Linus Torvalds e64ab2dbd8 watch_queue: Fix missing locking in add_watch_to_object()
If a watch is being added to a queue, it needs to guard against
interference from addition of a new watch, manual removal of a watch and
removal of a watch due to some other queue being destroyed.

KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY guards against this for the same {key,queue} pair by
holding the key->sem writelocked and by holding refs on both the key and
the queue - but that doesn't prevent interaction from other {key,queue}
pairs.

While add_watch_to_object() does take the spinlock on the event queue,
it doesn't take the lock on the source's watch list.  The assumption was
that the caller would prevent that (say by taking key->sem) - but that
doesn't prevent interference from the destruction of another queue.

Fix this by locking the watcher list in add_watch_to_object().

David Howells e0339f036e watch_queue: Fix missing rcu annotation
Since __post_watch_notification() walks wlist->watchers with only the
RCU read lock held, we need to use RCU methods to add to the list (we
already use RCU methods to remove from the list).

Fix add_watch_to_object() to use hlist_add_head_rcu() instead of
hlist_add_head() for that list.

Linus Torvalds 44e29e64cf watch-queue: remove spurious double semicolon
Sedat Dilek noticed that I had an extraneous semicolon at the end of a
line in the previous patch.

It's harmless, but unintentional, and while compilers just treat it as
an extra empty statement, for all I know some other tooling might warn
about it. So clean it up before other people notice too ;)

Linus Torvalds 353f7988dd watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly
When the pipe is closed, we mark the associated watchqueue defunct by
calling watch_queue_clear().  However, while that is protected by the
watchqueue lock, new watchqueue entries aren't actually added under that
lock at all: they use the pipe->rd_wait.lock instead, and looking up
that pipe happens without any locking.

The watchqueue code uses the RCU read-side section to make sure that the
wqueue entry itself hasn't disappeared, but that does not protect the
pipe_info in any way.

So make sure to actually hold the wqueue lock when posting watch events,
properly serializing against the pipe being torn down.

preventing new additions as well as preventing notifications.  Whilst

David Howells 2ed147f015 watch_queue: Fix lack of barrier/sync/lock between post and read
There's nothing to synchronise post_one_notification() versus
pipe_read().  Whilst posting is done under pipe->rd_wait.lock, the
reader only takes pipe->mutex which cannot bar notification posting as
that may need to be made from contexts that cannot sleep.

Fix this by setting pipe->head with a barrier in post_one_notification()
and reading pipe->head with a barrier in pipe_read().

If that's not sufficient, the rd_wait.lock will need to be taken,
possibly in a ->confirm() op so that it only applies to notifications.
The lock would, however, have to be dropped before copy_page_to_iter()
is invoked.

David Howells 96a4d8912b watch_queue: Fix to always request a pow-of-2 pipe ring size
The pipe ring size must always be a power of 2 as the head and tail
pointers are masked off by AND'ing with the size of the ring - 1.
watch_queue_set_size(), however, lets you specify any number of notes
between 1 and 511.  This number is passed through to pipe_resize_ring()
without checking/forcing its alignment.

Fix this by rounding the number of slots required up to the nearest
power of two.  The request is meant to guarantee that at least that many
notifications can be generated before the queue is full, so rounding
down isn't an option, but, alternatively, it may be better to give an
error if we aren't allowed to allocate that much ring space.

David Howells c993ee0f9f watch_queue: Fix filter limit check
In watch_queue_set_filter(), there are a couple of places where we check
that the filter type value does not exceed what the type_filter bitmap
can hold.  One place calculates the number of bits by:

   if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * 8)

which is fine, but the second does:

   if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG)

which is not.  This can lead to a couple of out-of-bounds writes due to
a too-large type:

 (1) __set_bit() on wfilter->type_filter
 (2) Writing more elements in wfilter->filters[] than we allocated.

Fix this by just using the proper WATCH_TYPE__NR instead, which is the
number of types we actually know about.

The bug may cause an oops looking something like:

David Howells 29e44f4535 watch_queue: Limit the number of watches a user can hold
Impose a limit on the number of watches that a user can hold so that
they can't use this mechanism to fill up all the available memory.

This is done by putting a counter in user_struct that's incremented when
a watch is allocated and decreased when it is released.  If the number
exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the watch is rejected with EAGAIN.

This can be tested by the following means:

 (1) Create a watch queue and attach it to fd 5 in the program given - in
     this case, bash:

	keyctl watch_session /tmp/nlog /tmp/gclog 5 bash

 (2) In the shell, set the maximum number of files to, say, 99:

	ulimit -n 99

 (3) Add 200 keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl newring a$i @s || break; done

 (4) Try to watch all of the keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do echo $i; keyctl watch_add 5 %:a$i || break; done

     This should fail when the number of watches belonging to the user hits
     99.

 (5) Remove all the keyrings and all of those watches should go away:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl unlink %:a$i; done

 (6) Kill off the watch queue by exiting the shell spawned by
     watch_session.

Pull notification queue from David Howells:
 "This adds a general notification queue concept and adds an event
  source for keys/keyrings, such as linking and unlinking keys and
  changing their attributes.

  Thanks to Debarshi Ray, we do have a pull request to use this to fix a
  problem with gnome-online-accounts - as mentioned last time:

     https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/merge_requests/47

  Without this, g-o-a has to constantly poll a keyring-based kerberos
  cache to find out if kinit has changed anything.

  [ There are other notification pending: mount/sb fsinfo notifications
    for libmount that Karel Zak and Ian Kent have been working on, and
    Christian Brauner would like to use them in lxc, but let's see how
    this one works first ]

  LSM hooks are included:

   - A set of hooks are provided that allow an LSM to rule on whether or
     not a watch may be set. Each of these hooks takes a different
     "watched object" parameter, so they're not really shareable. The
     LSM should use current's credentials. [Wanted by SELinux & Smack]

   - A hook is provided to allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a
     particular message may be posted to a particular queue. This is
     given the credentials from the event generator (which may be the
     system) and the watch setter. [Wanted by Smack]

  I've provided SELinux and Smack with implementations of some of these
  hooks.

  WHY
  ===

  Key/keyring notifications are desirable because if you have your
  kerberos tickets in a file/directory, your Gnome desktop will monitor
  that using something like fanotify and tell you if your credentials
  cache changes.

  However, we also have the ability to cache your kerberos tickets in
  the session, user or persistent keyring so that it isn't left around
  on disk across a reboot or logout. Keyrings, however, cannot currently
  be monitored asynchronously, so the desktop has to poll for it - not
  so good on a laptop. This facility will allow the desktop to avoid the
  need to poll.

  DESIGN DECISIONS
  ================

   - The notification queue is built on top of a standard pipe. Messages
     are effectively spliced in. The pipe is opened with a special flag:

        pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);

     The special flag has the same value as O_EXCL (which doesn't seem
     like it will ever be applicable in this context)[?]. It is given up
     front to make it a lot easier to prohibit splice&co from accessing
     the pipe.

     [?] Should this be done some other way?  I'd rather not use up a new
         O_* flag if I can avoid it - should I add a pipe3() system call
         instead?

     The pipe is then configured::

        ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth);
        ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);

     Messages are then read out of the pipe using read().

   - It should be possible to allow write() to insert data into the
     notification pipes too, but this is currently disabled as the
     kernel has to be able to insert messages into the pipe *without*
     holding pipe->mutex and the code to make this work needs careful
     auditing.

   - sendfile(), splice() and vmsplice() are disabled on notification
     pipes because of the pipe->mutex issue and also because they
     sometimes want to revert what they just did - but one or more
     notification messages might've been interleaved in the ring.

   - The kernel inserts messages with the wait queue spinlock held. This
     means that pipe_read() and pipe_write() have to take the spinlock
     to update the queue pointers.

   - Records in the buffer are binary, typed and have a length so that
     they can be of varying size.

     This allows multiple heterogeneous sources to share a common
     buffer; there are 16 million types available, of which I've used
     just a few, so there is scope for others to be used. Tags may be
     specified when a watchpoint is created to help distinguish the
     sources.

   - Records are filterable as types have up to 256 subtypes that can be
     individually filtered. Other filtration is also available.

   - Notification pipes don't interfere with each other; each may be
     bound to a different set of watches. Any particular notification
     will be copied to all the queues that are currently watching for it
     - and only those that are watching for it.

   - When recording a notification, the kernel will not sleep, but will
     rather mark a queue as having lost a message if there's
     insufficient space. read() will fabricate a loss notification
     message at an appropriate point later.

   - The notification pipe is created and then watchpoints are attached
     to it, using one of:

        keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);
        watch_mount(AT_FDCWD, "/", 0, fd, 0x02);
        watch_sb(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", 0, fd, 0x03);

     where in both cases, fd indicates the queue and the number after is
     a tag between 0 and 255.

   - Watches are removed if either the notification pipe is destroyed or
     the watched object is destroyed. In the latter case, a message will
     be generated indicating the enforced watch removal.

  Things I want to avoid:

   - Introducing features that make the core VFS dependent on the
     network stack or networking namespaces (ie. usage of netlink).

   - Dumping all this stuff into dmesg and having a daemon that sits
     there parsing the output and distributing it as this then puts the
     responsibility for security into userspace and makes handling
     namespaces tricky. Further, dmesg might not exist or might be
     inaccessible inside a container.

   - Letting users see events they shouldn't be able to see.

  TESTING AND MANPAGES
  ====================

   - The keyutils tree has a pipe-watch branch that has keyctl commands
     for making use of notifications. Proposed manual pages can also be
     found on this branch, though a couple of them really need to go to
     the main manpages repository instead.

     If the kernel supports the watching of keys, then running "make
     test" on that branch will cause the testing infrastructure to spawn
     a monitoring process on the side that monitors a notifications pipe
     for all the key/keyring changes induced by the tests and they'll
     all be checked off to make sure they happened.

        https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log/?h=pipe-watch

   - A test program is provided (samples/watch_queue/watch_test) that
     can be used to monitor for keyrings, mount and superblock events.
     Information on the notifications is simply logged to stdout"

David Howells e7d553d69c pipe: Add notification lossage handling
Add handling for loss of notifications by having read() insert a
loss-notification message after it has read the pipe buffer that was last
in the ring when the loss occurred.

Lossage can come about either by running out of notification descriptors or
by running out of space in the pipe ring.

David Howells 8cfba76383 pipe: Allow buffers to be marked read-whole-or-error for notifications
Allow a buffer to be marked such that read() must return the entire buffer
in one go or return ENOBUFS.  Multiple buffers can be amalgamated into a
single read, but a short read will occur if the next "whole" buffer won't
fit.

This is useful for watch queue notifications to make sure we don't split a
notification across multiple reads, especially given that we need to
fabricate an overrun record under some circumstances - and that isn't in
the buffers.

David Howells c73be61ced pipe: Add general notification queue support
Make it possible to have a general notification queue built on top of a
standard pipe.  Notifications are 'spliced' into the pipe and then read
out.  splice(), vmsplice() and sendfile() are forbidden on pipes used for
notifications as post_one_notification() cannot take pipe->mutex.  This
means that notifications could be posted in between individual pipe
buffers, making iov_iter_revert() difficult to effect.

The way the notification queue is used is:

 (1) An application opens a pipe with a special flag and indicates the
     number of messages it wishes to be able to queue at once (this can
     only be set once):

	pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
	ioctl(fds[0], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth);

 (2) The application then uses poll() and read() as normal to extract data
     from the pipe.  read() will return multiple notifications if the
     buffer is big enough, but it will not split a notification across
     buffers - rather it will return a short read or EMSGSIZE.

     Notification messages include a length in the header so that the
     caller can split them up.

Each message has a header that describes it:

	struct watch_notification {
		__u32	type:24;
		__u32	subtype:8;
		__u32	info;
	};

The type indicates the source (eg. mount tree changes, superblock events,
keyring changes, block layer events) and the subtype indicates the event
type (eg. mount, unmount; EIO, EDQUOT; link, unlink).  The info field
indicates a number of things, including the entry length, an ID assigned to
a watchpoint contributing to this buffer and type-specific flags.

Supplementary data, such as the key ID that generated an event, can be
attached in additional slots.  The maximum message size is 127 bytes.
Messages may not be padded or aligned, so there is no guarantee, for
example, that the notification type will be on a 4-byte bounary.
