commit 602b8593d2b4138c10e922eeaafe306f6b51817b upstream.

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un-&gt;semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

[1] Test case used below:

include/linux/sem.h contains several structures that are only used within
ipc/sem.c.

The patch moves them into ipc/sem.c - there is no need to expose the
structures to the whole kernel.

No functional changes, only whitespace cleanups and 80-char per line
fixes.

semtimedop() does not handle spurious wakeups, it returns -EINTR to user
space.  Most other schedule() users would just loop and not return to user
space.  The patch adds such a loop to semtimedop()

<title>ipc/sem.c: fix return code race with semop vs. semop +semctl(IPC_RMID)</title>

sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation
completed successfully:

thread 1:	thread 2:
		semtimedop(), sleeps
semop():
* acquires sem_lock()
		semtimedop() woken up due to timeout
		sem_lock() loops
* notices that thread 2 could be completed.
* performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on.
* marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP
* drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0
		* thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever
* returns to user space
		* thread still delayed
semctl(IPC_RMID)
* acquires sem_lock()
* ipc_rmid(), ipcp-&gt;deleted=1
* drops sem_lock()
		* thread finally continues - but seem_lock()
		  now fails due to ipcp-&gt;deleted == 1
		* returns -EIDRM instead of 0

The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status.

In real world, the race probably doesn't matter:
If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested
if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled.

If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken
up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not
wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed.  This will cause crashes,
because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer.

The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result().
This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.

The rcu callback free_un() just calls a kfree(),
so we use kfree_rcu() instead of the call_rcu(free_un).

CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(),
because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace.

setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against
current_user_ns().

Changelog:
	Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable().
	Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank.
	Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c
	Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable
	Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns-&gt;user_ns
	Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current

<title>sys_semctl: fix kernel stack leakage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:982f7c2b2e6a28f8f266e075d92e19c0dd4c6e56</id>
<content type='text'>
The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.

The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.

The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

<title>ipc/sem.c: bugfix for semop() not reporting successful operation</title>

<content type='text'>
The last change to improve the scalability moved the actual wake-up out of
the section that is protected by spin_lock(sma-&gt;sem_perm.lock).

This means that IN_WAKEUP can be in queue.status even when the spinlock is
acquired by the current task.  Thus the same loop that is performed when
queue.status is read without the spinlock acquired must be performed when
the spinlock is acquired.

Thanks to kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com for noticing lack of the memory
barrier.
