commit 5883f57ca0008ffc93e09cbb9847a1928e50c6f3 upstream.
While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit
f83ce3e6b02d5 ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged
processes")), the start_code and end_code values were not. This would
allow the text location of a PIE binary to leak, defeating ASLR.
Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value since
"ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take
start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave. Thanks to
Brad Spengler for pointing this out.

commit 0db0c01b53a1a421513f91573241aabafb87802a upstream.
The current code fails to print the "[heap]" marking if the heap is split
into multiple mappings.
Fix the check so that the marking is displayed in all possible cases:
1. vma matches exactly the heap
2. the heap vma is merged e.g. with bss
3. the heap vma is splitted e.g. due to locked pages
Test cases. In all cases, the process should have mapping(s) with
[heap] marking:
(1) vma matches exactly the heap

{
if (sbrk(4096) != (void *)-1) {

while (1)
sleep(1);
}
return 0;

It looks like the bug has been there forever, and since it only results in
some information missing from a procfile, it does not fulfil the -stable
"critical issue" criteria.

commit 261cd298a8c363d7985e3482946edb4bfedacf98 upstream.
task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days
of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it
is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only
correct fix is to remove task_show_regs.

commit de09a9771a5346029f4d11e4ac886be7f9bfdd75 upstream.
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.
What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER
-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
rcu_read_lock()
__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
-->commit_creds()
old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
TASK_2->real_cred = ...
put_cred(old_cred)
call_rcu(old_cred)
[__cred->usage == 0]
get_cred(__cred)
[__cred->usage == 1]
rcu_read_unlock()
-->put_cred_rcu()
[__cred->usage == 1]
panic()
However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.
We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.
Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

commit d7824370e26325c881b665350ce64fb0a4fde24a upstream.
This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user
space. It does this by:
- not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps
It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure
out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized
"mlockall()" in user space. By not showing the guard page as part of
the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up
pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it.
- by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock
the guard page.
That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page,
so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place.
It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in
/proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but
let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs
that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file.
Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools
source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.

commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239 upstream.
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522
Now cputime is accounted in the following way:
- {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).
- When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
after adjusted by task_times().
- When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
(and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
in signal struct of the group's parent.
So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.
And accounted values are used by:
- task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
{u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.
- thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.
The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:
group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)
This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).
To fix this, we could do:
group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)
But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.
This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:
- Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
of adjusted values. As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
to return pure sum of "raw" values.
- Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().
- Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
thread_group_times(). It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
have adjusted values like before this patch.
- Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
(i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)
This patch have a positive side effect:
- Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
(e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
{adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
applied after accumulated.
v2:
- remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

commit 34441427aab4bdb3069a4ffcda69a99357abcb2e upstream.
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

commit 1306d603fcf1f6682f8575d1ff23631a24184b21 upstream.
Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced
to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status. But it cause large
performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps
command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to
take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation.
If many process run, the ps performance is,
[before d899bf7b]

23917502 cache-misses # 5.556 M/sec
152.277819582 seconds time elapsed
Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.
Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:
1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
/proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.
I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

commit b95c35e76b29ba812e5dabdd91592e25ec640e93 upstream.
proc_oom_score(task) has a reference to task_struct, but that is all.
If this task was already released before we take tasklist_lock
- we can't use task->group_leader, it points to nowhere
- it is not safe to call badness() even if this task is
->group_leader, has_intersects_mems_allowed() assumes
it is safe to iterate over ->thread_group list.
- even worse, badness() can hit ->signal == NULL
Add the pid_alive() check to ensure __unhash_process() was not called.
Also, use "task" instead of task->group_leader. badness() should return
the same result for any sub-thread. Currently this is not true, but
this should be changed anyway.

Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace'
that is discussed in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159.
To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the
PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap
them. As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc
dentries associated with the processes. But because the container-init is
itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not
flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries.
This fix reverts the commit 7766755a2f249e7e0 ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock
in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING. At the time of
the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems
also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed. But as
pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c47aabdde59,
shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems. So reverting
the commit is now safe.
As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the
unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

After memory hotplug (or other events in future), kcore size can be
modified.
To update inode->i_size, we have to know inode/dentry but we can't get it
from inside /proc directly. But considerinyg memory hotplug, kcore image
is updated only when it's opened. Then, updating inode->i_size at open()
is enough.

Presently the size of /proc/kcore which can be read by 'ls -l' is 0. But
it's not the correct value.
On x86-64, ls -l shows
... root root 140737486266368 2009-09-17 10:29 /proc/kcore
Then, 7FFFFFFE02000. This comes from vmalloc area's size.
(*) This shows "core" size, not memory size.
This patch shows the size by updating "size" field in struct
proc_dir_entry. Later, lookup routine will create inode and fill
inode->i_size based on this value. Then, this has a problem.
- Once inode is cached, inode->i_size will never be updated.
Then, this patch is not memory-hotplug-aware.
To update inode->i_size, we have to know dentry or inode.
But there is no way to lookup them by inside kernel. Hmmm....
Next patch will try it.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap
range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC ....
This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used. By this, vmemmap
can be readable via /proc/kcore
Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used. But the range
is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by
the same scheme with physical memory.
This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range. It's
correct now.

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,
- range of physical memory
- range of vmalloc area
- text, etc...
are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be
entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area.
This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64.
I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch)
but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in
direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary
thing to do.
Note: I left mips as it is now.

Presently, kclist_add() only eats start address and size as its arguments.
Considering to make kclist dynamically reconfigulable, it's necessary to
know which kclists are for System RAM and which are not.
This patch add kclist types as
KCORE_RAM
KCORE_VMALLOC
KCORE_TEXT
KCORE_OTHER
This "type" is used in a patch following this for detecting KCORE_RAM.

This patchset is for /proc/kcore. With this,
- many per-arch hooks are removed.
- /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area.
- /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug.
- /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e.
if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore.
(if the arch uses usual memory layout.)
This patch:
/proc/kcore uses its own list handling codes. It's better to use
generic list codes.
No changes in logic. just clean up.

A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage,
especially for embedded linux.
Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage
which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no
information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads.
There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks
the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack
xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value
information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the
top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage.
A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like:
08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z

ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status
which will you give the current stack usage in kb.
A sample output of /proc/self/status looks like:
Name: cat
State: R (running)
Tgid: 507
Pid: 507
.
.
.
CapBnd: fffffffffffffeff
voluntary_ctxt_switches: 0
nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 0
Stack usage: 12 kB
I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base
address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main
process. This makes more sense.

The exiting sub-thread flushes /proc/pid only, but this doesn't buy too
much: ps and friends mostly use /proc/tid/task/pid.
Remove "if (thread_group_leader())" checks from proc_flush_task() path,
this means we always remove /proc/tid/task/pid dentry on exit, and this
actually matches the comment above proc_flush_task().
The test-case:
static void* tfunc(void *arg)
{
char name[256];
sprintf(name, "/proc/%d/task/%ld/status", getpid(), gettid());
close(open(name, O_RDONLY));
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t t;
for (;;) {
if (!pthread_create(&t, NULL, &tfunc, NULL))
pthread_join(t, NULL);
}
}
slabtop shows that pid/proc_inode_cache/etc grow quickly and
"indefinitely" until the task is killed or shrink_slab() is called, not
good. And the main thread needs a lot of time to exit.
The same can happen if something like "ps -efL" runs continuously, while
some application spawns short-living threads.

thread-B: oom_adj = 0, oom_score = very-high
Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE. Thus __out_of_memory()
call select_bad_process() again. but select_bad_process() select the same
task. It mean kernel fall in livelock.
The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task. otherwise
OOM logic go into livelock.
And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value. it should be
per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread. Thus
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct signal_struct. it naturally prevent
select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

The patch makes the clear_refs more versatile in adding the option to
select anonymous pages or file backed pages for clearing. This addition
has a measurable impact on user space application performance as it
decreases the number of pagewalks in scenarios where one is only
interested in a specific type of page (anonymous or file mapped).
The patch adds anonymous and file backed filters to the clear_refs interface.
echo 1 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on all pages
echo 2 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on anonymous pages only
echo 3 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on file backed pages only
Any other value is ignored

KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and
/proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too.
Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best
preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no
anon_vma.
But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near
PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.

Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.
We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:
shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES
however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.
This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and
cause OOM conditions. However, we do not display the amount of memory
consumed by stacks.

Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.
This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.
The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c
To quote the overview comment:
High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
failure.
This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
when that happens another machine check will happen.
Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
error handling takes potentially a long time.
Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
to be rare we hope we can get away with this.
There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.
The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.
However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.
Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
...
set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
...
if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
execve("foo-bar-cmd");
}
....
vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.
Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.
Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it
can't be changed to the new mm under us.
Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless
security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never
return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.
