qnx4: work around gcc false positive warning bug

2021-10-06T08:23:41+00:00

commit d5f6545934c47e97c0b48a645418e877b452a992 upstream. In commit b7213ffa0e58 ("qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors") I tried to teach gcc about how the directory entry structure can be two different things depending on a status flag. It made the code clearer, and it seemed to make gcc happy. However, Arnd points to a gcc bug, where despite using two different members of a union, gcc then gets confused, and uses the size of one of the members to decide if a string overrun happens. And not necessarily the rigth one. End result: with some configurations, gcc-11 will still complain about the source buffer size being overread: fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function 'qnx4_readdir': fs/qnx4/dir.c:76:32: error: 'strnlen' specified bound [16, 48] exceeds source size 1 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 76 | size = strnlen(name, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/qnx4/dir.c:26:22: note: source object declared here 26 | char de_name; | ^~~~~~~ because gcc will get confused about which union member entry is actually getting accessed, even when the source code is very clear about it. Gcc internally will have combined two "redundant" pointers (pointing to different union elements that are at the same offset), and takes the size checking from one or the other - not necessarily the right one. This is clearly a gcc bug, but we can work around it fairly easily. The biggest thing here is the big honking comment about why we do what we do.

qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors

2021-10-06T08:23:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit b7213ffa0e585feb1aee3e7173e965e66ee0abaa ] The qnx4 directory entries are 64-byte blocks that have different contents depending on the a status byte that is in the last byte of the block. In particular, a directory entry can be either a "link info" entry with a 48-byte name and pointers to the real inode information, or an "inode entry" with a smaller 16-byte name and the full inode information. But the code was written to always just treat the directory name as if it was part of that "inode entry", and just extend the name to the longer case if the status byte said it was a link entry. That work just fine and gives the right results, but now that gcc is tracking data structure accesses much more, the code can trigger a compiler error about using up to 48 bytes (the long name) in a structure that only has that shorter name in it: fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function ‘qnx4_readdir’: fs/qnx4/dir.c:51:32: error: ‘strnlen’ specified bound 48 exceeds source size 16 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 51 | size = strnlen(de->di_fname, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from fs/qnx4/qnx4.h:3, from fs/qnx4/dir.c:16: include/uapi/linux/qnx4_fs.h:45:25: note: source object declared here 45 | char di_fname[QNX4_SHORT_NAME_MAX]; | ^~~~~~~~ which is because the source code doesn't really make this whole "one of two different types" explicit. Fix this by introducing a very explicit union of the two types, and basically explaining to the compiler what is really going on. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

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).

don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem

2015-12-09T03:41:36+00:00

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking the system. new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases. page_follow_link_light() instrumented to yell about anything missed.

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

2014-03-13T14:14:33+00:00

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.

2013-03-04T03:36:31+00:00

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.
