Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks

2017-08-20T20:26:27+00:00

The 'move_paghes()' system call was introduced long long ago with the
same permission checks as for sending a signal (except using
CAP_SYS_NICE instead of CAP_SYS_KILL for the overriding capability).

That turns out to not be a great choice - while the system call really
only moves physical page allocations around (and you need other
capabilities to do a lot of it), you can check the return value to map
out some the virtual address choices and defeat ASLR of a binary that
still shares your uid.

So change the access checks to the more common 'ptrace_may_access()'
model instead.

This tightens the access checks for the uid, and also effectively
changes the CAP_SYS_NICE check to CAP_SYS_PTRACE, but it's unlikely that
anybody really _uses_ this legacy system call any more (we hav ebetter
NUMA placement models these days), so I expect nobody to notice.

Famous last words.

 "Another pile of small fixes and updates for x86:

   - Plug a hole in the SMAP implementation which misses to clear AC on
     NMI entry

   - Fix the norandmaps/ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE logic so the command line
     parameter works correctly again

   - Use the proper accessor in the startup64 code for next_early_pgt to
     prevent accessing of invalid addresses and faulting in the early
     boot code.

   - Prevent CPU hotplug lock recursion in the MTRR code

   - Unbreak CPU0 hotplugging

   - Rename overly long CPUID bits which got introduced in this cycle

   - Two commits which mark data 'const' and restrict the scope of data
     and functions to file scope by making them 'static'"

Pull watchdog fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A fix for the hardlockup watchdog to prevent false positives with
  extreme Turbo-Modes which make the perf/NMI watchdog fire faster than
  the hrtimer which is used to verify.

  Slightly larger than the minimal fix, which just would increase the

  timer interrupts and thread wakeups for all users.

  With this change we restrict the overhead to the extreme Turbo-Mode
  systems"

mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes

2017-08-18T22:32:02+00:00

Moving the x86_64 and arm64 PIE base from 0x555555554000 to 0x000100000000
broke AddressSanitizer.  This is a partial revert of:

  eab09532d400 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
  02445990a96e ("arm64: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB")

The AddressSanitizer tool has hard-coded expectations about where
executable mappings are loaded.

The motivation for changing the PIE base in the above commits was to
avoid the Stack-Clash CVEs that allowed executable mappings to get too
close to heap and stack.  This was mainly a problem on 32-bit, but the
64-bit bases were moved too, in an effort to proactively protect those
systems (proofs of concept do exist that show 64-bit collisions, but
other recent changes to fix stack accounting and setuid behaviors will
minimize the impact).

The new 32-bit PIE base is fine for ASan (since it matches the ET_EXEC
base), so only the 64-bit PIE base needs to be reverted to let x86 and
arm64 ASan binaries run again.  Future changes to the 64-bit PIE base on
these architectures can be made optional once a more dynamic method for
dealing with AddressSanitizer is found.  (e.g.  always loading PIE into
the mmap region for marked binaries.)
