2022-06-14tracing: Avoid adding tracer option before update_tracer_optionsMark-PK Tsai1-0/+7
[ Upstream commit ef9188bcc6ca1d8a2ad83e826b548e6820721061 ] To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall, avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options. Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts. For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall, and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry, hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts. Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer registered, create_trace_option_files find that hwlat_tracer is already in tr->topts.

2022-06-14tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernelJun Miao1-3/+3
[ Upstream commit 12025abdc8539ed9d5014e2d647a3fd1bd3de5cd ] When setting bootparams="trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" in the cmdline, the output_printk() was called, and the spin_lock_irqsave() was called in the atomic and irq disable interrupt context suitation. On the PREEMPT_RT kernel, these locks are replaced with sleepable rt-spinlock, so the stack calltrace will be triggered. Fix it by raw_spin_lock_irqsave when PREEMPT_RT and "trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" enabled.

2022-06-14ptrace: Reimplement PTRACE_KILL by always sending SIGKILLEric W. Biederman1-3/+2
commit 6a2d90ba027adba528509ffa27097cffd3879257 upstream. The current implementation of PTRACE_KILL is buggy and has been for many years as it assumes it's target has stopped in ptrace_stop. At a quick skim it looks like this assumption has existed since ptrace support was added in linux v1.0. While PTRACE_KILL has been deprecated we can not remove it as a quick search with google code search reveals many existing programs calling it. When the ptracee is not stopped at ptrace_stop some fields would be set that are ignored except in ptrace_stop. Making the userspace visible behavior of PTRACE_KILL a noop in those case. As the usual rules are not obeyed it is not clear what the consequences are of calling PTRACE_KILL on a running process. Presumably userspace does not do this as it achieves nothing. Replace the implementation of PTRACE_KILL with a simple send_sig_info(SIGKILL) followed by a return 0. This changes the observable user space behavior only in that PTRACE_KILL on a process not stopped in ptrace_stop will also kill it. As that has always been the intent of the code this seems like a reasonable change.

2022-05-25perf: Fix sys_perf_event_open() race against selfPeter Zijlstra1-0/+14
commit 3ac6487e584a1eb54071dbe1212e05b884136704 upstream. Norbert reported that it's possible to race sys_perf_event_open() such that the looser ends up in another context from the group leader, triggering many WARNs. The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the !move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous group_leader->ctx == ctx check. However, that check is racy due to not holding any locks at that time. Therefore, re-check the result after acquiring locks and bailing if they no longer match. Additionally, clarify the not_move_group case from the move_group-vs-move_group race.

2022-05-18cgroup/cpuset: Remove cpus_allowed/mems_allowed setup in cpuset_init_smp()Waiman Long1-2/+5
commit 2685027fca387b602ae565bff17895188b803988 upstream. There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can be initialized in the order they are executed: 1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init() 2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind() 3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp() The first cpuset_init() call just sets all the bits in the masks. The second cpuset_bind() call sets cpus_allowed and mems_allowed to the default v2 values. The third cpuset_init_smp() call sets them back to v1 values. For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once. As a result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a cgroup v2 environment. For systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called again by rebind_subsystem() when the v1 cpuset filesystem is mounted as shown in the dmesg log below with an instrumented kernel. [ 2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1 [ 3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called [ 7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0 smp_init() is called after the first two init functions. So we don't have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus and effective_mems. To fix this cgroup v2 mask setup problem, the potentially incorrect cpus_allowed & mems_allowed setting in cpuset_init_smp() are removed. For cgroup v2 systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set the masks correctly. For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind() will do the right setup. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Tested-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit ce33c845b030c9cf768370c951bc699470b09fa7 upstream. The stacktrace event trigger is not dumping the stacktrace to the instance where it was enabled, but to the global "instance."

2022-04-20smp: Fix offline cpu check in flush_smp_call_function_queue()Nadav Amit1-1/+1
commit 9e949a3886356fe9112c6f6f34a6e23d1d35407f upstream. The check in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for callbacks that are sent to offline CPUs currently checks whether the queue is empty. However, flush_smp_call_function_queue() has just deleted all the callbacks from the queue and moved all the entries into a local list. This checks would only be positive if some callbacks were added in the short time after llist_del_all() was called. This does not seem to be the intention of this check. Change the check to look at the local list to which the entries were moved instead of the queue from which all the callbacks were just removed.

2022-04-20cgroup: Use open-time cgroup namespace for process migration perm checksTejun Heo2-7/+19
commit e57457641613fef0d147ede8bd6a3047df588b95 upstream. cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of the write - the PID. This currently uses current's cgroup namespace which is a potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that it created. This patch makes cgroup remember the cgroup namespace at the time of open and uses it for migration permission checks instad of current's. Note that this only applies to cgroup2 as cgroup1 doesn't have namespace support. This also fixes a use-after-free bug on cgroupns reported in https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000048c15c05d0083397@google.com Note that backporting this fix also requires the preceding patch.

2022-04-20cgroup: Allocate cgroup_file_ctx for kernfs_open_file->privTejun Heo3-28/+57
commit 0d2b5955b36250a9428c832664f2079cbf723bec upstream. of->priv is currently used by each interface file implementation to store private information. This patch collects the current two private data usages into struct cgroup_file_ctx which is allocated and freed by the common path. This allows generic private data which applies to multiple files, which will be used to in the following patch. Note that cgroup_procs iterator is now embedded as procs.iter in the new cgroup_file_ctx so that it doesn't need to be allocated and freed separately. v2: union dropped from cgroup_file_ctx and the procs iterator is embedded in cgroup_file_ctx as suggested by Linus. v3: Michal pointed out that cgroup1's procs pidlist uses of->priv too. Converted. Didn't change to embedded allocation as cgroup1 pidlists get stored for caching.

commit ee1fee900537b5d9560e9f937402de5ddc8412f3 upstream. Setting PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP is supposed to be a highly privileged operation because it allows the tracee to completely bypass all seccomp filters on kernels with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y. It is only supposed to be settable by a process with global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and only if that process is not subject to any seccomp filters at all. However, while these permission checks were done on the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS path, they were missing on the PTRACE_SEIZE path, which also sets user-specified ptrace flags. Move the permissions checks out into a helper function and let both ptrace_attach() and ptrace_setoptions() call it.

[ Upstream commit 3203ce39ac0b2a57a84382ec184c7d4a0bede175 ] The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter and keep it from being set. This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as: Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option") or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param) Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that exists do not process the parameter.

2022-02-23taskstats: Cleanup the use of task->exit_codeEric W. Biederman1-4/+3
commit 1b5a42d9c85f0e731f01c8d1129001fd8531a8a0 upstream. In the function bacct_add_task the code reading task->exit_code was introduced in commit f3cef7a99469 ("[PATCH] csa: basic accounting over taskstats"), and it is not entirely clear what the taskstats interface is trying to return as only returning the exit_code of the first task in a process doesn't make a lot of sense. As best as I can figure the intent is to return task->exit_code after a task exits. The field is returned with per task fields, so the exit_code of the entire process is not wanted. Only the value of the first task is returned so this is not a useful way to get the per task ptrace stop code. The ordinary case of returning this value is returning after a task exits, which also precludes use for getting a ptrace value. It is common to for the first task of a process to also be the last task of a process so this field may have done something reasonable by accident in testing. Make ac_exitcode a reliable per task value by always returning it for every exited task. Setting ac_exitcode in a sensible mannter makes it possible to continue to provide this value going forward.

2022-02-23Revert "module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is ↵Igor Pylypiv2-23/+5
used" [ Upstream commit 67d6212afda218d564890d1674bab28e8612170f ] This reverts commit 774a1221e862b343388347bac9b318767336b20b. We need to finish all async code before the module init sequence is done. In the reverted commit the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was added to mark a thread that called async_schedule(). Then the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was used to determine whether or not async_synchronize_full() needs to be invoked. This works when modprobe thread is calling async_schedule(), but it does not work if module dispatches init code to a worker thread which then calls async_schedule(). For example, PCI driver probing is invoked from a worker thread based on a node where device is attached: if (cpu < nr_cpu_ids) error = work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, &ddi); else error = local_pci_probe(&ddi); We end up in a situation where a worker thread gets the PF_USED_ASYNC flag set instead of the modprobe thread. As a result, async_synchronize_full() is not invoked and modprobe completes without waiting for the async code to finish. The issue was discovered while loading the pm80xx driver: (scsi_mod.scan=async) modprobe pm80xx worker ... do_init_module() ... pci_call_probe() work_on_cpu(local_pci_probe) local_pci_probe() pm8001_pci_probe() scsi_scan_host() async_schedule() worker->flags |= PF_USED_ASYNC; ... < return from worker > ... if (current->flags & PF_USED_ASYNC) <--- false async_synchronize_full(); Commit 21c3c5d28007 ("block: don't request module during elevator init") fixed the deadlock issue which the reverted commit 774a1221e862 ("module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used") tried to fix. Since commit 0fdff3ec6d87 ("async, kmod: warn on synchronous request_module() from async workers") synchronous module loading from async is not allowed. Given that the original deadlock issue is fixed and it is no longer allowed to call synchronous request_module() from async we can remove PF_USED_ASYNC flag to make module init consistently invoke async_synchronize_full() unless async module probe is requested.

2022-02-16bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by defaultDaniel Borkmann2-5/+27
commit 08389d888287c3823f80b0216766b71e17f0aba5 upstream. Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default. If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2. This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly, this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot. We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2. Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF that we added a while ago.

2022-02-08audit: improve audit queue handling when "audit=1" on cmdlinePaul Moore1-19/+43
commit f26d04331360d42dbd6b58448bd98e4edbfbe1c5 upstream. When an admin enables audit at early boot via the "audit=1" kernel command line the audit queue behavior is slightly different; the audit subsystem goes to greater lengths to avoid dropping records, which unfortunately can result in problems when the audit daemon is forcibly stopped for an extended period of time. This patch makes a number of changes designed to improve the audit queuing behavior so that leaving the audit daemon in a stopped state for an extended period does not cause a significant impact to the system. - kauditd_send_queue() is now limited to looping through the passed queue only once per call. This not only prevents the function from looping indefinitely when records are returned to the current queue, it also allows any recovery handling in kauditd_thread() to take place when kauditd_send_queue() returns. - Transient netlink send errors seen as -EAGAIN now cause the record to be returned to the retry queue instead of going to the hold queue. The intention of the hold queue is to store, perhaps for an extended period of time, the events which led up to the audit daemon going offline. The retry queue remains a temporary queue intended to protect against transient issues between the kernel and the audit daemon. - The retry queue is now limited by the audit_backlog_limit setting, the same as the other queues. This allows admins to bound the size of all of the audit queues on the system. - kauditd_rehold_skb() now returns records to the end of the hold queue to ensure ordering is preserved in the face of recent changes to kauditd_send_queue().

Additionally, I also had BPF hardening enabled which requires once more rewrites of all constant values in order to blind them. Each time we rewrite insns, bpf_adj_branches() would need to potentially adjust branch targets which cross the patchlet boundary to accommodate for the additional delta. Eventually that lead to the case where the target offset could not fit into insn->off's upper 0x7fff limit anymore where then offset wraps around becoming negative (in s16 universe), or vice versa depending on the jump direction. Therefore it becomes necessary to detect and reject any such occasions in a generic way for native eBPF and cBPF to eBPF migrations. For the latter we can simply check bounds in the bpf_convert_filter()'s BPF_EMIT_JMP helper macro and bail out once we surpass limits. The bpf_patch_insn_single() for native eBPF (and cBPF to eBPF in case of subsequent hardening) is a bit more complex in that we need to detect such truncations before hitting the bpf_prog_realloc(). Thus the latter is split into an extra pass to probe problematic offsets on the original program in order to fail early. With that in place and carefully tested I no longer hit the panic and the rewrites are rejected properly. The above example panic I've seen on bpf-next, though the issue itself is generic in that a guard against this issue in bpf seems more appropriate in this case.

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer. Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

2021-12-22timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positiveYu Liao1-2/+1
commit 4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266 upstream. Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive by running the following code: int main(void) { struct timespec time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time); time.tv_nsec = 0; clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time); return 0; } The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta, may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong result: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 } That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta, but actually the result should be wall_t
