sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled

2021-07-14T15:06:21Z

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ] As pointed out by commit de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread") init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them. As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again. In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at bringup_cpu(). Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible* CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0 between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by idle_thread_get() -> idle_init(). Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove init_idle() from idle_thread_get(). Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle: @begone@ @@ -preempt_disable(); ... cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE); Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210512094636.2958515-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

quota: Disable quotactl_path syscall

2021-05-17T12:39:56Z

In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris: "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün. Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. From Mickaël's cover letter: "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves. Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD Pledge/Unveil. In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features. This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing, init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]" The cover letter and v34 posting is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20210422154123.13086-1-mic@digikod.net/ See also: https://landlock.io/ This code has had extensive design discussion and review over several years" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/50db058a-7dde-441b-a7f9-f6837fe8b69f@schaufler-ca.com/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/f646e1c7-33cf-333f-070c-0a40ad0468cd@digikod.net/ [2] * tag 'landlock_v34' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: landlock: Enable user space to infer supported features landlock: Add user and kernel documentation samples/landlock: Add a sandbox manager example selftests/landlock: Add user space tests landlock: Add syscall implementations arch: Wire up Landlock syscalls fs,security: Add sb_delete hook landlock: Support filesystem access-control LSM: Infrastructure management of the superblock landlock: Add ptrace restrictions landlock: Set up the security framework and manage credentials landlock: Add ruleset and domain management landlock: Add object management

sparc64: Fix opcode filtering in handling of no fault loads

2021-03-10T00:21:10Z

is_no_fault_exception() has two bugs which were discovered via random opcode testing with stress-ng. Both are caused by improper filtering of opcodes. The first bug can be triggered by a floating point store with a no-fault ASI, for instance "sta %f0, [%g0] #ASI_PNF", opcode C1A01040. The code first tests op3[5] (0x1000000), which denotes a floating point instruction, and then tests op3[2] (0x200000), which denotes a store instruction. But these bits are not mutually exclusive, and the above mentioned opcode has both bits set. The intent is to filter out stores, so the test for stores must be done first in order to have any effect. The second bug can be triggered by a floating point load with one of the invalid ASI values 0x8e or 0x8f, which pass this check in is_no_fault_exception(): if ((asi & 0xf2) == ASI_PNF) An example instruction is "ldqa [%l7 + %o7] #ASI 0x8f, %f38", opcode CF95D1EF. Asi values greater than 0x8b (ASI_SNFL) are fatal in handle_ldf_stq(), and is_no_fault_exception() must not allow these invalid asi values to make it that far. In both of these cases, handle_ldf_stq() reacts by calling sun4v_data_access_exception() or spitfire_data_access_exception(), which call is_no_fault_exception() and results in an infinite recursion.
