With the # first flag-based extension to clone3() making use of the upper 32 bits # of the flag argument we've effectively made it possible for the legacy # clone() syscall to reach clone3() only flags on accident. The sign # extension scenario is just the odd corner-case that we needed to # figure this out. # # The reason we just realized this now and not already when we # introduced CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND was that CLONE_INTO_CGROUP assumes that # a valid cgroup file descriptor has been given - whereas # CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND doesn't need to verify anything. It just silently # resets the signal handlers to SIG_DFL. # # So the sign extension (or the user accidently passing garbage for the # upper 32 bits) caused the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP bit to be raised and the # kernel to error out when it didn't find a valid cgroup file # descriptor. # # Note, I'm also capping kernel_thread()'s flag argument mainly because # none of the new features make sense for kernel_thread() and we # shouldn't risk them being accidently activated however unlikely. If we # wanted to, we could even make kernel_thread() yell when an unknown # flag has been set which it doesn't do right now. But it's not worth # risking this in a bugfix imho" # # * tag 'for-linus-2020-05-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: # fork: prevent accidental access to clone3 features # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8c1684bb81f173543599f1848c29a2a3b1ee5907 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_cm_x300_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- cm_x300_defconfig WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SND_SOC_WM9712 Depends on [n]: SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_SOC_AC97_BUS [=n] Selected by [m]: - SND_PXA2XX_SOC_EM_X270 [=m] && SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_PXA2XX_SOC [=m] && (MACH_EM_X270 [=n] || MACH_EXEDA [=n] || MACH_CM_X300 [=y]) && AC97_BUS [=n]=n WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SND_SOC_WM9712 Depends on [n]: SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_SOC_AC97_BUS [=n] Selected by [m]: - SND_PXA2XX_SOC_EM_X270 [=m] && SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_PXA2XX_SOC [=m] && (MACH_EM_X270 [=n] || MACH_EXEDA [=n] || MACH_CM_X300 [=y]) && AC97_BUS [=n]=n # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_cm_x300_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- help # make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_cm_x300_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- olddefconfig WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SND_SOC_WM9712 Depends on [n]: SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_SOC_AC97_BUS [=n] Selected by [m]: - SND_PXA2XX_SOC_EM_X270 [=m] && SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_PXA2XX_SOC [=m] && (MACH_EM_X270 [=n] || MACH_EXEDA [=n] || MACH_CM_X300 [=y]) && AC97_BUS [=n]=n WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SND_SOC_WM9712 Depends on [n]: SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_SOC_AC97_BUS [=n] Selected by [m]: - SND_PXA2XX_SOC_EM_X270 [=m] && SOUND [=m] && !UML && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_PXA2XX_SOC [=m] && (MACH_EM_X270 [=n] || MACH_EXEDA [=n] || MACH_CM_X300 [=y]) && AC97_BUS [=n]=n # make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_cm_x300_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_cm_x300_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:01:03.699456
