kernel/sysctl.c: define minmax conv functions in terms of non-minmax versions

2019-03-12T17:04:00+00:00

do_proc_do[u]intvec_minmax_conv() had included open-coded versions of
do_proc_do[u]intvec_conv(); the duplication led to buggy inconsistencies
(missing range checks).  To reduce the likelihood of such problems in the
future, we can instead refactor both to be defined in terms of their
non-bounded counterparts (plus the added check).

kernel/sysctl.c: add missing range check in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv

2019-03-12T17:04:00+00:00

This bug has apparently existed since the introduction of this function
in the pre-git era (4500e91754d3 in Thomas Gleixner's history.git,
"[NET]: Add proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies, use it for proper handling of
neighbour sysctls.").

As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the corresponding check in
do_proc_dointvec_conv().

sysctl: handle overflow for file-max

2019-03-08T02:32:02+00:00

Currently, when writing

  echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max

/proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0.  That quickly
crashes the system.

This commit sets the max and min value for file-max.  The max value is
set to long int.  Any higher value cannot currently be used as the
percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers.

Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax().  This function does not report error when
min or max are exceeded.  Which means if a value largen that long int is
written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be
kept.  There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min
or max value are exceeded.  However this has the potential to break
userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch.

sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_long

2019-03-08T02:32:02+00:00

proc_get_long() is a funny function.  It uses simple_strtoul() and for a
good reason.  proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and
return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check
against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values.  However,
simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny
things like the following to happen:

  echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  0

(Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.)

On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not
return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything
other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to
be more lenient.

Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static
parse strtoul_lenient() which:
 - fails on overflow with -ERANGE
 - returns the trailing characters to the caller

The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial
fail on overflow right now.  Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded.  So
we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but
accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are
overflows.  So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not
special-case this based on the number of chars.

bpf: fix sysctl.c warning

2019-03-07T09:28:26+00:00

When CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL or CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled, we get
a warning about an unused function:

kernel/sysctl.c:3331:12: error: 'proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_stats' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
 static int proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_stats(struct ctl_table *table, int write,

The CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL check was already handled, but the SYSCTL check
is needed on top.

mm: remove sysctl_extfrag_handler()

2019-03-06T05:07:15+00:00

sysctl_extfrag_handler() neglects to propagate the return value from
proc_dointvec_minmax() to its caller.  It's a wrapper that doesn't need
to exist, so just use proc_dointvec_minmax() directly.
