[PATCHv2] x86/mm: set x32 syscall bit in SET_PERSONALITY()

[PATCHv2] x86/mm: set x32 syscall bit in SET_PERSONALITY()

[Dmitry Safonov]

After my changes to mmap(), its code now relies on the bitness of
performing syscall. According to that, it chooses the base of allocation:
mmap_base for 64-bit mmap() and mmap_compat_base for 32-bit syscall.
It was done by:
  commit 1b028f784e8c ("x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for
32-bit mmap()").

The code afterwards relies on in_compat_syscall() returning true for
32-bit syscalls. It's usually so while we're in context of application
that does 32-bit syscalls. But during exec() it is not valid for x32 ELF.
The reason is that the application hasn't yet done any syscall, so x32
bit has not being set.
That results in -ENOMEM for x32 ELF files as there fired BAD_ADDR()
in elf_map(), that is called from do_execve()->load_elf_binary().
For i386 ELFs it works as SET_PERSONALITY() sets TS_COMPAT flag.

I suggest to set x32 bit before first return to userspace, during
setting personality at exec(). This way we can rely on
in_compat_syscall() during exec().

32-bit mmap()")

That results in -ENOMEM for x32 ELF files as there fired BAD_ADDR()
in elf_map(), that is called from do_execve()->load_elf_binary().
For i386 ELFs it works as SET_PERSONALITY() sets TS_COMPAT flag.

I suggest to set x32 bit before first return to userspace, during
setting personality at exec(). This way we can rely on
in_compat_syscall() during exec().

Hi! I must admit I didn't follow close the overall series (so can't
comment much here :) but I have a slightly unrelated question -- is
there a way to figure out if task is running in x32 mode say with
some ptrace or procfs sign?

You also need to clear the bit for an x32 -> x86-64 exec.  Otherwise it seems okay to me.

Oh, indeed!
Thanks for catching, I'll send v3 with it.

You should be able to figure out of a *syscall* is x32 by simply
looking at bit 30 in the syscall number.  (This is unlike i386, which
is currently not reflected in ptrace.)

Do we actually have an x32 per-task mode at all?  If so, maybe we can
just remove it on top of Dmitry's series.

Yes, syscall number will help but from criu perpspective (until
Dima's patches are merged into mainlie) we need to figure out
if we can dump x32 tasks without running parasite code inside,
ie via plain ptrace call or some procfs output. But looks like
it's impossible for now.

Don't think so, x32 should be set upon exec and without Dima's series
it is immutable I think.

The process could be stopped with PTRACE_SEIZE and I think, it'll not
have x32 syscall bit at that moment.

I guess the question comes from that we're releasing CRIU 3.0 with
32-bit C/R and some other cool stuff, but we don't support x32 yet.
As we don't want release a thing that we aren't properly testing.
So for a while we should error on dumping x32 applications.

I think, the best way for now is to check physicall address of vdso
from /proc/.../pagemap. If it's CONFIG_VDSO=n kernel, I guess we could
also add check for %ds from ptrace's register set. For x32 it's set to
__USER_DS, while for native it's 0 (looking at start_thread() and
compat_start_thread()). The application can simply change it without
any consequence - so it's not very reliable, we could only warn at
catching it, not rely on this.

I proposed to the ptrace people a virtual register for this and a few other things, but it got bikeshed to death.

Also, even more simple-minded: for now we could just check binary magic

I also think, it should be quite easy to add, as we have arch_prctl() 
for vdso and etc.
But there are things, which will not work if we just dump application
as 64-bit.

For example, what comes to mind: sys_get_robust_list(), it has different 
pointers for 64-bit or for x32/ia32 applications: robust_list
and compat_robust_list. So during C/R we should sometimes call
compatible syscalls for x32 applications to dump/restore, as for futex
list e.g., native will return NULL or empty list.

I also think, it should be quite easy to add, as we have arch_prctl() 
for vdso and etc.
But there are things, which will not work if we just dump application
as 64-bit.

For example, what comes to mind: sys_get_robust_list(), it has different 
pointers for 64-bit or for x32/ia32 applications: robust_list
and compat_robust_list. So during C/R we should sometimes call
compatible syscalls for x32 applications to dump/restore, as for futex
list e.g., native will return NULL or empty list.

Maybe we should just save both pointers with CRIU for simplicity.
Which will add additional syscall for most applications that define only
one of compat/native lists.

I think, there are some other things like that, but it's end of the day
and nothing crosses my mind.

Anyway, I wouldn't want release anything without adding it to regular
tests, so that would need also some time to do. And a funny thing: there
are many folks which runs 32-bit containers on x86_64 to save memory,
but they use ia32, not x32. Maybe because of envoironment which is
easier to get (for x32 there are no templates for example). Maybe just
because.

So, yet I haven't saw any request for x32 C/R while for ia32 there is
crowded room. And quite many people for arm/arm64 where kernel doesn't
support yet vdso mremap() and CRIU doesn't run test for them regulary
yet.

But well, x32 still should be quite easy to add, say, for the next
release after ia32 C/R not sure if it'll be planned though.

What I mean is: why should the kernel care about per-task X32 state
*at all*?  On top of Dmitry's series, TIF_X32 appears to be used to
determine which vDSO to map, which mm layout to use, *and nothing
else*.  Want to write a trivial patch to get rid of it entirely?

Ideally we could get rid of mm->context.ia32_compat, too.  The only
interesting use it has is MPX, and we should probably instead track
mm->context.mpx_layout and determine *that* from the prctl() bitness.
