Richard Guy Briggs 9410d228a4 audit: call audit_bprm() only once to add AUDIT_EXECVE information
Move the audit_bprm() call from search_binary_handler() to exec_binprm().  This
allows us to get rid of the mm member of struct audit_aux_data_execve since
bprm->mm will equal current->mm.

This also mitigates the issue that ->argc could be modified by the
load_binary() call in search_binary_handler().

audit_bprm() was being called to add an AUDIT_EXECVE record to the audit
context every time search_binary_handler() was recursively called.  Only one
reference is necessary.

Rik van Riel 82727018b0 sched/numa: Call task_numa_free() from do_execve()
It is possible for a task in a numa group to call exec, and
have the new (unrelated) executable inherit the numa group
association from its former self.

This has the potential to break numa grouping, and is trivial
to fix.

Oleg Nesterov 6b3c538f5b exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()
The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.

- "retval >= 0" simply returns

- "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
   binfmt_lock was already re-acquired

- "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
  relies on the same check after the main loop

Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.

need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before
the main loop are not needed.  This is only for pathological and
impossible list_empty(&formats) case.

It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this
should be removed.

Oleg Nesterov 4e0621a07e exec: don't retry if request_module() fails
A separate one-liner for better documentation.

It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec
/sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check.

However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right:

1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user
   space modprobe process should report the correct exit code.
   But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change.

2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try
   to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case
   request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the
   "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller
   which doesn't make sense.

3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed
   by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more
   ugly.

Oleg Nesterov cb7b6b1cbc exec: cleanup the CONFIG_MODULES logic
search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto"
but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho.  We still need to
check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break"
for !CONFIG_MODULES case.

Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry".  The
code looks much simpler and we do not even need ifdef's, gcc can optimize
out the "if (need_retry)" block if !IS_ENABLED().

Oleg Nesterov 92eaa565ad exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler()
search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this
method should be always defined.  Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move
it into __register_binfmt().

Also, kill the function pointer.  The current code looks confusing, as if
->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock).  But we rely on
module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered,
otherwise this code is buggy anyway.

Oleg Nesterov 52f14282bb exec: move allow_write_access/fput to exec_binprm()
When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and
fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the
same.

We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once.
In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in
do_execve_common's error path.

A separate one-liner with the minor fix.

PROC_EVENT_EXEC reports the "exec" event, but this message is sent at
least twice if search_binary_handler() is called by ->load_binary()
recursively, say, load_script().

Move it to exec_binprm(), this is "depth == 0" code too.

Cyrill Gorcunov d9104d1ca9 mm: track vma changes with VM_SOFTDIRTY bit
Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
loosing soft dirty bit of course.

So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in.  When new vma area created (or old expanded)
we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.

Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
vma area is renewed.

Linus Torvalds 2b047252d0 Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases
Ben Tebulin reported:

 "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
  repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
  failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
  reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
  out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"

and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").

That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.

The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96c ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.

The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.

Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.

This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.

Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

Oleg Nesterov e56fb28740 exec: do not abuse ->cred_guard_mutex in threadgroup_lock()
threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable.  This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.

And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:

	do_execve:		cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex
	cgroup_mount:		i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex
	attach_task_by_pid:	cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex

Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
->cred_guard_mutex.

Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

On architectures where a pgd entry may be shared between user and kernel
(e.g.  ARM+LPAE), freeing page tables needs a ceiling other than 0.
This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can
override.  It is the responsibility of the arch code setting the ceiling
to ensure the complete freeing of the page tables (usually in
pgd_free()).

Xi Wang 6d92d4f6a7 fs/exec.c: work around icc miscompilation
The tricky problem is this check:

	if (i++ >= max)

icc (mis)optimizes this check as:

	if (++i > max)

The check now becomes a no-op since max is MAX_ARG_STRINGS (0x7FFFFFFF).

This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows,
because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior.  This
optimization effectively reverts the previous commit 362e6663ef
("exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking") that
tries to fix the check.

This patch simply moves ++ after the check.

Kees Cook b66c598401 exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.

Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules.  Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted.  They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack.  This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.

After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules.  As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.

This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp.  To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is.  Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

Kees Cook d740269867 exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth
To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.

This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:

        if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) {
                *argv-- = cmd;
                *argv = cmd = path_bshell;
                goto repeat;
        }

The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.

Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Eric W. Biederman 3cdf5b45ff userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mapped
When performing an exec where the binary lives in one user namespace and
the execing process lives in another usre namespace there is the possibility
that the target uids can not be represented.

Instead of failing the exec simply ignore the suid/sgid bits and run
the binary with lower privileges.   We already do this in the case
of MNT_NOSUID so this should be a well tested code path.

As the user and group are not changed this should not introduce any
security issues.

Jeff Layton 91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Michel Lespinasse 38a76013ad mm: avoid taking rmap locks in move_ptes()
During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the
original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have
new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >=
vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one.

When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal
order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes().

Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in
"mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail".  The difference is that we
don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on
things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to
taking locks in the uncommon case.  Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in
addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in
increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

Oleg Nesterov d5bbd43d5f exec: make de_thread() killable
Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for other threads.  The only complication is that we should
clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we
should do this under tasklist_lock.  -EAGAIN is used to match the
initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter.

This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump.  de_thread() checks
signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this
can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the
coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock.  In this case the
killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(),
execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread
waits for execing thread.  Deadlock.

	* they have working current_pt_regs(), even for kernel threads.
	* kernel_thread-spawned threads do have space for pt_regs

generic kernel_thread() and making sure that kernel threads do *not*
go through return from syscall path; call the payload from equivalent
of ret_from_fork if we are in a kernel thread (or just have separate
ret_from_kernel_thread and make copy_thread() use it instead of
ret_from_fork in kernel thread case).
	* they have ret_from_kernel_execve(); it is called after
successful do_execve() done by kernel_execve() and gets normal
pt_regs location passed to it as argument.  It's essentially
a longjmp() analog - it should set sp, etc. to the situation
expected at the return for syscall and go there.  Eventually
the need for that sucker will disappear, but that'll take some
surgery on kernel_thread() payloads.

Kees Cook 9520628e8c fs: make dumpable=2 require fully qualified path
When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump
pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files
to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with
user-controlled content.

This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of
CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges.

  $ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
  2
  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
  core
  $ ulimit -c unlimited
  $ cd /
  $ ls -l core
  ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory
  $ touch core
  touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied
  $ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 &
  $ pid=$!
  $ sleep 1
  $ kill -SEGV $pid
  $ ls -l core
  -rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core
  $ sudo strings core | grep evil
  OHAI=evil-string-here

While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any
parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read
any file present and skip unparsable lines.

Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of
mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk
via relative path).  Most users of mode 2 (e.g.  Chrome OS) already use
a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them.  For the
situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still
active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths.  If a
relative path is defined (e.g.  the default "core" pattern), dump
attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully
qualified path.

Josh Boyer 8ded2bbc18 posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitions
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in
FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1).  This uncovered an issue with the
kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include
<linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>.  A build failure would
be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
flags to gcc.

It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc
definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely.  The current in-kernel
uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no
uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines.  Given that, we'll
continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f
("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused
macros.

Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to
nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 4fe7efdbdf mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release() does
put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat and thus make
mm->rss_stat inconsistent.  This triggers the "BUG:" printk in check_mm().

Let's fix this bug in the safest way, and optimize/cleanup this later.

Linus Torvalds 48d212a2ee Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec"
This reverts commit 40af1bbdca.

It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:

 - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
   there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
   mmput() always does it on its own VM.  Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
   you name it.

 - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
   the mm struct may well be gone now.

 - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.

.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
looking for me and revert it asap.  I should have caught it before I
even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 40af1bbdca mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat.  Before
changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
sync_mm_rss().

do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
audit and other stuff.  Unfortunately the kernel does this before
calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
task->clear_child_tid.  So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again.  As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:

| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1

This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
out of do_exit() and calls it earlier.  After mm_release() there should
be no pagefaults.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  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.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Suresh Siddha 11aeca0b3a coredump: ensure the fpu state is flushed for proper multi-threaded core dump
Nalluru reported hitting the BUG_ON(__thread_has_fpu(tsk)) in
arch/x86/kernel/xsave.c:__sanitize_i387_state() during the coredump
of a multi-threaded application.

A look at the exit seqeuence shows that other threads can still be on the
runqueue potentially at the below shown exit_mm() code snippet:

		if (atomic_dec_and_test(&core_state->nr_threads))
			complete(&core_state->startup);

===> other threads can still be active here, but we notify the thread
===> dumping core to wakeup from the coredump_wait() after the last thread
===> joins this point. Core dumping thread will continue dumping
===> all the threads state to the core file.

		for (;;) {
			set_task_state(tsk, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
			if (!self.task) /* see coredump_finish() */
				break;
			schedule();
		}

As some of those threads are on the runqueue and didn't call schedule() yet,
their fpu state is still active in the live registers and the thread
proceeding with the coredump will hit the above mentioned BUG_ON while
trying to dump other threads fpustate to the coredump file.

BUG_ON() in arch/x86/kernel/xsave.c:__sanitize_i387_state() is
in the code paths for processors supporting xsaveopt. With or without
xsaveopt, multi-threaded coredump is broken and maynot contain
the correct fpustate at the time of exit.

In coredump_wait(), wait for all the threads to be come inactive, so
that we are sure all the extended register state is flushed to
the memory, so that it can be reliably copied to the core file.

Andy Lutomirski 259e5e6c75 Add PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS to prevent execve from granting privs
With this change, calling
  prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0)
disables privilege granting operations at execve-time.  For example, a
process will not be able to execute a setuid binary to change their uid
or gid if this bit is set.  The same is true for file capabilities.

Additionally, LSM_UNSAFE_NO_NEW_PRIVS is defined to ensure that
LSMs respect the requested behavior.

To determine if the NO_NEW_PRIVS bit is set, a task may call
  prctl(PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
It returns 1 if set and 0 if it is not set. If any of the arguments are
non-zero, it will return -1 and set errno to -EINVAL.
(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS behaves similarly.)

This functionality is desired for the proposed seccomp filter patch
series.  By using PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, it allows a task to modify the
system call behavior for itself and its child tasks without being
able to impact the behavior of a more privileged task.

Another potential use is making certain privileged operations
unprivileged.  For example, chroot may be considered "safe" if it cannot
affect privileged tasks.

Note, this patch causes execve to fail when PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS is
set and AppArmor is in use.  It is fixed in a subsequent patch.

1. TRACE_EVENT(sched_process_exec) forgets to actually use the

2. search_binary_handler() uses the wrong pid number. tracepoint
   needs the global pid_t from the root namespace, while old_pid
   is the virtual pid number as it seen by the tracer/parent.

With this patch we have two pid_t's in search_binary_handler(),
not really nice. Perhaps we should switch to "struct pid*", but
in this case it would be better to cleanup the current code
first and move the "depth == 0" code outside.

David Rientjes 05af2e104a mm, counters: remove task argument to sync_mm_rss() and __sync_task_rss_stat()
sync_mm_rss() can only be used for current to avoid race conditions in
iterating and clearing its per-task counters.  Remove the task argument
for it and its helper function, __sync_task_rss_stat(), to avoid thinking
it can be used safely for anything other than current.

Oleg Nesterov e636825346 exit_signal: simplify the "we have changed execution domain" logic
exit_notify() checks "tsk->self_exec_id != tsk->parent_exec_id"
to handle the "we have changed execution domain" case.

We can change do_thread() to always set ->exit_signal = SIGCHLD
and remove this check to simplify the code.

We could change setup_new_exec() instead, this looks more logical
because it increments ->self_exec_id. But note that de_thread()
already resets ->exit_signal if it changes the leader, let's keep
both changes close to each other.

Note that we change ->exit_signal lockless, this changes the rules.
Thereafter ->exit_signal is not stable under tasklist but this is
fine, the only possible change is OLDSIG -> SIGCHLD. This can race
with eligible_child() but the race is harmless. We can race with
reparent_leader() which changes our ->exit_signal in parallel, but
it does the same change to SIGCHLD.

The noticeable user-visible change is that the execing task is not
"visible" to do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE) right after exec.
To me this looks more logical, and this is consistent with mt case.

David Smith 4ff16c25e2 tracepoint, vfs, sched: Add exec() tracepoint
Added a minimal exec tracepoint. Exec is an important major event
in the life of a task, like fork(), clone() or exit(), all of
which we already trace.

[ We also do scheduling re-balancing during exec() - so it's useful
  from a scheduler instrumentation POV as well. ]

If you want to watch a task start up, when it gets exec'ed is a good place
to start.  With the addition of this tracepoint, exec's can be monitored
and better picture of general system activity can be obtained. This
tracepoint will also enable better process life tracking, allowing you to
answer questions like "what process keeps starting up binary X?".

This tracepoint can also be useful in ftrace filtering and trigger
conditions: i.e. starting or stopping filtering when exec is called.

David Howells 1fd36adcd9 Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then
use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros.

This:

 (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set:

     (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the
     	 time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of
     	 unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the
     	 fd_set at all?

     (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as
     	 SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside
     	 the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set.

 (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely.

 (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to
     userspace.

David Howells 1dce27c5aa Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
fd_sets.

The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.

This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:

	void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);

Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.

Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
the array.  Possibly that should exist too.

Heiko Carstens 96e02d1586 exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec()
Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
"complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
may free the passed in filename.
To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
contains the now early generated task name until it is used.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 43d2b11324 tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adj
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

David Rientjes c9f01245b6 oom: remove oom_disable_count
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.

Vasiliy Kulikov 72fa59970f move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()
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().

Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module
using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet

If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice

Oleg Nesterov 99b6456748 do_coredump: fix the "ispipe" error check
do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return
-ENOMEM.  This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can propagate
the error from d_path.  Even if it was true, this is too fragile.  Change
the code to check "ispipe < 0".

Jiri Slaby 2c563731fe coredump: escape / in hostname and comm
Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !.  If the process
changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory
tree doesn't exist like that).  The same with hostname being something
like myhost/3.  Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E.
(We extract it to a separate function.)

Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is
dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h):
core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1

Test-case:

		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid;

		if (fork()) {

			pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL);

		while (wait(NULL) > 0)
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0);

		return 0;
	}

It is racy, exit_notify() does __wake_up_parent() too. But in the
likely case it triggers the problem: de_thread() does release_task()
and the old leader goes away without the notification, the tracer
sleeps in do_wait() without children/tracees.

Change de_thread() to do __wake_up_parent(traced_leader->parent).
Since it is already EXIT_DEAD we can do this without ptrace_unlink(),
EXIT_DEAD threads do not exist from do_wait's pov.

Denys Vlasenko bb188d7e64 ptrace: make former thread ID available via PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG after PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop
When multithreaded program execs under ptrace,
all traced threads report WIFEXITED status, except for
thread group leader and the thread which execs.

Unless tracer tracks thread group relationship between tracees,
which is a nontrivial task, it will not detect that
execed thread no longer exists.

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.

good for the consistency, it is no longer the leader and all
sub-threads have exit_signal = -1 set by copy_process(CLONE_THREAD).

And this allows us to micro-optimize thread_group_leader(), it can

David Howells 879669961b KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyring
____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function.  The problem is that commit
17f60a7da1 ("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.

Linus Torvalds 13fca640bb Revert "fs/exec.c: use BUILD_BUG_ON for VM_STACK_FLAGS & VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP"
This reverts commit 7f81c8890c.

It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,
which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS.

The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have

  arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:

	#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
		(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)

	#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags

(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")

It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

Mathias Krause dac853ae89 exec: delay address limit change until point of no return
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.

Tejun Heo 6dfca32984 job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automatically
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().

JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but

to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead.

task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits.  If
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together.  All
task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call
task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is
functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending().

Jiri Slaby 57cc083ad9 coredump: add support for exe_file in core name
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)

Jiri Slaby 3864601387 mm: extract exe_file handling from procfs
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.

Peter Zijlstra d16dfc550f mm: mmu_gather rework
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.

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.

Michal Hocko d05f3169c0 mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()
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.

Tejun Heo 39efa3ef3a signal: Use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stop
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.

Tavis Ormandy 462e635e5b install_special_mapping skips security_file_mmap check.
The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.

bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

Oleg Nesterov 114279be21 exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths
Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
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.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

Oleg Nesterov 3c77f84572 exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer
Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

Xiaotian Feng 1b0d300bd0 core_pattern: fix truncation by core_pattern handler with long parameters
We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following:

%s %c %p %u %g 11 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 %t" > \
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE.  "cat
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string.  but after we run
core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated
like below:

        argc[10]=<12807486>

The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be
replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to
larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE.  So if the last parameter is % specifiers,
the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this
will write out of corename array.

Ying Han 3d5992d2ac oom: add per-mm oom disable count
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
0eead9ab41 ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the

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

Roland McGrath 9aea5a65aa execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call.  It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings.  This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.

Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending().  It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

Roland McGrath 7993bc1f46 execve: improve interactivity with large arguments
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings().  There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.

When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.

Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable.  We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit.  So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping.  But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a

fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock

struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.

Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

David Howells d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.
