mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-21T13:42:43+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

sparc64: fix incorrect sign extension in sys_sparc64_personality

2016-03-03T23:06:23+00:00

commit 525fd5a94e1be0776fa652df5c687697db508c91 upstream.

The value returned by sys_personality has type "long int".
It is saved to a variable of type "int", which is not a problem
yet because the type of task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int".
The problem is the sign extension from "int" to "long int"
that happens on return from sys_sparc64_personality.

For example, a userspace call personality((unsigned) -EINVAL) will
result to any subsequent personality call, including absolutely
harmless read-only personality(0xffffffff) call, failing with
errno set to EINVAL.

sparc64: Fix userspace FPU register corruptions.

2015-08-17T03:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 44922150d87cef616fd183220d43d8fde4d41390 ]

If we have a series of events from userpsace, with %fprs=FPRS_FEF,
like follows:

ETRAP
	ETRAP
		VIS_ENTRY(fprs=0x4)
		VIS_EXIT
		RTRAP (kernel FPU restore with fpu_saved=0x4)
	RTRAP

We will not restore the user registers that were clobbered by the FPU
using kernel code in the inner-most trap.

Traps allocate FPU save slots in the thread struct, and FPU using
sequences save the "dirty" FPU registers only.

This works at the initial trap level because all of the registers
get recorded into the top-level FPU save area, and we'll return
to userspace with the FPU disabled so that any FPU use by the user
will take an FPU disabled trap wherein we'll load the registers
back up properly.

But this is not how trap returns from kernel to kernel operate.

The simplest fix for this bug is to always save all FPU register state
for anything other than the top-most FPU save area.

Getting rid of the optimized inner-slot FPU saving code ends up
making VISEntryHalf degenerate into plain VISEntry.

Longer term we need to do something smarter to reinstate the partial
save optimizations.  Perhaps the fundament error is having trap entry
and exit allocate FPU save slots and restore register state.  Instead,
the VISEntry et al. calls should be doing that work.

This bug is about two decades old.

sparc64: Fix FPU register corruption with AES crypto offload.

2015-08-17T03:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4da3628dc7c32a59d1fb7116bb042e6f436d611 ]

The AES loops in arch/sparc/crypto/aes_glue.c use a scheme where the
key material is preloaded into the FPU registers, and then we loop
over and over doing the crypt operation, reusing those pre-cooked key
registers.

There are intervening blkcipher*() calls between the crypt operation
calls.  And those might perform memcpy() and thus also try to use the
FPU.

The sparc64 kernel FPU usage mechanism is designed to allow such
recursive uses, but with a catch.

There has to be a trap between the two FPU using threads of control.

The mechanism works by, when the FPU is already in use by the kernel,
allocating a slot for FPU saving at trap time.  Then if, within the
trap handler, we try to use the FPU registers, the pre-trap FPU
register state is saved into the slot.  Then at trap return time we
notice this and restore the pre-trap FPU state.

Over the long term there are various more involved ways we can make
this work, but for a quick fix let's take advantage of the fact that
the situation where this happens is very limited.

All sparc64 chips that support the crypto instructiosn also are using
the Niagara4 memcpy routine, and that routine only uses the FPU for
large copies where we can't get the source aligned properly to a
multiple of 8 bytes.

We look to see if the FPU is already in use in this context, and if so
we use the non-large copy path which only uses integer registers.

Furthermore, we also limit this special logic to when we are doing
kernel copy, rather than a user copy.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-04-29T08:34:00+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
