commit b1e8206582f9d680cff7d04828708c8b6ab32957 upstream.

Where commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an
invalid sched_task_group") fixed a fork race vs cgroup, it opened up a
race vs syscalls by not placing the task on the runqueue before it
gets exposed through the pidhash.

Commit 13765de8148f ("sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity") is
trying to fix a single instance of this, instead fix the whole class
of issues, effectively reverting this commit.

<title>sched/cputime: Fix getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD) with nohz_full</title>

<content type='text'>
getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD) with nohz_full may return shorter utime/stime
than the actual time.

task_cputime_adjusted() snapshots utime and stime and then adjust their
sum to match the scheduler maintained cputime.sum_exec_runtime.
Unfortunately in nohz_full, sum_exec_runtime is only updated once per
second in the worst case, causing a discrepancy against utime and stime
that can be updated anytime by the reader using vtime.

To fix this situation, perform an update of cputime.sum_exec_runtime
when the cputime snapshot reports the task as actually running while
the tick is disabled. The related overhead is then contained within the
relevant situations.

<title>shm: extend forced shm destroy to support objects from several IPC nses</title>
<updated>2021-11-20T18:35:54Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Alexander Mikhalitsyn</name>
</author>
<published>2021-11-20T00:43:21Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=85b6d24646e4125c591639841169baa98a2da503'/>
<id>urn:sha1:85b6d24646e4125c591639841169baa98a2da503</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the exit_shm() function not designed to work properly when
task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist holds shm objects from different IPC namespaces.

This is a real pain when sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, because it
leads to use-after-free (reproducer exists).

This is an attempt to fix the problem by extending exit_shm mechanism to
handle shm's destroy from several IPC ns'es.

To achieve that we do several things:

1. add a namespace (non-refcounted) pointer to the struct shmid_kernel

2. during new shm object creation (newseg()/shmget syscall) we
   initialize this pointer by current task IPC ns

3. exit_shm() fully reworked such that it traverses over all shp's in
   task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist and gets IPC namespace not from current task
   as it was before but from shp's object itself, then call
   shm_destroy(shp, ns).

Note: We need to be really careful here, because as it was said before
(1), our pointer to IPC ns non-refcnt'ed.  To be on the safe side we
using special helper get_ipc_ns_not_zero() which allows to get IPC ns
refcounter only if IPC ns not in the "state of destruction".

Q/A

Q: Why can we access shp-&gt;ns memory using non-refcounted pointer?
A: Because shp object lifetime is always shorther than IPC namespace
   lifetime, so, if we get shp object from the task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist
   while holding task_lock(task) nobody can steal our namespace.

Q: Does this patch change semantics of unshare/setns/clone syscalls?
A: No. It's just fixes non-covered case when process may leave IPC
   namespace without getting task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist list cleaned up.

<title>signal: Replace force_fatal_sig with force_exit_sig when in doubt</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fcb116bc43c8c37c052530ead79872f8b2615711</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals
being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added.

Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect
to be able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when
the target process is not configured to handle those signals.

Add force_exit_sig and use it instead of force_fatal_sig where
historically the code has directly called do_exit.  This has the
implementation benefits of going through the signal exit path
(including generating core dumps) without the danger of allowing
userspace to ignore or change these signals.

This avoids userspace regressions as older kernels exited with do_exit
which debuggers also can not intercept.

In the future is should be possible to improve the quality of
implementation of the kernel by changing some of these force_exit_sig
calls to force_fatal_sig.  That can be done where it matters on
a case-by-case basis with careful analysis.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
  found several instances where the code is not using the existing
  abstractions properly.

  This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
  signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
  the existing abstractions that I found.

  A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
  as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
  hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
  calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

  In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
  where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
  found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
  makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
  allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp

  And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
  wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

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"

The function end_of_stack() returns a pointer to the last entry of a
stack. For architectures like parisc where the stack grows upwards
return the pointer to the highest address in the stack.

Without this change I faced a crash on parisc, because the stackleak
functionality wrote STACKLEAK_POISON to the lowest address and thus
overwrote the first 4 bytes of the task_struct which included the
TIF_FLAGS.

<title>signal: Implement force_fatal_sig</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26d5badbccddcc063dc5174a2baffd13a23322aa</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a simple helper force_fatal_sig that causes a signal to be
delivered to a process as if the signal handler was set to SIG_DFL.

Reimplement force_sigsegv based upon this new helper.  This fixes
force_sigsegv so that when it forces the default signal handler
to be used the code now forces the signal to be unblocked as well.

Reusing the tested logic in force_sig_info_to_task that was built for
force_sig_seccomp this makes the implementation trivial.

This is interesting both because it makes force_sigsegv simpler and
because there are a couple of buggy places in the kernel that call
do_exit(SIGILL) or do_exit(SIGSYS) because there is no straight
forward way today for those places to simply force the exit of a
process with the chosen signal.  Creating force_fatal_sig allows
those places to be implemented with normal signal exits.
