commit a068acf2ee77693e0bf39d6e07139ba704f461c3 upstream.

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

<title>cgroup: update cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() to grab siglock</title>

commit 532de3fc72adc2a6525c4d53c07bf81e1732083d upstream.

Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists()
from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit().  Depending
on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on
css_set leading to list corruption.  Fix it by grabbing siglock in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be
visible.

This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has
ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like
once-a-year oops during boot.  I'm wondering whether the better
approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which
disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this
on-demand craziness.

commit f169007b2773f285e098cb84c74aac0154d65ff7 upstream.

If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control
of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B!

What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up
accessing NULL pointer!

Disallow this kind of invalid usage.

commit 3ac1707a13a3da9cfc8f242a15b2fae6df2c5f88 upstream.

The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements,
not the index of the last element.

The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will
be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with
GFP_KERNEL flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, and if we fail to
allocate memory for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().

commit 71b5707e119653039e6e95213f00479668c79b75 upstream.

In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock,
which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup:

thread1                           thread2
---------------------------------------------
exit()
  cgroup_exit()
    put_css_set_taskexit()
      atomic_dec(cgrp-&gt;count);
                                   rmdir();
      /* not safe !! */
      check_for_release(cgrp);

rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.

commit 175431635ec09b1d1bba04979b006b99e8305a83 upstream.

cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt.  On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing.  On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.

Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.

commit 175431635ec09b1d1bba04979b006b99e8305a83 upstream.

cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt.  On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing.  On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.

commit 5edee61edeaaebafe584f8fb7074c1ef4658596b upstream.

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state.  If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.

cgroup_subsys-&gt;fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set.  Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of -&gt;fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer.  If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when -&gt;fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.

This patch moves cgroup_subsys-&gt;fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.

Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys-&gt;fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

<title>cgroup: notify_on_release may not be triggered in some cases</title>

commit 1f5320d5972aa50d3e8d2b227b636b370e608359 upstream.

notify_on_release must be triggered when the last process in a cgroup is
move to another. But if the first(and only) process in a cgroup is moved to
another, notify_on_release is not triggered.

	# mkdir /cgroup/cpu/SRC
	# mkdir /cgroup/cpu/DST
	#
	# echo 1 &gt;/cgroup/cpu/SRC/notify_on_release
	# echo 1 &gt;/cgroup/cpu/DST/notify_on_release
	#
	# sleep 300 &amp;
	[1] 8629
	#
	# echo 8629 &gt;/cgroup/cpu/SRC/tasks
	# echo 8629 &gt;/cgroup/cpu/DST/tasks
	-&gt; notify_on_release for /SRC must be triggered at this point,
	   but it isn't.

This is because put_css_set() is called before setting CGRP_RELEASABLE
in cgroup_task_migrate(), and is a regression introduce by the
commit:74a1166d(cgroups: make procs file writable), which was merged
into v3.0.
