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.Reported-by: Vegard Nossum

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

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.Inspired-by: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200627072704.2447163-1-hch@lst.de

If a UMH process created by fork_usermode_blob() fails to execute,
a pair of struct file allocated by umh_pipe_setup() will leak.Under normal conditions, the caller (like bpfilter) needs to manage the
lifetime of the UMH and its two pipes. But when fork_usermode_blob()
fails, the caller doesn't really have a way to know what needs to be
done. It seems better to do the cleanup ourselves in this case.Fixes: 449325b52b7a ("umh: introduce fork_usermode_blob() helper")

Commit 64e90a8acb859 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()") added the optiont to disable all
call_usermodehelper() calls by setting STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to
an empty string. When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it
will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions
over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did.This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump
with the following configuration:```
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH=""
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e
```The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec()
would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes
certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls
ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.[ 2.819676] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as
bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is
terminated.
But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module
which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is
terminated or not.
But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of
UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex.The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes.
The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info.
Hence umh_info->cleanup callback should release both members of the
umh_info and the private data.Suggested-by: David S. Miller

User mode helpers were spawned without a command line, and because
an empty command line is used by many tools to identify processes as
kernel threads, this could cause some issues.Notably during killing spree on shutdown, since such helper would then
be skipped (i.e. not killed) which would result in the process remaining
alive, and thus preventing unmouting of the rootfs (as experienced with
the bpfilter umh).Fixes: 449325b52b7a ("umh: introduce fork_usermode_blob() helper")

Introduce helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};that GPLed kernel modules (signed or unsigned) can use it to execute part
of its own data as swappable user mode process.The kernel will do:
- allocate a unique file in tmpfs
- populate that file with [data, data + len] bytes
- user-mode-helper code will do_execve that file and, before the process
starts, the kernel will create two unix pipes for bidirectional
communication between kernel module and umh
- close tmpfs file, effectively deleting it
- the fork_usermode_blob will return zero on success and populate
'struct umh_info' with two unix pipes and the pid of the user processAs the first step in the development of the bpfilter project
the fork_usermode_blob() helper is introduced to allow user mode code
to be invoked from a kernel module. The idea is that user mode code plus
normal kernel module code are built as part of the kernel build
and installed as traditional kernel module into distro specified location,
such that from a distribution point of view, there is
no difference between regular kernel modules and kernel modules + umh code.
Such modules can be signed, modprobed, rmmod, etc. The use of this new helper
by a kernel module doesn't make it any special from kernel and user space
tooling point of view.Such approach enables kernel to delegate functionality traditionally done
by the kernel modules into the user space processes (either root or !root) and
reduces security attack surface of the new code. The buggy umh code would crash
the user process, but not the kernel. Another advantage is that umh code
of the kernel module can be debugged and tested out of user space
(e.g. opening the possibility to run clang sanitizers, fuzzers or
user space test suites on the umh code).
In case of the bpfilter project such architecture allows complex control plane
to be done in the user space while bpf based data plane stays in the kernel.Since umh can crash, can be oom-ed by the kernel, killed by the admin,
the kernel module that uses them (like bpfilter) needs to manage life
time of umh on its own via two unix pipes and the pid of umh.The exit code of such kernel module should kill the umh it started,
so that rmmod of the kernel module will cleanup the corresponding umh.
Just like if the kernel module does kmalloc() it should kfree() it
in the exit code.Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is
no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use
kernel_wait4() directly.This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Patch series "kmod: few code cleanups to split out umh code"
The usermode helper has a provenance from the old usb code which first
required a usermode helper. Eventually this was shoved into kmod.c and
the kernel's modprobe calls was converted over eventually to share the
same code. Over time the list of usermode helpers in the kernel has grown
-- so kmod is just but one user of the API.This series is a simple logical cleanup which acknowledges the code
evolution of the usermode helper and shoves the UMH API into its own
dedicated file. This way users of the API can later just include umh.h
instead of kmod.h.Note despite the diff state the first patch really is just a code shove,
no functional changes are done there. I did use git format-patch -M to
generate the patch, but in the end the split was not enough for git to
consider it a rename hence the large diffstat.I've put this through 0-day and it gives me their machine compilation
