fs, proc: fix ABBA deadlock in case of execution attempt of map_files/ entries
map_files/ entries are never supposed to be executed, still curious minds might try to run them, which leads to the following deadlock ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.4.0-rc4-24406-g841e6a6 #121 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- bash/1556 is trying to acquire lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: do_lookup+0x267/0x2b1 but task is already holding lock: (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: prepare_bprm_creds+0x2d/0x69 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}: validate_chain+0x444/0x4f4 __lock_acquire+0x387/0x3f8 lock_acquire+0x12b/0x158 __mutex_lock_common+0x56/0x3a9 mutex_lock_killable_nested+0x40/0x45 lock_trace+0x24/0x59 proc_map_files_lookup+0x5a/0x165 __lookup_hash+0x52/0x73 do_lookup+0x276/0x2b1 walk_component+0x3d/0x114 do_last+0xfc/0x540 path_openat+0xd3/0x306 do_filp_open+0x3d/0x89 do_sys_open+0x74/0x106 sys_open+0x21/0x23 tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 -> #0 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}: check_prev_add+0x6a/0x1ef validate_chain+0x444/0x4f4 __lock_acquire+0x387/0x3f8 lock_acquire+0x12b/0x158 __mutex_lock_common+0x56/0x3a9 mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45 do_lookup+0x267/0x2b1 walk_component+0x3d/0x114 link_path_walk+0x1f9/0x48f path_openat+0xb6/0x306 do_filp_open+0x3d/0x89 open_exec+0x25/0xa0 do_execve_common+0xea/0x2f9 do_execve+0x43/0x45 sys_execve+0x43/0x5a stub_execve+0x6c/0xc0 This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex and when do_lookup happens we try to grab task->signal->cred_guard_mutex again in lock_trace. Fix it using plain ptrace_may_access() helper in proc_map_files_lookup() and in proc_map_files_readdir() instead of lock_trace(), the caller must be CAP_SYS_ADMIN granted anyway.
