bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4

2021-08-04T10:47:56Z

[ Upstream commit f5e81d1117501546b7be050c5fbafa6efd2c722c ] In case of JITs, each of the JIT backends compiles the BPF nospec instruction /either/ to a machine instruction which emits a speculation barrier /or/ to /no/ machine instruction in case the underlying architecture is not affected by Speculative Store Bypass or has different mitigations in place already. This covers both x86 and (implicitly) arm64: In case of x86, we use 'lfence' instruction for mitigation. In case of arm64, we rely on the firmware mitigation as controlled via the ssbd kernel parameter. Whenever the mitigation is enabled, it works for all of the kernel code with no need to provide any additional instructions here (hence only comment in arm64 JIT). Other archs can follow as needed. The BPF nospec instruction is specifically targeting Spectre v4 since i) we don't use a serialization barrier for the Spectre v1 case, and ii) mitigation instructions for v1 and v4 might be different on some archs. The BPF nospec is required for a future commit, where the BPF verifier does annotate intermediate BPF programs with speculation barriers.

net: retrieve netns cookie via getsocketopt

2021-07-19T08:04:44Z

[ Upstream commit e8b9eab99232c4e62ada9d7976c80fd5e8118289 ] It's getting more common to run nested container environments for testing cloud software. One of such examples is Kind [1] which runs a Kubernetes cluster in Docker containers on a single host. Each container acts as a Kubernetes node, and thus can run any Pod (aka container) inside the former. This approach simplifies testing a lot, as it eliminates complicated VM setups. Unfortunately, such a setup breaks some functionality when cgroupv2 BPF programs are used for load-balancing. The load-balancer BPF program needs to detect whether a request originates from the host netns or a container netns in order to allow some access, e.g. to a service via a loopback IP address. Typically, the programs detect this by comparing netns cookies with the one of the init ns via a call to bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL). However, in nested environments the latter cannot be used given the Kubernetes node's netns is outside the init ns. To fix this, we need to pass the Kubernetes node netns cookie to the program in a different way: by extending getsockopt() with a SO_NETNS_COOKIE option, the orchestrator which runs in the Kubernetes node netns can retrieve the cookie and pass it to the program instead. Thus, this is following up on Eric's commit 3d368ab87cf6 ("net: initialize net->net_cookie at netns setup") to allow retrieval via SO_NETNS_COOKIE. This is also in line in how we retrieve socket cookie via SO_COOKIE.

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().

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.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good

2021-05-07T07:26:34Z

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

hugetlb: pass vma into huge_pte_alloc() and huge_pmd_share()

2021-05-05T18:27:20Z

Patch series "hugetlb: Disable huge pmd unshare for uffd-wp", v4. This series tries to disable huge pmd unshare of hugetlbfs backed memory for uffd-wp. Although uffd-wp of hugetlbfs is still during rfc stage, the idea of this series may be needed for multiple tasks (Axel's uffd minor fault series, and Mike's soft dirty series), so I picked it out from the larger series. This patch (of 4): It is a preparation work to be able to behave differently in the per architecture huge_pte_alloc() according to different VMA attributes. Pass it deeper into huge_pmd_share() so that we can avoid the find_vma() call.
