fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories

2016-04-30T22:06:04+00:00

commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream.

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()

2016-04-30T22:06:03+00:00

commit 3debb0a9ddb16526de8b456491b7db60114f7b5e upstream.

The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects
that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk()
is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger
than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has
happened).

If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something
not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes
the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not
filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed
for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the
tracing buffer.

Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will
keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string
from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is
not needed.

tracing: Fix crash from reading trace_pipe with sendfile

2016-04-30T22:06:02+00:00

commit a29054d9478d0435ab01b7544da4f674ab13f533 upstream.

If tracing contains data and the trace_pipe file is read with sendfile(),
then it can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and various BUG_ON within the
VM code.

There's a patch to fix this in the splice_to_pipe() code, but it's also a
good idea to not let that happen from trace_pipe either.

tracing: Have preempt(irqs)off trace preempt disabled functions

2016-04-30T22:06:02+00:00

commit cb86e05390debcc084cfdb0a71ed4c5dbbec517d upstream.

Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.

Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:

   <...>-2265    1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub <-irq_exit
   <...>-2265    1d..1 3419us : __do_softirq <-irq_exit
   <...>-2265    1d..1 3419us : msecs_to_jiffies <-__do_softirq

   <...>-2265    1..s1 3421us : hrtimer_run_pending <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1..s1 3421us : _raw_spin_lock_irq <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1d.s1 3422us : preempt_count_add <-_raw_spin_lock_irq
   <...>-2265    1d.s2 3422us : _raw_spin_unlock_irq <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1..s2 3422us : preempt_count_sub <-_raw_spin_unlock_irq
   <...>-2265    1..s1 3423us : rcu_bh_qs <-__do_softirq

   <...>-2265    1d.s1 3423us : __local_bh_enable <-__do_softirq

There's a comment saying that the irq disabled check is because there's a
possible race that tracing_cpu may be set when the function is executed. But
I don't remember that race. For now, I added a check for preemption being
enabled too to not record the function, as there would be no race if that
was the case. I need to re-investigate this, as I'm now thinking that the
tracing_cpu will always be correct. But no harm in keeping the check for
now, except for the slight performance hit.

sched/cputime: Fix steal_account_process_tick() to always return jiffies

2016-04-30T22:05:55+00:00

commit f9c904b7613b8b4c85b10cd6b33ad41b2843fa9d upstream.

The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return
whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not.

Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in
units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs
depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.

If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of
stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire
tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle,
causing /proc/stats to show invalid data.

The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate
the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy.

(Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for suggestions to fix a bug in my
first version of the patch.)

perf/core: Fix perf_sched_count derailment

2016-04-30T22:05:54+00:00

commit 927a5570855836e5d5859a80ce7e91e963545e8f upstream.

The error path in perf_event_open() is such that asking for a sampling
event on a PMU that doesn't generate interrupts will end up in dropping
the perf_sched_count even though it hasn't been incremented for this
event yet.

Given a sufficient amount of these calls, we'll end up disabling
scheduler's jump label even though we'd still have active events in the
system, thereby facilitating the arrival of the infernal regions upon us.

I'm fixing this by moving account_event() inside perf_event_alloc().

sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug

2016-04-30T22:05:54+00:00

commit e9532e69b8d1d1284e8ecf8d2586de34aec61244 upstream.

On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:

	 u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());

	 steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;

So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.

Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.

None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.

Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to scheduler

2016-03-30T11:02:54+00:00

commit 00df35f991914db6b8bde8cf09808e19a9cffc3d upstream.

Currently, smpboot_unpark_threads() is invoked before the incoming CPU
has been added to the scheduler's runqueue structures.  This might
potentially cause the unparked kthread to run on the wrong CPU, since the
correct CPU isn't fully set up yet.

That causes a sporadic, hard to debug boot crash triggering on some
systems, reported by Borislav Petkov, and bisected down to:

  2a442c9c6453 ("x86: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code")

This patch places smpboot_unpark_threads() in a CPU hotplug
notifier with priority set so that these kthreads are unparked just after
the CPU has been added to the runqueues.

tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

2016-03-08T12:15:30+00:00

commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 upstream.

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.

Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.

Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.

One documented way to enable all events is to:

 cat available_events > set_event

But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

 cat: write error: Invalid argument

kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()

2016-03-04T10:26:43+00:00

commit 59ceeaaf355fa0fb16558ef7c24413c804932ada upstream.

In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be
released.  A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept.  At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region.

A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for
example the conflicting resource have already been freed).  Another
problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a
remaining conflict.  The previously conflicting resource is passed as a
parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the
children of this resource and not at the resource itself.  It is likely
to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict.

Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to
__request_region().

As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the
case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.
