      Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks · ba25f9dc
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
      using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
      the kernel.
      
      The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
      this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
      more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

      Isolate the explicit usage of signal->pgrp · 9a2e7057
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as
      deprecated with appropriate comment.
      
      The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because
      a) they are set to 0 automatically;
      b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one
         is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
         to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
         right before the .pgrp.
      
      This is the same patch as the 1ec320af one
      (from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.
      
      Some progress report:
      
      We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
      task_struct and struct signal_struct.  The session and pgrp are already
      deprecated.  The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
      in in fs/locks.c and audit code.  The pid field deprecation is mainly
      blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
      log.

      pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user · b488893a
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
      the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
      
      The idea is:
       - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
         or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
       - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
         should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
       - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
         should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
         task's namespace the global one is to be used;
       - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
         the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

      pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple proc trees · 60347f67
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on
      arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to
      it.
      
      The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in
      release_task() higher to address the following problem.
      
      When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not
      just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush.  Thus we need to pass the
      task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can
      provide all the pid numbers.  But after __exit_signal() task has detached all
      his pids and this information is lost.
      
      This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to
      tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal())
      till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100%
      guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

      pid namespaces: move exit_task_namespaces() · 2e4a7072
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      Make task release its namespaces after it has reparented all his children to
      child_reaper, but before it notifies its parent about its death.
      
      The reason to release namespaces after reparenting is that when task exits it
      may send a signal to its parent (SIGCHLD), but if the parent has already
      exited its namespaces there will be no way to decide what pid to dever to him
      - parent can be from different namespace.
      
      The reason to release namespace before notifying the parent it that when task
      sends a SIGCHLD to parent it can call wait() on this taks and release it.  But
      releasing the mnt namespace implies dropping of all the mounts in the mnt
      namespace and NFS expects the task to have valid sighand pointer.

      pid namespaces: rework forget_original_parent() · 762a24be
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system.  They
      work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces.  A file (or a process) can be
      accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name in each.  In
      a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace, but
      /chroot/etc/passwd in another.
      
      For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1 in
      another.  This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary pids, and
      not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces.  This is
      essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid might collide
      with an existing process on the system's pid.
      
      In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child
      relationship, just like processes.  A process in a pid namespace may see all
      of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes in all
      of the namespaces which are children of its namespace.  Processes may not,
      however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in their
      own.  The same goes for sibling namespaces.
      
      The know issue to be solved in the nearest future is signal handling in the
      namespace boundary.  That is, currently the namespace's init is treated like
      an ordinary task that can be killed from within an namespace.  Ideally, the
      signal handling by the namespace's init should have two sides: when signaling
      the init from its namespace, the init should look like a real init task, i.e.
      receive only those signals, that is explicitly wants to; when signaling the
      init from one of the parent namespaces, init should look like an ordinary
      task, i.e.  receive any signal, only taking the general permissions into
      account.
      
      The pid namespace was developed by Pavel Emlyanov and Sukadev Bhattiprolu and
      we eventually came to almost the same implementation, which differed in some
      details.  This set is based on Pavel's patches, but it includes comments and
      patches that from Sukadev.
      
      Many thanks to Oleg, who reviewed the patches, pointed out many BUGs and made
      valuable advises on how to make this set cleaner.
      
      This patch:
      
      We have to call exit_task_namespaces() only after the exiting task has
      reparented all his children and is sure that no other threads will reparent
      theirs for it.  Why this is needed is explained in appropriate patch.  This
      one only reworks the forget_original_parent() so that after calling this a
      task cannot be/become parent of any other task.
      
      We check PF_EXITING instead of ->exit_state while choosing the new parent.
      Note that tasklits_lock acts as a barrier, everyone who takes tasklist after
      us (when forget_original_parent() drops it) must see PF_EXITING.
      
      The other changes are just cleanups.  They just move some code from
      exit_notify to forget_original_parent().  It is a bit silly to declare
      ptrace_dead in exit_notify(), take tasklist, pass ptrace_dead to
      forget_original_parent(), unlock-lock-unlock tasklist, and then use
      ptrace_dead.

      Make access to task's nsproxy lighter · cf7b708c
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
      the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists.  This is
      slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.
      
      E.g.  Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
      review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
      has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
      impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.
      
      On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
      the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
      can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.
      
      The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
      like this:
      
           rcu_read_lock();
           nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
           if (nsproxy != NULL) {
                   / *
                     * work with the namespaces here
                     * e.g. get the reference on one of them
                     * /
           } / *
               * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
               * almost dead (zombie)
               * /
           rcu_read_unlock();
      
      This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
      of course, tested.

      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
      replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they

      Task Control Groups: make cpusets a client of cgroups · 8793d854
      Paul Menage 提交于
      Remove the filesystem support logic from the cpusets system and makes cpusets
      a cgroup subsystem
      
      The "cpuset" filesystem becomes a dummy filesystem; attempts to mount it get
      passed through to the cgroup filesystem with the appropriate options to
      emulate the old cpuset filesystem behaviour.

      signalfd simplification · b8fceee1
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
      sighand during its lifetime.
      
      In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
      poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2).  This also allows to remove
      all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
      dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
      
      I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
      
      The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
      private signals and the group ones.  I think this is an acceptable
      behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
      fetch w/out signalfd.

      Freezer: avoid freezing kernel threads prematurely · 0c1eecfb
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are
      being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely.
      To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE
      unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks()
      check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags
      when user space processes are to be frozen.
      
      Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set
      TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have
      PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags.  For this reason task_lock() must be used to
      prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which
      p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p).  Also, we
      need to prevent the following scenario from happening:
      
      * daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path
      * freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive
      * task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE
      * freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task
      * task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at
        that point
      
      This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and
      p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns
      out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      Audit: add TTY input auditing · 522ed776
      Miloslav Trmac 提交于
      Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
      required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
      non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
      actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
      becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
      necessary to audit TTY output as well.
      
      Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
      audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
      transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
      work).
      
      TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
      within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
      useless audit events.
      
      Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
      by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
      The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
      attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
      example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
      interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
      might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
      
      Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
      e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
      audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
      descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
      
      See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
      more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.
