By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted
capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its
credentials.
To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g.
in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS
flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set.
The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its
privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to
perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed
ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass.
While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to
perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access
check is reused for things in procfs.
In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely
on ptrace access checks:
/proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
this scenario:
lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar
drwx------ root root /root
drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
-rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret
Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its
effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file,
this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's
processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access
(through /proc/$pid/cwd).

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem
regarding gmap faults was discovered.
The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in
handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the
userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix.
This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look
closer at this.
This patch (of 2):
With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault
to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the
faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem.
This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up
the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same
semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and
so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the
behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

While reviewing Michael Kerrisk's recent futex manpage update, I noticed
that we allow the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET but
not for FUTEX_WAIT.
FUTEX_WAIT is treated as a simple version for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET
internally (with a bitmask of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY). As such, I cannot
come up with a reason for this exclusion for FUTEX_WAIT.
This change does modify the behavior of the futex syscall, changing a
call with FUTEX_WAIT | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME from returning -ENOSYS, to be
equivalent to FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with a bitset of
FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY.

It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.
That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using

futex_hash() references two global variables: the base pointer
futex_queues and the size of the array futex_hashsize. The latter is
marked __read_mostly, while the former is not, so they are likely to
end up very far from each other. This means that futex_hash() is
likely to encounter two cache misses.
We could mark futex_queues as __read_mostly as well, but that doesn't
guarantee they'll end up next to each other (and even if they do, they
may still end up in different cache lines). So put the two variables
in a small singleton struct with sufficient alignment and mark that as
__read_mostly.

Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita,
we really have very little debugging capabilities - except
for relying on tglx's eye half the time.
By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery,
we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial
uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is
disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks
is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time.
Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of
this.
There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter
out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and
this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock
(HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the
lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking
on the HB lock which is released by the owner shortly after.
This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and
then waking up the task.

Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing
hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using
wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real
world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases
of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in
large boxes, using but just a handful of futex).
At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread
attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a
up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions,
confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically
non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation,
the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine
the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks:
nr_thr ms-before ms-after
16 0.0590 0.0215
32 0.0396 0.0220
48 0.0417 0.0182
64 0.0536 0.0236
80 0.0414 0.0097
96 0.0672 0.0152
Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code
that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point
that other events can already trigger them anyway.

attach_to_pi_owner() checks p->mm to prevent attaching to kthreads and
this looks doubly wrong:
1. It should actually check PF_KTHREAD, kthread can do use_mm().
2. If this task is not kthread and it is actually the lock owner we can
wrongly return -EPERM instead of -ESRCH or retry-if-EAGAIN.
And note that this wrong EPERM is the likely case unless the exiting
task is (auto)reaped quickly, we check ->mm before PF_EXITING.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

This patch fixes two separate buglets in calls to futex_lock_pi():
* Eliminate unused 'detect' argument
* Change unused 'timeout' argument of FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI to NULL
The 'detect' argument of futex_lock_pi() seems never to have been
used (when it was included with the initial PI mutex implementation
in Linux 2.6.18, all checks against its value were disabled by
ANDing against 0 (i.e., if (detect... && 0)), and with
commit 778e9a9c3e, any mention of
this argument in futex_lock_pi() went way altogether. Its presence
now serves only to confuse readers of the code, by giving the
impression that the futex() FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation actually does
use the 'val' argument. This patch removes the argument.
The futex_lock_pi() call that corresponds to FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI includes
'timeout' as one of its arguments. This misleads the reader into thinking
that the FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI operation does employ timeouts for some sensible
purpose; but it does not. Indeed, it cannot, because the checks at the
start of sys_futex() exclude FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI from the set of operations
that do copy_from_user() on the timeout argument. So, in the
FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI futex_lock_pi() call it would be simplest to change
'timeout' to 'NULL'. This patch does that.

free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's.
exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of
free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi doesn't, which means free_pi_state
can free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. For example:
task A | task B
exit_pi_state_list |
pi_state = |
curr->pi_state_list->next |
| futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1)
| // pi_state is the same as
| // the one in task A
| free_pi_state(pi_state)
| list_del_init(&pi_state->list)
| kfree(pi_state)
list_del_init(&pi_state->list) |
Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb
locks which it's already holding.

Commit b0c29f79ec (futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's
nothing to wake up) changes the futex code to avoid taking a lock when
there are no waiters. This code has been subsequently fixed in commit
11d4616bd0 (futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code).
Both the original commit and the fix-up rely on get_futex_key_refs() to
always imply a barrier.
However, for private futexes, none of the cases in the switch statement
of get_futex_key_refs() would be hit and the function completes without
a memory barrier as required before checking the "waiters" in
futex_wake() -> hb_waiters_pending(). The consequence is a race with a
thread waiting on a futex on another CPU, allowing the waker thread to
read "waiters == 0" while the waiter thread to have read "futex_val ==
locked" (in kernel).
Without this fix, the problem (user space deadlocks) can be seen with
Android bionic's mutex implementation on an arm64 multi-cluster system.

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:
if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_put_keys;
}
which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.
So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.
Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

futex_lock_pi_atomic() is a maze of retry hoops and loops.
Reduce it to simple and understandable states:
First step is to lookup existing waiters (state) in the kernel.
If there is an existing waiter, validate it and attach to it.
If there is no existing waiter, check the user space value
If the TID encoded in the user space value is 0, take over the futex
preserving the owner died bit.
If the TID encoded in the user space value is != 0, lookup the owner
task, validate it and attach to it.

The kernel tries to atomically unlock the futex without checking
whether there is kernel state associated to the futex.
So if user space manipulated the user space value, this will leave
kernel internal state around associated to the owner task.
For robustness sake, lookup first whether there are waiters on the
futex. If there are waiters, wake the top priority waiter with all the
proper sanity checks applied.
If there are no waiters, do the atomic release. We do not have to
preserve the waiters bit in this case, because a potentially incoming
waiter is blocked on the hb->lock and will acquire the futex
atomically. We neither have to preserve the owner died bit. The caller
is the owner and it was supposed to cleanup the mess.

The current implementation of lookup_pi_state has ambigous handling of
the TID value 0 in the user space futex. We can get into the kernel
even if the TID value is 0, because either there is a stale waiters bit
or the owner died bit is set or we are called from the requeue_pi path
or from user space just for fun.
The current code avoids an explicit sanity check for pid = 0 in case
that kernel internal state (waiters) are found for the user space
address. This can lead to state leakage and worse under some
circumstances.
Handle the cases explicit:
Waiter | pi_state | pi->owner | uTID | uODIED | ?
[1] NULL | --- | --- | 0 | 0/1 | Valid
[2] NULL | --- | --- | >0 | 0/1 | Valid
[3] Found | NULL | -- | Any | 0/1 | Invalid
[4] Found | Found | NULL | 0 | 1 | Valid
[5] Found | Found | NULL | >0 | 1 | Invalid
[6] Found | Found | task | 0 | 1 | Valid
[7] Found | Found | NULL | Any | 0 | Invalid
[8] Found | Found | task | ==taskTID | 0/1 | Valid
[9] Found | Found | task | 0 | 0 | Invalid
[10] Found | Found | task | !=taskTID | 0/1 | Invalid
[1] Indicates that the kernel can acquire the futex atomically. We
came came here due to a stale FUTEX_WAITERS/FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit.
[2] Valid, if TID does not belong to a kernel thread. If no matching
thread is found then it indicates that the owner TID has died.
[3] Invalid. The waiter is queued on a non PI futex
[4] Valid state after exit_robust_list(), which sets the user space
value to FUTEX_WAITERS | FUTEX_OWNER_DIED.
[5] The user space value got manipulated between exit_robust_list()
and exit_pi_state_list()
[6] Valid state after exit_pi_state_list() which sets the new owner in
the pi_state but cannot access the user space value.
[7] pi_state->owner can only be NULL when the OWNER_DIED bit is set.
[8] Owner and user space value match
[9] There is no transient state which sets the user space TID to 0
except exit_robust_list(), but this is indicated by the
FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit. See [4]
[10] There is no transient state which leaves owner and user space
TID out of sync.

Dave Jones trinity syscall fuzzer exposed an issue in the deadlock

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140429151655.GA14277@redhat.com
That underlying issue has been fixed with a patch to the rtmutex code,
but the futex code must not call into rtmutex in that case because
- it can detect that issue early
- it avoids a different and more complex fixup for backing out
If the user space variable got manipulated to 0x80000000 which means
no lock holder, but the waiters bit set and an active pi_state in the
kernel is found we can figure out the recursive locking issue by
looking at the pi_state owner. If that is the current task, then we
can safely return -EDEADLK.

Jan Stancek reported:
"pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP)
occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up.
Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition.
Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex,
which calls:
futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..)
This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and
tries to wake up another thread:
futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1)
If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are
requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up"
The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that
the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock
(because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the
"requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even
thought about that case.
This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target
hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It
then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that
actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional
required waiter count housekeeping.

Srikar Dronamraju reports that commit b0c29f79ec ("futexes: Avoid
taking the hb->lock if there's nothing to wake up") causes java threads
getting stuck on futexes when runing specjbb on a power7 numa box.
The cause appears to be that the powerpc spinlocks aren't using the same
ticket lock model that we use on x86 (and other) architectures, which in
turn result in the "spin_is_locked()" test in hb_waiters_pending()
occasionally reporting an unlocked spinlock even when there are pending
waiters.
So this reinstates Davidlohr Bueso's original explicit waiter counting
code, which I had convinced Davidlohr to drop in favor of figuring out
the pending waiters by just using the existing state of the spinlock and
the wait queue.

If an architecture has futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() implemented and there
is no runtime check necessary, allow to skip the test within futex_init().
This allows to get rid of some code which would always give the same result,
and also allows the compiler to optimize a couple of if statements away.
