* proc: do not allow negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environDjalal Harouni2012-07-301-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __mem_open() which is called by both /proc/<pid>/environ and /proc/<pid>/mem ->open() handlers will allow the use of negative offsets. /proc/<pid>/mem has negative offsets but not /proc/<pid>/environ. Clean this by moving the 'force FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET flag' to mem_open() to allow negative offsets only on /proc/<pid>/mem.

* proc: environ_read() make sure offset points to environment address rangeDjalal Harouni2012-07-301-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the following offset and environment address range check in environ_read() of /proc/<pid>/environ is buggy: int this_len = mm->env_end - (mm->env_start + src); if (this_len <= 0) break; Large or negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ converted to 'unsigned long' may pass this check since '(mm->env_start + src)' can overflow and 'this_len' will be positive. This can turn /proc/<pid>/environ to act like /proc/<pid>/mem since (mm->env_start + src) will point and read from another VMA. There are two fixes here plus some code cleaning: 1) Fix the overflow by checking if the offset that was converted to unsigned long will always point to the [mm->env_start, mm->env_end] address range. 2) Remove the truncation that was made to the result of the check, storing the result in 'int this_len' will alter its value and we can not depend on it. For kernels that have commit b409e578d ("proc: clean up /proc/<pid>/environ handling") which adds the appropriate ptrace check and saves the 'mm' at ->open() time, this is not a security issue. This patch is taken from the grsecurity patch since it was just made available.

Along with making the locking more fine grained, this gives significant improvements in multiqueue networking scalability. - Still from Anton, we know provide a vdso based variant of getcpu which makes sched_getcpu with the appropriate glibc patch something like 18 times faster. - More anton goodness (he's been busy !) in other areas such as a faster __clear_user and copy_page on P7, various perf fixes to improve sampling quality, etc... - One more step toward removing legacy i2c interfaces by using new device-tree based probing of platform devices for the AOA audio drivers - A nice series of patches from Michael Neuling that helps avoiding confusion between register numbers and litterals in assembly code, trying to enforce the use of "%rN" register names in gas rather than plain numbers. - A pile of FSL updates - The usual bunch of small fixes, cleanups etc... You may spot a change to drivers/char/mem. The patch got no comment or ack from outside, it's a trivial patch to allow the architecture to skip creating /dev/port, which we use to disable it on ppc64 that don't have a legacy brige. On those, IO ports 0...64K are not mapped in kernel space at all, so accesses to /dev/port cause oopses (and yes, distros -still- ship userspace that bangs hard coded ports such as kbdrate)." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (106 commits) powerpc/mpic: Create a revmap with enough entries for IPIs and timers Remove stale .rej file powerpc/iommu: Fix iommu pool initialization powerpc/eeh: Check handle_eeh_events() return value powerpc/85xx: Add phy nodes in SGMII mode for MPC8536/44/72DS & P2020DS powerpc/e500: add paravirt QEMU platform powerpc/mpc85xx_ds: convert to unified PCI init powerpc/fsl-pci: get PCI init out of board files powerpc/85xx: Update corenet64_smp_defconfig powerpc/85xx: Update corenet32_smp_defconfig powerpc/85xx: Rename P1021RDB-PC device trees to be consistent powerpc/watchdog: move booke watchdog param related code to setup-common.c sound/aoa: Adapt to new i2c probing scheme i2c/powermac: Improve detection of devices from device-tree powerpc: Disable /dev/port interface on systems without an ISA bridge of: Improve prom_update_property() function powerpc: Add "memory" attribute for mfmsr() powerpc/ftrace: Fix assembly trampoline register usage powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Fix incorrect pointer access powerpc: Put the gpr save/restore functions in their own section ...

* vfs: Fix /proc/<tid>/fdinfo/<fd> file handlingLinus Torvalds2012-06-041-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit 30a08bf2d31d ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right. The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the permission model for those are different. So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are. Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'. That would have avoided this issue too, but since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the reason for that original commit 30a08bf2d31d in the first place), people do apparently use this feature. [ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo" replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink. So the feature does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably shouldn't have done it to begin with. ] Reported-and-tested-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse parent->children chain from arbitrary <pid> (while a parent pid is provided in "PPid" field of /proc/<pid>/status). So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) -- we add explicit /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry, because the kernel already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported. This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

* proc: report file/anon bit in /proc/pid/pagemapKonstantin Khlebnikov2012-05-311-18/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an implementation of Andrew's proposal to extend the pagemap file bits to report what is missing about tasks' working set. The problem with the working set detection is multilateral. In the criu (checkpoint/restore) project we dump the tasks' memory into image files and to do it properly we need to detect which pages inside mappings are really in use. The mincore syscall I though could help with this did not. First, it doesn't report swapped pages, thus we cannot find out which parts of anonymous mappings to dump. Next, it does report pages from page cache as present even if they are not mapped, and it doesn't make that has not been cow-ed. Note, that issue with swap pages is critical -- we must dump swap pages to image file. But the issues with file pages are optimization -- we can take all file pages to image, this would be correct, but if we know that a page is not mapped or not cow-ed, we can remove them from dump file. The dump would still be self-consistent, though significantly smaller in size (up to 10 times smaller on real apps). Andrew noticed, that the proc pagemap file solved 2 of 3 above issues -- it reports whether a page is present or swapped and it doesn't report not mapped page cache pages. But, it doesn't distinguish cow-ed file pages from not cow-ed. I would like to make the last unused bit in this file to report whether the page mapped into respective pte is PageAnon or not.

* mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspaceDavid Rientjes2012-05-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of -350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage. The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by 0.1% of system RAM. On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB on 256GB systems, for example. This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace perspective.

Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

| * | userns: Rework the user_namespace adding uid/gid mapping supportEric W. Biederman2012-04-261-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Convert the old uid mapping functions into compatibility wrappers - Add a uid/gid mapping layer from user space uid and gids to kernel internal uids and gids that is extent based for simplicty and speed. * Working with number space after mapping uids/gids into their kernel internal version adds only mapping complexity over what we have today, leaving the kernel code easy to understand and test. - Add proc files /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map These files display the mapping and allow a mapping to be added if a mapping does not exist. - Allow entering the user namespace without a uid or gid mapping. Since we are starting with an existing user our uids and gids still have global mappings so are still valid and useful they just don't have local mappings. The requirement for things to work are global uid and gid so it is odd but perfectly fine not to have a local uid and gid mapping. Not requiring global uid and gid mappings greatly simplifies the logic of setting up the uid and gid mappings by allowing the mappings to be set after the namespace is created which makes the slight weirdness worth it. - Make the mappings in the initial user namespace to the global uid/gid space explicit. Today it is an identity mapping but in the future we may want to twist this for debugging, similar to what we do with jiffies. - Document the memory ordering requirements of setting the uid and gid mappings. We only allow the mappings to be set once and there are no pointers involved so the requirments are trivial but a little atypical. Performance: In this scheme for the permission checks the performance is expected to stay the same as the actuall machine instructions should remain the same. The worst case I could think of is ls -l on a large directory where all of the stat results need to be translated with from kuids and kgids to uids and gids. So I benchmarked that case on my laptop with a dual core hyperthread Intel i5-2520M cpu with 3M of cpu cache. My benchmark consisted of going to single user mode where nothing else was running. On an ext4 filesystem opening 1,000,000 files and looping through all of the files 1000 times and calling fstat on the individuals files. This was to ensure I was benchmarking stat times where the inodes were in the kernels cache, but the inode values were not in the processors cache. My results: v3.4-rc1: ~= 156ns (unmodified v3.4-rc1 with user namespace support disabled) v3.4-rc1-userns-: ~= 155ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support disabled) v3.4-rc1-userns+: ~= 164ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support enabled) All of the configurations ran in roughly 120ns when I performed tests that ran in the cpu cache. So in summary the performance impact is: 1ns improvement in the worst case with user namespace support compiled out. 8ns aka 5% slowdown in the worst case with user namespace support compiled in.

* | | | proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()Linus Torvalds2012-05-181-29/+14
|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time, move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state (notably uid/gid information) is updated too. Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point.

The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that.

Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing network devices. sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully this means the code is now approachable. Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until something was found that was usable. - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation is fixed. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits) sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link. sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer. sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set() sysctl: remove an unused variable sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees. sysctl: Make the header lists per directory. sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets. sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry. sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure. sysctl: Factor out insert_header and erase_header ...
