When a process has a gfs2 file open, the file is keeping a reference on the
underlying gfs2 inode, and the inode is keeping the inode's iopen glock held in
shared mode. In other words, the process depends on the iopen glock of each
open gfs2 file. Expose those dependencies in a new "glockfd" debugfs file.
The new debugfs file contains one line for each gfs2 file descriptor,
specifying the tgid, file descriptor number, and glock name, e.g.,
1601 6 5/816d
This list is compiled by iterating all tasks on the system using find_ge_pid(),
and all file descriptors of each task using task_lookup_next_fd_rcu(). To make
that work from gfs2, export those two functions.

The number of system calls making use of pidfds is constantly
increasing. Some of those new system calls duplicate the code to turn a
pidfd into task_struct it refers to. Give them a simple helper for this.

By adding the pidfd_create() declaration to linux/pid.h, we
effectively expose this function to the rest of the kernel. In order
to avoid any unintended behavior, or set false expectations upon this
function, ensure that constraints are forced upon each of the passed
parameters. This includes the checking of whether the passed struct
pid is a thread-group leader as pidfd creation is currently limited to
such pid types.

"This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a

- Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()
- Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The

Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
for all namespaces.
- Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's

- Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex. The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:
perf_event_open (exec_update_mutex -> ovl_i_mutex)
chown (ovl_i_mutex -> sb_writes)
sendfile (sb_writes -> p->lock)
by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
proc_pid_syscall (p->lock -> exec_update_mutex)
While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same. They are all readers. The only writer is
exec.
There is no reason for readers to block on each other. So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

Introduce PIDFD_NONBLOCK to support non-blocking pidfd file descriptors.
Ever since the introduction of pidfds and more advanced async io various
programming languages such as Rust have grown support for async event
libraries. These libraries are created to help build epoll-based event loops
around file descriptors. A common pattern is to automatically make all file
descriptors they manage to O_NONBLOCK.
For such libraries the EAGAIN error code is treated specially. When a function
is called that returns EAGAIN the function isn't called again until the event
loop indicates the the file descriptor is ready. Supporting EAGAIN when
waiting on pidfds makes such libraries just work with little effort. In the
following patch we will extend waitid() internally to support non-blocking
pidfds.
This introduces a new flag PIDFD_NONBLOCK that is equivalent to O_NONBLOCK.
This follows the same patterns we have for other (anon inode) file descriptors
such as EFD_NONBLOCK, IN_NONBLOCK, SFD_NONBLOCK, TFD_NONBLOCK and the same for
close-on-exec flags.

Switch over pid namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.
Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.
This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.
It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.
Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

Merge tag 'cap-checkpoint-restore-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull checkpoint-restore updates from Christian Brauner:
"This enables unprivileged checkpoint/restore of processes.
Given that this work has been going on for quite some time the first
sentence in this summary is hopefully more exciting than the actual
final code changes required. Unprivileged checkpoint/restore has seen
a frequent increase in interest over the last two years and has thus
been one of the main topics for the combined containers &
checkpoint/restore microconference since at least 2018 (cf. [1]).
Here are just the three most frequent use-cases that were brought forward:
- The JVM developers are integrating checkpoint/restore into a Java
VM to significantly decrease the startup time.
- In high-performance computing environment a resource manager will
typically be distributing jobs where users are always running as
non-root. Long-running and "large" processes with significant
startup times are supposed to be checkpointed and restored with
CRIU.
- Container migration as a non-root user.
In all of these scenarios it is either desirable or required to run
without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The userspace implementation of
checkpoint/restore CRIU already has the pull request for supporting
unprivileged checkpoint/restore up (cf. [2]).
To enable unprivileged checkpoint/restore a new dedicated capability
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is introduced. This solution has last been
discussed in 2019 in a talk by Google at Linux Plumbers (cf. [1]
"Update on Task Migration at Google Using CRIU") with Adrian and
Nicolas providing the implementation now over the last months. In
essence, this allows the CRIU binary to be installed with the
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE vfs capability set thereby enabling
unprivileged users to restore processes.
To make this possible the following permissions are altered:
- Selecting a specific PID via clone3() set_tid relaxed from userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Selecting a specific PID via /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid relaxed
from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Accessing /proc/pid/map_files relaxed from init userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN to init userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Changing /proc/self/exe from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
Of these four changes the /proc/self/exe change deserves a few words
because the reasoning behind even restricting /proc/self/exe changes
in the first place is just full of historical quirks and tracking this
down was a questionable version of fun that I'd like to spare others.
In short, it is trivial to change /proc/self/exe as an unprivileged
user, i.e. without userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN right now. Either via ptrace()
or by simply intercepting the elf loader in userspace during exec.
Nicolas was nice enough to even provide a POC for the latter (cf. [3])
to illustrate this fact.
The original patchset which introduced PR_SET_MM_MAP had no
permissions around changing the exe link. They too argued that it is
trivial to spoof the exe link already which is true. The argument
brought up against this was that the Tomoyo LSM uses the exe link in
tomoyo_manager() to detect whether the calling process is a policy
manager. This caused changing the exe links to be guarded by userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
All in all this rather seems like a "better guard it with something
rather than nothing" argument which imho doesn't qualify as a great
security policy. Again, because spoofing the exe link is possible for
the calling process so even if this were security relevant it was
broken back then and would be broken today. So technically, dropping
all permissions around changing the exe link would probably be
possible and would send a clearer message to any userspace that relies
on /proc/self/exe for security reasons that they should stop doing
this but for now we're only relaxing the exe link permissions from
userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
There's a final uapi change in here. Changing the exe link used to
accidently return EINVAL when the caller lacked the necessary
permissions instead of the more correct EPERM. This pr contains a
commit fixing this. I assume that userspace won't notice or care and
if they do I will revert this commit. But since we are changing the
permissions anyway it seems like a good opportunity to try this fix.
With these changes merged unprivileged checkpoint/restore will be
possible and has already been tested by various users"

When the thread group leader changes during exec and the old leaders
thread is reaped proc_flush_pid will flush the dentries for the entire
process because the leader still has it's original pid.
Fix this by exchanging the pids in an rcu safe manner,
and wrapping the code to do that up in a helper exchange_tids.
When I removed switch_exec_pids and introduced this behavior
in d73d65293e ("[PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pids") there
really was nothing that cared as flushing happened with
the cached dentry and de_thread flushed both of them on exec.
This lack of fully exchanging pids became a problem a few months later
when I introduced 48e6484d49 ("[PATCH] proc: Rewrite the proc dentry
flush on exit optimization"). Which overlooked the de_thread case
was no longer swapping pids, and I was looking up proc dentries
by task->pid.
The current behavior isn't properly a bug as everything in proc will
continue to work correctly just a little bit less efficiently. Fix
this just so there are no little surprise corner cases waiting to bite
people.
-- Oleg points out this could be an issue in next_tgid in proc where
has_group_leader_pid is called, and reording some of the assignments
should fix that.

The code in next_tgid has been changed to use PIDTYPE_TGID,
and the posix cpu timers code has been fixed so it does not
need the 10 year old hack, so this should be safe to merge
now.

The problem is that because wait_pidfd.lock is taken under the tasklist
lock. It must always be taken with irqs disabled as tasklist_lock can be
taken from interrupt context and if wait_pidfd.lock was already taken this
would create a lock order inversion.
Oleg suggested just disabling irqs where I have added extra calls to
wait_pidfd.lock. That should be safe and I think the code will eventually
do that. It was rightly pointed out by Christian that sharing the
wait_pidfd.lock was a premature optimization.
It is also true that my pre-merge window testing was insufficient. So
remove the premature optimization and give struct pid a dedicated lock of
it's own for struct pid things. I have verified that lockdep sees all 3
paths where we take the new pid->lock and lockdep does not complain.
It is my current day dream that one day pid->lock can be used to guard the
task lists as well and then the tasklist_lock won't need to be held to
deliver signals. That will require taking pid->lock with irqs disabled.

"This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out

Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent

persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
mount of proc to move forward.
The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

This changes __pidfd_fget to use the new exec_update_mutex

This should be safe, as the credentials do not change

file access is possible with holding the cred_guard_mutex
here is also possbile with the exec_update_mutex.

The alloc_pid() codepath used to be simpler. With the introducation of the
ability to choose specific pids in 49cb2fc42c ("fork: extend clone3() to
support setting a PID") it got more complex. It hasn't been super obvious
that ENOMEM is returned when the pid namespace init process/child subreaper
of the pid namespace has died. As can be seen from multiple attempts to
improve this see e.g. [1] and most recently [2].
We regressed returning ENOMEM in [3] and [2] restored it. Let's add a
comment on top explaining that this is historic and documented behavior and
cannot easily be changed.

Recent changes to alloc_pid() allow the pid number to be specified on
the command line. If set_tid_size is set, then the code scanning the
levels will hard-set retval to -EPERM, overriding it's previous -ENOMEM
value.
After the code scanning the levels, there are error returns that do not
set retval, assuming it is still set to -ENOMEM.
So set retval back to -ENOMEM after scanning the levels.

There remains no more code in the kernel using pids_ns->proc_mnt,
therefore remove it from the kernel.
The big benefit of this change is that one of the most error prone and
tricky parts of the pid namespace implementation, maintaining kernel
mounts of proc is removed.
In addition removing the unnecessary complexity of the kernel mount
fixes a regression that caused the proc mount options to be ignored.
Now that the initial mount of proc comes from userspace, those mount
options are again honored. This fixes Android's usage of the proc
hidepid option.

Rework the flushing of proc to use a list of directory inodes that
need to be flushed.
The list is kept on struct pid not on struct task_struct, as there is
a fixed connection between proc inodes and pids but at least for the
case of de_thread the pid of a task_struct changes.
This removes the dependency on proc_mnt which allows for different
mounts of proc having different mount options even in the same pid
namespace and this allows for the removal of proc_mnt which will
trivially the first mount of proc to honor it's mount options.
This flushing remains an optimization. The functions
pid_delete_dentry and pid_revalidate ensure that ordinary dcache
management will not attempt to use dentries past the point their
respective task has died. When unused the shrinker will
eventually be able to remove these dentries.
There is a case in de_thread where proc_flush_pid can be
called early for a given pid. Which winds up being
safe (if suboptimal) as this is just an optiimization.
Only pid directories are put on the list as the other
per pid files are children of those directories and
d_invalidate on the directory will get them as well.
So that the pid can be used during flushing it's reference count is
taken in release_task and dropped in proc_flush_pid. Further the call
of proc_flush_pid is moved after the tasklist_lock is released in
release_task so that it is certain that the pid has already been
unhashed when flushing it taking place. This removes a small race
where a dentry could recreated.
As struct pid is supposed to be small and I need a per pid lock
I reuse the only lock that currently exists in struct pid the
the wait_pidfd.lock.
The net result is that this adds all of this functionality
with just a little extra list management overhead and
a single extra pointer in struct pid.
v2: Initialize pid->inodes. I somehow failed to get that
initialization into the initial version of the patch. A boot
failure was reported by "kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>", and
failure to initialize that pid->inodes matches all of the reported
symptoms.

This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors from other
processes, based on their pidfd. This is possible using ptrace, and
injection of parasitic code to inject code which leverages SCM_RIGHTS
to move file descriptors between a tracee and a tracer. Unfortunately,
ptrace comes with a high cost of requiring the process to be stopped,
and breaks debuggers. This does not require stopping the process under
manipulation.
One reason to use this is to allow sandboxers to take actions on file
descriptors on the behalf of another process. For example, this can be
combined with seccomp-bpf's user notification to do on-demand fd
extraction and take privileged actions. One such privileged action
is binding a socket to a privileged port.

The main motivation to add set_tid to clone3() is CRIU.
To restore a process with the same PID/TID CRIU currently uses
/proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid. It writes the desired (PID - 1) to
ns_last_pid and then (quickly) does a clone(). This works most of the
time, but it is racy. It is also slow as it requires multiple syscalls.
Extending clone3() to support *set_tid makes it possible restore a
process using CRIU without accessing /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid and
race free (as long as the desired PID/TID is available).
This clone3() extension places the same restrictions (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
on clone3() with *set_tid as they are currently in place for ns_last_pid.
The original version of this change was using a single value for
set_tid. At the 2019 LPC, after presenting set_tid, it was, however,
decided to change set_tid to an array to enable setting the PID of a
process in multiple PID namespaces at the same time. If a process is
created in a PID namespace it is possible to influence the PID inside
and outside of the PID namespace. Details also in the corresponding
selftest.
To create a process with the following PIDs:
PID NS level Requested PID
0 (host) 31496
1 42
2 1
For that example the two newly introduced parameters to struct
clone_args (set_tid and set_tid_size) would need to be:
set_tid[0] = 1;
set_tid[1] = 42;
set_tid[2] = 31496;
set_tid_size = 3;
If only the PIDs of the two innermost nested PID namespaces should be
defined it would look like this:
set_tid[0] = 1;
set_tid[1] = 42;
set_tid_size = 2;
The PID of the newly created process would then be the next available
free PID in the PID namespace level 0 (host) and 42 in the PID namespace
at level 1 and the PID of the process in the innermost PID namespace
would be 1.
The set_tid array is used to specify the PID of a process starting
from the innermost nested PID namespaces up to set_tid_size PID namespaces.
set_tid_size cannot be larger then the current PID namespace level.

struct pid's count is an atomic_t field used as a refcount. Use
refcount_t for it which is basically atomic_t but does additional
checking to prevent use-after-free bugs.
For memory ordering, the only change is with the following:
- if ((atomic_read(&pid->count) == 1) ||
- atomic_dec_and_test(&pid->count)) {
+ if (refcount_dec_and_test(&pid->count)) {
kmem_cache_free(ns->pid_cachep, pid);
Here the change is from: Fully ordered --> RELEASE + ACQUIRE (as per
refcount-vs-atomic.rst) This ACQUIRE should take care of making sure the
free happens after the refcount_dec_and_test().
The above hunk also removes atomic_read() since it is not needed for the
code to work and it is unclear how beneficial it is. The removal lets
refcount_dec_and_test() check for cases where get_pid() happened before
the object was freed.

Merge tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds two main features.
- First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process
managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free
way.
The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is
currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's
death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an
{e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e.
thread-group) exit.
- The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible
to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created
using CLONE_PIDFD.
A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these
processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This
is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service
managers such as systemd.
Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests.
It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done
in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see
some adoption:
- Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS
kernels [1]
- Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to
wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption.
- And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and
CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too"

tests: add pidfd_open() tests
arch: wire-up pidfd_open()
pid: add pidfd_open()
pidfd: add polling selftests
pidfd: add polling support
This adds the pidfd_open() syscall. It allows a caller to retrieve pollable
pidfds for a process which did not get created via CLONE_PIDFD, i.e. for a
process that is created via traditional fork()/clone() calls that is only
referenced by a PID:
int pidfd = pidfd_open(1234, 0);
ret = pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, SIGSTOP, NULL, 0);
With the introduction of pidfds through CLONE_PIDFD it is possible to
created pidfds at process creation time.
However, a lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these processes a
caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This is a problem for
Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service managers such as systemd.
Both are examples of tools that want to make use of pidfds to get reliable
notification of process exit for non-parents (pidfd polling) and race-free
signal sending (pidfd_send_signal()). They intend to switch to this API for
process supervision/management as soon as possible. Having no way to get
pollable pidfds from PID-only processes is one of the biggest blockers for
them in adopting this api. With pidfd_open() making it possible to retrieve
pidfds for PID-based processes we enable them to adopt this api.
In line with Arnd's recent changes to consolidate syscall numbers across
architectures, I have added the pidfd_open() syscall to all architectures
at the same time.

This patch adds polling support to pidfd.
Android low memory killer (LMK) needs to know when a process dies once
it is sent the kill signal. It does so by checking for the existence of
/proc/pid which is both racy and slow. For example, if a PID is reused
between when LMK sends a kill signal and checks for existence of the
PID, since the wrong PID is now possibly checked for existence.
Using the polling support, LMK will be able to get notified when a process
exists in race-free and fast way, and allows the LMK to do other things
(such as by polling on other fds) while awaiting the process being killed
to die.
For notification to polling processes, we follow the same existing
mechanism in the kernel used when the parent of the task group is to be
notified of a child's death (do_notify_parent). This is precisely when the
tasks waiting on a poll of pidfd are also awakened in this patch.
We have decided to include the waitqueue in struct pid for the following
reasons:
1. The wait queue has to survive for the lifetime of the poll. Including
it in task_struct would not be option in this case because the task can
be reaped and destroyed before the poll returns.
2. By including the struct pid for the waitqueue means that during
de_thread(), the new thread group leader automatically gets the new
waitqueue/pid even though its task_struct is different.
Appropriate test cases are added in the second patch to provide coverage of
all the cases the patch is handling.

Make the clone and fork syscalls return EAGAIN when the limit on the
number of pids /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is exceeded.
Currently, when the pid_max limit is exceeded, the kernel will return
ENOSPC from the fork and clone syscalls. This is contrary to the
documented behaviour, which explicitly calls out the pid_max case as one
where EAGAIN should be returned. It also leads to really confusing error
messages in userspace programs which will complain about a lack of disk
space when they fail to create processes/threads for this reason.
This error is being returned because alloc_pid() uses the idr api to find
a new pid; when there are none available, idr_alloc_cyclic() returns
-ENOSPC, and this is being propagated back to userspace.
This behaviour has been broken before, and was explicitly fixed in
commit 35f71bc0a0 ("fork: report pid reservation failure properly"),
so I think -EAGAIN is definitely the right thing to return in this case.
The current behaviour change dates from commit 95846ecf9d ("pid:
replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR AIP") and was I believe
unintentional.
This patch has no impact on the case where allocating a pid fails because
the child reaper for the namespace is dead; that case will still return
-ENOMEM.

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.
Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.
The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.
The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.
This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *. 32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes. Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.
Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().
Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

There are several functions that do find_task_by_vpid() followed by
get_task_struct(). We can use a helper function instead.
