* tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adjKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2012-01-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set. This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds 3 trace points. - creating new task - renaming a task (exec) - set oom_score_adj To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/ # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/ # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable output will be like this. # grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-7699 [007] d..3 5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [007] ...1 5151.818022: task_newtask: pid=7729 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 ls-7729 [003] ...2 5151.818504: task_rename: pid=7729 oldcomm=bash newcomm=ls oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [002] ...1 5175.701468: task_newtask: pid=7730 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 grep-7730 [007] ...2 5175.701993: task_rename: pid=7730 oldcomm=bash newcomm=grep oom_score_adj=-1000 Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* oom: remove oom_disable_countDavid Rientjes2011-10-311-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and currently buggy. The counter was intended to be per-process but it's currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing it to underflow. The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to future memory freeing. The counter could be fixed to represent all threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since: - it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause future memory freeing, and - there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

* move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()Vasiliy Kulikov2011-08-111-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

* exec: do not call request_module() twice from search_binary_handler()Tetsuo Handa2011-07-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet loaded. But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result of search_binary_handler(). If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions. It is not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up. Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.

This patch allows tracer to figure out which thread performed this exec, by requesting PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG in PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop. Another, samller problem which is solved by this patch is that tracer now can figure out which of the several concurrent execs in multithreaded program succeeded.

| * job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automaticallyTejun Heo2011-06-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to (re)transit into TRACED. task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for some reason. The former is achieved by explicitly calling task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling it at the end of do_signal_stop(). Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop() limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING. We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. Cancellations can be handled by making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is called automatically if no stop/trap is pending. This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit 17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called. The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials _before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the system. This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to /sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail with ENOKEY unconditionally.

* | exec: delay address limit change until point of no returnMathias Krause2011-06-091-4/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

* coredump: add support for exe_file in core nameJiri Slaby2011-05-261-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.

* mm: mmu_gather reworkPeter Zijlstra2011-05-251-5/+5

The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

* mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()Michal Hocko2011-05-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.

* | signal: Use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stopTejun Heo2011-03-231-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group stop is complete. Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to the ptraced task in any other state. This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop. This results in the following behavior changes. * For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop reported. * A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be addressed with further patches. * A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop code handles this correctly. Oleg: * Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of group_stop_count. * Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly. * Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and RUNNING and the last behavior change.

That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later. compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory is not visible to oom killer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2) function. This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in oom conditions. This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the operation is atomic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already are.
