Subject: x86/mm: Fix use-after-free of ldt_struct

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ccd5b3235180eef3cfec337df1c8554ab151b5cc upstream.

The following commit:

  39a0526fb3f7 ("x86/mm: Factor out LDT init from context init")

renamed init_new_context() to init_new_context_ldt() and added a new
init_new_context() which calls init_new_context_ldt().  However, the
error code of init_new_context_ldt() was ignored.  Consequently, if a
memory allocation in alloc_ldt_struct() failed during a fork(), the
->context.ldt of the new task remained the same as that of the old task
(due to the memcpy() in dup_mm()).  ldt_struct's are not intended to be
shared, so a use-after-free occurred after one task exited.

Fix the bug by making init_new_context() pass through the error code of
init_new_context_ldt().

This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

Here is a C reproducer:

    #include <asm/ldt.h>
    #include <pthread.h>
    #include <signal.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <sys/syscall.h>
    #include <sys/wait.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    static void *fork_thread(void *_arg)
    {
        fork();
    }

    int main(void)
    {
        struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = 8191 };

        syscall(__NR_modify_ldt, 1, &desc, sizeof(desc));

        for (;;) {
            if (fork() == 0) {
                pthread_t t;

                srand(getpid());
                pthread_create(&t, NULL, fork_thread, NULL);
                usleep(rand() % 10000);
                syscall(__NR_exit_group, 0);
            }
            wait(NULL);
        }
    }

Note: the reproducer takes advantage of the fact that alloc_ldt_struct()
may use vmalloc() to allocate a large ->entries array, and after
commit:

  5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed")

it is possible for userspace to fail a task's vmalloc() by
sending a fatal signal, e.g. via exit_group().  It would be more
difficult to reproduce this bug on kernels without that commit.

This bug only affected kernels with CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL=y.
