livepatch: fix race between fork and KLP transition

2022-09-01T12:53:18Z

The KLP transition code depends on the TIF_PATCH_PENDING and the task->patch_state to stay in sync. On a normal (forward) transition, TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be set on every task in the system, while on a reverse transition (after a failed forward one) first TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be cleared from every task, followed by it being set on tasks that need to be transitioned back to the original code. However, the fork code copies over the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag from the parent to the child early on, in dup_task_struct and setup_thread_stack. Much later, klp_copy_process will set child->patch_state to match that of the parent. However, the parent's patch_state may have been changed by KLP loading or unloading since it was initially copied over into the child. This results in the KLP code occasionally hitting this warning in klp_complete_transition: for_each_process_thread(g, task) { WARN_ON_ONCE(test_tsk_thread_flag(task, TIF_PATCH_PENDING)); task->patch_state = KLP_UNDEFINED; } Set, or clear, the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag in the child task depending on whether or not it is needed at the time klp_copy_process is called, at a point in copy_process where the tasklist_lock is held exclusively, preventing races with the KLP code. The KLP code does have a few places where the state is changed without the tasklist_lock held, but those should not cause problems because klp_update_patch_state(current) cannot be called while the current task is in the middle of fork, klp_check_and_switch_task() which is called under the pi_lock, which prevents rescheduling, and manipulation of the patch state of idle tasks, which do not fork. This should prevent this warning from triggering again in the future, and close the race for both normal and reverse transitions.

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing permission check to ptrace.c The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the semantics clearer). For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand" * tag 'ptrace-cleanups-for-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: ptrace: Remove duplicated include in ptrace.c ptrace: Check PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP permission on PTRACE_SEIZE ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop tracehook: Remove tracehook.h resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures task_work: Introduce task_work_pending task_work: Remove unnecessary include from posix_timers.h ptrace: Remove tracehook_signal_handler ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h

livepatch: Don't block removal of patches that are safe to unload

2022-03-17T18:02:30Z

module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still be in use after forced transition. klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on the list. In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition. In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag: + only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED state was forced. + all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.

tracehook: Remove tracehook.h

2022-03-10T22:51:51Z

Now that all of the definitions have moved out of tracehook.h into ptrace.h, sched/signal.h, resume_user_mode.h there is nothing left in tracehook.h so remove it. Update the few files that were depending upon tracehook.h to bring in definitions to use the headers they need directly.

2021-08-19T10:00:24Z

The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock(). Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version. The behavior remains unchanged.

livepatch: Replace the fake signal sending with TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL infrastructure

2021-03-30T07:40:21Z

Livepatch sends a fake signal to all remaining blocking tasks of a running transition after a set period of time. It uses TIF_SIGPENDING flag for the purpose. Commit 12db8b690010 ("entry: Add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL") added a generic infrastructure to achieve the same. Replace our bespoke solution with the generic one.

livepatch: Keep replaced patches until post_patch callback is called

2019-11-01T12:08:08Z

Pre/post (un)patch callbacks might manipulate the system state. Cumulative livepatches might need to take over the changes made by the replaced ones. For this they might need to access some data stored or referenced by the old livepatches. Therefore the replaced livepatches have to stay around until post_patch() callback is called. It is achieved by calling the free functions later. It is the same location where disabled livepatches have already been freed.
