io_uring always punts opens to async context, since there's no control
over whether the lookup blocks or not. Add LOOKUP_CACHED to support
just doing the fast RCU based lookups, which we know will not block. If
we can do a cached path resolution of the filename, then we don't have
to always punt lookups for a worker.
During path resolution, we always do LOOKUP_RCU first. If that fails and
we terminate LOOKUP_RCU, then fail a LOOKUP_CACHED attempt as well.

Most callers check for non-zero return, and assume it's -ECHILD (which
it always will be). One caller uses the actual error return. Clean this
up and make it fully consistent, by having unlazy_walk() return a bool
instead. Rename it to try_to_unlazy() and return true on success, and
failure on error. That's easier to read.

Running my yearly branch profiling code, it detected a 100% wrong branch
condition in name.c for lookup_fast(). The code in question has:
status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd->flags);
if (likely(status > 0))
return dentry;
if (unlazy_child(nd, dentry, seq))
return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD);
if (unlikely(status == -ECHILD))
/* we'd been told to redo it in non-rcu mode */
status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd->flags);
If the status of the d_revalidate() is greater than zero, then the function
finishes. Otherwise, if it is an "unlazy_child" it returns with -ECHILD.
After the above two checks, the status is compared to -ECHILD, as that is
what is returned if the original d_revalidate() needed to be done in a
non-rcu mode.
Especially this path is called in a condition of:
if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU) {
And most of the d_revalidate() functions have:
if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
return -ECHILD;
It appears that that is the only case that this if statement is triggered
on two of my machines, running in production.
As it is dependent on what filesystem mix is configured in the running
kernel, simply remove the unlikely() from the if statement.

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks
when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the
existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD
variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long
time with equivalent implementations.
Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with
the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so
user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow
them explicitly.
Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged
writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an
unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is
thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with
untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files.
Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to
execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late. This was
fixed in commit 73601ea5b7 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files
during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already
run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular
files.
Move the test into the other inode type checks (which already look for
other pathological conditions[1]). Since there is no need to use
FMODE_EXEC while we still have access to "acc_mode", also switch the test
to MAY_EXEC.
Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of
execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes.

posix_acl_permission() does not care about MAY_NOT_BLOCK, and in fact
the permission logic internally must not check that bit (it's only for
upper layers to decide whether they can block to do IO to look up the
acl information or not).
But the way the code was written, it _looked_ like it cared, since the
function explicitly did not mask that bit off.
But it has exactly two callers: one for when that bit is set, which
first clears the bit before calling posix_acl_permission(), and the
other call site when that bit was clear.
So stop the silly games "saving" the MAY_NOT_BLOCK bit that must not be
used for the actual permission test, and that currently is pointlessly
cleared by the callers when the function itself should just not care.

Rasmus Villemoes points out that the 'in_group_p()' tests can be a
noticeable expense, and often completely unnecessary. A common
situation is that the 'group' bits are the same as the 'other' bits
wrt the permissions we want to test.
So rewrite 'acl_permission_check()' to not bother checking for group
ownership when the permission check doesn't care.
For example, if we're asking for read permissions, and both 'group' and
'other' allow reading, there's really no reason to check if we're part
of the group or not: either way, we'll allow it.
Rasmus says:
"On a bog-standard Ubuntu 20.04 install, a workload consisting of
compiling lots of userspace programs (i.e., calling lots of
short-lived programs that all need to get their shared libs mapped in,
and the compilers poking around looking for system headers - lots of
/usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/include/ accesses) puts in_group_p around
0.1% according to perf top.
System-installed files are almost always 0755 (directories and
binaries) or 0644, so in most cases, we can avoid the binary search
and the cost of pulling the cred->groups array and in_group_p() .text
into the cpu cache"

We fall back to lookup+create (instead of atomic_open) in several cases:
1) we don't have write access to filesystem and O_TRUNC is
present in the flags. It's not something we want ->atomic_open() to
see - it just might go ahead and truncate the file. However, we can
pass it the flags sans O_TRUNC - eventually do_open() will call
handle_truncate() anyway.
2) we have O_CREAT | O_EXCL and we can't write to parent.
That's going to be an error, of course, but we want to know _which_
error should that be - might be EEXIST (if file exists), might be
EACCES or EROFS. Simply stripping O_CREAT (and checking if we see
ENOENT) would suffice, if not for O_EXCL. However, we used to have
->atomic_open() fully responsible for rejecting O_CREAT | O_EXCL
on existing file and just stripping O_CREAT would've disarmed
those checks. With nothing downstream to catch the problem -
FMODE_OPENED used to be "don't bother with EEXIST checks,
->atomic_open() has done those". Now EEXIST checks downstream
are skipped only if FMODE_CREATED is set - FMODE_OPENED alone
is not enough. That has eliminated the need to fall back onto
lookup+create path in this case.
3) O_WRONLY or O_RDWR when we have no write access to
filesystem, with nothing else objectionable. Fallback is
(and had always been) pointless.
IOW, we don't really need that fallback; all we need in such
cases is to trim O_TRUNC and O_CREAT properly.

Currently path_openat() has "EEXIST on O_EXCL|O_CREAT" checks done on one
of the ways out of open_last_lookups(). There are 4 cases:
1) the last component is . or ..; check is not done.
2) we had FMODE_OPENED or FMODE_CREATED set while in lookup_open();
check is not done.
3) symlink to be traversed is found; check is not done (nor
should it be)
4) everything else: check done (before complete_walk(), even).
In case (1) O_EXCL|O_CREAT ends up failing with -EISDIR - that's
open("/tmp/.", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
Note that in the same conditions
open("/tmp", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
would have yielded EEXIST. Either error is allowed, switching to -EEXIST
in these cases would've been more consistent.
Case (2) is more subtle; first of all, if we have FMODE_CREATED set, the
object hadn't existed prior to the call. The check should not be done in
such a case. The rest is problematic, though - we have
FMODE_OPENED set (i.e. it went through ->atomic_open() and got
successfully opened there)
FMODE_CREATED is *NOT* set
O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both set.
Any such case is a bug - either we failed to set FMODE_CREATED when we
had, in fact, created an object (no such instances in the tree) or
we have opened a pre-existing file despite having had both O_CREAT and
O_EXCL passed. One of those was, in fact caught (and fixed) while
sorting out this mess (gfs2 on cold dcache). And in such situations
we should fail with EEXIST.
Note that for (1) and (4) FMODE_CREATED is not set - for (1) there's nothing
in handle_dots() to set it, for (4) we'd explicitly checked that.
And (1), (2) and (4) are exactly the cases when we leave the loop in
the caller, with do_open() called immediately after that loop. IOW, we
can move the check over there, and make it
If we have O_CREAT|O_EXCL and after successful pathname resolution
FMODE_CREATED is *not* set, we must have run into a preexisting file and
should fail with EEXIST.

pick_link() needs to push onto stack; we start with using two-element
array embedded into struct nameidata and the first time we need
more than that we switch to separately allocated array.
Allocation can fail, of course, and handling of that would be simple
enough - we need to drop 'link' and bugger off. However, the things
get more complicated in RCU mode. There we must do GFP_ATOMIC
allocation. If that fails, we try to switch to non-RCU mode and
repeat the allocation.
To switch to non-RCU mode we need to grab references to 'link' and
to everything in nameidata. The latter done by unlazy_walk();
the former - legitimize_path(). 'link' must go first - after
unlazy_walk() we are out of RCU-critical period and it's too
late to call legitimize_path() since the references in link->mnt
and link->dentry might be pointing to freed and reused memory.
So we do legitimize_path(), then unlazy_walk(). And that's where
it gets too subtle: what to do if the former fails? We MUST
do path_put(link) to avoid leaks. And we can't do that under
rcu_read_lock(). Solution in mainline was to empty then nameidata
manually, drop out of RCU mode and then do put_path().
In effect, we open-code the things eventual terminate_walk()
would've done on error in RCU mode. That looks badly out of place
and confusing. We could add a comment along the lines of the
explanation above, but... there's a simpler solution. Call
unlazy_walk() even if legitimaze_path() fails. It will take
us out of RCU mode, so we'll be able to do path_put(link).
Yes, it will do unnecessary work - attempt to grab references
on the stuff in nameidata, only to have them dropped as soon
as we return the error to upper layer and get terminate_walk()
called there. So what? We are thoroughly off the fast path
by that point - we had GFP_ATOMIC allocation fail, we had
->d_seq or mount_lock mismatch and we are about to try walking
the same path from scratch in non-RCU mode. Which will need
to do the same allocation, this time with GFP_KERNEL, so it will
be able to apply memory pressure for blocking stuff.
Compared to that the cost of several lockref_get_not_dead()
is noise. And the logics become much easier to understand
that way.

step_into() tries to avoid grabbing and dropping mount references
on the steps that do not involve crossing mountpoints (which is
obviously the majority of cases). So it uses a local struct path
with unusual refcounting rules - path.mnt is pinned if and only if
it's not equal to nd->path.mnt.
We used to have similar beasts all over the place and we had quite
a few bugs crop up in their handling - it's easy to get confused
when changing e.g. cleanup on failure exits (or adding a new check,
etc.)
Now that's mostly gone - the step_into() instance (which is what
we need them for) is the only one left. It is exposed to mount
traversal and it's (shortly) seen by pick_link(). Since pick_link()
needs to store it in link stack, where the normal rules apply,
it has to make sure that mount is pinned regardless of nd->path.mnt
value. That's done on all calls of pick_link() and very early
in those. Let's do that in the caller (step_into()) instead -
that way the fewer places need to be aware of such struct path
instances.

The loops in follow_dotdot{_rcu()} are doing the same thing:
we have a mount and we want to find out how far up the chain
of mounts do we need to go.
We follow the chain of mount until we find one that is not
directly overmounting the root of another mount. If such
a mount is found, we want the location it's mounted upon.
If we run out of chain (i.e. get to a mount that is not
mounted on anything else) or run into process' root, we
report failure.
On success, we want (in RCU case) d_seq of resulting location
sampled or (in non-RCU case) references to that location
acquired.

switches follow_dotdot_rcu() to it; non-RCU case will be

if *not* in mount root // normal case
find the parent
return
if at absolute root // very uncommon

move to underlying mountpoint
report that we are in root
Pull the common path out of the loop:
if in process' root // uncommon
goto in_root
if unlikely(in mount root)
while true
if at absolute root
goto in_root
move to underlying mountpoint
if in process' root
goto in_root
if in mount root
break;
find the parent // we are not in mount root
return
in_root:
report that we are in root
The reason for that transformation is that we get to keep the
common path straight *and* get a separate block for "move
through underlying mountpoints", which will allow to sanitize
NO_XDEV handling there. What's more, the pared-down loops
will be easier to deal with - in particular, non-RCU case
has no need to grab mount_lock and rewriting it to the
form that wouldn't do that is a non-trivial change. Better
do that with less stuff getting in the way...

Right now the tail ends of follow_dotdot{,_rcu}() are pretty
much the open-coded analogues of step_into(). The differences:
* the lack of proper LOOKUP_NO_XDEV handling in non-RCU case
(arguably a bug)
* the lack of ->d_manage() handling (again, arguably a bug)
Adjust the calling conventions so that on the next step with could
just switch those functions to returning step_into().

Behaviour change: LOOKUP_BENEATH lookup of .. in absolute root
yields an error even if it's not the process' root. That's
possible only if you'd managed to escape chroot jail by way of
procfs symlinks, but IMO the resulting behaviour is not worse -
more consistent and easier to describe:
".." in root is "stay where you are", uness LOOKUP_BENEATH

it's easier to drop it right after lookup_open() and regain if
needed (i.e. if we will need to truncate). On the non-FMODE_OPENED

We use nd->stack to store two things: pinning down the symlinks
we are resolving and resuming the name traversal when a nested
symlink is finished.
Currently, nd->depth is used to keep track of both. It's 0 when
we call link_path_walk() for the first time (for the pathname
itself) and 1 on all subsequent calls (for trailing symlinks,
if any). That's fine, as far as pinning symlinks goes - when
handling a trailing symlink, the string we are interpreting
is the body of symlink pinned down in nd->stack[0]. It's
rather inconvenient with respect to handling nested symlinks,
though - when we run out of a string we are currently interpreting,
we need to decide whether it's a nested symlink (in which case
we need to pick the string saved back when we started to interpret
that nested symlink and resume its traversal) or not (in which
case we are done with link_path_walk()).
Current solution is a bit of a kludge - in handling of trailing symlink
(in lookup_last() and open_last_lookups() we clear nd->stack[0].name.
That allows link_path_walk() to use the following rules when
running out of a string to interpret:
* if nd->depth is zero, we are at the end of pathname itself.
* if nd->depth is positive, check the saved string; for
nested symlink it will be non-NULL, for trailing symlink - NULL.
It works, but it's rather non-obvious. Note that we have two sets:
the set of symlinks currently being traversed and the set of postponed
pathname tails. The former is stored in nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].link
and it's valid throught the pathname resolution; the latter is valid only
during an individual call of link_path_walk() and it occupies
nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].name for the first call of link_path_walk() and
nd->stack[1..nd->depth-1].name for subsequent ones. The kludge is basically
a way to recognize the second set becoming empty.
The things get simpler if we keep track of the second set's size
explicitly and always store it in nd->stack[0..depth-1].name.
We access the second set only inside link_path_walk(), so its
size can live in a local variable; that way the check becomes
trivial without the need of that kludge.

->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT),
link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND).
The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last().
They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat(). In the last
3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk().
In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from
assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the
value we have at the return from link_path_walk().
The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only
if the pathname contains nothing but slashes. Note that pick_link()
never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly. So for the calls
of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value
had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it.
There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND:
1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from
link_path_walk(). In that case we will either be parsing the next
component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will
overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it,
or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all.
2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last().
The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value
seen at return from any link_path_walk().
3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last(). Ditto.
In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is
LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value. Kill it off.
And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only
case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value
is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init(). Move that assignment
from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate
the things.
Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing
pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop).
No point keeping it anymore...

After a pure jump ("/" or procfs-style symlink) we don't need to
hold the link anymore. link_path_walk() dropped it if such case
had been detected, lookup_last/do_last() (i.e. old trailing_symlink())
left it on the stack - it ended up calling terminate_walk() shortly
anyway, which would've purged the entire stack.

Fold trailing_symlink() into lookup_last() and do_last(), change
the calling conventions of those two. Rules change:
success, we are done => NULL instead of 0
error => ERR_PTR(-E...) instead of -E...
got a symlink to follow => return the path to be followed instead of 1
The loops calling those (in path_lookupat() and path_openat()) adjusted.
A subtle change of control flow here: originally a pure-jump trailing
symlink ("/" or procfs one) would've passed through the upper level
loop once more, with "" for path to traverse. That would've brought
us back to the lookup_last/do_last entry and we would've hit LAST_BIND
case (LAST_BIND left from get_link() called by trailing_symlink())
and pretty much skip to the point right after where we'd left the
sucker back when we picked that trailing symlink.
Now we don't bother with that extra pass through the upper level
loop - if get_link() says "I've just done a pure jump, nothing
else to do", we just treat that as non-symlink case.
Boilerplate added on that step will go away shortly - it'll migrate
into walk_component() and then to step_into(), collapsing into the
change of calling conventions for those.

The following is true:
* calls of handle_mounts() and step_into() are always
paired in sequences like
err = handle_mounts(nd, dentry, &path, &inode, &seq);
if (unlikely(err < 0))
return err;
err = step_into(nd, &path, flags, inode, seq);
* in all such sequences path is uninitialized before and
unused after this pair of calls
* in all such sequences inode and seq are unused afterwards.

We need to dismiss a symlink when we are done traversing it;
currently that's done when we call step_into() for its last
component. For the cases when we do not call step_into()
for that component (i.e. when it's . or ..) we do the same
symlink dismissal after the call of handle_dots().
What we need to guarantee is that the symlink won't be dismissed
while we are still using nd->last.name - it's pointing into the
body of said symlink. step_into() is sufficiently late - by
the time it's called we'd already obtained the dentry, so the
name we'd been looking up is no longer needed. However, it
turns out to be cleaner to have that ("we are done with that
component now, can dismiss the link") done explicitly - in the
callers of step_into().
In handle_dots() case we won't be using the component string
at all, so for . and .. the corresponding point is actually
_before_ the call of handle_dots(), not after it.
Fix a minor irregularity in do_last(), while we are at it -
if trailing symlink ended with . or .. we forgot to dismiss
it. Not a problem, since nameidata is about to be done with
(neither . nor .. can be a trailing symlink, so this is the
last iteration through the loop) and terminate_walk() will
clean the stack anyway, but let's keep it more regular.

Current calling conventions: -E... on error, 0 on cache miss,
result of handle_mounts(nd, dentry, path, inode, seqp) on
success. Turn that into returning ERR_PTR(-E...), NULL and dentry
resp.; deal with handle_mounts() in the callers. The thing
is, they already do that in cache miss handling case, so we
just need to supply dentry to them and unify the mount traversal
in those cases. Fewer arguments that way, and we get closer
to merging handle_mounts() and step_into().

1) in case of __follow_mount_rcu() failure, lookup_fast() proceeds

__follow_mount_rcu() at all), so all stuff conditional upon
non-positive status won't be even touched.
Consolidate just that sequence after the call of __follow_mount_rcu().
2) calling d_is_negative() and keeping its result is pointless -
we either don't get past checking ->d_seq (and don't use the results of
d_is_negative() at all), or we are guaranteed that ->d_inode and
type bits of ->d_flags had been consistent at the time of d_is_negative()
call. IOW, we could only get to the use of its result if it's
equal to !inode. The same ->d_seq check guarantees that after that point
this CPU won't observe ->d_flags values older than ->d_inode update.

All callers of follow_managed() follow it on success with the same steps -
d_backing_inode(path->dentry) is calculated and stored into some struct inode *
variable and, in all but one case, an unsigned variable (nd->seq to be) is
zeroed. The single exception is lookup_fast() and there zeroing is correct
thing to do - not doing it is a pointless microoptimization.
Add a wrapper for follow_managed() that would do that combination.
It's mostly a vehicle for code massage - it will be changing quite a bit,
and the current calling conventions are by no means final. Right now it
takes path, nameidata and (as out params) inode and seq, similar to
__follow_mount_rcu(). Which will soon get folded into it...

O_CREAT | O_EXCL means "-EEXIST if we run into a trailing symlink".
As it is, we might or might not have LOOKUP_FOLLOW in op->intent
in that case - that depends upon having O_NOFOLLOW in open flags.
It doesn't matter, since we won't be checking it in that case -
do_last() bails out earlier.
However, making sure it's not set (i.e. acting as if we had an explicit
O_NOFOLLOW) makes the behaviour more explicit and allows to reorder the
check for O_CREAT | O_EXCL in do_last() with the call of step_into()

Protection against automount/automount races (two threads hitting the same
referral point at the same time) is based upon do_add_mount() prevention of
identical overmounts - trying to overmount the root of mounted tree with
the same tree fails with -EBUSY. It's unreliable (the other thread might've
mounted something on top of the automount it has triggered) *and* causes
no end of headache for follow_automount() and its caller, since
finish_automount() behaves like do_new_mount() - if the mountpoint to be is
overmounted, it mounts on top what's overmounting it. It's not only wrong
(we want to go into what's overmounting the automount point and quietly
discard what we planned to mount there), it introduces the possibility of
original parent mount getting dropped. That's what 8aef188452 (VFS: Fix
vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount) deals with, but it can't do
anything about the reliability of conflict detection - if something had
been overmounted the other thread's automount (e.g. that other thread
having stepped into automount in mount(2)), we don't get that -EBUSY and
the result is
referral point under automounted NFS under explicit overmount
under another copy of automounted NFS
What we need is finish_automount() *NOT* digging into overmounts - if it
finds one, it should just quietly discard the thing it was asked to mount.
And don't bother with actually crossing into the results of finish_automount() -
the same loop that calls follow_automount() will do that just fine on the
next iteration.
IOW, instead of calling lock_mount() have finish_automount() do it manually,
_without_ the "move into overmount and retry" part. And leave crossing into
the results to the caller of follow_automount(), which simplifies it a lot.
Moral: if you end up with a lot of glue working around the calling conventions
of something, perhaps these calling conventions are simply wrong...

Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
for more "obvious" patch.
Analysis:
- at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
inode of the file to get opened is not known.
- after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.
- at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
be garbage.
The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the
do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.
In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
should use that.

Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
"This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.
I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
review during that... Oh, well.
Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
review and public testing, so here it comes"
From Aleksa's description of the series:
"For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
flags are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
to being added to openat(2).
Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
applications.
This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
(which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
others I felt were useful.
In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:
LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:
Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
permitted).
LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:
Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
the name.
It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.
In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.
LOOKUP_BENEATH:
Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.
Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
to protect against various races that would allow escape using
"..".
Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.
In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:
Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
long as no parent path had a symlink component.
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:
This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
chroot(2) is not.
If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.
The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
paths in a potentially malicious container.
There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
few).
In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.
Future work would include implementing things like
RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

... and get rid of a bunch of bugs in it. Background:
the reason for path_mountpoint() is that umount() really doesn't
want attempts to revalidate the root of what it's trying to umount.
The thing we want to avoid actually happen from complete_walk();
solution was to do something parallel to normal path_lookupat()
and it both went overboard and got the boilerplate subtly
(and not so subtly) wrong.
A better solution is to do pretty much what the normal path_lookupat()
does, but instead of complete_walk() do unlazy_walk(). All it takes
to avoid that ->d_weak_revalidate() call... mountpoint_last() goes
away, along with everything it got wrong, and so does the magic around
LOOKUP_NO_REVAL.
Another source of bugs is that when we traverse mounts at the final
location (and we need to do that - umount . expects to get whatever's
overmounting ., if any, out of the lookup) we really ought to take
care of ->d_manage() - as it is, manual umount of autofs automount
in progress can lead to unpleasant surprises for the daemon. Easily
solved by using handle_lookup_down() instead of follow_mount().

Allow LOOKUP_BENEATH and LOOKUP_IN_ROOT to safely permit ".." resolution
(in the case of LOOKUP_BENEATH the resolution will still fail if ".."
resolution would resolve a path outside of the root -- while
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will chroot(2)-style scope it). Magic-link jumps are
still disallowed entirely[*].
As Jann explains[1,2], the need for this patch (and the original no-".."
restriction) is explained by observing there is a fairly easy-to-exploit
race condition with chroot(2) (and thus by extension LOOKUP_IN_ROOT and
LOOKUP_BENEATH if ".." is allowed) where a rename(2) of a path can be
used to "skip over" nd->root and thus escape to the filesystem above
nd->root.
thread1 [attacker]:
for (;;)
renameat2(AT_FDCWD, "/a/b/c", AT_FDCWD, "/a/d", RENAME_EXCHANGE);
thread2 [victim]:
for (;;)
openat2(dirb, "b/c/../../etc/shadow",
{ .flags = O_PATH, .resolve = RESOLVE_IN_ROOT } );
With fairly significant regularity, thread2 will resolve to
"/etc/shadow" rather than "/a/b/etc/shadow". There is also a similar
(though somewhat more privileged) attack using MS_MOVE.
With this patch, such cases will be detected *during* ".." resolution
and will return -EAGAIN for userspace to decide to either retry or abort
the lookup. It should be noted that ".." is the weak point of chroot(2)
-- walking *into* a subdirectory tautologically cannot result in you
walking *outside* nd->root (except through a bind-mount or magic-link).
There is also no other way for a directory's parent to change (which is
the primary worry with ".." resolution here) other than a rename or
MS_MOVE.
The primary reason for deferring to userspace with -EAGAIN is that an
in-kernel retry loop (or doing a path_is_under() check after re-taking
the relevant seqlocks) can become unreasonably expensive on machines
with lots of VFS activity (nfsd can cause lots of rename_lock updates).
Thus it should be up to userspace how many times they wish to retry the
lookup -- the selftests for this attack indicate that there is a ~35%
chance of the lookup succeeding on the first try even with an attacker
thrashing rename_lock.
A variant of the above attack is included in the selftests for
openat2(2) later in this patch series. I've run this test on several
machines for several days and no instances of a breakout were detected.
While this is not concrete proof that this is safe, when combined with
the above argument it should lend some trustworthiness to this
construction.
[*] It may be acceptable in the future to do a path_is_under() check for
magic-links after they are resolved. However this seems unlikely to
be a feature that people *really* need -- it can be added later if
it turns out a lot of people want it.

/* Background. */
Container runtimes or other administrative management processes will
often interact with root filesystems while in the host mount namespace,
because the cost of doing a chroot(2) on every operation is too
prohibitive (especially in Go, which cannot safely use vfork). However,
a malicious program can trick the management process into doing
operations on files outside of the root filesystem through careful
crafting of symlinks.
Most programs that need this feature have attempted to make this process
safe, by doing all of the path resolution in userspace (with symlinks
being scoped to the root of the malicious root filesystem).
Unfortunately, this method is prone to foot-guns and usually such
implementations have subtle security bugs.
Thus, what userspace needs is a way to resolve a path as though it were
in a chroot(2) -- with all absolute symlinks being resolved relative to
the dirfd root (and ".." components being stuck under the dirfd root).
It is much simpler and more straight-forward to provide this
functionality in-kernel (because it can be done far more cheaply and
correctly).
More classical applications that also have this problem (which have
their own potentially buggy userspace path sanitisation code) include
web servers, archive extraction tools, network file servers, and so on.
/* Userspace API. */
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will be exposed to userspace through openat2(2).
/* Semantics. */
Unlike most other LOOKUP flags (most notably LOOKUP_FOLLOW),
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT applies to all components of the path.
With LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, any path component which attempts to cross the
starting point of the pathname lookup (the dirfd passed to openat) will
remain at the starting point. Thus, all absolute paths and symlinks will
be scoped within the starting point.
There is a slight change in behaviour regarding pathnames -- if the
pathname is absolute then the dirfd is still used as the root of
resolution of LOOKUP_IN_ROOT is specified (this is to avoid obvious
foot-guns, at the cost of a minor API inconsistency).
As with LOOKUP_BENEATH, Jann's security concern about ".."[1] applies to
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT -- therefore ".." resolution is blocked. This restriction
will be lifted in a future patch, but requires more work to ensure that
permitting ".." is done safely.
Magic-link jumps are also blocked, because they can beam the path lookup
across the starting point. It would be possible to detect and block
only the "bad" crossings with path_is_under() checks, but it's unclear
whether it makes sense to permit magic-links at all. However, userspace
is recommended to pass LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS if they want to ensure that
magic-link crossing is entirely disabled.
/* Testing. */
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT is tested as part of the openat2(2) selftests.
