2020-06-16proc/bootconfig: Fix to use correct quotes for valueMasami Hiramatsu
Fix /proc/bootconfig to select double or single quotes corrctly according to the value. If a bootconfig value includes a double quote character, we must use single-quotes to quote that value. This modifies if() condition and blocks for avoiding double-quote in value check in 2 places. Anyway, since xbc_array_for_each_value() can handle the array which has a single node correctly. Thus, if (vnode && xbc_node_is_array(vnode)) { xbc_array_for_each_value(vnode) /* vnode->next != NULL */ ... } else { snprintf(val); /* val is an empty string if !vnode */ } is equivalent to if (vnode) { xbc_array_for_each_value(vnode) /* vnode->next can be NULL */ ... } else { snprintf(""); /* value is always empty */ } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/159230244786.65555.3763894451251622488.stgit@devnote2 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: c1a3c36017d4 ("proc: bootconfig: Add /proc/bootconfig to show boot config list") Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2020-06-12proc: Use new_inode not new_inode_pseudoEric W. Biederman
Recently syzbot reported that unmounting proc when there is an ongoing inotify watch on the root directory of proc could result in a use after free when the watch is removed after the unmount of proc when the watcher exits. Commit 69879c01a0c3 ("proc: Remove the now unnecessary internal mount of proc") made it easier to unmount proc and allowed syzbot to see the problem, but looking at the code it has been around for a long time. Looking at the code the fsnotify watch should have been removed by fsnotify_sb_delete in generic_shutdown_super. Unfortunately the inode was allocated with new_inode_pseudo instead of new_inode so the inode was not on the sb->s_inodes list. Which prevented fsnotify_unmount_inodes from finding the inode and removing the watch as well as made it so the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount" warning could not find the inodes to warn about them. Make all of the inodes in proc visible to generic_shutdown_super, and fsnotify_sb_delete by using new_inode instead of new_inode_pseudo. The only functional difference is that new_inode places the inodes on the sb->s_inodes list. I wrote a small test program and I can verify that without changes it can trigger this issue, and by replacing new_inode_pseudo with new_inode the issues goes away.

2020-06-09mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already includedMike Rapoport
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>. The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Cain <bcain@codeaurora.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: "David S.

2020-06-08kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot parameters to sysctl aliasesGuilherme G. Piccoli
After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases. This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and {hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure. It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or 1, not the full range of integers. We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put the alias table in alphabetical order.

2020-06-08kernel/sysctl: support handling command line aliasesVlastimil Babka
We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line, but historically some parameters introduced their own command line equivalent, which we don't want to remove for compatibility reasons. We can, however, convert them to the generic infrastructure with a table translating the legacy command line parameters to their sysctl names, and removing the one-off param handlers. This patch adds the support and makes the first conversion to demonstrate it, on the (deprecated) numa_zonelist_order parameter.

2020-06-08kernel/sysctl: support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command lineVlastimil Babka
Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3. This series adds support for something that seems like many people always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of sysctl.vm.something=1 The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the sysctl variants. I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more. The conversion also has varying level of success: - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything but warn on deprecated value these days. - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer value - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic, so there's no straighforward conversion possible - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems pointless for a single flag This patch (of 5): A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line. Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

2020-06-02/proc/PID/smaps: Add PMD migration entry parsingHuang Ying
Now, when reading /proc/PID/smaps, the PMD migration entry in page table is simply ignored. To improve the accuracy of /proc/PID/smaps, its parsing and processing is added. To test the patch, we run pmbench to eat 400 MB memory in background, then run /usr/bin/migratepages and `cat /proc/PID/smaps` every second. The issue as follows can be reproduced within 60 seconds. Before the patch, for the fully populated 400 MB anonymous VMA, some THP pages under migration may be lost as below. 7f3f6a7e5000-7f3f837e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 409600 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 407552 kB Pss: 407552 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 407552 kB Referenced: 301056 kB Anonymous: 407552 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 405504 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 1 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me ac After the patch, it will be always, 7f3f6a7e5000-7f3f837e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 409600 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 409600 kB Pss: 409600 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 409600 kB Referenced: 294912 kB Anonymous: 409600 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 407552 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 1 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me ac Signed-off-by: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2020-06-02mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK insteadNeilBrown
After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8. Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support Branch Target Identification (BTI): - Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code, although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain. - Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions. - BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions. - Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the BTI feature in .note.gnu.property. - Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn trampoline. Shadow Call Stack (SCS): - Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task that holds only return addresses. This protects function return control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack. - Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode, hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc). - Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it too. - SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y. CPU feature detection: - Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system. - Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has been extended. Perf and PMU drivers: - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers. Hardware errata: - Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations. - Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig. Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC): - Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2). - Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version. Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI): - Unexport a bunch of unused symbols. - Minor fixes to handling of firmware data. Pointer authentication: - Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump. - Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup. BPF backend: - Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions. vDSO: - Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder. - Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace. ACPI: - Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to the "num_ids" field. - Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe root complexes. - Minor other IORT-related fixes. Miscellaneous: - Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing deadlock. - Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections). - Refactoring and cleanup" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (148 commits) KVM: arm64: Move __load_guest_stage2 to kvm_mmu.h KVM: arm64: Check advertised Stage-2 page size capability arm64/cpufeature: Add get_arm64_ftr_reg_nowarn() ACPI/IORT: Remove the unused __get_pci_rid() arm64/cpuinfo: Add ID_MMFR4_EL1 into the cpuinfo_arm64 context arm64/cpufeature: Add remaining feature bits in ID_AA64PFR1 register arm64/cpufeature: Add remaining feature bits in ID_AA64PFR0 register arm64/cpufeature: Add remaining feature bits in ID_AA64ISAR0 register arm64/cpufeature: Add remaining feature bits in ID_MMFR4 register arm64/cpufeature: Add remaining feature bits in ID_PFR0 register arm64/cpufeature: Introduce ID_MMFR5 CPU register arm64/cpufeature: Introduce ID_DFR1 CPU register arm64/cpufeature: Introduce ID_PFR2 CPU register arm64/cpufeature: Make doublelock a signed feature in ID_AA64DFR0 arm64/cpufeature: Drop TraceFilt feature exposure from ID_DFR0 register arm64/cpufeature: Add explicit ftr_id_isar0[] for ID_ISAR0 register arm64: mm: Add asid_gen_match() helper firmware: smccc: Fix missing prototype warning for arm_smccc_version_init arm64: vdso: Fix CFI directives in sigreturn trampoline arm64: vdso: Don't prefix sigreturn trampoline with a BTI C instruction ...

2020-05-19proc: proc_pid_ns takes super_block as an argumentAlexey Gladkov
syzbot found that touch /proc/testfile causes NULL pointer dereference at tomoyo_get_local_path() because inode of the dentry is NULL. Before c59f415a7cb6, Tomoyo received pid_ns from proc's s_fs_info directly. Since proc_pid_ns() can only work with inode, using it in the tomoyo_get_local_path() was wrong. To avoid creating more functions for getting proc_ns, change the argument type of the proc_pid_ns() function. Then, Tomoyo can use the existing super_block to get pid_ns.

2020-05-09net: bpf: Add netlink and ipv6_route bpf_iter targetsYonghong Song
This patch added netlink and ipv6_route targets, using the same seq_ops (except show() and minor changes for stop()) for /proc/net/{netlink,ipv6_route}. The net namespace for these targets are the current net namespace at file open stage, similar to /proc/net/{netlink,ipv6_route} reference counting the net namespace at seq_file open stage. Since module is not supported for now, ipv6_route is supported only if the IPV6 is built-in, i.e., not compiled as a module. The restriction can be lifted once module is properly supported for bpf_iter.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer.

2020-04-24proc: modernize proc to support multiple private instancesEric W. Biederman
Alexey Gladkov <gladkov.alexey@gmail.com> writes: Procfs modernization: --------------------- Historically procfs was always tied to pid namespaces, during pid namespace creation we internally create a procfs mount for it. However, this has the effect that all new procfs mounts are just a mirror of the internal one, any change, any mount option update, any new future introduction will propagate to all other procfs mounts that are in the same pid namespace. This may have solved several use cases in that time. However today we face new requirements, and making procfs able to support new private instances inside same pid namespace seems a major point. If we want to to introduce new features and security mechanisms we have to make sure first that we do not break existing usecases. Supporting private procfs instances will allow to support new features and behaviour without propagating it to all other procfs mounts. Today procfs is more of a burden especially to some Embedded, IoT, sandbox, container use cases. In user space we are over-mounting null or inaccessible files on top to hide files and information. If we want to hide pids we have to create PID namespaces otherwise mount options propagate to all other proc mounts, changing a mount option value in one mount will propagate to all other proc mounts. If we want to introduce new features, then they will propagate to all other mounts too, resulting either maybe new useful functionality or maybe breaking stuff. We have also to note that userspace should not workaround procfs, the kernel should just provide a sane simple interface. In this regard several developers and maintainers pointed out that there are problems with procfs and it has to be modernized: "Here's another one: split up and modernize /proc." by Andy Lutomirski [1] Discussion about kernel pointer leaks: "And yes, as Kees and Daniel mentioned, it's definitely not just dmesg. In fact, the primary things tend to be /proc and /sys, not dmesg itself." By Linus Torvalds [2] Lot of other areas in the kernel and filesystems have been updated to be able to support private instances, devpts is one major example [3]. Which will be used for: 1) Embedded systems and IoT: usually we have one supervisor for apps, we have some lightweight sandbox support, however if we create pid namespaces we have to manage all the processes inside too, where our goal is to be able to run a bunch of apps each one inside its own mount namespace, maybe use network namespaces for vlans setups, but right now we only want mount namespaces, without all the other complexity. We want procfs to behave more like a real file system, and block access to inodes that belong to other users. The 'hidepid=' will not work since it is a shared mount option. 2) Containers, sandboxes and Private instances of file systems - devpts case Historically, lot of file systems inside Linux kernel view when instantiated were just a mirror of an already created and mounted filesystem. This was the case of devpts filesystem, it seems at that time the requirements were to optimize things and reuse the same memory, etc. This design used to work but not anymore with today's containers, IoT, hostile environments and all the privacy challenges that Linux faces. In that regards, devpts was updated so that each new mounts is a total independent file system by the following patches: "devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem" by Eric W. Biederman [3] [4] 3) Linux Security Modules have multiple ptrace paths inside some subsystems, however inside procfs, the implementation does not guarantee that the ptrace() check which triggers the security_ptrace_check() hook will always run. We have the 'hidepid' mount option that can be used to force the ptrace_may_access() check inside has_pid_permissions() to run. The problem is that 'hidepid' is per pid namespace and not attached to the mount point, any remount or modification of 'hidepid' will propagate to all other procfs mounts. This also does not allow to support Yama LSM easily in desktop and user sessions. Yama ptrace scope which restricts ptrace and some other syscalls to be allowed only on inferiors, can be updated to have a per-task context, where the context will be inherited during fork(), clone() and preserved across execve(). If we support multiple private procfs instances, then we may force the ptrace_may_access() on /proc/<pids>/ to always run inside that new procfs instances. This will allow to specifiy on user sessions if we should populate procfs with pids that the user can ptrace or not. By using Yama ptrace scope, some restricted users will only be able to see inferiors inside /proc, they won't even be able to see their other processes. Some software like Chromium, Firefox's crash handler, Wine and others are already using Yama to restrict which processes can be ptracable. With this change this will give the possibility to restrict /proc/<pids>/ but more importantly this will give desktop users a generic and usuable way to specifiy which users should see all processes and which user can not. Side notes: * This covers the lack of seccomp where it is not able to parse arguments, it is easy to install a seccomp filter on direct syscalls that operate on pids, however /proc/<pid>/ is a Linux ABI using filesystem syscalls. With this change all LSMs should be able to analyze open/read/write/close... on /proc/<pid>/ 4) This will allow to implement new features either in kernel or userspace without having to worry about procfs. In containers, sandboxes, etc we have workarounds to hide some /proc inodes, this should be supported natively without doing extra complex work, the kernel should be able to support sane options that work with today and future Linux use cases. 5) Creation of new superblock with all procfs options for each procfs mount will fix the ignoring of mount options. The problem is that the second mount of procfs in the same pid namespace ignores the mount options. The mount options are ignored without error until procfs is remounted. Before: proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", 0, "hidepid=1") = 0 +++ exited with 0 +++ proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 After: proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=ptraceable 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=ptraceable 0 0 proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=invisible 0 0 Introduced changes: ------------------- Each mount of procfs creates a separate procfs instance with its own mount options. This series adds few new mount options: * New 'hidepid=ptraceable' or 'hidepid=4' mount option to show only ptraceable processes in the procfs. This allows to support lightweight sandboxes in Embedded Linux, also solves the case for LSM where now with this mount option, we make sure that they have a ptrace path in procfs. * 'subset=pid' that allows to hide non-pid inodes from procfs. It can be used in containers and sandboxes, as these are already trying to hide and block access to procfs inodes anyway. ChangeLog: ---------- * Rebase on top of v5.7-rc1. * Fix a resource leak if proc is not mounted or if proc is simply reconfigured. * Add few selftests. * After a discussion with Eric W. Biederman, the numerical values for hidepid parameter have been removed from uapi. * Remove proc_self and proc_thread_self from the pid_namespace struct. * I took into account the comment of Kees Cook. * Update Reviewed-by tags. * 'subset=pidfs' renamed to 'subset=pid' as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. * Include Reviewed-by tags. * Rebase on top of Eric W.

The hidepid parameter values are becoming more and more and it becomes difficult to remember what each new magic number means. Backward compatibility is preserved since it is possible to specify numerical value for the hidepid parameter. This does not break the fsconfig since it is not possible to specify a numerical value through it. All numeric values are converted to a string. The type FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY cannot be used to indicate a numerical value. Selftest has been added to verify this behavior.

2020-04-22proc: allow to mount many instances of proc in one pid namespaceAlexey Gladkov
This patch allows to have multiple procfs instances inside the same pid namespace. The aim here is lightweight sandboxes, and to allow that we have to modernize procfs internals. 1) The main aim of this work is to have on embedded systems one supervisor for apps. Right now we have some lightweight sandbox support, however if we create pid namespacess we have to manages all the processes inside too, where our goal is to be able to run a bunch of apps each one inside its own mount namespace without being able to notice each other. We only want to use mount namespaces, and we want procfs to behave more like a real mount point. 2) Linux Security Modules have multiple ptrace paths inside some subsystems, however inside procfs, the implementation does not guarantee that the ptrace() check which triggers the security_ptrace_check() hook will always run. We have the 'hidepid' mount option that can be used to force the ptrace_may_access() check inside has_pid_permissions() to run. The problem is that 'hidepid' is per pid namespace and not attached to the mount point, any remount or modification of 'hidepid' will propagate to all other procfs mounts. This also does not allow to support Yama LSM easily in desktop and user sessions. Yama ptrace scope which restricts ptrace and some other syscalls to be allowed only on inferiors, can be updated to have a per-task context, where the context will be inherited during fork(), clone() and preserved across execve(). If we support multiple private procfs instances, then we may force the ptrace_may_access() on /proc/<pids>/ to always run inside that new procfs instances.
