The 'limit' filter is underdesigned, it should have been a range for [min,max], with some relaxed semantics when one of the bounds is missing. Besides that, using a full u64 for a single value is a waste of bytes. Let's fix both by extending the use of the u64 bytes for the [min,max] range. This can be done in a backward compatible way, the range will be interpreted only if the appropriate flag is set (BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_LIMIT_RANGE).

As include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h is a user visible header file, it should not include kernel-exclusive header files. So trying to build the userfaultfd test program from the selftests directory fails, since it contains a reference to linux/compiler.h. As it turns out, that header is not really needed there, so we can simply remove it to fix that issue.

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.

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. [1] http://urcu.so membarrier(2) man page: 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.

As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while estimating the size of unused memory. Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an up-to-date value. To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

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.

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.

Add support for using conntrack helpers to assist protocol detection. The new OVS_CT_ATTR_HELPER attribute of the CT action specifies a helper to be used for this connection. If no helper is specified, then helpers will be automatically applied as per the sysctl configuration of net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_helper. The helper may be specified as part of the conntrack action, eg: ct(helper=ftp). Initial packets for related connections should be committed to allow later packets for the flow to be considered established. Example ovs-ofctl flows allowing FTP connections from ports 1->2: in_port=1,tcp,action=ct(helper=ftp,commit),2 in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(recirc) in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=+trk-new+est,action=1 in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=+trk+rel,action=1 Signed-off-by: NJoe Stringer <joestringer@nicira.com> Acked-by: NThomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: NPravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

This work adds the possibility of deriving the zone id from the skb->mark field in a scalable manner. This allows for having only a single template serving hundreds/thousands of different zones, for example, instead of the need to have one match for each zone as an extra CT jump target. Note that we'd need to have this information attached to the template as at the time when we're trying to lookup a possible ct object, we already need to know zone information for a possible match when going into __nf_conntrack_find_get(). This work provides a minimal implementation for a possible mapping. In order to not add/expose an extra ct->status bit, the zone structure has been extended to carry a flag for deriving the mark.

This work adds a direction parameter to netfilter zones, so identity separation can be performed only in original/reply or both directions (default). This basically opens up the possibility of doing NAT with conflicting IP address/port tuples from multiple, isolated tenants on a host (e.g. from a netns) without requiring each tenant to NAT twice resp. to use its own dedicated IP address to SNAT to, meaning overlapping tuples can be made unique with the zone identifier in original direction, where the NAT engine will then allocate a unique tuple in the commonly shared default zone for the reply direction. In some restricted, local DNAT cases, also port redirection could be used for making the reply traffic unique w/o requiring SNAT. The consensus we've reached and discussed at NFWS and since the initial implementation [1] was to directly integrate the direction meta data into the existing zones infrastructure, as opposed to the ct->mark approach we proposed initially. As we pass the nf_conntrack_zone object directly around, we don't have to touch all call-sites, but only those, that contain equality checks of zones. Thus, based on the current direction (original or reply), we either return the actual id, or the default NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID. CT expectations are direction-agnostic entities when expectations are being compared among themselves, so we can only use the identifier in this case. Note that zone identifiers can not be included into the hash mix anymore as they don't contain a "stable" value that would be equal for both directions at all times, f.e. if only zone->id would unconditionally be xor'ed into the table slot hash, then replies won't find the corresponding conntracking entry anymore. If no particular direction is specified when configuring zones, the behaviour is exactly as we expect currently (both directions). Support has been added for the CT netlink interface as well as the x_tables raw CT target, which both already offer existing interfaces to user space for the configuration of zones. Below a minimal, simplified collision example (script in [2]) with netperf sessions: +--- tenant-1 ---+ mark := 1 | netperf |--+ +----------------+ | CT zone := mark [ORIGINAL] [ip,sport] := X +--------------+ +--- gateway ---+ | mark routing |--| SNAT |-- ... + +--------------+ +---------------+ | +--- tenant-2 ---+ | ~~~|~~~ | netperf |--+ +-----------+ | +----------------+ mark := 2 | netserver |------ ... + [ip,sport] := X +-----------+ [ip,port] := Y On the gateway netns, example: iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -j CT --zone mark --zone-dir ORIGINAL iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o <dev> -j SNAT --to-source <ip> --random-fully iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m conntrack --ctdir ORIGINAL -j CONNMARK --save-mark iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j CONNMARK --restore-mark conntrack dump from gateway netns: netperf -H 10.1.1.2 -t TCP_STREAM -l60 -p12865,5555 from each tenant netns tcp 6 431995 ESTABLISHED src=40.1.1.1 dst=10.1.1.2 sport=5555 dport=12865 zone-orig=1 src=10.1.1.2 dst=10.1.1.1 sport=12865 dport=1024 [ASSURED] mark=1 secctx=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 use=1 tcp 6 431994 ESTABLISHED src=40.1.1.1 dst=10.1.1.2 sport=5555 dport=12865 zone-orig=2 src=10.1.1.2 dst=10.1.1.1 sport=12865 dport=5555 [ASSURED] mark=2 secctx=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 use=1 tcp 6 299 ESTABLISHED src=40.1.1.1 dst=10.1.1.2 sport=39438 dport=33768 zone-orig=1 src=10.1.1.2 dst=10.1.1.1 sport=33768 dport=39438 [ASSURED] mark=1 secctx=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 use=1 tcp 6 300 ESTABLISHED src=40.1.1.1 dst=10.1.1.2 sport=32889 dport=40206 zone-orig=2 src=10.1.1.2 dst=10.1.1.1 sport=40206 dport=32889 [ASSURED] mark=2 secctx=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 use=2 Taking this further, test script in [2] creates 200 tenants and runs original-tuple colliding netperf sessions each. A conntrack -L dump in the gateway netns also confirms 200 overlapping entries, all in ESTABLISHED state as expected. I also did run various other tests with some permutations of the script, to mention some: SNAT in random/random-fully/persistent mode, no zones (no overlaps), static zones (original, reply, both directions), etc. [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.devel/57412/ [2] https://paste.fedoraproject.org/242835/65657871/Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: NPablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
