futex: Drop refcount if requeue_pi() acquired the rtmutex

2016-02-25T19:58:56Z

commit fb75a4282d0d9a3c7c44d940582c2d226cf3acfb upstream. If the proxy lock in the requeue loop acquires the rtmutex for a waiter then it acquired also refcount on the pi_state related to the futex, but the waiter side does not drop the reference count. Add the missing free_pi_state() call.

ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks

2016-02-25T19:58:52Z

commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 upstream. By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters

2016-02-25T19:58:52Z

commit b71b437eedaed985062492565d9d421d975ae845 upstream. Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not apply) on inherited events. The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent) event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters. This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

kernel/signal.c: unexport sigsuspend()

2016-02-17T20:34:34Z

commit 9d8a765211335cfdad464b90fb19f546af5706ae upstream. sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it static do not pollute the global namespace. But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0() It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug. It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-) Fixes: 68f3f16d9ad0f1 ("new helper: sigsuspend()") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Reported-by: Vegard Nossum Tested-by: Vegard Nossum Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

module: Fix locking in symbol_put_addr()

2015-11-09T20:50:25Z

commit 275d7d44d802ef271a42dc87ac091a495ba72fc5 upstream. Poma (on the way to another bug) reported an assertion triggering: [] module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x49/0x90 [] __module_address+0x32/0x150 [] __module_text_address+0x16/0x70 [] symbol_put_addr+0x29/0x40 [] dvb_frontend_detach+0x7d/0x90 [dvb_core] Laura Abbott produced a patch which lead us to inspect symbol_put_addr(). This function has a comment claiming it doesn't need to disable preemption around the module lookup because it holds a reference to the module it wants to find, which therefore cannot go away. This is wrong (and a false optimization too, preempt_disable() is really rather cheap, and I doubt any of this is on uber critical paths, otherwise it would've retained a pointer to the actual module anyway and avoided the second lookup). While its true that the module cannot go away while we hold a reference on it, the data structure we do the lookup in very much _CAN_ change while we do the lookup. Therefore fix the comment and add the required preempt_disable().

sched/preempt: Fix cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()

2015-10-27T00:45:59Z

commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream. These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable: preempt_count always non-zero => should_resched() always returns false. cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set. This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched(). preempt_count offset constants for that: PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after preempt_disable() PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock() SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after local_bh_distable() SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock_bh() Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: David Vrabel Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: bdb438065890 ("sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150715095204.12246.98268.stgit@buzz Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu

2015-10-27T00:45:58Z

commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76 upstream. My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu. schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu. The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()

2015-10-22T21:39:22Z

commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream. Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created. In the case of a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory. This race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to hit with async probing.
