From 134fca9063ad4851de767d1768180e5dede9a881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 15:41:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/mincore.c: make mincore() more conservative The semantics of what mincore() considers to be resident is not completely clear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache". That's potentially a problem, as that [in]directly exposes meta-information about pagecache / memory mapping state even about memory not strictly belonging to the process executing the syscall, opening possibilities for sidechannel attacks. Change the semantics of mincore() so that it only reveals pagecache information for non-anonymous mappings that belog to files that the calling process could (if it tried to) successfully open for writing; otherwise we'd be including shared non-exclusive mappings, which - is the sidechannel - is not the usecase for mincore(), as that's primarily used for data, not (shared) text [jkosina@suse.cz: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190312141708.6652-2-vbabka@suse.cz [mhocko@suse.com: restructure can_do_mincore() conditions] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1903062342020.19912@cbobk.fhfr.pm Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka Acked-by: Josh Snyder Acked-by: Michal Hocko Originally-by: Linus Torvalds Originally-by: Dominique Martinet Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: Kevin Easton Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Cyril Hrubis Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Kirill A.
