Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
  time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
  directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
  with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
  filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
  maintainers.

  Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
  are just a few:

   - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
     multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
     scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
     implementation of portable home directories in
     systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
     directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
     computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
     effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
     login time.

   - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
     containers without having to change ownership permanently through
     chown(2).

   - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
     mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
     user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
     Linux subsystem.

   - It is possible to share files between containers with
     non-overlapping idmappings.

   - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
     use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
     permission checking.

   - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
     basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
     contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
     instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
     ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
     container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
     mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
     all files.

   - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
     idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
     to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
     take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
     simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
     especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
     files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
     directory and container and vm scenario.

   - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
     to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
     apply as long as the mount exists.

  Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
  pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
  this:

   - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
     in their implementation of portable home directories.

         https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/

   - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
     host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
     containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
     containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
     a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734

   - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
     in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
     ported.

   - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.

  I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
  here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
  mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
  talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:

      https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
      https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/

  This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
  xfs:

      https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts

  It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
  execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
  non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
  setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
  be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
  merge this.

  In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
  user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
  map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
  By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
  The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
  idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
  testsuite.

  Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
  and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
  the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
  introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
  the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
  to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
  whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
  currently marked with.

  The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
  passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
  argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
  MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
  of extensibility.

  The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
  mount:

   - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
     user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.

   - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.

   - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
     idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.

   - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
     been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
     and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.

  The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
  kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.

  By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
  behavioral or performance changes are observed.

  The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:

      1d7b902e28

  In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
  and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
  patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
  complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
  xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
  will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
  that port has been done correctly.

  The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
  mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
  valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
  mounts based on file descriptors only.

  Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
  RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
  we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
  path resolution.

  While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
  proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
  possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
  the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.

  With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
  restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
  covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
  crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
  tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
  syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
  projects.

  There is a simple tool available at

      https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped

  that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
  patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
  decide to pull this in the following weeks:

eacd9aa8ce fix handling of nd->depth on LOOKUP_CACHED failures in try_to_unlazy*
After switching to non-RCU mode, we want nd->depth to match the number
of entries in nd->stack[] that need eventual path_put().
legitimize_links() takes care of that on failures; unfortunately,
failure exits added for LOOKUP_CACHED do not.

We could add the logics for that into those failure exits, both in
try_to_unlazy() and in try_to_unlazy_next(), but since both checks
are immediately followed by legitimize_links() and there's no calls
of legitimize_links() other than those two...  It's easier to
move the check (and required handling of nd->depth on failure) into
legitimize_links() itself.

[caught by Jens: ... and since we are zeroing ->depth here, we need
to do drop_links() first]

ima: handle idmapped mounts
IMA does sometimes access the inode's i_uid and compares it against the
rules' fowner. Enable IMA to handle idmapped mounts by passing down the
mount's user namespace. We simply make use of the helpers we introduced
before. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so
non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

capability: handle idmapped mounts
In order to determine whether a caller holds privilege over a given
inode the capability framework exposes the two helpers
privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(). The former
verifies that the inode has a mapping in the caller's user namespace and
the latter additionally verifies that the caller has the requested
capability in their current user namespace.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped inodes. If the initial user namespace is passed all
operations are a nop so non-idmapped mounts will not see a change in

io_uring always punts opens to async context, since there's no control
over whether the lookup blocks or not. Add LOOKUP_CACHED to support
just doing the fast RCU based lookups, which we know will not block. If
we can do a cached path resolution of the filename, then we don't have
to always punt lookups for a worker.

During path resolution, we always do LOOKUP_RCU first. If that fails and
we terminate LOOKUP_RCU, then fail a LOOKUP_CACHED attempt as well.

			status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd->flags);

If the status of the d_revalidate() is greater than zero, then the function
finishes. Otherwise, if it is an "unlazy_child" it returns with -ECHILD.
After the above two checks, the status is compared to -ECHILD, as that is
what is returned if the original d_revalidate() needed to be done in a
non-rcu mode.

Especially this path is called in a condition of:

	if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU) {

And most of the d_revalidate() functions have:

	if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
		return -ECHILD;

It appears that that is the only case that this if statement is triggered
on two of my machines, running in production.

As it is dependent on what filesystem mix is configured in the running
kernel, simply remove the unlikely() from the if statement.

dab741e0e0 Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.
For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks
when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the
existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD
variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long
time with equivalent implementations.

Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with
the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so
user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow
them explicitly.

Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged
writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an
unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is
thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with
untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

Patch series "Fix S_ISDIR execve() errno".

Fix an errno change for execve() of directories, noticed by Marc Zyngier.
Along with the fix, include a regression test to avoid seeing this return
in the future.

This patch (of 2):

The return code for attempting to execute a directory has always been
EACCES.  Adjust the S_ISDIR exec test to reflect the old errno instead of
the general EISDIR for other kinds of "open" attempts on directories.

0fd338b2d2 exec: move path_noexec() check earlier
The path_noexec() check, like the regular file check, was happening too
late, letting LSMs see impossible execve()s.  Check it earlier as well in

633fb6ac39 exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier
The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files.
Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to
execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late.  This was
fixed in commit 73601ea5b7 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files
during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already
run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular
files.

Move the test into the other inode type checks (which already look for
other pathological conditions[1]).  Since there is no need to use
FMODE_EXEC while we still have access to "acc_mode", also switch the test
to MAY_EXEC.

Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of
execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes.

My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc:

do_open_execat()
    struct open_flags open_exec_flags = {
        .open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC,

63d72b93f2 vfs: clean up posix_acl_permission() logic aroudn MAY_NOT_BLOCK
posix_acl_permission() does not care about MAY_NOT_BLOCK, and in fact
the permission logic internally must not check that bit (it's only for
upper layers to decide whether they can block to do IO to look up the
acl information or not).

But the way the code was written, it _looked_ like it cared, since the
function explicitly did not mask that bit off.

But it has exactly two callers: one for when that bit is set, which
first clears the bit before calling posix_acl_permission(), and the
other call site when that bit was clear.

So stop the silly games "saving" the MAY_NOT_BLOCK bit that must not be
used for the actual permission test, and that currently is pointlessly
cleared by the callers when the function itself should just not care.

5fc475b749 vfs: do not do group lookup when not necessary
Rasmus Villemoes points out that the 'in_group_p()' tests can be a
noticeable expense, and often completely unnecessary.  A common
situation is that the 'group' bits are the same as the 'other' bits
wrt the permissions we want to test.

So rewrite 'acl_permission_check()' to not bother checking for group
ownership when the permission check doesn't care.

For example, if we're asking for read permissions, and both 'group' and
'other' allow reading, there's really no reason to check if we're part
of the group or not: either way, we'll allow it.

Rasmus says:
 "On a bog-standard Ubuntu 20.04 install, a workload consisting of
  compiling lots of userspace programs (i.e., calling lots of
  short-lived programs that all need to get their shared libs mapped in,
  and the compilers poking around looking for system headers - lots of
  /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/include/ accesses) puts in_group_p around
  0.1% according to perf top.

  System-installed files are almost always 0755 (directories and
  binaries) or 0644, so in most cases, we can avoid the binary search
  and the cost of pulling the cred->groups array and in_group_p() .text
  into the cpu cache"

a3c751a50f vfs: allow unprivileged whiteout creation
Whiteouts, unlike real device node should not require privileges to create.

The general concern with device nodes is that opening them can have side
effects.  The kernel already avoids zero major (see
Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt).  To be on the safe side the patch
explicitly forbids registering a char device with 0/0 number (see
cdev_add()).

This guarantees that a non-O_PATH open on a whiteout will fail with ENODEV;
i.e. it won't have any side effect.

99a4a90c8e lookup_open(): don't bother with fallbacks to lookup+create
We fall back to lookup+create (instead of atomic_open) in several cases:
	1) we don't have write access to filesystem and O_TRUNC is
present in the flags.  It's not something we want ->atomic_open() to
see - it just might go ahead and truncate the file.  However, we can
pass it the flags sans O_TRUNC - eventually do_open() will call
handle_truncate() anyway.
	2) we have O_CREAT | O_EXCL and we can't write to parent.
That's going to be an error, of course, but we want to know _which_
error should that be - might be EEXIST (if file exists), might be
EACCES or EROFS.  Simply stripping O_CREAT (and checking if we see
ENOENT) would suffice, if not for O_EXCL.  However, we used to have
->atomic_open() fully responsible for rejecting O_CREAT | O_EXCL
on existing file and just stripping O_CREAT would've disarmed
those checks.  With nothing downstream to catch the problem -
FMODE_OPENED used to be "don't bother with EEXIST checks,
->atomic_open() has done those".  Now EEXIST checks downstream
are skipped only if FMODE_CREATED is set - FMODE_OPENED alone
is not enough.  That has eliminated the need to fall back onto
lookup+create path in this case.
	3) O_WRONLY or O_RDWR when we have no write access to
filesystem, with nothing else objectionable.  Fallback is
(and had always been) pointless.

IOW, we don't really need that fallback; all we need in such
cases is to trim O_TRUNC and O_CREAT properly.

b94e0b32c8 open_last_lookups(): lift O_EXCL|O_CREAT handling into do_open()
Currently path_openat() has "EEXIST on O_EXCL|O_CREAT" checks done on one
of the ways out of open_last_lookups().  There are 4 cases:
	1) the last component is . or ..; check is not done.
	2) we had FMODE_OPENED or FMODE_CREATED set while in lookup_open();
check is not done.
	3) symlink to be traversed is found; check is not done (nor
should it be)
	4) everything else: check done (before complete_walk(), even).

In case (1) O_EXCL|O_CREAT ends up failing with -EISDIR - that's
	open("/tmp/.", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
Note that in the same conditions
	open("/tmp", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
would have yielded EEXIST.  Either error is allowed, switching to -EEXIST
in these cases would've been more consistent.

Case (2) is more subtle; first of all, if we have FMODE_CREATED set, the
object hadn't existed prior to the call.  The check should not be done in
such a case.  The rest is problematic, though - we have
	FMODE_OPENED set (i.e. it went through ->atomic_open() and got
successfully opened there)
	FMODE_CREATED is *NOT* set
	O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both set.
Any such case is a bug - either we failed to set FMODE_CREATED when we
had, in fact, created an object (no such instances in the tree) or
we have opened a pre-existing file despite having had both O_CREAT and
O_EXCL passed.  One of those was, in fact caught (and fixed) while
sorting out this mess (gfs2 on cold dcache).  And in such situations
we should fail with EEXIST.

Note that for (1) and (4) FMODE_CREATED is not set - for (1) there's nothing
in handle_dots() to set it, for (4) we'd explicitly checked that.

And (1), (2) and (4) are exactly the cases when we leave the loop in
the caller, with do_open() called immediately after that loop.  IOW, we
can move the check over there, and make it

	If we have O_CREAT|O_EXCL and after successful pathname resolution
FMODE_CREATED is *not* set, we must have run into a preexisting file and
should fail with EEXIST.

to follow, so we can bloody well leave the loop first.

Rename the rest of that thing from do_last() to do_open() and
make it return an int.

aef9404d8c pick_link(): more straightforward handling of allocation failures
pick_link() needs to push onto stack; we start with using two-element
array embedded into struct nameidata and the first time we need
more than that we switch to separately allocated array.

Allocation can fail, of course, and handling of that would be simple
enough - we need to drop 'link' and bugger off.  However, the things
get more complicated in RCU mode.  There we must do GFP_ATOMIC
allocation.  If that fails, we try to switch to non-RCU mode and
repeat the allocation.

To switch to non-RCU mode we need to grab references to 'link' and
to everything in nameidata.  The latter done by unlazy_walk();
the former - legitimize_path().  'link' must go first - after
unlazy_walk() we are out of RCU-critical period and it's too
late to call legitimize_path() since the references in link->mnt
and link->dentry might be pointing to freed and reused memory.

So we do legitimize_path(), then unlazy_walk().  And that's where
it gets too subtle: what to do if the former fails?  We MUST
do path_put(link) to avoid leaks.  And we can't do that under
rcu_read_lock().  Solution in mainline was to empty then nameidata
manually, drop out of RCU mode and then do put_path().

In effect, we open-code the things eventual terminate_walk()
would've done on error in RCU mode.  That looks badly out of place
and confusing.  We could add a comment along the lines of the
explanation above, but... there's a simpler solution.  Call
unlazy_walk() even if legitimaze_path() fails.  It will take
us out of RCU mode, so we'll be able to do path_put(link).

Yes, it will do unnecessary work - attempt to grab references
on the stuff in nameidata, only to have them dropped as soon
as we return the error to upper layer and get terminate_walk()
called there.  So what?  We are thoroughly off the fast path
by that point - we had GFP_ATOMIC allocation fail, we had
->d_seq or mount_lock mismatch and we are about to try walking
the same path from scratch in non-RCU mode.  Which will need
to do the same allocation, this time with GFP_KERNEL, so it will
be able to apply memory pressure for blocking stuff.

Compared to that the cost of several lockref_get_not_dead()
is noise.  And the logics become much easier to understand
that way.

84f0cd9e83 pick_link(): pass it struct path already with normal refcounting rules
step_into() tries to avoid grabbing and dropping mount references
on the steps that do not involve crossing mountpoints (which is
obviously the majority of cases).  So it uses a local struct path
with unusual refcounting rules - path.mnt is pinned if and only if
it's not equal to nd->path.mnt.

We used to have similar beasts all over the place and we had quite
a few bugs crop up in their handling - it's easy to get confused
when changing e.g. cleanup on failure exits (or adding a new check,
etc.)

Now that's mostly gone - the step_into() instance (which is what
we need them for) is the only one left.  It is exposed to mount
traversal and it's (shortly) seen by pick_link().  Since pick_link()
needs to store it in link stack, where the normal rules apply,
it has to make sure that mount is pinned regardless of nd->path.mnt
value.  That's done on all calls of pick_link() and very early
in those.  Let's do that in the caller (step_into()) instead -
that way the fewer places need to be aware of such struct path
instances.
