mm: optimize the redundant loop of mm_update_owner_next()

2024-07-18T09:40:51Z

commit cf3f9a593dab87a032d2b6a6fb205e7f3de4f0a1 upstream. When mm_update_owner_next() is racing with swapoff (try_to_unuse()) or /proc or ptrace or page migration (get_task_mm()), it is impossible to find an appropriate task_struct in the loop whose mm_struct is the same as the target mm_struct. If the above race condition is combined with the stress-ng-zombie and stress-ng-dup tests, such a long loop can easily cause a Hard Lockup in write_lock_irq() for tasklist_lock. Recognize this situation in advance and exit early.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2023-06-09T08:29:01Z

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream. Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var$([^$]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space. No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0 for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64, alpha, and m68k.

exit: Use READ_ONCE() for all oops/warn limit reads

exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops

2023-02-06T06:52:49Z

commit d4ccd54d28d3c8598e2354acc13e28c060961dbb upstream. Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and this causes a counter to eventually overflow. The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms that much nowadays.) So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing. The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or a text console that oopses will be printed to. In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork() child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per run. (Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock contention.) It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark. 12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-06T06:52:49Z

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream. There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept. Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code is doing. As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

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.
