From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

Binfmt_misc recognises the binary-type by matching some bytes +at the beginning of the file with a magic byte sequence (masking out specified +bits) you have supplied. Binfmt_misc can also recognise a filename extension +aka ``.com`` or ``.exe``. + +First you must mount binfmt_misc:: + + mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc + +To actually register a new binary type, you have to set up a string looking like +``:name:type:offset:magic:mask:interpreter:flags`` (where you can choose the +``:`` upon your needs) and echo it to ``/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register``. + +Here is what the fields mean: + +- ``name`` + is an identifier string. A new /proc file will be created with this + name below ``/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc``; cannot contain slashes ``/`` for + obvious reasons. +- ``type`` + is the type of recognition. Give ``M`` for magic and ``E`` for extension. +- ``offset`` + is the offset of the magic/mask in the file, counted in bytes. This + defaults to 0 if you omit it (i.e. you write ``:name:type::magic...``). + Ignored when using filename extension matching. +- ``magic`` + is the byte sequence binfmt_misc is matching for. The magic string + may contain hex-encoded characters like ``\x0a`` or ``\xA4``. Note that you + must escape any NUL bytes; parsing halts at the first one. In a shell + environment you might have to write ``\\x0a`` to prevent the shell from + eating your ``\``. + If you chose filename extension matching, this is the extension to be + recognised (without the ``.``, the ``\x0a`` specials are not allowed). + Extension matching is case sensitive, and slashes ``/`` are not allowed! +- ``mask`` + is an (optional, defaults to all 0xff) mask. You can mask out some + bits from matching by supplying a string like magic and as long as magic. + The mask is anded with the byte sequence of the file. Note that you must + escape any NUL bytes; parsing halts at the first one. Ignored when using + filename extension matching. +- ``interpreter`` + is the program that should be invoked with the binary as first + argument (specify the full path) +- ``flags`` + is an optional field that controls several aspects of the invocation + of the interpreter. It is a string of capital letters, each controls a + certain aspect. The following flags are supported: + + ``P`` - preserve-argv[0] + Legacy behavior of binfmt_misc is to overwrite + the original argv[0] with the full path to the binary. When this + flag is included, binfmt_misc will add an argument to the argument + vector for this purpose, thus preserving the original ``argv[0]``. + e.g. If your interp is set to ``/bin/foo`` and you run ``blah`` + (which is in ``/usr/local/bin``), then the kernel will execute + ``/bin/foo`` with ``argv[]`` set to ``["/bin/foo", "/usr/local/bin/blah", "blah"]``. The interp has to be aware of this so it can + execute ``/usr/local/bin/blah`` + with ``argv[]`` set to ``["blah"]``. + ``O`` - open-binary + Legacy behavior of binfmt_misc is to pass the full path + of the binary to the interpreter as an argument. When this flag is + included, binfmt_misc will open the file for reading and pass its + descriptor as an argument, instead of the full path, thus allowing + the interpreter to execute non-readable binaries. This feature + should be used with care - the interpreter has to be trusted not to + emit the contents of the non-readable binary. + ``C`` - credentials + Currently, the behavior of binfmt_misc is to calculate + the credentials and security token of the new process according to + the interpreter. When this flag is included, these attributes are + calculated according to the binary. It also implies the ``O`` flag. + This feature should be used with care as the interpreter + will run with root permissions when a setuid binary owned by root + is run with binfmt_misc. + ``F`` - fix binary + The usual behaviour of binfmt_misc is to spawn the + binary lazily when the misc format file is invoked. However, + this doesn't work very well in the face of mount namespaces and + changeroots, so the ``F`` mode opens the binary as soon as the + emulation is installed and uses the opened image to spawn the + emulator, meaning it is always available once installed, + regardless of how the environment changes. + + +There are some restrictions: + + - the whole register string may not exceed 1920 characters + - the magic must reside in the first 128 bytes of the file, i.e. + offset+size(magic) has to be less than 128 + - the interpreter string may not exceed 127 characters + +To use binfmt_misc you have to mount it first. You can mount it with +``mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc`` command, or you can add +a line ``none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc defaults 0 0`` to your +``/etc/fstab`` so it auto mounts on boot. + +You may want to add the binary formats in one of your ``/etc/rc`` scripts during +boot-up. Read the manual of your init program to figure out how to do this +right. + +Think about the order of adding entries! Later added entries are matched first! + + +A few examples (assumed you are in ``/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc``): + +- enable support for em86 (like binfmt_em86, for Alpha AXP only):: + + echo ':i386:M::\x7fELF\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x03:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfe\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfb\xff\xff:/bin/em86:' > register + echo ':i486:M::\x7fELF\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x06:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfe\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfb\xff\xff:/bin/em86:' > register + +- enable support for packed DOS applications (pre-configured dosemu hdimages):: + + echo ':DEXE:M::\x0eDEX::/usr/bin/dosexec:' > register + +- enable support for Windows executables using wine:: + + echo ':DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/local/bin/wine:' > register + +For java support see Documentation/admin-guide/java.rst + + +You can enable/disable binfmt_misc or one binary type by echoing 0 (to disable) +or 1 (to enable) to ``/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status`` or +``/proc/.../the_name``. +Catting the file tells you the current status of ``binfmt_misc/the_entry``. + +You can remove one entry or all entries by echoing -1 to ``/proc/.../the_name`` +or ``/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status``. + + +Hints +----- + +If you want to pass special arguments to your interpreter, you can +write a wrapper script for it. +See :doc:`Documentation/admin-guide/java.rst <./java>` for an example. + +Your interpreter should NOT look in the PATH for the filename; the kernel +passes it the full filename (or the file descriptor) to use. Using ``$PATH`` can +cause unexpected behaviour and can be a security hazard. + + +Richard Günther -- cgit v1.2.3
