[PATCH] Add UNSUPPORTED check in elf/tst-pldd.

[PATCH] Add UNSUPPORTED check in elf/tst-pldd.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 402 bytes --]

Hi,

the testcase forks a child process and runs pldd with PID of
this child.  On systems where /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
differs from zero, pldd will fail with
/usr/bin/pldd: cannot attach to process 3: Operation not permitted

This patch checks if ptrace_scope is zero and otherwise marks the
test as UNSUPPORTED.

Bye
Stefan

ChangeLog:

	* elf/tst-pldd.c (do_test): Add UNSUPPORTED check.

This is a Linuxism and I think we should create a 'support_can_ptrace' similar
to 'support_can_chroot'.  The logic to detect it seems correct, I would just
check fscanf returned to value and use xfclose.  It would be something like

bool
support_can_ptrace (void)
{
  bool ret = true;

#ifdef __linux__
  /* YAMA may be not enabled.  If it is then ptrace_scope it has to be 0
     which means "classic ptrace permissions".  A process can 
     PTRACE_ATTACH to any other process running under the same uid, as
     long as it is dumpable.  Otherwise pldd will fail to attach to the
     subprocess.  */
  FILE *f = fopen ("/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope", "r");
  if (f == NULL)
    return true;

  int i = 99;
  TEST_COMPARE (fscanf (f, "%d", &i), 1);
  xfclose (f);
  ret = i == 0;
#endif

  return ret;
}

And I think we might eventually need to handle seccomp as well.

The test does the right thing if the path does not exist, so I'm not
sure if it is necessary.

support_can_ptrace would be misleading because even with YAMA scope
support, tracing direct subprocesses will still work.

I fact, I think we might be able to get this test to work even with
fairly restrictive YAMA scopes, by proper ordering of forks and using
execve to run tst-pldd.

Thanks,

Even though, a check for a Linux specific path should be restricted to
Linux builds only.

Indeed, a better prototype would be indeed:

/* Return the current YAMA mode set on the machine (0 to 3) or -1
   if YAMA is not supported.  */
int support_ptrace_scope (void);

The problem with ptrace_scope 1 is tst-pldd will either make its fork 
helper process a pldd descendant or pass pldd pid to the forked process 
so it can call prctl (PR_SET_PTRACER, ...).  In either case I am not 
really sure it is possible without change pldd process itself (since 
it does not have an interactive mode), nor if the complexity to support 
this specific scenarios pays off. 

The ptrace_scope 2 is even more tricky since it requires CAP_SYS_PTRACE.

In any case I think by restricting the test to run on ptrace_scope 0
is a fair assumption.

Please have a look at the adjusted the patch.

I've introduced new support functions.
And if ptrace_scope is 1 "restricted ptrace", I've just call prctl 
(PR_SET_PTRACER, PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY,...) on the target process.
This way the target process does not need to know the pid of pldd and 
pldd is allowed to attach to the target process.

If ptrace_scope is 2 or 3, the test is marked as UNSUPPORTED.

Thanks.
Stefan

    Add UNSUPPORTED check in elf/tst-pldd.
    
    The testcase forks a child process and runs pldd with PID of
    this child.  On systems where /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
    differs from zero, pldd will fail with
    /usr/bin/pldd: cannot attach to process 3: Operation not permitted
    
    This patch checks if ptrace_scope exists, is zero "classic ptrace permissions"
    or one "restricted ptrace".  In case of "restricted ptrace", we can
    effectively disable the restriction by using prctl (PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY).
    
    If ptrace_scope exists and has a higher restriction, then the test
    is marked as UNSUPPORTED.
    
    ChangeLog:
    
            * elf/tst-pldd.c (do_test): Add UNSUPPORTED check.
            (target_process): Disable restricted ptrace.

I think this has a race condition if pldd attaches to the process before
the support_ptrace_process_set_ptracer_any call.  I have no idea how
hard it is in practice to hit this race.  It should be possible to use a
process-shared barrier or some other form of synchronization to avoid
this issue.

Florian

I've added a synchronization with stdatomic.h on a shared memory mapping.
I've not used pthread* functions as I don't want to link against 
libpthread.so. Then further adjustments are needed.

Or should I just restrict the test ptrace_scope 0 as Adhemerval has 
proposed in his post?

Is it possible to create a process tree like this?


  parent (performs output checks)
    subprocess 1 (becomes pldd via execve)
      subprocess 2

If you execve pldd from subprocess 1, wouldn't subprocess 2 in its
ptrace scope for ptrace_scope < 2?

Thanks,
Florian

Yes, this is possible.
I've rearranged the subprocesses. See attached patch.
Now we have a new function pldd_process which forks target_process,
stores the pid of target_prcess to a shared memory mapping as do_test 
needs to know this pid.

Afterwards it execve to pldd which successfully ptrace target_process in 
case of "restricted ptrace".

Please review the usage of support-subprocess-functions.

commit ad51263d51d12ce6ca2ce9304efe5ba05b3912b1
Author: Stefan Liebler <stli@linux.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 26 15:45:07 2019 +0200

    Add UNSUPPORTED check in elf/tst-pldd.
    
    The testcase forks a child process and runs pldd with PID of
    this child.  On systems where /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
    differs from zero, pldd will fail with
    /usr/bin/pldd: cannot attach to process 3: Operation not permitted
    
    This patch checks if ptrace_scope exists, is zero "classic ptrace permissions"
    or one "restricted ptrace".  If ptrace_scope exists and has a higher
    restriction, then the test is marked as UNSUPPORTED.
    
    The case "restricted ptrace" is handled by rearranging the processes involved
    during the test.  Now we have the following process tree:
    -parent: do_test (performs output checks)
    --subprocess 1: pldd_process (becomes pldd via execve)
    ---subprocess 2: target_process (ptraced via pldd)
    
    ChangeLog:
    
            * elf/tst-pldd.c (do_test): Add UNSUPPORTED check.
            Rearrange subprocesses.
            (pldd_process): New function.
            * support/Makefile (libsupport-routines): Add support_ptrace.
            * support/ptrace.h: New file.
            * support/support_ptrace.c: Likewise.

Sorry for that.
This include of sys/prctl.h is a leftover from a previous patch version.
I've just committed the attached patch which just removes it.

Thanks.

Author: Stefan Liebler <stli@linux.ibm.com>
Date:   Thu Sep 19 11:00:55 2019 +0200

    Fix building support_ptrace.c on i686-gnu.
    
    On i686-gnu the build is broken:
    In file included from support_ptrace.c:22:
    ../include/sys/prctl.h:2:15: fatal error: sys/prctl.h: No such file or directory
     #include_next <sys/prctl.h>
    
    This patch just removes the unused prctl.h inclusion.
    
    ChangeLog:
    
            * support/support_ptrace.c: Remove inclusion of sys/prctl.h.

Do we really need that ad-hoc support on tst-pldd to make it support 
ptrace_scope 1?

I don't oppose the support Stefan has added on latest iteration to
make it work, but this is a lot of code to support a very specific
scenario...

As there are systems where ptrace_scope is configured to 1 by default, 
we should adjust the testcase as the FAIL is misleading.
(I've just recognized that Steve Ellcey had also seen this FAIL: 
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-07/msg00618.html)

The minimum change should be to detect ptrace_scope == 1 and mark the 
test as UNSUPPORTED. Or we change a bit more and let the test also run 
in this scenario. (Either by support_ptrace_process_set_ptracer_any or 
adjusting the subprocess-tree)

Yes, my initial suggestion was just to make it as UNSUPPORTED for ptrace_scope >= 1.
But I do not oppose adjusting it to run on ptrace_scope 1, it is just that
the required hackery lead to make it somewhat as complex than the test itself.

The flip side of the coin is that the more "UNSUPPORTED" results we
add *implies* there is "one valid way" to setup a glibc test run
and we don't clearly document how to turn all the "UNSUPPORTED"
entries into supported tests?

Stefan's code can at least be refactored into support/ if we need
to do the same thing again in another test.

PING.

As I have already posted multiple versions of the patch, how to proceed?
1) UNSUPPORTED if support_ptrace_scope() >= 2;
Support support_ptrace_scope() == 1
by adjusting the process tree;
(see https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-09/msg00024.html)

2) UNSUPPORTED if support_ptrace_scope() >= 2;
Support support_ptrace_scope() == 1
by calling support_ptrace_process_set_ptracer_any();
(see https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-08/msg00722.html)

3) UNSUPPORTED if support_ptrace_scope() != 0
(patch would use support_ptrace_scope() of one of the patches above in 
order to trigger FAIL_UNSUPPORTED)

Stefan

My view is although 2) is way complex that I would like, I think it should
the more complete solution. Does still need review or is it ready to land?

You've already reviewed the support part on a previous version of "patch 
2)" (the support part was not changed in the latest version; see 
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-08/msg00703.html).

But it needs review for the synchronization part between the 
target_process and do_test in tst-pldd.c.

I think we can restrict the test to ptrace_scope 0 for now, since as Florian
has brought we will need some synchronization with parent after the
support_ptrace_process_set_ptracer_any call.
