git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner: "We have been discussing using pidfds to attach to namespaces for quite a while and the patches have in one form or another already existed for about a year. But I wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted. This contains the changes to make it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces of a process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two obvious examples: setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET); setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER); Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces. Apart from significantly reducing the number of syscalls needed to attach to all currently supported namespaces (eight "open+setns" sequences vs just a single "setns()"), this also allows atomic setns to a set of namespaces, i.e. either attaching to all namespaces succeeds or we fail without having changed anything. This is centered around a new internal struct nsset which holds all information necessary for a task to switch to a new set of namespaces atomically. Fwiw, with this change a pidfd becomes the only token needed to interact with a container. I'm expecting this to be picked-up by util-linux for nsenter rather soon. Associated with this change is a shiny new test-suite dedicated to setns() (for pidfds and nsfds alike)" * tag 'threads-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: selftests/pidfd: add pidfd setns tests nsproxy: attach to namespaces via pidfds nsproxy: add struct nsset

2020-05-09nsproxy: add struct nssetChristian Brauner
Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons. First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed. The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this should have functional consequences. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Cc: Eric W.

2020-05-07ipc/mqueue.c: change __do_notify() to bypass check_kill_permission()Oleg Nesterov
Commit cc731525f26a ("signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic") changed the value of SI_FROMUSER(SI_MESGQ), this means that mq_notify() no longer works if the sender doesn't have rights to send a signal. Change __do_notify() to use do_send_sig_info() instead of kill_pid_info() to avoid check_kill_permission(). This needs the additional notify.sigev_signo != 0 check, shouldn't we change do_mq_notify() to deny sigev_signo == 0 ?

2020-04-27sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handlerChristoph Hellwig
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. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

2020-04-07proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" filesAlexey Dobriyan
Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not. This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times by N threads scattered over the system".

2020-02-21Revert "ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()"Ioanna Alifieraki
This reverts commit a97955844807e327df11aa33869009d14d6b7de0. Commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") removes a lock that is needed. This leads to a process looping infinitely in exit_sem() and can also lead to a crash. There is a reproducer available in [1] and with the commit reverted the issue does not reproduce anymore. Using the reproducer found in [1] is fairly easy to reach a point where one of the child processes is looping infinitely in exit_sem between for(;;) and if (semid == -1) block, while it's trying to free its last sem_undo structure which has already been freed by freeary(). Each sem_undo struct is on two lists: one per semaphore set (list_id) and one per process (list_proc). The list_id list tracks undos by semaphore set, and the list_proc by process. Undo structures are removed either by freeary() or by exit_sem(). The freeary function is invoked when the user invokes a syscall to remove a semaphore set. During this operation freeary() traverses the list_id associated with the semaphore set and removes the undo structures from both the list_id and list_proc lists. For this case, exit_sem() is called at process exit. Each process contains a struct sem_undo_list (referred to as "ulp") which contains the head for the list_proc list. When the process exits, exit_sem() traverses this list to remove each sem_undo struct. As in freeary(), whenever a sem_undo struct is removed from list_proc, it is also removed from the list_id list. Removing elements from list_id is safe for both exit_sem() and freeary() due to sem_lock(). Removing elements from list_proc is not safe; freeary() locks &un->ulp->lock when it performs list_del_rcu(&un->list_proc) but exit_sem() does not (locking was removed by commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()"). This can result in the following situation while executing the reproducer [1] : Consider a child process in exit_sem() and the parent in freeary() (because of semctl(sid[i], NSEM, IPC_RMID)). - The list_proc for the child contains the last two undo structs A and B (the rest have been removed either by exit_sem() or freeary()). - The semid for A is 1 and semid for B is 2. - exit_sem() removes A and at the same time freeary() removes B. - Since A and B have different semid sem_lock() will acquire different locks for each process and both can proceed. The bug is that they remove A and B from the same list_proc at the same time because only freeary() acquires the ulp lock. When exit_sem() removes A it makes ulp->list_proc.next to point at B and at the same time freeary() removes B setting B->semid=-1. At the next iteration of for(;;) loop exit_sem() will try to remove B. The only way to break from for(;;) is for (&un->list_proc == &ulp->list_proc) to be true which is not. Then exit_sem() will check if B->semid=-1 which is and will continue looping in for(;;) until the memory for B is reallocated and the value at B->semid is changed. At that point, exit_sem() will crash attempting to unlink B from the lists (this can be easily triggered by running the reproducer [1] a second time). To prove this scenario instrumentation was added to keep information about each sem_undo (un) struct that is removed per process and per semaphore set (sma). CPU0 CPU1 [caller holds sem_lock(sma for A)] ... freeary() exit_sem() ... ... ... sem_lock(sma for B) spin_lock(A->ulp->lock) ... list_del_rcu(un_A->list_proc) list_del_rcu(un_B->list_proc) Undo structures A and B have different semid and sem_lock() operations proceed. However they belong to the same list_proc list and they are removed at the same time. This results into ulp->list_proc.next pointing to the address of B which is already removed. After reverting commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") the issue was no longer reproducible.

A use of uninitialized memory in msgctl_down() because msqid64 in ksys_msgctl hasn't been initialized. The local | msqid64 | is created in ksys_msgctl() and then passed into msgctl_down(). Along the way msqid64 is never initialized before msgctl_down() checks msqid64->msg_qbytes.

Update and document memory barriers for mqueue.c: - ewp->state is read without any locks, thus READ_ONCE is required. - add smp_aquire__after_ctrl_dep() after the READ_ONCE, we need acquire semantics if the value is STATE_READY. - use wake_q_add_safe() - document why __set_current_state() may be used: Reading task->state cannot happen before the wake_q_add() call, which happens while holding info->lock. Thus the spin_unlock() is the RELEASE, and the spin_lock() is the ACQUIRE. For completeness: there is also a 3 CPU scenario, if the to be woken up task is already on another wake_q. Then: - CPU1: spin_unlock() of the task that goes to sleep is the RELEASE - CPU2: the spin_lock() of the waker is the ACQUIRE - CPU2: smp_mb__before_atomic inside wake_q_add() is the RELEASE - CPU3: smp_mb__after_spinlock() inside try_to_wake_up() is the ACQUIRE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191020123305.14715-4-manfred@colorfullife.com Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: <1vier1@web.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2019-09-07ipc: fix sparc64 ipc() wrapperArnd Bergmann
Matt bisected a sparc64 specific issue with semctl, shmctl and msgctl to a commit from my y2038 series in linux-5.1, as I missed the custom sys_ipc() wrapper that sparc64 uses in place of the generic version that I patched. The problem is that the sys_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions in the kernel now do not allow being called with the IPC_64 flag any more, resulting in a -EINVAL error when they don't recognize the command. Instead, the correct way to do this now is to call the internal ksys_old_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions to select the API version. As we generally move towards these functions anyway, change all of sparc_ipc() to consistently use those in place of the sys_*() versions, and move the required ksys_*() declarations into linux/syscalls.h The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYSVIPC) check is required to avoid link errors when ipc is disabled.

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

During the cleanup, it calls mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all (which would indicate that the calculations would be sane). Instead, delay this check to after seeing a valid "user". The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.

2019-05-14ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.Manfred Spraul
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended mode. To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation for the index to the radix tree (idx). The disadvantage is that this can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could be higher than necessary. To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits: 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5. 2) At least, the cycling is done over "normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements "ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements Result: - for normal mode: No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42 active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix tree. Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with more than 63 active elements. - for extended mode: Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree. With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level is added without cyclic allocation. For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have observed < 1% performance impact. Notes: 1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic() is used. 2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation: x=semget(); for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);} y=semget(); Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep. 3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected: If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128 get/remove pairs. Performance check: A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs, with only these two IDs allocated. The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id. The test was run 5 times, averages are shown. 1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops) 1 & 40: -0.2% 1 & 3348: - 0.8% 1 & 27348: - 1.6% 1 & 15777204: - 3.2% Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level. The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower than what I remember (spectre impact?). V2 of the patch: - use "min" and "max" - use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of (2<<12).

Rewrite, based on the patch from Waiman Long: The mixing in of a sequence number into the IPC IDs is probably to avoid ID reuse in userspace as much as possible. With ipcmni_extend mode, the number of usable sequence numbers is greatly reduced leading to higher chance of ID reuse. To address this issue, we need to conserve the sequence number space as much as possible. Right now, the sequence number is incremented for every new ID created. In reality, we only need to increment the sequence number when new allocated ID is not greater than the last one allocated. It is in such case that the new ID may collide with an existing one. This is being done irrespective of the ipcmni mode. In order to avoid any races, the index is first allocated and then the pointer is replaced. Changes compared to the initial patch: - Handle failures from idr_alloc(). - Avoid that concurrent operations can see the wrong sequence number. (This is achieved by using idr_replace()). - IPCMNI_SEQ_SHIFT is not a constant, thus renamed to ipcmni_seq_shift(). - IPCMNI_SEQ_MAX is not a constant, thus renamed to ipcmni_seq_max().

2019-05-14ipc: allow boot time extension of IPCMNI from 32k to 16MWaiman Long
The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to 32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases. However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique identifiers. To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M. This is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that need a large number of unique IPC identifier. The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2). An application that depends on such pattern may not work properly. So it should only be used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers. This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128. So it is a trade-off. The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical path. So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real performance impact.

Our msg priorities became an rbtree as of d6629859b36d ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv"). However, consuming a msg in msg_get() remains logarithmic (still being better than the case before of course). By applying well known techniques to cache pointers we can have the node with the highest priority in O(1), which is specially nice for the rt cases. Furthermore, some callers can call msg_get() in a loop. A new msg_tree_erase() helper is also added to encapsulate the tree removal and node_cache game. Passes ltp mq testcases.

2019-04-07rhashtable: use bit_spin_locks to protect hash bucket.NeilBrown
This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket. The benefits of a bit spin_lock are: - no need to allocate a separate array of locks. - no need to have a configuration option to guide the choice of the size of this array - locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line that will have to be loaded anyway. When inserting at, or removing from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit. For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens when adding a new key. - even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway. The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity, which I think is quite manageable. Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair - if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can easily be starved. This is not a credible situation with rhashtable. Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to acquire different locks. As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory consumption. To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the pointer plus lock-bit that is stored in the bucket-table. This is "struct rhash_lock_head" and is empty. A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful. Variables of this type are most often called "bkt". Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a ->next pointer in an rhash_head. As these are now different types, pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case, 'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2019-02-28ipc: Convert mqueue fs to fs_contextDavid Howells
Convert the mqueue filesystem to use the filesystem context stuff. Notes: (1) The relevant ipc namespace is selected in when the context is initialised (and it defaults to the current task's ipc namespace). The caller can override this before calling vfs_get_tree(). (2) Rather than simply calling kern_mount_data(), mq_init_ns() and mq_internal_mount() create a context, adjust it and then do the rest of the mount procedure. (3) The lazy mqueue mounting on creation of a new namespace is retained from a previous patch, but the avoidance of sget() if no superblock yet exists is reverted and the superblock is again keyed on the namespace pointer. Yes, there was a performance gain in not searching the superblock hash, but it's only paid once per ipc namespace - and only if someone uses mqueue within that namespace, so I'm not sure it's worth it, especially as calling sget() allows avoidance of recursion.

2019-02-07y2038: syscalls: rename y2038 compat syscallsArnd Bergmann
A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit architectures as well. The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx() to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them on 32-bit architectures. Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the future. In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

2019-01-25ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscallsArnd Bergmann
The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze, mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag. For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k, mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the two groups of architectures. The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl() does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed accordingly. As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now, but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface. A small downside is that on architectures that do set ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol. I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for consistency, but decided against that for now. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2018-10-31ipc: IPCMNI limit check for msgmni and shmmniWaiman Long
Patch series "ipc: IPCMNI limit check for *mni & increase that limit", v9. The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written values which are not real. The real IPCMNI limit is now enforced to make sure that users won't put in an unrealistic value. The first 2 patches enforce the limits. There are also users out there requesting increase in the IPCMNI value. The last 2 patches attempt to do that by using a boot kernel parameter "ipcmni_extend" to increase the IPCMNI limit from 32k to 8M if the users really want the extended value. This patch (of 4): A user can write arbitrary integer values to msgmni and shmmni sysctl parameters without getting error, but the actual limit is really IPCMNI (32k). This can mislead users as they think they can get a value that is not real. The right limits are now set for msgmni and shmmni so that the users will become aware if they set a value outside of the acceptable range.
