Root in a non-initial user ns cannot be trusted to write a traditional
security.capability xattr.  If it were allowed to do so, then any
unprivileged user on the host could map his own uid to root in a private
namespace, write the xattr, and execute the file with privilege on the
host.

However supporting file capabilities in a user namespace is very
desirable.  Not doing so means that any programs designed to run with
limited privilege must continue to support other methods of gaining and
dropping privilege.  For instance a program installer must detect
whether file capabilities can be assigned, and assign them if so but set
setuid-root otherwise.  The program in turn must know how to drop
partial capabilities, and do so only if setuid-root.

This patch introduces v3 of the security.capability xattr.  It builds a
vfs_ns_cap_data struct by appending a uid_t rootid to struct
vfs_cap_data.  This is the absolute uid_t (that is, the uid_t in user
namespace which mounted the filesystem, usually init_user_ns) of the
root id in whose namespaces the file capabilities may take effect.

When a task asks to write a v2 security.capability xattr, if it is
privileged with respect to the userns which mounted the filesystem, then
nothing should change.  Otherwise, the kernel will transparently rewrite
the xattr as a v3 with the appropriate rootid.  This is done during the
execution of setxattr() to catch user-space-initiated capability writes.
Subsequently, any task executing the file which has the noted kuid as
its root uid, or which is in a descendent user_ns of such a user_ns,
will run the file with capabilities.

Similarly when asking to read file capabilities, a v3 capability will
be presented as v2 if it applies to the caller's namespace.

If a task writes a v3 security.capability, then it can provide a uid for
the xattr so long as the uid is valid in its own user namespace, and it
is privileged with CAP_SETFCAP over its namespace.  The kernel will
translate that rootid to an absolute uid, and write that to disk.  After
this, a task in the writer's namespace will not be able to use those
capabilities (unless rootid was 0), but a task in a namespace where the
given uid is root will.

Only a single security.capability xattr may exist at a time for a given
file.  A task may overwrite an existing xattr so long as it is
privileged over the inode.  Note this is a departure from previous
semantics, which required privilege to remove a security.capability
xattr.  This check can be re-added if deemed useful.

This allows a simple setxattr to work, allows tar/untar to work, and
allows us to tar in one namespace and untar in another while preserving
the capability, without risking leaking privilege into a parent
namespace.

Example using tar:

 $ cp /bin/sleep sleepx
 $ mkdir b1 b2
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b1
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b2
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -cf b1/sleepx.tar sleepx
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -C b2 -xf b1/sleepx.tar
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- getcap b2/sleepx
   b2/sleepx = cap_sys_admin+ep
 # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/getv3xattr b2/sleepx

Today sending a signal with rt_sigqueueinfo and receving it on
a signalfd does not work reliably.  The issue is that reading
a signalfd instead of returning a siginfo returns a signalfd_siginfo and
the kernel must convert from one to the other.

The kernel does not currently have the code to deduce which union
members of struct siginfo are in use.

In this patchset I fix that by introducing a new function siginfo_layout
that can look at a siginfo and report which union member of struct
siginfo is in use.  Before that I clean up how we populate struct
siginfo.

The siginfo structure has two key members si_signo and si_code.  Some
si_codes are signal specific and for those it takes si_signo and si_code
to indicate the members of siginfo that are valid.  The rest of the
si_code values are signal independent like SI_USER, SI_KERNEL, SI_QUEUE,
and SI_TIMER and only si_code is needed to indicate which members of
siginfo are valid.

At least that is how POSIX documents them, and how common sense would
indicate they should function.  In practice we have been rather sloppy
about maintaining the ABI in linux and we have some exceptions.  We have
a couple of buggy architectures that make SI_USER mean something
different when combined with SIGFPE or SIGTRAP.  Worse we have
fcntl(F_SETSIG) which results in the si_codes POLL_IN, POLL_OUT,
POLL_MSG, POLL_ERR, POLL_PRI, POLL_HUP being sent with any arbitrary
signal, while the values are in a range that overlaps the signal
specific si_codes.

Thankfully the ambiguous cases with the POLL_NNN si_codes are for
things no sane persion would do that so we can rectify the situtation.
AKA no one cares so we won't cause a regression fixing it.

As part of fixing this I stop leaking the __SI_xxxx codes to userspace
and stop storing them in the high 16bits of si_code.  Making the kernel
code fundamentally simpler.  We have already confirmed that the one
application that would see this difference in kernel behavior CRIU won't
be affected by this change as it copies values verbatim from one kernel
interface to another.

v3:
   - Corrected the patches so they bisect properly
v2:
   - Benchmarked the code to confirm no performance changes are visible.
   - Reworked the first couple of patches so that TRAP_FIXME and
     FPE_FIXME are not exported to userspace.
   - Rebased on top of the siginfo cleanup that came in v4.13-rc1
   - Updated alpha to use both TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME

Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union
tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values:
__SI_KILL
__SI_TIMER
__SI_POLL
__SI_FAULT
__SI_CHLD
__SI_RT
__SI_MESGQ
__SI_SYS

While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has
not worked well.

- Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo

- It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the
  the kernel to misbehave.

- Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values
  in userspace in kernel self tests.

- Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which
  is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user
  sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated.

- The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform
  siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user.  As si_code must
  be massaged before being passed to userspace.

So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler
and more maintainable.

To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper
function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and
computes which union member of siginfo is being used.  Have
siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough
information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union
members.

A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal
specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in
siginfo_layout than I would like.  The good news is only problem
architectures pay the cost.

Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to
use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those
values.  Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the
defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in
the future the lack will show up at compile time.

Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy
the value and not cast si_code to a short first.  The high bits are no
longer used to hold a magic union member.

Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in
their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly
update the number of si_codes for each signal type.

The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the
interesting property that several of them perviously should never have
worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal.
With that dependency gone those implementations should work much
better.

The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then
not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without
changes.

We have a weird and problematic intersection of features that when
they all come together result in ambiguous siginfo values, that
we can not support properly.

- Supporting fcntl(F_SETSIG,...) with arbitrary valid signals.

- Using positive values for POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, POLL_MSG, ..., etc
  that imply they are signal specific si_codes and using the
  aforementioned arbitrary signal to deliver them.

- Supporting injection of arbitrary siginfo values for debugging and
  checkpoint/restore.

The result is that just looking at siginfo si_codes of 1 to 6 are
ambigious.  It could either be a signal specific si_code or it could
be a generic si_code.

For most of the kernel this is a non-issue but for sending signals
with siginfo it is impossible to play back the kernel signals and
get the same result.

Strictly speaking when the si_code was changed from SI_SIGIO to
POLL_IN and friends between 2.2 and 2.4 this functionality was not
ambiguous, as only real time signals were supported.  Before 2.4 was
released the kernel began supporting siginfo with non realtime signals
so they could give details of why the signal was sent.

The result is that if F_SETSIG is set to one of the signals with signal
specific si_codes then user space can not know why the signal was sent.

I grepped through a bunch of userspace programs using debian code
search to get a feel for how often people choose a signal that results
in an ambiguous si_code.  I only found one program doing so and it was
using SIGCHLD to test the F_SETSIG functionality, and did not appear
to be a real world usage.

Therefore the ambiguity does not appears to be a real world problem in
practice.  Remove the ambiguity while introducing the smallest chance
of breakage by changing the si_code to SI_SIGIO when signals with
signal specific si_codes are targeted.

During checkpointing and restore of userspace tasks
we bumped into the situation, that it's not possible
to restore the tasks, which user namespace does not
have uid 0 or gid 0 mapped.

People create user namespace mappings like they want,
and there is no a limitation on obligatory uid and gid
"must be mapped". So, if there is no uid 0 or gid 0
in the mapping, it's impossible to restore mm->exe_file
of the processes belonging to this user namespace.

Also, there is no a workaround. It's impossible
to create a temporary uid/gid mapping, because
only one write to /proc/[pid]/uid_map and gid_map
is allowed during a namespace lifetime.
If there is an entry, then no more mapings can't be
written. If there isn't an entry, we can't write
there too, otherwise user task won't be able
to do that in the future.

The patch changes the check, and looks for CAP_SYS_ADMIN
instead of zero uid and gid. This allows to restore
a task independently of its user namespace mappings.

It is pointless and confusing to allow a pid namespace hierarchy and
the user namespace hierarchy to get out of sync.  The owner of a child
pid namespace should be the owner of the parent pid namespace or
a descendant of the owner of the parent pid namespace.

Otherwise it is possible to construct scenarios where a process has a
capability over a parent pid namespace but does not have the
capability over a child pid namespace.  Which confusingly makes
permission checks non-transitive.

It requires use of setns into a pid namespace (but not into a user
namespace) to create such a scenario.

Add the function in_userns to help in making this determination.

Setting si_code to __SI_FAULT results in a userspace seeing
an si_code of 0.  This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix
and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific
si_code.  As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty
horribly broken ABI.

This use of of __SI_FAULT is only a decade old.  Which compared
to the other pieces of kernel code that has made this mistake
is almost yesterday.

This is probably worth fixing but I don't know mips well enough

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully
seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg
getting spammed for a surprisingly long time.  This is really bad from
a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to
do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is
booted.  However, users can't do anything actionble to address this,
and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people.

For developers who want to work on improving this situation,
CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.  By default the kernel will always
print the first use of unseeded randomness.  This way, hopefully the
security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when
the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture
or subarchitecture.  To see all uses of unseeded randomness,
developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.

Using strscpy was wrong because FORTIFY_SOURCE is passing the maximum
possible size of the outermost object, but strscpy defines the count
parameter as the exact buffer size, so this could copy past the end of
the source.  This would still be wrong with the planned usage of
__builtin_object_size(p, 1) for intra-object overflow checks since it's
the maximum possible size of the specified object with no guarantee of
it being that large.

Reuse of the fortified functions like this currently makes the runtime
error reporting less precise but that can be improved later on.

If we reach the limit of modprobe_limit threads running the next
request_module() call will fail.  The original reason for adding a kill
was to do away with possible issues with in old circumstances which would
create a recursive series of request_module() calls.

We can do better than just be super aggressive and reject calls once we've
reached the limit by simply making pending callers wait until the
threshold has been reduced, and then throttling them in, one by one.

This throttling enables requests over the kmod concurrent limit to be
processed once a pending request completes.  Only the first item queued up
to wait is woken up.  The assumption here is once a task is woken it will
have no other option to also kick the queue to check if there are more
pending tasks -- regardless of whether or not it was successful.

By throttling and processing only max kmod concurrent tasks we ensure we
avoid unexpected fatal request_module() calls, and we keep memory
consumption on module loading to a minimum.

With x86_64 qemu, with 4 cores, 4 GiB of RAM it takes the following run
time to run both tests:

This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader.
The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right
now.  It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests
early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a
lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled
for now.

Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM
fast with this test driver.

The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple
request_module() and get_fs_type() calls.  Since these API calls only
allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple.
Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of
calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each.  This exposes
configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build
tests directly from userspace.

Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a
knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform
more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory.

We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

enabled by default:

 # tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0008
 # tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0009

To be sure to run them as intended please unload both of the modules:

  o test_module
  o xfs

And ensure they are not loaded on your system prior to testing them.  If
you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test
driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment.  For
example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh
allow_user_defaults().

Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to
hitting a trigger to run it:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case
echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs
echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads

Finally to trigger:

echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config

The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases.

A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two
premises:

a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized
   version of module order for us.  Once it finds the modules it needs, as
   per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective
   modules which are needed for the original request_module() request.

b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses
   request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace
   as the module already is loaded.  This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c.

A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues:

0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be
   built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module()
   failed.  Upgrade to a newer version of kmod.

1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs",
   not for "xfs".  The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to
   catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls.  The reason
   is the optimization in place does not look for aliases.  This means two
   consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas
   request_module() will not.

This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for
get_fs_type().

2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent
   limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of
   memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the
   same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also*
   fail to load even if the file for the module is ready.

This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009.

3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory.

4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other
   modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type()
   call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace
   loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will*
   take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies.

Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with
certain tests.  For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM.
It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not
having enough memory to reap.

As suggested by Jessica, I've been actively working on kmod, so might as
well reflect its maintained status.

Changes are expected to go through akpm's tree.

The arch uses a verbatim copy of the asm-generic version and does not
add any own implementations to the header, so use asm-generic/fb.h
instead of duplicating code.
