[ Upstream commit 9709020c86f6bf8439ca3effc58cfca49a5de192 ]

We must not call sock_diag_has_destroy_listeners(sk) on a socket
that has no reference on net structure.

<title>sock_diag: request _diag module only when the family or proto has been registered</title>
<updated>2018-03-12T15:03:42+00:00</updated>

<id>bf2ae2e4bf9360e07c0cdfa166bcdc0afd92f4ce</id>
<content type='text'>
Now when using 'ss' in iproute, kernel would try to load all _diag
modules, which also causes corresponding family and proto modules
to be loaded as well due to module dependencies.

Like after running 'ss', sctp, dccp, af_packet (if it works as a module)
would be loaded.

For example:

  $ lsmod|grep sctp
  $ ss
  $ lsmod|grep sctp
  sctp_diag              16384  0
  sctp                  323584  5 sctp_diag
  inet_diag              24576  4 raw_diag,tcp_diag,sctp_diag,udp_diag
  libcrc32c              16384  3 nf_conntrack,nf_nat,sctp

As these family and proto modules are loaded unintentionally, it
could cause some problems, like:

- Some debug tools use 'ss' to collect the socket info, which loads all
  those diag and family and protocol modules. It's noisy for identifying
  issues.

- Users usually expect to drop sctp init packet silently when they
  have no sense of sctp protocol instead of sending abort back.

- It wastes resources (especially with multiple netns), and SCTP module
  can't be unloaded once it's loaded.

...

In short, it's really inappropriate to have these family and proto
modules loaded unexpectedly when just doing debugging with inet_diag.

This patch is to introduce sock_load_diag_module() where it loads
the _diag module only when it's corresponding family or proto has
been already registered.

Note that we can't just load _diag module without the family or
proto loaded, as some symbols used in _diag module are from the
family or proto module.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - move inet proto check to inet_diag to avoid a compiling err.
v2-&gt;v3:
  - define sock_load_diag_module in sock.c and export one symbol
    only.
  - improve the changelog.

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.

Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
 "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
  cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
  available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.

  To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
  a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
  copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
  control.

  Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
  whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
  userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
  whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
  get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
  these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

  This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
  the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.

  The series has roughly the following sections:
   - remove %p and improve reporting with offset
   - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
   - update VFS subsystem with whitelists
   - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
   - update network subsystem with whitelists
   - update process memory with whitelists

<title>Revert "defer call to mem_cgroup_sk_alloc()"</title>

<id>edbe69ef2c90fc86998a74b08319a01c508bd497</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch effectively reverts commit 9f1c2674b328 ("net: memcontrol:
defer call to mem_cgroup_sk_alloc()").

Moving mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() to the inet_csk_accept() completely breaks
memcg socket memory accounting, as packets received before memcg
pointer initialization are not accounted and are causing refcounting
underflow on socket release.

Actually the free-after-use problem was fixed by
commit c0576e397508 ("net: call cgroup_sk_alloc() earlier in
sk_clone_lock()") for the cgroup pointer.

So, let's revert it and call mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() just before
cgroup_sk_alloc(). This is safe, as we hold a reference to the socket
we're cloning, and it holds a reference to the memcg.

Also, let's drop BUG_ON(mem_cgroup_is_root()) check from
mem_cgroup_sk_alloc(). I see no reasons why bumping the root
memcg counter is a good reason to panic, and there are no realistic
ways to hit it.

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode-&gt;i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

	-               if (de-&gt;proc_fops)
	-                       inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               if (de-&gt;proc_fops) {
	+                       if (S_ISREG(inode-&gt;i_mode))

	+               }

VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

Now that protocols have been annotated (the copy of icsk_ca_ops-&gt;name
is of an ops field from outside the slab cache):

$ git grep 'copy_.*_user.*sk.*-&gt;'
caif/caif_socket.c: copy_from_user(&amp;cf_sk-&gt;conn_req.param.data, ov, ol)) {
ipv4/raw.c:   if (copy_from_user(&amp;raw_sk(sk)-&gt;filter, optval, optlen))
ipv4/raw.c:       copy_to_user(optval, &amp;raw_sk(sk)-&gt;filter, len))
ipv4/tcp.c:       if (copy_to_user(optval, icsk-&gt;icsk_ca_ops-&gt;name, len))
ipv4/tcp.c:       if (copy_to_user(optval, icsk-&gt;icsk_ulp_ops-&gt;name, len))
ipv6/raw.c:       if (copy_from_user(&amp;raw6_sk(sk)-&gt;filter, optval, optlen))
ipv6/raw.c:           if (copy_to_user(optval, &amp;raw6_sk(sk)-&gt;filter, len))
sctp/socket.c: if (copy_from_user(&amp;sctp_sk(sk)-&gt;subscribe, optval, optlen))
sctp/socket.c: if (copy_to_user(optval, &amp;sctp_sk(sk)-&gt;subscribe, len))
sctp/socket.c: if (copy_to_user(optval, &amp;sctp_sk(sk)-&gt;initmsg, len))

we can switch the default proto usercopy region to size 0. Any protocols
needing to add whitelisted regions must annotate the fields with the
useroffset and usersize fields of struct proto.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

we can switch the default proto usercopy region to size 0. Any protocols
needing to add whitelisted regions must annotate the fields with the
useroffset and usersize fields of struct proto.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
struct proto slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed.
Some protocols need to copy objects to/from userspace, and they can
declare the region via their proto structure with the new usersize and
useroffset fields. Initially, if no region is specified (usersize ==
0), the entire field is marked as whitelisted. This allows protocols
to be whitelisted in subsequent patches. Once all protocols have been
annotated, the full-whitelist default can be removed.

This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

<title>sock: Move the socket inuse to namespace.</title>

In some case, we want to know how many sockets are in use in
different _net_ namespaces. It's a key resource metric.

This patch add a member in struct netns_core. This is a counter
for socket-inuse in the _net_ namespace. The patch will add/sub
counter in the sk_alloc, sk_clone_lock and __sk_free.

This patch will not counter the socket created in kernel.
It's not very useful for userspace to know how many kernel
sockets we created.

The main reasons for doing this are that:

1. When linux calls the 'do_exit' for process to exit, the functions
'exit_task_namespaces' and 'exit_task_work' will be called sequentially.
'exit_task_namespaces' may have destroyed the _net_ namespace, but
'sock_release' called in 'exit_task_work' may use the _net_ namespace
if we counter the socket-inuse in sock_release.

2. socket and sock are in pair. More important, sock holds the _net_
namespace. We counter the socket-inuse in sock, for avoiding holding
_net_ namespace again in socket. It's a easy way to maintain the code.
