I just fixed a bug in copy_process when using the label bad_fork_cleanup_threadgroup_lock. While fixing the bug I looked closer at the label and realized it has been misnamed since 568ac888 ("cgroup: reduce read locked section of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem during fork"). Fix the name so that fork is easier to understand. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Move the label out of the ifdef as the ifdef around the label no longer makes sense (if it ever did).

Recently the kbuild robot reported two new errors: >> lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.o: warning: objtool: .text.unlikely: unexpected end of section >> arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.o: warning: objtool: oops_end() falls through to next function show_opcodes() I don't know why they did not occur in my test setup but after digging it I realized I had accidentally dropped a comma in tools/objtool/check.c when I renamed rewind_stack_do_exit to rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Add that comma back to fix objtool errors. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/202112140949.Uq5sFKR1-lkp@intel.com Fixes: 0e25498f ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead.")

The exit code of kernel threads has different semantics than the exit_code of userspace tasks. To avoid confusion and allow the userspace implementation to change as needed move the kernel thread exit code into struct kthread. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Today the rules are a bit iffy and arbitrary about which kernel threads have struct kthread present. Both idle threads and thread started with create_kthread want struct kthread present so that is effectively all kernel threads. Make the rule that if PF_KTHREAD and the task is running then struct kthread is present. This will allow the kernel thread code to using tsk->exit_code with different semantics from ordinary processes. To make ensure that struct kthread is present for all kernel threads move it's allocation into copy_process. Add a deallocation of struct kthread in exec for processes that were kernel threads. Move the allocation of struct kthread for the initial thread earlier so that it is not repeated for each additional idle thread. Move the initialization of struct kthread into set_kthread_struct so that the structure is always and reliably initailized. Clear set_child_tid in free_kthread_struct to ensure the kthread struct is reliably freed during exec. The function free_kthread_struct does not need to clear vfork_done during exec as exec_mm_release called from exec_mmap has already cleared vfork_done. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Update complete_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit. Change the name to reflect this change in functionality. All of the users of complete_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so this change makes it clear what is happening. Move the implementation of kthread_complete_and_exit from kernel/exit.c to to kernel/kthread.c. As this function is kthread specific it makes most sense to live with the kthread functions.

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications. The low byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal. While kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function exit status like -EPERM. Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

When the kernel detects it is oops or otherwise force killing a task while it exits the code poorly attempts to permanently stop the task from scheduling. I say poorly because it is possible for a task in TASK_UINTERRUPTIBLE to be woken up. As it makes no sense for the task to continue call do_task_dead instead which actually does the work and permanently removes the task from the scheduler. Guaranteeing the task will never be woken up again. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept. Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code is doing. As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

My s390 assembly is not particularly good so I have read the history of the reference to do_exit copy_thread and have been able to verify that do_exit is not used. The general argument is that s390 has been changed to use the generic kernel_thread and kernel_execve and the generic versions do not call do_exit. So it is strange to see a do_exit reference sitting there. The history of the do_exit reference in s390's version of copy_thread seems conclusive that the do_exit reference is something that lingers and should have been removed several years ago. Up through 8d19f15a ("[PATCH] s390 update (1/27): arch.") the s390 code made a call to the exit(2) system call when a kernel thread finished. Then kernel_thread_starter was added which branched directly to the value in register 11 when the kernel thread finshed. The value in register 11 was set in kernel_thread to "regs.gprs[11] = (unsigned long) do_exit" In commit 37fe5d41 ("s390: fold kernel_thread_helper() into ret_from_fork()") kernel_thread_starter was moved into entry.S and entry64.S unchanged (except for the syntax differences between inline assemly and in the assembly file). In commit f9a7e025 ("s390: switch to generic kernel_thread()") the assignment to "gprs[11]" was moved into copy_thread from the old kernel_thread. The helper kernel_thread_starter was still being used and was still branching to "%r11" at the end. In commit 30dcb099 ("s390: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics") kernel_thread_starter was changed to unconditionally branch to sysc_tracenogo instead to %r11 which held the value of do_exit. Unfortunately copy_thread was not updated to stop passing do_exit in "gprs[11]". In commit 56e62a73 ("s390: convert to generic entry") kernel_thread_starter was replaced by __ret_from_fork. And the code still continued to pass do_exit in "gprs[11]" despite __ret_from_fork not caring in the slightest. Remove this dead reference to do_exit to make it clear that s390 is not doing anything with do_exit in copy_thread.

I completed the first batch of signal changes for v5.17 against v5.16-rc1 before the SA_IMMUTABLE fixes where completed. Which leaves me with two lines of development that I want on my signal development branch both rooted at v5.16-rc1. Especially as I am hoping to reach the point of being able to remove SA_IMMUTABLE. Linus merged my SA_IMUTABLE fixes as: 7af959b5 ("Merge branch 'SA_IMMUTABLE-fixes-for-v5.16-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace") To avoid rebasing the development changes that are currently complete I am merging the work I sent upstream to Linus to make my life simpler. The SA_IMMUTABLE changes as they are described in Linus's merge commit. Pull exit-vs-signal handling fixes from Eric Biederman: "This is a small set of changes where debuggers were no longer able to intercept synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV, introduced by the exit cleanups. This is essentially the change you suggested with all of i's dotted and the t's crossed so that ptrace can intercept all of the cases it has been able to intercept the past, and all of the cases that made it to exit without giving ptrace a chance still don't give ptrace a chance" * 'SA_IMMUTABLE-fixes-for-v5.16-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: signal: Replace force_fatal_sig with force_exit_sig when in doubt signal: Don't always set SA_IMMUTABLE for forced signals Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added. Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect to be able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when the target process is not configured to handle those signals. Add force_exit_sig and use it instead of force_fatal_sig where historically the code has directly called do_exit. This has the implementation benefits of going through the signal exit path (including generating core dumps) without the danger of allowing userspace to ignore or change these signals. This avoids userspace regressions as older kernels exited with do_exit which debuggers also can not intercept. In the future is should be possible to improve the quality of implementation of the kernel by changing some of these force_exit_sig calls to force_fatal_sig. That can be done where it matters on a case-by-case basis with careful analysis.

Kyle Huey recently reported[1] that rr gets confused if SIGKILL prevents ptrace_signal from delivering a signal, as the kernel setups up a signal frame for a signal that rr did not have a chance to observe with ptrace. In looking into it I found a couple of bugs and a quality of implementation issue. - The test for signal_group_exit should be inside the for loop in get_signal. - Signals should be requeued on the same queue they were dequeued from. - When a fatal signal is pending ptrace_signal should not return another signal for delivery. Kyle Huey has verified[2] an earlier version of this change. I have reworked things one more time to completely fix the issues raised, and to keep the code maintainable long term. I have smoke tested this code and combined with a careful review I expect this code to work fine. Kyle if you can double check that my last round of changes still works for rr I would appreciate it.

More generally the problem is that while siglock was dropped a signal with process wide effect is short cirucit delivered to the entire process killing it, but the process continues to try and deliver another signal. In general it impossible to avoid all cases where work is performed after the process has been killed. In particular if the process is killed after get_signal returns the code will simply not know it has been killed until after delivering the signal frame to userspace. On the other hand when the code has already discovered the process has been killed and taken user space visible action that shows the kernel knows the process has been killed, it is just silly to then write the signal frame to the user space stack. Instead of being silly detect the process has been killed in ptrace_signal and requeue the signal so the code can pretend it was simply never dequeued for delivery. To test the process has been killed I use fatal_signal_pending rather than signal_group_exit to match the test in signal_pending_state which is used in schedule which is where ptrace_stop detects the process has been killed. Requeuing the signal so the code can pretend it was simply never dequeued improves the user space visible behavior that has been present since ebf5ebe3 ("[PATCH] signal-fixes-2.5.59-A4"). Kyle Huey verified that this change in behavior and makes rr happy.

In the event that a tracer changes which signal needs to be delivered and that signal is currently blocked then the signal needs to be requeued for later delivery. With the advent of CLONE_THREAD the kernel has 2 signal queues per task. The per process queue and the per task queue. Update the code so that if the signal is removed from the per process queue it is requeued on the per process queue. This is necessary to make it appear the signal was never dequeued. The rr debugger reasonably believes that the state of the process from the last ptrace_stop it observed until PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT can be recreated by simply letting a process run. If a SIGKILL interrupts a ptrace_stop this is not true today. So return signals to their original queue in ptrace_signal so that signals that are not delivered appear like they were never dequeued.

Recently while investigating a problem with rr and signals I noticed that siglock is dropped in ptrace_signal and get_signal does not jump to relock. Looking farther to see if the problem is anywhere else I see that do_signal_stop also returns if signal_group_exit is true. I believe that test can now never be true, but it is a bit hard to trace through and be certain. Testing signal_group_exit is not expensive, so move the test for signal_group_exit into the for loop inside of get_signal to ensure the test is never skipped improperly. This has been a potential problem since I added the test for signal_group_exit was added.

Add Kconfig support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough for both GCC and Clang. The compiler option is under configuration CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH, which is enabled by default. Special thanks to Nathan Chancellor who fixed the Clang bug[1][2]. This bugfix only appears in Clang 14.0.0, so older versions still contain the bug and -Wimplicit-fallthrough won't be enabled for them, for now. This concludes a long journey and now we are finally getting rid of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely. :) Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/9ed4a94d6451046a51ef393cd62f00710820a7e8 [1] Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51094 [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/115 Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/236Co-developed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

Pull zstd update from Nick Terrell: "Update to zstd-1.4.10. Add myself as the maintainer of zstd and update the zstd version in the kernel, which is now 4 years out of date, to a much more recent zstd release. This includes bug fixes, much more extensive fuzzing, and performance improvements. And generates the kernel zstd automatically from upstream zstd, so it is easier to keep the zstd verison up to date, and we don't fall so far out of date again. This includes 5 commits that update the zstd library version: - Adds a new kernel-style wrapper around zstd. This wrapper API is functionally equivalent to the subset of the current zstd API that is currently used. The wrapper API changes to be kernel style so that the symbols don't collide with zstd's symbols. The update to zstd-1.4.10 maintains the same API and preserves the semantics, so that none of the callers need to be updated. All callers are updated in the commit, because there are zero functional changes. - Adds an indirection for `lib/decompress_unzstd.c` so it doesn't depend on the layout of `lib/zstd/` to include every source file. This allows the next patch to be automatically generated. - Imports the zstd-1.4.10 source code. This commit is automatically generated from upstream zstd (https://github.com/facebook/zstd). - Adds me (terrelln@fb.com) as the maintainer of `lib/zstd`. - Fixes a newly added build warning for clang. The discussion around this patchset has been pretty long, so I've included a FAQ-style summary of the history of the patchset, and why we are taking this approach. Why do we need to update? ------------------------- The zstd version in the kernel is based off of zstd-1.3.1, which is was released August 20, 2017. Since then zstd has seen many bug fixes and performance improvements. And, importantly, upstream zstd is continuously fuzzed by OSS-Fuzz, and bug fixes aren't backported to older versions. So the only way to sanely get these fixes is to keep up to date with upstream zstd. There are no known security issues that affect the kernel, but we need to be able to update in case there are. And while there are no known security issues, there are relevant bug fixes. For example the problem with large kernel decompression has been fixed upstream for over 2 years [1] Additionally the performance improvements for kernel use cases are significant. Measured for x86_64 on my Intel i9-9900k @ 3.6 GHz: - BtrFS zstd compression at levels 1 and 3 is 5% faster - BtrFS zstd decompression+read is 15% faster - SquashFS zstd decompression+read is 15% faster - F2FS zstd compression+write at level 3 is 8% faster - F2FS zstd decompression+read is 20% faster - ZRAM decompression+read is 30% faster - Kernel zstd decompression is 35% faster - Initramfs zstd decompression+build is 5% faster On top of this, there are significant performance improvements coming down the line in the next zstd release, and the new automated update patch generation will allow us to pull them easily. How is the update patch generated? ---------------------------------- The first two patches are preparation for updating the zstd version. Then the 3rd patch in the series imports upstream zstd into the kernel. This patch is automatically generated from upstream. A script makes the necessary changes and imports it into the kernel. The changes are: - Replace all libc dependencies with kernel replacements and rewrite includes. - Remove unncessary portability macros like: #if defined(_MSC_VER). - Use the kernel xxhash instead of bundling it. This automation gets tested every commit by upstream's continuous integration. When we cut a new zstd release, we will submit a patch to the kernel to update the zstd version in the kernel. The automated process makes it easy to keep the kernel version of zstd up to date. The current zstd in the kernel shares the guts of the code, but has a lot of API and minor changes to work in the kernel. This is because at the time upstream zstd was not ready to be used in the kernel envrionment as-is. But, since then upstream zstd has evolved to support being used in the kernel as-is. Why are we updating in one big patch? ------------------------------------- The 3rd patch in the series is very large. This is because it is restructuring the code, so it both deletes the existing zstd, and re-adds the new structure. Future updates will be directly proportional to the changes in upstream zstd since the last import. They will admittidly be large, as zstd is an actively developed project, and has hundreds of commits between every release. However, there is no other great alternative. One option ruled out is to replay every upstream zstd commit. This is not feasible for several reasons: - There are over 3500 upstream commits since the zstd version in the kernel. - The automation to automatically generate the kernel update was only added recently, so older commits cannot easily be imported. - Not every upstream zstd commit builds. - Only zstd releases are "supported", and individual commits may have bugs that were fixed before a release. Another option to reduce the patch size would be to first reorganize to the new file structure, and then apply the patch. However, the current kernel zstd is formatted with clang-format to be more "kernel-like". But, the new method imports zstd as-is, without additional formatting, to allow for closer correlation with upstream, and easier debugging. So the patch wouldn't be any smaller. It also doesn't make sense to import upstream zstd commit by commit going forward. Upstream zstd doesn't support production use cases running of the development branch. We have a lot of post-commit fuzzing that catches many bugs, so indiviudal commits may be buggy, but fixed before a release. So going forward, I intend to import every (important) zstd release into the Kernel. So, while it isn't ideal, updating in one big patch is the only patch I see forward. Who is responsible for this code? --------------------------------- I am. This patchset adds me as the maintainer for zstd. Previously, there was no tree for zstd patches. Because of that, there were several patches that either got ignored, or took a long time to merge, since it wasn't clear which tree should pick them up. I'm officially stepping up as maintainer, and setting up my tree as the path through which zstd patches get merged. I'll make sure that patches to the kernel zstd get ported upstream, so they aren't erased when the next version update happens. How is this code tested? ------------------------ I tested every caller of zstd on x86_64 (BtrFS, ZRAM, SquashFS, F2FS, Kernel, InitRAMFS). I also tested Kernel & InitRAMFS on i386 and aarch64. I checked both performance and correctness. Also, thanks to many people in the community who have tested these patches locally. Lastly, this code will bake in linux-next before being merged into v5.16. Why update to zstd-1.4.10 when zstd-1.5.0 has been released? ------------------------------------------------------------ This patchset has been outstanding since 2020, and zstd-1.4.10 was the latest release when it was created. Since the update patch is automatically generated from upstream, I could generate it from zstd-1.5.0. However, there were some large stack usage regressions in zstd-1.5.0, and are only fixed in the latest development branch. And the latest development branch contains some new code that needs to bake in the fuzzer before I would feel comfortable releasing to the kernel. Once this patchset has been merged, and we've released zstd-1.5.1, we can update the kernel to zstd-1.5.1, and exercise the update process. You may notice that zstd-1.4.10 doesn't exist upstream. This release is an artifical release based off of zstd-1.4.9, with some fixes for the kernel backported from the development branch. I will tag the zstd-1.4.10 release after this patchset is merged, so the Linux Kernel is running a known version of zstd that can be debugged upstream. Why was a wrapper API added? ---------------------------- The first versions of this patchset migrated the kernel to the upstream zstd API. It first added a shim API that supported the new upstream API with the old code, then updated callers to use the new shim API, then transitioned to the new code and deleted the shim API. However, Cristoph Hellwig suggested that we transition to a kernel style API, and hide zstd's upstream API behind that. This is because zstd's upstream API is supports many other use cases, and does not follow the kernel style guide, while the kernel API is focused on the kernel's use cases, and follows the kernel style guide. Where is the previous discussion? --------------------------------- Links for the discussions of the previous versions of the patch set below. The largest changes in the design of the patchset are driven by the discussions in v11, v5, and v1.
