From 4f365e7a5d448dab7e0bb56ed32ff2bfddd134bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Christian Brauner (Amutable)" Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 23:48:52 +0200 Subject: sched/coredump: introduce enum task_dumpable Replace the SUID_DUMP_DISABLE/USER/ROOT preprocessor constants with enum task_dumpable. Numeric values are preserved (kernel.suid_dumpable sysctl and prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE) ABI), so this is a pure rename with no behavioral change. Subsequent commits relocate dumpability onto a per-task structure where the enum type will allow stronger type-checking on the new API.

It lives on mm_struct today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task itself is reaped. exec_state is anchored to the execve() that established the current privilege domain. CLONE_VM siblings refcount-share the parent's exec_state via copy_exec_state(); non-CLONE_VM clones allocate a fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns reference via task_exec_state_copy(). execve() allocates a fresh instance (via alloc_task_exec_state() in begin_new_exec()) and installs it under task_lock + exec_update_lock with task_exec_state_replace(). init_task uses a static instance. The dumpable mode now lives on task->exec_state->dumpable. task->mm->flags no longer carries dumpability; MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK is removed, but MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* bit positions remain stable for the /proc//coredump_filter ABI. The task->user_dumpable cache bit and its assignment in exit_mm() are removed; readers go through get_dumpable(task) directly. coredump_params gains a snapshot field cprm.dumpable, populated from get_dumpable(current) at vfs_coredump() entry, replacing the previous __get_dumpable(cprm->mm_flags) consumers in fs/coredump.c and fs/pidfs.c. The user namespace recorded at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and by /proc/PID/* owner derivation. Move the captured user_ns onto task_exec_state, which stays attached to the task past exit_mm() and across exit_files(). bprm grows a user_ns field staged in bprm_mm_init() with the caller's user_ns, narrowed by would_dump() to the closest privileged ancestor, and consumed by exec_mmap() via alloc_task_exec_state(bprm->user_ns). free_bprm() releases the staging reference. mm_struct loses ->user_ns entirely. Initializers in init-mm, efi_mm, and the implicit one in mm_init()/dup_mm()/mm_alloc() are removed; __mmdrop() drops the matching put_user_ns(). The kthread_use_mm() WARN_ON_ONCE(!mm->user_ns) is no longer meaningful and goes too.
