Patch series "XArray", v9. (First part thereof). This patchset is, I believe, appropriate for merging for 4.17. It contains the XArray implementation, to eventually replace the radix tree, and converts the page cache to use it. This conversion keeps the radix tree and XArray data structures in sync at all times. That allows us to convert the page cache one function at a time and should allow for easier bisection. Other than renaming some elements of the structures, the data structures are fundamentally unchanged; a radix tree walk and an XArray walk will touch the same number of cachelines. I have changes planned to the XArray data structure, but those will happen in future patches. Improvements the XArray has over the radix tree: - The radix tree provides operations like other trees do; 'insert' and 'delete'. But what most users really want is an automatically resizing array, and so it makes more sense to give users an API that is like an array -- 'load' and 'store'. We still have an 'insert' operation for users that really want that semantic. - The XArray considers locking as part of its API. This simplifies a lot of users who formerly had to manage their own locking just for the radix tree. It also improves code generation as we can now tell RCU that we're holding a lock and it doesn't need to generate as much fencing code. The other advantage is that tree nodes can be moved (not yet implemented). - GFP flags are now parameters to calls which may need to allocate memory. The radix tree forced users to decide what the allocation flags would be at creation time. It's much clearer to specify them at allocation time. - Memory is not preloaded; we don't tie up dozens of pages on the off chance that the slab allocator fails. Instead, we drop the lock, allocate a new node and retry the operation. We have to convert all the radix tree, IDA and IDR preload users before we can realise this benefit, but I have not yet found a user which cannot be converted. - The XArray provides a cmpxchg operation. The radix tree forces users to roll their own (and at least four have). - Iterators take a 'max' parameter. That simplifies many users and will reduce the amount of iteration done. - Iteration can proceed backwards. We only have one user for this, but since it's called as part of the pagefault readahead algorithm, that seemed worth mentioning. - RCU-protected pointers are not exposed as part of the API. There are some fun bugs where the page cache forgets to use rcu_dereference() in the current codebase. - Value entries gain an extra bit compared to radix tree exceptional entries. That gives us the extra bit we need to put huge page swap entries in the page cache. - Some iterators now take a 'filter' argument instead of having separate iterators for tagged/untagged iterations. The page cache is improved by this: - Shorter, easier to read code - More efficient iterations - Reduction in size of struct address_space - Fewer walks from the top of the data structure; the XArray API encourages staying at the leaf node and conducting operations there. This patch (of 8): None of these bits may be used for slab allocations, so we can use them as radix tree flags as long as we mask them off before passing them to the slab allocator. Move the IDR flag from the high bits to the GFP_ZONEMASK bits. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180313132639.17387-3-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL(): #define UL(x) _AC(x, UL) This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it to a common header. Currently, we only have the uapi variant for linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h. I also added _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly used in the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL). I expect they will be replaced in follow-up cleanups. The underscore-prefixed ones should be used for exported headers. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1519301715-31798-4-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "linux/const.h: cleanups of macros such as UL(), _BITUL(), BIT() etc", v3. ARM, ARM64, UniCore32 define UL() as a shorthand of _AC(..., UL). More architectures may introduce it in the future. UL() is arch-agnostic, and useful. So let's move it to include/linux/const.h Currently, <asm/memory.h> must be included to use UL(). It pulls in more bloats just for defining some bit macros. I posted V2 one year ago. The previous posts are: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498273/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498269/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498271/ At that time, what blocked this series was a comment from David Howells: You need to be very careful doing this. Some userspace stuff depends on the guard macro names on the kernel header files. (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/) Looking at the code closer, I noticed this is not a problem. See the following line. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc2/scripts/headers_install.sh#L40 scripts/headers_install.sh rips off _UAPI prefix from guard macro names. I ran "make headers_install" and confirmed the result is what I expect. So, we can prefix the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h, and add a new include/linux/const.h. This patch (of 4): I am going to add include/linux/const.h for the kernel space. Add _UAPI to the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h to prepare for that. Please notice the guard name of the exported one will be kept as-is. So, this commit has no impact to the userspace even if some userspace stuff depends on the guard macro names. scripts/headers_install.sh processes exported headers by SED, and rips off "_UAPI" from guard macro names. #ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_CONST_H #define _UAPI_LINUX_CONST_H will be turned into #ifndef _LINUX_CONST_H #define _LINUX_CONST_H Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1519301715-31798-2-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct page initialization is enabled. This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from struct pages when they are initialized later in boot. Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv domains. It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it reduces boot time. This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and fixes the problem the following way: The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all allocated memory are initialized, i.e. until after free_all_bootmem(). A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the allocated memory are now initialized. If deferred page initialization is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called. xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

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 eab09532: "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 (a87938b2: "fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix bug in loading of PIE binaries"), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE moved moved much further from the stack (eab09532 and later by c715b72c: "mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes") and excessive stack consumption early during execve fully stopped by da029c11 ("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.

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.

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): Fix a typo. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1519926220-7453-2-git-send-email-longman@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object metadata between /proc/sysvipc/msg (0444) and the MSG_STAT shmctl command. The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed anyways in the procfs files. While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no writing to the msq metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some reported cases for shm. This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition, I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the procfs file.

Patch series "sysvipc: introduce STAT_ANY commands", v2. 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. Once merged, I will submit the necesary manpage updates. But I'm thinking something like: : diff --git a/man2/shmctl.2 b/man2/shmctl.2 : index 7bb503999941..bb00bbe21a57 100644 : --- a/man2/shmctl.2 : +++ b/man2/shmctl.2 : @@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ : .\" 2005-04-25, mtk -- noted aberrant Linux behavior w.r.t. new : .\" attaches to a segment that has already been marked for deletion. : .\" 2005-08-02, mtk: Added IPC_INFO, SHM_INFO, SHM_STAT descriptions. : +.\" 2018-02-13, dbueso: Added SHM_STAT_ANY description. : .\" : .TH SHMCTL 2 2017-09-15 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual" : .SH NAME : @@ -242,6 +243,18 @@ However, the : argument is not a segment identifier, but instead an index into : the kernel's internal array that maintains information about : all shared memory segments on the system. : +.TP : +.BR SHM_STAT_ANY " (Linux-specific)" : +Return a : +.I shmid_ds : +structure as for : +.BR SHM_STAT . : +However, the : +.I shm_perm.mode : +is not checked for read access for : +.IR shmid , : +resembing the behaviour of : +/proc/sysvipc/shm. : .PP : The caller can prevent or allow swapping of a shared : memory segment with the following \fIcmd\fP values: : @@ -287,7 +300,7 @@ operation returns the index of the highest used entry in the : kernel's internal array recording information about all : shared memory segments. : (This information can be used with repeated : -.B SHM_STAT : +.B SHM_STAT/SHM_STAT_ANY : operations to obtain information about all shared memory segments : on the system.) : A successful : @@ -328,7 +341,7 @@ isn't accessible. : \fIshmid\fP is not a valid identifier, or \fIcmd\fP : is not a valid command. : Or: for a : -.B SHM_STAT : +.B SHM_STAT/SHM_STAT_ANY : operation, the index value specified in : .I shmid : referred to an array slot that is currently unused.

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] 04e35f44 ("exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()") [2] 779f4e1c ("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.
