[ Upstream commit 1c5976ef0f7ad76319df748ccb99a4c7ba2ba464 ]

Currently, registering a new binary type pins the binfmt_misc
filesystem. Specifically, this means that as long as there is at least
one binary type registered the binfmt_misc filesystem survives all
umounts, i.e. the superblock is not destroyed. Meaning that a umount
followed by another mount will end up with the same superblock and the
same binary type handlers. This is a behavior we tend to discourage for
any new filesystems (apart from a few special filesystems such as e.g.
configfs or debugfs). A umount operation without the filesystem being
pinned - by e.g. someone holding a file descriptor to an open file -
should usually result in the destruction of the superblock and all
associated resources. This makes introspection easier and leads to
clearly defined, simple and clean semantics. An administrator can rely
on the fact that a umount will guarantee a clean slate making it
possible to reinitialize a filesystem. Right now all binary types would
need to be explicitly deleted before that can happen.

This allows us to remove the heavy-handed calls to simple_pin_fs() and
simple_release_fs() when creating and deleting binary types. This in
turn allows us to replace the current brittle pinning mechanism abusing
dget() which has caused a range of bugs judging from prior fixes in [2]
and [3]. The additional dget() in load_misc_binary() pins the dentry but
only does so for the sake to prevent -&gt;evict_inode() from freeing the
node when a user removes the binary type and kill_node() is run. Which
would mean -&gt;interpreter and -&gt;interp_file would be freed causing a UAF.

This isn't really nicely documented nor is it very clean because it
relies on simple_pin_fs() pinning the filesystem as long as at least one
binary type exists. Otherwise it would cause load_misc_binary() to hold
on to a dentry belonging to a superblock that has been shutdown.
Replace that implicit pinning with a clean and simple per-node refcount
and get rid of the ugly dget() pinning. A similar mechanism exists for
e.g. binderfs (cf. [4]). All the cleanup work can now be done in
-&gt;evict_inode().

In a follow-up patch we will make it possible to use binfmt_misc in
sandboxes. We will use the cleaner semantics where a umount for the
filesystem will cause the superblock and all resources to be
deallocated. In preparation for this apply the same semantics to the
initial binfmt_misc mount. Note, that this is a user-visible change and
as such a uapi change but one that we can reasonably risk. We've
discussed this in earlier versions of this patchset (cf. [1]).

The main user and provider of binfmt_misc is systemd. Systemd provides
binfmt_misc via autofs since it is configurable as a kernel module and
is used by a few exotic packages and users. As such a binfmt_misc mount
is triggered when /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc is accessed and is only
provided on demand. Other autofs on demand filesystems include EFI ESP
which systemd umounts if the mountpoint stays idle for a certain amount
of time. This doesn't apply to the binfmt_misc autofs mount which isn't
touched once it is mounted meaning this change can't accidently wipe
binary type handlers without someone having explicitly unmounted
binfmt_misc. After speaking to systemd folks they don't expect this
change to affect them.

In line with our general policy, if we see a regression for systemd or
other users with this change we will switch back to the old behavior for
the initial binfmt_misc mount and have binary types pin the filesystem
again. But while we touch this code let's take the chance and let's
improve on the status quo.

commit e7850f4d844e0acfac7e570af611d89deade3146 upstream.

There is a deadlock in bm_register_write:

First, in the begining of the function, a lock is taken on the binfmt_misc
root inode with inode_lock(d_inode(root)).

Then, if the user used the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag, the function will call
open_exec on the user-provided interpreter.

open_exec will call a path lookup, and if the path lookup process includes
the root of binfmt_misc, it will try to take a shared lock on its inode
again, but it is already locked, and the code will get stuck in a deadlock

To reproduce the bug:
$ echo ":iiiii:E::ii::/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/bla:F" &gt; /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

backtrace of where the lock occurs (#5):

it's exactly the same thing as
	dentry_open(&amp;file-&gt;f_path, file-&gt;f_flags, file-&gt;f_cred)

... and rename it to file_clone_open(), while we are at it.
'filp' naming convention is bogus; sure, it's "file pointer",
but we generally don't do that kind of Hungarian notation.
Some of the instances have too many callers to touch, but this
one has only two, so let's sanitize it while we can...

WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow
the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or
possibly leak kernel data.

Here is a crash log when 2500000000 was used as an offset:

Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul.  It will work as the code
already set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field
is not empty.

Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX.  Also tested
with examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
and other registrations from packages on Ubuntu.

<content type='text'>
Using the ksys_close() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls
to the sys_close() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it
uses the same calling convention as sys_close(), with one subtle
difference:

The few places which checked the return value did not care about the return
value re-writing in sys_close(), so simply use a wrapper around
__close_fd().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

inode-&gt;i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a
new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by
bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in
bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference
when evicting such an inode.  e.g.  mount binfmt_misc filesystem then
umount it immediately:

  mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
  umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

will result in

After the previous change "fmt" can't go away, we can kill
iname/iname_addr and use fmt-&gt;interpreter.

<title>exec: binfmt_misc: fix race between load_misc_binary() and kill_node()</title>

load_misc_binary() makes a local copy of fmt-&gt;interpreter under
entries_lock to avoid the race with kill_node() but this is not enough;
the whole Node can be freed after we drop entries_lock, not only the
-&gt;interpreter string.

Add dget/dput(fmt-&gt;dentry) to ensure bm_evict_inode() can't destroy/free
this Node.
