[PATCH 0/2] Tracking user space vDSO remaping

[PATCH 0/2] Tracking user space vDSO remaping

[Laurent Dufour]

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO
base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the vDSO
sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference is no
more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook 'arch_remap' which is called
when mremap is done and the mm lock still hold. The next patch is adding the
vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the powerpc architecture.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/mm: Tracking vDSO remap

[Laurent Dufour]

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.

This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/mm: Tracking vDSO remap

[Laurent Dufour]

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.

This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping.

Just wanted to point out that I like that new hook as UserModeLinux can benefit from it.
UML has the concept of stub pages where the UML host process can inject commands to guest processes.
Currently we play nasty games in the TLB code to make all this work.
arch_unmap() could make this stuff more clear and less error prone.

Thanks,

So instead of spreading these empty prototypes around mmu_context.h 
files, why not add something like this to the PPC definition:

 #define __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP

and define the empty prototype for everyone else? It's a bit like how 
the __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_* namespace works.

That should shrink this patch considerably.

Thanks,

My idea was to mimic the MMU hook's definition. This new hook is in the
continuity of what have been done for arch_dup_mmap, arch_exit_mmap,
arch_unmap and arch_bprm_mm_init.

Do you think that there is a need to make this one in another way ?

[PATCH v2 0/2] Tracking user space vDSO remaping

[Laurent Dufour]

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO
base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the vDSO
sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference is no
more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook 'arch_remap' which is called
when mremap is done and the mm lock still hold. The next patch is adding the
vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the powerpc architecture.

Changes in v2:
--------------
- Following the Ingo Molnar's advice, enabling the call to arch_remap through
  the __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP macro. This reduces considerably the first patch.

[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: Introducing arch_remap hook

[Laurent Dufour]

Some architecture would like to be triggered when a memory area is moved
through the mremap system call.

This patch is introducing a new arch_remap mm hook which is placed in the
path of mremap, and is called before the old area is unmapped (and the
arch_unmap hook is called).

The architectures which need to call this hook should define
__HAVE_ARCH_REMAP in their asm/mmu_context.h and provide the arch_remap
service with the following prototype:
void arch_remap(struct mm_struct *mm,
                unsigned long old_start, unsigned long old_end,
                unsigned long new_start, unsigned long new_end);

[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/mm: Tracking vDSO remap

[Laurent Dufour]

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.

This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping.

Sure you're right.

I'll provide a v3 fixing that comment.

[PATCH v3 0/2] Tracking user space vDSO remaping

[Laurent Dufour]

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO
base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the vDSO
sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference is no
more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook 'arch_remap' which is called
when mremap is done and the mm lock still hold. The next patch is adding the
vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the powerpc architecture.

Changes in v3:
--------------
- Fixed grammatical error in a comment of the second patch. 
  Thanks again, Ingo.

Changes in v2:
--------------
- Following the Ingo Molnar's advice, enabling the call to arch_remap through
  the __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP macro. This reduces considerably the first patch.

Some architecture would like to be triggered when a memory area is moved

This patch is introducing a new arch_remap mm hook which is placed in the

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system

So AFAICS PowerPC can have multi-page vDSOs, right?

So what happens if I munmap() the middle or end of the vDSO? The above 
condition only seems to cover unmaps that affect the first page. I 
think 'affects any page' ought to be the right condition? (But I know 
nothing about PowerPC so I might be wrong.)

mremap() doesn't allow moving multiple vmas, but it allows the 
movement of multi-page vmas and it also allows partial mremap()s, 
where it will split up a vma.

In particular, what happens if an mremap() is done with 
old_start == vdso_base, but a shorter end than the end of the vDSO? 
(i.e. a partial mremap() with fewer pages than the vDSO size)

Thanks,

mremap() doesn't allow moving multiple vmas, but it allows the 
movement of multi-page vmas and it also allows partial mremap()s, 
where it will split up a vma.

In particular, what happens if an mremap() is done with 
old_start == vdso_base, but a shorter end than the end of the vDSO? 
(i.e. a partial mremap() with fewer pages than the vDSO size)

I.e. mremap() supports the shrinking (and growing) of vmas. In that 
case mremap() will unmap the end of the vma and will shrink the 
remaining vDSO vma.

Doesn't that result in a non-working vDSO that should zero out 
vdso_base?

You are right, we have at least two pages.

Is there a way to forbid splitting ? Does x86 deal with that case at all
or it doesn't have to for some other reason ?

Right. Now we can't completely prevent the user from shooting itself in
the foot I suppose, though there is a legit usage scenario which is to
move the vDSO around which it would be nice to support. I think it's
reasonable to put the onus on the user here to do the right thing.

I argue we should use the right condition to clear vdso_base: if the 
vDSO gets at least partially unmapped. Otherwise there's little point 
in the whole patch: either correctly track whether the vDSO is OK, or 
don't ...

There's also the question of mprotect(): can users mprotect() the vDSO 
on PowerPC?

Thanks,

	Ingo

I argue we should use the right condition to clear vdso_base: if the 
vDSO gets at least partially unmapped. Otherwise there's little point 
in the whole patch: either correctly track whether the vDSO is OK, or 
don't ...

There's also the question of mprotect(): can users mprotect() the vDSO 
on PowerPC?

So we use _install_special_mapping() - maybe PowerPC does that too? 
That adds VM_DONTEXPAND which ought to prevent some - but not all - of 
the VM API weirdnesses.

On x86 we'll just dump core if someone unmaps the vdso.

The same is done on PowerPC. So calling mremap() to extend the vDSO is
failing but splitting it or unmapping a part of it is allowed but lead
to an unusable vDSO.

On PowerPC, you'll get the same result.

Should we prevent the user to break its vDSO ?

That's a good option, but it may be hard to achieve in the case the vDSO
area has been splitted in multiple pieces.

Not sure there is a right way to handle that, here this is a best
effort, allowing a process to unmap its vDSO and having the sigreturn
call done through the stack area (it has to make it executable).

Anyway I'll dig into that, assuming that the vdso_base pointer should be
clear if a part of the vDSO is moved or unmapped. The patch will be
larger since I'll have to get the vDSO size which is private to the
vdso.c file.

Yes, mprotect() the vDSO is allowed on PowerPC, as it is on x86, and
certainly all the other architectures.
Furthermore, if it is done on a partial part of the vDSO it is splitting
the vma...

At least for munmap() I don't think that's a worry: once unmapped 
(even if just partially), vdso_base becomes zero and won't ever be set 
again.

So no need to track the zillion pieces, should there be any: Humpty 
Dumpty won't be whole again, right?

btw., CRIU's main purpose here is to reconstruct a vDSO that was 
originally randomized, but whose address must now be reproduced as-is, 
right?

In that sense detecting the 'good' mremap() as your patch does should 
do the trick and is certainly not objectionable IMHO - I was just 
wondering whether we could make a perfect job very simply.

At least for munmap() I don't think that's a worry: once unmapped 
(even if just partially), vdso_base becomes zero and won't ever be set 
again.

So no need to track the zillion pieces, should there be any: Humpty 
Dumpty won't be whole again, right?

My idea is to clear vdso_base if at least part of the vdso is unmap.
But since some part of the vdso may have been moved and unmapped later,
to be complete, the patch has to handle partial mremap() of the vDSO
too. Otherwise such a scenario will not be detected:

	new_area = mremap(vdso_base + page_size, ....);
	munmap(new_area,...);

You're right, CRIU has to move the vDSO to the same address it has at
checkpoint time.

I'd try to address the perfect job, this may complexify the patch,
especially because the vdso's size is not recorded in the PowerPC
mm_context structure. Not sure it is a good idea to extend that structure..

[PATCH v4 0/2] Tracking user space vDSO remaping

[Laurent Dufour]

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO
base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the vDSO
sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference is no
more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook 'arch_remap' which is called
when mremap is done and the mm lock still hold. The next patch is adding the
vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the powerpc architecture.

Changes in v4:
--------------
- Reviewing the PowerPC part of the patch to handle partial unmap and remap
  of the vDSO.

Changes in v3:
--------------
- Fixed grammatical error in a comment of the second patch. 
  Thanks again, Ingo.

Changes in v2:
--------------
- Following the Ingo Molnar's advice, enabling the call to arch_remap through
  the __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP macro. This reduces considerably the first patch.

[PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/mm: Tracking vDSO remap

[Laurent Dufour]

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.

This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping.
Moving or unmapping partially the vDSO lead to invalidate it from the
kernel point of view.

[PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/mm: Tracking vDSO remap

[Laurent Dufour]

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.

This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping.
Moving or unmapping partially the vDSO lead to invalidate it from the
kernel point of view.

Oh my, that really looks awfully complex, as you predicted, and right 
in every mremap() call.

I'm fine with your original, imperfect, KISS approach. Sorry about 
this detour ...

Well, if we are going to clear it at all yes, we should probably be a
bit smarter about it. My point however was we probably don't need to be
super robust about dealing with any crazy scenario userspace might
conceive.

Nothing prevents it. But here too, I wouldn't bother. The user might be
doing on purpose expecting to catch the resulting signal for example
(though arguably a signal from a sigreturn frame is ... odd).

Ben.

Well, if we are going to clear it at all yes, we should probably be a
bit smarter about it. My point however was we probably don't need to be
super robust about dealing with any crazy scenario userspace might
conceive.

Nothing prevents it. But here too, I wouldn't bother. The user might be
doing on purpose expecting to catch the resulting signal for example
(though arguably a signal from a sigreturn frame is ... odd).

No problem, so let's stay on the v3 version of the patch.
Thanks for Reviewed-by statement which, I guess, applied to the v3 too.
Should I resend the v3 ?

We would like to be able to remap/unmap the VDSO on arm and arm64 as
well. When I proposed a patch with mmu_context.h and mmu-arch-hooks.h
changes to arm64 that were nearly identical to those done to powerpc,
Will Deacon reasonably suggested [1] attempting to combine the code and
provide generic VDSO accessors. Unfortunately, I no prior experience
with generic MM code. Can anyone advise on how to get started with that?
