commit 912193521b719fbfc2f16776febf5232fe8ba261 upstream.
Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module
using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet
loaded. But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result
of search_binary_handler().
If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice
causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions. It is
not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up.
Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1
to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.

____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit
17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes
all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.
The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That
means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
_before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
system.
This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
/sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
with ENOKEY unconditionally.

VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP"
This reverts commit 7f81c8890c15a10f5220bebae3b6dfae4961962a.
It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,
which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS.
The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have
arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags
(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")
It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

Commit a8bef8ff6ea1 ("mm: migration: avoid race between shift_arg_pages()
and rmap_walk() during migration by not migrating temporary stacks")
introduced a BUG_ON() to ensure that VM_STACK_FLAGS and
VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP do not overlap. The check is a compile time
one, so BUILD_BUG_ON is more appropriate.

Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring
it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us
using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact,
breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being
ever successful if the first candidate fails to load.
With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point
of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch
rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded)
probed paths.
Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread()
will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core
file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path
from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks
and pastes the result to the core file name itself.
This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16
character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries
with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself
changes its current->comm after exec.
So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment):
$ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E'
$ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890
$ ./cat45678901234567890
^Z
$ rm cat45678901234567890
$ fg
^\Quit (core dumped)
$ ls core*
we now get:
core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted)

Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/.
This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we
will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can
contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the
kernel.
To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it
should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we
can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.
The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.
The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.
Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.
Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.
This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.
Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
This patch:
Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.
The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.
Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.
Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.
check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.
Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both
CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards
version in the early process initialization phase for growsup
configuration.

Add the appropriate members into struct user_arg_ptr and teach

This allows us to remove the compat_do_execve() code from fs/compat.c
and reimplement compat_do_execve() as the trivial wrapper on top of
do_execve_common(is_compat => true).
In fact, this fixes another (minor) bug. "compat_uptr_t str" can
overflow after "str += len" in compat_copy_strings() if a 64bit
application execs via sys32_execve().
Unexport acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), fs/compat.c doesn't

Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.
Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.
This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.
This results in the following behavior changes.
* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
reported.
* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could
be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be
addressed with further patches.
* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop
code handles this correctly.
Oleg:
* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating
recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
group_stop_count.
* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly.
* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
RUNNING and the last behavior change.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.
compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.
Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.
Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c
execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.
With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.
Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

Presently do_execve() turns PF_KTHREAD off before search_binary_handler().
THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to
turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case.
This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the
executable file.
This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve()
directly. But fixing would be better.

We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following:

/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run
core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated
like below:
argc[10]=<12807486>
The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be
replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to
larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers,
the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this
will write out of corename array.

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.
This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.
This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.
When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.

fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.
Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for

Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set
->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to
dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task.
Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with
exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.

resolve limit
The first patch in this series introduced an init function to the
call_usermodehelper api so that processes could be customized by caller.
This patch takes advantage of that fact, by customizing the helper in
do_coredump to create the pipe and set its core limit to one (for our
recusrsion check). This lets us clean up the previous uglyness in the
usermodehelper internals and factor call_usermodehelper out entirely.
While I'm at it, we can also modify the helper setup to look for a core
limit value of 1 rather than zero for our recursion check

migration by not migrating temporary stacks
Page migration requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page
at all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it
is possible to leave one behind if the second rmap_walk fails to find
the page. If this page is later faulted, migration_entry_to_page() will
call BUG because the page is locked indicating the page was migrated by
the migration PTE not cleaned up. For example
kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
Call Trace:

RIP [<ffffffff811094ff>] migration_entry_wait+0xc1/0x129
There is a race between shift_arg_pages and migration that triggers this
bug. A temporary stack is setup during exec and later moved. If
migration moves a page in the temporary stack and the VMA is then removed
before migration completes, the migration PTE may not be found leading to
a BUG when the stack is faulted.
This patch causes pages within the temporary stack during exec to be
skipped by migration. It does this by marking the VMA covering the
temporary stack with an otherwise impossible combination of VMA flags.
These flags are cleared when the temporary stack is moved to its final
location.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of
pipes.
This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the
uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing
process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different
ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they
shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core
dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe
when it is created.
The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for
pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open
anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero

User visible change.
do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the
coredumping process gets the proper exit_code. Other tasks which share
the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent.
This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug. But I think Frank
Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour. Simple test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(void)
{
int stat;
if (!fork()) {
if (!vfork())
kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT);
}
wait(&stat);
printf("stat=%x\n", stat);
return 0;
}
Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed
by SIGQUIT. After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes
more sense.
Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets
"|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping
signal is visible to do_wait/etc.
