posix-cpu-timers: Get rid of zero checks

2019-08-28T09:50:40Z

Deactivation of the expiry cache is done by setting all clock caches to 0. That requires to have a check for zero in all places which update the expiry cache: if (cache == 0 || new < cache) cache = new; Use U64_MAX as the deactivated value, which allows to remove the zero checks when updating the cache and reduces it to the obvious check: if (new < cache) cache = new; This also removes the weird workaround in do_prlimit() which was required to convert a RLIMIT_CPU value of 0 (immediate expiry) to 1 because handing in 0 to the posix CPU timer code would have effectively disarmed it.

rlimit: Rewrite non-sensical RLIMIT_CPU comment

2019-08-28T09:50:40Z

The comment above the function which arms RLIMIT_CPU in the posix CPU timer code makes no sense at all. It claims that the kernel does not return an error code when it rejected the attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU. That's clearly bogus as the code does an error check and the rlimit is only set and activated when the permission checks are ok. In case of a rejection an appropriate error code is returned. This is a historical and outdated comment which got dragged along even when the rlimit handling code was rewritten. Replace it with an explanation why the setup function is not called when the rlimit value is RLIM_INFINITY and how the 'disarming' is handled.

arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the tagged user addresses ABI

2019-08-06T17:08:45Z

It is not desirable to relax the ABI to allow tagged user addresses into the kernel indiscriminately. This patch introduces a prctl() interface for enabling or disabling the tagged ABI with a global sysctl control for preventing applications from enabling the relaxed ABI (meant for testing user-space prctl() return error checking without reconfiguring the kernel). The ABI properties are inherited by threads of the same application and fork()'ed children but cleared on execve(). A Kconfig option allows the overall disabling of the relaxed ABI. The PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL will be expanded in the future to handle MTE-specific settings like imprecise vs precise exceptions.

x86/mpx: Remove MPX APIs

2019-07-22T09:54:57Z

MPX is being removed from the kernel due to a lack of support in the toolchain going forward (gcc). The first step is to remove the userspace-visible ABIs so that applications will stop using it. The most visible one are the enable/disable prctl()s. Remove them first. This is the most minimal and least invasive change needed to ensure that apps stop using MPX with new kernels.

prctl_set_mm: downgrade mmap_sem to read lock

2019-06-01T22:51:31Z

The commit a3b609ef9f8b ("proc read mm's {arg,env}_{start,end} with mmap semaphore taken.") added synchronization of reading argument/environment boundaries under mmap_sem. Later commit 88aa7cc688d4 ("mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|end and env_start|end in mm_struct") avoided the coarse use of mmap_sem in similar situations. But there still remained two places that (mis)use mmap_sem. get_cmdline should also use arg_lock instead of mmap_sem when it reads the boundaries. The second place that should use arg_lock is in prctl_set_mm. By protecting the boundaries fields with the arg_lock, we can downgrade mmap_sem to reader lock (analogous to what we already do in prctl_set_mm_map).

prctl_set_mm: refactor checks from validate_prctl_map

2019-06-01T22:51:31Z

Despite comment of validate_prctl_map claims there are no capability checks, it is not completely true since commit 4d28df6152aa ("prctl: Allow local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file"). Extract the check out of the function and make the function perform purely arithmetic checks. This patch should not change any behavior, it is mere refactoring for following patch.

kernel/sys.c: prctl: fix false positive in validate_prctl_map()

2019-05-14T16:47:44Z

While validating new map we require the @start_data to be strictly less than @end_data, which is fine for regular applications (this is why this nit didn't trigger for that long). These members are set from executable loaders such as elf handers, still it is pretty valid to have a loadable data section with zero size in file, in such case the start_data is equal to end_data once kernel loader finishes. As a result when we're trying to restore such programs the procedure fails and the kernel returns -EINVAL. From the image dump of a program: | "mm_start_code": "0x400000", | "mm_end_code": "0x8f5fb4", | "mm_start_data": "0xf1bfb0", | "mm_end_data": "0xf1bfb0", Thus we need to change validate_prctl_map from strictly less to less or equal operator use.
