2009-05-29procfs: make errno values consistent when open pident vs exit(2) race occursKOSAKI Motohiro
proc_pident_instantiate() has following call flow. proc_pident_lookup() proc_pident_instantiate() proc_pid_make_inode() And, proc_pident_lookup() has following error handling. const struct pid_entry *p, *last; error = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); if (!task) goto out_no_task; Then, proc_pident_instantiate should return ENOENT too when racing against exit(2) occur. EINAL has two bad reason. - it implies caller is wrong. bad the race isn't caller's mistake. - man 2 open don't explain EINVAL. user often don't handle it.

2009-05-11CRED: Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptraceDavid Howells
Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-05-04proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processesJake Edge
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps, only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR). These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well. The start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general, possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS). The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't make underflow issue.

The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a sleeping cpu without waking the cpu.

In recently sysfs_poll discussion, Neil Brown pointed out /proc/mounts also should be fixed. SUSv3 says "Regular files shall always poll TRUE for reading and writing". see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html Then, mounts_poll()'s default should be "POLLIN | POLLRDNORM". it mean always readable. In addition, event trigger should use "POLLERR | POLLPRI" instead POLLERR. it makes consistent to mdstat_poll() and sysfs_poll(). and, select(2) can handle POLLPRI easily.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks. However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch ->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 So, ->owner is on death row. Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount when necessary. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

2009-03-28fix setuid sometimes wouldn'tHugh Dickins
check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid, in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one). We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs, replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.

simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails.

2009-03-17Avoid 64-bit "switch()" statements on 32-bit architecturesLinus Torvalds
Commit ee6f779b9e0851e2f7da292a9f58e0095edf615a ("filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even though the offset is never that big. That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch() statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of crazy code. Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

2009-03-16filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdirZhang Le
filp->f_pos only get updated at the end of the function. Thus d_off of those dirents who are in the middle will be 0, and this will cause a problem in glibc's readdir implementation, specifically endless loop. Because when overflow occurs, f_pos will be set to next dirent to read, however it will be 0, unless the next one is the last one. So it will start over again and again. There is a sample program in man 2 gendents. This is the output of the program running on a multithread program's task dir before this patch is applied: $ ./a.out /proc/3807/task --------------- nread=128 --------------- i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name 506442 directory 16 1 . 506441 directory 16 0 .. 506443 directory 16 0 3807 506444 directory 16 0 3809 506445 directory 16 0 3812 506446 directory 16 0 3861 506447 directory 16 0 3862 506448 directory 16 8 3863 This is the output after this patch is applied $ ./a.out /proc/3807/task --------------- nread=128 --------------- i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name 506442 directory 16 1 . 506441 directory 16 2 .. 506443 directory 16 3 3807 506444 directory 16 4 3809 506445 directory 16 5 3812 506446 directory 16 6 3861 506447 directory 16 7 3862 506448 directory 16 8 3863 Signed-off-by: Zhang Le <r0bertz@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-01-08vmcore: remove saved_max_pfn checkMagnus Damm
Remove the saved_max_pfn check from the /proc/vmcore function read_from_oldmem(). No need to verify, we should be able to just trust that "elfcorehdr=" is correctly passed to the crash kernel on the kernel command line like we do with other parameters. The read_from_oldmem() function in fs/proc/vmcore.c is quite similar to read_from_oldmem() in drivers/char/mem.c, but only in the latter it makes sense to use saved_max_pfn. For oldmem it is used to determine when to stop reading. For vmcore we already have the elf header info pointing out the physical memory regions, no need to pass the end-of- old-memory twice. Removing the saved_max_pfn check from vmcore makes it possible for architectures to skip oldmem but still support crash dump through vmcore - without the need for the old saved_max_pfn cruft. Architectures that want to play safe can do the saved_max_pfn check in copy_oldmem_page(). Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but that's even safer than today - the saved_max_pfn check in vmcore removed by this patch only checks the first page.

2009-01-08NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linuxDavid Howells
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

2009-01-06mm: report the MMU pagesize in /proc/pid/smapsMel Gorman
The KernelPageSize entry in /proc/pid/smaps is the pagesize used by the kernel to back a VMA. This matches the size used by the MMU in the majority of cases. However, one counter-example occurs on PPC64 kernels whereby a kernel using 64K as a base pagesize may still use 4K pages for the MMU on older processor. To distinguish, this patch reports MMUPageSize as the pagesize used by the MMU in /proc/pid/smaps.

2009-01-06mm: report the pagesize backing a VMA in /proc/pid/smapsMel Gorman
It is useful to verify a hugepage-aware application is using the expected pagesizes for its memory regions. This patch creates an entry called KernelPageSize in /proc/pid/smaps that is the size of page used by the kernel to back a VMA. The entry is not called PageSize as it is possible the MMU uses a different size. This extension should not break any sensible parser that skips lines containing unrecognised information.
