      proc: protect mm start_code/end_code in /proc/pid/stat · 56df433e
      Kees Cook authored 
      commit 5883f57c upstream.

While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit
f83ce3e6 ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged
processes")), the start_code and end_code values were not.  This would
allow the text location of a PIE binary to leak, defeating ASLR.

Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value since
"ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take
start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave.  Thanks to
Brad Spengler for pointing this out.

      procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/maps heap check · 513d4681
      Aaro Koskinen authored 
      commit 0db0c01b upstream.

The current code fails to print the "[heap]" marking if the heap is split
into multiple mappings.

Fix the check so that the marking is displayed in all possible cases:
	1. vma matches exactly the heap
	2. the heap vma is merged e.g. with bss
	3. the heap vma is splitted e.g. due to locked pages

Test cases. In all cases, the process should have mapping(s) with
[heap] marking:

	(1) vma matches exactly the heap

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>

	int main (void)
	{
		if (sbrk(4096) != (void *)-1) {
			printf("check /proc/%d/maps\n", (int)getpid());
			while (1)
				sleep(1);
		}
		return 0;
	}

	# ./test1
	check /proc/553/maps
	[1] + Stopped                    ./test1
	# cat /proc/553/maps | head -4
	00008000-00009000 r-xp 00000000 01:00 3113640    /test1
	00010000-00011000 rw-p 00000000 01:00 3113640    /test1
	00011000-00012000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
	4006f000-40070000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0

	(2) the heap vma is merged

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>

	char foo[4096] = "foo";
	char bar[4096];

	int main (void)
	{
		if (sbrk(4096) != (void *)-1) {
			printf("check /proc/%d/maps\n", (int)getpid());
			while (1)
				sleep(1);
		}
		return 0;
	}

	# ./test2
	check /proc/556/maps
	[2] + Stopped                    ./test2
	# cat /proc/556/maps | head -4
	00008000-00009000 r-xp 00000000 01:00 3116312    /test2
	00010000-00012000 rw-p 00000000 01:00 3116312    /test2
	00012000-00014000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
	4004a000-4004b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0

	(3) the heap vma is splitted (this fails without the patch)

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>

	int main (void)
	{
		if ((sbrk(4096) != (void *)-1) && !mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) &&
		    (sbrk(4096) != (void *)-1)) {
			printf("check /proc/%d/maps\n", (int)getpid());
			while (1)
				sleep(1);
		}
		return 0;
	}

	# ./test3
	check /proc/559/maps
	[1] + Stopped                    ./test3
	# cat /proc/559/maps|head -4
	00008000-00009000 r-xp 00000000 01:00 3119108    /test3
	00010000-00011000 rw-p 00000000 01:00 3119108    /test3
	00011000-00012000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
	00012000-00013000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]

It looks like the bug has been there forever, and since it only results in
some information missing from a procfile, it does not fulfil the -stable
"critical issue" criteria.

      ext3: skip orphan cleanup on rocompat fs · c279e36a
      Amir Goldstein authored 
      commit ce654b37 upstream.

Orphan cleanup is currently executed even if the file system has some
number of unknown ROCOMPAT features, which deletes inodes and frees
blocks, which could be very bad for some RO_COMPAT features.

This patch skips the orphan cleanup if it contains readonly compatible
features not known by this ext3 implementation, which would prevent
the fs from being mounted (or remounted) readwrite.

      Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code · 62a9fca6
      Julien Tinnes authored 
      commit da48524e upstream.

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.

Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.

Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.

So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

      PCI: return correct value when writing to the "reset" attribute · e2ecd6d8
      Michal Schmidt authored 
      commit 447c5dd7 upstream.

A successful write() to the "reset" sysfs attribute should return the
number of bytes written, not 0. Otherwise userspace (bash) retries the
write over and over again.

      x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded · 75a98202
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      commit e5f15b45 upstream.

Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c
and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and
tries to clean from _brk_end to _end.
It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently
does not.
Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory
hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.

This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so
we can do everything in one step.
Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

      xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped · 856460aa
      Stefano Stabellini authored 
      commit 14988a4d upstream.

Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
list).

Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
mappings that is the pfn backing _end.

      PCI hotplug: acpiphp: set current_state to D0 in register_slot · 8f2056b1
      Stefano Stabellini authored 
      commit 47e9037a upstream.

If a device doesn't support power management (pm_cap == 0) but it is
acpi_pci_power_manageable() because there is a _PS0 method declared for
it and _EJ0 is also declared for the slot then nobody is going to set
current_state = PCI_D0 for this device.  This is what I think it is
happening:

pci_enable_device
    |
__pci_enable_device_flags
/* here we do not set current_state because !pm_cap */
    |
do_pci_enable_device
    |
pci_set_power_state
    |
__pci_start_power_transition
    |
pci_platform_power_transition
/* platform_pci_power_manageable() calls acpi_pci_power_manageable that
 * returns true */
    |
platform_pci_set_power_state
/* acpi_pci_set_power_state gets called and does nothing because the
 * acpi device has _EJ0, see the comment "If the ACPI device has _EJ0,
 * ignore the device" */

at this point if we refer to the commit message that introduced the
comment above (10b3dcae), it is up to
the hotplug driver to set the state to D0.
However AFAICT the pci hotplug driver never does, in fact
drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c:register_slot sets the slot flags to
(SLOT_ENABLED | SLOT_POWEREDON) but it does not set the pci device
current state to PCI_D0.

So my proposed fix is also to set current_state = PCI_D0 in
register_slot.
Comments are very welcome.

      shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again · c2234bf9
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      commit bee4c36a upstream.

Up to 2.6.22, you could use remap_file_pages(2) on a tmpfs file or a
shared mapping of /dev/zero or a shared anonymous mapping.  In 2.6.23 we
disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe
mappings.  We made sure to set it in shmem_mmap() for tmpfs files, but
missed it in shmem_zero_setup() for the others.  Fix that at last.

      aio: wake all waiters when destroying ctx · 5b390b74
      Roland Dreier authored 
      commit e91f90bb upstream.

The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy() only
wakes up one of the threads.  Fix this by using wake_up_all() in the aio
code paths where we want to make sure no one gets stuck.

	// t.c -- compile with gcc -lpthread -laio t.c

	#include <libaio.h>
	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	static const int nthr = 2;

	void *getev(void *ctx)
	{
		struct io_event ev;
		io_getevents(ctx, 1, 1, &ev, NULL);
		printf("io_getevents returned\n");
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		io_context_t ctx = 0;
		pthread_t thread[nthr];
		int i;

		io_setup(1024, &ctx);

		for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
			pthread_create(&thread[i], NULL, getev, ctx);

		sleep(1);

		io_destroy(ctx);

		for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
			pthread_join(thread[i], NULL);

		return 0;
	}
