kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh

2022-06-09T08:25:16Z

commit 343f4c49f2438d8920f1f76fa823ee59b91f02e4 upstream. If kthread_is_per_cpu runs concurrently with free_kthread_struct the kthread_struct that was just freed may be read from. This bug was introduced by commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads"). When kthread_struct started to be allocated for all tasks that have PF_KTHREAD set. This in turn required the kthread_struct to be freed in kernel_execve and violated the assumption that kthread_struct will have the same lifetime as the task. Looking a bit deeper this only applies to callers of kernel_execve which is just the init process and the user mode helper processes. These processes really don't want to be kernel threads but are for historical reasons. Mostly that copy_thread does not know how to take a kernel mode function to the process with for processes without PF_KTHREAD or PF_IO_WORKER set. Solve this by not allocating kthread_struct for the init process and the user mode helper processes. This is done by adding a kthread member to struct kernel_clone_args. Setting kthread in fork_idle and kernel_thread. Adding user_mode_thread that works like kernel_thread except it does not set kthread. In fork only allocating the kthread_struct if .kthread is set. I have looked at kernel/kthread.c and since commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") there have been no assumptions added that to_kthread or __to_kthread will not return NULL. There are a few callers of to_kthread or __to_kthread that assume a non-NULL struct kthread pointer will be returned. These functions are kthread_data(), kthread_parmme(), kthread_exit(), kthread(), kthread_park(), kthread_unpark(), kthread_stop(). All of those functions can reasonably expected to be called when it is know that a task is a kthread so that assumption seems reasonable.

mm: refactor vm_area_struct::anon_vma_name usage code

2022-03-05T19:08:32Z

Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by using struct anon_vma_name whenever possible. This simplifies the code and allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they represent the same name.

Pull pidfd fix from Christian Brauner: "This fixes a problem reported by lockdep when installing a pidfd via fd_install() with siglock and the tasklisk write lock held in copy_process() when calling clone()/clone3() with CLONE_PIDFD. Originally a pidfd was created prior to holding any of these locks but this required a call to ksys_close(). So quite some time ago in 6fd2fe494b17 ("copy_process(): don't use ksys_close() on cleanups") we switched to a get_unused_fd_flags() + fd_install() model. As part of that we moved fd_install() as late as possible. This was done for two main reasons. First, because we needed to ensure that we call fd_install() past the point of no return as once that's called the fd is live in the task's file table. Second, because we tried to ensure that the fd is visible in /proc//fd/ right when the task is visible. This fix moves the fd_install() to an even later point which means that a task will be visible in proc while the pidfd isn't yet under /proc//fd/. While this is a user visible change it's very unlikely that this will have any impact. Nobody should be relying on that and if they do we need to come up with something better but again, it's doubtful this is relevant" * tag 'pidfd.v5.17-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: copy_process(): Move fd_install() out of sighand->siglock critical section

sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() races

2022-02-19T10:11:05Z

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.

ucounts: Enforce RLIMIT_NPROC not RLIMIT_NPROC+1

This can be fixed either by fixing the test or by moving the increment to be before the test. Fix it my moving copy_creds which contains the increment before is_ucounts_overlimit. In the case of CLONE_NEWUSER the ucounts in the task_cred changes. The function is_ucounts_overlimit needs to use the final version of the ucounts for the new process. Which means moving the is_ucounts_overlimit test after copy_creds is necessary. Both the test in fork and the test in set_user were semantically changed when the code moved to ucounts. The change of the test in fork was bad because it was before the increment. The test in set_user was wrong and the change to ucounts fixed it. So this fix only restores the old behavior in one lcation not two.

Obviously, holding these two locks are not really needed to protect the fd_install() call. So move the fd_install() call down to after the releases of both locks.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found along the way. The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on the stack. Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task are the big successes for dead code removal this round. A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes they were fixing. There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some rebasing. Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
