Deepa Dinamani c2050a454c fs: Replace current_fs_time() with current_time()
current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
deleted.

Linus Torvalds e9d488c311 Merge tag 'binfmt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/binfmt_misc
Pull binfmt_misc update from James Bottomley:
 "This update is to allow architecture emulation containers to function
  such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the container
  itself.  The container and fs parts both have acks from relevant
  experts.

  To use the new feature you have to add an F option to your binfmt_misc
  configuration"

From the docs:
 "The usual behaviour of binfmt_misc is to spawn the binary lazily when
  the misc format file is invoked.  However, this doesn't work very well
  in the face of mount namespaces and changeroots, so the F mode opens
  the binary as soon as the emulation is installed and uses the opened
  image to spawn the emulator, meaning it is always available once
  installed, regardless of how the environment changes"

James Bottomley 948b701a60 binfmt_misc: add persistent opened binary handler for containers
This patch adds a new flag 'F' to the binfmt handlers.  If you pass in
'F' the binary that runs the emulation will be opened immediately and
in future, will be cloned from the open file.

The net effect is that the handler survives both changeroots and mount
namespace changes, making it easy to work with foreign architecture
containers without contaminating the container image with the
emulator.

David Drysdale 51f39a1f0c syscalls: implement execveat() system call
This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).

The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
at least for executables (rather than scripts).  The current glibc version
of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
or otherwise restricted environments.

Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
an appropriate generalization.

Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
back-compatibility concerns.  The current implementation just defines the
AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).

Related history:
 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
   realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
   documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
   "prevent other people from wasting their time".
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
   problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
   because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
   been fixed.

This patch (of 4):

Add a new execveat(2) system call.  execveat() is to execve() as openat()
is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
resolves the filename relative to that.

In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers.  This
replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and
so relies on /proc being mounted).

The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>"
(for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively
reflecting how the executable was found.  This does however mean that
execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
accessible after exec).

Based on patches by Meredydd Luff.

Mike Frysinger 6b899c4e9a binfmt_misc: add comments & debug logs
When trying to develop a custom format handler, the errors returned all
effectively get bucketed as EINVAL with no kernel messages.  The other
errors (ENOMEM/EFAULT) are internal/obvious and basic.  Thus any time a
bad handler is rejected, the developer has to walk the dense code and
try to guess where it went wrong.  Needing to dive into kernel code is
itself a fairly high barrier for a lot of people.

To improve this situation, let's deploy extensive pr_debug markers at
logical parse points, and add comments to the dense parsing logic.  It
let's you see exactly where the parsing aborts, the string the kernel
received (useful when dealing with shell code), how it translated the
buffers to binary data, and how it will apply the mask at runtime.

Some example output:
  $ echo ':qemu-foo:M::\x7fELF\xAD\xAD\x01\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\x00:/usr/bin/qemu-foo:POC' > register

Arnd Bergmann de8288b1f8 binfmt_misc: work around gcc-4.9 warning
gcc-4.9 on ARM gives us a mysterious warning about the binfmt_misc
parse_command function:

  fs/binfmt_misc.c: In function 'parse_command.part.3':
  fs/binfmt_misc.c:405:7: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]

I've managed to trace this back to the ARM implementation of memset,
which is called from copy_from_user in case of a fault and which does

 #define memset(p,v,n)                                                  \
        ({                                                              \
                void *__p = (p); size_t __n = n;                        \
                if ((__n) != 0) {                                       \
                        if (__builtin_constant_p((v)) && (v) == 0)      \
                                __memzero((__p),(__n));                 \
                        else                                            \
                                memset((__p),(v),(__n));                \
                }                                                       \
                (__p);                                                  \
        })

Apparently gcc gets confused by the check for "size != 0" and believes
that the size might be zero when it gets to the line that does "if
(s[count-1] == '\n')", so it would access data outside of the array.

gcc is clearly wrong here, since this condition was already checked
earlier in the function and the 'size' value can not change in the
meantime.

Fortunately, we can work around it and get rid of the warning by
rearranging the function to check for zero size after doing the
copy_from_user.  It is still safe to pass a zero size into
copy_from_user, so it does not cause any side effects.

Mike Frysinger bbaecc0882 binfmt_misc: expand the register format limit to 1920 bytes
The current code places a 256 byte limit on the registration format.
This ends up being fairly limited when you try to do matching against a
binary format like ELF:

 - the magic & mask formats cannot have any embedded NUL chars
   (string_unescape_inplace halts at the first NUL)
 - each escape sequence quadruples the size: \x00 is needed for NUL
 - trying to match bytes at the start of the file as well as further
   on leads to a lot of \x00 sequences in the mask
 - magic & mask have to be the same length (when decoded)
 - still need bytes for the other fields
 - impossible!

Let's look at a concrete (and common) example: using QEMU to run MIPS
ELFs.  The name field uses 11 bytes "qemu-mipsel".  The interp uses 20
bytes "/usr/bin/qemu-mipsel".  The type & flags takes up 4 bytes.  We
need 7 bytes for the delimiter (usually ":").  We can skip offset.  So
already we're down to 107 bytes to use with the magic/mask instead of
the real limit of 128 (BINPRM_BUF_SIZE).  If people use shell code to
register (which they do the majority of the time), they're down to ~26
possible bytes since the escape sequence must be \x##.

The ELF format looks like (both 32 & 64 bit):

	e_ident: 16 bytes
	e_type: 2 bytes
	e_machine: 2 bytes

Those 20 bytes are enough for most architectures because they have so few
formats in the first place, thus they can be uniquely identified.  That
also means for shell users, since 20 is smaller than 26, they can sanely
register a handler.

But for some targets (like MIPS), we need to poke further.  The ELF fields
continue on:

	e_entry: 4 or 8 bytes
	e_phoff: 4 or 8 bytes
	e_shoff: 4 or 8 bytes
	e_flags: 4 bytes

We only care about e_flags here as that includes the bits to identify
whether the ELF is O32/N32/N64.  But now we have to consume another 16
bytes (for 32 bit ELFs) or 28 bytes (for 64 bit ELFs) just to match the
flags.  If every byte is escaped, we send 288 more bytes to the kernel
((20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 12 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} + 4
{e_flags}) * 2 {mask,magic} * 4 {escape}) and we've clearly blown our
budget.

Even if we try to be clever and do the decoding ourselves (rather than
relying on the kernel to process \x##), we still can't hit the mark --
string_unescape_inplace treats mask & magic as C strings so NUL cannot
be embedded.  That leaves us with having to pass \x00 for the 12/24
entry/phoff/shoff bytes (as those will be completely random addresses),
and that is a minimum requirement of 48/96 bytes for the mask alone.
Add up the rest and we blow through it (this is for 64 bit ELFs):
magic: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 24 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} +
       4 {e_flags} = 48              # ^^ See note below.
mask: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 96 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} +
       4 {e_flags} = 120
Remember above we had 107 left over, and now we're at 168.  This is of
course the *best* case scenario -- you'll also want to have NUL bytes
in the magic & mask too to match literal zeros.

Note: the reason we can use 24 in the magic is that we can work off of the
fact that for bytes the mask would clobber, we can stuff any value into
magic that we want.  So when mask is \x00, we don't need the magic to also
be \x00, it can be an unescaped raw byte like '!'.  This lets us handle
more formats (barely) under the current 256 limit, but that's a pretty
tall hoop to force people to jump through.

With all that said, let's bump the limit from 256 bytes to 1920.  This way
we support escaping every byte of the mask & magic field (which is 1024
bytes by themselves -- 128 * 4 * 2), and we leave plenty of room for other
fields.  Like long paths to the interpreter (when you have source in your
/really/long/homedir/qemu/foo).  Since the current code stuffs more than
one structure into the same buffer, we leave a bit of space to easily
round up to 2k.  1920 is just as arbitrary as 256 ;).

Eric W. Biederman 7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Kees Cook b66c598401 exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.

Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules.  Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted.  They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack.  This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.

After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules.  As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.

This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp.  To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is.  Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

Kees Cook d740269867 exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth
To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.

This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:

        if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) {
                *argv-- = cmd;
                *argv = cmd = path_bshell;
                goto repeat;
        }

The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.

Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

Jan Kara dbd5768f87 vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()
After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.
