* | [PATCH] coredump: shutdown current process firstOleg Nesterov2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimizes zap_threads() for the case when there are no ->mm users except the current's thread group. In that case we can avoid 'for_each_process()' loop. It also adds a useful invariant: SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT (if checked under ->siglock) always implies that all threads (except may be current) have pending SIGKILL.

* | [PATCH] coredump: don't take tasklist_lockOleg Nesterov2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes tasklist_lock from zap_threads(). This is safe wrt: do_exit: The caller holds mm->mmap_sem. This means that task which shares the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm(), so it can't be unhashed from init_task.tasks or ->thread_group lists. fork: None of sub-threads can fork after zap_process(leader). All processes which were created before this point should be visible to zap_threads() because copy_process() adds the new process to the tail of init_task.tasks list, and ->siglock lock/unlock provides a memory barrier. de_thread: It does list_replace_rcu(&leader->tasks, &current->tasks). So zap_threads() will see either old or new leader, it does not matter. However, it can change p->sighand, so we should use lock_task_sighand() in zap_process().

* | [PATCH] coredump: optimize ->mm users traversalOleg Nesterov2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which share current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same ->mm, so we can skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm. This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but it is used in further patches.

* | [PATCH] SELinux: Add sockcreate node to procattr APIEric Paris2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Below is a patch to add a new /proc/self/attr/sockcreate A process may write a context into this interface and all subsequent sockets created will be labeled with that context. This is the same idea as the fscreate interface where a process can specify the label of a file about to be created. At this time one envisioned user of this will be xinetd. It will be able to better label sockets for the actual services. At this time all sockets take the label of the creating process, so all xinitd sockets would just be labeled the same. I tested this by creating a tcp sender and listener. The sender was able to write to this new proc file and then create sockets with the specified label. I am able to be sure the new label was used since the avc denial messages kicked out by the kernel included both the new security permission setsockcreate and all the socket denials were for the new label, not the label of the running process.

* | [PATCH] proc: Cleanup proc_fd_access_allowedEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In process of getting proc_fd_access_allowed to work it has developed a few warts. In particular the special case that always allows introspection and the special case to allow inspection of kernel threads. The special case for introspection is needed for /proc/self/mem. The special case for kernel threads really should be overridable by security modules. So consolidate these checks into ptrace.c:may_attach(). The check to always allow introspection is trivial. The check to allow access to kernel threads, and zombies is a little trickier. mem_read and mem_write already verify an mm exists so it isn't needed twice. proc_fd_access_allowed only doesn't want a check to verify task->mm exits, s it prevents all access to kernel threads. So just move the task->mm check into ptrace_attach where it is needed for practical reasons. I did a quick audit and none of the security modules in the kernel seem to care if they are passed a task without an mm into security_ptrace. So the above move should be safe and it allows security modules to come up with more restrictive policy. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] proc: Use sane permission checks on the /proc/<pid>/fd/ symlinksEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2.2 we have been doing a chroot check to see if it is appropriate to return a read or follow one of these magic symlinks. The chroot check was asking a question about the visibility of files to the calling process and it was actually checking the destination process, and not the files themselves. That test was clearly bogus. In my first pass through I simply fixed the test to check the visibility of the files themselves. That naive approach to fixing the permissions was too strict and resulted in cases where a task could not even see all of it's file descriptors. What has disturbed me about relaxing this check is that file descriptors are per-process private things, and they are occasionaly used a user space capability tokens. Looking a little farther into the symlink path on /proc I did find userid checks and a check for capability (CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE) so there were permissions checking this. But I was still concerned about privacy. Besides /proc there is only one other way to find out this kind of information, and that is ptrace. ptrace has been around for a long time and it has a well established security model. So after thinking about it I finally realized that the permission checks that make sense are the permission checks applied to ptrace_attach. The checks are simple per process, and won't cause nasty surprises for people coming from less capable unices. Unfortunately there is one case that the current ptrace_attach test does not cover: Zombies and kernel threads. Single stepping those kinds of processes is impossible. Being able to see which file descriptors are open on these tasks is important to lsof, fuser and friends. So for these special processes I made the rule you can't find out unless you have CAP_SYS_PTRACE. These proc permission checks should now conform to the principle of least surprise.

* | [PATCH] proc: optimize proc_check_dentry_visibleEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code doesn't need to sleep to when making this check so I can just do the comparison and not worry about the reference counts. TODO: While looking at this I realized that my original cleanup did not push the permission check far enough down into the stack. The call of proc_check_dentry_visible needs to move out of the generic proc readlink/follow link code and into the individual get_link instances. Otherwise the shared resources checks are not quite correct (shared files_struct does not require a shared fs_struct), and there are races with unshare. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every inode in /proc holds a reference to a struct task_struct. If a directory or file is opened and remains open after the the task exits this pinning continues. With 8K stacks on a 32bit machine the amount pinned per file descriptor is about 10K. Normally I would figure a reasonable per user process limit is about 100 processes. With 80 processes, with a 1000 file descriptors each I can trigger the 00M killer on a 32bit kernel, because I have pinned about 800MB of useless data. This patch replaces the struct task_struct pointer with a pointer to a struct task_ref which has a struct task_struct pointer. The so the pinning of dead tasks does not happen. The code now has to contend with the fact that the task may now exit at any time. Which is a little but not muh more complicated. With this change it takes about 1000 processes each opening up 1000 file descriptors before I can trigger the OOM killer. Much better. [mlp@google.com: task_mmu small fixes] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This patch addresses that by changing how tasks are processed. A first_<task_type> function is built that handles restarts, and a next_<task_type> function is built that just advances to the next task. first_<task_type> when it detects a restart usually uses find_task_by_pid. If that doesn't work because there has been a seek on the directory, or we have already given a complete directory listing, it first checks the number tasks of that type, and only if we are under that count does it walk through all of the tasks to find the one we are interested in. The code that fills in the directory is simpler because there is only a single for loop. The hand rolled integer to string conversion is replaced by snprintf which should handle the the out of buffer case correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | proc_lookup and task exiting are not synchronized, although some of the previous code may have suggested that. Every time before we reuse a dentry namei.c calls d_op->derevalidate which prevents us from reusing a stale dcache entry. Unfortunately it does not prevent us from returning a stale dcache entry. This race has been explicitly plugged in proc_pid_lookup but there is nothing to confine it to just that proc lookup function. So to prevent the race I call revalidate explictily in all of the proc lookup functions after I call d_add, and report an error if the revalidate does not succeed.

I have rewritten this code to look and see if we have a corresponding entry in the dcache and if so flush it on process exit. This removes the extra fields in the task_struct and allows me to trivially handle the case of a /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> entry as well as the current /proc/<pid> entries. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

The fixes came in but only to keep the function working no one really remembering or documenting why we did things that way. The intent and the functionality make a lot of sense. Don't let /proc be an access point for files a process can see no other way. The implementation however is completely wrong. We are currently checking the root directories of the two processes, we are not checking the actual file descriptors themselves. We are strangely checking with a permission method instead of just when we use the data. This patch fixes the logic to actually check the file descriptors and make a note that implementing a permission method for this part of /proc almost certainly indicates a bug in the reasoning.

* | [PATCH] proc: Kill proc_mem_inode_operationsEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode operations only exist to support the proc_permission function. Currently mem_read and mem_write have all the same permission checks as ptrace. The fs check makes no sense in this context, and we can trivially get around it by calling ptrace. So simply the code by killing the strange weird case. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First we can access every /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> directory as /proc/<pid> so proc_task_permission is not usefully limiting visibility.

* | [PATCH] proc: Replace proc_inode.type with proc_inode.fdEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sole renaming use of proc_inode.type is to discover the file descriptor number, so just store the file descriptor number and don't wory about processing this field. This removes any /proc limits on the maximum number of file descriptors, and clears the path to make the hard coded /proc inode numbers go away. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] proc: Simplify the ownership rules for /procEric W. Biederman2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in /proc if the task is dumpable all of files are owned by the tasks effective users. Otherwise the files are owned by root. Unless it is the /proc/<tgid>/ or /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> directory in that case we always make the directory owned by the effective user. However the special case for directories is pointless except as a way to read the effective user, because the permissions on both of those directories are world readable, and executable. /proc/<tgid>/status provides a much better way to read a processes effecitve userid, so it is silly to try to provide that on the directory. So this patch simplifies the code by removing a pointless special case and gets us one step closer to being able to remove the hard coded /proc inode numbers. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] nfsd kconfig: select things at the closest tristate instead of boolHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed recently that my CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5 turned into a y again instead of m. It turns out that CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is selecting it to be y even though I've chosen to compile nfsd as a module. In general when we have a bool sitting under a tristate it is better to select things you need from the tristate rather than the bool since that allows the things you select to be modules. The following patch does it for nfsd.

Update the flask headers to include a new "create" permission for keys. Use the create permission to restrict which SIDs each task can assign to newly-created keys. Add a new parameter to the security hook "security_key_alloc" to indicate whether it is being invoked by the kernel, or from userspace. If it is being invoked by the kernel, the security hook should never fail. Update the documentation to reflect these changes.
