* posix: Add pidfd_spawn and pidfd_spawnp (BZ 30349)Adhemerval Zanella Netto2023-09-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Returning a pidfd allows a process to keep a race-free handle for a child process, otherwise, the caller will need to either use pidfd_open (which still might be subject to TOCTOU) or keep the old racy interface base on pid_t. To correct use pifd_spawn, the kernel must support not only returning the pidfd with clone/clone3 but also waitid (P_PIDFD) (added on Linux 5.4). If kernel does not support the waitid, pidfd return ENOSYS. It avoids the need to racy workarounds, such as reading the procfs fdinfo to get the pid to use along with other wait interfaces. These interfaces are similar to the posix_spawn and posix_spawnp, with the only difference being it returns a process file descriptor (int) instead of a process ID (pid_t). Their prototypes are: int pidfd_spawn (int *restrict pidfd, const char *restrict file, const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts, const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp, char *const argv[restrict], char *const envp[restrict]) int pidfd_spawnp (int *restrict pidfd, const char *restrict path, const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts, const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp, char *const argv[restrict_arr], char *const envp[restrict_arr]); A new symbol is used instead of a posix_spawn extension to avoid possible issues with language bindings that might track the return argument lifetime. Although on Linux pid_t and int are interchangeable, POSIX only states that pid_t should be a signed integer. Both symbols reuse the posix_spawn posix_spawn_file_actions_t and posix_spawnattr_t, to void rehash posix_spawn API or add a new one. It also means that both interfaces support the same attribute and file actions, and a new flag or file action on posix_spawn is also added automatically for pidfd_spawn. Also, using posix_spawn plumbing allows the reusing of most of the current testing with some changes: - waitid is used instead of waitpid since it is a more generic interface. - tst-posix_spawn-setsid.c is adapted to take into consideration that the caller can check for session id directly. The test now spawns itself and writes the session id as a file instead. - tst-spawn3.c need to know where pidfd_spawn is used so it keeps an extra file description unused. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on Linux 4.15 (no CLONE_PIDFD or waitid support), Linux 5.4 (full support), and Linux 6.2. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>

* Linux: optimize clone3 internal usageAdhemerval Zanella Netto2023-02-011-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add an optimization to avoid calling clone3 when glibc detects that there is no kernel support. It also adds __ASSUME_CLONE3, which allows skipping this optimization and issuing the clone3 syscall directly. It does not handle the the small window between 5.3 and 5.5 for posix_spawn (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND was added in 5.5). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
* linux: Add clone3 CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND optimization to posix_spawnAdhemerval Zanella Netto2023-02-011-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The clone3 flag resets all signal handlers of the child not set to SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL. It allows to skip most of the sigaction calls to setup child signal handling, where previously a posix_spawn had to issue 2 times NSIG sigaction calls (one to obtain the current disposition and another to set either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN). With POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF the child will setup the signal for the case where the disposition is SIG_IGN. The code must handle the fallback where clone3 is not available. This is done by splitting __clone_internal_fallback from __clone_internal. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
* Linux: Do not align the stack for __clone3Adhemerval Zanella Netto2023-02-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | All internal callers of __clone3 should provide an already aligned stack. Removing the stack alignment in __clone3 is a net gain: it simplifies the internal function contract (mask/unmask signals) along with the arch-specific code. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

* linux: Extend internal clone3 documentationAdhemerval Zanella Netto2023-02-011-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Different than kernel, clone3 returns EINVAL for NULL struct clone_args or function pointer. This is similar to clone interface that return EINVAL for NULL function argument. It also clean up the Linux clone3.h interface, since it not currently exported. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
* Add an internal wrapper for clone, clone2 and clone3H.J. Lu2021-07-141-0/+16
The clone3 system call (since Linux 5.3) provides a superset of the functionality of clone and clone2. It also provides a number of API improvements, including the ability to specify the size of the child's stack area which can be used by kernel to compute the shadow stack size when allocating the shadow stack. Add: extern int __clone_internal (struct clone_args *__cl_args, int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg); to provide an abstract interface for clone, clone2 and clone3. 1. Simplify stack management for thread creation by passing both stack base and size to create_thread. 2. Consolidate clone vs clone2 differences into a single file. 3. Call __clone3 if HAVE_CLONE3_WAPPER is defined. If __clone3 returns -1 with ENOSYS, fall back to clone or clone2. 4. Use only __clone_internal to clone a thread. Since the stack size argument for create_thread is now unconditional, always pass stack size to create_thread. 5. Enable the public clone3 wrapper in the future after it has been added to all targets. NB: Sandbox will return ENOSYS on clone3 in both Chromium: The following revision refers to this bug: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/218438259dd795456f0a48f67cbe5b4e520db88b commit 218438259dd795456f0a48f67cbe5b4e520db88b Author: Matthew Denton <mpdenton@chromium.org> Date: Thu Jun 03 20:06:13 2021 Linux sandbox: return ENOSYS for clone3 Because clone3 uses a pointer argument rather than a flags argument, we cannot examine the contents with seccomp, which is essential to preventing sandboxed processes from starting other processes. So, we won't be able to support clone3 in Chromium. This CL modifies the BPF policy to return ENOSYS for clone3 so glibc always uses the fallback to clone.
