Revert "ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()"

2017-02-10T10:03:58+00:00

This reverts commit 901f6fedc5340d66e2ca67c70dfee926cb5a1ea0
(upstream commit 6d07b68ce16ae9535955ba2059dedba5309c3ca1).

As suggested in commit 5864a2fd3088db73d47942370d0f7210a807b9bc
(ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race) since it introduces
a regression and the candidate fix requires too many changes for 3.10.

ipc/sem.c: update/correct memory barriers

2015-09-13T16:07:59+00:00

commit 3ed1f8a99d70ea1cd1508910eb107d0edcae5009 upstream.

sem_lock() did not properly pair memory barriers:

!spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() are both only control barriers.
The code needs an acquire barrier, otherwise the cpu might perform read
operations before the lock test.

As no primitive exists inside  and since it seems
noone wants another primitive, the code creates a local primitive within
ipc/sem.c.

With regards to -stable:

The change of sem_wait_array() is a bugfix, the change to sem_lock() is a
nop (just a preprocessor redefinition to improve the readability).  The
bugfix is necessary for all kernels that use sem_wait_array() (i.e.:
starting from 3.10).

ipc,sem: fix use after free on IPC_RMID after a task using same semaphore set exits

2015-09-13T16:07:58+00:00

commit 602b8593d2b4138c10e922eeaafe306f6b51817b upstream.

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un->semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID

2013-12-04T18:56:12+00:00

commit 6e224f94597842c5eb17f1fc2208d20b6f7f7d49 upstream.

After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.

 - semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
   should be ok: all lists are empty)

 - semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
   access memory after free.

The patch also:
 - standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
   function leave the function with the same approach.
 - unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
   sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
   tested twice.

Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").

The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.

ipc/sem.c: update sem_otime for all operations

2013-10-18T14:45:48+00:00

commit 0e8c665699e953fa58dc1b0b0d09e5dce7343cc7 upstream.

In commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the
spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time)
was moved to one central position (do_smart_update).

But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify
the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime
anymore.

The fix is simple:
Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

ipc/sem.c: synchronize the proc interface

2013-10-18T14:45:48+00:00

commit d8c633766ad88527f25d9f81a5c2f083d78a2b39 upstream.

The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly.  This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface.  Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires
a proper synchronization.

But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.

ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()

2013-10-18T14:45:48+00:00

commit 6d07b68ce16ae9535955ba2059dedba5309c3ca1 upstream.

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing.  Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.

If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock()

2013-10-18T14:45:48+00:00

commit 5e9d527591421ccdb16acb8c23662231135d8686 upstream.

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count.  The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race.  Details are below.

The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith.  It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.

I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.

The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.

Details of the bug:

Assume:
 - sma->complex_count = 0.
 - Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
 - Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).

Pseudo-Trace:

ipc: fix race with LSMs

2013-10-18T14:45:48+00:00

commit 53dad6d3a8e5ac1af8bacc6ac2134ae1a8b085f1 upstream.

Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
RCU.  However, since security modules can free the security structure,
for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
creating a use-after-free condition.  Manfred illustrates this nicely,
for instance with shared mem and selinux:

 -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
 -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
     Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
     Then it returns.
 -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
 -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
 -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security

shm_close()
 -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
 -> shm_close calls shm_destroy
 -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
 -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
 -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)

This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
readers are done.  Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
kept.  Linus states:

 "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
  security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
  various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
  _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."

I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server.  In both cases selinux is
enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything
we weren't aware of.

ipc: rename ids->rw_mutex

2013-10-18T14:45:47+00:00

commit d9a605e40b1376eb02b067d7690580255a0df68f upstream.

Since in some situations the lock can be shared for readers, we shouldn't
be calling it a mutex, rename it to rwsem.
