Revert "perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is specified"

2017-07-27T22:03:28Z

commit 6a8a75f3235724c5941a33e287b2f98966ad14c5 upstream. This reverts commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829. This commit introduced a regression that broke rr-project, which uses sampling events to receive a signal on overflow (but does not care about the contents of the sample). These signals are critical to the correct operation of rr. There's been some back and forth about how to fix it - but to not keep applications in limbo queue up a revert.

perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is specified

2017-06-14T10:54:19Z

commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829 upstream. When doing sampling, for example: perf record -e cycles:u ... On workloads that do a lot of kernel entry/exits we see kernel samples, even though :u is specified. This is due to skid existing. This might be a security issue because it can leak kernel addresses even though kernel sampling support is disabled. The patch drops the kernel samples if exclude_kernel is specified. For example, test on Haswell desktop: perf record -e cycles:u perf report --stdio Before patch applied: 99.77% mgen mgen [.] buf_read 0.20% mgen mgen [.] rand_buf_init 0.01% mgen [kernel.vmlinux] [k] apic_timer_interrupt 0.00% mgen mgen [.] last_free_elem 0.00% mgen libc-2.23.so [.] __random_r 0.00% mgen libc-2.23.so [.] _int_malloc 0.00% mgen mgen [.] rand_array_init 0.00% mgen [kernel.vmlinux] [k] page_fault 0.00% mgen libc-2.23.so [.] __random 0.00% mgen libc-2.23.so [.] __strcasestr 0.00% mgen ld-2.23.so [.] strcmp 0.00% mgen ld-2.23.so [.] _dl_start 0.00% mgen libc-2.23.so [.] sched_setaffinity@@GLIBC_2.3.4 0.00% mgen ld-2.23.so [.] _start We can see kernel symbols apic_timer_interrupt and page_fault.

perf: Fix race in swevent hash

2017-05-20T12:18:43Z

commit 12ca6ad2e3a896256f086497a7c7406a547ee373 upstream. There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array while it can still have events on. This will result in a use-after-free which is BAD. Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing around and no use-after-free takes place. When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage will occur.

perf: Fix event->ctx locking

2017-05-20T12:18:43Z

commit f63a8daa5812afef4f06c962351687e1ff9ccb2b upstream. There have been a few reported issues wrt. the lack of locking around changing event->ctx. This patch tries to address those. It avoids the whole rwsem thing; and while it appears to work, please give it some thought in review. What I did fail at is sensible runtime checks on the use of event->ctx, the RCU use makes it very hard. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Paul E.

perf: Tighten (and fix) the grouping condition

2017-05-08T05:44:10Z

commit c3c87e770458aa004bd7ed3f29945ff436fd6511 upstream. The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled. Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice as well by me via the perf fuzzer. Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context. This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage

2017-04-30T03:49:15Z

commit 86038c5ea81b519a8a1fcfcd5e4599aab0cdd119 upstream. Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks

2016-04-12T21:06:22Z

[ Upstream commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 ] By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).
