The macro thread_exit is called is at the end of functions started with kthread_run. The code in kthread_run has arranged things so a kernel thread can just return and do_exit will be called. So just have rtw_cmd_thread and mp_xmit_packet_thread return instead of calling complete_and_exit. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211020174406.17889-20-ebiederm@xmission.comSigned-off-by: Eric W.

Directly calling do_exit with a signal number has the problem that all of the side effects of the signal don't happen, such as killing all of the threads of a process instead of just the calling thread. So replace do_exit(SIGSYS) with force_fatal_sig(SIGSYS) which causes the signal handling to take it's normal path and work as expected.

Modify the 32bit version of setup_rt_frame and setup_frame to act similar to the 64bit version of setup_rt_frame and fail with a signal instead of calling do_exit. Replacing do_exit(SIGILL) with force_fatal_signal(SIGILL) ensures that the process will be terminated cleanly when the stack frame is invalid, instead of just killing off a single thread and leaving the process is a weird state.

The function try_to_clear_window_buffer is only called from rtrap_32.c. After it is called the signal pending state is retested, and signals are handled if TIF_SIGPENDING is set. This allows try_to_clear_window_buffer to call force_fatal_signal and then rely on the signal being delivered to kill the process, without any danger of returning to userspace, or otherwise using possible corrupt state on failure. The functional difference between force_fatal_sig and do_exit is that do_exit will only terminate a single thread, and will never trigger a core-dump. A multi-threaded program for which a single thread terminates unexpectedly is hard to reason about. Calling force_fatal_sig does not give userspace a chance to catch the signal, but otherwise is an ordinary fatal signal exit, and it will trigger a coredump of the offending process if core dumps are enabled.

Use force_fatal_sig instead of calling do_exit directly. This ensures the ordinary signal handling path gets invoked, core dumps as appropriate get created, and for multi-threaded processes all of the threads are terminated not just a single thread.

The > first prototype of SUD was implemented as a seccomp mode. If at some point it becomes interesting we could relax "force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV)" to instead say "force_sig_fault(SIGSEGV, SEGV_MAPERR, sd->selector)". I avoid doing that in this patch to avoid making it possible to catch currently uncatchable signals.

Add a simple helper force_fatal_sig that causes a signal to be delivered to a process as if the signal handler was set to SIG_DFL. Reimplement force_sigsegv based upon this new helper. This fixes force_sigsegv so that when it forces the default signal handler to be used the code now forces the signal to be unblocked as well. Reusing the tested logic in force_sig_info_to_task that was built for force_sig_seccomp this makes the implementation trivial. This is interesting both because it makes force_sigsegv simpler and because there are a couple of buggy places in the kernel that call do_exit(SIGILL) or do_exit(SIGSYS) because there is no straight forward way today for those places to simply force the exit of a process with the chosen signal. Creating force_fatal_sig allows those places to be implemented with normal signal exits. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211020174406.17889-13-ebiederm@xmission.comSigned-off-by: Eric W.

Reading the history it is unclear why default_trap_handler calls do_exit. It is not even menthioned in the commit where the change happened. My best guess is that because it is unknown why the exception happened it was desired to guarantee the process never returned to userspace. Using do_exit(SIGSEGV) has the problem that it will only terminate one thread of a process, leaving the process in an undefined state. Use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead which effectively has the same behavior except that is uses the ordinary signal mechanism and terminates all threads of a process and is generally well defined.

Update save_v86_state to always complete all of it's work except possibly some of the copies to userspace even if save_v86_state takes a fault. This ensures that the kernel is always in a sane state, even if userspace has done something silly. When save_v86_state takes a fault update it to force userspace to take a SIGSEGV and terminate the userspace application. As Andy pointed out in review of the first version of this change there are races between sigaction and the application terinating. Now that the code has been modified to always perform all save_v86_state's work (except possibly copying to userspace) those races do not matter from a kernel perspective. Forcing the userspace application to terminate (by resetting it's handler to SIGDFL) is there to keep everything as close to the current behavior as possible while removing the unique (and difficult to maintain) use of do_exit. If this new SIGSEGV happens during handle_signal the next time around the exit_to_user_mode_loop, SIGSEGV will be delivered to userspace. All of the callers of handle_vm86_trap and handle_vm86_fault run the exit_to_user_mode_loop before they return to userspace any signal sent to the current task during their execution will be delivered to the current task before that tasks exits to usermode.

The function save_v86_state is only called when userspace was operating in vm86 mode before entering the kernel. Not having vm86 state in the task_struct should never happen. So transform the hand rolled BUG_ON into an actual BUG_ON to make it clear what is happening.

The function setup_tsb_params has exactly one caller tsb_grow. The function tsb_grow passes in a tsb_bytes value that is between 8192 and 1048576 inclusive, and is guaranteed to be a power of 2. The function setup_tsb_params verifies this property with a switch statement and then prints an error and causes the task to exit if this is not true. In practice that print statement can never be reached because tsb_grow never passes in a bad tsb_size. So if tsb_size ever gets a bad value that is a kernel bug. So replace the do_exit which is effectively an open coded version of BUG() with an actuall call to BUG(). Making it clearer that this is a case that can never, and should never happen.

If the register state may be partial and corrupted instead of calling do_exit, call force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV). Which properly kills the process with SIGSEGV and does not let any more userspace code execute, instead of just killing one thread of the process and potentially confusing everything.

Today the sh code allocates memory the first time a process uses the fpu. If that memory allocation fails, kill the affected task with force_sig(SIGKILL) rather than do_group_exit(SIGKILL). Calling do_group_exit from an exception handler can potentially lead to dead locks as do_group_exit is not designed to be called from interrupt context. Instead use force_sig(SIGKILL) to kill the userspace process. Sending signals in general and force_sig in particular has been tested from interrupt context so there should be no problems.

When an instruction to save or restore a register from the stack fails in _save_fp_context or _restore_fp_context return with -EFAULT. This change was made to r2300_fpu.S[1] but it looks like it got lost with the introduction of EX2[2]. This is also what the other implementation of _save_fp_context and _restore_fp_context in r4k_fpu.S does, and what is needed for the callers to be able to handle the error. Furthermore calling do_exit(SIGSEGV) from bad_stack is wrong because it does not terminate the entire process it just terminates a single thread. As the changed code was the only caller of arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:bad_stack remove the problematic and now unused helper function.

Pull coccinelle updates from Julia Lawall: "These changes update some existing semantic patches with respect to some recent changes in the kernel. Specifically, the change to kvmalloc.cocci searches for kfree_sensitive rather than kzfree, and the change to use_after_iter.cocci adds list_entry_is_head as a valid use of a list iterator index variable after the end of the loop" * 'for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlawall/linux: scripts: coccinelle: allow list_entry_is_head() to use pos coccinelle: api: rename kzfree to kfree_sensitive

To pick the change in: 7957d93b ("block: add ioctl to read the disk sequence number") It adds a new ioctl, but we are still not using that to generate tables for 'perf trace', so no changes in tooling.
