16 years agouml: kill processes instead of panicing kernel
Jeff Dike [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:30:58 +0000 (22:30 -0800)]
uml: kill processes instead of panicing kernel

UML was panicing in the case of failures of libc calls which shouldn't happen.
 This is an overreaction since a failure from libc doesn't normally mean that
kernel data structures are in an unknown state.  Instead, the current process
should just be killed if there is no way to recover.

The case that prompted this was a failure of PTRACE_SETREGS restoring the same
state that was read by PTRACE_GETREGS.  It appears that when a process tries
to load a bogus value into a segment register, it segfaults (as expected) and
the value is actually loaded and is seen by PTRACE_GETREGS (not expected).

This case is fixed by forcing a fatal SIGSEGV on the process so that it
immediately dies.  fatal_sigsegv was added for this purpose.  It was declared
as noreturn, so in order to pursuade gcc that it actually does not return, I
added a call to os_dump_core (and declared it noreturn) so that I get a core
file if somehow the process survives.

All other calls in arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c got the same treatment,
with failures causing the process to die instead of a kernel panic, with some
exceptions.

userspace_tramp exits with status 1 if anything goes wrong there.  That will
cause start_userspace to return an error.  copy_context_skas0 and
map_stub_pages also now return errors instead of panicing.  Callers of thes
functions were changed to check for errors and do something appropriate.
Usually that's to return an error to their callers.
check_skas3_ptrace_faultinfo just exits since that's too early to do anything
else.

save_registers, restore_registers, and init_registers now return status
instead of panicing on failure, with their callers doing something
appropriate.

There were also duplicate declarations of save_registers and restore_registers
in os.h - these are gone.

I noticed and fixed up some whitespace damage.

uml: simplify SIGSEGV handling

Simplify the page fault stub by not masking signals while it is running.  This
allows it to signal that it is done by executing an instruction which will
generate a SIGTRAP (int3 on x86) rather than running sigreturn by hand after
queueing a blocked SIGUSR1.

userspace_tramp now no longer puts anything in the SIGSEGV sa_mask, but it
does add SA_NODEFER to sa_flags so that SIGSEGV is still enabled after the
signal handler fails to run sigreturn.

SIGWINCH is just blocked so that we don't have to deal with it and the signal
masks used by wait_stub_done are updated to reflect the smaller number of

uml: header untangling

Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were
needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header.

arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no
fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and
archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf.

pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's
inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h.

elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and
elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to
arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread
doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h.

arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and
arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference
task_structs.  Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from
"" to <>.

arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno
constants.

asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct.

asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and
system.h for BUG_ON.

asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h.

asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it.  So,
that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of
mm_segment_t-related stuff.  thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and
includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion.  So, the definition is
placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h.  thread_info.h
also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE.

Mark Gross [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:30:08 +0000 (22:30 -0800)]
pm qos infrastructure and interface

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year.  It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.

This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.

Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.

The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter.  The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h.  This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.

For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value.  The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list.  Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.

>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:

pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):

  Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
  parameter with the target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is
  recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
  is now different.

pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):

  Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
  and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
  aggregated target is changed.  with that name is already registered.

pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):

  Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
  removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
  if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.

>From user mode:

  Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement.  To provide for
  automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
  its parameter requirements in the following way:

  To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
  process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
  network_throughput]

  As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
  requirement on the parameter.  The name of the requirement is
  "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
  call.

  To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
  value to the open device node.  This translates to a
  pm_qos_update_requirement call.

  To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
  node.

allmodconfig that hit up against these missing APIs.

vmalloc_user() and simply made a wrapper.  As all current nommu platforms are
32-bit addressable, there's no special casing we have to do for ZONE_DMA and
things of that nature as per GFP_VMALLOC32.

remap_vmalloc_range() needs to check VM_USERMAP in order to figure out whether
we permit the remap or not, which means that we also have to rework the
vmalloc_user() code to grovel for the VMA and set the flag.

16 years agoSmack: Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel
Casey Schaufler [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:29:50 +0000 (22:29 -0800)]
Smack: Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel

Smack is the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.

Smack implements mandatory access control (MAC) using labels
attached to tasks and data containers, including files, SVIPC,
and other tasks. Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires
an absolute minimum of application support and a very small
amount of configuration data.

Smack uses extended attributes and
provides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used
elsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides
a pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of
system Smack attributes.

The patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,
and x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on

    http://www.schaufler-ca.com

Development has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine
environment and on an old Sony laptop.

Smack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached
to a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to
access. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text
strings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved
for system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality
comparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are
used. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not
include "/".

A file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.

Smack defines and uses these labels:

    "*" - pronounced "star"
    "_" - pronounced "floor"
    "^" - pronounced "hat"
    "?" - pronounced "huh"

The access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:

1. Any access requested by a task labeled "*" is denied.
2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled "^"
   is permitted.
3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled "_"
   is permitted.
4. Any access requested on an object labeled "*" is permitted.
5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same
   label is permitted.
6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded
   rule set is permitted.
7. Any other access is denied.

Rules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access
triples to /smack/load.

Smack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell&LaPadula
sensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting
configurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to
accommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time
of day.

Some practical use cases:

Hierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses
for MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often
unclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack
to support this, these rules could be defined:

   C        Unclass rx
   S        C       rx
   S        Unclass rx
   TS       S       rx
   TS       C       rx
   TS       Unclass rx

A TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.
An S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that
TS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it
has to be explicitly stated.

Non-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the
usual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a
subject cannot access an object with a different label no
access rules are required to implement compartmentalization.

A case that the Bell & LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated
with this Smack access rule:

A case that Bell&LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:

    ESPN    ABC   r
    ABC     ESPN  r

On my portable video device I have two applications, one that
shows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants
to show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will
only provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN
is covering it. Each side can look at the other's info, neither
can change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which
is just as well all things considered.

Another case that I especially like:

    SatData Guard   w
    Guard   Publish w

A program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and
accepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.
The Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome
and if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.
This program then puts the information passed in an appropriate
place. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish
file system object because file system semanitic require read as
well as write.

The four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here
are all quite real, and problems I've been asked to solve over
the years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems
while the last two you can't without invoking privilege, at least
for a while.

16 years agocapabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set
Serge E. Hallyn [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:29:45 +0000 (22:29 -0800)]
capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set

The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
 Currently cap_bset is per-system.  It can be manipulated through sysctl,
but only init can add capabilities.  Root can remove capabilities.  By
default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.

This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
enabled.  It is inherited at fork from parent.  Noone can add elements,
CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.

One example use of this is to start a safer container.  For instance, until
device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.

The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately.  It will only
affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s.  It also does not affect pI,
and exec() does not constrain pI'.  So to really start a shell with no way
of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do

prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
cap_value_t caparray[1];
caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
cap_set_proc(cap);
cap_free(cap);

The following test program will get and set the bounding
set (but not pI).  For instance

./bset get
(lists capabilities in bset)
./bset drop cap_net_raw
(starts shell with new bset)
(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
file capabilities to try to increase caps)

writeback: speed up writeback of big dirty files

After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the
writeback for all data after 30s delays.  But sometimes the following
happens instead:

- after 30s:    ~4M
- after 5s:     ~4M
- after 5s:     all remaining 92M

Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this:

s_io            s_more_io
-------------------------
1) 100M,1K         0
2) 1K              96M
3) 0               96M
1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file

2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more

3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG)

nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all
been written out.  The big dirty file is actually still sitting in
s_more_io.  We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io
becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this
may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty.  It is also not an option to
draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this
might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync
time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug).

We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes.  So nr_to_write > 0
does not necessarily mean that "all data are written".  This patch
introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate that more io should
be done.  With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next
kupdate invokation 5s later.

In sync_sb_inodes() we only set more_io on super_blocks we actually
visited.  This avoids the interaction between two pdflush deamons.

Also in __sync_single_inode() we don't blindly keep requeuing the io if the
filesystem cannot progress.  Failing to do so may lead to 100% iowait.

Nick Piggin [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:29:34 +0000 (22:29 -0800)]
mm: fix PageUptodate data race

After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to
actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the
page uptodate.

Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the
page contents can get stale data.

Fix this by having an smp_wmb before SetPageUptodate, and smp_rmb after
PageUptodate.

Many places that test PageUptodate, do so with the page locked, and this
would be enough to ensure memory ordering in those places if
SetPageUptodate were only called while the page is locked.  Unfortunately
that is not always the case for some filesystems, but it could be an idea
for the future.

Also bring the handling of anonymous page uptodateness in line with that of
file backed page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they
_are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be
marked as such.  Doing allows us to get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page
copying functions, which were especially added for anonymous pages for an
analogous memory ordering problem.  Both file and anonymous pages are
handled with the same barriers.

FAQ:
Q. Why not do this in flush_dcache_page?
A. Firstly, flush_dcache_page handles only one side (the smb side) of the
ordering protocol; we'd still need smp_rmb somewhere. Secondly, hiding away
memory barriers in a completely unrelated function is nasty; at least in the
PageUptodate macros, they are located together with (half) the operations
involved in the ordering. Thirdly, the smp_wmb is only required when first
bringing the page uptodate, wheras flush_dcache_page should be called each time
it is written to through the kernel mapping. It is logically the wrong place to
put it.

Q. Why does this increase my text size / reduce my performance / etc.
A. Because it is adding the necessary instructions to eliminate the data-race.

Q. Can it be improved?
A. Yes, eg. if you were to create a rule that all SetPageUptodate operations
run under the page lock, we could avoid the smp_rmb places where PageUptodate
is queried under the page lock. Requires audit of all filesystems and at least
some would need reworking. That's great you're interested, I'm eagerly awaiting
your patches.

I've written some test programs in ltp project.  During writing I met an
problem which I cannot solve in user land.  So I wrote a patch for linux
kernel.  Please, include this patch if acceptable.

The test program tests the 4th parameter of fadvise64_64:

    long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice);

My test case calls fadvise64_64 with invalid advice value and checks errno is
set to EINVAL.  About the advice parameter man page says:

    ...
    Permissible values for advice include:

   POSIX_FADV_NORMAL
                  ...
   POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL
                  ...
   POSIX_FADV_RANDOM
  ...
   POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
                  ...
   POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
                  ...
   POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED
  ...
    ERRORS
           ...
   EINVAL An invalid value was specified for advice.

However, I got a bug report that the system call invocations
in my test case returned 0 unexpectedly.

I've inspected the kernel code:

    asmlinkage long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
    {
    struct file *file = fget(fd);
    struct address_space *mapping;
    struct backing_dev_info *bdi;
    loff_t endbyte; /* inclusive */
    pgoff_t start_index;
    pgoff_t end_index;
    unsigned long nrpages;
    int ret = 0;

    if (!file)
    return -EBADF;

    if (S_ISFIFO(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_mode)) {
    ret = -ESPIPE;
    goto out;
    }

    mapping = file->f_mapping;
    if (!mapping || len < 0) {
    ret = -EINVAL;
    goto out;
    }

    if (mapping->a_ops->get_xip_page)
    /* no bad return value, but ignore advice */
    goto out;
    ...
    out:
    fput(file);
    return ret;
    }

I found the advice parameter is just ignored in the case
mapping->a_ops->get_xip_page is given. This behavior is different from
what is written on the man page. Is this o.k.?

get_xip_page is given if CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is true.
Anyway I cannot find the easy way to detect get_xip_page
field is given or CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is true from the
user space.

I propose the following patch which checks the advice parameter
even if get_xip_page is given.

16 years agoFix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal
Bjorn Steinbrink [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:29:28 +0000 (22:29 -0800)]
Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal

In 46d2277c796f9f4937bfa668c40b2e3f43e93dd0 ("Clean up and make
try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages"), try_to_free_buffers
was changed to bail out if the page was dirty.

That in turn caused truncate_complete_page to leak massive amounts of
memory, because the dirty bit was only cleared after the call to
try_to_free_buffers.

So the call to cancel_dirty_page was moved up to have the dirty bit
cleared early in 3e67c0987d7567ad666641164a153dca9a43b11d ("truncate:
clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()").

The problem with that fix is, that the page can be redirtied after
cancel_dirty_page was called, eg. like this:

truncate_complete_page()
  cancel_dirty_page() // PG_dirty cleared, decr. dirty pages
  do_invalidatepage()
    ext3_invalidatepage()
      journal_invalidatepage()
        journal_unmap_buffer()
          __dispose_buffer()
            __journal_unfile_buffer()
              __journal_temp_unlink_buffer()
                mark_buffer_dirty(); // PG_dirty set, incr. dirty pages

And then we end up with dirty pages being wrongly accounted.

As a result, in ecdfc9787fe527491baefc22dce8b2dbd5b2908d ("Resurrect
'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery") the changes to try_to_free_buffers
were reverted, so the original reason for the massive memory leak is
gone, and we can also revert the move of the call to cancel_dirty_page
from truncate_complete_page and get the accounting right again.

I'm not sure if it matters, but opposed to the final check in
__remove_from_page_cache, this one also cares about the task io
accounting, so maybe we want to use this instead, although it's not
quite the clean fix either.

skip writing data pages when inode is under I_SYNC

skip writing entirely.  Otherwise, we are double calling do_writepages()
