commit ec327abae5edd1d5b60ea9f920212970133171d2 upstream.

When declaring an immutable global variable in Rust, the compiler checks
that it looks thread safe, because it is generally safe to access said
global variable. When using C bindings types for these globals, we don't
really want this check, because it is conservative and assumes pointers
are not thread safe.

In the case of BINDER_VM_OPS, this is a challenge when combined with the
patch 'userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops' [1], which introduces a
pointer field to vm_operations_struct. It previously only held function
pointers, which are considered thread safe.

Rust Binder should not be assuming that vm_operations_struct contains no
pointer fields, so to fix this, use AssertSync (which Rust Binder has
already declared for another similar global of type struct
file_operations with the same problem). This ensures that even if
another commit adds a pointer field to vm_operations_struct, this does
not cause problems.

<title>rust_binder: call set_notification_done() without proc lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd109e3442817bc03ad1f3ffd541092f8c428141</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2e303f0febb65a434040774b793ba8356698802b upstream.

Consider the following sequence of events on a death listener:
1. The remote process dies and sends a BR_DEAD_BINDER message.
2. The local process invokes the BC_CLEAR_DEATH_NOTIFICATION command.
3. The local process then invokes the BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE.
Then, the kernel will reply to the BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE command with a
BR_CLEAR_DEATH_NOTIFICATION_DONE reply using push_work_if_looper().

However, this can result in a deadlock if the current thread is not a
looper. This is because dead_binder_done() still holds the proc lock
during set_notification_done(), which called push_work_if_looper().
Normally, push_work_if_looper() takes the thread lock, which is fine to
take under the proc lock. But if the current thread is not a looper,
then it falls back to delivering the reply to the process work queue,
which involves taking the proc lock. Since the proc lock is already
held, this is a deadlock.

Fix this by releasing the proc lock during set_notification_done(). It
was not intentional that it was held during that function to begin with.

I don't think this ever happens in Android because BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE
is only invoked in response to BR_DEAD_BINDER messages, and the kernel
always delivers BR_DEAD_BINDER to a looper. So there's no scenario where
Android userspace will call BC_DEAD_BINDER_DONE on a non-looper thread.

<title>rust_binder: avoid reading the written value in offsets array</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e19afb53f7723b3bd22224f2b0c7dcfa70bb973f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4cb9e13fec0de7c942f5f927469beb8e48ddd20f upstream.

When sending a transaction, its offsets array is first copied into the
target proc's vma, and then the values are read back from there. This is
normally fine because the vma is a read-only mapping, so the target
process cannot change the value under us.

However, if the target process somehow gains the ability to write to its
own vma, it could change the offset before it's read back, causing the
kernel to misinterpret what the sender meant. If the sender happens to
send a payload with a specific shape, this could in the worst case lead
to the receiver being able to privilege escalate into the sender.

The intent is that gaining the ability to change the read-only vma of
your own process should not be exploitable, so remove this TOCTOU read
even though it's unexploitable without another Binder bug.

commit 8ef2c15aeae07647f530d30f6daaf79eb801bcd1 upstream.

When installing missing pages (or zapping them), Rust Binder will look
up the vma in the mm by address, and then call vm_insert_page (or
zap_page_range_single). However, if the vma is closed and replaced with
a different vma at the same address, this can lead to Rust Binder
installing pages into the wrong vma.

By installing the page into a writable vma, it becomes possible to write
to your own binder pages, which are normally read-only. Although you're
not supposed to be able to write to those pages, the intent behind the
design of Rust Binder is that even if you get that ability, it should not
lead to anything bad. Unfortunately, due to another bug, that is not the
case.

To fix this, store a pointer in vm_private_data and check that the vma
returned by vma_lookup() has the right vm_ops and vm_private_data before
trying to use the vma. This should ensure that Rust Binder will refuse
to interact with any other VMA. The plan is to introduce more vma
abstractions to avoid this unsafe access to vm_ops and vm_private_data,
but for now let's start with the simplest possible fix.

C Binder performs the same check in a slightly different way: it
provides a vm_ops-&gt;close that sets a boolean to true, then checks that
boolean after calling vma_lookup(), but this is more fragile
than the solution in this patch. (We probably still want to do both, but
the vm_ops-&gt;close callback will be added later as part of the follow-up
vma API changes.)

It's still possible to remap the vma so that pages appear in the right
vma, but at the wrong offset, but this is a separate issue and will be
fixed when Rust Binder gets a vm_ops-&gt;close callback.

<content type='text'>
commit 4fc87c240b8f30e22b7ebaae29d57105589e1c0b upstream.

The spam detection logic in TreeRange was executed before the current
request was inserted into the tree. So the new request was not being
factored in the spam calculation. Fix this by moving the logic after
the new range has been inserted.

Also, the detection logic for ArrayRange was missing altogether which
meant large spamming transactions could get away without being detected.
Fix this by implementing an equivalent low_oneway_space() in ArrayRange.

Note that I looked into centralizing this logic in RangeAllocator but
iterating through 'state' and 'size' got a bit too complicated (for me)
and I abandoned this effort.

The 'max' argument of ida_alloc_max() takes the maximum valid ID and not
the "count". Using an ID of BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR (1 &lt;&lt; 20) for dev-&gt;minor
would exceed the limits of minor numbers (20-bits). Fix this off-by-one
error by subtracting 1 from the 'max'.

commit d047248190d86a52164656d47bec9bfba61dc71e upstream.

This adds some alignment checks to match C Binder more closely. This
causes the driver to reject more transactions. I don't think any of the
transactions in question are harmful, but it's still a bug because it's
the wrong uapi to accept them.

The cases where usize is changed for u64, it will affect only 32-bit
kernels.

<id>urn:sha1:598fe3ff32e43918ed8a062f55432b3d23e6340c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8f589c9c3be539d6c2b393c82940c3783831082f upstream.

Fix a bug where an empty FDA (fd array) object with 0 fds would cause an
out-of-bounds error. The previous implementation used `skip == 0` to
mean "this is a pointer fixup", but 0 is also the correct skip length
for an empty FDA. If the FDA is at the end of the buffer, then this
results in an attempt to write 8-bytes out of bounds. This is caught and
results in an EINVAL error being returned to userspace.

The pattern of using `skip == 0` as a special value originates from the
C-implementation of Binder. As part of fixing this bug, this pattern is
replaced with a Rust enum.

I considered the alternate option of not pushing a fixup when the length
is zero, but I think it's cleaner to just get rid of the zero-is-special
stuff.

The root cause of this bug was diagnosed by Gemini CLI on first try. I
used the following prompt:

&gt; There appears to be a bug in @drivers/android/binder/thread.rs where
&gt; the Fixups oob bug is triggered with 316 304 316 324. This implies
&gt; that we somehow ended up with a fixup where buffer A has a pointer to
&gt; buffer B, but the pointer is located at an index in buffer A that is
&gt; out of bounds. Please investigate the code to find the bug. You may
&gt; compare with @drivers/android/binder.c that implements this correctly.

account, and apparently I did not end up running the shrinker callback
when I sanity tested the driver before submission. This leads to crashes
like the following:

Similar to the previous commit, List::remove is used on
delivered_deaths, so do not use mem::take on it as that may result in
violations of the List::remove safety requirements.

I don't think this particular case can be triggered because it requires
fd close to run in parallel with an ioctl on the same fd. But let's not
tempt fate.
