proc: fix NULL dereference when reading /proc//auxv

2016-10-28T01:43:43Z

Reading auxv of any kernel thread results in NULL pointer dereferencing in auxv_read() where mm can be NULL. Fix that by checking for NULL mm and bailing out early. This is also the original behavior changed by recent commit c5317167854e ("proc: switch auxv to use of __mem_open()"). # cat /proc/2/auxv Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000a8 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM CPU: 3 PID: 113 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.9.0-rc1-ARCH+ #1 Hardware name: BCM2709 task: ea3b0b00 task.stack: e99b2000 PC is at auxv_read+0x24/0x4c LR is at do_readv_writev+0x2fc/0x37c Process cat (pid: 113, stack limit = 0xe99b2210) Call chain: auxv_read do_readv_writev vfs_readv default_file_splice_read splice_direct_to_actor do_splice_direct do_sendfile SyS_sendfile64 ret_fast_syscall Fixes: c5317167854e ("proc: switch auxv to use of __mem_open()") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1476966200-14457-1-git-send-email-chianglungyu@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Leon Yu Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Al Viro Cc: Kees Cook Cc: John Stultz Cc: Mateusz Guzik Cc: Janis Danisevskis Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: don't use FOLL_FORCE for reading cmdline and environment

2016-10-25T02:00:44Z

Now that Lorenzo cleaned things up and made the FOLL_FORCE users explicit, it becomes obvious how some of them don't really need FOLL_FORCE at all. So remove FOLL_FORCE from the proc code that reads the command line and arguments from user space. The mem_rw() function actually does want FOLL_FORCE, because gdd (and possibly many other debuggers) use it as a much more convenient version of PTRACE_PEEKDATA, but we should consider making the FOLL_FORCE part conditional on actually being a ptracer. This does not actually do that, just moves adds a comment to that effect and moves the gup_flags settings next to each other. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks

2016-10-20T07:21:41Z

This reverts more of: b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc//maps") ... which was partially reverted by: 65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc//maps [stack:TID] annotation") Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps. In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range. In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone: KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running ordinary process-context kernel code. This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code, and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs that frequently switch stacks on their own.

fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat

2016-10-20T07:21:41Z

Reporting these fields on a non-current task is dangerous. If the task is in any state other than normal kernel code, they may contain garbage or even kernel addresses on some architectures. (x86_64 used to do this. I bet lots of architectures still do.) With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it can OOPS, too. As far as I know, there are no use programs that make any material use of these fields, so just get rid of them.

mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

2016-10-19T15:12:14Z

This removes the 'write' argument from access_remote_vm() and replaces it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag. We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
