Subject: [RFC 1/2] move binfmt filed to signal_struct

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <[email protected]>

Because the binfmt is not different between threads in the same process,
it can be moved from task_struct to signal_struct.

Seems like a logical cleanup to me.

We should rename signal_struct.

IMHO binfmt belongs in mm_struct.

> We should rename signal_struct.

Indeed, it's in fact 'struct process'. But historically Linus has objected
to admitting that there is really a concept of process in the POSIX sense
that exists deep in the implementation (as it truly does for years now),
beyond "tasks that happen to share a lot of CLONE_* stuff". The name
signal_struct is sufficiently misleading to make it easier to retain the
fantasy he prefers. ;-)


Thanks,
Roland

Hmm. Of-topic, but I think set_binfmt() is buggy (with or without this patch),
it should use __module_get(). I'll send the fix in a minute.

current->mm can't be NULL here. And please note we already have
struct mm_struct *mm = current->mm, so the above should be

This is not right. We leak ->binfmt on exec.

Seems to be fixed by the next patch, but still this is not good.
I'd suggest you to merge these 2 patches into single patch, because
module_put(->binfmt) should go to mmput() from the very beginning.

Hi Oleg, thank you very much for comments, here is an update patch.
This patch can be applied after your set_binfmt() fix.

I am not sure we need this BUG_ON() above. If mm == NULL we will
have the same debug info after the crash.

free_pt does mmput() which calls module_put(mm->binfmt->module). This
is not right when try_module_get() fails. Hmm, the same if dup_mmap()
fails, we are doing an extra module_put().

Perhaps we can use __module_get() again, current->mm->binfmt holds a
reference. But this is a user-visible change, currently fork() can't
succeed if ->module->state == MODULE_STATE_GOING.

So I think we need another small change:

free_pt:
+ mm->binfmt = NULL;
mmput(mm);

Ah, right. It will crash at accessing mm->binfmt and we'll get the
same information. I didn't think seriously.
BTW, now I noticed that it looks similar the security issue with
NULL page mapping. If the kernel has the page mapping to NULL,
it causes unstable behavior, no?

Good catch, should avoid over putting binfmt->module.

looks good for me.
Will send an update.

The kernel can't have NULL mapped. The task can, but in this case
it must have a valid ->mm != NULL.

IOW, if current->mm == NULL, current uses init_mm and thus NULL
can't be mapped.

This is task_struct cleanup patch.

This update patch replaces the below patches;
- task_struct-cleanup-move-binfmt-field-to-signal_struct.patch
- task_struct-cleanup-make-binfmt-module-get-and-put-per-signal_struct.patch
they have been already dropped from -mm.

This patch can be applied Oleg's patch;

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] task_struct cleanup: move binfmt field to mm_struct

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <[email protected]>

Because the binfmt is not different between threads in the same process,
it can be moved from task_struct to mm_struct. And binfmt moudle is handled
per mm_struct instead of task_struct.

I agree! It's a good clean-up to move this field.
