Commit 53dad6d3a8e5 ("ipc: fix race with LSMs") updated ipc_rcu_putref()
to receive rcu freeing function but used generic ipc_rcu_free() instead
of msg_rcu_free() which does security cleaning.

Running LTP msgsnd06 with kmemleak gives the following:

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

  unreferenced object 0xffff88003c0a11f8 (size 8):
    comm "msgsnd06", pid 1645, jiffies 4294672526 (age 6.549s)
    hex dump (first 8 bytes):
      1b 00 00 00 01 00 00 00                          ........
    backtrace:

Manfred Spraul suggested to fix sem.c as well and Davidlohr Bueso to
only use ipc_rcu_free in case of security allocation failure in newary()

With the modified semantics of spin_unlock_wait() a number of
explicit barriers can be removed. Also update the comment for the
do_exit() usecase, as that was somewhat stale/obscure.

Introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep(), this construct is not
uncommon, but the lack of this barrier is.

Use it to better express smp_rmb() uses in WRITE_ONCE(), the IPC
semaphore code and the qspinlock code.

<title>ipc/sem: make semctl setting sempid consistent</title>

<content type='text'>
As indicated by bug#112271, Linux sets the sempid value upon semctl, and
not only for semop calls.  However, within semctl we only do this for
SETVAL, leaving SETALL without updating the field, and therefore rather
inconsistent behavior when compared to other Unices.

There is really no documentation regarding this and therefore users
should not make assumptions.  With this patch, along with updating
semctl.2 manpages, this scenario should become less ambiguous As such,
set sempid on SETALL cmd.

Also update some in-code documentation, specifying where the sempid is
set.

Passes ltp and custom testcase where a child (fork) does SETALL to the
set.

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

sem_lock() did not properly pair memory barriers:

!spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() are both only control barriers.
The code needs an acquire barrier, otherwise the cpu might perform read
operations before the lock test.

As no primitive exists inside &lt;include/spinlock.h&gt; and since it seems
noone wants another primitive, the code creates a local primitive within
ipc/sem.c.

With regards to -stable:

The change of sem_wait_array() is a bugfix, the change to sem_lock() is a
nop (just a preprocessor redefinition to improve the readability).  The
bugfix is necessary for all kernels that use sem_wait_array() (i.e.:
starting from 3.10).

After we acquire the sma-&gt;sem_perm lock in exit_sem(), we are protected
against a racing IPC_RMID operation.  Also at that point, we are the last
user of sem_undo_list.  Therefore it isn't required that we acquire or use

<title>ipc,sem: fix use after free on IPC_RMID after a task using same semaphore set exits</title>

<id>602b8593d2b4138c10e922eeaafe306f6b51817b</id>
<content type='text'>
The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:

   Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64
   000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk

   Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

I wasn't able to trigger any badness on a recent kernel without the
proper config debugs enabled, however I have softlockup reports on some
kernel versions, in the semaphore code, which are similar as above (the
scenario is seen on some servers running IBM DB2 which uses semaphore
syscalls).

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting
on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary,
while freeary sets un-&gt;semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from
list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

After the patch I'm unable to reproduce the problem using the test case
[1].

The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in
exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still
another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the
sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same
semaphore set).

For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot
of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with
the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a
kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following
in the kernel log:
