      ipc/shm: call underlying open/close vm_ops · b6305049
      Mike Kravetz authored 
      Shared memory segments can be created that are backed by hugetlb pages. 
When this happens, the vmas associated with any mappings (shmat) are
marked VM_HUGETLB, yet the vm_ops for such mappings are provided by
ipc/shm (shm_vm_ops).  There is a mechanism to call the underlying hugetlb
vm_ops, and this is done for most operations.  However, it is not done for
open and close.

This was not an issue until the introduction of the hugetlb vma_lock. 
This lock structure is pointed to by vm_private_data and the open/close
vm_ops help maintain this structure.  The special hugetlb routine called
at fork took care of structure updates at fork time.  However,
vma_splitting is not properly handled for ipc shared memory mappings
backed by hugetlb pages.  This can result in a "kernel NULL pointer
dereference" BUG or use after free as two vmas point to the same lock
structure.

Update the shm open and close routines to always call the underlying open
and close routines.

      shm: extend forced shm destroy to support objects from several IPC nses · 85b6d246
      Alexander Mikhalitsyn authored 
      Currently, the exit_shm() function not designed to work properly when
task->sysvshm.shm_clist holds shm objects from different IPC namespaces.

This is a real pain when sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, because it
leads to use-after-free (reproducer exists).

This is an attempt to fix the problem by extending exit_shm mechanism to
handle shm's destroy from several IPC ns'es.

To achieve that we do several things:

1. add a namespace (non-refcounted) pointer to the struct shmid_kernel

2. during new shm object creation (newseg()/shmget syscall) we
   initialize this pointer by current task IPC ns

3. exit_shm() fully reworked such that it traverses over all shp's in
   task->sysvshm.shm_clist and gets IPC namespace not from current task
   as it was before but from shp's object itself, then call
   shm_destroy(shp, ns).

Note: We need to be really careful here, because as it was said before
(1), our pointer to IPC ns non-refcnt'ed.  To be on the safe side we
using special helper get_ipc_ns_not_zero() which allows to get IPC ns
refcounter only if IPC ns not in the "state of destruction".

Q/A

Q: Why can we access shp->ns memory using non-refcounted pointer?
A: Because shp object lifetime is always shorther than IPC namespace
   lifetime, so, if we get shp object from the task->sysvshm.shm_clist
   while holding task_lock(task) nobody can steal our namespace.

Q: Does this patch change semantics of unshare/setns/clone syscalls?
A: No. It's just fixes non-covered case when process may leave IPC
   namespace without getting task->sysvshm.shm_clist list cleaned up.

      memcg: enable accounting of ipc resources · 18319498
      Vasily Averin authored 
      When user creates IPC objects it forces kernel to allocate memory for
these long-living objects.

It makes sense to account them to restrict the host's memory consumption
from inside the memcg-limited container.

This patch enables accounting for IPC shared memory segments, messages
semaphores and semaphore's undo lists.

      ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscalls · 275f2214
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      
The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between
architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION
symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set
that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze,
mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag.

For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k,
mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior
when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the
two groups of architectures.

The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call
entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl()
does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed
accordingly.

As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific
definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now,
but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface.

A small downside is that on architectures that do set
ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points
that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems
better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol.
I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for
consistency, but decided against that for now.

      y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32 · 9afc5eee
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:

Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.

The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:

old				new
---				---
compat_time_t			old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval		struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec		struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec	struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval()		ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64()	get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64()	put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64()		get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64()		put_old_timespec32()

As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.

I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.

This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

      ipc/shm.c add ->pagesize function to shm_vm_ops · eec3636a
      Jane Chu authored 
      Commit 05ea8860 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to
vm_operations_struct") adds a new ->pagesize() function to
hugetlb_vm_ops, intended to cover all hugetlbfs backed files.

With System V shared memory model, if "huge page" is specified, the
"shared memory" is backed by hugetlbfs files, but the mappings initiated
via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops overwritten with shm_vm_ops,
so we need to add a ->pagesize function to shm_vm_ops.  Otherwise,
vma_kernel_pagesize() returns PAGE_SIZE given a hugetlbfs backed vma,
result in below BUG:

  fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c
        443             if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) {
        444                     BUG_ON(truncate_op);

      rhashtable: split rhashtable.h · 0eb71a9d
      NeilBrown authored 
      
Due to the use of rhashtables in net namespaces,
rhashtable.h is included in lots of the kernel,
so a small changes can required a large recompilation.
This makes development painful.

This patch splits out rhashtable-types.h which just includes
the major type declarations, and does not include (non-trivial)
inline code.  rhashtable.h is no longer included by anything
in the include/ directory.
Common include files only include rhashtable-types.h so a large
recompilation is only triggered when that changes.

this patch does the other half of the job and and fills the new fields on

      ipc/shm: fix use-after-free of shm file via remap_file_pages() · 3f05317d
      Eric Biggers authored 
      syzbot reported a use-after-free of shm_file_data(file)->file->f_op in
shm_get_unmapped_area(), called via sys_remap_file_pages().

Unfortunately it couldn't generate a reproducer, but I found a bug which
I think caused it.  When remap_file_pages() is passed a full System V
shared memory segment, the memory is first unmapped, then a new map is
created using the ->vm_file.  Between these steps, the shm ID can be
removed and reused for a new shm segment.  But, shm_mmap() only checks
whether the ID is currently valid before calling the underlying file's
->mmap(); it doesn't check whether it was reused.  Thus it can use the
wrong underlying file, one that was already freed.

Fix this by making the "outer" shm file (the one that gets put in
->vm_file) hold a reference to the real shm file, and by making
__shm_open() require that the file associated with the shm ID matches
the one associated with the "outer" file.

Taking the reference to the real shm file is needed to fully solve the
problem, since otherwise sfd->file could point to a freed file, which
then could be reallocated for the reused shm ID, causing the wrong shm
segment to be mapped (and without the required permission checks).

Commit 1ac0b6de ("ipc/shm: handle removed segments gracefully in
shm_mmap()") almost fixed this bug, but it didn't go far enough because
it didn't consider the case where the shm ID is reused.

The following program usually reproduces this bug:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <sys/shm.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main()
	{
		int is_parent = (fork() != 0);
		srand(getpid());
		for (;;) {
			int id = shmget(0xF00F, 4096, IPC_CREAT|0700);
			if (is_parent) {
				void *addr = shmat(id, NULL, 0);
				usleep(rand() % 50);
				while (!syscall(__NR_remap_file_pages, addr, 4096, 0, 0, 0));
			} else {
				usleep(rand() % 50);
				shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL);
			}
		}
	}

It causes the following NULL pointer dereference due to a 'struct file'
being used while it's being freed.  (I couldn't actually get a KASAN
use-after-free splat like in the syzbot report.  But I think it's
possible with this bug; it would just take a more extraordinary race...)

This was added by the recent "ipc/shm.c: add split function to
shm_vm_ops", but it is not necessary.

      ipc/shm: introduce shmctl(SHM_STAT_ANY) · c21a6970
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      Patch series "sysvipc: introduce STAT_ANY commands", v2.

The following patches adds the discussed (see [1]) new command for shm
as well as for sems and msq as they are subject to the same
discrepancies for ipc object permission checks between the syscall and
via procfs.  These new commands are justified in that (1) we are stuck
with this semantics as changing syscall and procfs can break userland;
and (2) some users can benefit from performance (for large amounts of
shm segments, for example) from not having to parse the procfs
interface.

Once merged, I will submit the necesary manpage updates.  But I'm thinking
something like:

This patch (of 3):

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata
between /proc/sysvipc/shm (0444) and the SHM_STAT shmctl command.  The
later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO.  As such there can
be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed
anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the shm metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all
the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so
we are stuck with it.  Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the
procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs).  Some
applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and
can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some
reported cases.

This patch introduces a new SHM_STAT_ANY command such that the shm ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead.  In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.
