access/fput to exec_binprm()Oleg Nesterov1-4/+6
When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the same. We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once. In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in do_execve_common's error path.

2013-09-12mm: track vma changes with VM_SOFTDIRTY bitCyrill Gorcunov1-1/+1
Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap, loosing soft dirty bit of course. So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded) we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing soft dirty bit. Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if vma area is renewed.

2013-08-16Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner casesLinus Torvalds1-2/+2
Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

2013-05-01exec: do not abuse ->cred_guard_mutex in threadgroup_lock()Oleg Nesterov1-0/+3
threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that thread_group_leader() is stable. This doesn't look nice, the scope of this lock in do_execve() is huge. And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the following dependencies: do_execve: cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex cgroup_mount: i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex attach_task_by_pid: cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid ->cred_guard_mutex. Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

2012-12-21exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stackKees Cook1-0/+15
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is.

2012-12-18exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depthKees Cook1-5/+5
To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

2012-11-19userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mappedEric W. Biederman1-6/+3
When performing an exec where the binary lives in one user namespace and the execing process lives in another usre namespace there is the possibility that the target uids can not be represented. Instead of failing the exec simply ignore the suid/sgid bits and run the binary with lower privileges. We already do this in the case of MNT_NOSUID so this should be a well tested code path. As the user and group are not changed this should not introduce any security issues. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2012-10-13vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton1-6/+7
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-09mm: avoid taking rmap locks in move_ptes()Michel Lespinasse1-1/+1
During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one. When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes(). Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in "mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail". The difference is that we don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to taking locks in the uncommon case. Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

2012-10-09exec: make de_thread() killableOleg Nesterov1-2/+14
Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter. This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(), execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread waits for execing thread. Deadlock.

2012-09-30generic kernel_execve()Al Viro1-0/+22
based mostly on arm and alpha versions. Architectures can define __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and use it, provided that * they have working current_pt_regs(), even for kernel threads. * kernel_thread-spawned threads do have space for pt_regs in the normal location. Normally that's as simple as switching to generic kernel_thread() and making sure that kernel threads do *not* go through return from syscall path; call the payload from equivalent of ret_from_fork if we are in a kernel thread (or just have separate ret_from_kernel_thread and make copy_thread() use it instead of ret_from_fork in kernel thread case). * they have ret_from_kernel_execve(); it is called after successful do_execve() done by kernel_execve() and gets normal pt_regs location passed to it as argument. It's essentially a longjmp() analog - it should set sp, etc. to the situation expected at the return for syscall and go there. Eventually the need for that sucker will disappear, but that'll take some surgery on kernel_thread() payloads. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
