commit 390031c942116d4733310f0684beb8db19885fe6 upstream.

Matthew Wilcox reported that there is a missing mmap_lock in
file_files_note that could possibly lead to a user after free.

Solve this by using the existing vma snapshot for consistency
and to avoid the need to take the mmap_lock anywhere in the
coredump code except for dump_vma_snapshot.

Update the dump_vma_snapshot to capture vm_pgoff and vm_file
that are neeeded by fill_files_note.

Add free_vma_snapshot to free the captured values of vm_file.

Instead of individually passing cprm-&gt;siginfo and cprm-&gt;regs
into fill_note_info pass all of struct coredump_params.

This is preparation to allow fill_files_note to use the existing

commit 95c5436a4883841588dae86fb0b9325f47ba5ad3 upstream.

Move the call of dump_vma_snapshot and kvfree(vma_meta) out of the
individual coredump routines into do_coredump itself.  This makes
the code less error prone and easier to maintain.

Make the vma snapshot available to the coredump routines
in struct coredump_params.  This makes it easier to
change and update what is captures in the vma snapshot
and will be needed for fixing fill_file_notes.

<title>fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files</title>

[ Upstream commit 0da1d5002745cdc721bc018b582a8a9704d56c42 ]

BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197921

As pointed out in the discussion of buglink, we cannot calculate AT_PHDR
as the sum of load_addr and exec-&gt;e_phoff.

: The AT_PHDR of ELF auxiliary vectors should point to the memory address
: of program header. But binfmt_elf.c calculates this address as follows:
:
: NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_PHDR, load_addr + exec-&gt;e_phoff);
:
: which is wrong since e_phoff is the file offset of program header and
: load_addr is the memory base address from PT_LOAD entry.
:
: The ld.so uses AT_PHDR as the memory address of program header. In normal
: case, since the e_phoff is usually 64 and in the first PT_LOAD region, it
: is the correct program header address.
:
: But if the address of program header isn't equal to the first PT_LOAD
: address + e_phoff (e.g.  Put the program header in other non-consecutive
: PT_LOAD region), ld.so will try to read program header from wrong address
: then crash or use incorrect program header.

This is because exec-&gt;e_phoff
is the offset of PHDRs in the file and the address of PHDRs in the
memory may differ from it. This patch fixes the bug by calculating the
address of program headers from PT_LOADs directly.

<title>binfmt_elf: Avoid total_mapping_size for ET_EXEC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:404d3c1d1d9fadae819bfb19df22958001b5a879</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 439a8468242b313486e69b8cc3b45ddcfa898fbf upstream.

Partially revert commit 5f501d555653 ("binfmt_elf: reintroduce using
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE"), which applied the ET_DYN "total_mapping_size"
logic also to ET_EXEC.

At least ia64 has ET_EXEC PT_LOAD segments that are not virtual-address
contiguous (but _are_ file-offset contiguous). This would result in a
giant mapping attempting to cover the entire span, including the virtual
address range hole, and well beyond the size of the ELF file itself,
causing the kernel to refuse to load it. For example:

$ readelf -lW /usr/bin/gcc
...
Program Headers:
  Type Offset   VirtAddr           PhysAddr           FileSiz  MemSiz   ...
...
  LOAD 0x000000 0x4000000000000000 0x4000000000000000 0x00b5a0 0x00b5a0 ...
  LOAD 0x00b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x0005ac 0x000710 ...
...
       ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                    ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^

File offset range     : 0x000000-0x00bb4c
			0x00bb4c bytes

Virtual address range : 0x4000000000000000-0x600000000000bcb0
			0x200000000000bcb0 bytes

Remove the total_mapping_size logic for ET_EXEC, which reduces the
ET_EXEC MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE coverage to only the first PT_LOAD (better
than nothing), and retains it for ET_DYN.

Ironically, this is the reverse of the problem that originally caused
problems with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE: overlapping PT_LOAD segments. Future
work could restore full coverage if load_elf_binary() were to perform
mappings in a separate phase from the loading (where it could resolve
both overlaps and holes).

<id>urn:sha1:5f501d555653f8968011a1e65ebb121c8b43c144</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit b212921b13bd ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf
executable mappings") reverted back to using MAP_FIXED to map ELF LOAD
segments because it was found that the segments in some binaries overlap
and can cause MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE to fail.

The original intent of MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in the ELF loader was to
prevent the silent clobbering of an existing mapping (e.g.  stack) by
the ELF image, which could lead to exploitable conditions.  Quoting
commit 4ed28639519c ("fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map"),
which originally introduced the use of MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in the
loader:

    Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map
    segments [to a specific] address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce
    that. This is however [a] dangerous thing prone to silent data
    corruption which can be even exploitable.
    ...
    Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example ... we could end up mapping
    [the executable] over the existing stack ... The [stack layout] issue
    has been fixed since then ... So we should be safe and any [similar]
    attack should be impractical. On the other hand this is just too
    subtle [an] assumption ... it can break quite easily and [be] hard to
    spot.
    ...
    Address this [weakness] by changing MAP_FIXED to the newly added
    MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. This will mean that mmap will fail if there is
    an existing mapping clashing with the requested one [instead of
    silently] clobbering it.

Then processing ET_DYN binaries the loader already calculates a total
size for the image when the first segment is mapped, maps the entire
image, and then unmaps the remainder before the remaining segments are
then individually mapped.

To avoid the earlier problems (legitimate overlapping LOAD segments
specified in the ELF), apply the same logic to ET_EXEC binaries as well.

For both ET_EXEC and ET_DYN+INTERP use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for the
initial total size mapping and then use MAP_FIXED to build the final
(possibly legitimately overlapping) mappings.  For ET_DYN w/out INTERP,
continue to map at a system-selected address in the mmap region.

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman:
 "Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling
  code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than
  necessary and difficult to follow.

  This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up,
  making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then
  cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the
  coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions
  with the signal handling code is cleaned up.

  The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.

  I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
  the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
  the userspace visible behavior.

  In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
  differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
  currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
  and bug fixes.

  Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
  needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
  still be improved.

  If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
  made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
  short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
  generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
  force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
  signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
  eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
  can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
  per signal_struct"

<content type='text'>
Today when a signal is delivered with a handler of SIG_DFL whose
default behavior is to generate a core dump not only that process but
every process that shares the mm is killed.

In the case of vfork this looks like a real world problem.  Consider
the following well defined sequence.

	if (vfork() == 0) {
		execve(...);
		_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}

If a signal that generates a core dump is received after vfork but
before the execve changes the mm the process that called vfork will
also be killed (as the mm is shared).

Similarly if the execve fails after the point of no return the kernel
delivers SIGSEGV which will kill both the exec'ing process and because
the mm is shared the process that called vfork as well.

As far as I can tell this behavior is a violation of people's
reasonable expectations, POSIX, and is unnecessarily fragile when the
system is low on memory.

Solve this by making a userspace visible change to only kill a single
process/thread group.  This is possible because Jann Horn recently
modified[1] the coredump code so that the mm can safely be modified
while the coredump is happening.  With LinuxThreads long gone I don't
expect anyone to have a notice this behavior change in practice.

To accomplish this move the core_state pointer from mm_struct to
signal_struct, which allows different thread groups to coredump
simultatenously.

In zap_threads remove the work to kill anything except for the current
thread group.

v2: Remove core_state from the VM_BUG_ON_MM print to fix
    compile failure when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.
