sethostname/setdomainname: notify userspace when there is a change in uts_kern_table

sethostname() and setdomainname() notify userspace on failure (without
modifying uts_kern_table).  Change things so that we only notify userspace
on success, when uts_kern_table was actually modified.

12 years agointroduce SIZE_MAX
Xi Wang [Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:03:54 +0000 (11:03 +1000)]
introduce SIZE_MAX

ULONG_MAX is often used to check for integer overflow when calculating
allocation size.  While ULONG_MAX happens to work on most systems, there
is no guarantee that `size_t' must be the same size as `long'.

This patch introduces SIZE_MAX, the maximum value of `size_t', to improve
portability and readability for allocation size validation.

12 years agomemcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki [Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:03:42 +0000 (11:03 +1000)]
memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task

This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().

At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup.  There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.

Before patch:
  - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
  - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
    If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.

After patch:
  - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
  - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.

Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec().  Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change.  (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)

Below is a discussion log:

 - current spec/implementation are complex
 - Now, shared file caches are moved
 - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
   we should check swap users, etc.
 - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
   from the design.
 - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
   be moved....
 - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393

int main(void)
{

        void *m;
        char buf[1024];

        for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
                m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
                         PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

                if (m == (void *)-1)
                        printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
                else
                        printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);

                if (r == 0) {
                        printf("%d: successed\n", i);
                        return 0;
                } else if (r < 0)

                else if (r > 0)
                        wait(NULL);
        }
        return 0;
}

Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now.  This

hugetlb: simplify migrate_huge_page()

Since we migrate only one hugepage don't use linked list for passing the
page around.  Directly pass page that need to be migrated as argument.
This also remove the usage page->lru in migrate path.

hugetlb: rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate

This patchset implements a memory controller extension to control HugeTLB
allocations.  The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control
group and enforces the controller limit during page fault.  Since HugeTLB
doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time
implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
HugeTLB pages beyond its limit.  This requires the application to know
beforehand how much HugeTLB memory it would require for its use.

The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of tasks can
allocate.  It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota
interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs
superblock.  An HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource
requirements in the job file.  Once their requirements can be met, job
schedulers (such as SLURM) will schedule the job.  We need to make sure
that the jobs won't consume more resources than requested.  If they do we
should either error out or kill the application.

This patch:

Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate.  We will be using this from other
subsystems like memcg in later patches.

logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory compaction
is already using it.

Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
considerable length of time.  Page reclaim instead uses
wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being

Reclaim statistics are not radically changed.  The stall times in kswapd
are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat().  Otherwise
stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.

I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation.  This is very
artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
compaction.  Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
figures.

Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
due to [fe2c2a10: vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled].
I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair allocation success
rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did not anticipate this
much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less reclaim by kswapd

In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
which is the intended behaviour.  hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would be
much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations are.
The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs but is
much closer to THP.

Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
__GFP_REPEAT.  Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
network devices.

In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test

KSwapd full   conditional waited                49          0          0          0

The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
fewer dirty pages.  This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
it's a lot less.

In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this

FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage

KSwapd writes mixed async                        0          0          0          0

In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync IO.
This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely.  It indicates
that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.

This patch:

Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
system so hard it trashed.  For others the purpose was to complicate
vmscan.c.  Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
lumpy reclaim to the farm.

The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
applied.  Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested.  Lumpy reclaim used this
logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

12 years agomm: remove swap token code

mm: remove swap token code

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model.  It does
not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.

It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and inactive
anon LRU lists.

Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year without
complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov.  This suggests we no
longer have much use for it.

The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over.  If we
ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to implement
something that does scale.

fsnotify: handle subfiles' perm events

Recently I'm working on fanotify and found the following strange
behaviors.

I wrote a program to set fanotify_mark on "/tmp/block" and FAN_DENY
all events notified.

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is blocked as expected.

But,

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
aaa

It's not blocked anymore.  This is confusing behavior.  Also reading
commit "fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm events", it seems like
fsnotify should handle subfiles' perm events as well as the other notify
events.

With this patch, regardless of FAN_ALL_EVENTS set or not:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is now blocked properly.

FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM are not listed on FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD.
 Due to fsnotify_inode_watches_children() check, if you only specify only
these events as fsnotify_mask, you don't get subfiles' perm events
notified.

This patch add the events to FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD to get them notified
even if only these events are specified to fsnotify_mask.

fs: hardlink creation restrictions

On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition as
system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp.  The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e.  a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user).  Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.

The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.

Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files they
have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine of "least
surprise".  Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX, which states
"the implementation may require that the calling process has permission to
access the existing file"[1].

This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for a
while.  Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in Ubuntu
for the last 1.5 years.

This patch is based on the patch in Openwall and grsecurity.  I have added
a sysctl to enable the protected behavior, documentation, and an audit
notification.

12 years agofs: symlink restrictions on sticky directories
Kees Cook [Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:03:27 +0000 (11:03 +1000)]
fs: symlink restrictions on sticky directories

A longstanding class of security issues is the symlink-based
time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
directories like /tmp.  The common method of exploitation of this flaw is
to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e.  a root
process follows a symlink belonging to another user).  For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp

The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside a
sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.

Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:

 - Violates POSIX.
   - POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
     a broken specification at the cost of security.
 - Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
   - Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
     fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
     the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
     that rely on this behavior.
 - Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
   - True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
     all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
     kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
 - This should live in the core VFS.

vfs: increment iversion when a file is truncated

iversion is not updated.  This patch uses ATTR_SIZE flag as an indication
to increment iversion.

Mimi said:

On fput(), i_version is used to detect and flag files that have changed
and need to be re-measured in the IMA measurement policy.  When a file
is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed, i_version is
not updated.  As a result, although the file has changed, it will not be

  ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/scsi/atp870u.ko] undefined!
  make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This is because udelay is defined on ARM, roughly speaking, as

#define udelay(n) ((n) > 2000 ? __bad_udelay() : \
__const_udelay((n) * ((2199023U*HZ)>>11)))

The argument to __const_udelay is the number of jiffies to wait divided by
4, but this does not work unless the multiplication does not overflow, and
that is what the build error is designed to prevent.  The intended

12 years agoconnector/userns: replace netlink uses of cap_raised with capable.
Eric W. Biederman [Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:03:23 +0000 (11:03 +1000)]
connector/userns: replace netlink uses of cap_raised with capable.

In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.

In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).  The only reason I can see for not calling capable
is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which
would have made calling capable() impossible.

In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a
few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets
PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.

Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems
the right thing to do.

The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that
child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and
thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel
services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..).

To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
across architectures.  In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

net: use this_cpu_xxx replace percpu_xxx funcs

percpu_xxx funcs are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx funcs, so replace them
for further code clean up.

And in preempt safe scenario, __this_cpu_xxx funcs has a bit better
performance since __this_cpu_xxx has no redundant preempt_disable()
