iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY Add an iterator, ITER_XARRAY, that walks through a set of pages attached to an xarray, starting at a given page and offset and walking for the specified amount of bytes. The iterator supports transparent huge pages. The iterate_xarray() macro calls the helper function with rcu_access() helped. I think that this is only a problem for iov_iter_for_each_range() - and that returns an error for ITER_XARRAY (also, this function does not appear to be called). The caller must guarantee that the pages are all present and they must be locked using PG_locked, PG_writeback or PG_fscache to prevent them from going away or being migrated whilst they're being accessed. This is useful for copying data from socket buffers to inodes in network filesystems and for transferring data between those inodes and the cache using direct I/O. Whilst it is true that ITER_BVEC could be used instead, that would require a bio_vec array to be allocated to refer to all the pages - which should be redundant if inode->i_pages also points to all these pages. Note that older versions of this patch implemented an ITER_MAPPING instead, which was almost the same. Changes: v7: - Rename iter_xarray_copy_pages() to iter_xarray_populate_pages()[1].

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ITER_PIPE: cache the type of last buffer We often need to find whether the last buffer is anon or not, and currently it's rather clumsy: check if ->iov_offset is non-zero (i.e. that pipe is not empty) if so, get the corresponding pipe_buffer and check its ->ops if it's &default_pipe_buf_ops, we have an anon buffer. Let's replace the use of ->iov_offset (which is nowhere near similar to its role for other flavours) with signed field (->last_offset), with the following rules: empty, no buffers occupied: 0 anon, with bytes up to N-1 filled: N zero-copy, with bytes up to N-1 filled: -N That way abs(i->last_offset) is equal to what used to be in i->iov_offset and empty vs. anon vs. zero-copy can be distinguished by the sign of i->last_offset. Checks for "should we extend the last buffer or should we start a new one?" become easier to follow that way. Note that most of the operations can only be done in a sane state - i.e. when the pipe has nothing past the current position of iterator. About the only thing that could be done outside of that state is iov_iter_advance(), which transitions to the sane state by truncating the pipe. There are only two cases where we leave the sane state: 1) iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(). Will be dealt with later, when we make get_pages advancing - the callers are actually happier that way. 2) iov_iter copied, then something is put into the copy. Since they share the underlying pipe, the original gets behind. When we decide that we are done with the copy (original is not usable until then) we advance the original. direct_io used to be done that way; nowadays it operates on the original and we do iov_iter_revert() to discard the excessive data. At the moment there's nothing in the kernel that could do that to ITER_PIPE iterators, so this reason for insane state is theoretical right now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operations The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer (non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync() to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn around and fence previous writes with an "sfence". Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h + arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache() and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy() otherwise. This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with the rest of the uaccess code [2]. The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Merge branch 'uaccess-work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro: "This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile. For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks, basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(), object size and KASAN. - access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up. However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual copyin/copyout. - might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything - in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout. It's not quite what we need to check (in particular, combination of iovec-backed and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is almost certainly a bug, not a cause to skip checks), but that's for later series. For now let's keep might_fault(). - KASAN checks belong in copyin/copyout - at the same level where other iov_iter flavours would've hit them in memcpy(). - object size checks should apply to *all* iov_iter flavours, not just iovec-backed ones. There are two groups of primitives - one gets the kernel object described as pointer + size (copy_to_iter(), etc.) while another gets it as page + offset + size (copy_page_to_iter(), etc.) For the first group the checks are best done where we actually have a chance to find the object size. In other words, those belong in inline wrappers in uio.h, before calling into iov_iter.c. Same kind as we have for inlined part of copy_to_user(). For the second group there is no object to look at - offset in page is just a number, it bears no type information. So we do them in the common helper called by iov_iter.c primitives of that kind. All it currently does is checking that we are not trying to access outside of the compound page; eventually we might want to add some sanity checks on the page involved. So the things we need in copyin/copyout part of iov_iter.c do not quite match anything in uaccess.h (we want no zeroing, we *do* want access_ok() and KASAN and we want no might_fault() or object size checks done on that level).

x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operations The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer (non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync() to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn around and fence previous writes with an "sfence". Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h + arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache() and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy() otherwise. This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with the rest of the uaccess code [2]. The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Merge branch 'uaccess-work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro: "This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile. For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks, basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(), object size and KASAN. - access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up. However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual copyin/copyout. - might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything - in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout.

ITER_PIPE: cache the type of last buffer We often need to find whether the last buffer is anon or not, and currently it's rather clumsy: check if ->iov_offset is non-zero (i.e. that pipe is not empty) if so, get the corresponding pipe_buffer and check its ->ops if it's &default_pipe_buf_ops, we have an anon buffer. Let's replace the use of ->iov_offset (which is nowhere near similar to its role for other flavours) with signed field (->last_offset), with the following rules: empty, no buffers occupied: 0 anon, with bytes up to N-1 filled: N zero-copy, with bytes up to N-1 filled: -N That way abs(i->last_offset) is equal to what used to be in i->iov_offset and empty vs. anon vs. zero-copy can be distinguished by the sign of i->last_offset. Checks for "should we extend the last buffer or should we start a new one?" become easier to follow that way. Note that most of the operations can only be done in a sane state - i.e. when the pipe has nothing past the current position of iterator. About the only thing that could be done outside of that state is iov_iter_advance(), which transitions to the sane state by truncating the pipe. There are only two cases where we leave the sane state: 1) iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(). Will be dealt with later, when we make get_pages advancing - the callers are actually happier that way. 2) iov_iter copied, then something is put into the copy. Since they share the underlying pipe, the original gets behind. When we decide that we are done with the copy (original is not usable until then) we advance the original. direct_io used to be done that way; nowadays it operates on the original and we do iov_iter_revert() to discard the excessive data. At the moment there's nothing in the kernel that could do that to ITER_PIPE iterators, so this reason for insane state is theoretical right now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY Add an iterator, ITER_XARRAY, that walks through a set of pages attached to an xarray, starting at a given page and offset and walking for the specified amount of bytes. The iterator supports transparent huge pages. The iterate_xarray() macro calls the helper function with rcu_access() helped. I think that this is only a problem for iov_iter_for_each_range() - and that returns an error for ITER_XARRAY (also, this function does not appear to be called). The caller must guarantee that the pages are all present and they must be locked using PG_locked, PG_writeback or PG_fscache to prevent them from going away or being migrated whilst they're being accessed. This is useful for copying data from socket buffers to inodes in network filesystems and for transferring data between those inodes and the cache using direct I/O.

ITER_PIPE: cache the type of last buffer We often need to find whether the last buffer is anon or not, and currently it's rather clumsy: check if ->iov_offset is non-zero (i.e. that pipe is not empty) if so, get the corresponding pipe_buffer and check its ->ops if it's &default_pipe_buf_ops, we have an anon buffer. Let's replace the use of ->iov_offset (which is nowhere near similar to its role for other flavours) with signed field (->last_offset), with the following rules: empty, no buffers occupied: 0 anon, with bytes up to N-1 filled: N zero-copy, with bytes up to N-1 filled: -N That way abs(i->last_offset) is equal to what used to be in i->iov_offset and empty vs. anon vs. zero-copy can be distinguished by the sign of i->last_offset. Checks for "should we extend the last buffer or should we start a new one?" become easier to follow that way. Note that most of the operations can only be done in a sane state - i.e. when the pipe has nothing past the current position of iterator. About the only thing that could be done outside of that state is iov_iter_advance(), which transitions to the sane state by truncating the pipe. There are only two cases where we leave the sane state: 1) iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(). Will be dealt with later, when we make get_pages advancing - the callers are actually happier that way. 2) iov_iter copied, then something is put into the copy. Since they share the underlying pipe, the original gets behind. When we decide that we are done with the copy (original is not usable until then) we advance the original. direct_io used to be done that way; nowadays it operates on the original and we do iov_iter_revert() to discard the excessive data. At the moment there's nothing in the kernel that could do that to ITER_PIPE iterators, so this reason for insane state is theoretical right now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY Add an iterator, ITER_XARRAY, that walks through a set of pages attached to an xarray, starting at a given page and offset and walking for the specified amount of bytes. The iterator supports transparent huge pages. The iterate_xarray() macro calls the helper function with rcu_access() helped. I think that this is only a problem for iov_iter_for_each_range() - and that returns an error for ITER_XARRAY (also, this function does not appear to be called). The caller must guarantee that the pages are all present and they must be locked using PG_locked, PG_writeback or PG_fscache to prevent them from going away or being migrated whilst they're being accessed. This is useful for copying data from socket buffers to inodes in network filesystems and for transferring data between those inodes and the cache using direct I/O. Whilst it is true that ITER_BVEC could be used instead, that would require a bio_vec array to be allocated to refer to all the pages - which should be redundant if inode->i_pages also points to all these pages.

iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY Add an iterator, ITER_XARRAY, that walks through a set of pages attached to an xarray, starting at a given page and offset and walking for the specified amount of bytes. The iterator supports transparent huge pages. The iterate_xarray() macro calls the helper function with rcu_access() helped. I think that this is only a problem for iov_iter_for_each_range() - and that returns an error for ITER_XARRAY (also, this function does not appear to be called). The caller must guarantee that the pages are all present and they must be locked using PG_locked, PG_writeback or PG_fscache to prevent them from going away or being migrated whilst they're being accessed. This is useful for copying data from socket buffers to inodes in network filesystems and for transferring data between those inodes and the cache using direct I/O. Whilst it is true that ITER_BVEC could be used instead, that would require a bio_vec array to be allocated to refer to all the pages - which should be redundant if inode->i_pages also points to all these pages.

saner iov_iter initialization primitives iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties: * no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array * total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT * all ranges pass access_ok(). The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole. We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer) if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter. That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec(). Calling conventions: iovec = iov_array; err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs, ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec, &iter); imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec. On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated. compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec; otherwise it's identical to import_iovec(). Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec covering a user-supplied range - err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter); does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets silently truncated. Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
