The idea is to check: a) the owning user_ns of cgroup_ns, b)
capabilities in init_user_ns.
The commit 24f6008564 ("cgroup-v1: Require capabilities to set
release_agent") got this wrong in the write handler of release_agent
since it checked user_ns of the opener (may be different from the owning
user_ns of cgroup_ns).
Secondly, to avoid possibly confused deputy, the capability of the
opener must be checked.

of->priv is currently used by each interface file implementation to store
private information. This patch collects the current two private data usages
into struct cgroup_file_ctx which is allocated and freed by the common path.
This allows generic private data which applies to multiple files, which will
be used to in the following patch.
Note that cgroup_procs iterator is now embedded as procs.iter in the new
cgroup_file_ctx so that it doesn't need to be allocated and freed
separately.
v2: union dropped from cgroup_file_ctx and the procs iterator is embedded in
cgroup_file_ctx as suggested by Linus.
v3: Michal pointed out that cgroup1's procs pidlist uses of->priv too.
Converted. Didn't change to embedded allocation as cgroup1 pidlists get

cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as
whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of
the write - the PID. This currently uses current's credentials which is a
potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less
privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that
it created.
This patch makes both cgroup2 and cgroup1 process migration interfaces to
use the credentials saved at the time of open (file->f_cred) instead of
current's.

On the real systems, the cgroups hierarchies are setup early and just
once by the node controller, so, other than number of cgroups, all
information in /proc/cgroups remain same for the system uptime. Let's
remove the cgroup_mutex usage on reading /proc/cgroups. There is a
chance of inconsistent number of cgroups for co-mounted cgroups while
printing the information from /proc/cgroups but that is not a big
issue. In addition /proc/cgroups is a v1 specific interface, so the
dependency on it should reduce over time.
The main motivation for removing the cgroup_mutex from /proc/cgroups is
to reduce the avenues of its contention. On our fleet, we have observed
buggy application hammering on /proc/cgroups and drastically slowing
down the node controller on the system which have many negative
consequences on other workloads running on the system.

Found an issue within cgroup_attach_task_all() fn which seem
to exclude cgrp_dfl_root (cgroupv2) while attaching tasks to
the given cgroup. This was noticed when the system was running
qemu/kvm with kernel vhost helper threads. It appears that the
vhost layer which uses cgroup_attach_task_all() fn to assign the
vhost kthread to the right qemu cgroup works fine with cgroupv1
based configuration but not in cgroupv2. With cgroupv2, the vhost
helper thread ends up just belonging to the root cgroup as is
shown below:
$ stat -fc %T /sys/fs/cgroup/

There were other less common instances of some kind of a general scribble
but the common theme was mount and cgroup and a dubious dentry triggering
the NULL dereference. I was only able to reproduce it under qemu by
replicating Richard's setup as closely as possible - I never did get it
to happen on bare metal, even while keeping everything else the same.
In commit 71d883c37e ("cgroup_do_mount(): massage calling conventions")
we see this as a part of the overall change:
--------------
struct cgroup_subsys *ss;
- struct dentry *dentry;
[...]
- dentry = cgroup_do_mount(&cgroup_fs_type, fc->sb_flags, root,
- CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
[...]
- if (percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
- struct super_block *sb = dentry->d_sb;
- dput(dentry);
+ ret = cgroup_do_mount(fc, CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
+ if (!ret && percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
+ struct super_block *sb = fc->root->d_sb;
+ dput(fc->root);
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
msleep(10);
return restart_syscall();
}
--------------
In changing from the local "*dentry" variable to using fc->root, we now
export/leave that dentry pointer in the file context after doing the dput()
in the unlikely "is_dying" case. With LTP doing a crazy amount of back to
back mount/unmount [testcases/bin/cgroup_regression_5_1.sh] the unlikely
becomes slightly likely and then bad things happen.
A fix would be to not leave the stale reference in fc->root as follows:
--------------
dput(fc->root);
+ fc->root = NULL;
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
--------------
...but then we are just open-coding a duplicate of fc_drop_locked() so we
simply use that instead.

The following sequence can be used to trigger a UAF:
int fscontext_fd = fsopen("cgroup");
int fd_null = open("/dev/null, O_RDONLY);
int fsconfig(fscontext_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "source", fd_null);
close_range(3, ~0U, 0);
The cgroup v1 specific fs parser expects a string for the "source"
parameter. However, it is perfectly legitimate to e.g. specify a file
descriptor for the "source" parameter. The fs parser doesn't know what
a filesystem allows there. So it's a bug to assume that "source" is
always of type fs_value_is_string when it can reasonably also be
fs_value_is_file.
This assumption in the cgroup code causes a UAF because struct
fs_parameter uses a union for the actual value. Access to that union is
guarded by the param->type member. Since the cgroup paramter parser
didn't check param->type but unconditionally moved param->string into
fc->source a close on the fscontext_fd would trigger a UAF during
put_fs_context() which frees fc->source thereby freeing the file stashed
in param->file causing a UAF during a close of the fd_null.
Fix this by verifying that param->type is actually a string and report
an error if not.
In follow up patches I'll add a new generic helper that can be used here
and by other filesystems instead of this error-prone copy-pasta fix.
But fixing it in here first makes backporting a it to stable a lot
easier.

When mounting a cgroup hierarchy with disabled controller in cgroup v1,

mount with "mount -t cgroup -ocpu cpu /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu", then all
enabled controllers will be attached except cpu.
Fix this by adding disabled controller check in cgroup1_parse_param().
If the specified controller is disabled, just return error with information

There are reports of users who use thread migrations between cgroups and
they report performance drop after d59cfc09c3 ("sched, cgroup: replace
signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"). The effect is
pronounced on machines with more CPUs.
The migration is affected by forking noise happening in the background,
after the mentioned commit a migrating thread must wait for all
(forking) processes on the system, not only of its threadgroup.
There are several places that need to synchronize with migration:
a) do_exit,
b) de_thread,
c) copy_process,
d) cgroup_update_dfl_csses,
e) parallel migration (cgroup_{proc,thread}s_write).
In the case of self-migrating thread, we relax the synchronization on
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to avoid the cost of waiting. d) and e) are
excluded with cgroup_mutex, c) does not matter in case of single thread
migration and the executing thread cannot exec(2) or exit(2) while it is
writing into cgroup.threads. In case of do_exit because of signal
delivery, we either exit before the migration or finish the migration
(of not yet PF_EXITING thread) and die afterwards.
This patch handles only the case of self-migration by writing "0" into
cgroup.threads. For simplicity, we always take cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem
with numeric PIDs.
This change improves migration dependent workload performance similar
to per-signal_struct state.

Store the results in cgroup_fs_context. There's a nasty twist caused
by the enabling/disabling subsystems - we can't do the checks sensitive
to that until cgroup_mutex gets grabbed. Frankly, these checks are
complete bullshit (e.g. all,none combination is accepted if all subsystems
are disabled; so's cpusets,none and all,cpusets when cpusets is disabled,
etc.), but touching that would be a userland-visible behaviour change ;-/
So we do parsing in ->parse_monolithic() and have the consistency checks
done in check_cgroupfs_options(), with the latter called (on already parsed
options) from cgroup1_get_tree() and cgroup1_reconfigure().
Freeing the strdup'ed strings is done from fs_context destructor, which
somewhat simplifies the life for cgroup1_{get_tree,reconfigure}().

Unfortunately, cgroup is tangled into kernfs infrastructure.
To avoid converting all kernfs-based filesystems at once,
we need to untangle the remount part of things, instead of
having it go through kernfs_sop_remount_fs(). Fortunately,
it's not hard to do.
This commit just gets cgroup/cgroup1 to use fs_context to

is going to be done in the next commits; for now we do
pretty much what legacy case does.

* make the reference from superblock to cgroup_root counting -
do cgroup_put() in cgroup_kill_sb() whether we'd done
percpu_ref_kill() or not; matching grab is done when we allocate
a new root. That gives the same refcounting rules for all callers
of cgroup_do_mount() - a reference to cgroup_root has been grabbed
by caller and it either is transferred to new superblock or dropped.
* have cgroup_kill_sb() treat an already killed refcount as "just
don't bother killing it, then".
* after successful cgroup_do_mount() have cgroup1_mount() recheck
if we'd raced with mount/umount from somebody else and cgroup_root
got killed. In that case we drop the superblock and bugger off
with -ERESTARTSYS, same as if we'd found it in the list already
dying.
* don't bother with delayed initialization of refcount - it's
unreliable and not needed. No need to prevent attempts to bump
the refcount if we find cgroup_root of another mount in progress -
sget will reuse an existing superblock just fine and if the
other sb manages to die before we get there, we'll catch
that immediately after cgroup_do_mount().

It is unwise to take spin locks from the handlers of trace events.
Mainly, because they can introduce lockups, because it introduces locks
in places that are normally not tested. Worse yet, because trace events
are tucked away in the include/trace/events/ directory, locks that are
taken there are forgotten about.
As a general rule, I tell people never to take any locks in a trace
event handler.
Several cgroup trace event handlers call cgroup_path() which eventually
takes the kernfs_rename_lock spinlock. This injects the spinlock in the
code without people realizing it. It also can cause issues for the
PREEMPT_RT patch, as the spinlock becomes a mutex, and the trace event
handlers are called with preemption disabled.
By moving the calculation of the cgroup_path() out of the trace event
handlers and into a macro (surrounded by a
trace_cgroup_##type##_enabled()), then we could place the cgroup_path
into a string, and pass that to the trace event. Not only does this
remove the taking of the spinlock out of the trace event handler, but
it also means that the cgroup_path() only needs to be called once (it
is currently called twice, once to get the length to reserver the
buffer for, and once again to get the path itself. Now it only needs to
be done once.

A new mount option "cpuset_v2_mode" is added to the v1 cgroupfs
filesystem to enable cpuset controller to use v2 behavior in a v1
cgroup. This mount option applies only to cpuset controller and have
no effect on other controllers.

This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.
A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.
The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.
The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.
As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.
Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.
This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.
For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.
v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create().
Spotted by Waiman.
- Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman.
- cgroup.type content slightly reformatted.
- Mark the debug controller threaded.
v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups
domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ.
v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
threaded subtree.
v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
coexisting with other domain cgroups.
- Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
control mask update mechanism.
- Bug fixes and cleanup.

css_task_iter currently always walks all tasks. With the scheduled
cgroup v2 thread support, the iterator would need to handle multiple
types of iteration. As a preparation, add @flags to
css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS. If the flag
is not specified, it walks all tasks as before. When asserted, the
iterator only walks the group leaders.
For now, the only user of the flag is cgroup v2 "cgroup.procs" file
which no longer needs to skip non-leader tasks in cgroup_procs_next().
Note that cgroup v1 "cgroup.procs" can't use the group leader walk as
v1 "cgroup.procs" doesn't mean "list all thread group leaders in the
cgroup" but "list all thread group id's with any threads in the
cgroup".
While at it, update cgroup_procs_show() to use task_pid_vnr() instead
of task_tgid_vnr(). As the iteration guarantees that the function
only sees group leaders, this doesn't change the output and will allow
sharing the function for thread iteration.

Currently, writes "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.tasks" files are all
handled by __cgroup_procs_write() on both v1 and v2. This patch
reoragnizes the write path so that there are common helper functions
that different write paths use.
While this somewhat increases LOC, the different paths are no longer
intertwined and each path has more flexibility to implement different
behaviors which will be necessary for the planned v2 thread support.
v3: - Restructured so that cgroup_procs_write_permission() takes
@src_cgrp and @dst_cgrp.
v2: - Rolled in Waiman's task reference count fix.
- Updated on top of nsdelegate changes.

The debug cgroup currently resides within cgroup-v1.c and is enabled
only for v1 cgroup. To enable the debug cgroup also for v2, it makes
sense to put the code into its own file as it will no longer be v1
specific. There is no change to the debug cgroup specific code.
