Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3. The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not. Signed-off-by:

When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to -fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds. Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent, which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same feature made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For that reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and 'local-bounds' [2]. Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable it with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y. Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the 'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.

in_ubsan field of task_struct is only used in lib/ubsan.c, which in its turn is used only `ifneq ($(CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP),y)`. Removing unnecessary field from a task_struct will help preserve the ABI between vanilla and CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP'ed kernels. In particular, this will help enabling bounds sanitizer transparently for Android's GKI. Signed-off-by:

rio_dma_transfer() attempts to clamp the return value of pin_user_pages_fast() to be >= 0. However, the attempt fails because nr_pages is overridden a few lines later, and restored to the undesirable -ERRNO value. The return value is ultimately stored in nr_pages, which in turn is passed to unpin_user_pages(), which expects nr_pages >= 0, else, disaster. Fix this by fixing the nesting of the assignment to nr_pages: nr_pages should be clamped to zero if pin_user_pages_fast() returns -ERRNO, or set to the return value of pin_user_pages_fast(), otherwise.

ramfs needs to check that pages are both physically contiguous and contiguous in the file. If the page cache happens to have, eg, page A for index 0 of the file, no page for index 1, and page A+1 for index 2, then an mmap of the first two pages of the file will succeed when it should fail.

Properly take the mmap_lock before calling into the GUP code from get_dump_page(); and play nice, allowing the GUP code to drop the mmap_lock if it has to sleep. As Linus pointed out, we don't actually need the VMA because __get_user_pages() will flush the dcache for us if necessary. Signed-off-by:

In both binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic, use a new helper dump_vma_snapshot() to take a snapshot of the VMA list (including the gate VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_lock, and then use that snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking. An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_lock held across the entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_lock locked while we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g. because we're dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_lock blocks things like the ->release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because someone "gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or something like that. Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in the future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common helper in fs/coredump.c. A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n) kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't be terribly bad. There currently is a data race between stack expansion and anything that reads ->vm_start or ->vm_end under the mmap_lock held in read mode; to mitigate that for core dumping, take the mmap_lock in write mode when taking a snapshot of the VMA hierarchy. (If we only took the mmap_lock in read mode, we could end up with a corrupted core dump if someone does get_user_pages_remote() concurrently. Not really a major problem, but taking the mmap_lock either way works here, so we might as well avoid the issue.) (This doesn't do anything about the existing data races with stack expansion in other mm code.) Signed-off-by:

At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so, whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page. Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a generic core dumping helper in coredump.c. As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking at the file mode. This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid get_user() under the mmap_sem. (And arguably it looks nicer and makes more sense in generic code.) Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: ->anon_vma is only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA has been written to. Suggested-by:

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5. At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs. With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across unbounded sleeps".) Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core dumping code. Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their contents show up in the core dump properly. The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs. At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this issue (mmget_still_valid()). I have tested: - Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works. - The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible. - X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0. - NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.) This patch (of 7): dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory. Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS, even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block. One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use __get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will just call __get_user_pages() for us. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3. The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries.

A more appropriate warning would have been to point out at the name mismatch instead.

Checkpatch.pl doesn't have a check for excluding while (...) {...} blocks from MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE error. For example, running checkpatch.pl on the file mm/maccess.c in the kernel generates the following error: ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses +#define copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop(dst, src, len, type, err_label) \ + while (len >= sizeof(type)) { \ + __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label); \ + dst += sizeof(type); \ + src += sizeof(type); \ + len -= sizeof(type); \ + } The error is misleading for this case. Enclosing it in parentheses doesn't make any sense. Checkpatch already has an exception list for such common macro types. Added a new exception for while (...) {...} style blocks to the same. In addition, the brace flatten logic was modified by changing the substitution characters from "1" to "1u". This was done to ensure that macros in the form "#define foo(bar) while(bar){bar--;}" were also correctly procecssed.

Embedding the complete filename path inside the file isn't particularly useful as often the path is moved around and becomes incorrect. Emit a warning when the source contains the filename. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove stray " di"] Signed-off-by:

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split into multiple lines. The author identity could not be resolved and checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning. A typical example is commit e33bcbab ("tee: add support for session's client UUID generation"). When checkpatch was run on this commit, it displayed: "WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author ''" This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the author himself wrote in commit cd261496 ("checkpatch: warn if missing author Signed-off-by"): "Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part is compared." Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension lines. RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start with a WSP character (a space or htab). The solution was therefore to concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long header. Suggested-by:

If a file exists in git and checkpatch is used without the -f flag for scanning a file, then checkpatch will scan the file assuming it's a patch and emit: ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch Change the behavior to assume the -f flag if the file exists in git.

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d ("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs". Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old uninitialized_var macro behavior.

trace_printk is meant as a debugging tool, and should not be compiled into production code without specific debug Kconfig options enabled, or source code changes, as indicated by the warning that shows up on boot if any trace_printk is called: ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ** ** ** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. ** ** ** ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is ** ** unsafe for production use. ** Let's warn developers when they try to submit such a change. Signed-off-by:

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single function or value on a single line are detected by this test. e.g.: foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */ bar = baz(); Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses. No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false negatives are possible. e.g.: foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */ bar = baz(); Signed-off-by:

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_ environment variable. Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all. Such projects may still want to adhere to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl. One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have configuration options prefixed with CFG_. It also mostly follows the kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite valuable. To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.
