Make sure to return a proper negative error code from copy_process() when anon_inode_getfile() fails with CLONE_PIDFD.

2019-06-29fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk->stackAndrea Arcangeli1-1/+5
Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail") corrected two instances, but there was a third instance of this bug. Without setting tsk->stack, if memcg_charge_kernel_stack fails, it'll execute free_thread_stack() on a dangling pointer. Enterprise kernels are compiled with VMAP_STACK=y so this isn't critical, but custom VMAP_STACK=n builds should have some performance advantage, with the drawback of risking to fail fork because compaction didn't succeed. So as long as VMAP_STACK=n is a supported option it's worth fixing it upstream.

2019-06-27copy_process(): don't use ksys_close() on cleanupsAl Viro1-28/+18
anon_inode_getfd() should be used *ONLY* in situations when we are guaranteed to be past the last failure point (including copying the descriptor number to userland, at that). And ksys_close() should not be used for cleanups at all. anon_inode_getfile() is there for all nontrivial cases like that. Just use that...

2019-06-24fork: don't check parent_tidptr with CLONE_PIDFDDmitry V. Levin1-12/+0
Give userspace a cheap and reliable way to tell whether CLONE_PIDFD is supported by the kernel or not. The easiest way is to pass an invalid file descriptor value in parent_tidptr, perform the syscall and verify that parent_tidptr has been changed to a valid file descriptor value. CLONE_PIDFD uses parent_tidptr to return pidfds. CLONE_PARENT_SETTID will use parent_tidptr to return the tid of the parent. The two flags cannot be used together. Old kernels that only support CLONE_PARENT_SETTID will not verify the value pointed to by parent_tidptr. This behavior is unchanged even with the introduction of CLONE_PIDFD. However, if CLONE_PIDFD is specified the kernel will currently check the value pointed to by parent_tidptr before placing the pidfd in the memory pointed to. EINVAL will be returned if the value in parent_tidptr is not 0. If CLONE_PIDFD is supported and fd 0 is closed, then the returned pidfd can and likely will be 0 and parent_tidptr will be unchanged. This means userspace must either check CLONE_PIDFD support beforehand or check that fd 0 is not closed when invoking CLONE_PIDFD. The check for pidfd == 0 was introduced during the v5.2 merge window by commit b3e583825266 ("clone: add CLONE_PIDFD") to ensure that CLONE_PIDFD could be potentially extended by passing in flags through the return argument. However, that extension would look horrible, and with the upcoming introduction of the clone3 syscall in v5.3 there is no need to extend legacy clone syscall this way. (Even if it would need to be extended, CLONE_DETACHED can be reused with CLONE_PIDFD.) So remove the pidfd == 0 check. Userspace that needs to be portable to kernels without CLONE_PIDFD support can then be advised to initialize pidfd to -1 and check the pidfd value returned by CLONE_PIDFD.

2019-05-14userfaultfd: use RCU to free the task struct when fork failsAndrea Arcangeli1-2/+29
The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm->owner. get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() failing fork() ---- --- task = mm->owner mm->owner = NULL; free(task) if (task) *task; /* use after free */ The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path. That is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() (left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing the task structure. An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to succeed. Such a change would require more changes because it would create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be safe. This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code to set mm->owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by mm->owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing. The userfaultfd methods can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland. This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build time.

2019-05-10fork: do not release lock that wasn't takenChristian Brauner1-2/+3
Avoid calling cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() without having called cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() first. During process creation we need to check whether the cgroup we are in allows us to fork. To perform this check the cgroup needs to guard itself against threadgroup changes and takes a lock. Prior to CLONE_PIDFD the cleanup target "bad_fork_free_pid" would also need to call cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() because said lock had already been taken. However, this is not the case anymore with the addition of CLONE_PIDFD. We are now allocating a pidfd before we check whether the cgroup we're in can fork and thus prior to taking the lock. So when copy_process() fails at the right step it would release a lock we haven't taken. This bug is not even very subtle to be honest. It's just not very clear from the naming of cgroup_threadgroup_change_{begin,end}() that a lock is taken.

Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information thus becomes rather trivial. As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd, signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small. The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional. A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d". To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.

2019-05-07clone: add CLONE_PIDFDChristian Brauner1-4/+103
This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pid file descriptors at process creation time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. As spotted by Linus, there is exactly one bit for clone() left. CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on the anonymous inode implementation in the kernel that will also be used to implement the new mount api. They serve as a simple opaque handle on pids. Logically, this makes it possible to interpret a pidfd differently, narrowing or widening the scope of various operations (e.g. signal sending). Thus, a pidfd cannot just refer to a tgid, but also a tid, or in theory - given appropriate flag arguments in relevant syscalls - a process group or session. A pidfd does not represent a privilege. This does not imply it cannot ever be that way but for now this is not the case. A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d". As suggested by Oleg, with CLONE_PIDFD the pidfd is returned in the parent_tidptr argument of clone. This has the advantage that we can give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time. To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with a sample program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD, and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>. The sample program can easily be translated into a helper that would be suitable for inclusion in libc so that users don't have to worry about writing it themselves.

2019-04-30uprobes: Initialize uprobes earlierNadav Amit1-0/+1
In order to have a separate address space for text poking, we need to duplicate init_mm early during start_kernel(). This, however, introduces a problem since uprobes functions are called from dup_mmap(), but uprobes is still not initialized in this early stage. Since uprobes initialization is necassary for fork, and since all the dependant initialization has been done when fork is initialized (percpu and vmalloc), move uprobes initialization to fork_init(). It does not seem uprobes introduces any security problem for the poking_mm. Crash and burn if uprobes initialization fails, similarly to other early initializations. Change the init_probes() name to probes_init() to match other early initialization functions name convention.

2019-04-19cgroup: cgroup v2 freezerRoman Gushchin1-0/+2
Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory) for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality. This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2. Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach. It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup. This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case), it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system. Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads. If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen, but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered. * PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery is blocked in frozen state. There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface design principles: 1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on: the functionality is always available and is represented by cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files. 2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file. Any hierarchical configuration is allowed. 3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no dedicated transitional states. 4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy (create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups) no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

2019-02-07mm: make mm->pinned_vm an atomic64 counterDavidlohr Bueso1-1/+1
Taking a sleeping lock to _only_ increment a variable is quite the overkill, and pretty much all users do this. Furthermore, some drivers (ie: infiniband and scif) that need pinned semantics can go to quite some trouble to actually delay via workqueue (un)accounting for pinned pages when not possible to acquire it. By making the counter atomic we no longer need to hold the mmap_sem and can simply some code around it for pinned_vm users. The counter is 64-bit such that we need not worry about overflows such as rdma user input controlled from userspace.

2019-01-08fork: record start_time lateDavid Herrmann1-2/+11
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 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") will result in fork failing if allocating a kernel stack for a task in dup_task_struct exceeds the kernel memory allowance for that cgroup. Unfortunately, it also results in a crash. This is due to the code jumping to free_stack and calling free_thread_stack when the memcg kernel stack charge fails, but without tsk->stack pointing at the freshly allocated stack. This in turn results in the vfree_atomic in free_thread_stack oopsing with a backtrace like this: #5 [ffffc900244efc88] die at ffffffff8101f0ab #6 [ffffc900244efcb8] do_general_protection at ffffffff810
