exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-06T06:46:33+00:00

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream. There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept. Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code is doing. As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

shm: extend forced shm destroy to support objects from several IPC nses

2021-12-08T07:46:53+00:00

commit 85b6d24646e4125c591639841169baa98a2da503 upstream. Currently, the exit_shm() function not designed to work properly when task->sysvshm.shm_clist holds shm objects from different IPC namespaces. This is a real pain when sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, because it leads to use-after-free (reproducer exists). This is an attempt to fix the problem by extending exit_shm mechanism to handle shm's destroy from several IPC ns'es. To achieve that we do several things: 1. add a namespace (non-refcounted) pointer to the struct shmid_kernel 2. during new shm object creation (newseg()/shmget syscall) we initialize this pointer by current task IPC ns 3. exit_shm() fully reworked such that it traverses over all shp's in task->sysvshm.shm_clist and gets IPC namespace not from current task as it was before but from shp's object itself, then call shm_destroy(shp, ns). Note: We need to be really careful here, because as it was said before (1), our pointer to IPC ns non-refcnt'ed. To be on the safe side we using special helper get_ipc_ns_not_zero() which allows to get IPC ns refcounter only if IPC ns not in the "state of destruction". Q/A Q: Why can we access shp->ns memory using non-refcounted pointer? A: Because shp object lifetime is always shorther than IPC namespace lifetime, so, if we get shp object from the task->sysvshm.shm_clist while holding task_lock(task) nobody can steal our namespace. Q: Does this patch change semantics of unshare/setns/clone syscalls? A: No. It's just fixes non-covered case when process may leave IPC namespace without getting task->sysvshm.shm_clist list cleaned up.

task_stack: Fix end_of_stack() for architectures with upwards-growing stack

2021-11-26T10:40:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9cc2fa4f4a92ccc6760d764e7341be46ee8aaaa1 ] The function end_of_stack() returns a pointer to the last entry of a stack. For architectures like parisc where the stack grows upwards return the pointer to the highest address in the stack. Without this change I faced a crash on parisc, because the stackleak functionality wrote STACKLEAK_POISON to the lowest address and thus overwrote the first 4 bytes of the task_struct which included the TIF_FLAGS.

include/linux/sched/mm.h: use rcu_dereference in in_vfork()

mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessary

2020-10-29T08:07:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 67197a4f28d28d0b073ab0427b03cb2ee5382578 ] Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals). However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal structure is shared as well. Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role (background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the system. Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global. The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is specified. Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern. With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

exit/exec: Seperate mm_release()

2019-12-05T14:38:25+00:00

commit 4610ba7ad877fafc0a25a30c6c82015304120426 upstream. mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from do_exit()->exit_mm() and from exec()->exec_mm(). In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the exec_mm() case these states are not touched. As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this needs to be split into two functions. Preparatory only, no functional change.

sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers

2019-08-04T07:32:03+00:00

commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream. When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of freeing them. During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace. I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently running task of a different CPU. Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on execve.

coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping

2019-06-22T06:16:19+00:00

commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 upstream. When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem holders outside the context of the process, we focused on mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels. If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process, that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing through that mm_count reference. khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process, but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the khugepaged kernel thread. collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon. collapse_huge_page() needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that call pmd_trans_huge_lock(). Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a "pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs. The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading, which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a functional pmd_trans_huge_lock(). So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's not running concurrently with the coredump... as long as the coredump can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading. This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading. So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

ptrace: take into account saved_sigmask in PTRACE{GET,SET}SIGMASK

2019-05-04T07:15:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit fcfc2aa0185f4a731d05a21e9f359968fdfd02e7 ] There are a few system calls (pselect, ppoll, etc) which replace a task sigmask while they are running in a kernel-space When a task calls one of these syscalls, the kernel saves a current sigmask in task->saved_sigmask and sets a syscall sigmask. On syscall-exit-stop, ptrace traps a task before restoring the saved_sigmask, so PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns the syscall sigmask and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK does nothing, because its sigmask is replaced by saved_sigmask, when the task returns to user-space. This patch fixes this problem. PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns saved_sigmask if it's set. PTRACE_SETSIGMASK drops the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag.
