sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).
This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.

semctl_down(), msgctl_down() and shmctl_down() are used to handle the same set
of commands for each kind of IPC. They all start to do the same job (they
retrieve the ipc and do some permission checks) before handling the commands
on their own.
This patch proposes to consolidate this by moving these same pieces of code
into one common function called ipcctl_pre_down().
It simplifies a little these xxxctl_down() functions and increases a little

After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.
A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.
This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time.
See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.
Summary:
Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.
Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.
I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the
get_policy() vm_op returns NULL. The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that
was holding the fallback task mempolicy. So, it was falling back directly to
system default policy.
Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma
get_policy op.
shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing
file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and
the vma policy is null. This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is
likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current. Remove this

Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an
ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they
do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by
calling a specific routine.
This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function,
free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each
individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific
'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as
parameter.

Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for
msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids'
are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace
itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to
static variables instead)
It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the
ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the
maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed
size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there
is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct
ipc_namespace.
This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace.
Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to
allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.
The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.
Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.
And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...
Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then. But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.
Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct. But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...

without the idr tree being locked.
The changes are:
. in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore.
. ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find().
. a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the
mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine
that is now called in all the update paths.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.
This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.
It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.
This patch:
Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.
This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.
Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is
already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the
subsequent code leaks the existing user struct:
== ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() ==
...
err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user);
if (!err) {
shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED;
shp->mlock_user = user;
}
...
==
Other results of this are:
1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed
memory when the task dies.
2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs.
The exploit looks like this:
==
id = shmget(...);
setresuid(uid, 0, 0);
shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0);
shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
==
My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the
segment's user.

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared

2) vma->vm_policy (if defined)
3) task->mempolicy (if defined)
4) Fall back to default_policy
By switching to stacked files for shared memory, get_policy() is now always
set to shm_get_policy which is a wrapper function. This causes us to stop
at step 1, which yields NULL for hugetlb instead of task->mempolicy which
was the previous (and correct) result.
This patch modifies the shm_get_policy() wrapper to maintain steps 1-3 for
the wrapped vm_ops.
(akpm: the refcounting of mempolicies is busted and this patch does nothing to
improve it)

This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked
shm files changes:
- Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments.
- get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle
the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case.
- The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs
f_ops.
This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and
tested by me. Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments
on powerpc (and likely ia64) will kill your box.

The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because it
does not quite use files like the rest of the kernel. With the option of
backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary shared memory
the problems got worse. With the added support for ipc namespaces things
behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad namespace reference
counting bugs when using what appears at first glance to be a reasonable
idiom.
So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more maintainable
this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts of the kernel and
builds it's own files out of them. The shm files are allocated in do_shmat
and freed when their reference count drops to zero with their last unmap.
The file and vm operations that we don't want to implement or we don't
implement completely we just delegate to the operations of our backing
file.
This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a
hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last attach
and last detach time work as well.
This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we create the
file and dropping the referenece in the release method is now safe and
correct.
This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE
as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have
requested write access when calling shmat. Although VM_SHARED is now
cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a
minor bug fix.
By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and regular
shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly more correct
as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100% accurate in spotting
all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc shared memory.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing.
1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated
with ipc_init_ids().
2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref()
may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in
ipc_init_ids().
This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with
them this situation becomes possible.
Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.

The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
records as described in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.
To summarize, I made the following changes:
1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the
code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
without an IPC record and that seemed odd.
2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
compatibility question.
3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being
set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC
record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only
applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
doesn't seem worth it.
4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that
the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.
5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and
igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.
I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it
applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
- audit_ipc_obj()
- audit_ipc_set_perm()
There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.
The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).
2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

SUSv3 says the shmdt() function shall fail with EINVAL if the value of
shmaddr is not the data segment start address of a shared memory segment:
our sys_shmdt needs to reject a shmaddr which is not page-aligned.
Does it have the potential to break existing apps?
Hugh says
"sys_shmdt() just does the wrong (unexpected) thing with a misaligned
address: it'll fail on what you might expect it to succeed on, and only
succeed on what it should definitely fail on.
"That is, I think it behaves as if shmaddr gets rounded up, when the only
understandable behaviour would be if it rounded it down.
"Which does mean you'd have to be devious to see anything but EINVAL from
a misaligned shmaddr there, so it's not terribly important."
