* ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/initOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident. The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out why it does not work as expected. However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish, ptracer has full control.

* ptrace: ptrace_attach: use send_sig_info() instead force_sig_specific()Oleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Nobody can block/ignore SIGSTOP, no need to use force_sig_specific() in ptrace_attach. Use the "regular" send_sig_info(). With this patch stracing of /sbin/init doesn't clear its SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but not that this makes ptracing of init safe.

* signals: set_restore_sigmask TIF_SIGPENDINGRoland McGrath2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Set TIF_SIGPENDING in set_restore_sigmask. This lets arch code take TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK out of the set of bits that will be noticed on return to user mode. On some machines those bits are scarce, and we can free this unneeded one up for other uses. It is probably the case that TIF_SIGPENDING is always set anyway everywhere set_restore_sigmask() is used. But this is some cheap paranoia in case there is an arcane case where it might not be.

* signals: allow the kernel to actually kill /sbin/initOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens. The kernel sends the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats the faulting instruction, and so on forever. Imho, such a behaviour is not good. I think that the explicit loud death of the buggy /sbin/init is better than the silent hang. Change force_sig_info() to clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE when the task should be really killed.

* signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signalsOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal signals. - The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver() protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread. If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader), this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have. - Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this is just wrong. Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches. Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* signals: check_kill_permission: check session under tasklist_lockOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr(). I missed this fact when removed tasklist from the callers. Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case. Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed later. Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr(). Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).

* signals: handle_stop_signal: don't worry about SIGKILLOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handle_stop_signal() clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED when sig == SIGKILL. Remove this nasty special case. It was needed to prevent the race with group stop and exit caused by thread-specific SIGKILL. Now that we use complete_signal() for private signals too this is not needed, complete_signal() will notice SIGKILL and abort the soon-to-begin group stop. Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING). But in that case we should not just clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and nothing more. We should either kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal. I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which and should be fixed separately. Note that this check can't abort the group stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop() signal and temporary released ->siglock.

Unify them. send_group_sigqueue() uses spin_lock() because it knows the task can't exit, but in that case lock_task_sighand() can't fail and doesn't hurt.

* signals: use __group_complete_signal() for the specific signals tooOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion. Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process the specific signals too. To do this we simply add the "int group" argument. This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful behaviour change. We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too. The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent. For example, currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked. And. This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.

Also, with this change specific_send_sig_info() does handle_stop_signal(). Not that this is really important, we never send STOP/CONT via send_sig() and friends, but still this looks more consistent. The only (afaics) special case is get_signal_to_deliver(). If the traced task dequeues SIGCONT, it can re-send it to itself after ptrace_stop() if the signal was blocked by debugger. In that case handle_stop_signal() is unnecessary, but hopefully not a problem.

* signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to recieverOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland. In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes running. handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop(). This leads to multiple problems: - as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler. - we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in that window. - we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT in that window. - we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT. With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED flag in p->signal->flags and returns. The notification is sent by the first task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver(). This is a user-visible change. Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child) can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed unpredictably. Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach() while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this notification. Hopefully not a problem. The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

* signals: cleanup security_task_kill() usage/implementationOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every implementation of ->task_kill() does nothing when the signal comes from the kernel. This is correct, but means that check_kill_permission() should call security_task_kill() only for SI_FROMUSER() case, and we can remove the same check from ->task_kill() implementations. (sadly, check_kill_permission() is the last user of signal->session/__session but we can't s/task_session_nr/task_session/ here). NOTE: Eric W. Biederman pointed out cap_task_kill() should die, and I think he is very right. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

* signals: consolidate send_sigqueue and send_group_sigqueuePavel Emelyanov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both functions do the same thing after proper locking, but with different sigpending structs, so move the common code into a helper. After this we have 4 places that look very similar: send_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and signal_wakeup send_group_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and __group_complete_signal __group_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and __group_complete_signal specific_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and signal_wakeup Besides, send_signal performs actions similar to do_send_sigqueue's and __group_complete_signal - to signal_wakeup. It looks like they can be consolidated gracefully. Oleg said: Personally, I think this change is very good. But send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() have a very subtle difference which I was never able to understand. Let's suppose that sigqueue is already queued, and the signal is ignored (the latter means we should re-schedule cpu timer or handle overrruns). In that case send_sigqueue() returns 0, but send_group_sigqueue() returns 1. I think this is not the problem (in fact, I think this patch makes the behaviour more correct), but I hope Thomas can take a look and confirm.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The signr variable may be declared without initialization - it is set ro the return value from __dequeue_signal() right at the function beginning. Besides, after recalc_sigpending() two checks for signr to be not 0 may be merged into one. Both if-s become easier to read.

Since ed5d2cac114202fe2978a9cbcab8f5032796d538 exec() doesn't set this flag, we should use signal_group_exit().
