sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers

2019-08-04T07:32:03Z

commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream. When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of freeing them. During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace. I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently running task of a different CPU. Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on execve.

userfaultfd: use RCU to free the task struct when fork fails

2019-05-21T16:50:17Z

commit c3f3ce049f7d97cc7ec9c01cb51d9ec74e0f37c2 upstream. The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm->owner. get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() failing fork() ---- --- task = mm->owner mm->owner = NULL; free(task) if (task) *task; /* use after free */ The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path. That is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() (left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing the task structure. An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to succeed. Such a change would require more changes because it would create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be safe. This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code to set mm->owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by mm->owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing. The userfaultfd methods can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland. This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build time.

fork: record start_time late

2019-01-13T09:01:02Z

commit 7b55851367136b1efd84d98fea81ba57a98304cf upstream. This changes the fork(2) syscall to record the process start_time after initializing the basic task structure but still before making the new process visible to user-space. Technically, we could record the start_time anytime during fork(2). But this might lead to scenarios where a start_time is recorded long before a process becomes visible to user-space. For instance, with userfaultfd(2) and TLS, user-space can delay the execution of fork(2) for an indefinite amount of time (and will, if this causes network access, or similar). By recording the start_time late, it much closer reflects the point in time where the process becomes live and can be observed by other processes. Lastly, this makes it much harder for user-space to predict and control the start_time they get assigned. Previously, user-space could fork a process and stall it in copy_thread_tls() before its pid is allocated, but after its start_time is recorded. This can be misused to later-on cycle through PIDs and resume the stalled fork(2) yielding a process that has the same pid and start_time as a process that existed before. This can be used to circumvent security systems that identify processes by their pid+start_time combination. Even though user-space was always aware that start_time recording is flaky (but several projects are known to still rely on start_time-based identification), changing the start_time to be recorded late will help mitigate existing attacks and make it much harder for user-space to control the start_time a process gets assigned.

fork: don't copy inconsistent signal handler state to child

2018-09-15T07:45:27Z

[ Upstream commit 06e62a46bbba20aa5286102016a04214bb446141 ] Before this change, if a multithreaded process forks while one of its threads is changing a signal handler using sigaction(), the memcpy() in copy_sighand() can race with the struct assignment in do_sigaction(). It isn't clear whether this can cause corruption of the userspace signal handler pointer, but it definitely can cause inconsistency between different fields of struct sigaction. Take the appropriate spinlock to avoid this. I have tested that this patch prevents inconsistency between sa_sigaction and sa_flags, which is possible before this patch.

fork: unconditionally clear stack on fork

2018-08-03T05:50:20Z

commit e01e80634ecdde1dd113ac43b3adad21b47f3957 upstream. One of the classes of kernel stack content leaks[1] is exposing the contents of prior heap or stack contents when a new process stack is allocated. Normally, those stacks are not zeroed, and the old contents remain in place. In the face of stack content exposure flaws, those contents can leak to userspace. Fixing this will make the kernel no longer vulnerable to these flaws, as the stack will be wiped each time a stack is assigned to a new process. There's not a meaningful change in runtime performance; it almost looks like it provides a benefit. Performing back-to-back kernel builds before: Run times: 157.86 157.09 158.90 160.94 160.80 Mean: 159.12 Std Dev: 1.54 and after: Run times: 159.31 157.34 156.71 158.15 160.81 Mean: 158.46 Std Dev: 1.46 Instead of making this a build or runtime config, Andy Lutomirski recommended this just be enabled by default. [1] A noisy search for many kinds of stack content leaks can be seen here: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=linux+kernel+stack+leak I did some more with perf and cycle counts on running 100,000 execs of /bin/true. before: Cycles: 218858861551 218853036130 214727610969 227656844122 224980542841 Mean: 221015379122.60 Std Dev: 4662486552.47 after: Cycles: 213868945060 213119275204 211820169456 224426673259 225489986348 Mean: 217745009865.40 Std Dev: 5935559279.99 It continues to look like it's faster, though the deviation is rather wide, but I'm not sure what I could do that would be less noisy. I'm open to ideas!

android: binder: drop lru lock in isolate callback

2017-10-04T00:54:24Z

Drop the global lru lock in isolate callback before calling zap_page_range which calls cond_resched, and re-acquire the global lru lock before returning. Also change return code to LRU_REMOVED_RETRY. Use mmput_async when fail to acquire mmap sem in an atomic context. Fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" errors when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is enabled. Also restore mmput_async, which was initially introduced in commit ec8d7c14ea14 ("mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper context"), and was removed in commit 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently").
