| * x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for ClangJosh Poimboeuf2017-09-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame pointer is set up first: static inline void foo() { register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP); asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp)) } Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer. The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global variable. It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC version. With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as before: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 after 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed. It now changes its behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global. That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before inserting *any* inline asm. (Therefore, listing the variable as an output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.) It's a bit overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible. And in fact, there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9796316 9468236 9076191 8790305 after 9796957 9464267 9076381 8785949 So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for older versions.

| * objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bugJosh Poimboeuf2017-09-232-17/+32

In this case that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

| * | seccomp: Action to log before allowingTyler Hicks2017-08-141-1/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new action, SECCOMP_RET_LOG, that logs a syscall before allowing the syscall. At the implementation level, this action is identical to the existing SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW action. However, it can be very useful when initially developing a seccomp filter for an application. The developer can set the default action to be SECCOMP_RET_LOG, maybe mark any obviously needed syscalls with SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW, and then put the application through its paces. A list of syscalls that triggered the default action (SECCOMP_RET_LOG) can be easily gleaned from the logs and that list can be used to build the syscall whitelist. Finally, the developer can change the default action to the desired value. This provides a more friendly experience than seeing the application get killed, then updating the filter and rebuilding the app, seeing the application get killed due to a different syscall, then updating the filter and rebuilding the app, etc. The functionality is similar to what's supported by the various LSMs. SELinux has permissive mode, AppArmor has complain mode, SMACK has bring-up mode, etc. SECCOMP_RET_LOG is given a lower value than SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW as allow while logging is slightly more restrictive than quietly allowing. Unfortunately, the tests added for SECCOMP_RET_LOG are not capable of inspecting the audit log to verify that the syscall was logged. With this patch, the logic for deciding if an action will be logged is: if action == RET_ALLOW: do not log else if action == RET_KILL && RET_KILL in actions_logged: log else if action == RET_LOG && RET_LOG in actions_logged: log else if filter-requests-logging && action in actions_logged: log else if audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited: log else: do not log Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
| * | seccomp: Filter flag to log all actions except SECCOMP_RET_ALLOWTyler Hicks2017-08-141-1/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new filter flag, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG, that enables logging for all actions except for SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW for the given filter. SECCOMP_RET_KILL actions are always logged, when "kill" is in the actions_logged sysctl, and SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW actions are never logged, regardless of this flag. This flag can be used to create noisy filters that result in all non-allowed actions to be logged. A process may have one noisy filter, which is loaded with this flag, as well as a quiet filter that's not loaded with this flag. This allows for the actions in a set of filters to be selectively conveyed to the admin. Since a system could have a large number of allocated seccomp_filter structs, struct packing was taken in consideration. On 64 bit x86, the new log member takes up one byte of an existing four byte hole in the struct. On 32 bit x86, the new log member creates a new four byte hole (unavoidable) and consumes one of those bytes. Unfortunately, the tests added for SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG are not capable of inspecting the audit log to verify that the actions taken in the filter were logged. With this patch, the logic for deciding if an action will be logged is: if action == RET_ALLOW: do not log else if action == RET_KILL && RET_KILL in actions_logged: log else if filter-requests-logging && action in actions_logged: log else if audit_enabled && process-is-being-audited: log else: do not log Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
| * | seccomp: Selftest for detection of filter flag supportTyler Hicks2017-08-141-0/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace needs to be able to reliably detect the support of a filter flag. A good way of doing that is by attempting to enter filter mode, with the flag bit(s) in question set, and a NULL pointer for the args parameter of seccomp(2). EFAULT indicates that the flag is valid and EINVAL indicates that the flag is invalid. This patch adds a selftest that can be used to test this method of detection in userspace.

| * | seccomp: Operation for checking if an action is availableTyler Hicks2017-08-141-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace code that needs to check if the kernel supports a given action may not be able to use the /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_avail sysctl. The process may be running in a sandbox and, therefore, sufficient filesystem access may not be available. This patch adds an operation to the seccomp(2) syscall that allows userspace code to ask the kernel if a given action is available. If the action is supported by the kernel, 0 is returned. If the action is not supported by the kernel, -1 is returned with errno set to -EOPNOTSUPP. If this check is attempted on a kernel that doesn't support this new operation, -1 is returned with errno set to -EINVAL meaning that userspace code will have the ability to differentiate between the two error cases.

Commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81") dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those make-builtin helpers. This conversion will provide better portability without relying on the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd. I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in some places. The difference between the two is $(realpath ...) returns an empty string if the given path does not exist. It is convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails to create an output directory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is no good answer for those questions. The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits. I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning. I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention. I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and only then add users with proper justification. This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term allocations.

This is e.g. the case for appimages (e.g. "perf-x86_64.AppImage"), but would also apply to all other scenarios where users symlink or rename perf themselves: Status quo with the broken behavior: $ ln -s ./perf ./perf-custom-suffix $ ./perf-custom-suffix list cannot handle custom-suffix internally$ Also note the missing newline at the end of the error message.

'perf list' shows such duplicate events only once, but 'perf stat' ends up counting the first event code twice, multiplexing if necessary and we end up with double the event counts.

Two reasons for the failure are: 1. When elf section is too big (size beyond 'unsigned int' max value). objdump fails to disassemble from such section. This was fixed with commit 0f6329bd7fc ("binutils/objdump: Fix disassemble for huge elf sections") in binutils. 2. When the sample is from hypervisor. Hypervisor symbols can not be resolved within guest and thus thread__find_addr_map() fails for such symbols. Fix this by ignoring hypervisor symbols in the test.

Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the "from" of branch entry A.

I delayed it so that a minor conflict resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next before I sent this pull request. This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to generalize this and encode some of the namespace information information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy more expensive. Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from complaining about unitialized variables. I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial copy to user. The code is available at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3 But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed before the merge window opened. I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo.
