Make sure to return a proper negative error code from copy_process()
when anon_inode_getfile() fails with CLONE_PIDFD.
Otherwise _do_fork() will not detect an error and get_task_pid() will

<title>fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk-&gt;stack</title>

Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on
memcg charge fail") corrected two instances, but there was a third
instance of this bug.

Without setting tsk-&gt;stack, if memcg_charge_kernel_stack fails, it'll
execute free_thread_stack() on a dangling pointer.

Enterprise kernels are compiled with VMAP_STACK=y so this isn't
critical, but custom VMAP_STACK=n builds should have some performance
advantage, with the drawback of risking to fail fork because compaction
didn't succeed.  So as long as VMAP_STACK=n is a supported option it's
worth fixing it upstream.

anon_inode_getfd() should be used *ONLY* in situations when we are
guaranteed to be past the last failure point (including copying the
descriptor number to userland, at that).  And ksys_close() should
not be used for cleanups at all.

anon_inode_getfile() is there for all nontrivial cases like that.
Just use that...

<title>fork: don't check parent_tidptr with CLONE_PIDFD</title>

<id>9014143bab2f3bc0b9e5db3bc8d00e2a43e50fbd</id>
<content type='text'>
Give userspace a cheap and reliable way to tell whether CLONE_PIDFD is
supported by the kernel or not. The easiest way is to pass an invalid
file descriptor value in parent_tidptr, perform the syscall and verify
that parent_tidptr has been changed to a valid file descriptor value.

CLONE_PIDFD uses parent_tidptr to return pidfds. CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
will use parent_tidptr to return the tid of the parent. The two flags
cannot be used together. Old kernels that only support
CLONE_PARENT_SETTID will not verify the value pointed to by
parent_tidptr. This behavior is unchanged even with the introduction of
CLONE_PIDFD.
However, if CLONE_PIDFD is specified the kernel will currently check the
value pointed to by parent_tidptr before placing the pidfd in the memory
pointed to. EINVAL will be returned if the value in parent_tidptr is not
0.

If CLONE_PIDFD is supported and fd 0 is closed, then the returned pidfd
can and likely will be 0 and parent_tidptr will be unchanged. This means
userspace must either check CLONE_PIDFD support beforehand or check that
fd 0 is not closed when invoking CLONE_PIDFD.

The check for pidfd == 0 was introduced during the v5.2 merge window by
commit b3e583825266 ("clone: add CLONE_PIDFD") to ensure that
CLONE_PIDFD could be potentially extended by passing in flags through
the return argument.

However, that extension would look horrible, and with the upcoming
introduction of the clone3 syscall in v5.3 there is no need to extend
legacy clone syscall this way. (Even if it would need to be extended,
CLONE_DETACHED can be reused with CLONE_PIDFD.)

So remove the pidfd == 0 check. Userspace that needs to be portable to
kernels without CLONE_PIDFD support can then be advised to initialize
pidfd to -1 and check the pidfd value returned by CLONE_PIDFD.

The name clear_all_latency_tracing is misleading, in fact which only
clear per task's latency_record[], and we do have another function named
clear_global_latency_tracing which clear the global latency_record[]
buffer.

<title>userfaultfd: use RCU to free the task struct when fork fails</title>

The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds
rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm-&gt;owner.

  get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()                failing fork()
  ----                                    ---
  task = mm-&gt;owner
                                          mm-&gt;owner = NULL;
                                          free(task)
  if (task) *task; /* use after free */

The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure
case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path.  That
is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()
(left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing
the task structure.

An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the
userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to
succeed.  Such a change would require more changes because it would
create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to
be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be
safe.  This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code
to set mm-&gt;owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by
mm-&gt;owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing.  The userfaultfd methods
can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor
will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland.

This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build
time.

<title>fork: do not release lock that wasn't taken</title>

Avoid calling cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() without having called
cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() first.

During process creation we need to check whether the cgroup we are in
allows us to fork. To perform this check the cgroup needs to guard itself
against threadgroup changes and takes a lock.
Prior to CLONE_PIDFD the cleanup target "bad_fork_free_pid" would also need
to call cgroup_threadgroup_change_end() because said lock had already been
taken.
However, this is not the case anymore with the addition of CLONE_PIDFD. We
are now allocating a pidfd before we check whether the cgroup we're in can
fork and thus prior to taking the lock. So when copy_process() fails at the
right step it would release a lock we haven't taken.
This bug is not even very subtle to be honest. It's just not very clear
from the naming of cgroup_threadgroup_change_{begin,end}() that a lock is
taken.

Here's the relevant splat:

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "This includes Roman's cgroup2 freezer implementation.

  It's a separate machanism from cgroup1 freezer. Instead of blocking
  user tasks in arbitrary uninterruptible sleeps, the new implementation
  extends jobctl stop - frozen tasks are trapped in jobctl stop until
  thawed and can be killed and ptraced. Lots of thanks to Oleg for
  sheperding the effort.

  Other than that, there are a few trivial changes"

* 'for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cgroup: never call do_group_exit() with task-&gt;frozen bit set
  kernel: cgroup: fix misuse of %x
  cgroup: get rid of cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit()
  cgroup: prevent spurious transition into non-frozen state
  cgroup: Remove unused cgrp variable
  cgroup: document cgroup v2 freezer interface
  cgroup: add tracing points for cgroup v2 freezer
  cgroup: make TRACE_CGROUP_PATH irq-safe
  kselftests: cgroup: add freezer controller self-tests
  kselftests: cgroup: don't fail on cg_kill_all() error in cg_destroy()
  cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer
  cgroup: protect cgroup-&gt;nr_(dying_)descendants by css_set_lock
  cgroup: implement __cgroup_task_count() helper
  cgroup: rename freezer.c into legacy_freezer.c
  cgroup: remove extra cgroup_migrate_finish() call
