      [PATCH] binfmt_elf: fix checks for bad address · ce51059b
      由 Chuck Ebbert 提交于 
      Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks.

Taken from RHEL4 kernel update.

From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>

  For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is
  TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for
  user-space mappings.  The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong
  for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c.  There were two in-line validations
  of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately
  converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted
  yesterday.  Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded.

  The additional changes that I propose are below.  These are in the error
  paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already
  committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the
  task's original address space).

  The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if".  There were two
  problems here.  The printk() should be removed because this path can be
  triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a
  malicious user.  Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that
  causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec
  handlers (twice, in fact).  But it's too late for this to work correctly,
  because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec()
  failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer
  exists.  The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate
  the search loop immediately.  I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a
  fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will
  override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space).

  The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if".  There were
  two problems here as well.  The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior
  sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN.
  And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

      [PATCH] remove steal_locks() · c89681ed
      由 Miklos Szeredi 提交于 
      This patch removes the steal_locks() function.

steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own
lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc.

In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks
sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in
parallel to execve().

The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing:

clone(CLONE_FILES)
  /* in child */
  lock
  execve
  lock

POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further
task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by
"child".

According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the
stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would
also fail.

Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before
execve.

Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they

  - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other
    threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np())
  - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec

Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction.

Apps using clone() natively are affected if they

  - use clone(CLONE_FILES)
  - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec

The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible.

If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the
weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so
that network and local filesystems work consistently.

That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be
preferred by most people.

      [PATCH] Don't uselessly export task_struct to userspace in core dumps · a9289728
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps.  However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.

I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else.  So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.

In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak.  I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.

So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.

(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was
using NT_TASKSTRUCT).

      [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentation · 1363c3cd
      由 Wolfgang Wander 提交于 
      Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.

The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.

The problem is twofold:

  1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
     the last search ended.  Before the change new areas were always
     searched from the base address on.

     So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
     throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
     tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
     large and available for larger requests.

  2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
     munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g.  five regions of
     1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
     will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
     appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
     of the old region 2.  Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
     get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.

The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache.  If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.

The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.

Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.

Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSO · 547ee84c
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments.  Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).

While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0.  This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict.  By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
