2007-07-16procfs directory entry cleanupChangli Gao1-13/+7
Function proc_register() will assign proc_dir_operations and proc_dir_inode_operations to ent's members proc_fops and proc_iops correctly if ent is a directory. So the early assignment isn't necessary.

2007-07-16Use boot based time for uptime in /procTomas Janousek1-0/+1
Commit 411187fb05cd11676b0979d9fbf3291db69dbce2 caused uptime not to increase during suspend. This may cause confusion so I restore the old behaviour by using the boot based time instead of monotonic for uptime.

2007-07-16Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entriesAlexey Dobriyan2-3/+283
Fix following races: =========================================== 1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile. pde = create_proc_entry() if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; pde->write_proc = ... open write copy_from_user pde = create_proc_entry(); if (!pde) { remove_proc_entry(); return -ENOMEM; /* module unloaded */ } *boom* ========================================== 2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes() remove_proc_entry vfs_read proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness] [check ->f_op->read validness] [verify_area, security permissions checks] ->f_op = NULL; if (file->f_op->read) /* ->f_op dereference, boom */ NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories. Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for directories may be unneeded. NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write, ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release. If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me.

2007-05-08proc: maps protectionKees Cook4-1/+29
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues: - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any kind of ASLR protection from local attackers. - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid()) process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150) - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents. This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to the procfs documentation.

2007-05-08reduce size of task_struct on 64-bit machinesWilliam Cohen1-2/+2
This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool (http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are "unsigned long"? The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields in the task struct take a signficant amount of space: struct thread_struct thread; 688 struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680 CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix printk warnings] Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter1-2/+1
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2007-05-07smaps: add clear_refs file to clear referenceDavid Rientjes2-16/+99
Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file, pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only writable by the user who owns the task. It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using by clearing the reference bits with echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references (echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the difference. For example, using an efficient Mozilla: accumulated time referenced memory ---------------- ----------------- 0 s 408 kB 1 s 408 kB 2 s 556 kB 3 s 1028 kB 4 s 872 kB 5 s 1956 kB 6 s 416 kB 7 s 1560 kB 8 s 2336 kB 9 s 1044 kB 10 s 416 kB This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory footprint for a task.

2007-05-07smaps: add pages referenced count to smapsDavid Rientjes1-7/+13
Adds an additional unsigned long field to struct mem_size_stats called 'referenced'. For each pte walked in the smaps code, this field is incremented by PAGE_SIZE if it has pte-reference bits. An additional line was added to the /proc/pid/smaps output for each VMA to indicate how many pages within it are currently marked as referenced or accessed.

2007-05-07smaps: extract pmd walker from smaps codeDavid Rientjes1-27/+42
Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c. The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to walk over. Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at vma->vm_end. A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator. For each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses, and the private field. The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now: void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, void *private), void *private); Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is invoked for each pmd in the VMA. Its behavior and efficiency is identical to the existing implementation.

The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace. The dump created is 64 bit due to the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: hide the sysctl proc inodes from selinuxEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
Since the security checks are applied on each read and write of a sysctl file, just like they are applied when calling sys_sysctl, they are redundant on the standard VFS constructs. Since it is difficult to compute the security labels on the standard VFS constructs we just mark the sysctl inodes in proc private so selinux won't even bother with them. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc supportEric W. Biederman6-9/+486
With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done when removing a sysctl table. For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or about half that on a 32bit arch. The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl dentries :( We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between ctl table entries and proc files. Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary depending on the namespace you are in. The currently merged namespaces don't have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have different directories depending on which network adapters are visible. By simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you are is trivial to implement.

binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point is created as a proc_generic directory. Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it continues the existence of a horrible hack. So instead simply create the directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.

2007-02-12[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pidEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
