Patch series "signal: refactor some functions", v3. This series refactors a bunch of functions in signal.c to simplify parts of the code. The greatest single change is declaring the static do_sigpending() helper as void which makes it possible to remove a bunch of unnecessary checks in the syscalls later on. This patch (of 17): force_sigsegv() returned 0 unconditionally so it doesn't make sense to have it return at all. In addition, there are no callers that check force_sigsegv()'s return value.

2018-08-09signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+15
Wen Yang <wen.yang99@zte.com.cn> and majiang <ma.jiang@zte.com.cn> report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to continually restart preventing an application from making progress. The code was being overly pessimistic. Fork needs to guarantee that a signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child. For signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically delivered after the fork(). While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by another thread. Similarly the current code will also miss blocked signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will not appear pending during fork. Add a list of each thread that is currently forking, and keep on that list a signal set that records all of the signals sent to multiple processes. When fork completes initialize the new processes shared_pending signal set with it. The calculate_sigpending function will see those signals and set TIF_SIGPENDING causing the new task to take the slow path to userspace to handle those signals. Making it appear as if those signals were received immediately after the fork. It is not possible to send real time signals to multiple processes and exceptions don't go to multiple processes, which means that that are no signals sent to multiple processes that require siginfo. This means it is safe to not bother collecting siginfo on signals sent during fork. The sigaction of a child of fork is initially the same as the sigaction of the parent process. So a signal the parent ignores the child will also initially ignore. Therefore it is safe to ignore signals sent to multiple processes and ignored by the forking process. Signals sent to only a single process or only a single thread and delivered during fork are treated as if they are received after the fork, and generally not dealt with. They won't cause any problems. V2: Added removal from the multiprocess list on failure. V3: Use -ERESTARTNOINTR directly V4: - Don't queue both SIGCONT and SIGSTOP - Initialize signal_struct.multiprocess in init_task - Move setting of shared_pending to before the new task is visible to signals. This prevents signals from comming in before shared_pending.signal is set to delayed.signal and being lost. V5: - rework list add and delete to account for idle threads v6: - Use sigdelsetmask when removing stop signals Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447 Reported-by: Wen Yang <wen.yang99@zte.com.cn> and Reported-by: majiang <ma.jiang@zte.com.cn> Fixes: 4a2c7a7837da ("[PATCH] make fork() atomic wrt pgrp/session signals") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2018-08-03fork: Have new threads join on-going signal group stopsEric W. Biederman1-0/+14
There are only two signals that are delivered to every member of a signal group: SIGSTOP and SIGKILL. Signal delivery requires every signal appear to be delivered either before or after a clone syscall. SIGKILL terminates the clone so does not need to be considered. Which leaves only SIGSTOP that needs to be considered when creating new threads. Today in the event of a group stop TIF_SIGPENDING will get set and the fork will restart ensuring the fork syscall participates in the group stop. A fork (especially of a process with a lot of memory) is one of the most expensive system so we really only want to restart a fork when necessary. It is easy so check to see if a SIGSTOP is ongoing and have the new thread join it immediate after the clone completes. Making it appear the clone completed happened just before the SIGSTOP. The calculate_sigpending function will see the bits set in jobctl and set TIF_SIGPENDING to ensure the new task takes the slow path to userspace. V2: The call to task_join_group_stop was moved before the new task is added to the thread group list. This should not matter as sighand->siglock is held over both the addition of the threads, the call to task_join_group_stop and do_signal_stop. But the change is trivial and it is one less thing to worry about when reading the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2018-08-03signal: Add calculate_sigpending()Eric W. Biederman1-0/+11
Add a function calculate_sigpending to test to see if any signals are pending for a new task immediately following fork. Signals have to happen either before or after fork. Today our practice is to push all of the signals to before the fork, but that has the downside that frequent or periodic signals can make fork take much much longer than normal or prevent fork from completing entirely. So we need move signals that we can after the fork to prevent that. This updates the code to set TIF_SIGPENDING on a new task if there are signals or other activities that have moved so that they appear to happen after the fork. As the code today restarts if it sees any such activity this won't immediately have an effect, as there will be no reason for it to set TIF_SIGPENDING immediately after the fork. Adding calculate_sigpending means the code in fork can safely be changed to not always restart if a signal is pending. The new calculate_sigpending function sets sigpending if there are pending bits in jobctl, pending signals, the freezer needs to freeze the new task or the live kernel patching framework need the new thread to take the slow path to userspace. I have verified that setting TIF_SIGPENDING does make a new process take the slow path to userspace before it executes it's first userspace instruction. I have looked at the callers of signal_wake_up and the code paths setting TIF_SIGPENDING and I don't see anything else that needs to be handled. The code probably doesn't need to set TIF_SIGPENDING for the kernel live patching as it uses a separate thread flag as well. But at this point it seems safer reuse the recalc_sigpending logic and get the kernel live patching folks to sort out their story later. V2: I have moved the test into schedule_tail where siglock can be grabbed and recalc_sigpending can be reused directly. Further as the last action of setting up a new task this guarantees that TIF_SIGPENDING will be properly set in the new process. The helper calculate_sigpending takes the siglock and uncontitionally sets TIF_SIGPENDING and let's recalc_sigpending clear TIF_SIGPENDING if it is unnecessary. This allows reusing the existing code and keeps maintenance of the conditions simple. Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> suggested the movement and pointed out the need to take siglock if this code was going to be called while the new task is discoverable. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2018-07-21signal: Pass pid and pid type into send_sigqueueEric W. Biederman1-5/+9
Make the code more maintainable by performing more of the signal related work in send_sigqueue. A quick inspection of do_timer_create will show that this code path does not lookup a thread group by a thread's pid. Making it safe to find the task pointed to by it_pid with "pid_task(it_pid, type)"; This supports the changes needed in fork to tell if a signal was sent to a single process or a group of processes.

Commit a841796f11c9 ("signal: align __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCU") introduced a rcu read side critical section with interrupts disabled. The changelog suggested that a better long-term fix would be "to make rt_mutex_unlock() disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock". This long-term fix has been made in commit b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe") for a different reason. Therefore revert commit a841796f11c9 ("signal: align > __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCU") as the interrupt disable dance is not longer required. The change was tested on the base of b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe") with a four hour run of rcutorture scenario TREE03 with lockdep enabled as suggested by Paul McKenney.

2018-05-04sched/core: Introduce set_special_state()Peter Zijlstra1-2/+15
Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do condition based sleeps. When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous (concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special' sleep state, we can loose the sleep state. Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem. There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without condition based wait-loop.

Update the siginfo_layout function and enum siginfo_layout to represent all of the possible field layouts of struct siginfo. This allows the uses of siginfo_layout in um and arm64 where they are testing for SIL_FAULT to be more accurate as this rules out the other cases. Further this allows the switch statements on siginfo_layout to be simpler if perhaps a little more wordy. Making it easier to understand what is actually going on. As SIL_FAULT_BNDERR and SIL_FAULT_PKUERR are never expected to appear in signalfd just treat them as SIL_FAULT.

2018-04-25signal: Stop special casing TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME in siginfo_layoutEric W. Biederman1-9/+0
After more experience with the cases where no one the si_code of 0 is used both as a signal specific si_code, and as SI_USER it appears that no one cares about the signal specific si_code case and the good solution is to just fix the architectures by using a different si_code. In none of the conversations has anyone even suggested that anything depends on the signal specific redefinition of SI_USER. There are at least test cases that care when si_code as 0 does not work as si_user. So make things simple and keep the generic code from introducing problems by removing the special casing of TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME. This will ensure the generic case of sending a signal with kill will always set SI_USER and work. The architecture specific, and signal specific overloads that set si_code to 0 will now have problems with signalfd and the 32bit compat versions of siginfo copying. At least until they are fixed.

2018-04-25signal: Reduce copy_siginfo_to_user to just copy_to_userEric W. Biederman1-82/+2
Now that every instance of struct siginfo is now initialized it is no longer necessary to copy struct siginfo piece by piece to userspace but instead the entire structure can be copied. As well as making the code simpler and more efficient this means that copy_sinfo_to_user no longer cares which union member of struct siginfo is in use. In practice this means that all 32bit architectures that define FPE_FIXME will handle properly send SI_USER when kill(SIGFPE) is sent. While still performing their historic architectural brokenness when 0 is used a floating pointer signal. This matches the current behavior of 64bit architectures that define FPE_FIXME who get lucky and an overloaded SI_USER has continuted to work through copy_siginfo_to_user because the 8 byte si_addr occupies the same bytes in struct siginfo as the 4 byte si_pid and the 4 byte si_uid. Problematic architectures still need to fix their ABI so that signalfd and 32bit compat code will work properly. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2018-03-09arm64: signal: Ensure si_code is valid for all fault signalsDave Martin1-4/+0
Currently, as reported by Eric, an invalid si_code value 0 is passed in many signals delivered to userspace in response to faults and other kernel errors. Typically 0 is passed when the fault is insufficiently diagnosable or when there does not appear to be any sensible alternative value to choose. This appears to violate POSIX, and is intuitively wrong for at least two reasons arising from the fact that 0 == SI_USER: 1) si_code is a union selector, and SI_USER (and si_code <= 0 in general) implies the existence of a different set of fields (siginfo._kill) from that which exists for a fault signal (siginfo._sigfault). However, the code raising the signal typically writes only the _sigfault fields, and the _kill fields make no sense in this case. Thus when userspace sees si_code == 0 (SI_USER) it may legitimately inspect fields in the inactive union member _kill and obtain garbage as a result. There appears to be software in the wild relying on this, albeit generally only for printing diagnostic messages. 2) Software that wants to be robust against spurious signals may discard signals where si_code == SI_USER (or <= 0), or may filter such signals based on the si_uid and si_pid fields of siginfo._sigkill. In the case of fault signals, this means that important (and usually fatal) error conditions may be silently ignored. In practice, many of the faults for which arm64 passes si_code == 0 are undiagnosable conditions such as exceptions with syndrome values in ESR_ELx to which the architecture does not yet assign any meaning, or conditions indicative of a bug or error in the kernel or system and thus that are unrecoverable and should never occur in normal operation. The approach taken in this patch is to translate all such undiagnosable or "impossible" synchronous fault conditions to SIGKILL, since these are at least probably localisable to a single process. Some of these conditions should really result in a kernel panic, but due to the lack of diagnostic information it is difficult to be certain: this patch does not add any calls to panic(), but this could change later if justified. Although si_code will not reach userspace in the case of SIGKILL, it is still desirable to pass a nonzero value so that the common siginfo handling code can detect incorrect use of si_code == 0 without false positives. In this case the si_code dependent siginfo fields will not be correctly initialised, but since they are not passed to userspace I deem this not to matter. A few faults can reasonably occur in realistic userspace scenarios, and _should_ raise a regular, handleable (but perhaps not ignorable/blockable) signal: for these, this patch attempts to choose a suitable standard si_code value for the raised signal in each case instead of 0. arm64 was the only arch to define a BUS_FIXME code, so after this patch nobody defines it. This patch therefore also removes the relevant code from siginfo_layout(). Cc: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Reported-by: Eric W.

commit d178bc3a708f39cbfefc3fab37032d3f2511b4ec ("user namespace: usb: make usb urbs user namespace aware (v2)") changed kill_pid_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_cred, saving and passing a cred structure instead of uids. Since the secid can be obtained from the cred, drop the secid fields from the usb_dev_state and async structures, and drop the secid argument to kill_pid_info_as_cred. Replace the secid argument to security_task_kill with the cred. Update SELinux, Smack, and AppArmor to use the cred, which avoids the need for Smack and AppArmor to use a secid at all in this hook. Further changes to Smack might still be required to take full advantage of this change, since it should now be possible to perform capability checking based on the supplied cred. The changes to Smack and AppArmor have only been compile-tested.

There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at least one of them is bound to get it wrong. A handful of cases in the kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to pass no errno values to userspace.

Especially for these specialized cases where the temptation is to share code with other cases which use a different subset of siginfo fields.

Provide these helpers instead that get all of the details right, and guarantee that siginfo is properly initialized. send_sig_mceerr and force_sig_mceer are a little special as two si codes BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEER_AR both use the same extended signinfo layout.

2018-01-15signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32Eric W. Biederman1-0/+90
Among the existing architecture specific versions of copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation problems. Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in the siginfo union. Some architectures perform a blind copy of the siginfo union when the si_code is negative. A blind copy suggests the data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace. Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format. A special case is made for x86 x32 format. This is needed as presence of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal formats. By allowing this small special case there winds up being exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the architectures. Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of finding bugs. As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86 signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so that they will keep running. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
