0729614992 signal: Push pid type down into complete_signal.
This is the bottom and by pushing this down it simplifies the callers
and otherwise leaves things as is.  This is in preparation for allowing
fork to implement better handling of signals set to groups of processes.

24122c7f49 signal: Pass pid and pid type into send_sigqueue
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.

Having the pid to task transition in signal.c will also make it easier
to sort out races with de_thread and and the thread group leader
exiting when it comes time to address that.

59dc6f3c6d signal: Remove no longer required irqsave/restore
Commit a841796f11 ("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 b4abf91047 ("rtmutex: Make
wait_lock irq safe") for a different reason.

Therefore revert commit a841796f11 ("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 b4abf91047 ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock
irq safe") with a four hour run of rcutorture scenario TREE03 with lockdep
enabled as suggested by Paul McKenney.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an

b5bf9a90bb sched/core: Introduce set_special_state()
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.

31931c93df signal: Extend siginfo_layout with SIL_FAULT_{MCEERR|BNDERR|PKUERR}
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.  To include them would take
20 extra bytes an pretty much fill up what is left of
signalfd_siginfo.

0c362f96e1 signal: Stop special casing TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME in siginfo_layout
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.

c999b933fa signal: Reduce copy_siginfo_to_user to just copy_to_user
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.

af40ff687b arm64: signal: Ensure si_code is valid for all fault signals
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().

6b4f3d0105 usb, signal, security: only pass the cred, not the secid, to kill_pid_info_as_cred and security_task_kill
commit d178bc3a70 ("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.

f71dd7dc2d signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where needed
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.  The usage is limited to a single
si_code so at least does not mess up anything else.

Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so
that the userspace ABI is preserved.

Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper
function.

382467358a signal: Helpers for faults with specialized siginfo layouts
The helpers added are:
send_sig_mceerr
force_sig_mceerr
force_sig_bnderr
force_sig_pkuerr

Filling out siginfo properly can ge tricky.  Especially for these
specialized cases where the temptation is to share code with other
cases which use a different subset of siginfo fields.  Unfortunately
that code sharing frequently results in bugs with the wrong siginfo
fields filled in, and makes it harder to verify that the siginfo
structure was properly initialized.

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.

f8ec66014f signal: Add send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault
The vast majority of signals sent from architecture specific code are
simple faults.  Encapsulate this reality with two helper functions so
that the nit-picky implementation of preparing a siginfo does not need
to be repeated many times on each architecture.

As only some architectures support the trapno field, make the trapno
arguement only present on those architectures.

Similary as ia64 has three fields: imm, flags, and isr that
are specific to it.  Have those arguments always present on ia64
and no where else.

This ensures the architecture specific code always remembers which
fields it needs to pass into the siginfo structure.

5f74972ce6 signal: Don't use structure initializers for struct siginfo
The siginfo structure has all manners of holes with the result that a
structure initializer is not guaranteed to initialize all of the bits.
As we have to copy the structure to userspace don't even try to use
a structure initializer.  Instead use clear_siginfo followed by initializing
selected fields.  This gives a guarantee that uninitialized kernel memory
is not copied to userspace.

ea64d5acc8 signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32
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.

212a36a17e signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_from_user32
The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace
since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that
user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary
siginfo data.

Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures
share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union.

In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all
of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure
can be safely copied to userspace if necessary.

When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member.  That
ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged.

faf1f22b61 signal: Ensure generic siginfos the kernel sends have all bits initialized
Call clear_siginfo to ensure stack allocated siginfos are fully
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

This ensures that if there is the kind of confusion documented by
TRAP_FIXME, FPE_FIXME, or BUS_FIXME the kernel won't send unitialized
data to userspace when the kernel generates a signal with SI_USER but
the copy to userspace assumes it is a different kind of signal, and
different fields are initialized.

This also prepares the way for turning copy_siginfo_to_user
into a copy_to_user, by removing the need in many cases to perform
a field by field copy simply to skip the uninitialized fields.

526c3ddb6a signal/arm64: Document conflicts with SI_USER and SIGFPE,SIGTRAP,SIGBUS
Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix and common sense requires
that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code.  As such this use of 0
for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.

Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
flakey implementation.

Utilizing FPE_FIXME, BUS_FIXME, TRAP_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return
SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

But folks this is a new and unique kind of bad.  This is massively
untested code bad.  This is inventing new and unique was to get
siginfo wrong bad.  This is don't even think about Posix or what
siginfo means bad.  This is lots of eyeballs all missing the fact
that the code does the wrong thing bad.  This is getting stuck
and keep making the same mistake bad.

I really hope we can find a non userspace breaking fix for this on a
port as new as arm64.

Possible ABI fixes include:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen

  is simpler and actually correct.

- As the code grabs siglock just send the signal with siglock

43347d56c8 livepatch: send a fake signal to all blocking tasks
Live patching consistency model is of LEAVE_PATCHED_SET and
SWITCH_THREAD. This means that all tasks in the system have to be marked
one by one as safe to call a new patched function. Safe means when a
task is not (sleeping) in a set of patched functions. That is, no
patched function is on the task's stack. Another clearly safe place is
the boundary between kernel and userspace. The patching waits for all
tasks to get outside of the patched set or to cross the boundary. The
transition is completed afterwards.

The problem is that a task can block the transition for quite a long
time, if not forever. It could sleep in a set of patched functions, for
example.  Luckily we can force the task to leave the set by sending it a
fake signal, that is a signal with no data in signal pending structures
(no handler, no sign of proper signal delivered). Suspend/freezer use
this to freeze the tasks as well. The task gets TIF_SIGPENDING set and
is woken up (if it has been sleeping in the kernel before) or kicked by
rescheduling IPI (if it was running on other CPU). This causes the task
to go to kernel/userspace boundary where the signal would be handled and
the task would be marked as safe in terms of live patching.

There are tasks which are not affected by this technique though. The
fake signal is not sent to kthreads. They should be handled differently.
They can be woken up so they leave the patched set and their
TIF_PATCH_PENDING can be cleared thanks to stack checking.

For the sake of completeness, if the task is in TASK_RUNNING state but
not currently running on some CPU it doesn't get the IPI, but it would
eventually handle the signal anyway. Second, if the task runs in the
kernel (in TASK_RUNNING state) it gets the IPI, but the signal is not
handled on return from the interrupt. It would be handled on return to
the userspace in the future when the fake signal is sent again. Stack
checking deals with these cases in a better way.

If the task was sleeping in a syscall it would be woken by our fake
signal, it would check if TIF_SIGPENDING is set (by calling
signal_pending() predicate) and return ERESTART* or EINTR. Syscalls with
ERESTART* return values are restarted in case of the fake signal (see
do_signal()). EINTR is propagated back to the userspace program. This
could disturb the program, but...

* each process dealing with signals should react accordingly to EINTR
  return values.
* syscalls returning EINTR happen to be quite common situation in the
  system even if no fake signal is sent.
* freezer sends the fake signal and does not deal with EINTR anyhow.
  Thus EINTR values are returned when the system is resumed.

The very safe marking is done in architectures' "entry" on syscall and
interrupt/exception exit paths, and in a stack checking functions of
livepatch.  TIF_PATCH_PENDING is cleared and the next
recalc_sigpending() drops TIF_SIGPENDING. In connection with this, also
call klp_update_patch_state() before do_signal(), so that
recalc_sigpending() in dequeue_signal() can clear TIF_PATCH_PENDING
immediately and thus prevent a double call of do_signal().

Note that the fake signal is not sent to stopped/traced tasks. Such task
prevents the patching to finish till it continues again (is not traced
anymore).

Last, sending the fake signal is not automatic. It is done only when
admin requests it by writing 1 to signal sysfs attribute in livepatch
sysfs directory.

426915796c kernel/signal.c: remove the no longer needed SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE check in complete_signal()
complete_signal() checks SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE before it starts to destroy
the thread group, today this is wrong in many ways.

If nothing else, fatal_signal_pending() should always imply that the
whole thread group (except ->group_exit_task if it is not NULL) is
killed, this check breaks the rule.

After the previous changes we can rely on sig_task_ignored();
sig_fatal(sig) && SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can only be true if we actually want
to kill this task and sig == SIGKILL OR it is traced and debugger can
intercept the signal.

This should hopefully fix the problem reported by Dmitry.  This
test-case

	static int init(void *arg)
	{
		for (;;)
			pause();
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		char stack[16 * 1024];

		for (;;) {
			int pid = clone(init, stack + sizeof(stack)/2,
					CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
			assert(pid > 0);

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0, 0) == 0);
			assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, WSTOPPED) == pid);

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0, SIGSTOP) == 0);
			assert(syscall(__NR_tkill, pid, SIGKILL) == 0);
			assert(pid == wait(NULL));
		}
	}

triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(!(task->jobctl & JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING)) in
task_participate_group_stop().  do_signal_stop()->signal_group_exit()
checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and return false, but task_set_jobctl_pending()
checks fatal_signal_pending() and does not set JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING.

And his should fix the minor security problem reported by Kyle,
SECCOMP_RET_TRACE can miss fatal_signal_pending() the same way if the
task is the root of a pid namespace.

628c1bcba2 kernel/signal.c: protect the traced SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE tasks from SIGKILL
The comment in sig_ignored() says "Tracers may want to know about even
ignored signals" but SIGKILL can not be reported to debugger and it is
just wrong to return 0 in this case: SIGKILL should only kill the
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE task if it comes from the parent ns.

Change sig_ignored() to ignore ->ptrace if sig == SIGKILL and rely on
sig_task_ignored().

SISGTOP coming from within the namespace is not really right too but at
least debugger can intercept it, and we can't drop it here because this
will break "gdb -p 1": ptrace_attach() won't work.  Perhaps we will add
another ->ptrace check later, we will see.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
  as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
  resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
  before I sent this pull request.

  This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
  Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
  allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
  namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
  tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
  generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
  information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
  things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
  more expensive.

  Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
  magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
  si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
  me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
  same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
  complaining about unitialized variables.

  I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
  copy to user. The code is available at:

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3

  But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
  before the merge window opened.

  I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
  that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
  initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
  we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities
  mips/signal: In force_fcr31_sig return in the impossible case
  signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic
  fcntl: Don't use ambiguous SIG_POLL si_codes
  prctl: Allow local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file
  security: Use user_namespace::level to avoid redundant iterations in cap_capable()
  userns,pidns: Verify the userns for new pid namespaces
  signal/testing: Don't look for __SI_FAULT in userspace
  signal/mips: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE
  signal/sparc: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE
  signal/ia64: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE
  signal/alpha: Document a conflict with SI_USER for SIGTRAP
