There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

<title>binfmt_elf: take the mmap lock around find_extend_vma()</title>

create_elf_tables() runs after setup_new_exec(), so other tasks can
already access our new mm and do things like process_madvise() on it.  (At
the time I'm writing this commit, process_madvise() is not in mainline
yet, but has been in akpm's tree for some time.)

While I believe that there are currently no APIs that would actually allow
another process to mess up our VMA tree (process_madvise() is limited to
MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT, and uring and userfaultfd cannot reach an mm
under which no syscalls have been executed yet), this seems like an
accident waiting to happen.

Let's make sure that we always take the mmap lock around GUP paths as long
as another process might be able to see the mm.

(Yes, this diff looks suspicious because we drop the lock before doing
anything with `vma`, but that's because we actually don't do anything with
it apart from the NULL check.)

<title>binfmt_elf, binfmt_elf_fdpic: use a VMA list snapshot</title>
<updated>2020-10-16T18:11:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=a07279c9a8cd7dbd321640ff7210591599ee00a4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a07279c9a8cd7dbd321640ff7210591599ee00a4</id>
<content type='text'>
In both binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic, use a new helper
dump_vma_snapshot() to take a snapshot of the VMA list (including the gate
VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_lock, and then use that
snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking.

An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_lock held across the
entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_lock locked while
we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g.  because we're
dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_lock
blocks things like the -&gt;release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't
really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because
someone "gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or
something like that.

Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this
functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in
the future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common
helper in fs/coredump.c.

A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel
memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n)
kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't
be terribly bad.

There currently is a data race between stack expansion and anything that
reads -&gt;vm_start or -&gt;vm_end under the mmap_lock held in read mode; to
mitigate that for core dumping, take the mmap_lock in write mode when
taking a snapshot of the VMA hierarchy.  (If we only took the mmap_lock in
read mode, we could end up with a corrupted core dump if someone does
get_user_pages_remote() concurrently.  Not really a major problem, but
taking the mmap_lock either way works here, so we might as well avoid the
issue.) (This doesn't do anything about the existing data races with stack
expansion in other mm code.)

<title>coredump: rework elf/elf_fdpic vma_dump_size() into common helper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:429a22e776a2b9f85a2b9c53d8e647598b553dd1</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly
different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so,
whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page.

Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a
generic core dumping helper in coredump.c.

As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library
header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking
at the file mode.

This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid
get_user() under the mmap_sem.  (And arguably it looks nicer and makes
more sense in generic code.)

Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: -&gt;anon_vma is
only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA
has been written to.

Both fs/binfmt_elf.c and fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c need to dump ranges of
pages into the coredump file.  Extract that logic into a common helper.

Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3.

The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings.  This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed,
transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.

While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate
suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs
to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well.  This alignment
requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be
appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP.

For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.

This patch (of 2):

The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings.  This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed,
transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.

For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.

Tested by verifying program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading.

<id>urn:sha1:b4e9c9549f62329d2412f899635fddc5212b9cd4</id>
<content type='text'>
Two new helpers: given a process and regset, dump into a buffer.
regset_get() takes a buffer and size, regset_get_alloc() takes size
and allocates a buffer.

Return value in both cases is the amount of data actually dumped in
case of success or -E...  on error.

In both cases the size is capped by regset-&gt;n * regset-&gt;size, so
-&gt;get() is called with offset 0 and size no more than what regset
expects.

binfmt_elf.c callers of -&gt;get() are switched to using those; the other
caller (copy_regset_to_user()) will need some preparations to switch.
