sched: Change task_struct::state

2021-06-18T09:43:09Z

Change the type and name of task_struct::state. Drop the volatile and shrink it to an 'unsigned int'. Rename it in order to find all uses such that we can use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE as appropriate.

ptrace: make ptrace() fail if the tracee changed its pid unexpectedly

2021-05-12T17:45:22Z

Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T, both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads and does ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L); If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the tracee changed its pid. This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait() and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL. The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API, and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression: - If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the same as the one it thinks it is targeting. - To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals" the leader's pid. Test-case: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include void *tf(void *arg) { execve("/usr/bin/true", NULL, NULL); assert(0); return NULL; } int main(void) { int leader = fork(); if (!leader) { kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); pthread_t th; pthread_create(&th, NULL, tf, NULL); for (;;) pause(); return 0; } waitpid(leader, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, leader, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE | PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC); waitpid(leader, NULL, 0); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0); waitpid(leader, NULL, 0); int status, thread = waitpid(-1, &status, 0); assert(thread > 0 && thread != leader); assert(status == 0x80137f); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, thread, 0,0); /* * waitid() because waitpid(leader, &status, WNOWAIT) does not * report status. Why ???? * * Why WEXITED? because we have another kernel problem connected * to mt-exec. */ siginfo_t info; assert(waitid(P_PID, leader, &info, WSTOPPED|WEXITED|WNOWAIT) == 0); assert(info.si_pid == leader && info.si_status == 0x0405); /* OK, it sleeps in ptrace(PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC == 0x04) */ assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0) == -1); assert(errno == ESRCH); assert(leader == waitpid(leader, &status, WNOHANG)); assert(status == 0x04057f); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0) == 0); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Reported-by: Simon Marchi Acked-by: "Eric W.

Revert "kernel: treat PF_IO_WORKER like PF_KTHREAD for ptrace/signals"

2021-03-27T20:09:10Z

This reverts commit 6fb8f43cede0e4bd3ead847de78d531424a96be9. The IO threads do allow signals now, including SIGSTOP, and we can allow ptrace attach. Attaching won't reveal anything interesting for the IO threads, but it will allow eg gdb to attach to a task with io_urings and IO threads without complaining. And once attached, it will allow the usual introspection into regular threads. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

rseq, ptrace: Add PTRACE_GET_RSEQ_CONFIGURATION request

2021-03-17T15:15:39Z

For userspace checkpoint and restore (C/R) a way of getting process state containing RSEQ configuration is needed. There are two ways this information is going to be used: - to re-enable RSEQ for threads which had it enabled before C/R - to detect if a thread was in a critical section during C/R Since C/R preserves TLS memory and addresses RSEQ ABI will be restored using the address registered before C/R. Detection whether the thread is in a critical section during C/R is needed to enforce behavior of RSEQ abort during C/R. Attaching with ptrace() before registers are dumped itself doesn't cause RSEQ abort. Restoring the instruction pointer within the critical section is problematic because rseq_cs may get cleared before the control is passed to the migrated application code leading to RSEQ invariants not being preserved. C/R code will use RSEQ ABI address to find the abort handler to which the instruction pointer needs to be set. To achieve above goals expose the RSEQ ABI address and the signature value with the new ptrace request PTRACE_GET_RSEQ_CONFIGURATION. This new ptrace request can also be used by debuggers so they are aware of stops within restartable sequences in progress.

mm: cleanup: remove unused tsk arg from __access_remote_vm

2020-12-15T20:13:40Z

Despite a comment that said that page fault accounting would be charged to whatever task_struct* was passed into __access_remote_vm(), the tsk argument was actually unused. Making page fault accounting actually use this task struct is quite a project, so there is no point in keeping the tsk argument. Delete both the comment, and the argument.

The non-x86 consolidation of this is going to come seperate via Jens. - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user space emulation.

This includes the core changes and the x86 support code. - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering and protection. - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390 specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall restart mechanism" * tag 'core-entry-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) entry: Add syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() entry: Add exit_to_user_mode() wrapper entry_Add_enter_from_user_mode_wrapper entry: Rename exit_to_user_mode() entry: Rename enter_from_user_mode() docs: Document Syscall User Dispatch selftests: Add benchmark for syscall user dispatch selftests: Add kselftest for syscall user dispatch entry: Support Syscall User Dispatch on common syscall entry kernel: Implement selective syscall userspace redirection signal: Expose SYS_USER_DISPATCH si_code type x86: vdso: Expose sigreturn address on vdso to the kernel MAINTAINERS: Add entry for common entry code entry: Fix boot for !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY x86: Support HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK context_tracking: Only define schedule_user() on !HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK archs sched: Detect call to schedule from critical entry code context_tracking: Don't implement exception_enter/exit() on CONFIG_HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK context_tracking: Introduce HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK x86: Reclaim unused x86 TI flags ...

ptrace: Set PF_SUPERPRIV when checking capability

2020-11-17T20:53:22Z

Commit 69f594a38967 ("ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat") replaced the use of ns_capable() with has_ns_capability{,_noaudit}() which doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV. Commit 6b3ad6649a4c ("ptrace: reintroduce usage of subjective credentials in ptrace_has_cap()") replaced has_ns_capability{,_noaudit}() with security_capable(), which doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV neither. Since commit 98f368e9e263 ("kernel: Add noaudit variant of ns_capable()"), a new ns_capable_noaudit() helper is available. Let's use it! As a result, the signature of ptrace_has_cap() is restored to its original one. Cc: Christian Brauner Cc: Eric Paris Cc: Jann Horn Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Serge E.
