<content type='text'>
The commit 96d0df79f264 ("proc: make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly")
fixed the access to /proc/self/fd from sub-threads, but introduced another
problem: a sub-thread can't access /proc/&lt;tid&gt;/fd/ or /proc/thread-self/fd
if generic_permission() fails.

Change proc_fd_permission() to check same_thread_group(pid_task(), current).

<title>proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/X</title>

<content type='text'>
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.

Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock.  We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong.  For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies.  In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.

$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...

$ ps -C rpcbind
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  332 ?        00:00:00 rpcbind

$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	0100000
mnt_id:	22
lock:	1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF

$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar  5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -&gt; /run/rpcbind.lock

$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -&gt; /dev/pts/0

You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

seq_printf functions shouldn't really check the return value.
Checking seq_has_overflowed() occasionally is used instead.

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds it is not longer necessary or
desirable to hard code d_drop calls into filesystem specific
d_revalidate implementations.

Remove the unnecessary d_drop calls and rely on d_invalidate
to drop the dentries.  Using d_invalidate ensures that paths
to mount points will not be dropped.

* remove proc_create(NULL, ...) check, let it oops

* warn about proc_create("", ...) and proc_create("very very long name", ...)
  proc code keeps length as u8, no 256+ name length possible

* warn about proc_create("123", ...)
  /proc/$PID and /proc/misc namespaces are separate things,
  but dumb module might create funky a-la $PID entry.

* remove post mortem strchr('/') check
  Triggering it implies either strchr() is buggy or memory corruption.
  It should be VFS check anyway.

In reality, none of these checks will ever trigger,
it is preparation for the next patch.

Currently we don't have a way how to determing from which mount point
file has been opened.  This information is required for proper dumping
and restoring file descriptos due to presence of mount namespaces.  It's
possible, that two file descriptors are opened using the same paths, but
one fd references mount point from one namespace while the other fd --
from other namespace.

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it
has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only
helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/&lt;leader-pid&gt;.

Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/&lt;tid-of-sub-thread&gt;/fd.

Notes:
	- CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task-&gt;files
	  can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security
	  problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in
	  __ptrace_may_access().

	- /proc/self should probably point to /proc/&lt;thread-tid&gt;, but
	  it is too late to change the rules. Perhaps it makes sense
	  to add /proc/thread though.

Test-case:

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		assert(opendir("/proc/self/fd"));
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t t;
		pthread_create(&amp;t, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
		pthread_join(t, NULL);
		return 0;
	}

fails if, say, this executable is not readable and suid_dumpable = 0.

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it
has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only
helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/&lt;leader-pid&gt;.

Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/&lt;tid-of-sub-thread&gt;/fd.

proc_readfd_common() does dir_emit_dots() twice in a row,
we need to do this only once.
