usermodehelper: reset umask to default before executing user process

2020-10-06T17:31:52+00:00

Kernel threads intentionally do CLONE_FS in order to follow any changes
that 'init' does to set up the root directory (or cwd).

It is admittedly a bit odd, but it avoids the situation where 'init'
does some extensive setup to initialize the system environment, and then
we execute a usermode helper program, and it uses the original FS setup
from boot time that may be very limited and incomplete.

[ Both Al Viro and Eric Biederman point out that 'pivot_root()' will
  follow the root regardless, since it fixes up other users of root (see
  chroot_fs_refs() for details), but overmounting root and doing a
  chroot() would not. ]

However, Vegard Nossum noticed that the CLONE_FS not only means that we
follow the root and current working directories, it also means we share
umask with whatever init changed it to. That wasn't intentional.

Just reset umask to the original default (0022) before actually starting
the usermode helper program.

kernel: add a kernel_wait helper

2020-08-12T17:57:59+00:00

Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in
kernel pointer.  Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in
call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the
implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.

exec: Implement kernel_execve

2020-07-21T13:24:52+00:00

To allow the kernel not to play games with set_fs to call exec
implement kernel_execve.  The function kernel_execve takes pointers
into kernel memory and copies the values pointed to onto the new
userspace stack.

The calls with arguments from kernel space of do_execve are replaced
with calls to kernel_execve.

The calls do_execve and do_execveat are made static as there are now
no callers outside of exec.

The comments that mention do_execve are updated to refer to
kernel_execve or execve depending on the circumstances.  In addition
to correcting the comments, this makes it easy to grep for do_execve
and verify it is not used.

umh: Stop calling do_execve_file

2020-07-04T14:35:36+00:00

With the user mode driver code changed to not set subprocess_info.file
there are no more users of subproces_info.file.  Remove this field
from struct subprocess_info and remove the only user in
call_usermodehelper_exec_async that would call do_execve_file instead
of do_execve if file was set.

umh: Separate the user mode driver and the user mode helper support

2020-07-04T14:34:32+00:00

This makes it clear which code is part of the core user mode
helper support and which code is needed to implement user mode
drivers.

This makes the kernel smaller for everyone who does not use a usermode
driver.

umh: Remove call_usermodehelper_setup_file.

2020-07-04T14:34:26+00:00

The only caller of call_usermodehelper_setup_file is fork_usermode_blob.
In fork_usermode_blob replace call_usermodehelper_setup_file with
call_usermodehelper_setup and delete fork_usermodehelper_setup_file.

For this to work the argv_free is moved from umh_clean_and_save_pid
to fork_usermode_blob.

umh: Rename the user mode driver helpers for clarity

2020-07-04T14:34:18+00:00

Now that the functionality of umh_setup_pipe and
umh_clean_and_save_pid has changed their names are too specific and
don't make much sense.  Instead name them  umd_setup and umd_cleanup
for the functional role in setting up user mode drivers.

umh: Move setting PF_UMH into umh_pipe_setup

2020-07-04T14:34:06+00:00

I am separating the code specific to user mode drivers from the code
for ordinary user space helpers.  Move setting of PF_UMH from
call_usermodehelper_exec_async which is core user mode helper code
into umh_pipe_setup which is user mode driver code.

The code is equally as easy to write in one location as the other and
the movement minimizes the impact of the user mode driver code on the
core of the user mode helper code.

Setting PF_UMH unconditionally is harmless as an action will only
happen if it is paired with an entry on umh_list.

umh: Capture the pid in umh_pipe_setup

2020-07-04T14:33:40+00:00

The pid in struct subprocess_info is only used by umh_clean_and_save_pid to
write the pid into umh_info.

Instead always capture the pid on struct umh_info in umh_pipe_setup, removing
code that is specific to user mode drivers from the common user path of
user mode helpers.
