* ipc/msg: introduce msgctl(MSG_STAT_ANY)Davidlohr Bueso2018-04-111-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object metadata between /proc/sysvipc/msg (0444) and the MSG_STAT shmctl command. The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO. As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed anyways in the procfs files. While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no writing to the msq metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so we are stuck with it. Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs). Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some reported cases for shm. This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead. In addition, I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the procfs file.

The bug fixes you already have and much of the unprivileged fuse work is coming in via other trees. Still left for fully unprivileged fuse is figuring out how to cleanly handle .set_acl and .get_acl in the legacy case, and properly handling of evm xattrs on unprivileged mounts. Included in the tree is a cleanup from Alexely that replaced a linked list with a statically allocated fix sized array for the pid caches, which simplifies and speeds things up. Then there is are some cleanups and fixes for the ipc namespace. The motivation was that in reviewing other code it was discovered that access ipc objects from different pid namespaces recorded pids in such a way that when asked the wrong pids were returned. In the worst case there has been a measured 30% performance impact for sysvipc semaphores. Other test cases showed no measurable performance impact. Manfred Spraul and Davidlohr Bueso who tend to work on sysvipc performance both gave the nod that this is good enough. Casey Schaufler and James Morris have given their approval to the LSM side of the changes. I simplified the types and the code dealing with sysvipc to pass just kern_ipc_perm for all three types of ipc. Which reduced the header dependencies throughout the kernel and simplified the lsm code.

| * ipc/msg: Fix msgctl(..., IPC_STAT, ...) between pid namespacesEric W. Biederman2018-03-271-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today msg_lspid and msg_lrpid are remembered in the pid namespace of the creator and the processes that last send or received a sysvipc message. If you have processes in multiple pid namespaces that is just wrong. The process ids reported will not make the least bit of sense. This fix is slightly more susceptible to a performance problem than the related fix for System V shared memory. By definition the pids are updated by msgsnd and msgrcv, the fast path of System V message queues. The only concern over the previous implementation is the incrementing and decrementing of the pid reference count. As that is the only difference and multiple updates by of the task_tgid by threads in the same process have been shown in af_unix sockets to create a cache line ping-pong between cpus of the same processor. In this case I don't expect cache lines holding pid reference counts to ping pong between cpus. As senders and receivers update different pids there is a natural separation there. Further if multiple threads of the same process either send or receive messages the pid will be updated to the same value and ipc_update_pid will avoid the reference count update. Which means in the common case I expect msg_lspid and msg_lrpid to remain constant, and reference counts not to be updated when messages are sent. In rare cases it may be possible to trigger the issue which was observed for af_unix sockets, but it will require multiple processes with multiple threads to be either sending or receiving messages. It just does not feel likely that anyone would do that in practice. This change updates msgctl(..., IPC_STAT, ...) to return msg_lspid and msg_lrpid in the pid namespace of the process calling stat. This change also updates cat /proc/sysvipc/msg to return print msg_lspid and msg_lrpid in the pid namespace of the process that opened the proc file.

* | License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ipc has two management structures that exist for every id: - struct kern_ipc_perm, it contains e.g. the permissions. - struct ipc_rcu, it contains the rcu head for rcu handling and the refcount. The patch merges both structures. As a bonus, we may save one cacheline, because both structures are cacheline aligned. In addition, it reduces the number of casts, instead most codepaths can use container_of. To simplify code, the ipc_rcu_alloc initializes the allocation to 0.

* ipc/msg: avoid waking sender upon full queueDavidlohr Bueso2016-10-111-10/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Blocked tasks queued in q_senders waiting for their message to fit in the queue are blindly awoken every time we think there's a remote chance this might happen. This could cause numerous (and expensive -- thundering herd-ish) bogus wakeups if the queue is still really full. Adding to the scheduling cost/overhead, there's also the fact that we need to take the ipc object lock and requeue ourselves in the q_senders list. By keeping track of the blocked sender's message size, we can know previously if the wakeup ought to occur or not. Otherwise, to maintain the current wakeup order we just move it to the tail. This is exactly what occurs right now if the sender needs to go back to sleep. The case of EIDRM is left completely untouched, as we need to wakeup all the tasks, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place. This patch was seen to save on the 'msgctl10' ltp testcase ~15% in context switches (avg out of ten runs). Although these tests are really about functionality (as opposed to performance), is does show the direct benefits of the optimization.

* ipc/msg: batch queue sender wakeupsDavidlohr Bueso2016-10-111-10/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the use of wake_qs in sysv msg queues are only for the receiver tasks that are blocked on the queue. But blocked sender tasks (due to queue size constraints) still are awoken with the ipc object lock held, which can be a problem particularly for small sized queues and far from gracious for -rt (just like it was for the receiver side). The paths that actually wakeup a sender are obviously related to when we are either getting rid of the queue or after (some) space is freed-up after a receiver takes the msg (msgrcv). Furthermore, with the exception of msgrcv, we can always piggy-back on expunge_all that has its own tasks lined-up for waking. Finally, upon unlinking the message, it should be no problem delaying the wakeups a bit until after we've released the lock.

* ipc/msg: implement lockless pipelined wakeupsSebastian Andrzej Siewior2016-10-111-93/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under the ipc global lock by making use of a lockless wake_q. With this change, the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL. In the signal case we still need to check the pointer under the lock to verify the state. This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the NULL -> !NULL change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker. By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly simplified (and very well suited as we can batch lockless wakeups), particularly around the lockless receive algorithm.

For most systems, a small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX. Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported. And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed. The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications that expect that the value exists. Notes: 1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set MSGMNI as necessary. Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android). 2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used to control latency vs. throughput: If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

* ipc: Fix 2 bugs in msgrcv() MSG_COPY implementationMichael Kerrisk2014-03-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While testing and documenting the msgrcv() MSG_COPY flag that Stanislav Kinsbursky added in commit 4a674f34ba04 ("ipc: introduce message queue copy feature" => kernel 3.8), I discovered a couple of bugs in the implementation. The two bugs concern MSG_COPY interactions with other msgrcv() flags, namely: (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT The bugs are distinct (and the fix for the first one is obvious), however my fix for both is a single-line patch, which is why I'm combining them in a single mail, rather than writing two mails+patches. ===== (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT ===== With the addition of the MSG_COPY flag, there are now two msgrcv() flags--MSG_COPY and MSG_EXCEPT--that modify the meaning of the 'msgtyp' argument in unrelated ways. Specifying both in the same call is a logical error that is currently permitted, with the effect that MSG_COPY has priority and MSG_EXCEPT is ignored. The call should give an error if both flags are specified. The patch below implements that behavior. ===== (B) (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT ===== The test code that was submitted in commit 3a665531a3b7 ("selftests: IPC message queue copy feature test") shows MSG_COPY being used in conjunction with IPC_NOWAIT. In other words, if there is no message at the position 'msgtyp'. return immediately with the error in ENOMSG. What was not (fully) tested is the behavior if MSG_COPY is specified *without* IPC_NOWAIT, and there is an odd behavior. If the queue contains less than 'msgtyp' messages, then the call blocks until the next message is written to the queue. At that point, the msgrcv() call returns a copy of the newly added message, regardless of whether that message is at the ordinal position 'msgtyp'. This is clearly bogus, and problematic for applications that might want to make use of the MSG_COPY flag. I considered the following possible solutions to this problem: (1) Force the call to block until a message *does* appear at the position 'msgtyp'. (2) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, the kernel should implicitly add IPC_NOWAIT, so that the call fails with ENOMSG for this case. (3) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, but IPC_NOWAIT is not, generate an error (probably, EINVAL is the right one). I do not know if any application would really want to have the functionality of solution (1), especially since an application can determine in advance the number of messages in the queue using msgctl() IPC_STAT. Obviously, this solution would be the most work to implement. Solution (2) would have the effect of silently fixing any applications that tried to employ broken behavior. However, it would mean that if we later decided to implement solution (1), then user-space could not easily detect what the kernel supports (but, since I'm somewhat doubtful that solution (1) is needed, I'm not sure that this is much of a problem). Solution (3) would have the effect of informing broken applications that they are doing something broken. The downside is that this would cause a ABI breakage for any applications that are currently employing the broken behavior. However: a) Those applications are almost certainly not getting the results they expect. b) Possibly, those applications don't even exist, because MSG_COPY is currently hidden behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. The upside of solution (3) is that if we later decided to implement solution (1), user-space could determine what the kernel supports, via the error return. In my view, solution (3) is mildly preferable to solution (2), and solution (1) could still be done later if anyone really cares. The patch below implements solution (3). PS. For anyone out there still listening, it's the usual story: documenting an API (and the thinking about, and the testing of the API, that documentation entails) is the one of the single best ways of finding bugs in the API, as I've learned from a lot of experience. Best to do that documentation before releasing the API.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both expunge_all() and pipeline_send() rely on both a nil msg value and a full barrier to guarantee the correct ordering when waking up a task. While its counterpart at the receiving end is well documented for the lockless recv algorithm, we still need to document these specific smp_mb() calls.
