[ Upstream commit bbb6d0f3e1 ]

We need to increment the ucounts reference counter befor security_prepare_creds()
because this function may fail and abort_creds() will try to decrement
this reference.

b2c4d9a33c Add a reference to ucounts for each cred
[ Upstream commit 905ae01c4a ]

For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the
global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it
in struct cred. Adding a pointer to ucounts in the struct cred will
allow to track RLIMIT_NPROC not only for user in the system, but for
user in the user_namespace.

Updating ucounts may require memory allocation which may fail. So, we
cannot change cred.ucounts in the commit_creds() because this function
cannot fail and it should always return 0. For this reason, we modify
cred.ucounts before calling the commit_creds().

Changelog

v6:
* Fix null-ptr-deref in is_ucounts_overlimit() detected by trinity. This
  error was caused by the fact that cred_alloc_blank() left the ucounts
  pointer empty.

87b047d2be exec: Teach prepare_exec_creds how exec treats uids & gids
It is almost possible to use the result of prepare_exec_creds with no
modifications during exec.  Update prepare_exec_creds to initialize
the suid and the fsuid to the euid, and the sgid and the fsgid to the
egid.  This is all that is needed to handle the common case of exec
when nothing special like a setuid exec is happening.

That this preserves the existing behavior of exec can be verified
by examing bprm_fill_uid and cap_bprm_set_creds.

This change makes it clear that the later parts of exec that
update bprm->cred are just need to handle special cases such
as setuid exec and change of domains.

8379bb84be keys: Fix request_key() cache
When the key cached by request_key() and co.  is cleaned up on exit(),
the code looks in the wrong task_struct, and so clears the wrong cache.
This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel
build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a
use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys.

Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather
than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and
potentially run in another task).

84029fd04c memcg: account security cred as well to kmemcg
The cred_jar kmem_cache is already memcg accounted in the current kernel
but cred->security is not.  Account cred->security to kmemcg.

Recently we saw high root slab usage on our production and on further
inspection, we found a buggy application leaking processes.  Though that
buggy application was contained within its memcg but we observe much
more system memory overhead, couple of GiBs, during that period.  This
overhead can adversely impact the isolation on the system.

One source of high overhead we found was cred->security objects, which
have a lifetime of at least the life of the process which allocated
them.

a29a0a467e Merge branch 'access-creds'
The access() (and faccessat()) credentials change can cause an
unnecessary load on the RCU machinery because every access() call ends
up freeing the temporary access credential using RCU.

This isn't really noticeable on small machines, but if you have hundreds
of cores you can cause huge slowdowns due to RCU storms.

It's easy to avoid: the temporary access crededntials aren't actually
normally accessed using RCU at all, so we can avoid the whole issue by
just marking them as such.

d7852fbd0f access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials
It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
->cred entirely.  Only ->real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

Pull request_key improvements from David Howells:
 "These are all request_key()-related, including a fix and some improvements:

   - Fix the lack of a Link permission check on a key found by
     request_key(), thereby enabling request_key() to link keys that
     don't grant this permission to the target keyring (which must still
     grant Write permission).

     Note that the key must be in the caller's keyrings already to be
     found.

   - Invalidate used request_key authentication keys rather than
     revoking them, so that they get cleaned up immediately rather than
     hanging around till the expiry time is passed.

   - Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so
     that a request_key_rcu() can be provided. This can be called in RCU
     mode, so it can't sleep and can't upcall - but it can be called
     from LOOKUP_RCU pathwalk mode.

   - Cache the latest positive result of request_key*() temporarily in
     task_struct so that filesystems that make a lot of request_key()
     calls during pathwalk can take advantage of it to avoid having to
     redo the searching. This requires CONFIG_KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE=y.

     It is assumed that the key just found is likely to be used multiple
     times in each step in an RCU pathwalk, and is likely to be reused
     for the next step too.

     Note that the cleanup of the cache is done on TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
     just before userspace resumes, and on exit"

7743c48e54 keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct
If a filesystem uses keys to hold authentication tokens, then it needs a
token for each VFS operation that might perform an authentication check -
either by passing it to the server, or using to perform a check based on
authentication data cached locally.

For open files this isn't a problem, since the key should be cached in the
file struct since it represents the subject performing operations on that
file descriptor.

During pathwalk, however, there isn't anywhere to cache the key, except
perhaps in the nameidata struct - but that isn't exposed to the
filesystems.  Further, a pathwalk can incur a lot of operations, calling
one or more of the following, for instance:

	->lookup()
	->permission()
	->d_revalidate()
	->d_automount()
	->get_acl()
	->getxattr()

on each dentry/inode it encounters - and each one may need to call
request_key().  And then, at the end of pathwalk, it will call the actual
operation:

	->mkdir()
	->mknod()
	->getattr()
	->open()
	...

which may need to go and get the token again.

However, it is very likely that all of the operations on a single
dentry/inode - and quite possibly a sequence of them - will all want to use
the same authentication token, which suggests that caching it would be a
good idea.

To this end:

 (1) Make it so that a positive result of request_key() and co. that didn't
     require upcalling to userspace is cached temporarily in task_struct.

 (2) The cache is 1 deep, so a new result displaces the old one.

 (3) The key is released by exit and by notify-resume.

 (4) The cache is cleared in a newly forked process.

2e21865faf keys: sparse: Fix key_fs[ug]id_changed()
Sparse warnings are incurred by key_fs[ug]id_changed() due to unprotected
accesses of tsk->cred, which is marked __rcu.

Fix this by passing the new cred struct to these functions from
commit_creds() rather than the task pointer.

98c8865136 SELinux: Remove cred security blob poisoning
The SELinux specific credential poisioning only makes sense
if SELinux is managing the credentials. As the intent of this
patch set is to move the blob management out of the modules
and into the infrastructure, the SELinux specific code has
to go. The poisioning could be introduced into the infrastructure
at some later date.

a6d8e7637f cred: export get_task_cred().
There is no reason that modules should not be able
to use this, and NFS will need it when converted to
use 'struct cred'.

97d0fb239c cred: add get_cred_rcu()
Sometimes we want to opportunistically get a
ref to a cred in an rcu_read_lock protected section.
get_task_cred() does this, and NFS does as similar thing
with its own credential structures.
To prepare for NFS converting to use 'struct cred' more
uniformly, define get_cred_rcu(), and use it in
get_task_cred().

d89b22d46a cred: add cred_fscmp() for comparing creds.
NFS needs to compare to credentials, to see if they can
be treated the same w.r.t. filesystem access.  Sometimes
an ordering is needed when credentials are used as a key
to an rbtree.
NFS currently has its own private credential management from
before 'struct cred' existed.  To move it over to more consistent
use of 'struct cred' we need a comparison function.
This patch adds that function.
