[ Upstream commit 490b9ba881e2c6337bb09b68010803ae98e59f4a ]

By adding the pidfd_create() declaration to linux/pid.h, we
effectively expose this function to the rest of the kernel. In order
to avoid any unintended behavior, or set false expectations upon this
function, ensure that constraints are forced upon each of the passed
parameters. This includes the checking of whether the passed struct
pid is a thread-group leader as pidfd creation is currently limited to
such pid types.

[ Upstream commit c576e0fcd6188d0edb50b0fb83f853433ef4819b ]

With the idea of returning pidfds from the fanotify API, we need to
expose a mechanism for creating pidfds. We drop the static qualifier
from pidfd_create() and add its declaration to linux/pid.h so that the
pidfd_create() helper can be called from other kernel subsystems
i.e. fanotify.

<title>exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore</title>

[ Upstream commit f7cfd871ae0c5008d94b6f66834e7845caa93c15 ]

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

<title>pidfd: support PIDFD_NONBLOCK in pidfd_open()</title>

Introduce PIDFD_NONBLOCK to support non-blocking pidfd file descriptors.

Ever since the introduction of pidfds and more advanced async io various
programming languages such as Rust have grown support for async event
libraries. These libraries are created to help build epoll-based event loops
around file descriptors. A common pattern is to automatically make all file
descriptors they manage to O_NONBLOCK.

For such libraries the EAGAIN error code is treated specially. When a function
is called that returns EAGAIN the function isn't called again until the event
loop indicates the the file descriptor is ready. Supporting EAGAIN when
waiting on pidfds makes such libraries just work with little effort. In the
following patch we will extend waitid() internally to support non-blocking
pidfds.

This introduces a new flag PIDFD_NONBLOCK that is equivalent to O_NONBLOCK.
This follows the same patterns we have for other (anon inode) file descriptors
such as EFD_NONBLOCK, IN_NONBLOCK, SFD_NONBLOCK, TFD_NONBLOCK and the same for
close-on-exec flags.

Pull checkpoint-restore updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This enables unprivileged checkpoint/restore of processes.

  Given that this work has been going on for quite some time the first
  sentence in this summary is hopefully more exciting than the actual
  final code changes required. Unprivileged checkpoint/restore has seen
  a frequent increase in interest over the last two years and has thus
  been one of the main topics for the combined containers &amp;
  checkpoint/restore microconference since at least 2018 (cf. [1]).

  Here are just the three most frequent use-cases that were brought forward:

   - The JVM developers are integrating checkpoint/restore into a Java
     VM to significantly decrease the startup time.

   - In high-performance computing environment a resource manager will
     typically be distributing jobs where users are always running as
     non-root. Long-running and "large" processes with significant
     startup times are supposed to be checkpointed and restored with
     CRIU.

   - Container migration as a non-root user.

  In all of these scenarios it is either desirable or required to run
  without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The userspace implementation of
  checkpoint/restore CRIU already has the pull request for supporting
  unprivileged checkpoint/restore up (cf. [2]).

  To enable unprivileged checkpoint/restore a new dedicated capability
  CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is introduced. This solution has last been
  discussed in 2019 in a talk by Google at Linux Plumbers (cf. [1]
  "Update on Task Migration at Google Using CRIU") with Adrian and
  Nicolas providing the implementation now over the last months. In
  essence, this allows the CRIU binary to be installed with the
  CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE vfs capability set thereby enabling
  unprivileged users to restore processes.

  To make this possible the following permissions are altered:

   - Selecting a specific PID via clone3() set_tid relaxed from userns
     CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

   - Selecting a specific PID via /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid relaxed
     from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

   - Accessing /proc/pid/map_files relaxed from init userns
     CAP_SYS_ADMIN to init userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

   - Changing /proc/self/exe from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns
     CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

  Of these four changes the /proc/self/exe change deserves a few words
  because the reasoning behind even restricting /proc/self/exe changes
  in the first place is just full of historical quirks and tracking this
  down was a questionable version of fun that I'd like to spare others.

  In short, it is trivial to change /proc/self/exe as an unprivileged
  user, i.e. without userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN right now. Either via ptrace()
  or by simply intercepting the elf loader in userspace during exec.
  Nicolas was nice enough to even provide a POC for the latter (cf. [3])
  to illustrate this fact.

  The original patchset which introduced PR_SET_MM_MAP had no
  permissions around changing the exe link. They too argued that it is
  trivial to spoof the exe link already which is true. The argument
  brought up against this was that the Tomoyo LSM uses the exe link in
  tomoyo_manager() to detect whether the calling process is a policy
  manager. This caused changing the exe links to be guarded by userns
  CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

  All in all this rather seems like a "better guard it with something
  rather than nothing" argument which imho doesn't qualify as a great
  security policy. Again, because spoofing the exe link is possible for
  the calling process so even if this were security relevant it was
  broken back then and would be broken today. So technically, dropping
  all permissions around changing the exe link would probably be
  possible and would send a clearer message to any userspace that relies
  on /proc/self/exe for security reasons that they should stop doing
  this but for now we're only relaxing the exe link permissions from
  userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

  There's a final uapi change in here. Changing the exe link used to
  accidently return EINVAL when the caller lacked the necessary
  permissions instead of the more correct EPERM. This pr contains a
  commit fixing this. I assume that userspace won't notice or care and
  if they do I will revert this commit. But since we are changing the
  permissions anyway it seems like a good opportunity to try this fix.

  With these changes merged unprivileged checkpoint/restore will be
  possible and has already been tested by various users"

Starting from 2c4704756cab ("pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers
from task_struct to signal_struct") __task_pid_nr_ns() doesn't dereference
task-&gt;group_leader, we can remove the pid_alive() check.

pid_nr_ns() has to check pid != NULL anyway, pid_alive() just adds the
unnecessary confusion.
