| | * posix-timers: fix posix_timer_event() vs dequeue_signal() raceOleg Nesterov2008-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was reported and analysed by Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>, the patch is based on his and Roland's suggestions. posix_timer_event() always rewrites the pre-allocated siginfo before sending the signal. Most of the written info is the same all the time, but memset(0) is very wrong. If ->sigq is queued we can race with collect_signal() which can fail to find this siginfo looking at .si_signo, or copy_siginfo() can copy the wrong .si_code/si_tid/etc. In short, sys_timer_settime() can in fact stop the active timer, or the user can receive the siginfo with the wrong .si_xxx values. Move "memset(->info, 0)" from posix_timer_event() to alloc_posix_timer(), change send_sigqueue() to set .si_overrun = 0 when ->sigq is not queued. It would be nice to move the whole sigq->info initialization from send to create path, but this is not easy to do without uglifying timer_create() further. As Roland rightly pointed out, we need more cleanups/fixes here, see the "FIXME" comment in the patch. Hopefully this patch makes sense anyway, and it can mask the most bad implications.

Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer. There is no change, only cleanup. There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace needs. There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and without locks. This is a better place for tracing work to be in the future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending(). 2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return. Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct, the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to stop. I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't very clever. If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().

Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both incomplete and unneeded at the same time. It is incomplete because nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race. Fortunately, we doesn't need the check at all. The only function which relies on SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED is do_signal_stop(), and it ignores this flag if signal_group_exit() == T, this covers the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case.

* | posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on execOleg Nesterov2008-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

* | posix timers: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queuedOleg Nesterov2008-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.

This patch doesn't touch flush_sigqueue(->shared_pending) below, it is called when there are no other threads which can play with signals, and sigqueue_free() can't be used outside of our thread group.

* 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: 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.

* signals: unify send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue completelyOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suggested by Pavel Emelyanov. send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue are only differ in how they lock ->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. Note that the "sig" argument is ignored, it is always equal to ->si_signo.

* 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.

* signals: send_sig_info: don't take tasklist_lockOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment in send_sig_info() is wrong, tasklist_lock can't help. The caller must ensure the task can't go away, otherwise ->sighand can be NULL even before we take the lock. p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible to prevent exit(), but not exec(). Since the things seem to work, I assume all callers are correct. However, drm_vbl_send_signals() looks broken. block_all_signals() which is solely used by drm is definitely broken.

Otherwise, we should fight with the nasty races with mt-exec without having any advantage.

* signals: move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal()Oleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal(). This factors out a couple of callsites and allows us to do further unifications. 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.
