ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and cdev

2020-01-04T18:13:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e ]

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:

ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &
[1] 670
opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s...
ts# rmmod ptp_kvm
ts# ls /dev/ptp*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory
ts# ...woken up

This happens in:

static void __fput(struct file *file)
{   ...
    if (file->f_op->release)
        file->f_op->release(inode, file); <<< cdev is kfree'd here
    if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) && inode->i_cdev != NULL &&
             !(mode & FMODE_PATH))) {
        cdev_put(inode->i_cdev); <<< cdev fields are accessed here

Namely:

__fput()
  posix_clock_release()
    kref_put(&clk->kref, delete_clock) <<< the last reference
      delete_clock()
        delete_ptp_clock()
          kfree(ptp) <<< cdev is embedded in ptp
  cdev_put
    module_put(p->owner) <<< *p is kfree'd, bang!

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.

Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.

This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Merge branch 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2018-01-31T01:58:07+00:00

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

posix-timers: Prevent UB from shifting negative signed value

2018-01-04T13:57:10+00:00

Shifting a negative signed number is undefined behavior. Looking at the
macros MAKE_PROCESS_CPUCLOCK and FD_TO_CLOCKID, it seems that the
subexpression:

(~(clockid_t) (pid) << 3)

where clockid_t resolves to a signed int, which once negated, is
undefined behavior to shift the value of if the results thus far are
negative.

It was further suggested to make these macros into inline functions.

posix-clocks: Remove interval timer facility and mmap/fasync callbacks

2017-06-04T13:40:22+00:00

The only user of this facility is ptp_clock, which does not implement any of
those functions.

Remove them to prevent accidental users. Especially the interval timer
interfaces are now more or less impossible to implement because the
necessary infrastructure has been confined to the core code. Aside of that
it's really complex to make these callbacks implemented according to spec
as the alarm timer implementation demonstrates. If at all then a nanosleep
callback might be a reasonable extension. For now keep just what ptp_clock
needs.

posix-timers: Make posix_clocks immutable

2017-05-27T07:46:35+00:00

There are no more modular users providing a posix clock. The register
function is now pointless so the posix clock array can be initialized
statically at compile time and the array including the various k_clock
structs can be marked 'const'.

Inspired by changes in the Grsecurity patch set, but done proper.

time: Change k_clock timer_set() and timer_get() to use timespec64

2017-04-14T19:49:56+00:00

struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines.  Replace uses of
struct timespec with struct timespec64 in the kernel.

struct itimerspec internally uses struct timespec.  Use struct itimerspec64
which uses struct timespec64.

The syscall interfaces themselves will be changed in a separate series.
