Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "There is a lot here. A lot of these changes result in subtle user visible differences in kernel behavior. I don't expect anything will care but I will revert/fix things immediately if any regressions show up. From Seth Forshee there is a continuation of the work to make the vfs ready for unpriviled mounts. We had thought the previous changes prevented the creation of files outside of s_user_ns of a filesystem, but it turns we missed the O_CREAT path. Ooops. Pavel Tikhomirov and Oleg Nesterov worked together to fix a long standing bug in the implemenation of PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER where only children that are forked after the prctl are considered and not children forked before the prctl. The only known user of this prctl systemd forks all children after the prctl. So no userspace regressions will occur. Holding earlier forked children to the same rules as later forked children creates a semantic that is sane enough to allow checkpoing of processes that use this feature. There is a long delayed change by Nikolay Borisov to limit inotify instances inside a user namespace. Michael Kerrisk extends the API for files used to maniuplate namespaces with two new trivial ioctls to allow discovery of the hierachy and properties of namespaces. Konstantin Khlebnikov with the help of Al Viro adds code that when a network namespace exits purges it's sysctl entries from the dcache. As in some circumstances this could use a lot of memory. Vivek Goyal fixed a bug with stacked filesystems where the permissions on the wrong inode were being checked. I continue previous work on ptracing across exec. Allowing a file to be setuid across exec while being ptraced if the tracer has enough credentials in the user namespace, and if the process has CAP_SETUID in it's own namespace. Proc files for setuid or otherwise undumpable executables are now owned by the root in the user namespace of their mm. Allowing debugging of setuid applications in containers to work better. A bug I introduced with permission checking and automount is now fixed. The big change is to mark the mounts that the kernel initiates as a result of an automount. This allows the permission checks in sget to be safely suppressed for this kind of mount. As the permission check happened when the original filesystem was mounted. Finally a special case in the mount namespace is removed preventing unbounded chains in the mount hash table, and making the semantics simpler which benefits CRIU. The vfs fix along with related work in ima and evm I believe makes us ready to finish developing and merge fully unprivileged mounts of the fuse filesystem. The cleanups of the mount namespace makes discussing how to fix the worst case complexity of umount. The stacked filesystem fixes pave the way for adding multiple mappings for the filesystem uids so that efficient and safer containers can be implemented" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc/sysctl: Don't grab i_lock under sysctl_lock. vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid() proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts. prctl: propagate has_child_subreaper flag to every descendant introduce the walk_process_tree() helper nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a userns fs: Better permission checking for submounts exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction vfs: open() with O_CREAT should not create inodes with unknown ids nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace type proc: Better ownership of files for non-dumpable tasks in user namespaces exec: Remove LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP exec: Test the ptracer's saved cred to see if the tracee can gain caps exec: Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits

debugfs: add debugfs_lookup()

2017-02-02T17:20:16Z

We don't always have easy access to the dentry of a file or directory we created in debugfs. Add a helper which allows us to get a dentry we previously created. The motivation for this change is a problem with blktrace and the blk-mq debugfs entries introduced in 07e4fead45e6 ("blk-mq: create debugfs directory tree"). Namely, in some cases, the directory that blktrace needs to create may already exist, but in other cases, it may not. We _could_ rely on a bunch of implied knowledge to decide whether to create the directory or not, but it's much cleaner on our end to just look it up.

fs: Better permission checking for submounts

2017-02-01T15:36:12Z

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem. The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the ordinary filesystem permission checks. Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem. Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems ordinary permission checks. Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate. vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate action. sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks on submounts. follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that has proven problemantic. do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so that we know userspace will never by able to specify it. autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking. cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount. debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of the debugfs automount function.

fs: Replace current_fs_time() with current_time()

2016-09-28T01:06:22Z

current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument. As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps. Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion. Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be deleted. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani Signed-off-by: Al Viro

libfs: support RENAME_NOREPLACE in simple_rename()

2016-09-27T09:03:57Z

This is trivial to do: - add flags argument to simple_rename() - check if flags doesn't have any other than RENAME_NOREPLACE - assign simple_rename() to .rename2 instead of .rename Filesystems converted: hugetlbfs, ramfs, bpf. Debugfs uses simple_rename() to implement debugfs_rename(), which is for debugfs instances to rename files internally, not for userspace filesystem access. For this case pass zero flags to simple_rename(). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Alexei Starovoitov

debugfs: Make automount point inodes permanently empty

2016-04-12T22:01:53Z

Starting with 4.1 the tracing subsystem has its own filesystem which is automounted in the tracing subdirectory of debugfs. Prior to this debugfs could be bind mounted in a cloned mount namespace, but if tracefs has been mounted under debugfs this now fails because there is a locked child mount. This creates a regression for container software which bind mounts debugfs to satisfy the assumption of some userspace software. In other pseudo filesystems such as proc and sysfs we're already creating mountpoints like this in such a way that no dirents can be created in the directories, allowing them to be exceptions to some MNT_LOCKED tests. In fact we're already do this for the tracefs mountpoint in sysfs. Do the same in debugfs_create_automount(), since the intention here is clearly to create a mountpoint. This fixes the regression, as locked child mounts on permanently empty directories do not cause a bind mount to fail.

debugfs: add support for self-protecting attribute file fops

2016-04-12T21:14:21Z

In order to protect them against file removal issues, debugfs_create_file() creates a lifetime managing proxy around each struct file_operations handed in. In cases where this struct file_operations is able to manage file lifetime by itself already, the proxy created by debugfs is a waste of resources. The most common class of struct file_operations given to debugfs are those defined by means of the DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() macro. Introduce a DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() macro to allow any struct file_operations of this class to be easily made file lifetime aware and thus, to be operated unproxied. Specifically, introduce debugfs_attr_read() and debugfs_attr_write() which wrap simple_attr_read() and simple_attr_write() under the protection of a debugfs_use_file_start()/debugfs_use_file_finish() pair. Make DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() set the defined struct file_operations' ->read() and ->write() members to these wrappers. Export debugfs_create_file_unsafe() in order to allow debugfs users to create their files in non-proxying operation mode. Signed-off-by: Nicolai Stange Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
