tracefs: Add missing lockdown check to tracefs_create_dir()

2023-09-23T09:10:02+00:00

commit 51aab5ffceb43e05119eb059048fd75765d2bc21 upstream. The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

tracefs: Only clobber mode/uid/gid on remount if asked

2022-09-20T10:39:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 47311db8e8f33011d90dee76b39c8886120cdda4 ] Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared. Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time. Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. Existing behavior: ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwx------ ## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwx------ New behavior (after this change): ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwxr-xr-x ## Expected: the automount does not change other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220826174353.2.Iab6e5ea57963d6deca5311b27fb7226790d44406@changeid Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 4282d60689d4f ("tracefs: Add new tracefs file system") Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

tracefs: Set the group ownership in apply_options() not parse_options()

2022-03-02T10:48:05+00:00

commit 851e99ebeec3f4a672bb5010cf1ece095acee447 upstream. Al Viro brought it to my attention that the dentries may not be filled when the parse_options() is called, causing the call to set_gid() to possibly crash. It should only be called if parse_options() succeeds totally anyway. He suggested the logical place to do the update is in apply_options().

tracefs: Set all files to the same group ownership as the mount option

2021-12-14T09:57:15+00:00

commit 48b27b6b5191e2e1f2798cd80877b6e4ef47c351 upstream. As people have been asking to allow non-root processes to have access to the tracefs directory, it was considered best to only allow groups to have access to the directory, where it is easier to just set the tracefs file system to a specific group (as other would be too dangerous), and that way the admins could pick which processes would have access to tracefs. Unfortunately, this broke tooling on Android that expected the other bit to be set. For some special cases, for non-root tools to trace the system, tracefs would be mounted and change the permissions of the top level directory which gave access to all running tasks permission to the tracing directory. Even though this would be dangerous to do in a production environment, for testing environments this can be useful. Now with the new changes to not allow other (which is still the proper thing to do), it breaks the testing tooling. Now more code needs to be loaded on the system to change ownership of the tracing directory. The real solution is to have tracefs honor the gid=xxx option when mounting. That is, (tracing group tracing has value 1003) mount -t tracefs -o gid=1003 tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing should have it that all files in the tracing directory should be of the given group. Copy the logic from d_walk() from dcache.c and simplify it for the mount case of tracefs if gid is set. All the files in tracefs will be walked and their group will be set to the value passed in.

tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their parent

commit ee7f3666995d8537dec17b1d35425f28877671a9 upstream. If directories in tracefs have their ownership changed, then any new files and directories that are created under those directories should inherit the ownership of the director they are created in.

tracefs: Have tracefs directories not set OTH permission bits by default

2021-11-18T18:16:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 49d67e445742bbcb03106b735b2ab39f6e5c56bc ] The tracefs file system is by default mounted such that only root user can access it. But there are legitimate reasons to create a group and allow those added to the group to have access to tracing. By changing the permissions of the tracefs mount point to allow access, it will allow group access to the tracefs directory. There should not be any real reason to allow all access to the tracefs directory as it contains sensitive information. Have the default permission of directories being created not have any OTH (other) bits set, such that an admin that wants to give permission to a group has to first disable all OTH bits in the file system.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all relevant helpers in earlier patches. As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

tracing: Do not create tracefs files if tracefs lockdown is in effect

2019-10-13T00:49:07+00:00

If on boot up, lockdown is activated for tracefs, don't even bother creating the files. This can also prevent instances from being created if lockdown is in effect.
