That's not the odd thing here.

IOW, this is all doing a copy from user with page faults disabled, and
it shouldn't have caused a signal to be sent, so the whole
__bad_area_nosemaphore -> force_sig_fault path is bad.

The *problem* here is that the page fault doesn't actually happen on a
user access, it happens on the *ret* instruction in
rep_movs_alternative itself (which doesn't have a exception fixup,
obviously, because no exception is supposed to happen there!):

22:* c3 ret <-- trapping instruction

but I have no idea why the 'ret' instruction would take a page fault.
It really shouldn't.

Now, it's not like 'ret' instructions can't take page faults, but it
sure shouldn't happen in the *kernel*. The reasons for page faults on
'ret' instructions are:

- the instruction itself takes a page fault

- the stack pointer is bogus

- possibly because the stack *contents* are bogus (at least some x86
instructions that jump will check the destination in the jump
instruction itself, although I didn't think 'ret' was one of them)

but for the kernel, none of these actually seem to be the case
normally. And even abnormally I don't see this being an issue, since
the exception backtrace is happily shown (ie the stack looks all
good).

So this dump is just *WEIRD*.

End result: the problem is not about any kind of deadlock on circular
locking. That's just the symptom of that odd page fault that shouldn't
have happened, and that I don't quite see how it happened.

Actually, there's another page fault deeper in that call chain:

__do_sys_gettimeofday kernel/time/time.c:147 [inline]
__se_sys_gettimeofday+0xd9/0x240 kernel/time/time.c:140

which is also nonsensical, since that "<0f> 01 ca" code is just the
"CLAC" instruction (which is the first instruction of
__put_user_handle_exception, which is the exception fixup for the
__put_user() functions.

So that seems to be the *first* problem spot, actually. It too is
incomprehensible to me. I must be missing something. A "clac"
instruction cannot take a page fault (except for the instruction fetch
itself, of course).

So if the page fault on the 'RET' instruction was odd, the page fault
on the CLAC is *really* odd.

That original page fault looks like it's just from one of the
put_user() calls in gettimeofday():

if (put_user(ts.tv_sec, &tv->tv_sec) ||
put_user(ts.tv_nsec / 1000, &tv->tv_usec))

and yes, they can fault, but I'm not seeing how that then points to
the CLAC in the exception handler.

No, that should be perfectly fine. In fact, it's even normal. It would
happen any time you have any kind of tracing thing, where looking up
the user mode frame involves doing user accesses with page faults
disabled.

The runqueue lock is irrelevant. As mentioned, it's only a symptom of
something else going wrong.

Now, judging by the syz reproducer, the trigger for this all is almost
certainly that

bpf$BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN(0x11,
&(0x7f00000000c0)={&(0x7f0000000080)='sched_switch\x00', r0}, 0x10)

and that probably causes the instability. But the immediate problem is
not the user space access, it's that something goes horribly wrong
*around* it.

That seems to be entirely different. There's no unexplained page fault
in that case, that seems to be purely a "take lock in the wrong order"

I can't recall title of the commit, but I feel that things went very wrong
after a commit that allows running tracing function upon lock contention
(run code when e.g. a spinlock could not be taken) was introduced.
That commit is forming random locking dependency, resulting in flood of
lockdep warnings.

Side note: that stack trace from hell actually has three nested page
faults, and I think that's actually the important thing here:

- the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall emulation.

- the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday, and that
should just have caused the exception that then sets the return value
to -EFAULT

- the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
-> preempt_schedule -> trace_sched_switch, which then causes that bpf
trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat, which
causes that page fault under pagefault_disable().

It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on.

And I think I finally see what may be going on. The problem is
literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets

current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1;

and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal
*despite* the exception being caught.

And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus
exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent
- like for the bpf user mode trace gathering.

In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is
entirely broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the
wrong things.

Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation
any more, but this test case clearly does.

I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the
vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state
for something that isn't actually per thread.

The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect
nesting" by having that

if (in_interrupt())
return;

which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in
interrupts, but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do
not need to be about interrupts at all.

IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken code.

The attached patch is ENTIRELY UNTESTED, but looks like the
ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do.

NOTE! This broken code goes back to commit 4fc3490114bb ("x86-64: Set
siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults") in 2011, and back
then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right. Honestly, I
do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo
details right here, but part of the commit says

This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this
situation.

I cannot find it in myself to care, since I do not believe that
anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in 2024 in the first
place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But let's see if
somebody screams.

Also, somebody should obviously test my COMPLETELY UNTESTED patch.

Did I make it clear enough that this is UNTESTED and just does
crapectgomy on something that is clearly broken?

I did some Simple Testing™, and nothing seemed to break in any way visible
to me, and the diffstat is lovely:

Might stick this into tip:x86/mm and see what happens?

I'd love to remove the rest of the vsyscall emulation code as well. I don't
think anyone cares about vsyscall emulation anymore (let alone in an UML
context), IIRC it requires ancient glibc I don't think we even support
anymore (but I'm unsure about the exact version cutoff).

I created a changelog from your email, editing parts of it, and added your
Net-Yet-Signed-off-by tag.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Remove broken vsyscall emulation code from the page fault code

The syzbot-reported stack trace from hell in this discussion thread
actually has three nested page faults:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000d5...@google.com

... and I think that's actually the important thing here:

- the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall
emulation.

- the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday(), and that should
just have caused the exception that then sets the return value to
-EFAULT

- the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() ->
preempt_schedule() -> trace_sched_switch(), which then causes a BPF
trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat(), which
causes that page fault under pagefault_disable().

It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on.

The problem is literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets

current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1;

and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal *despite* the
exception being caught.

And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus
exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent -
like for the BPF user mode trace gathering.

In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is entirely
broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the wrong things.

Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation any
more, but this test case clearly does.

I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the
vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state for
something that isn't actually per thread.

The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect nesting"
by having that:

if (in_interrupt())
return;

which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in interrupts,
but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do not need to be
about interrupts at all.

IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken
code.

The attached patch looks like the ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do.

NOTE! This broken code goes back to this commit in 2011:

4fc3490114bb ("x86-64: Set siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults")

... and back then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right.
Honestly, I do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo
details right here, but part of the commit says:

This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

... and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this
situation.

I do not believe that anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in
2024 in the first place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But
let's see if somebody screams.

Another example is at https://lkml.kernel.org/r/00000000000041...@google.com .
Since many callers might hold runqueue lock while holding some other locks, allowing
BPF to run code which can hold one of such locks while runqueue lock is held is asking
for troubles. BPF programs are unexpected lock grabber for built-in code. I think that
BPF should not run code which might hold one of such locks when an atomic lock is
already held.

Well, Hilf had it go through the syzbot testing, and Jiri seems to
have tested it on his setup too, so it looks like it's all good, and
you can change the "Not-Yet-Signed-off-by" to be a proper sign-off
from me.

It would be good to have some UML testing done, but at the same time I
do think that anybody running UML on modern kernels should be running
a modern user-mode setup too, so while the exact SIGSEGV details may
have been an issue in 2011, I don't think it's reasonable to think
that it's an issue in 2024.

Side note: having looked more at this, I suspect we have room for
further cleanups in this area.

In particular, I think the page fault emulation code should be moved
from do_user_addr_fault() to do_kern_addr_fault(), and the horrible
hack that is fault_in_kernel_space() should be removed (it is what now
makes a vsyscall page fault be treated as a user address, and the only
_reason_ for that is that we do the vsyscall handling in the wrong
place).

I also think that the vsyscall emulation code should just be cleaned
up - instead of looking up the system call number and then calling the
__x64_xyz() system call stub, I think we should just write out the
code in-place. That would get the SIGSEGV cases right too, and I think
it would actually clean up the code. We already do almost everything
but the (trivial) low-level ops anyway.

But I think my patch to remove the 'sig_on_uaccess_err' should just go
in first, since it fixes a real and present issue. And then if
somebody has the energy - or if it turns out that we actually need to
get the SIGSEGV siginfo details right - we can do the other cleanups.
They are mostly unrelated, but the current sig_on_uaccess_err code
just makes everything more complicated and needs to go.

Final note: we should also remove the XONLY option entirely, and
remove all the strange page table handling we currently do for it.

It won't work anyway on future CPUs with LASS, and we *have* to
emulate things (and not in the page fault path, I think LASS will
cause a GP fault).

I think the LASS patches ended up just disabling LASS if people wanted
vsyscall, which is probably the worst case.

Again, this is more of a "I think we have more work to do", and should
all happen after that sig_on_uaccess_err stuff is gone.

I guess that patch to rip out sig_on_uaccess_err needs to go into 6.9
and even be marked for stable, since it most definitely breaks some
stuff currently. Even if that "some stuff" is pretty esoteric (ie
"vsyscall=emulate" together with tracing).

Ahh, I misread set_vsyscall_pgtable_user_bits(). It's used for EMULATE
not for XONLY.

And the code in pti_setup_vsyscall() is just wrong, and does it for all cases.

> So I think we should remove EMULATE before removing XONLY.

Ok, looking at that again, I don't disagree. I misread that XONLY as
mapping it executable, but it is actually just mapping it readable

Yes, let's remove EMULATE, and keep XONLY.

Yeah - I just put it into tip:x86/urgent as-is, with the various Tested-by

What strange page table handling do we do for XONLY?

EMULATE actually involves page tables. XONLY is just in the "gate
area" (which is more or less just a procfs thing) and the page fault
code.

So I think we should remove EMULATE before removing XONLY. We already
tried pretty hard to get everyone to stop using EMULATE.
