signal: Better detection of synchronous signals

2019-02-15T07:07:37Z

commit 7146db3317c67b517258cb5e1b08af387da0618b upstream. Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP, and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying. When the stack overflows delivery of SIGHUP fails and force_sigsegv is called. Unfortunately because SIGSEGV is numerically higher than SIGHUP next_signal tries again to deliver a SIGHUP. From a quality of implementation standpoint attempting to deliver the timer SIGHUP signal is wrong. We should attempt to deliver the synchronous SIGSEGV signal we just forced. We can make that happening in a fairly straight forward manner by instead of just looking at the signal number we also look at the si_code. In particular for exceptions (aka synchronous signals) the si_code is always greater than 0. That still has the potential to pick up a number of asynchronous signals as in a few cases the same si_codes that are used for synchronous signals are also used for asynchronous signals, and SI_KERNEL is also included in the list of possible si_codes. Still the heuristic is much better and timer signals are definitely excluded. Which is enough to prevent all known ways for someone sending a process signals fast enough to cause unexpected and arguably incorrect behavior.

signal: Always notice exiting tasks

2019-02-15T07:07:37Z

commit 35634ffa1751b6efd8cf75010b509dcb0263e29b upstream. Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP, and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying. Upon examination it turns out part of the problem is actually most of the solution. Since 2.5 signal delivery has found all fatal signals, marked the signal group for death, and queued SIGKILL in every threads thread queue relying on signal->group_exit_code to preserve the information of which was the actual fatal signal. The conversion of all fatal signals to SIGKILL results in the synchronous signal heuristic in next_signal kicking in and preferring SIGHUP to SIGKILL. Which is especially problematic as all fatal signals have already been transformed into SIGKILL. Instead of dequeueing signals and depending upon SIGKILL to be the first signal dequeued, first test if the signal group has already been marked for death. This guarantees that nothing in the signal queue can prevent a process that needs to exit from exiting.

perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes

2019-02-12T18:45:01Z

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream. The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from kmalloc. When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in __alloc_pages_nodemask(): WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8 Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible before calling kzalloc.

proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax()

2019-02-12T18:44:59Z

[ Upstream commit 09be178400829dddc1189b50a7888495dd26aa84 ] If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an EINVAL error will be returned. For example, we use proc_doulongvec_minmax to pass up to two parameters with kern_table: { .procname = "monitor_signals", .data = &monitor_sigs, .maxlen = 2*sizeof(unsigned long), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = proc_doulongvec_minmax, }, Reproduce: When passing two parameters, it's work normal. But passing only one parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# The following is the result after apply this patch. No error is returned when the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 0 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# There are three processing functions dealing with digital parameters, __do_proc_dointvec/__do_proc_douintvec/__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as __do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'. In __do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support multiple inputs. static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){ ... /* * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add * support for them. */ if (vleft != 1) { *lenp = 0; return -EINVAL; } ... } So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem. And most use of proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one parameter.

kernel/hung_task.c: break RCU locks based on jiffies

2019-02-12T18:44:59Z

[ Upstream commit 304ae42739b108305f8d7b3eb3c1aec7c2b643a9 ] check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() is currently calling rcu_lock_break() for every 1024 threads. But check_hung_task() is very slow if printk() was called, and is very fast otherwise. If many threads within some 1024 threads called printk(), the RCU grace period might be extended enough to trigger RCU stall warnings. Therefore, calling rcu_lock_break() for every some fixed jiffies will be safer.

timekeeping: Use proper seqcount initializer

[ Upstream commit ce10a5b3954f2514af726beb78ed8d7350c5e41c ] tk_core.seq is initialized open coded, but that misses to initialize the lockdep map when lockdep is enabled.

kernel/exit.c: release ptraced tasks before zap_pid_ns_processes

2019-02-06T16:33:29Z

commit 8fb335e078378c8426fabeed1ebee1fbf915690c upstream. Currently, exit_ptrace() adds all ptraced tasks in a dead list, then zap_pid_ns_processes() waits on all tasks in a current pidns, and only then are tasks from the dead list released. zap_pid_ns_processes() can get stuck on waiting tasks from the dead list. In this case, we will have one unkillable process with one or more dead children. Thanks to Oleg for the advice to release tasks in find_child_reaper().

mm, devm_memremap_pages: kill mapping "System RAM" support

2019-01-13T09:03:51Z

commit 06489cfbd915ff36c8e36df27f1c2dc60f97ca56 upstream. Given the fact that devm_memremap_pages() requires a percpu_ref that is torn down by devm_memremap_pages_release() the current support for mapping RAM is broken. Support for remapping "System RAM" has been broken since the beginning and there is no existing user of this this code path, so just kill the support and make it an explicit error. This cleanup also simplifies a follow-on patch to fix the error path when setting a devm release action for devm_memremap_pages_release() fails.

mm, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

2019-01-13T09:03:51Z

commit 808153e1187fa77ac7d7dad261ff476888dcf398 upstream. devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core aspects of page management. Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory hotplug functionality. It injects an altmap argument deep into the architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and get_user_pages_fast(). It was an oversight and a mistake that this was not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset. Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies. Only an in-kernel GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution. This interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable for kernel-external drivers.

fork: record start_time late

2019-01-13T09:03:51Z

commit 7b55851367136b1efd84d98fea81ba57a98304cf upstream. This changes the fork(2) syscall to record the process start_time after initializing the basic task structure but still before making the new process visible to user-space. Technically, we could record the start_time anytime during fork(2). But this might lead to scenarios where a start_time is recorded long before a process becomes visible to user-space. For instance, with userfaultfd(2) and TLS, user-space can delay the execution of fork(2) for an indefinite amount of time (and will, if this causes network access, or similar). By recording the start_time late, it much closer reflects the point in time where the process becomes live and can be observed by other processes. Lastly, this makes it much harder for user-space to predict and control the start_time they get assigned. Previously, user-space could fork a process and stall it in copy_thread_tls() before its pid is allocated, but after its start_time is recorded. This can be misused to later-on cycle through PIDs and resume the stalled fork(2) yielding a process that has the same pid and start_time as a process that existed before. This can be used to circumvent security systems that identify processes by their pid+start_time combination. Even though user-space was always aware that start_time recording is flaky (but several projects are known to still rely on start_time-based identification), changing the start_time to be recorded late will help mitigate existing attacks and make it much harder for user-space to control the start_time a process gets assigned.
