[ Upstream commit 76149d53502cf17ef3ae454ff384551236fba867 ]

When reading /proc/[pid]/stat, do_task_stat() accesses task->real_parent
without proper RCU protection, which leads to:

  cpu 0                               cpu 1
  -----                               -----
  do_task_stat
    var = task->real_parent
                                      release_task
                                        call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
    task_tgid_nr_ns(var)
      rcu_read_lock   <--- Too late to protect task->real_parent!
      task_pid_ptr    <--- UAF!
      rcu_read_unlock

This patch uses task_ppid_nr_ns() instead of task_tgid_nr_ns() to add
proper RCU protection for accessing task->real_parent.

Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.

This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system.  This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.

Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.

Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).

Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.

Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).


This patch (of 7):

People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".

While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.

The following scenarios are imaginable:

(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
    disabled for selected workloads.

(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
    workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
    policy.

(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
    "madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
    advised.

(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
    for selected workloads -- "always" policy.

Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs.  It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.

(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.

Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely.  Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.

With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy.  That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.

The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising.  Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.

Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.

While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE.  Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".

Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"?  *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.

So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.

In essence, this patch:

(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
    of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).

    prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).

(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
    PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.

    Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
    it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
    was set.

(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
    the semantics clearly.

    Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.

(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
    with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior

    Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().

(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
    disabled completely

    Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
    completely, not only partially.

    For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
    are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
    ever required, we could add a new entry.

The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained.  This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).

For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE.  As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).

There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP.  There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface.  So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field,
convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which
will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing
mm_struct flags.

No functional change intended.

The field "eip" (instruction pointer) and "esp" (stack pointer) of a task
can be read from /proc/PID/stat. These fields can be interesting for
coredump.

However, these fields were disabled by commit 0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop
reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat"), because it is generally unsafe
to do so. But it is safe for a coredumping process, and therefore
exceptions were made:

  - for a coredumping thread by commit fd7d56270b52 ("fs/proc: Report
    eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping").

  - for all other threads in a coredumping process by commit cb8f381f1613
    ("fs/proc/array.c: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping
    threads").

The above two commits check the PF_DUMPCORE flag to determine a coredump thread
and the PF_EXITING flag for the other threads.

Unfortunately, commit 92307383082d ("coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups
before dumping core") moved coredump to happen earlier and before PF_EXITING is
set. Thus, checking PF_EXITING is no longer the correct way to determine
threads in a coredumping process.

Instead of PF_EXITING, use PF_POSTCOREDUMP to determine the other threads.

Checking of PF_EXITING was added for coredumping, so it probably can now be
removed. But it doesn't hurt to keep.

Fixes: 92307383082d ("coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core")

Patch series "Improve the copy of task comm", v8.

Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the
length of task comm.  Changes in the task comm could result in a
destination string that is overflow.  Therefore, we should explicitly
ensure the destination string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the
task comm.  This approach will facilitate future extensions to the task
comm.

As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the
following git grep command:

  git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>'

PATCH #2~#4:   memcpy
PATCH #5~#6:   kstrdup
PATCH #7:      strcpy

Please note that strncpy() is not included in this series as it is being
tracked by another effort. [1]


This patch (of 7):

We want to eliminate the use of __get_task_comm() for the following
reasons:

- The task_lock() is unnecessary
  Quoted from Linus [0]:
  : Since user space can randomly change their names anyway, using locking
  : was always wrong for readers (for writers it probably does make sense
  : to have some lock - although practically speaking nobody cares there
  : either, but at least for a writer some kind of race could have

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup.  If NR_CPUS threads call
do_task_stat() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, it will
spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.

Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock to gather the statistics
outside of ->siglock protected section, in the likely case this code will
run lockless.

Patch series "fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_".

do_task_stat() has the same problem as getrusage() had before "getrusage:
use sig->stats_lock rather than lock_task_sighand()": a hard lockup.  If
NR_CPUS threads call lock_task_sighand() at the same time and the process
has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS *
NR_THREADS) time.


This patch (of 3):

thread_group_cputime() does its own locking, we can safely shift
thread_group_cputime_adjusted() which does another for_each_thread loop
outside of ->siglock protected section.

Not only this removes for_each_thread() from the critical section with
irqs disabled, this removes another case when stats_lock is taken with
siglock held.  We want to remove this dependency, then we can change the
users of stats_lock to not disable irqs.

do/while_each_thread should be avoided when possible.
