      vfs,proc: guarantee unique inodes in /proc · 51f0885e
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Dave Jones found another /proc issue with his Trinity tool: thanks to
      the namespace model, we can have multiple /proc dentries that point to
      the same inode, aliasing directories in /proc/<pid>/net/ for example.
      
      This ends up being a total disaster, because it acts like hardlinked
      directories, and causes locking problems.  We rely on the topological
      sort of the inodes pointed to by dentries, and if we have aliased
      directories, that odering becomes unreliable.
      
      In short: don't do this.  Multiple dentries with the same (directory)
      inode is just a bad idea, and the namespace code should never have
      exposed things this way.  But we're kind of stuck with it.
      
      This solves things by just always allocating a new inode during /proc
      dentry lookup, instead of using "iget_locked()" to look up existing
      inodes by superblock and number.  That actually simplies the code a bit,
      at the cost of potentially doing more inode [de]allocations.
      
      That said, the inode lookup wasn't free either (and did a lot of locking
      of inodes), so it is probably not that noticeable.  We could easily keep
      the old lookup model for non-directory entries, but rather than try to
      be excessively clever this just implements the minimal and simplest
      workaround for the problem.

      procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options · 0499680a
      Vasiliy Kulikov 提交于
      Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
      directories.  The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
      untouched.
      
      The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
      info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
      
      hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
      world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
      
      hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
      their own.  Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
      against other users.  As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
      and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
      files' modes are not confused.
      
      hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
      users.  It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
      learned by other means, e.g.  by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
      and egid.  It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
      processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
      another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
      program at all, etc.
      
      gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
      (as in hidepid=0 mode).  This group should be used instead of putting
      nonroot user in sudoers file or something.  However, untrusted users (like
      daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
      system should not be added to the group.
      
      hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
      might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
      timings:
      
      http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3
      
      hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools.  ps, top, pgrep, and
      conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
      the only user running processes.  pstree shows the process subtree which
      contains "pstree" process.
      
      Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
      preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368).  We rely on that the leaked
      information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
      anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
      counters.

      ns: proc files for namespace naming policy. · 6b4e306a
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Create files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ to allow controlling the
      namespaces of a process.
      
      This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to
      work with.
      - Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory.
      - It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child
        of the original creator.
      - Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about
        them.
      
      The namespace files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ can be opened and the
      file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and
      to keep the specified namespace alive.
      
      A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor
      open or bind mounting the file someplace else.  aka:
      mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path
      mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<N> /some/filesystem/path
      
      This allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy.
      
      It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors
      and that will be comming in the following patches.

      unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare() · dfef6dcd
      Al Viro 提交于
      a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
      however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
      Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
      provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
      the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
      and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().
      
      b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
      dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
      dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
      negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
      that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
      Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      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.

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.
