"On second thought, let's not log core dump failures. 'Tis a silly place"
because if you can't tell your core dump is truncated, maybe you should
just fix your debugger instead of adding bugs to the kernel.

In load_elf_binary as part of the execve(), when the current
task’s personality has MMAP_PAGE_ZERO set, the kernel allocates
one page at address 0. According to the comment:
/* Why this, you ask??? Well SVr4 maps page 0 as read-only,
and some applications "depend" upon this behavior.
Since we do not have the power to recompile these, we
emulate the SVr4 behavior. Sigh. */
At one point, Linus suggested removing this [1].
Code search in debian didn't see much use of MMAP_PAGE_ZERO [2],
it exists in util and test (rr).
Sealing this is probably safe, the comment doesn't say
the app ever wanting to change the mapping to rwx. Sealing
also ensures that never happens.
If there is a complaint, we can make this configurable.

Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash
investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently
the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing
a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file
written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user
mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents.
There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or
produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note.
Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason
what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing.
Report the size of the data written to aid in diagnosing the user mode
helper.

Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of every
xfeature that is present.
This information will be used by debuggers to understand the XSAVE layout of
the machine where the core file has been dumped, and to read XSAVE registers,
especially during cross-platform debugging.
The XSAVE layouts of modern AMD and Intel CPUs differ, especially since
Memory Protection Keys and the AVX-512 features have been inculcated into
the AMD CPUs.
Since AMD never adopted (and hence never left room in the XSAVE layout for)
the Intel MPX feature, tools like GDB had assumed a fixed XSAVE layout
matching that of Intel (based on the XCR0 mask).
Hence, core dumps from AMD CPUs didn't match the known size for the XCR0 mask.
This resulted in GDB and other tools not being able to access the values of
the AVX-512 and PKRU registers on AMD CPUs.
To solve this, an interim solution has been accepted into GDB, and is already
a part of GDB 14, see
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-March/198081.html.
But it depends on heuristics based on the total XSAVE register set size
and the XCR0 mask to infer the layouts of the various register blocks
for core dumps, and hence, is not a foolproof mechanism to determine the
layout of the XSAVE area.
Therefore, add a new core dump note in order to allow GDB/LLDB and other
relevant tools to determine the layout of the XSAVE area of the machine where
the corefile was dumped.
The new core dump note (which is being proposed as a per-process .note
section), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT (0x205) contains an array of structures.
Each structure describes an individual extended feature containing
offset, size and flags in this format:
struct x86_xfeat_component {
u32 type;
u32 size;
u32 offset;
u32 flags;
};
and in an independent manner, allowing for future extensions without depending
on hw arch specifics like CPUID etc.

The p_align values in PT_LOAD were ignored for static PIE executables
(i.e. ET_DYN without PT_INTERP). This is because there is no way to
request a non-fixed mmap region with a specific alignment. ET_DYN with
PT_INTERP uses a separate base address (ELF_ET_DYN_BASE) and binfmt_elf
performs the ASLR itself, which means it can also apply alignment. For
the mmap region, the address selection happens deep within the vm_mmap()
implementation (when the requested address is 0).
The earlier attempt to implement this:
commit 9630f0d60f ("fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE")
commit 925346c129 ("fs/binfmt_elf: fix PT_LOAD p_align values for loaders")
did not take into account the different base address origins, and were
eventually reverted:
aeb7923733 ("revert "fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE"")
In order to get the correct alignment from an mmap base, binfmt_elf must
perform a 0-address load first, then tear down the mapping and perform
alignment on the resulting address. Since this is slightly more overhead,
only do this when it is needed (i.e. the alignment is not the default
ELF alignment). This does, however, have the benefit of being able to
use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, to avoid potential collisions.
With this fixed, enable the static PIE self tests again.

In preparation to support PT_LOAD with large p_align values on
non-PT_INTERP ET_DYN executables (i.e. "static pie"), we'll need to use
the total_size details earlier. Move this separately now to make the
next patch more readable. As total_size and load_bias are currently
calculated separately, this has no behavioral impact.

Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for
executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might
cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some
notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with
a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this.
Here are some of the notes that I took:
(1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues
such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable,
then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then
calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because
another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called
fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this.
(2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a
running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all
prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism.
I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was
the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]).
An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a
_privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used
to take over the host.
(It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with
unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.)
The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when
starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example,
when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into
executing itself.
This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the
container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary
itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this
could be replaced with an executable script specifying the
interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe.
As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the
target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will
point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed
to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the
runC binary on the host.
However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now,
one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't.
To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways:
* Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and
then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through
/proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a
separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary
exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used
to attack other containers or the host itself.
* Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with
the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an
initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe
for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call
exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off
to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing
(which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting
that binary.
To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such
attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder.
That's all.
The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy
of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to
containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC)
was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create()
system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file,
which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed,
in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk
binary.
Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the
host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and
not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host
binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to
this will also fail.
The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these
attacks.
(3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an
exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an
additional hook but that should be about it.
(4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time
ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of
the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries
aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries.
(5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means:
(5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing
overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years.
(5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec
completed treating it on a par with shared libraries.
Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not
completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's
actually the case and not guess.

in memory, the existing fixed limit on the size of the ELF notes section
becomes a bottleneck. The notes section quickly reaches its capacity,
leading to incomplete memory segment information in the resulting coredump.
This truncation compromises the utility of the coredumps, as crucial
information about the memory state at the time of the crash might be
omitted.
This enhancement removes the previous static limit of 4MB, allowing
system administrators to adjust the size based on system-specific
requirements or constraints.
Eg:
$ sysctl -a | grep core_file_note_size_limit
kernel.core_file_note_size_limit = 4194304
$ sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit
4194304
$echo 519304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit
$sysctl -n kernel.core_file_note_size_limit
519304
Attempting to write beyond the ceiling value of 16MB
$echo 17194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_file_note_size_limit
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

An order 7 allocation is (1 << 7) contiguous pages, or 512K. It's not
a surprise that this allocation failed on a system that's been running
for a while.
More digging showed that it was fairly easy to see the order 7
allocation by just sending a SIGQUIT to chrome (or other processes) to
generate a core dump. The actual amount being allocated was 279,584
bytes and it was for "core_note_type" NT_ARM_SVE.
There was quite a bit of discussion [1] on the mailing lists in
response to my v1 patch attempting to switch to vmalloc. The overall
conclusion was that we could likely reduce the 279,584 byte allocation
by quite a bit and Mark Brown has sent a patch to that effect [2].
However even with the 279,584 byte allocation gone there are still
65,552 byte allocations. These are just barely more than the 65,536
bytes and thus would require an order 5 allocation.
An order 5 allocation is still something to avoid unless necessary and
nothing needs the memory here to be contiguous. Change the allocation
to kvzalloc() which should still be efficient for small allocations
but doesn't force the memory subsystem to work hard (and maybe fail)
at getting a large contiguous chunk.

While load_elf_library() is a libc5-ism, we can still replace most of
its contents with elf_load() as well, further simplifying the code.
Some historical context:
- libc4 was a.out and used uselib (a.out support has been removed)
- libc5 was ELF and used uselib (there may still be users)
- libc6 is ELF and has never used uselib

Implement a helper elf_load() that wraps elf_map() and performs all
of the necessary work to ensure that when "memsz > filesz" the bytes
described by "memsz > filesz" are zeroed.
An outstanding issue is if the first segment has filesz 0, and has a
randomized location. But that is the same as today.
In this change I replaced an open coded padzero() that did not clear
all of the way to the end of the page, with padzero() that does.
I also stopped checking the return of padzero() as there is at least
one known case where testing for failure is the wrong thing to do.
It looks like binfmt_elf_fdpic may have the proper set of tests
for when error handling can be safely completed.
I found a couple of commits in the old history

It seems pretty clear that binfmt_elf_fdpic with skipping clear_user() for
non-writable segments and otherwise calling clear_user(), aka padzero(),
and checking it's return code is the right thing to do.
I just skipped the error checking as that avoids breaking things.
And notably, it looks like Borland's Kylix died in 2005 so it might be
safe to just consider read-only segments with memsz > filesz an error.

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

* branch 'expand-stack':
gup: add warning if some caller would seem to want stack expansion
mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held
execve: expand new process stack manually ahead of time
mm: make find_extend_vma() fail if write lock not held
powerpc/mm: convert coprocessor fault to lock_mm_and_find_vma()
mm/fault: convert remaining simple cases to lock_mm_and_find_vma()
arm/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()

mips/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
powerpc/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
arm64/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable
mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper
This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.
For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks. Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.
It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma. This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.
As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid. So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

Make calls to extend_vma() and find_extend_vma() fail if the write lock
is required.
To avoid making this a flag-day event, this still allows the old
read-locking case for the trivial situations, and passes in a flag to
say "is it write-locked". That way write-lockers can say "yes, I'm
being careful", and legacy users will continue to work in all the common
cases until they have been fully converted to the new world order.

fill_note_info() iterates through the list of threads collected in
mm->core_state->dumper, allocating a struct elf_thread_core_info
instance for each and linking those into a list.
We need the entry corresponding to current to be first in the
resulting list, so the logics for list insertion is
if it's for current or list is empty
insert in the head
else
insert after the first element
However, in mm->core_state->dumper the entry for current is guaranteed
to be the first one. Which means that both parts of condition will
be true on the first iteration and neither will be true on all subsequent
ones.
Taking the first iteration out of the loop simplifies things nicely...

Commit 925346c129 ("fs/binfmt_elf: fix PT_LOAD p_align values for
loaders") was an attempt to fix regressions due to 9630f0d60f
("fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE").
But regressionss continue to be reported:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cb5b81bd-9882-e5dc-cd22-54bdbaaefbbc@leemhuis.info/https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215720https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b685f3d0-da34-531d-1aa9-479accd3e21b@leemhuis.info
This patch reverts the fix, so the original can also be reverted.
