Before this change, if a multithreaded process forks while one of its
threads is changing a signal handler using sigaction(), the memcpy() in
copy_sighand() can race with the struct assignment in do_sigaction(). It
isn't clear whether this can cause corruption of the userspace signal
handler pointer, but it definitely can cause inconsistency between
different fields of struct sigaction.
Take the appropriate spinlock to avoid this.
I have tested that this patch prevents inconsistency between sa_sigaction
and sa_flags, which is possible before this patch.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result
hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for
most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups
(syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup <
RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall
is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent
machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires
setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task
hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The
additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because
usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug
localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests.
Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to
set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs.
The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl,
similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value
of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to
timeout.

"It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts:
- The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
of processes or just a single process.
- With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
appear to be received after the fork completes"

Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8.
The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the
jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All
the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with
__GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited
by the job's limit.
The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in
whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases
where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg
different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series
contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head.
The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large
or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events
are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should
be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can
be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which
buffer_head objects are being allocated.
To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge
kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg
of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg
of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use
the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge
for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope.
This patch (of 2):
A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or
unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause
system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the
fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener.
However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the
producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event
producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the
producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener.
There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from
dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and
inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the
listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches.
The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as
they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is
unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events
attached to the inode.
The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event
producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations
to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the
fsnotify_group structure of the listener.
This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size
same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling
the holes.

report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to
continually restart preventing an application from making progress.
The code was being overly pessimistic. Fork needs to guarantee that a
signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the
fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the
fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child. For
signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single
process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically
delivered after the fork().
While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss
signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by
another thread. Similarly the current code will also miss blocked
signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will
not appear pending during fork.
Add a list of each thread that is currently forking, and keep on that
list a signal set that records all of the signals sent to multiple
processes. When fork completes initialize the new processes
shared_pending signal set with it. The calculate_sigpending function
will see those signals and set TIF_SIGPENDING causing the new task to
take the slow path to userspace to handle those signals. Making it
appear as if those signals were received immediately after the fork.
It is not possible to send real time signals to multiple processes and
exceptions don't go to multiple processes, which means that that are
no signals sent to multiple processes that require siginfo. This
means it is safe to not bother collecting siginfo on signals sent
during fork.
The sigaction of a child of fork is initially the same as the
sigaction of the parent process. So a signal the parent ignores the
child will also initially ignore. Therefore it is safe to ignore
signals sent to multiple processes and ignored by the forking process.
Signals sent to only a single process or only a single thread and delivered
during fork are treated as if they are received after the fork, and generally
not dealt with. They won't cause any problems.
V2: Added removal from the multiprocess list on failure.
V3: Use -ERESTARTNOINTR directly
V4: - Don't queue both SIGCONT and SIGSTOP
- Initialize signal_struct.multiprocess in init_task
- Move setting of shared_pending to before the new task
is visible to signals. This prevents signals from comming
in before shared_pending.signal is set to delayed.signal
and being lost.
V5: - rework list add and delete to account for idle threads
v6: - Use sigdelsetmask when removing stop signals

Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
There are only two signals that are delivered to every member of a
signal group: SIGSTOP and SIGKILL. Signal delivery requires every
signal appear to be delivered either before or after a clone syscall.
SIGKILL terminates the clone so does not need to be considered. Which
leaves only SIGSTOP that needs to be considered when creating new
threads.
Today in the event of a group stop TIF_SIGPENDING will get set and the
fork will restart ensuring the fork syscall participates in the group
stop.
A fork (especially of a process with a lot of memory) is one of the
most expensive system so we really only want to restart a fork when
necessary.
It is easy so check to see if a SIGSTOP is ongoing and have the new
thread join it immediate after the clone completes. Making it appear
the clone completed happened just before the SIGSTOP.
The calculate_sigpending function will see the bits set in jobctl and
set TIF_SIGPENDING to ensure the new task takes the slow path to userspace.
V2: The call to task_join_group_stop was moved before the new task is
added to the thread group list. This should not matter as
sighand->siglock is held over both the addition of the threads,
the call to task_join_group_stop and do_signal_stop. But the change
is trivial and it is one less thing to worry about when reading
the code.

We were hitting a panic in production where we put too many times on the
request queue. This is because we'd get the throttle_queue of the
parent if we fork()'ed while we needed to be throttled, but we didn't
have a reference on it. Instead just clear these flags on fork so the
child doesn't pay for the sins of its father.

In practice this does not change anything as testing for fatal_signal_pending
and exiting for with an error code duplicates the work of the next clause
which recalculates pending signals and then exits fork if any are pending.
In both cases the pending signal will trigger the slow path when existing
to userspace, and the fatal signal will cause do_exit to be called.
The advantage of making this a separate test is that it makes it clear
processing the fatal signal will terminate the fork, and it allows the
rest of the signal logic to be updated without fear that this important
case will be lost.

Normally this would be something that would be handled by handling
signals that are sent to a group of processes but in this case the
forking process is not a member of the group being signaled. Thus
special code is needed to prevent a race with pid namespaces exiting,
and fork adding new processes within them.
Move this test up before the signal restart just in case signals are
also pending. Fatal conditions should take presedence over restarts.

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.
We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.
Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion:
# new vma:
kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc()
# copy old vma
kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old)
# free vma
kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma)
to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.
Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.
The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.
The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.
Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.
This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

The mm_struct always contains a cpumask bitmap, regardless of
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. That means the first step can be to
simplify things, and simply have one bitmask at the end of the
mm_struct for the mm_cpumask.
This does necessitate moving everything else in mm_struct into
an anonymous sub-structure, which can be randomized when struct
randomization is enabled.
The second step is to determine the correct size for the
mm_struct slab object from the size of the mm_struct
(excluding the CPU bitmap) and the size the cpumask.
For init_mm we can simply allocate the maximum size this
kernel is compiled for, since we only have one init_mm
in the system, anyway.

As a theoretical problem, dup_mmap() of an mm_struct with 60000+ vmas
can loop while potentially allocating memory, with mm->mmap_sem held for
write by current thread. This is bad if current thread was selected as
an OOM victim, for current thread will continue allocations using memory
reserves while OOM reaper is unable to reclaim memory.
As an actually observable problem, it is not difficult to make OOM
reaper unable to reclaim memory if the OOM victim is blocked at
i_mmap_lock_write() in this loop. Unfortunately, since nobody can
explain whether it is safe to use killable wait there, let's check for
SIGKILL before trying to allocate memory. Even without an OOM event,
there is no point with continuing the loop from the beginning if current
thread is killed.
I tested with debug printk(). This patch should be safe because we
already fail if security_vm_enough_memory_mm() or
kmem_cache_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) fails and exit_mmap() handles it.

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.
