* elf_fdpic_transfer_args_to_stack(): make it genericNicolas Pitre2016-07-251-36/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This copying of arguments and environment is common to both NOMMU binary formats we support. Let's make the elf_fdpic version available to the flat format as well. While at it, improve the code a bit not to copy below the actual data area.

* coredump: fix dumping through pipesMateusz Guzik2016-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The offset in the core file used to be tracked with ->written field of the coredump_params structure. The field was retired in favour of file->f_pos. However, ->f_pos is not maintained for pipes which leads to breakage. Restore explicit tracking of the offset in coredump_params. Introduce ->pos field for this purpose since ->written was already reused. Fixes: a00839395103 ("get rid of coredump_params->written").

* | mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov2016-04-041-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

| * | fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: provide NOMMU loader for regular ELF binariesRich Felker2015-11-091-8/+38
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs. However, the FDPIC ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement. This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on NOMMU archs. They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction. Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack requirements in theit program headers. Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed virtual address is not possible on NOMMU. This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF binary support, but I have not yet tested this. The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial. I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | On NOMMU archs, the FDPIC ELF loader sets up the usable brk range to overlap with all but the last PAGE_SIZE bytes of the stack.

Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

* | VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper functionLinus Torvalds2012-04-201-14/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header. ELF header is positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the end. So, we need to take which of the following ways: 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header after writing process for a whole part 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process totally sequential The clause 1. is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system supports seek function. Consider the no_llseek case. Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.

In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often demands more than 65535 mmaps. If you google max_map_count, then you can find many users facing this problem. Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also adopted the same method as in Solaris. Currently, Sun's document and AMD 64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the extension Extended Numbering. See Reference for further information. I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've written this patch. I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils. How to fix ========== In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535. - if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same as the ordinary one. - if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0. Compatibility Concern ===================== * As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted this. See Reference. * There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland tools are respectively modified or not. The next table summarizes shortly for each combination. --------------------------------------------- Original Kernel | Modified Kernel --------------------------------------------- < 65535 | >= 65535 | < 65535 | >= 65535 ------------------------------------------------------------- Original Tools | OK | broken | OK | broken (#) ------------------------------------------------------------- Modified Tools | OK | broken | OK | OK ------------------------------------------------------------- Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'. (#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the actual correct value than the O-O case. Test Program ============ Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following steps: $ ulimit -c unlimited $ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small $ sysctl fs.file-max=70000 $ mkmmaps 65535 Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated. If failed, there are two cases according to the error message displayed. * ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller * ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it. mkmmaps.c == #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int maps_num; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "mkmmaps [number of maps to be created]\n"); exit(1); } if (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &maps_num) == EOF) { perror("sscanf"); exit(2); } if (maps_num < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%d is invalid\n", maps_num); exit(3); } for (; maps_num > 0; --maps_num) { if (MAP_FAILED == mmap((void *)NULL, (size_t) 1, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1, (off_t) NULL)) { perror("mmap"); exit(4); } } abort(); { char buffer[128]; sprintf(buffer, "wc -l /proc/%u/maps", getpid()); system(buffer); } return 0; } Tested on i386, ia64 and um/sys-i386.
