workqueue: Make flush_workqueue() available again to non GPL modules

2015-09-29T17:33:32+00:00

commit 1dadafa86a779884f14a6e7a3ddde1a57b0a0a65 upstream. Commit 37b1ef31a568fc02e53587620226e5f3c66454c8 ("workqueue: move flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper. Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function. This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules. See commit ad7b1f841f8a54c6d61ff181451f55b68175e15a ("workqueue: Make schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.

unshare: Unsharing a thread does not require unsharing a vm

2015-09-29T17:33:16+00:00

commit 12c641ab8270f787dfcce08b5f20ce8b65008096 upstream. In the logic in the initial commit of unshare made creating a new thread group for a process, contingent upon creating a new memory address space for that process. That is wrong. Two separate processes in different thread groups can share a memory address space and clone allows creation of such proceses. This is significant because it was observed that mm_users > 1 does not mean that a process is multi-threaded, as reading /proc/PID/maps temporarily increments mm_users, which allows other processes to (accidentally) interfere with unshare() calls. Correct the check in check_unshare_flags() to test for !thread_group_empty() for CLONE_THREAD, CLONE_SIGHAND, and CLONE_VM. For sighand->count > 1 for CLONE_SIGHAND and CLONE_VM. For !current_is_single_threaded instead of mm_users > 1 for CLONE_VM. By using the correct checks in unshare this removes the possibility of an accidental denial of service attack. Additionally using the correct checks in unshare ensures that only an explicit unshare(CLONE_VM) can possibly trigger the slow path of current_is_single_threaded(). As an explict unshare(CLONE_VM) is pointless it is not expected there are many applications that make that call.

fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping

2015-09-21T17:10:59+00:00

commit a068acf2ee77693e0bf39d6e07139ba704f461c3 upstream. Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g. new lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files. This could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what else. This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or in other situations with delegated mount privileges. Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink). Imagine the use of "sudo" is something more sneaky: $ BASE="ovl" $ MNT="$BASE/mnt" $ LOW="$BASE/lower" $ UP="$BASE/upper" $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0 none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000" $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK" $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt $ cat /proc/mounts none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0 none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0 $ fusermount -u /proc $ cat /proc/mounts cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option handlers to use them as needed. Some, like SELinux, need to be open coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

sched: Fix cpu_active_mask/cpu_online_mask race

2015-09-21T17:10:45+00:00

commit dd9d3843755da95f63dd3a376f62b3e45c011210 upstream. There is a race condition in SMP bootup code, which may result in WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418 workqueue_cpu_up_callback() or kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135! It can be triggered with a bit of luck in Linux guests running on busy hosts. CPU0 CPUn ==== ==== _cpu_up() __cpu_up() start_secondary() set_cpu_online() cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, to_cpumask(cpu_online_bits)); cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, to_cpumask(cpu_active_bits)); During the various CPU_ONLINE callbacks CPUn is online but not active. Several things can go wrong at that point, depending on the scheduling of tasks on CPU0. Variant 1: cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) workqueue_cpu_up_callback() rebind_workers() set_cpus_allowed_ptr() This call fails because it requires an active CPU; rebind_workers() ends with a warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418 workqueue_cpu_up_callback() Variant 2: cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) smpboot_thread_call() smpboot_unpark_threads() .. __kthread_unpark() __kthread_bind() wake_up_state() .. select_task_rq() select_fallback_rq() The ->wake_cpu of the unparked thread is not allowed, making a call to select_fallback_rq() necessary. Then, select_fallback_rq() cannot find an allowed, active CPU and promptly resets the allowed CPUs, so that the task in question ends up on CPU0. When those unparked tasks are eventually executed, they run immediately into a BUG: kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135! Just changing the order in which the online/active bits are set (and adding some memory barriers), would solve the two issues above. However, it would change the order of operations back to the one before commit 6acbfb96976f ("sched: Fix hotplug vs. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()"), thus, reintroducing that particular problem. Going further back into history, we have at least the following commits touching this topic: - commit 2baab4e90495 ("sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online") - commit 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness") Together, these give us the following non-working solutions: - secondary CPU sets active before online, because active is assumed to be a subset of online; - secondary CPU sets online before active, because the primary CPU assumes that an online CPU is also active; - secondary CPU sets online and waits for primary CPU to set active, because it might deadlock. Commit 875ebe940d77 ("powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are active & online") introduces an arch-specific solution to this arch-independent problem. Now, go for a more general solution without explicit waiting and simply set active twice: once on the secondary CPU after online was set and once on the primary CPU after online was seen. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()") Signed-off-by: Jan H.

genirq: Introduce irq_chip_set_type_parent() helper

2015-08-19T22:25:25+00:00

This helper is required for irq chips which do not implement a irq_set_type callback and need to call down the irq domain hierarchy for the actual trigger type change. This helper is required to fix further wreckage caused by the conversion of TI OMAP to hierarchical irq domains and therefor tagged for stable.

genirq: Don't return ENOSYS in irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy

2015-08-19T22:25:25+00:00

irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() returns -ENOSYS if it was not able to find at least one .irq_retrigger() callback implemented in the IRQ domain hierarchy. That's wrong, because check_irq_resend() expects a 0 return value from the callback in case that the hardware assisted resend was not possible. If the return value is non zero the core code assumes hardware resend success and the software resend is not invoked. This results in lost interrupts on platforms where none of the parent irq chips in the hierarchy implements the retrigger callback. This is observable on TI OMAP, where the hierarchy is: ARM GIC <- OMAP wakeupgen <- TI Crossbar Return 0 instead so the software resend mechanism gets invoked.
