futex: Forbid uaddr == uaddr2 in futex_wait_requeue_pi()

2012-08-09T23:24:50Z

commit 6f7b0a2a5c0fb03be7c25bd1745baa50582348ef upstream. If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this, as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

futex: Fix bug in WARN_ON for NULL q.pi_state

2012-08-09T23:24:49Z

commit f27071cb7fe3e1d37a9dbe6c0dfc5395cd40fa43 upstream. The WARN_ON in futex_wait_requeue_pi() for a NULL q.pi_state was testing the address (&q.pi_state) of the pointer instead of the value (q.pi_state) of the pointer. Correct it accordingly.

futex: Test for pi_mutex on fault in futex_wait_requeue_pi()

2012-08-09T23:24:49Z

commit b6070a8d9853eda010a549fa9a09eb8d7269b929 upstream. If fixup_pi_state_owner() faults, pi_mutex may be NULL. Test for pi_mutex != NULL before testing the owner against current and possibly unlocking it.

futex: Do not leak robust list to unprivileged process

2012-04-22T22:31:15Z

commit bdbb776f882f5ad431aa1e694c69c1c3d6a4a5b8 upstream. It was possible to extract the robust list head address from a setuid process if it had used set_robust_list(), allowing an ASLR info leak. This changes the permission checks to be the same as those used for similar info that comes out of /proc. Running a setuid program that uses robust futexes would have had: cred->euid != pcred->euid cred->euid == pcred->uid so the old permissions check would allow it. I'm not aware of any setuid programs that use robust futexes, so this is just a preventative measure. (This patch is based on changes from grsecurity.)

futex: Cover all PI opcodes with cmpxchg enabled check

2012-04-02T16:52:30Z

commit 59263b513c11398cd66a52d4c5b2b118ce1e0359 upstream. Some of the newer futex PI opcodes do not check the cmpxchg enabled variable and call unconditionally into the handling functions. Cover all PI opcodes in a separate check. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Darren Hart Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_area

2011-12-31T19:48:28Z

It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the ZERO_PAGE issue. While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping. And are there still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping, and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail? In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all: Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem, because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to interfere when the page reference count is raised. But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount. Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode. Reported-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12Z

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include +#include This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
