2019-03-08connector: fix unsafe usage of ->real_parentLi RongQing1-4/+18
proc_exit_connector() uses ->real_parent lockless. This is not safe that its parent can go away at any moment, so use RCU to protect it, and ensure that this task is not released.

2018-05-01connector: add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit eventsStefan Strogin1-0/+4
The intention is to get notified of process failures as soon as possible, before a possible core dumping (which could be very long) (e.g. in some process-manager). Coredump and exit process events are perfect for such use cases (see 2b5faa4c553f "connector: Added coredumping event to the process connector"). The problem is that for now the process-manager cannot know the parent of a dying process using connectors. This could be useful if the process-manager should monitor for failures only children of certain parents, so we could filter the coredump and exit events by parent process and/or thread ID. Add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit process connectors event data. Signed-off-by: Stefan Strogin <sstrogin@cisco.com> Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-10-22drivers, connector: convert cn_callback_entry.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_tElena Reshetova2-3/+3
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable cn_callback_entry.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

Lets remove the two modular references, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

2016-06-28connector: fix out-of-order cn_proc netlink message deliveryAaron Campbell1-21/+22
The proc connector messages include a sequence number, allowing userspace programs to detect lost messages. However, performing this detection is currently more difficult than necessary, since netlink messages can be delivered to the application out-of-order. To fix this, leave pre-emption disabled during cn_netlink_send(), and use GFP_NOWAIT. The following was written as a test case. Building the kernel w/ make -j32 proved a reliable way to generate out-of-order cn_proc messages. int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { static uint32_t last_seq[CPU_SETSIZE], seq; int cpu, fd; struct sockaddr_nl sa; struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) { struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr; struct __attribute__((__packed__)) { struct cn_msg cn_msg; struct proc_event cn_proc; }; } rmsg; struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) { struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr; struct __attribute__((__packed__)) { struct cn_msg cn_msg; enum proc_cn_mcast_op cn_mcast; }; } smsg; fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR); if (fd < 0) { perror("socket"); } sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK; sa.nl_groups = CN_IDX_PROC; sa.nl_pid = getpid(); if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa)) < 0) { perror("bind"); } memset(&smsg, 0, sizeof(smsg)); smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_len = sizeof(smsg); smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_pid = getpid(); smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_type = NLMSG_DONE; smsg.cn_msg.id.idx = CN_IDX_PROC; smsg.cn_msg.id.val = CN_VAL_PROC; smsg.cn_msg.len = sizeof(enum proc_cn_mcast_op); smsg.cn_mcast = PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN; if (send(fd, &smsg, sizeof(smsg), 0) != sizeof(smsg)) { perror("send"); } while (recv(fd, &rmsg, sizeof(rmsg), 0) == sizeof(rmsg)) { cpu = rmsg.cn_proc.cpu; if (cpu < 0) { continue; } seq = rmsg.cn_msg.seq; if ((last_seq[cpu] != 0) && (seq != last_seq[cpu] + 1)) { printf("out-of-order seq=%d on cpu=%d\n", seq, cpu); } last_seq[cpu] = seq; } /* NOTREACHED */ perror("recv"); return -1; } Signed-off-by: Aaron Campbell <aaron@monkey.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman1-1/+2
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2014-05-27connector: allow multiple messages to be sent in one packetDavid Fries1-2/+15
This increases the amount of bundling to reduce the number of packets sent. For the one wire use there can be multiple struct w1_netlink_cmd in a struct w1_netlink_msg and multiple of those in struct cn_msg, and with this change multiple of those in a struct nlmsghdr, and at each level the len identifies there being multiple of the next.

2014-04-24net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messagesEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

2013-11-14connector: improved unaligned access error fixChris Metcalf1-30/+42
In af3e095a1fb4, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned(). Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic. A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes. The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.

This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space.

2011-09-28connector: add comm change event report to proc connectorVladimir Zapolskiy1-0/+26
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in different manner. A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime. Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions. It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the matter.

2011-07-18connector: add an event for monitoring process tracersVladimir Zapolskiy1-0/+35
This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every successful process tracer attach or detach. If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On disconnection null process id is returned. Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined process policies can be applied to them if needed. Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2-0/+2
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.
