* x86, mpx: On-demand kernel allocation of bounds tablesDave Hansen2014-11-181-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below). Long Description: This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables") and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an explicit signal from userspace. PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to require kernel's help in managing bounds tables. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX. PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in kernel is enabled. Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves, which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time. Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS. ==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ==== MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information. If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers and some new "bounds tables". They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory over to it. The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall) to access the tables would obviously destroy performance. ==== Why not do this in userspace? ==== This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel. However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel. It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are practical in the real-world, but here they are. Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so that we never have to allocate them? A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB, which is larger than the entire virtual address space today. This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories. Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually need bounds tables? A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small, constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls. Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel? A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the allocation state there. Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in the kernel.

| * time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel2014-09-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

A approach is to eliminate CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check but pass all new values in one bundle, which would allow the kernel to make more intensive test for sanity of values and same time allow us to support checkpoint/restore of user namespaces. Thus a new command PR_SET_MM_MAP introduced. It takes a pointer of prctl_mm_map structure which carries all the members to be updated. prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *, size) struct prctl_mm_map { __u64 start_code; __u64 end_code; __u64 start_data; __u64 end_data; __u64 start_brk; __u64 brk; __u64 start_stack; __u64 arg_start; __u64 arg_end; __u64 env_start; __u64 env_end; __u64 *auxv; __u32 auxv_size; __u32 exe_fd; }; All members except @exe_fd correspond ones of struct mm_struct. To figure out which available values these members may take here are meanings of the members. - start_code, end_code: represent bounds of executable code area - start_data, end_data: represent bounds of data area - start_brk, brk: used to calculate bounds for brk() syscall - start_stack: used when accounting space needed for command line arguments, environment and shmat() syscall - arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end: represent memory area supplied for command line arguments and environment variables - auxv, auxv_size: carries auxiliary vector, Elf format specifics - exe_fd: file descriptor number for executable link (/proc/self/exe) Thus we apply the following requirements to the values 1) Any member except @auxv, @auxv_size, @exe_fd is rather an address in user space thus it must be laying inside [mmap_min_addr, mmap_max_addr) interval. 2) While @[start|end]_code and @[start|end]_data may point to an nonexisting VMAs (say a program maps own new .text and .data segments during execution) the rest of members should belong to VMA which must exist. 3) Addresses must be ordered, ie @start_ member must not be greater or equal to appropriate @end_ member. 4) As in regular Elf loading procedure we require that @start_brk and @brk be greater than @end_data. 5) If RLIMIT_DATA rlimit is set to non-infinity new values should not exceed existing limit. Same applies to RLIMIT_STACK. 6) Auxiliary vector size must not exceed existing one (which is predefined as AT_VECTOR_SIZE and depends on architecture). 7) File descriptor passed in @exe_file should be pointing to executable file (because we use existing prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper it ensures that the file we are going to use as exe link has all required permission granted). Now about where these members are involved inside kernel code: - @start_code and @end_code are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output; - @start_data and @end_data are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output, also they are considered if there enough space for brk() syscall result if RLIMIT_DATA is set; - @start_brk shown in /proc/$pid/stat output and accounted in brk() syscall if RLIMIT_DATA is set; also this member is tested to find a symbolic name of mmap event for perf system (we choose if event is generated for "heap" area); one more aplication is selinux -- we test if a process has PROCESS__EXECHEAP permission if trying to make heap area being executable with mprotect() syscall; - @brk is a current value for brk() syscall which lays inside heap area, it's shown in /proc/$pid/stat. When syscall brk() succesfully provides new memory area to a user space upon brk() completion the mm::brk is updated to carry new value; Both @start_brk and @brk are actively used in /proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output to find a symbolic name "heap" for VMA being scanned; - @start_stack is printed out in /proc/$pid/stat and used to find a symbolic name "stack" for task and threads in /proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output, and as the same as with @start_brk -- perf system uses it for event naming. Also kernel treat this member as a start address of where to map vDSO pages and to check if there is enough space for shmat() syscall; - @arg_start, @arg_end, @env_start and @env_end are printed out in /proc/$pid/stat. Another access to the data these members represent is to read /proc/$pid/environ or /proc/$pid/cmdline. Any attempt to read these areas kernel tests with access_process_vm helper so a user must have enough rights for this action; - @auxv and @auxv_size may be read from /proc/$pid/auxv. Strictly speaking kernel doesn't care much about which exactly data is sitting there because it is solely for userspace; - @exe_fd is referred from /proc/$pid/exe and when generating coredump. We uses prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper to update this member, so exe-file link modification remains one-shot action. Still note that updating exe-file link now doesn't require sys-resource capability anymore, after all there is no much profit in preventing setup own file link (there are a number of ways to execute own code -- ptrace, ld-preload, so that the only reliable way to find which exactly code is executed is to inspect running program memory). Still we require the caller to be at least user-namespace root user. I believe the old interface should be deprecated and ripped off in a couple of kernel releases if no one against. To test if new interface is implemented in the kernel one can pass PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE opcode and the kernel returns the size of currently supported struct prctl_mm_map.

* reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpuRobin Holt2013-06-131-3/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter.

This functionality is needed by any application or package that needs to reconstruct Linux processes, that is, to start them in any way other than by means of an "execve()" from an executable file. This includes: 1. Restoring processes from a checkpoint-file (by all potential user-level checkpointing packages, not only CRIU's). 2. Restarting processes on another node after process migration. 3. Starting duplicated copies of a running process (for reliability and high-availablity). 4. Starting a process from an executable format that is not supported by Linux, thus requiring a "manual execve" by a user-level utility. 5. Similarly, starting a process from a networked and/or crypted executable that, for confidentiality, licensing or other reasons, may not be written to the local file-systems. The code that does that was already included in the Linux kernel by the CRIU group, in the form of "prctl(PR_SET_MM)", but prior to this was enclosed within their private "#ifdef CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE", which is normally disabled. The patch removes those ifdefs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d (kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()), syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to avoid reboot failure, this is the same way as poweroff does. For consistency, add disable_nonboot_cpus() to kernel_halt(). Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
* | poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()Oleg Nesterov2013-03-231-25/+32
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | David said: Commit 6c0c0d4d1080 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()") apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces another. The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example. But since that commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option. orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC is sleepable. Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and change orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which simply calls __orderly_poweroff(). While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split() to use GFP_KERNEL. We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this can obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running. So we only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the pending "true" should succeed anyway. If schedule_work() fails after that we know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the new value. This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not run the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail if the work is already pending. We can export __orderly_poweroff() and change the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.

As Lucas pointed out, this can be wrong if -ENOMEM was not triggered by the failing call_usermodehelper_setup(), in this case both __orderly_poweroff() and argv_cleanup() can do kfree(). Kill argv_cleanup() and change __orderly_poweroff() to call argv_free() unconditionally like do_coredump() does. This info->cleanup() is not needed (and wrong) since 6c0c0d4d "fix bug in orderly_poweroff() which did the UMH_NO_WAIT => UMH_WAIT_EXEC change, we can rely on the fact that CLONE_VFORK can't return until do_execve() succeeds/fails.

The filesystems converted for 3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes. XFS is the only filesystem that remains.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps: step 1: Call user space application to poweroff step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param is set. The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey the design goal of orderly_poweroff. We have two choices here: UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process; UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete. we need to trade off the two choices: If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E. Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely) reason fail. If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W. Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for us when we are waiting for the user space caller. Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it seems a better choice here.

* prctl: remove redunant assignment of "error" to zeroSasikantha babu2012-07-311-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just setting the "error" to error number is enough on failure and It doesn't require to set "error" variable to zero in each switch case, since it was already initialized with zero. And also removed return 0 in switch case with break statement Signed-off-by: Sasikantha babu <sasikanth.v19@gmail.com> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Serge E.

* c/r: prctl: less paranoid prctl_set_mm_exe_file()Konstantin Khlebnikov2012-07-121-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "no other files mapped" requirement from my previous patch (c/r: prctl: update prctl_set_mm_exe_file() after mm->num_exe_file_vmas removal) is too paranoid, it forbids operation even if there mapped one shared-anon vma. Let's check that current mm->exe_file already unmapped, in this case exe_file symlink already outdated and its changing is reasonable. Plus, this patch fixes exit code in case operation success.

* c/r: prctl: drop VMA flags test on PR_SET_MM_ stack data assignmentCyrill Gorcunov2012-06-071-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") the stack allocated via clone() is marked in /proc/<pid>/maps as [stack:%d] thus it might be out of the former mm->start_stack/end_stack values (and even has some custom VMA flags set). So to be able to restore mm->start_stack/end_stack drop vma flags test, but still require the underlying VMA to exist. As always note this feature is under CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to be granted.

* c/r: prctl: add ability to get clear_tid_addressCyrill Gorcunov2012-06-071-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Zero is written at clear_tid_address when the process exits. This functionality is used by pthread_join(). We already have sys_set_tid_address() to change this address for the current task but there is no way to obtain it from user space. Without the ability to find this address and dump it we can't restore pthread'ed apps which call pthread_join() once they have been restored. This patch introduces the PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS prctl option which allows the current process to obtain own clear_tid_address. This feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
