x86/mpx: Move bd_addr to mm_context_t

2016-12-17T11:29:56+00:00

Currently bd_addr lives in mm_struct, which is otherwise architecture
independent. Architecture-specific data is supposed to live within
mm_context_t (itself contained in mm_struct).

Other x86-specific context like the pkey accounting data lives in
mm_context_t, and there's no readon the MPX data can't also live there.
So as to keep the arch-specific data togather, and to set a good example
for others, this patch moves bd_addr into x86's mm_context_t.

mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks

2016-11-22T17:49:48+00:00

During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is
not readable by the user executing the file.  A bug in
ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to
enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER),
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER).

This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding
a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so
it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in
to be able to safely give read permission to the executable.

The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer
has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task->mm->user_ns instead of task->cred->user_ns.
This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate
user namespace it does not become ptraceable.

The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when
CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task->mm->user_ns.  The intent of
PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes
the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for
it not to be an issue.  task->cred->user_ns is always the same
as or descendent of mm->user_ns.  Which guarantees that having
CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm->user_ns is the worst case for the tasks
credentials.

To prevent regressions mm->dumpable and mm->user_ns are not considered
when a task has no mm.  As simply failing ptrace_may_attach causes
regressions in privileged applications attempting to read things
such as /proc//stat

More over commit a79e53d85683 ("x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock") was
explicit about pgd_lock not to be called from the irq context.  This
means that __mmdrop called from free_signal_struct has to be postponed
to a user context.  We already have a similar mechanism for mmput_async
so we can use it here as well.  This is safe because mm_count is pinned
by mm_users.

This fixes bug introduced by "oom: keep mm of the killed task available"

mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node

2016-07-28T23:07:41+00:00

Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking.  This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review.  It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

mm: clean up non-standard page->_mapcount users

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

 - Add a proper comment to page->_mapcount.

 - Introduce a macro for generating helper functions.

 - Place all special page->_mapcount values next to each other so that
   readers can see all possible values and so we don't get duplicates.

mm: remove pointless struct in struct page definition

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

This patchset implements per kmemcg accounting of page tables
(x86-only), pipe buffers, and unix socket buffers.

Patches 1-3 are just cleanups that are not supposed to introduce any
functional changes.  Patches 4 and 5 move charge/uncharge to generic
page allocator paths for the sake of accounting pipe and unix socket
buffers.  Patches 5-7 make x86 page tables, pipe buffers, and unix
socket buffers accountable.

This patch (of 8):

... to reduce indentation level thus leaving more space for comments.

x86/vdso: Add mremap hook to vm_special_mapping

2016-07-08T12:17:51+00:00

Add possibility for 32-bit user-space applications to move
the vDSO mapping.

Previously, when a user-space app called mremap() for the vDSO
address, in the syscall return path it would land on the previous
address of the vDSOpage, resulting in segmentation violation.

Now it lands fine and returns to userspace with a remapped vDSO.

This will also fix the context.vdso pointer for 64-bit, which does
not affect the user of vDSO after mremap() currently, but this
may change in the future.

As suggested by Andy, return -EINVAL for mremap() that would
split the vDSO image: that operation cannot possibly result in
a working system so reject it.

Renamed and moved the text_mapping structure declaration inside
map_vdso(), as it used only there and now it complements the
vvar_mapping variable.

There is still a problem for remapping the vDSO in glibc
applications: the linker relocates addresses for syscalls
on the vDSO page, so you need to relink with the new
addresses.

Without that the next syscall through glibc may fail:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  #0  0xf7fd9b80 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
  #1  0xf7ec8238 in _exit () from /usr/lib32/libc.so.6

mm: oom_reaper: remove some bloat

mmput_async is currently used only from the oom_reaper which is defined
only for CONFIG_MMU.  We can save work_struct in mm_struct for
!CONFIG_MMU.

mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper context

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
for another party (e.g.  exit_aio waits for an IO).  If that happens the
oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
next oom victim.  We should strive for making this context as reliable
and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.

Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
(WQ) context.  This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
bind too much memory anymore.  The only exception is when mmap_sem
trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.

The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.
