      ipc: fix race with LSMs · 53dad6d3
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
      RCU.  However, since security modules can free the security structure,
      for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
      race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
      creating a use-after-free condition.  Manfred illustrates this nicely,
      for instance with shared mem and selinux:
      
       -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
       -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
           Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
           Then it returns.
       -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
       -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
       -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security
      
      shm_close()
       -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
       -> shm_close calls shm_destroy
       -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
       -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
       -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)
      
      This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
      readers are done.  Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
      that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
      For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
      kept.  Linus states:
      
       "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
        security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
        various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
        _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."
      
      I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
      quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server.  In both cases selinux is
      enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
      While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
      them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything
      we weren't aware of.

      ipc/msg.c: Fix lost wakeup in msgsnd(). · bebcb928
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of
      pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic.
      
      Otherwise:
       - the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to
         sleep.
       - the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the
         queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty.
       - the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd()
         task has not yet called ss_add().
       - then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps.
      
      Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever.
      
      Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel.
      
      Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check.
      
      The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object:
       - msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any
         pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new
         permissions.  If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks,
         then there might be races.
       - it makes the patch much simpler.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
