From 8f942eea12ae8c5a7cde85c145234b25e38de959 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:12:40 -0700 Subject: binfmt_elf_fdpic: stop using dump_emit() on user pointers on !MMU Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5. At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work around : ELF core dumping doesn't take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs. With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across unbounded sleeps".) Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core dumping code. Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their contents show up in the core dump properly. The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs. At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this issue (mmget_still_valid()). I have tested: - Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works. - The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible. - X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0. - NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.) This patch (of 7): dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory. Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS, even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block. One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use __get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will just call __get_user_pages() for us.
