      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.

      pi-futex: fix exit races and locking problems · 778e9a9c
      Alexey Kuznetsov 提交于
      1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
         exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.
      
      2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.
      
      3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
         Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
         and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
         is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
         each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)
      
      4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
         when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
         in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
         I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:
      
                              if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
                                      ret = 0;
      
         is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
         rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
         owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
         I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
         and making all the work in context of process taking lock.
      
      From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
      
      Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
          an additional state transition to the exit code.
      
          This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
          is not able to release the futexes.
      
      Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
          problem finally.
      
      Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
          in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
          functions.
      
          This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()
      
      Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()
      
      Added some error checks for verification.
      
      The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

      recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes · 7bb44ade
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
      do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
      from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.
      
      In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
      code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.
      
      This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.  It
      changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
      recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

      signal/timer/event: signalfd core · fba2afaa
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
      
      I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
      broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
      signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
      kernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on
      the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This
      seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test
      program for it:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c
      
      The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
      receiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:
      
      int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);
      
      The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
      to close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
      signalfd file.
      
      The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
      in.  The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".
      
      The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)
      will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct
      consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
      used together with epoll(2) too.
      
      The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
      the userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied
      in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also
      return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
      has been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
      return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.
      
      If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
      signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also
      return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the
      struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
      __SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:
      
      struct signalfd_siginfo {
      	__u32 signo;	/* si_signo */
      	__s32 err;	/* si_errno */

      [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field · 4fd45812
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
      being expanded).  When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
      to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
      or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
      
      Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
      it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can
      distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
      embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.
