Fix corruption of coredumps due to procstat notes changing size during
coredump generation. The changes in r287442 required some reworking
since the 'fo_fill_kinfo' file op does not exist in stable/10.
287442:
Detect badly behaved coredump note helpers
Coredump notes depend on being able to invoke dump routines twice; once
in a dry-run mode to get the size of the note, and another to actually
emit the note to the corefile.
When a note helper emits a different length section the second time
around than the length it requested the first time, the kernel produces
a corrupt coredump.
NT_PROCSTAT_FILES output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' fd table
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move around during dump, this is racy.
So:
- Detect badly behaved notes in putnote() and pad underfilled notes.
- Add a fail point, debug.fail_point.fill_kinfo_vnode__random_path to
exercise the NT_PROCSTAT_FILES corruption. It simply picks random
lengths to expand or truncate paths to in fo_fill_kinfo_vnode().
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_fileinfo, to allow users to
disable kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_FILES notes. This should avoid
both FILES note corruption and truncation, even if filenames change,
at the cost of about 1 kiB in padding bloat per open fd. Document
the new sysctl in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_files to self-limit in the 2nd pass. Since
sometimes this will result in a short write, pad up to our advertised
size. This addresses note corruption, at the risk of sometimes
truncating the last several fd info entries.
- Fix NT_PROCSTAT_FILES consumers libutil and libprocstat to grok the
zero padding.
287537:
Follow-up to r287442: Move sysctl to compiled-once file
Avoid duplicate sysctl nodes.
288944:
Fix core corruption caused by race in note_procstat_vmmap
This fix is spiritually similar to r287442 and was discovered thanks to
the KASSERT added in that revision.
NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' vm map
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move during coredump, this is racy.
We do not remove the race, only prevent it from causing coredump
corruption.
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_vmmapinfo, to allow users to disable
kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_VMMAP notes. This avoids VMMAP corruption
and truncation, even if names change, at the cost of up to PATH_MAX
bytes per mapped object. The new sysctl is documented in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_vmmap to self-limit in the second pass. This
addresses corruption, at the cost of sometimes producing a truncated
result.
- Fix PROCSTAT_VMMAP consumers libutil (and libprocstat, via copy-paste)
to grok the new zero padding.
