* x86_64, entry: Fix out of bounds read on sysenterAndy Lutomirski2014-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rusty noticed a Really Bad Bug (tm) in my NT fix. The entry code reads out of bounds, causing the NT fix to be unreliable. But, and this is much, much worse, if your stack is somehow just below the top of the direct map (or a hole), you read out of bounds and crash. Excerpt from the crash: [ 1.129513] RSP: 0018:ffff88001da4bf88 EFLAGS: 00010296 2b:* f7 84 24 90 00 00 00 testl $0x4000,0x90(%rsp) That read is deterministically above the top of the stack. I thought I even single-stepped through this code when I wrote it to check the offset, but I clearly screwed it up.

We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the syscall... For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch) So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical syscall entry. The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm field. Removing some dead functions and structs.

* | x86_64, entry: Filter RFLAGS.NT on entry from userspaceAndy Lutomirski2014-10-061-1/+17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NT flag doesn't do anything in long mode other than causing IRET to #GP. Oddly, CPL3 code can still set NT using popf. Entry via hardware or software interrupt clears NT automatically, so the only relevant entries are fast syscalls. If user code causes kernel code to run with NT set, then there's at least some (small) chance that it could cause trouble. For example, user code could cause a call to EFI code with NT set, and who knows what would happen? Apparently some games on Wine sometimes do this (!), and, if an IRET return happens, they will segfault. That segfault cannot be handled, because signal delivery fails, too. This patch programs the CPU to clear NT on entry via SYSCALL (both 32-bit and 64-bit, by my reading of the AMD APM), and it clears NT in software on entry via SYSENTER. To save a few cycles, this borrows a trick from Jan Beulich in Xen: it checks whether NT is set before trying to clear it. As a result, it seems to have very little effect on SYSENTER performance on my machine. There's another minor bug fix in here: it looks like the CFI annotations were wrong if CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=n. Testers beware: on Xen, SYSENTER with NT set turns into a GPF. I haven't touched anything on 32-bit kernels. The syscall mask change comes from a variant of this patch by Anish Bhatt. Note to stable maintainers: there is no known security issue here. A misguided program can set NT and cause the kernel to try and fail to deliver SIGSEGV, crashing the program.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag.

| * audit: ia32entry.S sign extend error codes when calling 64 bit codeEric Paris2012-01-171-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the ia32entry syscall exit audit fastpath we have assembly code which calls __audit_syscall_exit directly. This code was, however, zeroes the upper 32 bits of the return code. It then proceeded to call code which expects longs to be 64bits long. In order to handle code which expects longs to be 64bit we sign extend the return code if that code is an error. Thus the __audit_syscall_exit function can correctly handle using the values in snprintf("%ld"). This fixes the regression introduced in 5cbf1565f29eb57a86a.

| * Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris2012-01-171-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GET_THREAD_INFO() involves a memory read immediately followed by an "sub" on the value read, in turn (in several cases) immediately followed by a use of the calculated value as the base address of a memory access. This combination of instructions has a non-negligible potential for stalls. In the system call entry point code, however, the (fixed) offset of the stack pointer from the end of the stack is generally known, and hence we can instead avoid the memory load and subtract, and instead do the memory reference using %rsp as the base register. To do so in a legible fashion, introduce a THREAD_INFO() macro which, provided a register (generally %rsp) and the known offset from the end of the stack, produces a suitable memory access operand. The patch attempts to only touch the fast paths (no auditing and alike), but manages to do so only in the 64-bit entry point case; the compatibility mode entry points have so many interdependencies between their various branch targets that it was necessary to also adjust the slow paths to eliminate the risk of having missed some register dependency during code analysis.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a double copy of the message via shared memory. The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current process's address space into a destination process's address space. - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with using it: - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or written to would need to be contiguous. - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call, but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping (reason appears to have been lost) - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view, especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands of processes that all need to do this with each other - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to consider adding in the future (see below) - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily) As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying. There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source and destination and store it in the destination. Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up when the mm changes. There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2 There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for 64-bit kernels.

* ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman2011-05-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W.

* introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file systemSage Weil2011-03-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64 bits, we always, by necessity, jump through the system call table via %rax. For 32-bit system calls, in theory the system call number is stored in %eax, and the code was testing %eax for a valid system call number. At one point we loaded the stored value back from the stack to enforce zero-extension, but that was removed in checkin d4d67150165df8bf1cc05e532f6efca96f907cab. An actual 32-bit process will not be able to introduce a non-zero-extended number, but it can happen via ptrace. Instead of re-introducing the zero-extension, test what we are actually going to use, i.e. %rax. This only adds a handful of REX prefixes to the code.
