um: Give start_idle_thread() a return code

2019-02-11T17:53:43+00:00

commit 7ff1e34bbdc15acab823b1ee4240e94623d50ee8 upstream.

Fixes:
arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c:613:1: warning: control reaches end of
non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

longjmp() never returns but gcc still warns that the end of the function
can be reached.
Add a return code and debug aid to detect this impossible case.

Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

2018-10-21T07:46:11+00:00

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

um: Use POSIX ucontext_t instead of struct ucontext

2018-10-21T07:44:48+00:00

commit 4d1a535b8ec5e74b42dfd9dc809142653b2597f6 upstream.

glibc 2.26 removed the 'struct ucontext' to "improve" POSIX compliance
and break programs, including User Mode Linux. Fix User Mode Linux
by using POSIX ucontext_t.

This fixes:

arch/um/os-Linux/signal.c: In function 'hard_handler':
arch/um/os-Linux/signal.c:163:22: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct ucontext'
  mcontext_t *mc = &uc->uc_mcontext;

fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories

2016-04-30T22:06:04+00:00

commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream.

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

uml: flush stdout before forking

2016-02-02T19:09:23+00:00

commit 0754fb298f2f2719f0393491d010d46cfb25d043 upstream.

I was seeing some really weird behaviour where piping UML's output
somewhere would cause output to get duplicated:

  $ ./vmlinux | head -n 40
  Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE

This is because these tests do a fork() which duplicates the non-empty
stdout buffer, then glibc flushes the duplicated buffer as each child
exits.

A simple workaround is to flush before forking.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-02-04T10:58:27+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

um: Skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test

2015-02-04T10:57:54+00:00

commit f911d731054ab3d82ee72a16b889e17ca3a2332a upstream.

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because
it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context.
On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called
by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace()
to fetch the value.
