    rseq: Unregister rseq for clone CLONE_VM · 463f550f
    Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
    It has been reported by Google that rseq is not behaving properly
    with respect to clone when CLONE_VM is used without CLONE_THREAD.
    
    It keeps the prior thread's rseq TLS registered when the TLS of the
    thread has moved, so the kernel can corrupt the TLS of the parent.
    
    The approach of clearing the per task-struct rseq registration
    on clone with CLONE_THREAD flag is incomplete. It does not cover
    the use-case of clone with CLONE_VM set, but without CLONE_THREAD.
    
    Here is the rationale for unregistering rseq on clone with CLONE_VM
    flag set:
    
    1) CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND, which requires CLONE_VM to be
       set. Therefore, just checking for CLONE_VM covers all CLONE_THREAD
       uses. There is no point in checking for both CLONE_THREAD and
       CLONE_VM,
    
    2) There is the possibility of an unlikely scenario where CLONE_SETTLS
       is used without CLONE_VM. In order to be an issue, it would require
       that the rseq TLS is in a shared memory area.
    
       I do not plan on adding CLONE_SETTLS to the set of clone flags which
       unregister RSEQ, because it would require that we also unregister RSEQ
       on set_thread_area(2) and arch_prctl(2) ARCH_SET_FS for completeness.
       So rather than doing a partial solution, it appears better to let
       user-space explicitly perform rseq unregistration across clone if
       needed in scenarios where CLONE_VM is not set.
