* futex: Don't enable IRQs unconditionally in put_pi_state()Dan Carpenter2020-11-091-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exit_pi_state_list() function calls put_pi_state() with IRQs disabled and is not expecting that IRQs will be enabled inside the function. Use the _irqsave() variant so that IRQs are restored to the original state instead of being enabled unconditionally. Fixes: 153fbd1226fb ("futex: Fix more put_pi_state() vs. exit_pi_state_list() races") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201106085205.GA1159983@mwanda
* futex: Handle transient "ownerless" rtmutex state correctlyMike Galbraith2020-11-071-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gratian managed to trigger the BUG_ON(!newowner) in fixup_pi_state_owner(). This is one possible chain of events leading to this: Task Prio Operation T1 120 lock(F) T2 120 lock(F) -> blocks (top waiter) T3 50 (RT) lock(F) -> boosts T1 and blocks (new top waiter) XX timeout/ -> wakes T2 signal T1 50 unlock(F) -> wakes T3 (rtmutex->owner == NULL, waiter bit is set) T2 120 cleanup -> try_to_take_mutex() fails because T3 is the top waiter and the lower priority T2 cannot steal the lock. -> fixup_pi_state_owner() sees newowner == NULL -> BUG_ON() The comment states that this is invalid and rt_mutex_real_owner() must return a non NULL owner when the trylock failed, but in case of a queued and woken up waiter rt_mutex_real_owner() == NULL is a valid transient state. The higher priority waiter has simply not yet managed to take over the rtmutex. The BUG_ON() is therefore wrong and this is just another retry condition in fixup_pi_state_owner(). Drop the locks, so that T3 can make progress, and then try the fixup again. Gratian provided a great analysis, traces and a reproducer. The analysis is to the point, but it confused the hell out of that tglx dude who had to page in all the futex horrors again. Condensed version is above.

| * futex: Fix incorrect should_fail_futex() handlingMateusz Nosek2020-10-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If should_futex_fail() returns true in futex_wake_pi(), then the 'ret' variable is set to -EFAULT and then immediately overwritten. So the failure injection is non-functional. Fix it by actually leaving the function and returning -EFAULT. The Fixes tag is kinda blury because the initial commit which introduced failure injection was already sloppy, but the below mentioned commit broke it completely.

The reason is: parent child set FIFO prio 2 vfork() -> set FIFO prio 1 implies wait_for_child() sched_setscheduler(...) exit() do_exit() .... mm_release() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; exit_futex(); (NOOP in this case) complete() --> wakes parent sys_futex() loop infinite because tsk->futex_state == FUTEX_STATE_EXITING The same problem can happen just by regular preemption as well: task holds futex ... do_exit() tsk->futex_state = FUTEX_STATE_EXITING; --> preemption (unrelated wakeup of some other higher prio task, e.g. timer) switch_to(other_task) return to user sys_futex() loop infinite as above Just for the fun of it the futex exit cleanup could trigger the wakeup itself before the task sets its futex state to DEAD. To cure this, the handling of the exiting owner is changed so: - A refcount is held on the task - The task pointer is stored in a caller visible location - The caller drops all locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and blocks on task::futex_exit_mutex. When the mutex is acquired then the exiting task has completed the cleanup and the state is consistent and can be reevaluated. This is not a pretty solution, but there is no choice other than returning an error code to user space, which would break the state consistency guarantee and open another can of problems including regressions. For stable backports the preparatory commits ac31c7ff8624 .. ba31c1a48538 are required as well, but for anything older than 5.3.y the backports are going to be provided when this hits mainline as the other dependencies for those kernels are definitely not stable material.

* futex: Provide state handling for exec() as wellThomas Gleixner2019-11-201-4/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exec() attempts to handle potentially held futexes gracefully by running the futex exit handling code like exit() does. The current implementation has no protection against concurrent incoming waiters. The reason is that the futex state cannot be set to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD after the cleanup because the task struct is still active and just about to execute the new binary. While its arguably buggy when a task holds a futex over exec(), for consistency sake the state handling can at least cover the actual futex exit cleanup section. This provides state consistency protection accross the cleanup. As the futex state of the task becomes FUTEX_STATE_OK after the cleanup has been finished, this cannot prevent subsequent attempts to attach to the task in case that the cleanup was not successfull in mopping up all leftovers.

* futex: Prevent robust futex exit raceYang Tao2019-11-151-7/+51

The exit can be voluntary or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever. The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust list. After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared. The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and tries to wake up a potential waiter. This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected. (1) Unlocking task is killed after unlocking the futex value in user space before being able to wake a waiter. pthread_mutex_unlock() | V atomic_exchange_rel (&mutex->__data.__lock, 0) <------------------------killed lll_futex_wake () | | |(__lock = 0) |(enter kernel) | V do_exit() exit_mm() mm_release() exit_robust_list() handle_futex_death() | |(__lock = 0) |(uval = 0) | V if ((uval & FUTEX_TID_MASK) != task_pid_vnr(curr)) return 0; The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters which in consequence block infinitely. (2) Waiting task is killed after a wakeup and before it can acquire the futex in user space. OWNER WAITER futex_wait() pthread_mutex_unlock() | | | |(__lock = 0) | | | V | futex_wake() ------------> wakeup() | |(return to userspace) |(__lock = 0) | V oldval = mutex->__data.__lock <-----------------killed atomic_compare_and_exchange_val_acq (&mutex->__data.__lock, | id | assume_other_futex_waiters, 0) | | | (enter kernel)| | V do_exit() | | V handle_futex_death() | |(__lock = 0) |(uval = 0) | V if ((uval & FUTEX_TID_MASK) != task_pid_vnr(curr)) return 0; The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters, which seems to be correct as the exiting task does not own the futex value, but the consequence is that other waiters wont be woken up and block infinitely. In both scenarios the following conditions are true: - task->robust_list->list_op_pending != NULL - user space futex value == 0 - Regular futex (not PI) If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems. As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the correctness of these operations. This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended. Setting OWNER_DIED in this case would result in inconsistent state and subsequently in malfunction of the owner died handling in user space. The rest of the user space state is still consistent as no other task can observe the list_op_pending entry in the exiting tasks robust list. The eventually woken up waiter will observe the uncontended lock value and take it over. [ tglx: Massaged changelog and comment.

* locking/futex: Allow low-level atomic operations to return -EAGAINWill Deacon2019-04-261-71/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some futex() operations, including FUTEX_WAKE_OP, require the kernel to perform an atomic read-modify-write of the futex word via the userspace mapping. These operations are implemented by each architecture in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), which are called in atomic context with the relevant hash bucket locks held. Although these routines may return -EFAULT in response to a page fault generated when accessing userspace, they are expected to succeed (i.e. return 0) in all other cases. This poses a problem for architectures that do not provide bounded forward progress guarantees or fairness of contended atomic operations and can lead to starvation in some cases. In these problematic scenarios, we must return back to the core futex code so that we can drop the hash bucket locks and reschedule if necessary, much like we do in the case of a page fault. Allow architectures to return -EAGAIN from their implementations of arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), which will cause the core futex code to reschedule if necessary and return back to the architecture code later on.

This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable futex_pi_state.refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the futex_pi_state.refcount it might make a difference in following places: - get_pi_state() and exit_pi_state_list(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart - put_pi_state(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users, specifically futexes and rwsems, required fixes that allowed the callers to be safe when wakeups occur before they are expected by wake_up_q(). Such scenarios also play games and rely on reference counting, and until now were pivoting on wake_q doing it. With the wake_q_add() call being moved down, this can no longer be the case. As such we end up with a a double task refcounting overhead; and these callers care enough about this (being rather core-ish). This patch introduces a wake_q_add_safe() call that serves for callers that have already done refcounting and therefore the task is 'safe' from wake_q point of view (int that it requires reference throughout the entire queue/>wakeup cycle). In the one case it has internal reference counting, in the other case it consumes the reference counting.

| * | futex: No need to check return value of debugfs_create functionsGreg Kroah-Hartman2019-01-291-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.
