f57e515a1b kernel/pid.c: convert struct pid count to refcount_t
struct pid's count is an atomic_t field used as a refcount.  Use
refcount_t for it which is basically atomic_t but does additional
checking to prevent use-after-free bugs.

For memory ordering, the only change is with the following:

 -	if ((atomic_read(&pid->count) == 1) ||
 -	     atomic_dec_and_test(&pid->count)) {
 +	if (refcount_dec_and_test(&pid->count)) {
 		kmem_cache_free(ns->pid_cachep, pid);

Here the change is from: Fully ordered --> RELEASE + ACQUIRE (as per
refcount-vs-atomic.rst) This ACQUIRE should take care of making sure the
free happens after the refcount_dec_and_test().

The above hunk also removes atomic_read() since it is not needed for the
code to work and it is unclear how beneficial it is.  The removal lets
refcount_dec_and_test() check for cases where get_pid() happened before
the object was freed.

Merge tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds two main features.

   - First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process
     managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free
     way.

     The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is
     currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's
     death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an
     {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e.
     thread-group) exit.

   - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible
     to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created
     using CLONE_PIDFD.

     A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
     such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these
     processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This
     is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service
     managers such as systemd.

  Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests.

  It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done
  in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see
  some adoption:

   - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS
     kernels [1]

   - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to
     wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption.

   - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and
     CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too"

pid: add pidfd_open()
This adds the pidfd_open() syscall. It allows a caller to retrieve pollable
pidfds for a process which did not get created via CLONE_PIDFD, i.e. for a
process that is created via traditional fork()/clone() calls that is only
referenced by a PID:

int pidfd = pidfd_open(1234, 0);
ret = pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, SIGSTOP, NULL, 0);

With the introduction of pidfds through CLONE_PIDFD it is possible to
created pidfds at process creation time.
However, a lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these processes a
caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This is a problem for
Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service managers such as systemd.
Both are examples of tools that want to make use of pidfds to get reliable
notification of process exit for non-parents (pidfd polling) and race-free
signal sending (pidfd_send_signal()). They intend to switch to this API for
process supervision/management as soon as possible. Having no way to get
pollable pidfds from PID-only processes is one of the biggest blockers for
them in adopting this api. With pidfd_open() making it possible to retrieve
pidfds for PID-based processes we enable them to adopt this api.

In line with Arnd's recent changes to consolidate syscall numbers across
architectures, I have added the pidfd_open() syscall to all architectures
at the same time.

pidfd: add polling support
This patch adds polling support to pidfd.

Android low memory killer (LMK) needs to know when a process dies once
it is sent the kill signal. It does so by checking for the existence of
/proc/pid which is both racy and slow. For example, if a PID is reused
between when LMK sends a kill signal and checks for existence of the
PID, since the wrong PID is now possibly checked for existence.
Using the polling support, LMK will be able to get notified when a process
exists in race-free and fast way, and allows the LMK to do other things
(such as by polling on other fds) while awaiting the process being killed
to die.

For notification to polling processes, we follow the same existing
mechanism in the kernel used when the parent of the task group is to be
notified of a child's death (do_notify_parent). This is precisely when the
tasks waiting on a poll of pidfd are also awakened in this patch.

We have decided to include the waitqueue in struct pid for the following
reasons:
1. The wait queue has to survive for the lifetime of the poll. Including
   it in task_struct would not be option in this case because the task can
   be reaped and destroyed before the poll returns.

2. By including the struct pid for the waitqueue means that during
   de_thread(), the new thread group leader automatically gets the new
   waitqueue/pid even though its task_struct is different.

Appropriate test cases are added in the second patch to provide coverage of
all the cases the patch is handling.

f83606f5eb fork: report pid exhaustion correctly
Make the clone and fork syscalls return EAGAIN when the limit on the
number of pids /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is exceeded.

Currently, when the pid_max limit is exceeded, the kernel will return
ENOSPC from the fork and clone syscalls.  This is contrary to the
documented behaviour, which explicitly calls out the pid_max case as one
where EAGAIN should be returned.  It also leads to really confusing error
messages in userspace programs which will complain about a lack of disk
space when they fail to create processes/threads for this reason.

This error is being returned because alloc_pid() uses the idr api to find
a new pid; when there are none available, idr_alloc_cyclic() returns
-ENOSPC, and this is being propagated back to userspace.

This behaviour has been broken before, and was explicitly fixed in
commit 35f71bc0a0 ("fork: report pid reservation failure properly"),
so I think -EAGAIN is definitely the right thing to return in this case.
The current behaviour change dates from commit 95846ecf9d ("pid:
replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR AIP") and was I believe
unintentional.

This patch has no impact on the case where allocating a pid fails because
the child reaper for the namespace is dead; that case will still return
-ENOMEM.

6883f81aac pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id).  Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID.  With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.

Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array.  Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.

The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.

The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest.  The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

2c4704756c pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct
To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.

This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

f6bb2a2c0b xarray: add the xa_lock to the radix_tree_root
This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *.  32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes.  Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.

Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().

Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock.  If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

Merge tag 'init_task-20180117' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
 "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
  than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
  instead and expand out various macros.

  Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:

   (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
       openrisc.

   (2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
       init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.

       Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
       the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
       different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.

       We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.

       We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
       to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
       expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
       a lot of backslashes.

   (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.

   (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
       conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
       in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.

   (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.

   (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.

  These macros can then be discarded"

c0ee554906 pid: Handle failure to allocate the first pid in a pid namespace
With the replacement of the pid bitmap and hashtable with an idr in
alloc_pid started occassionally failing when allocating the first pid
in a pid namespace.  Things were not completely reset resulting in
the first allocated pid getting the number 2 (not 1).  Which
further resulted in ns->proc_mnt not getting set and eventually
causing an oops in proc_flush_task.

e8cfbc245e pid: remove pidhash
pidhash is no longer required as all the information can be looked up
from idr tree.  nr_hashed represented the number of pids that had been
hashed.  Since, nr_hashed and PIDNS_HASH_ADDING are no longer relevant,
it has been renamed to pid_allocated and PIDNS_ADDING respectively.

95846ecf9d pid: replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR API
Patch series "Replacing PID bitmap implementation with IDR API", v4.

This series replaces kernel bitmap implementation of PID allocation with
IDR API.  These patches are written to simplify the kernel by replacing
custom code with calls to generic code.

The following are the stats for pid and pid_namespace object files
before and after the replacement.  There is a noteworthy change between
the IDR and bitmap implementation.

This patch (of 2):

Replace the current bitmap implementation for Process ID allocation.
Functions that are no longer required, for example, free_pidmap(),
alloc_pidmap(), etc.  are removed.  The rest of the functions are
modified to use the IDR API.  The change was made to make the PID
allocation less complex by replacing custom code with calls to generic
API.

dd1c1f2f20 pids: make task_tgid_nr_ns() safe
This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task->group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.

We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups.  Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

8896c23d2e pidns: disable pid allocation if pid_ns_prepare_proc() is failed in alloc_pid()
alloc_pidmap() advances pid_namespace::last_pid.  When first pid
allocation fails, then next created process will have pid 2 and
pid_ns_prepare_proc() won't be called.  So, pid_namespace::proc_mnt will
never be initialized (not to mention that there won't be a child
reaper).

I saw crash stack of such case on kernel 3.10:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
    IP: proc_flush_task+0x8f/0x1b0
    Call Trace:
        release_task+0x3f/0x490

        do_wait+0x11f/0x280
        SyS_wait4+0x7d/0x110

We may fix this by restore of last_pid in 0 or by prohibiting of futher
allocations.  Since there was a similar issue in Oleg Nesterov's commit
314a8ad0f1 ("pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure").
and it was fixed via prohibiting allocation, let's follow this way, and
do the same.

287980e49f remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses
Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

5d097056c9 kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

81b1a832d7 pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns()
I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
__task_pid_nr_ns() :

pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :

    if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH

Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
top" crashing hosts :(

get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.

35f71bc0a0 fork: report pid reservation failure properly
copy_process will report any failure in alloc_pid as ENOMEM currently
which is misleading because the pid allocation might fail not only when
the memory is short but also when the pid space is consumed already.

The current man page even mentions this case:

: EAGAIN
:
:       A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered.
:       There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the
:       RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which
:       limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was
:       reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes
:       and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see
:       proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max,
:       was reached (see proc(5)).

so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt.  documentation.  POSIX man
page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached.

This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we
return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure.  This will make behavior of
fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX.

alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead
(the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no
good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally
returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per
Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7)

: If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel
: terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal.
: This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for
: the correct operation of a PID namespace.  In this case, a subsequent
: fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is
: not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init"
: process has terminated.

and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to
ENOMEM for this case.

24c037ebf5 exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting
alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns() if it
fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting
child_reaper.

We could simply move get_pid_ns() down to successful return, but this fix
tries to be as trivial as possible.

The issue is that when the task group leader of an init process exits
before other tasks of the init process when the init process finally
exits it will be a secondary task sleeping in zap_pid_ns_processes and
waiting to wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to two.  This
case waits forever as free_pid only sends a wake up when the number of
hashed pids drops to 1.

To correct this the simple strategy of sending a possibly unncessary
wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to 2 is adopted.

Sending one extraneous wake up is relatively harmless, at worst we
waste a little cpu time in the rare case when a pid namespace
appropaches exiting.

We can detect the case when the pid namespace drops to just two pids
hashed race free in free_pid.

Dereferencing pid_ns->child_reaper with the pidmap_lock held is safe
without out the tasklist_lock because it is guaranteed that the
detach_pid will be called on the child_reaper before it is freed and
detach_pid calls __change_pid which calls free_pid which takes the
pidmap_lock.  __change_pid only calls free_pid if this is the
last use of the pid.  For a thread that is not the thread group leader
the threads pid will only ever have one user because a threads pid
is not allowed to be the pid of a process, of a process group or
a session.  For a thread that is a thread group leader all of
the other threads of that process will be reaped before it is allowed
for the thread group leader to be reaped ensuring there will only
be one user of the threads pid as a process pid.  Furthermore
because the thread is the init process of a pid namespace all of the
other processes in the pid namespace will have also been already freed
leading to the fact that the pid will not be used as a session pid or
a process group pid for any other running process.

8190773985 kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): don't add the uninitialized child to thread/task/pid lists
copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID).  This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid.  Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.

We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.

And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.

attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

8db049b3d6 kernel/pid.c: improve flow of a loop inside alloc_pidmap.
find_next_offset() searches for an available "cleaned bit" in the
respective pid bitmap (page), so returns the offset if found, otherwise
it returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE.

For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so
there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles).

Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after the checking
(offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully! Another point: If (offset
< BITS_PER_PAGE) results in a "failure", then mk_pid would be called
again afterwards.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

c876ad7682 pidns: Stop pid allocation when init dies
Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence.
- pid 1 becomes a zombie
- setns(thepidns), fork,...
- reaping pid 1.
- The injected processes exiting.

Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and
instead following a stale pointer.

That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in
the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.

Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid
namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid
namespace is reaped.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."
