Typically these kinds of tests are frowned upon in the kernel unless
there is a legal usage where NULL is valid. Otherwise you may just be
covering up a bug.
Also, why not just get_task_mm(task) within the function rather than
pass it in by the caller?

Unsigned int buflen passed as int len argument without a range check?
Note that in the proc_pid_cmdline() code, they first cap it at PAGE_SIZE
before passing it.
The closer you can keep your code to the original proc_pid_cmdline()
code, the better (less chance for new bugs to be introduced).

Lost the len < PAGE_SIZE check from proc_pid_cmdline() here, and that

Not sure where these comments are coming from. Isn't the issue that
lack of NUL at the end of args indicates that the cmdline extends
further into the environ and thus they need to copy in the rest?

It isn't truncating buflen but rather copying the remainder of the
cmdline from the environ, right?

I think you are better off just copying proc_pid_cmdline() exactly as is
into a common helper function and then reusing it for audit. Far less
work, and far less potential for mistakes.

Yes I was debating whether or not to drop the pointer checks... np
WRT the locking and moving it into the function. You need to take the lock
to determine the size of the cmdline area. The idea on the interface is you
would take the locks, acquire the size via the inline func, alloc memory and
then call the copy function. In some cases, like proc/pid/cmdline, they just
alloc a page and truncate on that boundary. However, one may with to truncate
on an arbitrary boundry, especially when cacheing the values, as you don't want
to allocate too much. So inbetween functions calls that get the length and copy,
one can make a decision based on their allocation scheme. Moving the locks
to the functions would require multiple locks and unlocks in the common case.

buflen is passed by the caller. So if you look in the following patch
introducing its
use in proc/fs/base.c, their is a check.
/*The caller of this allocates a page */
if (len > PAGE_SIZE)
len = PAGE_SIZE;
res = copy_cmdline(task, mm, buffer, len);

for (res <= 0), in that case, the underlying call
to __access_remote_vm() returns an int. Most of the mm functions look
like they are using
ints for probably some historical reason I am not aware of. I tried to
pick the strongest invariant,
however, I don't think < 0 is possible.
For the res > buflen check, that might might be an artifact from the
PAGE_SIZE cap from the original
code. It would only be possible if a process was able to write to
their mm when the semaphores are held.
I am assuming the case of:
kernel gets size
kernel allocs buffer
kernel copys but size has differed. I guess if I broke the locking out
it could happen, you need size and copy
to be autonomous.

Their is no guarantee that their is a NULL from what I understand. So you need
to look for it, and copy from there. I have no qualms about dropping
the comments
their not very useful, as well as moving the block back to what the
original procfs
code had.

I don't like caching a whole page in that audit context. So most of
the complexity relates to
determining the size of the cache. Steve Grub was in favor of limiting
the cmdline value to
PATH_MAX. So if that is an acceptable cache size, we can take the
existing code from
procfs/base.c and just add an argument indicating the size of the
buffer. procfs will be
PAGE_SIZE and audit will be PATH_MAX. Thoughts?

I don't think it is a good idea to split it up, as what happens if the
range changes between the time you compute the length and the time you
copy? And your current callers appear to always get_task_mm(), compute
len, call the helper, and mmput. So just take it all to the helper (at
which point the helper essentially becomes proc_pid_cmdline).

I understand that, but you are making correct operation of the helper
dependent on the caller already having applied such a cap to the length.
Which is unsafe practice and may not hold true for future callers.

Sorry, you misunderstood. The <=0 case is clearly possible; I was only
asking about the res > buflen check, which seems impossible as you
provided buflen as the max for the access_process_vm() call. That one
does not make sense to me and has no equivalent in the original
proc_pid_cmdline() code.

Yes, that seems reasonable to me.

That's why I keep the semaphore over the whole operation. The issue arises with
the amount to allocate by the caller, which is a bit of a shot in the
dark. The caller
may not wish to over allocate a buffer. This same issue could arise in
the current
code, but they hold the sem.

Again, what if the caller wished to cap it as 32, 64, 128, or 2 * PAGE_SIZE?
They can just pass the value on which to cap, which is their buffer that they
allocated. Thus they know the size. Again, all of this boils down to
the allocation
scheme which you comment on below. With that said, this becomes a whole lot
simpler.

SGTM, Ill go that route with these... much simpler and avoids
the caller having to know how to lock the memory region properly.

Why? You set len below before first use, so this is redundant.

Equivalent to goto out in the original code, so why change it? Don't
make unnecessary changes.
Also, I think the get_task_mm() ought to move into the helper (or all of
proc_pid_cmdline() should just become the helper). In what situation
will you not be calling get_task_mm() and mmput() around every call to
the helper?

Could be moved into the helper. Not sure how the inline function helps
readability or maintainability.

If the capping of len is handled by the caller, then pass an int to your
helper rather than an unsigned int to avoid problems later with
access_process_vm().

Odd style. If there is only one exit path, just call it out; if there
are two, keep them as out_mm and out.

Again my thought on this is to reduce get_task_mm() and mmput() calls.
How expensive are they, etc. However, just to recap the other email. If we
move to saying the audit cache of this can be capped at PATH_MAX even
if it results in some wasted memory, we can just take the original procfs code
and add a length argument.

Ok... just weird that lengths are signed to me. when will you ever have negative
space?

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's
cmdline value (proc/<pid>/cmdline). This is useful in situations
where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the
comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still
is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most
virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution,
many threads have thier comm field set as well. By tying it back to
the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more
complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this
is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android.
The cached cmdline is tied to the lifecycle of the audit_context
structure and is built on demand.

I sent out 3 patches on 12/2/2013. I didn't get any response. I thought I added the right people based on get_maintainers script.
Can anyone comment on these or point me in the right direction?
RGB, Can you at least ACK the audit subsystem patch " audit: Audit proc cmdline value"?
Thank you,
Bill

Subject: [PATCH] - auditing cmdline
This patch series relates to work started on the audit mailing list.
It eventually involved touching other modules, so I am trying to pull in those owners as well. In a nutshell I add new utility functions for accessing a processes cmdline value as displayed in proc/<self>/cmdline, and then refactor procfs to use the utility functions, and then add the ability to the audit subsystem to record this value.
Thanks for any feedback and help.
[PATCH 1/3] mm: Create utility functions for accessing a tasks
[PATCH 2/3] proc: Update get proc_pid_cmdline() to use mm.h helpers
[PATCH 3/3] audit: Audit proc cmdline value

Sigh...I sent this back out from another emai address and got bounced
from the lists... resending. Sorry for the cruft.
