commit 5ec27ec735ba0477d48c80561cc5e856f0c5dfaf upstream.

Normally, the inode's i_uid/i_gid are translated relative to s_user_ns,
but this is not a correct behavior for proc.  Since sysctl permission
check in test_perm is done against GLOBAL_ROOT_[UG]ID, it makes more
sense to use these values in u_[ug]id of proc inodes.  In other words:
although uid/gid in the inode is not read during test_perm, the inode
logically belongs to the root of the namespace.  I have confirmed this
with Eric Biederman at LPC and in this thread:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87k1kzjdff.fsf@xmission.com

Consequences
============

Since the i_[ug]id values of proc nodes are not used for permissions
checks, this change usually makes no functional difference.  However, it
causes an issue in a setup where:

 * a namespace container is created without root user in container -
   hence the i_[ug]id of proc nodes are set to INVALID_[UG]ID

 * container creator tries to configure it by writing /proc/sys files,
   e.g. writing /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax to configure shared memory limit

Kernel does not allow to open an inode for writing if its i_[ug]id are
invalid, making it impossible to write shmmax and thus - configure the
container.

Using a container with no root mapping is apparently rare, but we do use
this configuration at Google.  Also, we use a generic tool to configure
the container limits, and the inability to write any of them causes a
failure.

History
=======

The invalid uids/gids in inodes first appeared due to 81754357770e (fs:
Update i_[ug]id_(read|write) to translate relative to s_user_ns).
However, AFAIK, this did not immediately cause any issues.  The
inability to write to these "invalid" inodes was only caused by a later
commit 0bd23d09b874 (vfs: Don't modify inodes with a uid or gid unknown
to the vfs).

Tested: Used a repro program that creates a user namespace without any
mapping and stat'ed /proc/$PID/root/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax from outside.
Before the change, it shows the overflow uid, with the change it's 0.
The overflow uid indicates that the uid in the inode is not correct and
thus it is not possible to open the file for writing.

0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat")
stopped reporting eip/esp and fd7d56270b52 ("fs/proc: Report eip/esp in
/prod/PID/stat for coredumping") reintroduced the feature to fix a
regression with userspace core dump handlers (such as minicoredumper).

Because PF_DUMPCORE is only set for the primary thread, this didn't fix
the original problem for secondary threads.  Allow reporting the eip/esp
for all threads by checking for PF_EXITING as well.  This is set for all
the other threads when they are killed.  coredump_wait() waits for all the
tasks to become inactive before proceeding to invoke a core dumper.

Remove the d_is_dir() check from tgid_pidfd_to_pid().

It is pointless since you should never get &amp;proc_tgid_base_operations
for f_op on a non-directory.

This updates each existing invalidation to use the correct mmu notifier
event that represent what is happening to the CPU page table.  See the
patch which introduced the events to see the rational behind this.

This updates each existing invalidation to use the correct mmu notifier
event that represent what is happening to the CPU page table.  See the
patch which introduced the events to see the rational behind this.

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).

Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them.  While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.

This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma).  Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.

The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens.  A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.

This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:
