Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way.  So, when

activate_mm().  However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down
exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via
PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation.

[PATCH] SYSEMU: fix sysaudit / singlestep interaction

This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction

some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable().

I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't
understand the reason.

The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this
is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually,
do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is
good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere.
For instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without
PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it
manually).

Laurent Vivier [Sat, 3 Sep 2005 22:57:18 +0000 (15:57 -0700)]
[PATCH] UML Support - Ptrace: adds the host SYSEMU support, for UML and general usage

      Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>,
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>,
      Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>

Adds a new ptrace(2) mode, called PTRACE_SYSEMU, resembling PTRACE_SYSCALL
except that the kernel does not execute the requested syscall; this is useful
to improve performance for virtual environments, like UML, which want to run
the syscall on their own.

In fact, using PTRACE_SYSCALL means stopping child execution twice, on entry
and on exit, and each time you also have two context switches; with SYSEMU you
avoid the 2nd stop and so save two context switches per syscall.

Also, some architectures don't have support in the host for changing the
syscall number via ptrace(), which is currently needed to skip syscall
execution (UML turns any syscall into getpid() to avoid it being executed on
the host).  Fixing that is hard, while SYSEMU is easier to implement.

* This version of the patch includes some suggestions of Jeff Dike to avoid
  adding any instructions to the syscall fast path, plus some other little
  changes, by myself, to make it work even when the syscall is executed with
  SYSENTER (but I'm unsure about them). It has been widely tested for quite a
  lot of time.

* Various fixed were included to handle the various switches between
  various states, i.e. when for instance a syscall entry is traced with one of
  PT_SYSCALL / _SYSEMU / _SINGLESTEP and another one is used on exit.
  Basically, this is done by remembering which one of them was used even after
  the call to ptrace_notify().

* We're combining TIF_SYSCALL_EMU with TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP
  to make do_syscall_trace() notice that the current syscall was started with
  SYSEMU on entry, so that no notification ought to be done in the exit path;
  this is a bit of a hack, so this problem is solved in another way in next
  patches.

* Also, the effects of the patch:
"Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep"
are cancelled; they are restored back in the last patch of this series.

Detailed descriptions of the patches doing this kind of processing follow (but
I've already summed everything up).

* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #1.

  In do_syscall_trace(), we check the status of the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag
  only after doing the debugger notification; but the debugger might have
  changed the status of this flag because he continued execution with
  PTRACE_SYSCALL, so this is wrong.  This patch fixes it by saving the flag
  status before calling ptrace_notify().

* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #2:
  avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SYSCALL again.

  A guest process switching from using PTRACE_SYSEMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL
  crashes.

  The problem is in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S.  The current SYSEMU patch
  inhibits the syscall-handler to be called, but does not prevent
  do_syscall_trace() to be called after this for syscall completion
  interception.

  The appended patch fixes this.  It reuses the flag TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to
  remember "we come from PTRACE_SYSEMU and now are in PTRACE_SYSCALL", since
  the flag is unused in the depicted situation.

* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #3:
  avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SINGLESTEP.

  When testing 2.6.9 and the skas3.v6 patch, with my latest patch and had
  problems with singlestepping on UML in SKAS with SYSEMU.  It looped
  receiving SIGTRAPs without moving forward.  EIP of the traced process was
  the same for all SIGTRAPs.

What's missing is to handle switching from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP in a way very similar to what is done for the change from
PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL_TRACE.

I.e., after calling ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU), on the return path, the debugger is
notified and then wake ups the process; the syscall is executed (or skipped,
when do_syscall_trace() returns 0, i.e.  when using PTRACE_SYSEMU), and
do_syscall_trace() is called again.  Since we are on the return path of a
SYSEMU'd syscall, if the wake up is performed through ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL),
we must still avoid notifying the parent of the syscall exit.  Now, this
behaviour is extended even to resuming with PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.

[PATCH] Ptrace/i386: fix "syscall audit" interaction with singlestep

      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Avoid giving two traps for singlestep instead of one, when syscall auditing is
enabled.

In fact no singlestep trap is sent on syscall entry, only on syscall exit, as
can be seen in entry.S:

# Note that in this mask _TIF_SINGLESTEP is not tested !!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        testb $(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT|_TIF_SECCOMP),TI_flags(%ebp)
        jnz syscall_trace_entry
...
syscall_trace_entry:
...
call do_syscall_trace

But auditing a SINGLESTEP'ed process causes do_syscall_trace to be called, so
the tracer will get one more trap on the syscall entry path, which it
shouldn't.

Andreas Steinmetz [Sat, 3 Sep 2005 22:56:59 +0000 (15:56 -0700)]
[PATCH] encrypt suspend data for easy wiping

The patch protects from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to encrypt the
data written to disk.  When, during resume, the data was read back into memory
the temporary key is destroyed which simply means that all data written to
disk during suspend are then inaccessible so they can't be stolen lateron.

Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running that keeps
sensitive data in memory.  The application itself prevents the data from being
swapped out.  Suspend, however, must write these data to swap to be able to
resume lateron.  Without suspend encryption your sensitive data are then
stored in plaintext on disk.  This means that after resume your sensitive data
are accessible to all applications having direct access to the swap device
which was used for suspend.  If you don't need swap after resume these data
can remain on disk virtually forever.  Thus it can happen that your system
gets broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were encrypted
and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.

[PATCH] i386: encapsulate copying of pgd entries

Add a clone operation for pgd updates.

This helps complete the encapsulation of updates to page tables (or pages
about to become page tables) into accessor functions rather than using
memcpy() to duplicate them.  This is both generally good for consistency
and also necessary for running in a hypervisor which requires explicit
updates to page table entries.

The new function is:

clone_pgd_range(pgd_t *dst, pgd_t *src, int count);

   dst - pointer to pgd range anwhere on a pgd page
   src - ""
   count - the number of pgds to copy.

   dst and src can be on the same page, but the range must not overlap
   and must not cross a page boundary.

Note that I ommitted using this call to copy pgd entries into the
software suspend page root, since this is not technically a live paging
structure, rather it is used on resume from suspend.  CC'ing Pavel in case
he has any feedback on this.

Thanks to Chris Wright for noticing that this could be more optimal in
PAE compiles by eliminating the memset.

[PATCH] x86: privilege cleanup

Privilege checking cleanup.  Originally, these diffs were much greater, but
recent cleanups in Linux have already done much of the cleanup.  I added
some explanatory comments in places where the reasoning behind certain
tests is rather subtle.

Also, in traps.c, we can skip the user_mode check in handle_BUG().  The
reason is, there are only two call chains - one via die_if_kernel() and one
via do_page_fault(), both entering from die().  Both of these paths already
ensure that a kernel mode failure has happened.  Also, the original check
here, if (user_mode(regs)) was insufficient anyways, since it would not
rule out BUG faults from V8086 mode execution.

Saving the %ss segment in show_regs() rather than assuming a fixed value
also gives better information about the current kernel state in the
register dump.
