This patch optimizes zap_threads() for the case when there are no ->mm
users except the current's thread group. In that case we can avoid
'for_each_process()' loop.
It also adds a useful invariant: SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT (if checked under
->siglock) always implies that all threads (except may be current) have
pending SIGKILL.

This patch removes tasklist_lock from zap_threads().
This is safe wrt:
do_exit:
The caller holds mm->mmap_sem. This means that task which
shares the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm(), so it can't be
unhashed from init_task.tasks or ->thread_group lists.
fork:
None of sub-threads can fork after zap_process(leader). All
processes which were created before this point should be
visible to zap_threads() because copy_process() adds the new
process to the tail of init_task.tasks list, and ->siglock
lock/unlock provides a memory barrier.
de_thread:
It does list_replace_rcu(&leader->tasks, ¤t->tasks).
So zap_threads() will see either old or new leader, it does
not matter. However, it can change p->sighand, so we should
use lock_task_sighand() in zap_process().

With this patch zap_process() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT while sending SIGKILL to
the thread group. This means that a TASK_TRACED task
1. Will be awakened by signal_wake_up(1)
2. Can't sleep again via ptrace_notify()
3. Can't go to do_signal_stop() after return
from ptrace_stop() in get_signal_to_deliver()
So we can remove all ptrace related stuff from coredump path.

zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which share
current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same ->mm, so we can
skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm.
This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added
zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but it is
used in further patches.

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.

This is not reliable: sub-threads can exit after this check, so the

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.

I noticed recently that my CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5 turned into a y again instead
of m. It turns out that CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is selecting it to be y even though
I've chosen to compile nfsd as a module.
In general when we have a bool sitting under a tristate it is better to
select things you need from the tristate rather than the bool since that
allows the things you select to be modules.
The following patch does it for nfsd.

This patch adds "-o bh" option to force use of buffer_heads. This option
is needed when we make "nobh" as default - and if we run into problems.

Add a /proc/<pid>/attr/keycreate entry that stores the appropriate context for
newly-created keys. Modify the selinux_key_alloc hook to make use of the new
entry. Update the flask headers to include a new "setkeycreate" permission
for processes. Update the flask headers to include a new "create" permission
for keys. Use the create permission to restrict which SIDs each task can
assign to newly-created keys. Add a new parameter to the security hook
"security_key_alloc" to indicate whether it is being invoked by the kernel, or
from userspace. If it is being invoked by the kernel, the security hook
should never fail. Update the documentation to reflect these changes.
