don't dump the threads that had been already exiting when zapped.

2020-11-18T18:20:31Z

commit 77f6ab8b7768cf5e6bdd0e72499270a0671506ee upstream. Coredump logics needs to report not only the registers of the dumping thread, but (since 2.5.43) those of other threads getting killed. Doing that might require extra state saved on the stack in asm glue at kernel entry; signal delivery logics does that (we need to be able to save sigcontext there, at the very least) and so does seccomp. That covers all callers of do_coredump(). Secondary threads get hit with SIGKILL and caught as soon as they reach exit_mm(), which normally happens in signal delivery, so those are also fine most of the time. Unfortunately, it is possible to end up with secondary zapped when it has already entered exit(2) (or, worse yet, is oopsing). In those cases we reach exit_mm() when mm->core_state is already set, but the stack contents is not what we would have in signal delivery. At least on two architectures (alpha and m68k) it leads to infoleaks - we end up with a chunk of kernel stack written into coredump, with the contents consisting of normal C stack frames of the call chain leading to exit_mm() instead of the expected copy of userland registers. In case of alpha we leak 312 bytes of stack. Other architectures (including the regset-using ones) might have similar problems - the normal user of regsets is ptrace and the state of tracee at the time of such calls is special in the same way signal delivery is. Note that had the zapper gotten to the exiting thread slightly later, it wouldn't have been included into coredump anyway - we skip the threads that have already cleared their ->mm. So let's pretend that zapper always loses the race. IOW, have exit_mm() only insert into the dumper list if we'd gotten there from handling a fatal signal[*] As the result, the callers of do_exit() that have *not* gone through get_signal() are not seen by coredump logics as secondary threads. Which excludes voluntary exit()/oopsen/traps/etc. The dumper thread itself is unaffected by that, so seccomp is fine. [*] originally I intended to add a new flag in tsk->flags, but ebiederman pointed out that PF_SIGNALED is already doing just what we need.

exit: Move preemption fixup up, move blocking operations down

2020-06-22T07:31:01Z

[ Upstream commit 586b58cac8b4683eb58a1446fbc399de18974e40 ] With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and CONFIG_CGROUPS=y, kernel oopses in non-preemptible context look untidy; after the main oops, the kernel prints a "sleeping function called from invalid context" report because exit_signals() -> cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() -> percpu_down_read() can sleep, and that happens before the preempt_count_set(PREEMPT_ENABLED) fixup. It looks like the same thing applies to profile_task_exit() and kcov_task_exit(). Fix it by moving the preemption fixup up and the calls to profile_task_exit() and kcov_task_exit() down.

exit: panic before exit_mm() on global init exit

2020-01-09T09:20:01Z

commit 43cf75d96409a20ef06b756877a2e72b10a026fc upstream. Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group have exited we panic via: do_exit() -> exit_notify() -> forget_original_parent() -> find_child_reaper() This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init from a kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will have already released global init's mm. This patch moves the panic futher up before exit_mm() is called. As was the case previously, we only panic when global init and all its threads in the thread-group have exited.

futex: Mark the begin of futex exit explicitly

2019-11-29T09:10:11Z

commit 18f694385c4fd77a09851fd301236746ca83f3cb upstream. Instead of relying on PF_EXITING use an explicit state for the futex exit and set it in the futex exit function. This moves the smp barrier and the lock/unlock serialization into the futex code. As with the DEAD state this is restricted to the exit path as exec continues to use the same task struct. This allows to simplify that logic in a next step.

futex: Set task::futex_state to DEAD right after handling futex exit

2019-11-29T09:10:10Z

commit f24f22435dcc11389acc87e5586239c1819d217c upstream. Setting task::futex_state in do_exit() is rather arbitrarily placed for no reason. Move it into the futex code. Note, this is only done for the exit cleanup as the exec cleanup cannot set the state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD because the task struct is still in active use.

exit/exec: Seperate mm_release()

2019-11-29T09:10:10Z

commit 4610ba7ad877fafc0a25a30c6c82015304120426 upstream. mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from do_exit()->exit_mm() and from exec()->exec_mm(). In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the exec_mm() case these states are not touched. As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this needs to be split into two functions. Preparatory only, no functional change.

futex: Replace PF_EXITPIDONE with a state

2019-11-29T09:10:09Z

commit 3d4775df0a89240f671861c6ab6e8d59af8e9e41 upstream. The futex exit handling relies on PF_ flags. That's suboptimal as it requires a smp_mb() and an ugly lock/unlock of the exiting tasks pi_lock in the middle of do_exit() to enforce the observability of PF_EXITING in the futex code. Add a futex_state member to task_struct and convert the PF_EXITPIDONE logic over to the new state. The PF_EXITING dependency will be cleaned up in a later step. This prepares for handling various futex exit issues later.

tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code

2019-09-25T15:42:29Z

Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch(). In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference() excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference() with rcu_dereference(). Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current task has not exited. It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it leaves the run queueue. Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.

tasks: Add a count of task RCU users

2019-09-25T15:42:29Z

Add a count of the number of RCU users (currently 1) of the task struct so that we can later add the scheduler case and get rid of the very subtle task_rcu_dereference(), and just use rcu_dereference(). As suggested by Oleg have the count overlap rcu_head so that no additional space in task_struct is required. Inspired-by: Linus Torvalds Inspired-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Pull pidfd/waitid updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains two features and various tests. First, it adds support for waiting on process through pidfds by adding the P_PIDFD type to the waitid() syscall. This completes the basic functionality of the pidfd api (cf. [1]). In the meantime we also have a new adition to the userspace projects that make use of the pidfd api. The qt project was nice enough to send a mail pointing out that they have a pr up to switch to the pidfd api (cf. [2]). Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner (even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0 together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a discussion on the glibc development mailing list. There are also a range of tests for the features above. Additionally, the test-suite which detected the pidfd-polling race we fixed in [3] is included in this tag" [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/794707/ [2] https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/108456 [3] commit b191d6491be6 ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state") * tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: waitid: Add support for waiting for the current process group tests: add pidfd poll tests tests: move common definitions and functions into pidfd.h pidfd: add pidfd_wait tests pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()
