commit b9a532277938798b53178d5a66af6e2915cb27cf upstream.

As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before
having initialized the IPC object state.  Yes, we initialize the IPC
object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work,
that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen.

We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f0329:
"ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we
clearly forgot about msg and shm.

commit 602b8593d2b4138c10e922eeaafe306f6b51817b upstream.

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

   Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un-&gt;semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

<title>ipc, msg: fix message length check for negative values</title>

commit 4e9b45a19241354daec281d7a785739829b52359 upstream.

On 64 bit systems the test for negative message sizes is bogus as the
size, which may be positive when evaluated as a long, will get truncated
to an int when passed to load_msg().  So a long might very well contain a
positive value but when truncated to an int it would become negative.

That in combination with a small negative value of msg_ctlmax (which will
be promoted to an unsigned type for the comparison against msgsz, making
it a big positive value and therefore make it pass the check) will lead to
two problems: 1/ The kmalloc() call in alloc_msg() will allocate a too
small buffer as the addition of alen is effectively a subtraction.  2/ The
copy_from_user() call in load_msg() will first overflow the buffer with
userland data and then, when the userland access generates an access
violation, the fixup handler copy_user_handle_tail() will try to fill the
remainder with zeros -- roughly 4GB.  That almost instantly results in a
system crash or reset.

  ,-[ Reproducer (needs to be run as root) ]--
  | #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
  | #include &lt;sys/msg.h&gt;
  | #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  | #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  |
  | int main(void) {
  |     long msg = 1;
  |     int fd;
  |
  |     fd = open("/proc/sys/kernel/msgmax", O_WRONLY);
  |     write(fd, "-1", 2);
  |     close(fd);
  |
  |     msgsnd(0, &amp;msg, 0xfffffff0, IPC_NOWAIT);
  |
  |     return 0;
  | }
  '---

Fix the issue by preventing msgsz from getting truncated by consistently
using size_t for the message length.  This way the size checks in
do_msgsnd() could still be passed with a negative value for msg_ctlmax but
we would fail on the buffer allocation in that case and error out.

Also change the type of m_ts from int to size_t to avoid similar nastiness
in other code paths -- it is used in similar constructs, i.e.  signed vs.
unsigned checks.  It should never become negative under normal
circumstances, though.

Setting msg_ctlmax to a negative value is an odd configuration and should
be prevented.  As that might break existing userland, it will be handled
in a separate commit so it could easily be reverted and reworked without
reintroducing the above described bug.

Hardening mechanisms for user copy operations would have catched that bug
early -- e.g.  checking slab object sizes on user copy operations as the
usercopy feature of the PaX patch does.  Or, for that matter, detect the
long vs.  int sign change due to truncation, as the size overflow plugin
of the very same patch does.

[fixed differently in 6062a8dc0517bce23e3c2f7d2fea5e22411269a3 upstream.]

In older kernels (before v3.10) ipc_rcu_hdr-&gt;refcount was non-atomic int.
There was possuble double-free bug: do_msgsnd() calls ipc_rcu_putref() under
msq-&gt;q_perm-&gt;lock and RCU, while freequeue() calls it while it holds only
'rw_mutex', so there is no sinchronization between them. Two function
decrements '2' non-atomically, they both can get '0' as result.

do_msgsnd()					freequeue()

msq = msg_lock_check(ns, msqid);
...
ipc_rcu_getref(msq);
msg_unlock(msq);
schedule();
						(caller locks spinlock)
						expunge_all(msq, -EIDRM);
						ss_wakeup(&amp;msq-&gt;q_senders, 1);
						msg_rmid(ns, msq);
						msg_unlock(msq);
ipc_lock_by_ptr(&amp;msq-&gt;q_perm);
ipc_rcu_putref(msq);				ipc_rcu_putref(msq);
&lt; both may get get --(...)-&gt;refcount == 0 &gt;

This patch locks ipc_lock and RCU around ipc_rcu_putref in freequeue.
( RCU protects memory for spin_unlock() )

Similar bugs might be in other users of ipc_rcu_putref().

In the mainline this has been fixed in v3.10 indirectly in commmit
6062a8dc0517bce23e3c2f7d2fea5e22411269a3
("ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop") by Rik van Riel.
That commit optimized locking and converted refcount into atomic.

I'm not sure that anybody should care about this bug: it's very-very unlikely
and no longer exists in actual mainline. I've found this just by looking into
the code, probably this never happens in real life.

<title>hugetlbfs: fix mmap failure in unaligned size request</title>

commit af73e4d9506d3b797509f3c030e7dcd554f7d9c4 upstream.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned.  This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.

This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29243d ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.

To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side.  And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

commit d69f3bad4675ac519d41ca2b11e1c00ca115cecd upstream.

Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB.  By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.

In the newseg() function, ns-&gt;shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.

ipc/shm.c:
 458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
 459 {
...
 465         int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT;
...
 474         if (ns-&gt;shm_tot + numpages &gt; ns-&gt;shm_ctlall)
 475                 return -ENOSPC;

<title>hugetlbfs: fix alignment of huge page requests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40716e29243de46720e5773797791466c28904ec</id>
<content type='text'>
When calling shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB, shmget aligns the request size to
PAGE_SIZE, but this is not sufficient.

Modify hugetlb_file_setup() to align requests to the huge page size, and
to accept an address argument so that all alignment checks can be
performed in hugetlb_file_setup(), rather than in its callers.  Change
newseg() and mmap_pgoff() to match the new prototype and eliminate a now
redundant alignment check.
