This series backports the patchset
"exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/T/#u)
to 5.15, as recommended at
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2023/01/exploiting-null-dereferences-in-linux.html
This required backporting various prerequisite patches.
I've tested that oops_limit and warn_limit work correctly on x86_64.
Eric W. Biederman (2):
exit: Add and use make_task_dead.
objtool: Add a missing comma to avoid string concatenation

2.39.1
From: Xiaoming Ni <[email protected]>
commit 3ddd9a808cee7284931312f2f3e854c9617f44b2 upstream.
Patch series "sysctl: first set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.
Finally had time to respin the series of the work we had started last
year on cleaning up the kernel/sysct.c kitchen sink. People keeps
stuffing their sysctls in that file and this creates a maintenance
burden. So this effort is aimed at placing sysctls where they actually
belong.
I'm going to split patches up into series as there is quite a bit of
work.
This first set adds register_sysctl_init() for uses of registerting a
sysctl on the init path, adds const where missing to a few places,
generalizes common values so to be more easy to share, and starts the
move of a few kernel/sysctl.c out where they belong.
The majority of rework on v2 in this first patch set is 0-day fixes.
Eric Biederman's feedback is later addressed in subsequent patch sets.
I'll only post the first two patch sets for now. We can address the
rest once the first two patch sets get completely reviewed / Acked.
This patch (of 9):
The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
Today though folks heavily rely on tables on kernel/sysctl.c so they can
easily just extend this table with their needed sysctls. In order to
help users move their sysctls out we need to provide a helper which can
be used during code initialization.
We special-case the initialization use of register_sysctl() since it
*is* safe to fail, given all that sysctls do is provide a dynamic
interface to query or modify at runtime an existing variable. So the
use case of register_sysctl() on init should *not* stop if the sysctls
don't end up getting registered. It would be counter productive to stop
boot if a simple sysctl registration failed.
Provide a helper for init then, and document the recommended init levels
to use for callers of this routine. We will later use this in
subsequent patches to start slimming down kernel/sysctl.c tables and
moving sysctl registration to the code which actually needs these
sysctls.

From: Tiezhu Yang <[email protected]>
commit 1a2383e8b84c0451fd9b1eec3b9aab16f30b597c upstream.
In the current code, the following three places need to unset
panic_on_warn before calling panic() to avoid recursive panics:
kernel/kcsan/report.c: print_report()
kernel/sched/core.c: __schedule_bug()
mm/kfence/report.c: kfence_report_error()
In order to avoid copy-pasting "panic_on_warn = 0" all over the places,
it is better to move it inside panic() and then remove it from the other
places.

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
commit 1fb466dff904e4a72282af336f2c355f011eec61 upstream.
Recently the kbuild robot reported two new errors:
>> lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.o: warning: objtool: .text.unlikely: unexpected end of section
>> arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.o: warning: objtool: oops_end() falls through to next function show_opcodes()
I don't know why they did not occur in my test setup but after digging
it I realized I had accidentally dropped a comma in
tools/objtool/check.c when I renamed rewind_stack_do_exit to
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.
Add that comma back to fix objtool errors.

From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>
commit dbecf9b8b8ce580f4e11afed9d61e8aa294cddd2 upstream.
In linux-next, IA64_MCA_RECOVERY uses the (new) function
make_task_dead(), which is not exported for use by modules. Instead of
exporting it for one user, convert IA64_MCA_RECOVERY to be a bool
Kconfig symbol.
In a config file from "kernel test robot <[email protected]>" for a
different problem, this linker error was exposed when
CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=m.
Fixes this build error:
ERROR: modpost: "make_task_dead" [arch/ia64/kernel/mca_recovery.ko] undefined!

The function's name is make_task_dead(), change it so there is no more
build error.
Additionally, include linux/sched/task.h in arch/h8300/kernel/traps.c
to avoid the same error because do_exit()'s declaration is in kernel.h
but make_task_dead()'s is in task.h, which is not included in traps.c.

2.39.1
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.
There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.
Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.
Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.
As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

2.39.1
From: Jann Horn <[email protected]>
commit d4ccd54d28d3c8598e2354acc13e28c060961dbb upstream.
Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an
attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look
completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if
each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and
this causes a counter to eventually overflow.
The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded
refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit
platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms
that much nowadays.)
So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing.
The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like
how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically
important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or
a text console that oopses will be printed to.
In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork()
child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run
when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that
oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per
run.
(Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing
happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor
of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock
contention.)
It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter
with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical
environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on
normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark.
12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much
longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical
desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and
violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders
of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI
pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

commit 9fc9e278a5c0b708eeffaf47d6eb0c82aa74ed78 upstream.
Like oops_limit, add warn_limit for limiting the number of warnings when
panic_on_warn is not set.

commit 79cc1ba7badf9e7a12af99695a557e9ce27ee967 upstream.
Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll
their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn". Consolidate this
into a single function so that future instrumentation can be added in
a single location.

Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior.
Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with
the initial test.

Warning: /sys/kernel/oops_count is defined 2 times:

Hi,
Thanks for the backports.
I have tried backporting the oops_limit patches to LTS 5.15.y and had a
similar set of patches, just want to add a note here on an alternate way
for backporting this patch without resolving conflicts manually:
Here is the sequence:
* Patch 12: [panic: Separate sysctl logic from CONFIG_SMP]
--> Cherry-pick Commit: 05ea0424f0e2 ("exit: Move oops specific logic
from do_exit into make_task_dead") upstream
--> Cherry-pick Commit: de77c3a5b95c ("exit: Move force_uaccess back
into do_exit") upstream
* Patch 13 which is Commit: d4ccd54d28d3 ("exit: Put an upper limit on
how often we can oops") upstream, will be a clean cherry-pick.
The benefit may be making future backports simpler in make_task_dead().
This was the only difference, so your backport looks good to me.
Regards,
Harshit

It's certainly an option. The reason why I didn't do it that way is to reduce
the impact of any potential bugs where do_exit() is still called when the new
make_task_dead() function should be used instead. With my series, the effect is
just that oops_limit won't take effect in such cases. If we also backported
commit 05ea0424f0e2 ("exit: Move oops specific logic from do_exit into
make_task_dead"), then do_exit() will lose various other things, such as
panicing when called from an interrupt handler. That would increase the chance
of regressions, unless we made absolutely sure that everywhere that should be
using make_task_dead() is indeed using it instead of do_exit().
Commit 0e25498f8cd4 ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead."), which I backported,
did the vast majority of conversions to make_task_dead().
Some architectures still have uses of do_exit() that got cleaned up later,
though. It seems it was mostly unreachable code, and some cases that should
have been doing something else such as BUG() or sending a signal to userspace.
So, generally not super important cases.
Still, getting all that would bring in many more patches. We could do that, but
since this is already a 20-patch series, I wanted to limit the scope a bit.
These extra patches could always be backported later on top of this if desired.

Thanks a lot for explaining!

I've queued up this and the 5.10 backport, thanks!
