2012-07-30uprobes: Introduce vaddr_to_offset(vma, vaddr)Oleg Nesterov
Add the new helper, vaddr_to_offset(vma, vaddr) which returns the offset in vma->vm_file this vaddr is mapped at. Change build_probe_list() and find_active_uprobe() to use the new helper, the next patch adds another user.

2012-07-30uprobes: Teach build_probe_list() to consider the rangeOleg Nesterov
Currently build_probe_list() builds the list of all uprobes attached to the given inode, and the caller should filter out those who don't fall into the [start,end) range, this is sub-optimal. This patch turns find_least_offset_node() into find_node_in_range() which returns the first node inside the [min,max] range, and changes build_probe_list() to use this node as a starting point for rb_prev() and rb_next() to find all other nodes the caller needs. The resulting list is no longer sorted but we do not care. This can speed up both build_probe_list() and the callers, but there is another reason to introduce find_node_in_range(). It can be used to figure out whether the given vma has uprobes or not, this will be needed soon. While at it, shift INIT_LIST_HEAD(tmp_list) into build_probe_list().

2012-07-30uprobes: Suppress uprobe_munmap() from mmput()Oleg Nesterov
uprobe_munmap() does get_user_pages() and it is also called from the final mmput()->exit_mmap() path. This slows down exit/mmput() for no reason, and I think it is simply dangerous/wrong to try to fault-in a page into the dying mm. If nothing else, this happens after the last sync_mm_rss(), afaics handle_mm_fault() can change the task->rss_stat and make the subsequent check_mm() unhappy. Change uprobe_munmap() to check mm->mm_users != 0.

2012-07-30uprobes: Uprobe_mmap/munmap needs list_for_each_entry_safe()Oleg Nesterov
The bug was introduced by me in 449d0d7c ("uprobes: Simplify the usage of uprobe->pending_list"). Yes, we do not care about uprobe->pending_list after return and nobody can remove the current list entry, but put_uprobe(uprobe) can actually free it and thus we need list_for_each_safe().

2012-07-30uprobes: Clean up and document write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page)Oleg Nesterov
The comment above write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page) tells about the race with do_wp_page(). I don't really understand which exactly race it means, but afaics this lock_page() was not enough to close all races with do_wp_page(). Anyway, since: 77fc4af1b59d uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing this code is always called with ->mmap_sem held for writing, so we can forget about do_wp_page(). However, we can't simply remove this lock_page(), and the only (afaics) reason is __replace_page()->try_to_free_swap(). Nothing in write_opcode() needs it, move it into __replace_page() and fix the comment.

2012-07-30uprobes: Kill write_opcode()->lock_page(new_page)Oleg Nesterov
write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody can see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl lock, and we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock(). If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock the new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.

2012-07-30uprobes: __replace_page() should not use page_address_in_vma()Oleg Nesterov
page_address_in_vma(old_page) in __replace_page() is ugly and wrong. The caller already knows the correct virtual address, this page was found by get_user_pages(vaddr). However, page_address_in_vma() can actually fail if page->mapping was cleared by __delete_from_page_cache() after get_user_pages() returns. But this means the race with page reclaim, write_opcode() should not fail, it should retry and read this page again. Probably the race with remove_mapping() is not possible due to page_freeze_refs() logic, but afaics at least shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache() can clear ->mapping. We could change __replace_page() to return -EAGAIN in this case, but it would be better to simply use the caller's vaddr and rely on page_check_address().

2012-07-30uprobes: Don't recheck vma/f_mapping in write_opcode()Oleg Nesterov
write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is pointless. The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(), has already done these checks under mmap_sem. To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can rely on build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).

2012-07-29fs: add link restrictionsKees Cook
This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS. Symlinks: A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner. Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find: 1996 Aug, Zygo Blaxell http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=87602167419830&w=2 1996 Oct, Andrew Tridgell http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9610.2/0086.html 1997 Dec, Albert D Cahalan http://lkml.org/lkml/1997/12/16/4 2005 Feb, Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.0/1896.html 2010 May, Kees Cook https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/30/144 Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as: - Violates POSIX. - POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow a broken specification at the cost of security. - Might break unknown applications that use this feature. - Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found that rely on this behavior. - Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL. - True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability. - This should live in the core VFS. - This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135) - This should live in an LSM. - This should live in the core VFS. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/2/188) Hardlinks: On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually upgrade a system fully. The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write access to the existing file. Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX, which states "the implementation may require that the calling process has permission to access the existing file"[1]. This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon, though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

2012-07-26posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitionsJosh Boyer
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

With the current state of irq_domain, the reverse map is always updated when new IRQs get mapped. This means that the irq_find_mapping() function can be simplified to execute the revmap lookup functions unconditionally This patch adds lookup functions for the revmaps that don't yet have one and removes the slow path lookup code path. v8: Broke out unrelated changes into separate patches. Rebased on Paul's irq association patches. v7: Rebased to irqdomain/next for v3.4 and applied before the removal of 'hint' v6: Remove the slow path entirely. The only place where the slow path could get called is for a linear mapping if the hwirq number is larger than the linear revmap size. There shouldn't be any interrupt controllers that do that. v5: rewrite to not use a ->revmap() callback. It is simpler, smaller, safer and faster to open code each of the revmap lookups directly into irq_find_mapping() via a switch statement. v4: Fix build failure on incorrect variable reference.

Pull networking changes from David S Miller: 1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB trie and use prebuilt routes cached there. No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance, no matter what the pattern of traffic we service. This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who have helped along the way. I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to fix things :-) The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description of the motivations and implementation issues. 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on input. 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao Feng. 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from Yuval Mintz. 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with embedded gotos. 10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels, this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments, from Alexander Duyck. 12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from Eric Dumazet. 13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up fastopen data. 14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S.

2012-07-24time: Fix casting issue in tk_set_xtime and tk_xtime_addJohn Stultz
commit 1e75fa8b (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec) introduced helper functions which apply a timespec to the core internal timekeeper data. The internal storage type is u64. The timespec tv_nsec value must be shifted before set or added to the internal value. tv_nsec is a long, which is 32bit on a 32bit system, so without casting tv_nsec to u64 we lose the bits which are shifted over the 32bit boundary. Add the proper typecasts.

If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this, as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c1 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works.

2012-07-24sched: Improve balance_cpu() to consider other cpus in its group as target ↵Srivatsa Vaddagiri
of (pinned) task Current load balance scheme requires only one cpu in a sched_group (balance_cpu) to look at other peer sched_groups for imbalance and pull tasks towards itself from a busy cpu. Tasks thus pulled by balance_cpu could later get picked up by cpus that are in the same sched_group as that of balance_cpu. This scheme however fails to pull tasks that are not allowed to run on balance_cpu (but are allowed to run on other cpus in its sched_group). That can affect fairness and in some worst case scenarios cause starvation. Consider a two core (2 threads/core) system running tasks as below: Core0 Core1 / \ / \ C0 C1 C2 C3 | | | | v v v v F0 T1 F1 [idle] T2 F0 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C0) F1 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C2) T1 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1) T2 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1 and C2) F1 could become a cpu hog, which will starve T2 unless C1 pulls it. Between C0 and C1 however, C0 is required to look for imbalance between cores, which will fail to pull T2 towards Core0. T2 will starve eternally in this case. The same scenario can arise in presence of non-rt tasks as well (say we replace F1 with high irq load). We tackle this problem by having balance_cpu move pinned tasks to one of its sibling cpus (where they can run). We first check if load balance goal can be met by ignoring pinned tasks, failing which we retry move_tasks() with a new env->dst_cpu. This patch modifies load balance semantics on who can move load towards a given cpu in a given sched_domain. Before this patch, a given_cpu or a ilb_cpu acting on behalf of an idle given_cpu is responsible for moving load to given_cpu. With this patch applied, balance_cpu can in addition decide on moving some load to a given_cpu. There is a remote possibility that excess load could get moved as a result of this (balance_cpu and given_cpu/ilb_cpu deciding *independently* and at *same* time to move some load to a given_cpu). However we should see less of such conflicting decisions in practice and moreover subsequent load balance cycles should correct the excess load moved to given_cpu.

2012-07-24cpusets, hotplug: Implement cpuset tree traversal in a helper functionSrivatsa S. Bhat
At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example, the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also. As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-07-24CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resumeSrivatsa S. Bhat
In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations. However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to exactly the same state it was in before suspend. In order to achieve that, do the following: 1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all. In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the suspend/resume path. 2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.) 3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in before suspend. Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle).

2012-07-22deal with task_work callbacks adding more workAl Viro
It doesn't matter on normal return to userland path (we'll recheck the NOTIFY_RESUME flag anyway), but in case of exit_task_work() we'll need that as soon as we get callbacks capable of triggering more task_work_add(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22move exit_task_work() past exit_files() et.al.Al Viro
... and get rid of PF_EXITING check in task_work_add(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22merge task_work and rcu_head, get rid of separate allocation for keyring caseAl Viro
task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22trim task_work: get rid of hlistAl Viro
layout based on Oleg's suggestion; single-linked list, task->task_works points to the last element, forward pointer from said last element points to head. I'd still prefer much more regular scheme with two pointers in task_work, but... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22trimming task_work: kill ->dataAl Viro
get rid of the only user of ->data; this is _not_ the final variant - in the end we'll have task_work and rcu_head identical and just use cred->rcu, at which point the separate allocation will be gone completely. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
