      perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL · c229bf9d
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      Add a new branch sample type to cover only call branches (function calls).
      The current ANY_CALL included direct, indirect calls and far jumps.
      
      We want to be able to differentiate indirect from direct calls. Therefore
      we introduce PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. The implementation is up to each
      architecture.

      perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page · b9511cd7
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      Commit:
      
        b20112ed ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock")
      
      allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much
      as 32.  Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift
      have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value
      32, the type must be u64.
      
      In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps
      that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of
      granularity so they look like they are not changing at all.
      
      Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly.
      
      Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code
      based on it will be more future-proof.

      lwtunnel: remove source and destination UDP port config option · b194f30c
      Jiri Benc 提交于
      The UDP tunnel config is asymmetric wrt. to the ports used. The source and
      destination ports from one direction of the tunnel are not related to the
      ports of the other direction. We need to be able to respond to ARP requests
      using the correct ports without involving routing.
      
      As the consequence, UDP ports need to be fixed property of the tunnel
      interface and cannot be set per route. Remove the ability to set ports per
      route. This is still okay to do, as no kernel has been released with these
      attributes yet.
      
      Note that the ability to specify source and destination ports is preserved
      for other users of the lwtunnel API which don't use routes for tunnel key
      specification (like openvswitch).
      
      If in the future we rework ARP handling to allow port specification, the
      attributes can be added back.

      sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86) · 5b25b13a
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
      executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.  It is
      implemented by calling synchronize_sched().  It can be used to
      distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
      transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
      sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier.  For synchronization primitives
      that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g.  userspace RCU
      [1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
      the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
      
      The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
      this system call are as follows:
      
      * Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
        - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
        - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
        - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
        - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
        - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
        - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
        - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)
      
      Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
      scalability compared to locking.  Especially in the case of RCU used by
      libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
      the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().
      
      * Direct users of sys_membarrier
        - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)
      
      Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
      side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
      Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux.  They are referring to
      sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
      sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.
      
      To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:
      
      Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
      Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
      rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())
      
      In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
      with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
      smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
      smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".
      
      Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:
      
      Thread A                    Thread B
      previous mem accesses       previous mem accesses
      smp_mb()                    smp_mb()
      following mem accesses      following mem accesses
      
      After the change, these pairs become:
      
      Thread A                    Thread B
      prev mem accesses           prev mem accesses
      sys_membarrier()            barrier()
      follow mem accesses         follow mem accesses
      
      As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
      accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
      do (2).
      
      1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:
      
      Thread A                    Thread B
      prev mem accesses
      sys_membarrier()
      follow mem accesses
                                  prev mem accesses
                                  barrier()
                                  follow mem accesses
      
      In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
      because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
      ordering them with respect to its own accesses.
      
      2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses
      
      Thread A                    Thread B
      prev mem accesses           prev mem accesses
      sys_membarrier()            barrier()
      follow mem accesses         follow mem accesses
      
      In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
      order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
      smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().
      
      * Benchmarks
      
      On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
      (one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
      looping)
      
      1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.
      
      * User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library
      
      Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
      permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
      rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
      accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
      barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
      write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
      active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
      synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
      threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
      ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
      threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
      implied by the scheduler context switches.
      
      Results in liburcu:
      
      Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:
      
      memory barriers in reader:    1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
      signal-based scheme:          9830061167 reads,    6700 writes
      sys_membarrier:               9952759104 reads,     425 writes
      sys_membarrier (dyn. check):  7970328887 reads,     425 writes
      
      The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
      the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
      sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
      this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
      period than signal and memory barrier schemes.
      
      Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
      membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
      need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
      and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
      cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.
      
      An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
      up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
      the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.
      
      This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

      MEMBARRIER(2)              Linux Programmer's Manual             MEMBARRIER(2)
      
      NAME
             membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
      
      SYNOPSIS
             #include <linux/membarrier.h>
      
             int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);
      
      DESCRIPTION
             The cmd argument is one of the following:
      
             MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
                    Query  the  set  of  supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
                    supported commands.
      
             MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
                    Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on  the  system.
                    Upon  return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
                    all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
                    accesses  to  user-space  addresses  match program order between
                    entry to and return from the system  call  (non-running  threads
                    are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
                    cesses running on the system.  This command returns 0.
      
             The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.
      
             All memory accesses performed  in  program  order  from  each  targeted
             thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
             we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
             memory  accesses  to  be performed in program order across the barrier,
             and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full  memory
             ordering  across  the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
             each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
      
             The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
      
                                    barrier()   smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
                    barrier()          X           X            O
                    smp_mb()           X           O            O
                    sys_membarrier()   O           O            O
      
      RETURN VALUE
             On success, these system calls return zero.  On error, -1 is  returned,
             and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
             argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
             same value until reboot.
      
      ERRORS
             ENOSYS System call is not implemented.
      
             EINVAL Invalid arguments.

      userfaultfd: change the read API to return a uffd_msg · a9b85f94
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      I had requests to return the full address (not the page aligned one) to
      userland.
      
      It's not entirely clear how the page offset could be relevant because
      userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
      actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset.  There's
      currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
      UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
      kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
      code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
      the fault to be repeated).  Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
      more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
      get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
      kernel code.  The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
      to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
      release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
      that).
      
      Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
      can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
      extensions too and it looks cleaner as well.  Once we get additional
      fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
      to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.
      
      The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
      8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.
      
      The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
      for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
      uffdio_api structure.  If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
      required.

      added to the features field indicating e.g.  UFFD_FEATURE_FORK and others
      needed for the latter use-case.

      capabilities: add a securebit to disable PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE · 746bf6d6
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      Per Andrew Morgan's request, add a securebit to allow admins to disable
      PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE.  This securebit will prevent processes from adding
      capabilities to their ambient set.
      
      For simplicity, this disables PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE entirely rather than
      just disabling setting previously cleared bits.

      capabilities: ambient capabilities · 58319057
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with
      a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn.  This patch is heavily based
      on Christoph's patch.
      
      ===== The status quo =====
      
      On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel.  To
      perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that
      they hold.
      
      Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP),
      inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X).  When the kernel checks for a
      capability, it checks pE.  The other capability masks serve to modify
      what capabilities can be in pE.
      
      Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time.  If a
      task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI.
      If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it
      can remove capabilities from X.
      
      Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also
      have capabilities.  A file can have no capabilty information at all [1].
      If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP)
      and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2].
      File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them.
      
      A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for
      the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e.  the binary itself if that
      binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In
      the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old
      value and pZ' represents the new value.  The rules are:
      
        pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI)
        pI' = pI
        pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0)
        X is unchanged
      
      For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately
      complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior.  Similarly, if
      euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently
      (primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set).  For nonroot
      users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP
      are empty and fE is false.
      
      As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is
      set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set,
      LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc.
      
      This is rather messy.  We've learned that making any changes is
      dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged
      program to change its security state in a way that persists cross
      execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this
      persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped
      programs to be exploited for privilege escalation.
      
      ===== The problem =====
      
      Capability inheritance is basically useless.
      
      If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so
      your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'.  This means that you
      can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated
      capabilities if you aren't root.
      
      On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to
      the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files.  This causes
      pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works.  No one does this because
      it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems.
      
      If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with
      secure exec rules, breaking many things.
      
      This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use
      capabilities for anything useful.
      
      ===== The proposed change =====
      
      This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA).
      pA does what most people expect pI to do.
      
      pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not
      set in both pP and pI.  Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from
      pA.  This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities
      still do so, with a complication.  Because capability inheritance is so
      broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and
      then calling execve effectively drops capabilities.  Therefore,
      setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless
      SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set.  Processes that don't like this can
      re-add bits to pA afterwards.
      
      The capability evolution rules are changed:
      
        pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA)
        pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA'
        pI' = pI
        pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA')
        X is unchanged
      
      If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA.  If
      you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE.  For
      example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can
      automatically bind low-numbered ports.  Hallelujah!
      
      Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a
      nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace)
      and unprivileged process trees.  This is currently more or less
      impossible.  Hallelujah!
      
      You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped
      program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the
      resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch.
      
      Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that
      capability.  If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping
      privileges will still work.
      
      It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could
      possibly be reduced without causing serious problems.  Specifically, if
      we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries
      and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could
      leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker
      *already* has those capabilities.  This would make me nervous, though --
      setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so,
      and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have
      unexpected side effects.  (Whether these unexpected side effects would
      be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more
      paranoid route.  We can revisit this later.
      
      An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting
      ambient capabilities.  I think that this would be annoying and would
      make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities
      (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than
      it is with this patch.
      
      ===== Footnotes =====
      
      [1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have
      unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false.
      The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason.
      
      [2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously
      misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong.  fE is *not* a mask;
      it's a single bit.  This has probably confused every single person who
      has tried to use file capabilities.
      
      [3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter
      if applicable, for reasons that elude me.  The results from thinking
      about a script's file capabilities and/or setuid bits are mostly
      discarded.
      
      Preliminary userspace code is here, but it needs updating:
      https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/util-linux-playground.git/commit/?h=cap_ambient&id=7f5afbd175d2
      
      Here is a test program that can be used to verify the functionality
      (from Christoph):
      
      /*
       * Test program for the ambient capabilities. This program spawns a shell
       * that allows running processes with a defined set of capabilities.

       *
       * Compile using:
       *
       *	gcc -o ambient_test ambient_test.o -lcap-ng
       *
       * This program must have the following capabilities to run properly:
       * Permissions for CAP_NET_RAW, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_NICE
       *
       * A command to equip the binary with the right caps is:
       *
       *	setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin,cap_sys_nice+p ambient_test
       *
       *
       * To get a shell with additional caps that can be inherited by other processes:
       *
       *	./ambient_test /bin/bash
       *
       *
       * Verifying that it works:
       *
       * From the bash spawed by ambient_test run
       *
       *	cat /proc/$$/status
       *
       * and have a look at the capabilities.
