<id>urn:sha1:9dcb65cdf3128113ce9a48b05a72b6f8ef2bc257</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5f24d5a579d1eace79d505b148808a850b417d4c upstream.

This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function.
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().  To allow that, move those two macros out
of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

Catalin (ARM64) said
 "We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added
  support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to
  prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default
  as some user-space had hard assumptions about this.

  It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
  but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current
  behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.

  Basically when arm64 gained support for 52-bit addresses we did not
  want user-space calling mmap() to suddenly get such high addresses,
  otherwise we could have inadvertently broken some programs (similar
  behaviour to x86 here). Hence we added commit f6795053dac8. But we
  missed hugetlbfs which could still get such high mmap() addresses. So
  in theory that's a potential regression that should have bee addressed
  at the same time as commit f6795053dac8 (and before arm64 enabled
  52-bit addresses)"

commit b1e8206582f9d680cff7d04828708c8b6ab32957 upstream.

Where commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an
invalid sched_task_group") fixed a fork race vs cgroup, it opened up a
race vs syscalls by not placing the task on the runqueue before it
gets exposed through the pidhash.

Commit 13765de8148f ("sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity") is
trying to fix a single instance of this, instead fix the whole class
of issues, effectively reverting this commit.

<title>signal: Replace force_fatal_sig with force_exit_sig when in doubt</title>

commit fcb116bc43c8c37c052530ead79872f8b2615711 upstream.

Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals
being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added.

Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect
to be able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when
the target process is not configured to handle those signals.

Add force_exit_sig and use it instead of force_fatal_sig where
historically the code has directly called do_exit.  This has the
implementation benefits of going through the signal exit path
(including generating core dumps) without the danger of allowing
userspace to ignore or change these signals.

This avoids userspace regressions as older kernels exited with do_exit
which debuggers also can not intercept.

In the future is should be possible to improve the quality of
implementation of the kernel by changing some of these force_exit_sig
calls to force_fatal_sig.  That can be done where it matters on
a case-by-case basis with careful analysis.

<content type='text'>
commit 26d5badbccddcc063dc5174a2baffd13a23322aa upstream.

Add a simple helper force_fatal_sig that causes a signal to be
delivered to a process as if the signal handler was set to SIG_DFL.

Reimplement force_sigsegv based upon this new helper.  This fixes
force_sigsegv so that when it forces the default signal handler
to be used the code now forces the signal to be unblocked as well.

Reusing the tested logic in force_sig_info_to_task that was built for
force_sig_seccomp this makes the implementation trivial.

This is interesting both because it makes force_sigsegv simpler and
because there are a couple of buggy places in the kernel that call
do_exit(SIGILL) or do_exit(SIGSYS) because there is no straight
forward way today for those places to simply force the exit of a
process with the chosen signal.  Creating force_fatal_sig allows
those places to be implemented with normal signal exits.

<title>shm: extend forced shm destroy to support objects from several IPC nses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e73114d9334e83fa1fd0b30f624b784ef654c055</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 85b6d24646e4125c591639841169baa98a2da503 upstream.

Currently, the exit_shm() function not designed to work properly when
task-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist list cleaned up.

[ Upstream commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba1f38f0ea1cedad0cad722f00c14a ]

There is a small race between copy_process() and sched_fork()
where child-&gt;sched_task_group point to an already freed pointer.

	parent doing fork()      | someone moving the parent
				 | to another cgroup
  -------------------------------+-------------------------------
  copy_process()
      + dup_task_struct()&lt;1&gt;
				  parent move to another cgroup,
				  and free the old cgroup. &lt;2&gt;
      + sched_fork()
	+ __set_task_cpu()&lt;3&gt;
	+ task_fork_fair()
	  + sched_slice()&lt;4&gt;

In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and
cause panic as shown above:

  (1) parent copy its sched_task_group to child at &lt;1&gt;;

  (2) someone move the parent to another cgroup and free the old
      cgroup at &lt;2&gt;;

  (3) the sched_task_group and cfs_rq that belong to the old cgroup
      will be accessed at &lt;3&gt; and &lt;4&gt;, which cause a panic:

  [] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

Between cgroup_can_fork() and cgroup_post_fork(), the cgroup
membership and thus sched_task_group can't change. So update child's
sched_task_group at sched_post_fork() and move task_fork() and
__set_task_cpu() (where accees the sched_task_group) from sched_fork()
to sched_post_fork().

[ 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.

This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against
the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on
SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a
per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a
16-socket, &gt; 1000 thread system.
