commit b5325b2a270fcaf7b2a9a0f23d422ca8a5a8bdea upstream.
Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd into the
usermode helper process. This makes coredump handling a lot more
reliable for userspace. In parallel with this commit we already have
systemd adding support for this in [1].
We create a pidfs file for the coredumping process when we process the
corename pattern. When the usermode helper process is forked we then
install the pidfs file as file descriptor three into the usermode
helpers file descriptor table so it's available to the exec'd program.
Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is empty
and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number.
Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even if a
subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage hasn't
been removed due to delay_group_leader() and even if this @current isn't
the actual thread-group leader we know that the thread-group leader
cannot be reaped until @current has exited.

commit 95c5f43181fe9c1b5e5a4bd3281c857a5259991f upstream.
The replace_fd() helper returns the file descriptor number on success
and a negative error code on failure. The current error handling in
umh_pipe_setup() only works because the file descriptor that is replaced
is zero but that's pretty volatile. Explicitly check for a negative
error code.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.

Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl

Dumping processes with large allocated and mostly not-faulted areas is
very slow.
Borrowing a test case from Tavian Barnes:
int main(void) {
char *mem = mmap(NULL, 1ULL << 40, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
printf("%p %m\n", mem);
if (mem != MAP_FAILED) {
mem[0] = 1;
}
abort();
}
That's 1TB of almost completely not-populated area.
On my test box it takes 13-14 seconds to dump.
The profile shows:
- 99.89% 0.00% a.out
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
do_syscall_64
syscall_exit_to_user_mode
arch_do_signal_or_restart
- get_signal
- 99.89% do_coredump
- 99.88% elf_core_dump
- dump_user_range
- 98.12% get_dump_page
- 64.19% __get_user_pages
- 40.92% gup_vma_lookup
- find_vma
- mt_find
4.21% __rcu_read_lock
1.33% __rcu_read_unlock
- 3.14% check_vma_flags
0.68% vma_is_secretmem
0.61% __cond_resched
0.60% vma_pgtable_walk_end
0.59% vma_pgtable_walk_begin
0.58% no_page_table
- 15.13% down_read_killable
0.69% __cond_resched
13.84% up_read
0.58% __cond_resched
Almost 29% of the time is spent relocking the mmap semaphore between
calls to get_dump_page() which find nothing.
Whacking that results in times of 10 seconds (down from 13-14).
While here make the thing killable.
The real problem is the page-sized iteration and the real fix would
patch it up instead. It is left as an exercise for the mm-familiar
reader.

proc_dointvec converts a string to a vector of signed int, which is
stored in the unsigned int .data core_pipe_limit.
It was thus authorized to write a negative value to core_pipe_limit
sysctl which once stored in core_pipe_limit, leads to the signed int
dump_count check against core_pipe_limit never be true. The same can be
achieved with core_pipe_limit set to INT_MAX.
Any negative write or >= to INT_MAX in core_pipe_limit sysctl would
hypothetically allow a user to create very high load on the system by
running processes that produces a coredump in case the core_pattern
sysctl is configured to pipe core files to user space helper.
Memory or PID exhaustion should happen before but it anyway breaks the
core_pipe_limit semantic.
This commit fixes this by changing core_pipe_limit sysctl's proc_handler
to proc_dointvec_minmax and bound checking between SYSCTL_ZERO and
SYSCTL_INT_MAX.

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:

This reverts commit fb97d2eb542faf19a8725afbd75cbc2518903210.
The logging was questionable to begin with, but it seems to actively
deadlock on the task lock.
"On second thought, let's not log core dump failures. 'Tis a silly place"
because if you can't tell your core dump is truncated, maybe you should
just fix your debugger instead of adding bugs to the kernel.

Large cores may be truncated in some scenarios, such as with daemons
with stop timeouts that are not large enough or lack of disk space. This
impacts debuggability with large core dumps since critical information
necessary to form a usable backtrace, such as stacks and shared library
information, are omitted.
We attempted to figure out which VMAs are needed to create a useful
backtrace, and it turned out to be a non-trivial problem. Instead, we
try simply sorting the VMAs by size, which has the intended effect.
By sorting VMAs by dump size and dumping in that order, we have a
simple, yet effective heuristic.

Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash
investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently
the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing
a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file
written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user
mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents.
There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or
produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note.
Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason
what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing.
Report the size of the data written to aid in diagnosing the user mode
helper.

The coredump code does not log the process ID and the comm
consistently, logs unescaped comm when it does log it, and
does not always use the ratelimited logging. That makes it
harder to analyze logs and puts the system at the risk of
spamming the system log incase something crashes many times
over and over again.
Fix that by logging TGID and comm (escaped) consistently and
using the ratelimited logging always.

After commit 0258b5fd7c71 ("coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread

zap_threads() can pass "signal_struct *signal" instead.
This simplifies the code and allows to use __for_each_thread() which
is slightly more efficient.

This removes the signal/coredump hacks added for vhost_tasks in:
Commit f9010dbdce91 ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression")
When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close
function was called. In the previous patches vhost_tasks and the vhost
drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and
exiting. The hacks are no longer needed so this removes them.

Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the maximum file
note size for ELF core dumps via sysctl.
Why is this being done?
We have observed that during a crash when there are more than 65k mmaps
in memory, the existing fixed limit on the size of the ELF notes section
becomes a bottleneck. The notes section quickly reaches its capacity,
leading to incomplete memory segment information in the resulting coredump.
This truncation compromises the utility of the coredumps, as crucial
information about the memory state at the time of the crash might be
omitted.
This enhancement removes the previous static limit of 4MB, allowing
system administrators to adjust the size based on system-specific
requirements or constraints.
Eg:
$ sysctl -a | grep core_file_note_size_limit
kernel.core_file_note_size_limit = 4194304
$ sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit
4194304
$echo 519304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit
$sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit
519304
Attempting to write beyond the ceiling value of 16MB
$echo 17194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This flag is only set by one single user: the magical core dumping code
that looks up user pages one by one, and then writes them out using
their kernel addresses (by using a BVEC_ITER).
That actually ends up being a huge problem, because while we do use
copy_mc_to_kernel() for this case and it is able to handle the possible
machine checks involved, nothing else is really ready to handle the
failures caused by the machine check.
In particular, as reported by Tong Tiangen, we don't actually support
fault_in_iov_iter_readable() on a machine check area.
As a result, the usual logic for writing things to a file under a
filesystem lock, which involves doing a copy with page faults disabled
and then if that fails trying to fault pages in without holding the
locks with fault_in_iov_iter_readable() does not work at all.
We could decide to always just make the MC copy "succeed" (and filling
the destination with zeroes), and that would then create a core dump
file that just ignores any machine checks.
But honestly, this single special case has been problematic before, and
means that all the normal iov_iter code ends up slightly more complex
and slower.
See for example commit c9eec08bac96 ("iov_iter: Don't deal with
iter->copy_mc in memcpy_from_iter_mc()") where David Howells
re-organized the code just to avoid having to check the 'copy_mc' flags
inside the inner iov_iter loops.
So considering that we have exactly one user, and that one user is a
non-critical special case that doesn't actually ever trigger in real
life (Tong found this with manual error injection), the sane solution is
to just decide that the onus on handling the machine check lines on that
user instead.
Ergo, do the copy_mc_to_kernel() in the core dump logic itself, copying
the user data to a stable kernel page before writing it out.

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs
Features:
- Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by
unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are
already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd
- Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing
scenarios
- Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's
fdinfo procfs file
- Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi
defines
- Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to
read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for
transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to
read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform
internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is
completed
Cleanups:
- Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo()
prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a
report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was
bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive
- Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names()
- Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name
reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before
the actual put
- Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside
of block device aops
- Stop allocating aio rings from highmem
- Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded
barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers
and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved
when transitioning between read-{only,write} states
- Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths
Fixes:
- Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd
- Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value
isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call
- Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c
- Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting
rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088
bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
royally annoying compilation warning
- Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not
fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation
warnings
- Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long
explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we
found out with the help of Linus and git archeology
- Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths
- Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed
addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests
- Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv
- Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding
compilation warnings with gcc 13
- Fix a dangling pipe pointer in the watch queue codepath
- The legacy mount option parser provided as a fallback by the VFS
for filesystems not yet converted to the new mount api did prefix
the generated mount option string with a leading ',' causing issues
for some filesystems
- Fix a repeated word in a comment in fs.h
- autofs: Update the ctime when mtime is updated as mandated by
POSIX"

When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.
To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.
This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.
Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.
Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.
The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit. This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.
For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.
Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.
Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.

The motivation for this patch has been to enable using a stricter
apparmor profile to prevent programs from reading any coredump in the
system.
However, this became something else. The following details are based on
Christian's and Linus' archeology into the history of the number "2" in
the coredump handling code.
To make sure we're not accidently introducing some subtle behavioral
change into the coredump code we set out on a voyage into the depths of
history.git to figure out why this was O_RDWR in the first place.
Coredump handling was introduced over 30 years ago in commit
ddc733f452e0 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.97 (August 1, 1992)").
The original code used O_WRONLY:
open_namei("core",O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC,0600,&inode,NULL)
However, this changed in 1993 and starting with commit
9cb9f18b5d26 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.99.10 (June 7, 1993)") the coredump code
suddenly used the constant "2":
open_namei("core",O_CREAT | 2 | O_TRUNC,0600,&inode,NULL)
This was curious as in the same commit the kernel switched from
constants to proper defines in other places such as KERNEL_DS and
USER_DS and O_RDWR did already exist.
So why was "2" used? It turns out that open_namei() - an early version
of what later turned into filp_open() - didn't accept O_RDWR.
A semantic quirk of the open() uapi is the definition of the O_RDONLY
flag. It would seem natural to define:
#define O_RDWR (O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY)
but that isn't possible because:
#define O_RDONLY 0
This makes O_RDONLY effectively meaningless when passed to the kernel.
In other words, there has never been a way - until O_PATH at least - to
open a file without any permission; O_RDONLY was always implied on the
uapi side while the kernel does in fact allow opening files without
permissions.
The trouble comes when trying to map the uapi flags onto the
corresponding file mode flags FMODE_{READ,WRITE}. This mapping still
happens today and is causing issues to this day (We ran into this
during additions for openat2() for example.).
So the special value "3" was used to indicate that the file was opened
for special access:
f->f_flags = flag = flags;
f->f_mode = (flag+1) & O_ACCMODE;
if (f->f_mode)
flag++;
This allowed the file mode to be set to FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE mapping
the O_{RDONLY,WRONLY,RDWR} flags into the FMODE_{READ,WRITE} flags. The
special access then required read-write permissions and 0 was used to
access symlinks.
But back when ddc733f452e0 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.97 (August 1, 1992)") added
coredump handling open_namei() took the FMODE_{READ,WRITE} flags as an
argument. So the coredump handling introduced in
ddc733f452e0 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.97 (August 1, 1992)") was buggy because
O_WRONLY shouldn't have been passed. Since O_WRONLY is 1 but
open_namei() took FMODE_{READ,WRITE} it was passed FMODE_READ on
accident.
So 9cb9f18b5d26 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.99.10 (June 7, 1993)") was a bugfix
for this and the 2 didn't really mean O_RDWR, it meant FMODE_WRITE which
was correct.
The clue is that FMODE_{READ,WRITE} didn't exist yet and thus a raw "2"
value was passed.
Fast forward 5 years when around 2.2.4pre4 (February 16, 1999) this code
was changed to:
- dentry = open_namei(corefile,O_CREAT | 2 | O_TRUNC | O_NOFOLLOW, 0600);
...
+ file = filp_open(corefile,O_CREAT | 2 | O_TRUNC | O_NOFOLLOW, 0600);
At this point the raw "2" should have become O_WRONLY again as
filp_open() didn't take FMODE_{READ,WRITE} but O_{RDONLY,WRONLY,RDWR}.
Another 17 years later, the code was changed again cementing the mistake
and making it almost impossible to detect when commit
378c6520e7d2 ("fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories")
replaced the raw "2" with O_RDWR.
And now, here we are with this patch that sent us on a quest to answer
the big questions in life such as "Why are coredump files opened with
O_RDWR?" and "Is it safe to just use O_WRONLY?".
So with this commit we're reintroducing O_WRONLY again and bringing this
code back to its original state when it was first introduced in commit
ddc733f452e0 ("[PATCH] Linux-0.97 (August 1, 1992)") over 30 years ago.

dump_user_range() is used to copy the user page to a coredump file, but if

Generally, the '->write_iter' of file ops will use copy_page_from_iter()
and copy_page_from_iter_atomic(), change memcpy() to copy_mc_to_kernel()
in both of them to handle #MC during source read, which stop coredump
processing and kill the task instead of kernel panic, but the source
address may not always a user address, so introduce a new copy_mc flag in
struct iov_iter{} to indicate that the iter could do a safe memory copy,
also introduce the helpers to set/cleck the flag, for now, it's only used
in coredump's dump_user_range(), but it could expand to any other
scenarios to fix the similar issue.
