mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE 2018-04-11T17:28:38+00:00 Michal Hocko mhocko@suse.com 2018-04-10T23:35:57+00:00 a4ff8e8620d3f4f50ac4b41e8067b7d395056843 Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2. This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g. stack). The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g. for shared or file backed mappings). One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment tricks from the hardening [6]. The patch is really trivial but it has been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic solution. We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED. The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range conflicts with an existing one. The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward compatibility. We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing mapping. I do not see a good way around that. Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the userspace at all. It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.

This patch (of 2):

MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range.  This
can cause silent memory corruptions.  Some of them even with serious
security implications.  While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range.  Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g.  arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.

Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior.  It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt.  the given address
request with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping.  We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.

The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility.  We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag.  Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt.  flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags.  On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping.  I do not see a good way around that.

locking/xchg/alpha: Add unconditional memory barrier to cmpxchg() 2018-02-21T09:12:29+00:00 Andrea Parri parri.andrea@gmail.com 2018-02-20T18:45:56+00:00 cb13b424e986aed68d74cbaec3449ea23c50e167 Continuing along with the fight against smp_read_barrier_depends() [1] (or rather, against its improper use), add an unconditional barrier to cmpxchg. This guarantees that dependency ordering is preserved when a dependency is headed by an unsuccessful cmpxchg. As it turns out, the change could enable further simplification of LKMM as proposed in [2].
