Commit 7b2fd697427e73c81d5fa659efd91bd07d303b0e in the historical GIT tree
stopped calling the readdir member of a file_operations struct with the big
kernel lock held, and fixed up all the readdir functions to do their own
locking. However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in
vxfs_readdir, but no call to lock_kernel(). Fix this by adding a call to

It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache. This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.
To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies. The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs. So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits. This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.
Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one:
(warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete
patch description)
it's an ABCDA deadlock:
A iprune_mutex
B inode->inotify_mutex
C ih->mutex
D dev->ev_mutex
The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes()
int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb)
{
int busy;
LIST_HEAD(throw_away);
mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex);
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes);
where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the
mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch():
s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode,
u32 mask)
{
...
mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
mutex_lock(&ih->mutex);
The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
inotify_rm_wd does
mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
notify_dev_queue_event() which does
mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);
(this strictly is a BCD relationship)
The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:
[<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270
[<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9
[<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244
[<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0
[<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821
[<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb
[<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122
[<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140
inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.
And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
involving 4 locks.
The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.
This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.
So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

Fix execution through the FDPIC binfmt of programs stored on ramfs by
preventing the ramfs mmap() returning successfully on a private mapping of
a ramfs file. This causes NOMMU mmap to make a copy of the mapped portion
of the file and map that instead.
This could be improved by granting direct mapping access to read-only
private mappings for which the data is stored on a contiguous run of pages.
However, this is only likely to be the case if the file was extended with
truncate before being written.
ramfs is left to map the file directly for shared mappings so that SYSV IPC
and POSIX shared memory both still work.

Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly
detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device
(see patch below).
My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the
policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions.
When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy
field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field.
This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be
'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because
partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan:
| i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other
| quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota
| locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and
| setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code
| while holding i_mutex on a quota file...
The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the
(per filesystem) low level quota write function. For this special case we
need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of
the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex. I trust Jan on his blue eyes that
this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what
it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules.
The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the
deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be
used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems. This makes
the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels:
I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA
Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks.
Taken from RHEL4 kernel update.
From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>
For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is
TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for
user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong
for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations
of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately
converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted
yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded.
The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error
paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already
committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the
task's original address space).
The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two
problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be
triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a
malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that
causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec
handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly,
because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec()
failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer
exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate
the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a
fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will
override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space).
The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were
two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior
sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN.
And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS
in such kind of scenario:
open(, O_TRUNC...)
ftruncate(, 1024)
ftruncate(, 0)
Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen
because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for
last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but
`ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this.
To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch
removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to
call ufs_truncate.

In the typical v2/v3 case the only new filehandles used as arguments to
operations are filehandles taken directly off the wire, which don't get
dentries until fh_verify() is called.
But in v4 the filehandles that are arguments to operations were often created
by previous operations (putrootfh, lookup, etc.) using fh_compose, which sets
the dentry in the filehandle without calling nfsd_setuser().
This also means that, for example, if filesystem B is mounted on filesystem A,
and filesystem A is exported without root-squashing, then a client can bypass
the rootsquashing on B using a compound that starts at a filehandle in A,
crosses into B using lookups, and then does stuff in B.

nfsd tries to return to a client the same sort of filehandle as was used by
the client. This removes some filehandle aliasing issues and means that a
server upgrade followed by a downgrade will not confused clients not restarted
during that time.
However when crossing a mountpoint, the filehandle used for one filesystem
doesn't provide any useful information on what sort of filehandle should be
used on the other, and can provide misleading information. So if the
reference filehandle is on a different filesystem to the one being generated,
ignore it.

The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no
essential function for the VM.
We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.
In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.
The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.
The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).
Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

The current NR_FILE_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load
calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages. However, that is not
true. NR_FILE_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages. This patch
separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous
pages per zone.
It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages per zone
and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there are none.
Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in
get_dirty_limit. Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that
calculation?
Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages reported
in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics. This may affect
user space tools that monitor these counters! NR_FILE_MAPPED works like
NR_FILE_DIRTY. It is only valid for pagecache pages.

Currently a single atomic variable is used to establish the size of the page

Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter

Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off.

nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of
a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining
when we need to reclaim memory in a zone.
We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new
per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off
from NR_MAPPED in the next patch).
We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations. This avoids the
looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap +
zone reclaim).

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.
It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).
There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.
(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

This patch removes tasklist_lock from zap_threads().
This is safe wrt:
do_exit:
The caller holds mm->mmap_sem. This means that task which
shares the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm(), so it can't be
unhashed from init_task.tasks or ->thread_group lists.
fork:
None of sub-threads can fork after zap_process(leader). All
processes which were created before this point should be
visible to zap_threads() because copy_process() adds the new
process to the tail of init_task.tasks list, and ->siglock
lock/unlock provides a memory barrier.
de_thread:
It does list_replace_rcu(&leader->tasks, ¤t->tasks).
So zap_threads() will see either old or new leader, it does
not matter. However, it can change p->sighand, so we should
use lock_task_sighand() in zap_process().

Below is a patch to add a new /proc/self/attr/sockcreate A process may write a
context into this interface and all subsequent sockets created will be labeled
with that context. This is the same idea as the fscreate interface where a
process can specify the label of a file about to be created. At this time one
envisioned user of this will be xinetd. It will be able to better label
sockets for the actual services. At this time all sockets take the label of
the creating process, so all xinitd sockets would just be labeled the same.
I tested this by creating a tcp sender and listener. The sender was able to
write to this new proc file and then create sockets with the specified label.
I am able to be sure the new label was used since the avc denial messages
kicked out by the kernel included both the new security permission
setsockcreate and all the socket denials were for the new label, not the label
of the running process.

In process of getting proc_fd_access_allowed to work it has developed a few
warts. In particular the special case that always allows introspection and
the special case to allow inspection of kernel threads.
The special case for introspection is needed for /proc/self/mem.
The special case for kernel threads really should be overridable
by security modules.
So consolidate these checks into ptrace.c:may_attach().
The check to always allow introspection is trivial.
The check to allow access to kernel threads, and zombies is a little
trickier. mem_read and mem_write already verify an mm exists so it isn't
needed twice. proc_fd_access_allowed only doesn't want a check to verify
task->mm exits, s it prevents all access to kernel threads. So just move
the task->mm check into ptrace_attach where it is needed for practical
reasons.
I did a quick audit and none of the security modules in the kernel seem to
care if they are passed a task without an mm into security_ptrace. So the
above move should be safe and it allows security modules to come up with
more restrictive policy.

Since 2.2 we have been doing a chroot check to see if it is appropriate to
return a read or follow one of these magic symlinks. The chroot check was
asking a question about the visibility of files to the calling process and
it was actually checking the destination process, and not the files
themselves. That test was clearly bogus.
In my first pass through I simply fixed the test to check the visibility of
the files themselves. That naive approach to fixing the permissions was
too strict and resulted in cases where a task could not even see all of
it's file descriptors.
What has disturbed me about relaxing this check is that file descriptors
are per-process private things, and they are occasionaly used a user space
capability tokens. Looking a little farther into the symlink path on /proc
I did find userid checks and a check for capability (CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE) so
there were permissions checking this.
But I was still concerned about privacy. Besides /proc there is only one
other way to find out this kind of information, and that is ptrace. ptrace
has been around for a long time and it has a well established security
model.
So after thinking about it I finally realized that the permission checks
that make sense are the permission checks applied to ptrace_attach. The
checks are simple per process, and won't cause nasty surprises for people
coming from less capable unices.
Unfortunately there is one case that the current ptrace_attach test does
not cover: Zombies and kernel threads. Single stepping those kinds of
processes is impossible. Being able to see which file descriptors are open
on these tasks is important to lsof, fuser and friends. So for these
special processes I made the rule you can't find out unless you have
CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
These proc permission checks should now conform to the principle of least
surprise. As well as using much less code to implement :)

The code doesn't need to sleep to when making this check so I can just do the
comparison and not worry about the reference counts.
TODO: While looking at this I realized that my original cleanup did not push
the permission check far enough down into the stack. The call of
proc_check_dentry_visible needs to move out of the generic proc
readlink/follow link code and into the individual get_link instances.
Otherwise the shared resources checks are not quite correct (shared
files_struct does not require a shared fs_struct), and there are races with
unshare.

Incrementally update my proc-dont-lock-task_structs-indefinitely patches so
that they work with struct pid instead of struct task_ref.
Mostly this is a straight 1-1 substitution.

Every inode in /proc holds a reference to a struct task_struct. If a
directory or file is opened and remains open after the the task exits this
pinning continues. With 8K stacks on a 32bit machine the amount pinned per
file descriptor is about 10K.
Normally I would figure a reasonable per user process limit is about 100
processes. With 80 processes, with a 1000 file descriptors each I can trigger
the 00M killer on a 32bit kernel, because I have pinned about 800MB of useless
data.
This patch replaces the struct task_struct pointer with a pointer to a struct
task_ref which has a struct task_struct pointer. The so the pinning of dead
tasks does not happen.
The code now has to contend with the fact that the task may now exit at any
time. Which is a little but not muh more complicated.
With this change it takes about 1000 processes each opening up 1000 file
descriptors before I can trigger the OOM killer. Much better.

Currently in /proc at several different places we define buffers to hold a
process id, or a file descriptor . In most of them we use either a hard coded
number or a different define. Modify them all to use PROC_NUMBUF, so the code
has a chance of being maintained.

Like the bug Oleg spotted in first_tid there was also a small off by one
error in first_tgid, when a seek was done on the /proc directory. This
fixes that and changes the code structure to make it a little more obvious
what is going on.

Since we no longer need the tasklist_lock for get_task_struct the lookup
methods no longer need the tasklist_lock.
This just depends on my previous patch that makes get_task_struct() rcu

We don't need the tasklist_lock to safely iterate through processes
anymore.
This depends on my previous to task patches that make get_task_struct rcu
safe, and that make next_task() rcu safe. I haven't gotten
first_tid/next_tid yet only because next_thread is missing an
rcu_dereference.

There are a couple of problems this patch addresses.
- /proc/<tgid>/task currently does not work correctly if you stop reading
in the middle of a directory.
- /proc/ currently requires a full pass through the task list with
the tasklist lock held, to determine there are no more processes to read.
- The hand rolled integer to string conversion does not properly running
out of buffer space.
- We seem to be batching reading of pids from the tasklist without reason,
and complicating the logic of the code.
This patch addresses that by changing how tasks are processed. A
first_<task_type> function is built that handles restarts, and a
next_<task_type> function is built that just advances to the next task.
first_<task_type> when it detects a restart usually uses find_task_by_pid. If
that doesn't work because there has been a seek on the directory, or we have
already given a complete directory listing, it first checks the number tasks
of that type, and only if we are under that count does it walk through all of
the tasks to find the one we are interested in.
The code that fills in the directory is simpler because there is only a single
for loop.
The hand rolled integer to string conversion is replaced by snprintf which
should handle the the out of buffer case correctly.

proc_lookup and task exiting are not synchronized, although some of the
previous code may have suggested that. Every time before we reuse a dentry
namei.c calls d_op->derevalidate which prevents us from reusing a stale dcache
entry. Unfortunately it does not prevent us from returning a stale dcache
entry. This race has been explicitly plugged in proc_pid_lookup but there is
nothing to confine it to just that proc lookup function.
So to prevent the race I call revalidate explictily in all of the proc lookup
functions after I call d_add, and report an error if the revalidate does not
succeed.
Years ago Al Viro did something similar but those changes got lost in the
churn.

To keep the dcache from filling up with dead /proc entries we flush them on
process exit. However over the years that code has gotten hairy with a
dentry_pointer and a lock in task_struct and misdocumented as a correctness
feature.
I have rewritten this code to look and see if we have a corresponding entry in
the dcache and if so flush it on process exit. This removes the extra fields
in the task_struct and allows me to trivially handle the case of a
/proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> entry as well as the current /proc/<pid> entries.

All of the functions for proc_maps_operations are already defined in
task_mmu.c so move the operations structure to keep the functionality
together.
Since task_nommu.c implements a dummy version of /proc/<pid>/maps give it a
simplified version of proc_maps_operations that it can modify to best suit its
needs.

Use getattr to get an accurate link count when needed. This is cheaper and
more accurate than trying to derive it by walking the thread list of a
process.
Especially as it happens when needed stat instead of at readdir time.

Long ago and far away in 2.2 we started checking to ensure the files we
displayed in /proc were visible to the current process. It was an
unsophisticated time and no one was worried about functions full of FIXMES in
a stable kernel. As time passed the function became sacred and was enshrined
in the shrine of how things have always been. The fixes came in but only to
keep the function working no one really remembering or documenting why we did
things that way.
The intent and the functionality make a lot of sense. Don't let /proc be an
access point for files a process can see no other way. The implementation
however is completely wrong.
We are currently checking the root directories of the two processes, we are
not checking the actual file descriptors themselves.
We are strangely checking with a permission method instead of just when we use
the data.
This patch fixes the logic to actually check the file descriptors and make a
note that implementing a permission method for this part of /proc almost
certainly indicates a bug in the reasoning.

The inode operations only exist to support the proc_permission function.
Currently mem_read and mem_write have all the same permission checks as
ptrace. The fs check makes no sense in this context, and we can trivially get
around it by calling ptrace.
So simply the code by killing the strange weird case.

First we can access every /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> directory as /proc/<pid> so
proc_task_permission is not usefully limiting visibility.
Second having related filesystems information should have nothing to do with
process visibility. kill does not implement any checks like that.
