mm: fix overflow check in expand_upwards()

2017-11-02T09:45:42+00:00

commit 37511fb5c91db93d8bd6e3f52f86e5a7ff7cfcdf upstream. Jörn Engel noticed that the expand_upwards() function might not return -ENOMEM in case the requested address is (unsigned long)-PAGE_SIZE and if the architecture didn't defined TASK_SIZE as multiple of PAGE_SIZE. Affected architectures are arm, frv, m68k, blackfin, h8300 and xtensa which all define TASK_SIZE as 0xffffffff, but since none of those have an upwards-growing stack we currently have no actual issue. Nevertheless let's fix this just in case any of the architectures with an upward-growing stack (currently parisc, metag and partly ia64) define TASK_SIZE similar.

mm/page_alloc: Remove kernel address exposure in free_reserved_area()

2017-11-01T21:12:42+00:00

commit adb1fe9ae2ee6ef6bc10f3d5a588020e7664dfa7 upstream. Linus suggested we try to remove some of the low-hanging fruit related to kernel address exposure in dmesg. The only leaks I see on my local system are: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K (ffffffff9e309000 - ffffffff9e311000) Freeing initrd memory: 10588K (ffffa0b736b42000 - ffffa0b737599000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K (ffffffff9df87000 - ffffffff9e309000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K (ffffa0b7288ae000 - ffffa0b728a00000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K (ffffa0b728d62000 - ffffa0b728e00000) Linus says: "I suspect we should just remove [the addresses in the 'Freeing' messages]. I'm sure they are useful in theory, but I suspect they were more useful back when the whole "free init memory" was originally done. These days, if we have a use-after-free, I suspect the init-mem situation is the easiest situation by far. Compared to all the dynamic allocations which are much more likely to show it anyway. So having debug output for that case is likely not all that productive." With this patch the freeing messages now look like this: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K Freeing initrd memory: 10588K Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

mm: fix new crash in unmapped_area_topdown()

2017-06-22T13:21:11+00:00

commit f4cb767d76cf7ee72f97dd76f6cfa6c76a5edc89 upstream. Trinity gets kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:1963! in about 3 minutes of mmap testing. That's the VM_BUG_ON(gap_end < gap_start) at the end of unmapped_area_topdown(). Linus points out how MAP_FIXED (which does not have to respect our stack guard gap intentions) could result in gap_end below gap_start there. Fix that, and the similar case in its alternative, unmapped_area().

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-21T13:42:43+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream. Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

mm: vmpressure: fix sending wrong events on underflow

2017-06-20T12:04:22+00:00

commit e1587a4945408faa58d0485002c110eb2454740c upstream. At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and thus a critical event. Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages. Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

mm, fs: check for fatal signals in do_generic_file_read()

commit 5abf186a30a89d5b9c18a6bf93a2c192c9fd52f6 upstream. do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from userspace. If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous. Make sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to terminate.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone()

2017-06-20T12:04:18+00:00

commit deb88a2a19e85842d79ba96b05031739ec327ff4 upstream. Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2. A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when the system has 64GiB or more memory. [1] When the start address of a memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e. a memory range is not aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a kernel oops. This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with more than 64GiB of memory. This patch-set fixes this issue. Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not test the start section. Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone() to return valid [start, end). Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems"), which was accepted to 3.9. However, this patch-set depends on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit 5f0f2887f4de ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4. So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4. [1] 'Commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems")' This patch (of 2): test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is always aligned by section. Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn. Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs to a zone.

mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp

2017-06-07T22:47:11+00:00

commit 8310d48b125d19fcd9521d83b8293e63eb1646aa upstream. In commit 19be0eaffa3a ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW instead. Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set. However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten. As a result, remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails out immidiately because `(flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !pmd_write(*pmd)` is true. While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else works (e.g. no ptrace attach, no other signals). This is easily reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always): #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define TEST_SIZE 5 * 1024 * 1024 int main(void) { int status; pid_t child; int fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR); void *addr = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr != MAP_FAILED); pid_t parent_pid = getpid(); if ((child = fork()) == 0) { void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr2 != MAP_FAILED); memset(addr2, 'a', TEST_SIZE); pwrite(fd, addr2, TEST_SIZE, (uintptr_t)addr); return 0; } assert(child == waitpid(child, &status, 0)); assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0); return 0; } Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously to the update in gup.c in the original commit. The same pattern exists in follow_devmap_pmd. However, we should not be able to reach that check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we ever do.
