git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman: "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I found several instances where the code is not using the existing abstractions properly. This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of the existing abstractions that I found. A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL). In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build." * 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (23 commits) soc: ti: fix wkup_m3_rproc_boot_thread return type signal: Add SA_IMMUTABLE to ensure forced siganls do not get changed signal: Replace force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) with force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) exit/r8188eu: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8712: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8723bs: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 signal/x86: In emulate_vsyscall force a signal instead of calling do_exit signal/sparc32: In setup_rt_frame and setup_fram use force_fatal_sig signal/sparc32: Exit with a fatal signal when try_to_clear_window_buffer fails exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure signal: Implement force_fatal_sig exit/kthread: Have kernel threads return instead of calling do_exit signal/s390: Use force_sigsegv in default_trap_handler signal/vm86_32: Properly send SIGSEGV when the vm86 state cannot be saved. signal/vm86_32: Replace open coded BUG_ON with an actual BUG_ON signal/sparc: In setup_tsb_params convert open coded BUG into BUG signal/powerpc: On swapcontext failure force SIGSEGV signal/sh: Use force_sig(SIGKILL) instead of do_group_exit(SIGKILL) signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULT signal/sparc32: Remove unreachable do_exit in do_sparc_fault ...

Now that force_fatal_sig exists it is unnecessary and a bit confusing to use force_sigsegv in cases where the simpler force_fatal_sig is wanted.

2021-10-06exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_stateEric W. Biederman
Prevent exec continuing when a fatal signal is pending by replacing mmap_read_lock with mmap_read_lock_killable. This is always the right thing to do as userspace will never observe an exec complete when there is a fatal signal pending. With that change it becomes unnecessary to explicitly test for a core dump in progress. In coredump_wait zap_threads arranges under mmap_write_lock for all tasks that use a mm to also have SIGKILL pending, which means mmap_read_lock_killable will always return -EINTR when old_mm->core_state is present.

find_vma() and variants need protection when used. This patch adds mmap_assert_lock() calls in the functions. To make sure the invariant is satisfied, we also need to add a mmap_read_lock() around the get_user_pages_remote() call in get_arg_page(). The lock is not strictly necessary because the mm has been newly created, but the extra cost is limited because the same mutex was also acquired shortly before in __bprm_mm_init(), so it is hot and uncontended.

2021-09-03mm: remove flush_kernel_dcache_pageChristoph Hellwig
flush_kernel_dcache_page is a rather confusing interface that implements a subset of flush_dcache_page by not being able to properly handle page cache mapped pages. The only callers left are in the exec code as all other previous callers were incorrect as they could have dealt with page cache pages. Replace the calls to flush_kernel_dcache_page with calls to flush_dcache_page, which for all architectures does either exactly the same thing, can contains one or more of the following: 1) an optimization to defer the cache flush for page cache pages not mapped into userspace 2) additional flushing for mapped page cache pages if cache aliases are possible Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210712060928.4161649-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Cc: Alex Shi <alexs@kernel.org> Cc: Geoff Levand <geoff@infradead.org> Cc: Greentime Hu <green.hu@gmail.com> Cc: Guo Ren <guoren@kernel.org> Cc: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: "James E.J.

2021-09-03kernel/fork: always deny write access to current MM exe_fileDavid Hildenbrand
We want to remove VM_DENYWRITE only currently only used when mapping the executable during exec. During exec, we already deny_write_access() the executable, however, after exec completes the VMAs mapped with VM_DENYWRITE effectively keeps write access denied via deny_write_access(). Let's deny write access when setting or replacing the MM exe_file. With this change, we can remove VM_DENYWRITE for mapping executables. Make set_mm_exe_file() return an error in case deny_write_access() fails; note that this should never happen, because exec code does a deny_write_access() early and keeps write access denied when calling set_mm_exe_file. However, it makes the code easier to read and makes set_mm_exe_file() and replace_mm_exe_file() look more similar. This represents a minor user space visible change: sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) can now fail if the file is already opened writable. Also, after sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) the file cannot be opened writable. Note that we can already fail with -EACCES if the file doesn't have execute permissions. Acked-by: "Eric W.

2021-04-30Reimplement RLIMIT_NPROC on top of ucountsAlexey Gladkov
The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous user_namespaces cannot be exceeded. To illustrate the impact of rlimits, let's say there is a program that does not fork. Some service-A wants to run this program as user X in multiple containers. Since the program never fork the service wants to set RLIMIT_NPROC=1. service-A \- program (uid=1000, container1, rlimit_nproc=1) \- program (uid=1000, container2, rlimit_nproc=1) The service-A sets RLIMIT_NPROC=1 and runs the program in container1. When the service-A tries to run a program with RLIMIT_NPROC=1 in container2 it fails since user X already has one running process. We cannot use existing inc_ucounts / dec_ucounts because they do not allow us to exceed the maximum for the counter. Some rlimits can be overlimited by root or if the user has the appropriate capability. Changelog v11: * Change inc_rlimit_ucounts() which now returns top value of ucounts. * Drop inc_rlimit_ucounts_and_test() because the return code of inc_rlimit_ucounts() can be checked.

2021-04-30Add a reference to ucounts for each credAlexey Gladkov
For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it in struct cred. Adding a pointer to ucounts in the struct cred will allow to track RLIMIT_NPROC not only for user in the system, but for user in the user_namespace. Updating ucounts may require memory allocation which may fail. So, we cannot change cred.ucounts in the commit_creds() because this function cannot fail and it should always return 0. For this reason, we modify cred.ucounts before calling the commit_creds(). Changelog v6: * Fix null-ptr-deref in is_ucounts_overlimit() detected by trinity. This error was caused by the fact that cred_alloc_blank() left the ucounts pointer empty.

2021-02-23Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner: "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and maintainers. Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here are just a few: - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the implementation of portable home directories in systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at login time. - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged containers without having to change ownership permanently through chown(2). - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their Linux subsystem. - It is possible to share files between containers with non-overlapping idmappings. - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC) permission checking. - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of all files. - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home directory and container and vm scenario. - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only apply as long as the mount exists. Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull this: - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away in their implementation of portable home directories. https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/ - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734 - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is ported. - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers. I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones: https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/ This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and xfs: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to merge this. In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the testsuite. Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is currently marked with. The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern of extensibility. The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped mount: - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in. - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts. - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped. - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem. The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler. By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no behavioral or performance changes are observed. The manpage with a detailed description can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8 In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify that port has been done correctly. The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform mounts based on file descriptors only. Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2() RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and path resolution. While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing. With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api, covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and projects. There is a simple tool available at https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this patch series.

2021-01-24capability: handle idmapped mountsChristian Brauner
In order to determine whether a caller holds privilege over a given inode the capability framework exposes the two helpers privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(). The former verifies that the inode has a mapping in the caller's user namespace and the latter additionally verifies that the caller has the requested capability in their current user namespace. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped inodes. If the initial user namespace is passed all operations are a nop so non-idmapped mounts will not see a change in behavior.

2020-12-10exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphoreEric W. Biederman
Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users of exec_update_mutex. The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep was: perf_event_open (exec_update_mutex -> ovl_i_mutex) chown (ovl_i_mutex -> sb_writes) sendfile (sb_writes -> p->lock) by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs proc_pid_syscall (p->lock -> exec_update_mutex) While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given process to remain the same. They are all readers. The only writer is exec. There is no reason for readers to block on each other. So fix this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

2020-12-10exec: Move unshare_files to fix posix file locking during execEric W. Biederman
Many moons ago the binfmts were doing some very questionable things with file descriptors and an unsharing of the file descriptor table was added to make things better[1][2]. The helper steal_lockss was added to avoid breaking the userspace programs[3][4][6]. Unfortunately it turned out that steal_locks did not work for network file systems[5], so it was removed to see if anyone would complain[7][8]. It was thought at the time that NPTL would not be affected as the unshare_files happened after the other threads were killed[8]. Unfortunately because there was an unshare_files in binfmt_elf.c before the threads were killed this analysis was incorrect. This unshare_files in binfmt_elf.c resulted in the unshares_files happening whenever threads were present. Which led to unshare_files being moved to the start of do_execve[9]. Later the problems were rediscovered and the suggested approach was to readd steal_locks under a different name[10]. I happened to be reviewing patches and I noticed that this approach was a step backwards[11]. I proposed simply moving unshare_files[12] and it was pointed out that moving unshare_files without auditing the code was also unsafe[13]. There were then several attempts to solve this[14][15][16] and I even posted this set of changes[17]. Unfortunately because auditing all of execve is time consuming this change did not make it in at the time. Well now that I am cleaning up exec I have made the time to read through all of the binfmts and the only playing with file descriptors is either the security modules closing them in security_bprm_committing_creds or is in the generic code in fs/exec.c. None of it happens before begin_new_exec is called. So move unshare_files into begin_new_exec, after the point of no return. If memory is very very very low and the application calling exec is sharing file descriptor tables between processes we might fail past the point of no return. Which is unfortunate but no different than any of the other places where we allocate memory after the point of no return. This movement allows another process that shares the file table, or another thread of the same process and that closes files or changes their close on exec behavior and races with execve to cause some unexpected things to happen. There is only one time of check to time of use race and it is just there so that execve fails instead of an interpreter failing when it tries to open the file it is supposed to be interpreting. Failing later if userspace is being silly is not a problem. With this change it the following discription from the removal of steal_locks[8] finally becomes true. Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before execve. Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np()) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction. Apps using clone() natively are affected if they - use clone(CLONE_FILES) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec I have investigated some paths to make it possible to solve this without moving unshare_files but they all look more complicated[18].

2020-12-02kernel: Implement selective syscall userspace redirectionGabriel Krisman Bertazi
Introduce a mechanism to quickly disable/enable syscall handling for a specific process and redirect to userspace via SIGSYS. This is useful for processes with parts that require syscall redirection and parts that don't, but who need to perform this boundary crossing really fast, without paying the cost of a system call to reconfigure syscall handling on each boundary transition. This is particularly important for Windows games running over Wine. The proposed interface looks like this: prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, <op>, <off>, <length>, [selector]) The range [<offset>,<offset>+<length>) is a part of the process memory map that is allowed to by-pass the redirection code and dispatch syscalls directly, such that in fast paths a process doesn't need to disable the trap nor the kernel has to check the selector. This is essential to return from SIGSYS to a blocked area without triggering another SIGSYS from rt_sigreturn. selector is an optional pointer to a char-sized userspace memory region that has a key switch for the mechanism. This key switch is set to either PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON, PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF to enable and disable the redirection without calling the kernel. The feature is meant to be set per-thread and it is disabled on fork/clone/execv. Internally, this doesn't add overhead to the syscall hot path, and it requires very little per-architecture support. I avoided using seccomp, even though it duplicates some functionality, due to previous feedback that maybe it shouldn't mix with seccomp since it is not a security mechanism. And obviously, this should never be considered a security mechanism, since any part of the program can by-pass it by using the syscall dispatcher. For the sysinfo benchmark, which measures the overhead added to executing a native syscall that doesn't require interception, the overhead using only the direct dispatcher region to issue syscalls is pretty much irrelevant. The overhead of using the selector goes around 40ns for a native (unredirected) syscall in my system, and it is (as expected) dominated by the supervisor-mode user-address access. In fact, with SMAP off, the overhead is consistently less than 5ns on my test box.

2020-11-11parisc: Make user stack size configurableHelge Deller
On parisc we need to initialize the memory layout for the user stack at process start time to a fixed size, which up until now was limited to the size as given by CONFIG_MAX_STACK_SIZE_MB at compile time. This hard limit was too small and showed problems when compiling ruby2.7, qmlcachegen and some Qt packages. This patch changes two things: a) It increases the default maximum stack size to 100MB. b) Users can modify the stack hard limit size with ulimit and then newly forked processes will use the given stack size which can even be bigger than the default 100MB.

Grab actual references to the files_struct. To avoid circular references issues due to this, we add a per-task note that keeps track of what io_uring contexts a task has used. When the tasks execs or exits its assigned files, we cancel requests based on this tracking. With that, we can grab proper references to the files table, and no longer need to rely on stashing away ring_fd and ring_file to check if the ring_fd may have been closed.

2020-09-16mm: fix exec activate_mm vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb switching raceNicholas Piggin
Reading and modifying current->mm and current->active_mm and switching mm should be done with irqs off, to prevent races seeing an intermediate state. This is similar to commit 38cf307c1f20 ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB invalidate"). At exec-time when the new mm is activated, the old one should usually be single-threaded and no longer used, unless something else is holding an mm_users reference (which may be possible). Absent other mm_users, there is also a race with preemption and lazy tlb switching. Consider the kernel_execve case where the current thread is using a lazy tlb active mm: call_usermodehelper() kernel_execve() old_mm = current->mm; active_mm = current->active_mm; *** preempt *** --------------------> schedule() prev->active_mm = NULL; mmdrop(prev active_mm); ... <-------------------- schedule() current->mm = mm; current->active_mm = mm; if (!old_mm) mmdrop(active_mm); If we switch back to the kernel thread from a different mm, there is a double free of the old active_mm, and a missing free of the new one. Closing this race only requires interrupts to be disabled while ->mm and ->active_mm are being switched, but the TLB problem requires also holding interrupts off over activate_mm. Unfortunately not all archs can do that yet, e.g., arm defers the switch if irqs are disabled and expects finish_arch_post_lock_switch() to be called to complete the flush; um takes a blocking lock in activate_mm(). So as a first step, disable interrupts across the mm/active_mm updates to close the lazy tlb preempt race, and provide an arch option to extend that to activate_mm which allows architectures doing IPI based TLB shootdowns to close the second race. This is a bit ugly, but in the interest of fixing the bug and backporting before all architectures are converted this is a compromise.

2020-08-12exec: move S_ISREG() check earlierKees Cook
The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files. Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late. This was fixed in commit 73601ea5b7b1 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular files. Move the test into the other inode type checks (which already look for other pathological conditions[1]). Since there is no need to use FMODE_EXEC while we still have access to "acc_mode", also switch the test to MAY_EXEC. Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes. My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc: do_open_execat() struct open_flags open_exec_flags = { .open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC, .acc_mode = MAY_EXEC, ... do_filp_open(dfd, filename, open_flags) path_openat(nameidata, open_flags, flags) file = alloc_empty_file(open_flags, current_cred()); do_open(nameidata, file, open_flags) may_open(path, acc_mode, open_flag) /* new location of MAY_EXEC vs S_ISREG() test */ inode_permission(inode, MAY_OPEN | acc_mode) security_inode_permission(inode, acc_mode) vfs_open(path, file) do_dentry_open(file, path->dentry->d_inode, open) /* old location of FMODE_EXEC vs S_ISREG() test */ security_file_open(f) open() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202006041910.9EF0C602@keescook/ Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@gmail.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200605160013.3954297-3-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2020-08-12exec: change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCESKees Cook
Patch series "Relocate execve() sanity checks", v2. While looking at the code paths for the proposed O_MAYEXEC flag, I saw some things that looked like they should be fixed up. exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES This just regularizes the return code on uselib(2). exec: Move S_ISREG() check earlier This moves the S_ISREG() check even earlier than it was already. exec: Move path_noexec() check earlier This adds the path_noexec() check to the same place as the S_ISREG() check. This patch (of 3): Change uselib(2)' S_ISREG() error return to EACCES instead of EINVAL so the behavior matches execve(2), and the seemingly documented value. The "not a regular file" failure mode of execve(2) is explicitly documented[1], but it is not mentioned in uselib(2)[2] which does, however, say that open(2) and mmap(2) errors may apply. The documentation for open(2) does not include a "not a regular file" error[3], but mmap(2) does[4], and it is EACCES.

To allow the kernel not to play games with set_fs to call exec implement kernel_execve. The function kernel_execve takes pointers into kernel memory and copies the values pointed to onto the new userspace stack. The calls with arguments from kernel space of do_execve are replaced with calls to kernel_execve. The calls do_execve and do_execveat are made static as there are now no callers outside of exec. The comments that mention do_execve are updated to refer to kernel_execve or execve depending on the circumstances. In addition to correcting the comments, this makes it easy to grep for do_execve and verify it is not used.

Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like they are coming from userspace. To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying from userspace needs to happen earlier. Factor bprm_execve out of do_execve_common to separate out the copying of arguments to the newe stack, and the rest of exec. In separating bprm_execve from do_execve_common the copying of the arguments onto the new stack happens earlier. As the copying of the arguments does not depend any security hooks, files, the file table, current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or creds this is safe. Likewise the security hook security_creds_for_exec does not depend upon preventing the argument copying from happening. In addition to making it possible to implement kernel_execve that performs the copying differently, this separation of bprm_execve from do_execve_common makes for a nice separation of responsibilities making the exec code easier to navigate.

Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like they are coming from userspace. To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying from userspace needs to happen earlier. Move the allocation and initialization of bprm->mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm->mm is available early to store the new user stack into. This is a prerequisite for copying argv and envp into the new user stack early before ther rest of exec. To keep the things consistent the cleanup of bprm->mm is moved into free_bprm. So that bprm->mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm->mm is allocated and free_bprm are called. Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files, current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or the if the file table is shared. (AKA bprm_mm_init does not depend on any of the code that happens between alloc_bprm and where it was previously called.) This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->fs->in_exec is set to 0. This is safe because current->fs->in_exec is only used to preventy taking an additional reference on the fs_struct. This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->in_execve is set to 0. This is safe because current->in_execve is only used by the lsms (apparmor and tomoyou) and always for LSM specific functions, never for anything to do with the mm. This adds bprm->mm cleanup into the successful return path. This is safe because being on the successful return path implies that begin_new_exec succeeded and set brpm->mm to NULL. As bprm->mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am moving into free_bprm will do nothing.

Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like they are coming from userspace. To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying from userspace needs to happen earlier. Move the computation of bprm->filename and possible allocation of a name in the case of execveat into alloc_bprm to make that possible. The exectuable name, the arguments, and the environment are copied into the new usermode stack which is stored in bprm until exec passes the point of no return. As the executable name is copied first onto the usermode stack it needs to be known. As there are no dependencies to computing the executable name, compute it early in alloc_bprm. As an implementation detail if the filename needs to be generated because it embeds a file descriptor store that filename in a new field bprm->fdpath, and free it in free_bprm. Previously this was done in an independent variable pathbuf. I have renamed pathbuf fdpath because fdpath is more suggestive of what kind of path is in the variable. I moved fdpath into struct linux_binprm because it is tightly tied to the other variables in struct linux_binprm, and as such is needed to allow the call alloc_binprm to move.

2020-07-04exec: Remove do_execve_fileEric W. Biederman
Now that the last callser has been removed remove this code from exec. For anyone thinking of resurrecing do_execve_file please note that the code was buggy in several fundamental ways. - It did not ensure the file it was passed was read-only and that deny_write_access had been called on it. Which subtlely breaks invaniants in exec. - The caller of do_execve_file was expected to hold and put a reference to the file, but an extra reference for use by exec was not taken so that when exec put it's reference to the file an underflow occured on the file reference count. - The point of the interface was so that a pathname did not need to exist. Which breaks pathname based LSMs. Tetsuo Handa originally reported these issues[1]. While it was clear that deny_write_access was missing the fundamental incompatibility with the passed in O_RDWR filehandle was not immediately recognized. All of these issues were fixed by modifying the usermode driver code to have a path, so it did not need this hack.
