audit: keep inode pinned

2015-02-02T09:05:19+00:00

commit 799b601451b21ebe7af0e6e8f6e2ccd4683c5064 upstream.

Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.

The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.

Adding any mask should fix this.

tracing/syscalls: Ignore numbers outside NR_syscalls' range

2015-02-02T09:05:09+00:00

commit 086ba77a6db00ed858ff07451bedee197df868c9 upstream.

ARM has some private syscalls (for example, set_tls(2)) which lie
outside the range of NR_syscalls.  If any of these are called while
syscall tracing is being performed, out-of-bounds array access will
occur in the ftrace and perf sys_{enter,exit} handlers.

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* true && trace-cmd report
 ...

Fix this by ignoring out-of-NR_syscalls-bounds syscall numbers.

Commit cd0980fc8add "tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls"
added the check for less than zero, but it should have also checked
for greater than NR_syscalls.

tracing/syscalls: Fix perf syscall tracing when syscall_nr == -1

2015-02-02T09:05:09+00:00

commit 60916a9382e88fbf5e54fd36a3e658efd7ab7bed upstream.

syscall_get_nr can return -1 in the case that the task is not executing
a system call.

This patch fixes perf_syscall_{enter,exit} to check that the syscall
number is valid before using it as an index into a bitmap.

PM / Sleep: fix recovery during resuming from hibernation

commit 94fb823fcb4892614f57e59601bb9d4920f24711 upstream.

If a device's dev_pm_ops::freeze callback fails during the QUIESCE
phase, we don't rollback things correctly calling the thaw and complete
callbacks. This could leave some devices in a suspended state in case of
an error during resuming from hibernation.

futex: Fix a race condition between REQUEUE_PI and task death

2015-02-02T09:05:05+00:00

commit 30a6b8031fe14031ab27c1fa3483cb9780e7f63c upstream.

free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's.
exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of
free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi doesn't, which means free_pi_state
can free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. For example:

task A                            |  task B
exit_pi_state_list                |
  pi_state =                      |
      curr->pi_state_list->next   |
                                  |  futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1)
                                  |    // pi_state is the same as
                                  |    // the one in task A
                                  |    free_pi_state(pi_state)
                                  |      list_del_init(&pi_state->list)
                                  |      kfree(pi_state)
  list_del_init(&pi_state->list)  |

Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb
locks which it's already holding.

[ tglx: Removed a pointless free_pi_state() call and the hb->lock held
  	debugging. The latter comes via a seperate patch ]

posix-timers: Fix stack info leak in timer_create()

2015-02-02T09:05:05+00:00

commit 6891c4509c792209c44ced55a60f13954cb50ef4 upstream.

If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll
create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we
use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing
a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize
sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the
size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes
from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires
and we're going to deliver the signal.

Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak.

Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend

2015-02-02T09:04:55+00:00

commit 5695be142e203167e3cb515ef86a88424f3524eb upstream.

PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.

Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.

Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.

Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
  check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
  readable as per Rafael

introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()

2015-02-02T09:04:55+00:00

commit 0c740d0afc3bff0a097ad03a1c8df92757516f5c upstream.

while_each_thread() and next_thread() should die, almost every lockless
usage is wrong.

1. Unless g == current, the lockless while_each_thread() is not safe.

   while_each_thread(g, t) can loop forever if g exits, next_thread()
   can't reach the unhashed thread in this case. Note that this can
   happen even if g is the group leader, it can exec.

2. Even if while_each_thread() itself was correct, people often use
   it wrongly.

   It was never safe to just take rcu_read_lock() and loop unless
   you verify that pid_alive(g) == T, even the first next_thread()
   can point to the already freed/reused memory.

This patch adds signal_struct->thread_head and task->thread_node to
create the normal rcu-safe list with the stable head.  The new
for_each_thread(g, t) helper is always safe under rcu_read_lock() as
long as this task_struct can't go away.

Note: of course it is ugly to have both task_struct->thread_node and the
old task_struct->thread_group, we will kill it later, after we change
the users of while_each_thread() to use for_each_thread().

Perhaps we can kill it even before we convert all users, we can
reimplement next_thread(t) using the new thread_head/thread_node.  But
we can't do this right now because this will lead to subtle behavioural
changes.  For example, do/while_each_thread() always sees at least one
task, while for_each_thread() can do nothing if the whole thread group
has died.  Or thread_group_empty(), currently its semantics is not clear
unless thread_group_leader(p) and we need to audit the callers before we
can change it.

So this patch adds the new interface which has to coexist with the old
one for some time, hopefully the next changes will be more or less
straightforward and the old one will go away soon.

kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): unify CLONE_THREAD-or-thread_group_leader code

2015-02-02T09:04:55+00:00

commit 80628ca06c5d42929de6bc22c0a41589a834d151 upstream.

Cleanup and preparation for the next changes.

Move the "if (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)" code down under "if
(likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch.  This makes the
process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check.

freezer: Do not freeze tasks killed by OOM killer

2015-02-02T09:04:54+00:00

commit 51fae6da640edf9d266c94f36bc806c63c301991 upstream.

Since f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen
before deferring) OOM killer relies on being able to thaw a frozen task
to handle OOM situation but a3201227f803 (freezer: make freezing() test
freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE) has reorganized the
code and stopped clearing freeze flag in __thaw_task. This means that
the target task only wakes up and goes into the fridge again because the
freezing condition hasn't changed for it. This reintroduces the bug
fixed by f660daac474c6f.

Fix the issue by checking for TIF_MEMDIE thread flag in
freezing_slow_path and exclude the task from freezing completely. If a
task was already frozen it would get woken by __thaw_task from OOM killer
and get out of freezer after rechecking freezing().

Changes since v1
- put TIF_MEMDIE check into freezing_slowpath rather than in __refrigerator
  as per Oleg
- return __thaw_task into oom_scan_process_thread because
  oom_kill_process will not wake task in the fridge because it is
  sleeping uninterruptible
