But # this might lead to scenarios where a start_time is recorded long before # a process becomes visible to user-space. For instance, with # userfaultfd(2) and TLS, user-space can delay the execution of fork(2) # for an indefinite amount of time (and will, if this causes network # access, or similar). # # By recording the start_time late, it much closer reflects the point in # time where the process becomes live and can be observed by other # processes. # # Lastly, this makes it much harder for user-space to predict and control # the start_time they get assigned. Previously, user-space could fork a # process and stall it in copy_thread_tls() before its pid is allocated, # but after its start_time is recorded. This can be misused to later-on # cycle through PIDs and resume the stalled fork(2) yielding a process # that has the same pid and start_time as a process that existed before. # This can be used to circumvent security systems that identify processes # by their pid+start_time combination. # # Even though user-space was always aware that start_time recording is # flaky (but several projects are known to still rely on start_time-based # identification), changing the start_time to be recorded late will help # mitigate existing attacks and make it much harder for user-space to # control the start_time a process gets assigned. # # Reported-by: Jann Horn # Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen # Signed-off-by: David Herrmann # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 7b55851367136b1efd84d98fea81ba57a98304cf # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- allmodconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-bob.dts:25.9-29.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-kevin.dts:46.9-50.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-sapphire-excavator.dts:94.9-98.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' In file included from /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/bug.h:18, from /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/include/asm/bug.h:37, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/bug.h:5, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mmdebug.h:5, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mm.h:9, from /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c:14: /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c: In function 'imxdma_sg_next': /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:846:29: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1))) ^~ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:860:4: note: in expansion of macro '__typecheck' (__typecheck(x, y) && __no_side_effects(x, y)) ^~~~~~~~~~~ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:870:24: note: in expansion of macro '__safe_cmp' __builtin_choose_expr(__safe_cmp(x, y), \ ^~~~~~~~~~ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:879:19: note: in expansion of macro '__careful_cmp' #define min(x, y) __careful_cmp(x, y, <) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c:288:8: note: in expansion of macro 'min' now = min(d->len, sg_dma_len(sg)); ^~~ Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc8 # Build took: 0:30:41.479711
