This just turns off chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files, since there is no
good reason to allow it, and had we disallowed it originally, the nasty
/proc race exploit wouldn't have been possible.
The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this
is really just some final mop-up..
This particular version is based off a patch by Eugene and Marcel which
had much better naming than my original equivalent one.

We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status. This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.

Below is a patch to add a new /proc/self/attr/sockcreate A process may write a
context into this interface and all subsequent sockets created will be labeled
with that context. This is the same idea as the fscreate interface where a
process can specify the label of a file about to be created. At this time one
envisioned user of this will be xinetd. It will be able to better label
sockets for the actual services. At this time all sockets take the label of
the creating process, so all xinitd sockets would just be labeled the same.
I tested this by creating a tcp sender and listener. The sender was able to
write to this new proc file and then create sockets with the specified label.
I am able to be sure the new label was used since the avc denial messages
kicked out by the kernel included both the new security permission
setsockcreate and all the socket denials were for the new label, not the label
of the running process.

first_tid:
/* If nr exceeds the number of threads there is nothing todo */
if (nr) {
if (nr >= get_nr_threads(leader))
goto done;
}
This is not reliable: sub-threads can exit after this check, so the
'for' loop below can overlap and proc_task_readdir() can return an
already filldir'ed dirents.
for (; pos && pid_alive(pos); pos = next_thread(pos)) {
if (--nr > 0)
continue;
Off-by-one error, will return 'leader' when nr == 1.

This is just like my previous removal of tasklist_lock from first_tgid, and
next_tgid. It simply had to wait until it was rcu safe to walk the thread
list.
This should be the last instance of the tasklist_lock in proc. So user
processes should not be able to influence the tasklist lock hold times.

In process of getting proc_fd_access_allowed to work it has developed a few
warts. In particular the special case that always allows introspection and
the special case to allow inspection of kernel threads.
The special case for introspection is needed for /proc/self/mem.
The special case for kernel threads really should be overridable
by security modules.
So consolidate these checks into ptrace.c:may_attach().
The check to always allow introspection is trivial.
The check to allow access to kernel threads, and zombies is a little
trickier. mem_read and mem_write already verify an mm exists so it isn't
needed twice. proc_fd_access_allowed only doesn't want a check to verify
task->mm exits, s it prevents all access to kernel threads. So just move
the task->mm check into ptrace_attach where it is needed for practical
reasons.
I did a quick audit and none of the security modules in the kernel seem to
care if they are passed a task without an mm into security_ptrace. So the
above move should be safe and it allows security modules to come up with
more restrictive policy.

Since 2.2 we have been doing a chroot check to see if it is appropriate to
return a read or follow one of these magic symlinks. The chroot check was
asking a question about the visibility of files to the calling process and
it was actually checking the destination process, and not the files
themselves. That test was clearly bogus.
In my first pass through I simply fixed the test to check the visibility of
the files themselves. That naive approach to fixing the permissions was
too strict and resulted in cases where a task could not even see all of
it's file descriptors.
What has disturbed me about relaxing this check is that file descriptors
are per-process private things, and they are occasionaly used a user space
capability tokens. Looking a little farther into the symlink path on /proc
I did find userid checks and a check for capability (CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE) so
there were permissions checking this.
But I was still concerned about privacy. Besides /proc there is only one
other way to find out this kind of information, and that is ptrace. ptrace
has been around for a long time and it has a well established security
model.
So after thinking about it I finally realized that the permission checks
that make sense are the permission checks applied to ptrace_attach. The
checks are simple per process, and won't cause nasty surprises for people
coming from less capable unices.
Unfortunately there is one case that the current ptrace_attach test does
not cover: Zombies and kernel threads. Single stepping those kinds of
processes is impossible. Being able to see which file descriptors are open
on these tasks is important to lsof, fuser and friends. So for these
special processes I made the rule you can't find out unless you have
CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
These proc permission checks should now conform to the principle of least
surprise. As well as using much less code to implement :)

The code doesn't need to sleep to when making this check so I can just do the
comparison and not worry about the reference counts.
TODO: While looking at this I realized that my original cleanup did not push
the permission check far enough down into the stack. The call of
proc_check_dentry_visible needs to move out of the generic proc
readlink/follow link code and into the individual get_link instances.
Otherwise the shared resources checks are not quite correct (shared
files_struct does not require a shared fs_struct), and there are races with
unshare.

Every inode in /proc holds a reference to a struct task_struct. If a
directory or file is opened and remains open after the the task exits this
pinning continues. With 8K stacks on a 32bit machine the amount pinned per
file descriptor is about 10K.
Normally I would figure a reasonable per user process limit is about 100
processes. With 80 processes, with a 1000 file descriptors each I can trigger
the 00M killer on a 32bit kernel, because I have pinned about 800MB of useless
data.
This patch replaces the struct task_struct pointer with a pointer to a struct
task_ref which has a struct task_struct pointer. The so the pinning of dead
tasks does not happen.
The code now has to contend with the fact that the task may now exit at any
time. Which is a little but not muh more complicated.
With this change it takes about 1000 processes each opening up 1000 file
descriptors before I can trigger the OOM killer. Much better.

There are a couple of problems this patch addresses.
- /proc/<tgid>/task currently does not work correctly if you stop reading
in the middle of a directory.
- /proc/ currently requires a full pass through the task list with
the tasklist lock held, to determine there are no more processes to read.
- The hand rolled integer to string conversion does not properly running
out of buffer space.
- We seem to be batching reading of pids from the tasklist without reason,
and complicating the logic of the code.
This patch addresses that by changing how tasks are processed. A
first_<task_type> function is built that handles restarts, and a
next_<task_type> function is built that just advances to the next task.
first_<task_type> when it detects a restart usually uses find_task_by_pid. If
that doesn't work because there has been a seek on the directory, or we have
already given a complete directory listing, it first checks the number tasks
of that type, and only if we are under that count does it walk through all of
the tasks to find the one we are interested in.
The code that fills in the directory is simpler because there is only a single
for loop.
The hand rolled integer to string conversion is replaced by snprintf which
should handle the the out of buffer case correctly.

proc_lookup and task exiting are not synchronized, although some of the
previous code may have suggested that. Every time before we reuse a dentry
namei.c calls d_op->derevalidate which prevents us from reusing a stale dcache
entry. Unfortunately it does not prevent us from returning a stale dcache
entry. This race has been explicitly plugged in proc_pid_lookup but there is
nothing to confine it to just that proc lookup function.
So to prevent the race I call revalidate explictily in all of the proc lookup
functions after I call d_add, and report an error if the revalidate does not
succeed.
Years ago Al Viro did something similar but those changes got lost in the
churn.

To keep the dcache from filling up with dead /proc entries we flush them on
process exit. However over the years that code has gotten hairy with a
dentry_pointer and a lock in task_struct and misdocumented as a correctness
feature.
I have rewritten this code to look and see if we have a corresponding entry in
the dcache and if so flush it on process exit. This removes the extra fields
in the task_struct and allows me to trivially handle the case of a
/proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> entry as well as the current /proc/<pid> entries.

Long ago and far away in 2.2 we started checking to ensure the files we
displayed in /proc were visible to the current process. It was an
unsophisticated time and no one was worried about functions full of FIXMES in
a stable kernel. As time passed the function became sacred and was enshrined
in the shrine of how things have always been. The fixes came in but only to
keep the function working no one really remembering or documenting why we did
things that way.
The intent and the functionality make a lot of sense. Don't let /proc be an
access point for files a process can see no other way. The implementation
however is completely wrong.
We are currently checking the root directories of the two processes, we are
not checking the actual file descriptors themselves.
We are strangely checking with a permission method instead of just when we use
the data.
This patch fixes the logic to actually check the file descriptors and make a
note that implementing a permission method for this part of /proc almost
certainly indicates a bug in the reasoning.

Currently in /proc if the task is dumpable all of files are owned by the tasks
effective users. Otherwise the files are owned by root. Unless it is the
/proc/<tgid>/ or /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> directory in that case we always make
the directory owned by the effective user.
However the special case for directories is pointless except as a way to read
the effective user, because the permissions on both of those directories are
world readable, and executable.
/proc/<tgid>/status provides a much better way to read a processes effecitve
userid, so it is silly to try to provide that on the directory.
So this patch simplifies the code by removing a pointless special case and
gets us one step closer to being able to remove the hard coded /proc inode
numbers.

patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate

(Includes a cleanup from "Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>)
From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net>
show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.
The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer. Now the final
if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */
m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2
I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration. There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process. I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process. numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps. F.e. with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

getty uses ld.so. The first vma is the code segment which is used by 43
other processes and the pages are evenly distributed over the 4 nodes.
The second vma is the process specific data portion for ld.so. This is
only one page.
The display format is:
<startaddress> Links to information in /proc/<pid>/map
<memory policy> This can be "default" "interleave={}", "prefer=<node>" or "bind={<zones>}"
MaxRef= <maximum reference to a page in this vma>
Pages= <Nr of pages in use>
Mapped= <Nr of pages with mapcount >
Anon= <nr of anonymous pages>
Nx= <Nr of pages on Node x>
The content of the proc-file is self-evident. If this would be tied into
the sparsemem system then the contents of this file would not be too
useful.

This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change:
* afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs,
smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link()
* befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link()

Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl:
This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed
privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended
for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when
adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.
(akpm:

> EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?
No problem to me.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines
should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go
everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used
as a bool in untouched code)

Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat
rather than for merging. Changing that field would create a gigantic
diff because it is used all over the place.
