proc, oom: do not report alien mms when setting oom_score_adj

2019-02-27T09:09:41+00:00

commit b2b469939e93458753cfbf8282ad52636495965e upstream. Tetsuo has reported that creating a thousands of processes sharing MM without SIGHAND (aka alien threads) and setting /proc//oom_score_adj will swamp the kernel log and takes ages [1] to finish. This is especially worrisome that all that printing is done under RCU lock and this can potentially trigger RCU stall or softlockup detector. The primary reason for the printk was to catch potential users who might depend on the behavior prior to 44a70adec910 ("mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj") but after more than 2 years without a single report I guess it is safe to simply remove the printk altogether. The next step should be moving oom_score_adj over to the mm struct and remove all the tasks crawling as suggested by [2] [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/97fce864-6f75-bca5-14bc-12c9f890e740@i-love.sakura.ne.jp [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190117155159.GA4087@dhcp22.suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190212102129.26288-1-mhocko@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa Acked-by: Johannes Weiner Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Yong-Taek Lee Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'stackleak-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook: "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense against at least two classes of flaws: - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too). - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but provides the coverage for stacks. The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon). With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin" * tag 'stackleak-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: arm64: Drop unneeded stackleak_check_alloca() stackleak: Allow runtime disabling of kernel stack erasing doc: self-protection: Add information about STACKLEAK feature fs/proc: Show STACKLEAK metrics in the /proc file system lkdtm: Add a test for STACKLEAK gcc-plugins: Add STACKLEAK plugin for tracking the kernel stack x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls

proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root

2018-10-05T23:32:05+00:00

Currently, you can use /proc/self/task/*/stack to cause a stack walk on a task you control while it is running on another CPU. That means that the stack can change under the stack walker. The stack walker does have guards against going completely off the rails and into random kernel memory, but it can interpret random data from your kernel stack as instruction pointers and stack pointers. This can cause exposure of kernel stack contents to userspace. Restrict the ability to inspect kernel stacks of arbitrary tasks to root in order to prevent a local attacker from exploiting racy stack unwinding to leak kernel task stack contents. See the added comment for a longer rationale. There don't seem to be any users of this userspace API that can't gracefully bail out if reading from the file fails. Therefore, I believe that this change is unlikely to break things. In the case that this patch does end up needing a revert, the next-best solution might be to fake a single-entry stack based on wchan.

fs/proc: Show STACKLEAK metrics in the /proc file system

2018-09-04T17:35:48+00:00

Introduce CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS providing STACKLEAK information about tasks via the /proc file system. In particular, /proc//stack_depth shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and previous syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it can be useful for estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for your workloads.

proc: save 2 atomic ops on write to "/proc//attr/"

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

Code checks if write is done by current to its own attributes. For that get/put pair is unnecessary as it can be done under RCU. Note: rcu_read_unlock() can be done even earlier since pointer to a task is not dereferenced. It depends if /proc code should look scary or not: rcu_read_lock(); task = pid_task(...); rcu_read_unlock(); if (!task) return -ESRCH; if (task != current) return -EACCESS: P.S.: rename "length" variable. Code like this length = -EINVAL; should not exist.

mm: /proc/pid/*maps remove is_pid and related wrappers

2018-08-22T17:52:44+00:00

Patch series "cleanups and refactor of /proc/pid/smaps*". The recent regression in /proc/pid/smaps made me look more into the code. Especially the issues with smaps_rollup reported in [1] as explained in Patch 4, which fixes them by refactoring the code. Patches 2 and 3 are preparations for that. Patch 1 is me realizing that there's a lot of boilerplate left from times where we tried (unsuccessfuly) to mark thread stacks in the output. Originally I had also plans to rework the translation from /proc/pid/*maps* file offsets to the internal structures. Now the offset means "vma number", which is not really stable (vma's can come and go between read() calls) and there's an extra caching of last vma's address. My idea was that offsets would be interpreted directly as addresses, which would also allow meaningful seeks (see the ugly seek_to_smaps_entry() in tools/testing/selftests/vm/mlock2.h). However loff_t is (signed) long long so that might be insufficient somewhere for the unsigned long addresses. So the result is fixed issues with skewed /proc/pid/smaps_rollup results, simpler smaps code, and a lot of unused code removed. [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=151927723128134&w=2 This patch (of 4): Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc//maps") introduced differences between /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps to mark thread stacks properly, and this was also done for smaps and numa_maps. However it didn't work properly and was ultimately removed by commit b18cb64ead40 ("fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks"). Now the is_pid parameter for the related show_*() functions is unused and we can remove it together with wrapper functions and ops structures that differ for PID and TID cases only in this parameter.

proc: fix missing final NUL in get_mm_cmdline() rewrite

2018-06-20T06:38:28+00:00

The rewrite of the cmdline fetching missed the fact that we used to also return the final terminating NUL character of the last argument. I hadn't noticed, and none of the tools I tested cared, but something obviously must care, because Michal Kubecek noticed the change in behavior. Tweak the "find the end" logic to actually include the NUL character, and once past the eend of argv, always start the strnlen() at the expected (original) argument end. This whole "allow people to rewrite their arguments in place" is a nasty hack and requires that odd slop handling at the end of the argv array, but it's our traditional model, so we continue to support it.
