[PATCH 4/5] binfmt_elf, binfmt_elf_fdpic: Use a VMA list snapshot
From: Jann Horn
Date: Mon Apr 27 2020 - 23:28:27 EST
In both binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic, use a new helper
dump_vma_snapshot() to take a snapshot of the VMA list (including the gate
VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_sem, and then use that
snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking.
An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_sem held across the
entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_sem locked while
we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g. because we're
dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_sem
blocks things like the ->release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't
really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because someone
"gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or something
like that.
Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this
functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in the
future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common helper
in fs/coredump.c.
A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel
memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n)
kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't
be terribly bad.
