This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable uprobe.ref is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. The full comparison can be seen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon in state to be merged to the documentation tree. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the uprobe.ref it might make a difference in following places: - put_uprobe(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova --- kernel/events/uprobes.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/events/uprobes.c b/kernel/events/uprobes.c index ad415f7..750aece 100644 --- a/kernel/events/uprobes.c +++ b/kernel/events/uprobes.c @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ static struct percpu_rw_semaphore dup_mmap_sem; struct uprobe { struct rb_node rb_node; /* node in the rb tree */ - atomic_t ref; + refcount_t ref; struct rw_semaphore register_rwsem; struct rw_semaphore consumer_rwsem; struct list_head pending_list; @@ -561,13 +561,13 @@ set_orig_insn(struct arch_uprobe *auprobe, struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long v static struct uprobe *get_uprobe(struct uprobe *uprobe) { - atomic_inc(&uprobe->ref); + refcount_inc(&uprobe->ref); return uprobe; } static void put_uprobe(struct uprobe *uprobe) { - if (atomic_dec_and_test(&uprobe->ref)) { + if (refcount_dec_and_test(&uprobe->ref)) { /* * If application munmap(exec_vma) before uprobe_unregister() * gets called, we don't get a chance to remove uprobe from @@ -658,7 +658,7 @@ static struct uprobe *__insert_uprobe(struct uprobe *uprobe) rb_link_node(&uprobe->rb_node, parent, p); rb_insert_color(&uprobe->rb_node, &uprobes_tree); /* get access + creation ref */ - atomic_set(&uprobe->ref, 2); + refcount_set(&uprobe->ref, 2); return u; } -- 2.7.4
