The patch titled
Subject: procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
procfs-always-expose-proc-pid-map_files-and-make-it-readable.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Calvin Owens <calvinowens@xxxxxx>
Subject: procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable
Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and is
only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
Each mapped file region gets a symlink in /proc/<pid>/map_files/
corresponding to the virtual address range at which it is mapped. The
symlinks work like the symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd/, so you can follow them
to the backing file even if that backing file has been unlinked.
Currently, files which are mapped, unlinked, and closed are impossible to
stat() from userspace. Exposing /proc/<pid>/map_files/ closes this
functionality "hole".
Not being able to stat() such files makes noticing and explicitly
accounting for the space they use on the filesystem impossible. You can
work around this by summing up the space used by every file in the
filesystem and subtracting that total from what statfs() tells you, but
that obviously isn't great, and it becomes unworkable once your filesystem
becomes large enough.
This patch moves map_files/ out from behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
adjusts the permissions enforced on it as follows:
* proc_map_files_lookup()
* proc_map_files_readdir()
* map_files_d_revalidate()
Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction, leaving only the current
restriction requiring PTRACE_MODE_READ. The information made
available to userspace by these three functions is already
available in /proc/PID/maps with MODE_READ, so I don't see any
reason to limit them any further (see below for more detail).
* proc_map_files_follow_link()
This stub has been added, and requires that the user have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to follow the links in map_files/,
since there was concern on LKML both about the potential for
bypassing permissions on ancestor directories in the path to
files pointed to, and about what happens with more exotic
memory mappings created by some drivers (ie dma-buf).
In older versions of this patch, I changed every permission check in
the four functions above to enforce MODE_ATTACH instead of MODE_READ.
This was an oversight on my part, and after revisiting the discussion
it seems that nobody was concerned about anything outside of what is
made possible by ->follow_link(). So in this version, I've left the
checks for PTRACE_MODE_READ as-is.
