The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports. Refer to watchdog_cpumask and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on these. When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set. This commit implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a bitmap size, as in the watchdog case. The bitmap is used to test the bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap(). The next commit fixes this issue.

On old kernels older new test knobs implemented on the test_sysctl module may not be available. This is expected, and the selftests test scripts should be able to run without failures on older kernels. Generalize a solution so that we test for each required test target file for each test by requiring each test description to annotate their respective test target file. If the target file does not exist, we skip the test gracefully. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320222831.8243-5-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

When verify_diff_w() is used we care about the result, not the verbose output, and although we use -q, that still gives us a chatty message about if the files differ or not. Since verify_diff_w() uses stdinput the chatty message says whether or not "-" matches the target file, and this just seems rather odd. Better to just ignore that messsage all together, what we really care about i sthe results, the return value and we check for that.

Currently the test script checks for the existence of the sysctl test module's directory path prior to loading it. We must first try to load the module prior to checking for that path. This fixes the order for the load / test. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320222831.8243-3-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "sysctl: add pending proc_do_large_bitmap fix". Eric sent a fix out for proc_do_large_bitmap() last month for when using a large input buffer. After patch review a test case for the issue was built and submitted. I noticed there were a few issues with the tests, but instead of just asking Eric to address them I've taken care of them and ammended the commit where necessary. There's a few issues he reported which I also address and fix in this series. Since we *do* expect users of these scripts to also use them on older kernels, I've also addressed not breaking calling the script for them, and gives us an easy way to easily extend our tests cases for future kernels as well. Before anyone considers these for stable as minor fixes, I'd recommend we also address the discrepancy on the read side of things: modify the test script to use diff against the target file instead of using the temp file. This patch (of 6): We already call test_reqs(), no need to call it twice. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320222831.8243-2-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Currently when userspace gives us a values that overflow e.g. file-max and other callers of __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() we simply ignore the new value and leave the current value untouched. This can be problematic as it gives the illusion that the limit has indeed be bumped when in fact it failed. This commit makes sure to return EINVAL when an overflow is detected. Please note that this is a userspace facing change. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190210203943.8227-4-christian@brauner.ioSigned-off-by:

struct linux_binprm::buf is the first field and it is exactly 128 bytes in size. It means that on x86_64 all accesses to other fields will go though [r64 + disp32] addressing mode which is 3 bytes bloatier than [r64 + disp8] addressing mode. Given that accesses to other fields outnumber accesses to ->buf, move it down. Space savings (x86_64 defconfig): more on distro configs because LSMs actively dereference "bprm" but do not care about first 128 bytes of the executable itself. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/24 up/down: 0/-492 (-492) Function old new delta selinux_bprm_committing_creds 552 549 -3 finalize_exec 94 91 -3 __audit_log_bprm_fcaps 283 280 -3 __audit_bprm 39 36 -3 perf_trace_sched_process_exec 347 341 -6 install_exec_creds 105 99 -6 cap_bprm_set_creds.cold 60 54 -6 would_dump 137 128 -9 load_script 637 628 -9 bprm_change_interp 61 52 -9 trace_event_raw_event_sched_process_exec 260 250 -10 search_binary_handler 255 240 -15 remove_arg_zero 295 277 -18 free_bprm 119 101 -18 prepare_binprm 379 360 -19 setup_new_exec 336 315 -21 flush_old_exec 1638 1617 -21 copy_strings.isra 746 724 -22 setup_arg_pages 559 530 -29 load_misc_binary 1151 1118 -33 selinux_bprm_set_creds 792 753 -39 load_elf_binary 11111 11072 -39 cap_bprm_set_creds 1496 1454 -42 __do_execve_file.isra 2395 2286 -109 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190421165025.GA26843@avx2Signed-off-by:

fsync() needs to make sure the data & meta-data of file are persistent after the return of fsync(), even when a power-failure occurs later. In the case of fat-fs, the FAT belongs to the meta-data of file, so we need to issue a flush after the writeback of FAT instead before. Also bail out early when any stage of fsync fails.

csum_partial() gives different results for little-endian and big-endian hosts. This causes images created on little-endian hosts and mounted on big endian hosts to see csum mismatches. This causes an endianness bug. Sparse gives a warning as csum_partial returns a restricted integer type __wsum_t and xattr_hash expects __u32. This warning acts as a reminder for this bug and should not be suppressed. This comment aims to convey these endianness issues.

Patch series "init: Do not select DEBUG_KERNEL by default", v5. CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL has been designed to just enable Kconfig options. Kernel code generatoin should not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. Proposed alternative plan: let's add a new symbol, something like DEBUG_MISC ("Miscellaneous debug code that should be under a more specific debug option but isn't"), make it depend on DEBUG_KERNEL and be "default DEBUG_KERNEL" but allow itself to be turned off, and then mechanically change the small handful of "#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL" to "#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_MISC". This patch (of 5): Introduce DEBUG_MISC ("Miscellaneous debug code that should be under a more specific debug option but isn't"), make it depend on DEBUG_KERNEL and be "default DEBUG_KERNEL" but allow itself to be turned off, and then mechanically change the small handful of "#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL" to "#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_MISC".

Commmit eab09532 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE"), made changes in the rare case when the ELF loader was directly invoked (e.g to set a non-inheritable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, testing new versions of the loader), by moving into the mmap region to avoid both ET_EXEC and PIE binaries. This had the effect of also moving the brk region into mmap, which could lead to the stack and brk being arbitrarily close to each other. An unlucky process wouldn't get its requested stack size and stack allocations could end up scribbling on the heap. This is illustrated here. In the case of using the loader directly, brk (so helpfully identified as "[heap]") is allocated with the _loader_ not the binary. For example, with ASLR entirely disabled, you can see this more clearly: $ /bin/cat /proc/self/maps 555555554000-55555555c000 r-xp 00000000 ... /bin/cat 55555575b000-55555575c000 r--p 00007000 ... /bin/cat 55555575c000-55555575d000 rw-p 00008000 ... /bin/cat 55555575d000-55555577e000 rw-p 00000000 ...

[stack] $ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.27.so /bin/cat /proc/self/maps ... 7ffff7bcc000-7ffff7bd4000 r-xp 00000000 ... /bin/cat 7ffff7bd4000-7ffff7dd3000 ---p 00008000 ... /bin/cat 7ffff7dd3000-7ffff7dd4000 r--p 00007000 ... /bin/cat 7ffff7dd4000-7ffff7dd5000 rw-p 00008000 ... /bin/cat 7ffff7dd5000-7ffff7dfc000 r-xp 00000000 ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.27.so 7ffff7fb2000-7ffff7fd6000 rw-p 00000000 ... 7ffff7ff7000-7ffff7ffa000 r--p 00000000 ...

[heap] 7ffffffde000-7ffffffff000 rw-p 00000000 ... [stack] The solution is to move brk out of mmap and into ELF_ET_DYN_BASE since nothing is there in the direct loader case (and ET_EXEC is still far away at 0x400000). Anything that ran before should still work (i.e. the ultimately-launched binary already had the brk very far from its text, so this should be no different from a COMPAT_BRK standpoint). The only risk I see here is that if someone started to suddenly depend on the entire memory space lower than the mmap region being available when launching binaries via a direct loader execs which seems highly unlikely, I'd hope: this would mean a binary would _not_ work when exec()ed normally. (Note that this is only done under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZATION when randomization is turned on.)

Get "current_pt_regs" pointer right before usage. Space savings on x86_64: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-180 (-180) Function old new delta load_elf_binary 5806 5626 -180 !!! Looks like the compiler doesn't know that "current_pt_regs" is stable pointer (because it doesn't know ->stack isn't) even though it knows that "current" is stable pointer. So it saves it in the very beginning and then tries to carry it through a lot of code. Here is what happens here: load_elf_binary() ... mov rax,QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00 mov r13,QWORD PTR [rax+0x18] r13 = current->stack call kmem_cache_alloc # first kmalloc [980 bytes later!] # let's spill that sucker because we need a register # for "load_bias" calculations at # # if (interpreter) { # load_bias = ELF_ET_DYN_BASE; # if (current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE) # load_bias += arch_mmap_rnd(); # elf_flags |= elf_fixed; # } mov QWORD PTR [rsp+0x68],r13 If this is not _the_ root cause it is still eeeeh. After the patch things become much simpler: mov rax, QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00 # current mov rdx, QWORD PTR [rax+0x18] # current->stack movq [rdx+0x3fb8], 0 # fill pt_regs ... call finalize_exec Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190419200343.GA19788@avx2Signed-off-by: -

The ror32 implementation (word >> shift) | (word << (32 - shift) has undefined behaviour if shift is outside the [1, 31] range. Similarly for the 64 bit variants. Most callers pass a compile-time constant (naturally in that range), but there's an UBSAN report that these may actually be called with a shift count of 0. Instead of special-casing that, we can make them DTRT for all values of shift while also avoiding UB. For some reason, this was already partly done for rol32 (which was well-defined for [0, 31]). gcc 8 recognizes these patterns as rotates, so for example __u32 rol32(__u32 word, unsigned int shift) { return (word << (shift & 31)) | (word >> ((-shift) & 31)); } compiles to 0000000000000020 <rol32>: 20: 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 22: 89 f1 mov %esi,%ecx 24: d3 c0 rol %cl,%eax 26: c3 retq Older compilers unfortunately do not do as well, but this only affects the small minority of users that don't pass constants. Due to integer promotions, ro[lr]8 were already well-defined for shifts in [0, 8], and ro[lr]16 were mostly well-defined for shifts in [0, 16] (only mostly - u16 gets promoted to _signed_ int, so if bit 15 is set, word << 16 is undefined). For consistency, update those as well. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190410211906.2190-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by:Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Tested-by:

test_bitmap_parselist currently uses get_cycles which is not implemented on some platforms, so use ktime_get() instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190405173211.11373-4-ynorov@marvell.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "lib: rework bitmap_parselist and tests", v5. bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a set of opaque-named variables. Things are more complicated because bitmap_parselist() is a part of user interface, and its behavior should not change. In this patchset - bitmap_parselist_user() made a wrapper on bitmap_parselist(); - bitmap_parselist() reworked (patch 2); - time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get (patch 3); - new tests introduced (patch 4), and - bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as bitmap_parselist() (patch 5). This patch (of 5): Currently we parse user data byte after byte which leads to overcomplification of parsing algorithm. The only user of bitmap_parselist_user() is not performance-critical, and so we can duplicate user data to kernel buffer and simply call bitmap_parselist(). This rework lets us unify and simplify bitmap_parselist() and bitmap_parselist_user(), which is done in the following patch.
