[PATCH RFC v3 00/10] extensible syscalls: CHECK_FIELDS to allow for easier feature detection
This is something that I've been thinking about for a while. We had a discussion at LPC 2020 about this[1] but the proposals suggested there never materialised.
In short, it is quite difficult for userspace to detect the feature capability of syscalls at runtime. This is something a lot of programs want to do, but they are forced to create elaborate scenarios to try to figure out if a feature is supported without causing damage to the system. For the vast majority of cases, each individual feature also needs to be tested individually (because syscall results are all-or-nothing), so testing even a single syscall's feature set can easily inflate the startup time of programs.
This patchset implements the fairly minimal design I proposed in this talk[2] and in some old LKML threads (though I can't find the exact references ATM). The general flow looks like:
1. Userspace will indicate to the kernel that a syscall should a be no-op by setting the top bit of the extensible struct size argument.
We will almost certainly never support exabyte sized structs, so the top bits are free for us to use as makeshift flag bits. This is preferable to using the per-syscall flag field inside the structure because seccomp can easily detect the bit in the flag and allow the probe or forcefully return -EEXTSYS_NOOP.
2. The kernel will then fill the provided structure with every valid bit pattern that the current kernel understands.
For flags or other bitflag-like fields, this is the set of valid flags or bits. For pointer fields or fields that take an arbitrary value, the field has every bit set (0xFF... to fill the field) to indicate that any value is valid in the field.
3. The syscall then returns -EEXTSYS_NOOP which is an errno that will only ever be used for this purpose (so userspace can be sure that the request succeeded).
On older kernels, the syscall will return a different error (usually -E2BIG or -EFAULT) and userspace can do their old-fashioned checks.
4. Userspace can then check which flags and fields are supported by looking at the fields in the returned structure. Flags are checked by doing an AND with the flags field, and field support can checked by comparing to 0. In principle you could just AND the entire structure if you wanted to do this check generically without caring about the structure contents (this is what libraries might consider doing).
Userspace can even find out the internal kernel structure size by passing a PAGE_SIZE buffer and seeing how many bytes are non-zero.
As with copy_struct_from_user(), this is designed to be forward- and backwards- compatible.
This allows programas to get a one-shot understanding of what features a syscall supports without having to do any elaborate setups or tricks to detect support for destructive features. Flags can simply be ANDed to check if they are in the supported set, and fields can just be checked to see if they are non-zero.
This patchset is IMHO the simplest way we can add the ability to introspect the feature set of extensible struct (copy_struct_from_user) syscalls. It doesn't preclude the chance of a more generic mechanism being added later.
The intended way of using this interface to get feature information looks something like the following (imagine that openat2 has gained a new field and a new flag in the future):
static bool openat2_no_automount_supported; static bool openat2_cwd_fd_supported;
int check_openat2_support(void) { int err; struct open_how how = {};
err = openat2(AT_FDCWD, ".", &how, CHECK_FIELDS | sizeof(how)); assert(err < 0); switch (errno) { case EFAULT: case E2BIG: /* Old kernel... */ check_support_the_old_way(); break; case EEXTSYS_NOOP: openat2_no_automount_supported = (how.flags & RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT); openat2_cwd_fd_supported = (how.cwd_fd != 0); break; } }
This series adds CHECK_FIELDS support for the following extensible struct syscalls, as they are quite likely to grow flags in the near future:
* openat2 * clone3 * mount_setattr

Best regards,
This is based on copy_struct_from_user(), but there is one additional case to consider when creating a syscall that returns an extensible-struct to userspace -- how should data in the struct that cannot fit into the userspace struct be handled (ksize > usize)?
There are three possibilies:
1. The interface is like sched_getattr(2), where new information will be silently not provided to userspace. This is probably what most interfaces will want to do, as it provides the most possible backwards-compatibility.
2. The interface is like lsm_list_modules(2), where you want to return an error like -EMSGSIZE if not providing information could result in the userspace program making a serious mistake (such as one that could lead to a security problem) or if you want to provide some flag to userspace so they know that they are missing some information.
3. The interface is like statx(2), where there some kind of a request mask that indicates what data userspace would like. One could imagine that statx2(2) (using extensible structs) would want to return -EMSGSIZE if the user explicitly requested a field that their structure is too small to fit, but not return an error if the field was not explicitly requested. This is kind of a mix between (1) and (2) based on the requested mask.
The copy_struct_to_user() helper includes a an extra argument that is used to return a boolean flag indicating whether there was a non-zero byte in the trailing bytes that were not copied to userspace. This can be used in the following ways to handle all three cases, respectively:
1. Just pass NULL, as you don't care about this case.
2. Return an error (say -EMSGSIZE) if the argument was set to true by copy_struct_to_user().
3. If the argument was set to true by copy_struct_to_user(), check if there is a flag that implies a field larger than usize.
This is the only case where callers of copy_struct_to_user() should check usize themselves. This will probably require scanning an array that specifies what flags were added for each version of the flags struct and returning an error if the request mask matches any of the flags that were added in versions of the struct that are larger than usize.
At the moment we don't have any users of (3), so this patch doesn't include any helpers to make the necessary scanning easier, but it should be fairly easy to add some if necessary.

* Aleksa Sarai:
sched_getattr(2) doesn't care about trailing non-zero bytes in the (ksize > usize) case, so just use copy_struct_to_user() without checking ignored_trailing.
I think this is what causes glibc's misc/tst-sched_setattr test to fail on recent kernels. The previous non-modifying behavior was documented in the manual page:
If the caller-provided attr buffer is larger than the kernel's sched_attr structure, the additional bytes in the user-space structure are not touched.
I can just drop this part of the test if the kernel deems both behaviors valid.
Thanks, Florian

I think in general both behaviors are valid but I would consider zeroing the unknown parts of the provided buffer to be the safer option. And all newer extensible struct system calls do that.
But if sched_getattr(2) wants to keep its old behavior it wouldn't be a problem to just handle this case:

While we do currently return -EFAULT in this case, it seems prudent to follow the behaviour of other syscalls like clone3. It seems quite unlikely that anyone depends on this error code being EFAULT, but we can always revert this if it turns out to be an issue.

[03/10] openat2: explicitly return -E2BIG for (usize > PAGE_SIZE) https://git.kernel.org/vfs/vfs/c/f92f0a1b0569
In order for userspace to be able to know what flags and fields the kernel supports, it is currently necessary for them to do a bunch of fairly subtle self-checks where you need to get a syscall to return a non-EINVAL error or no-op for each flag you wish to use. If you get -EINVAL you know the flag is unsupported, otherwise you know it is supported.
This doesn't scale well for programs that need to check many flags, and not all syscalls can be easily checked (how would you check for new flags for umount2 or clone3 without side-effects?). To solve this problem, we can take advantage of the extensible struct API used by copy_struct_from_user() by providing a special CHECK_FIELDS flag to extensible struct syscalls (like openat2 and clone3) which will:
1. Cause the syscall to fill the structure with every valid bit the kernel understands. For flag arguments, this is the set of all valid flag bits. For pointer and file descriptor arguments, this would be all 0xFF bits (to indicate that any bits are valid). Userspace can then easily check whether the flag they wanted is supported (by doing a simple bitwise AND) or if a field itself is supported (by checking if it is non-zero / all 0xFF).
2. Return a specific no-op error (-EEXTSYS_NOOP) that is not used as an error by any other kernel code, so that userspace can be absolutely sure that the kernel supports CHECK_FIELDS.
Rather than passing CHECK_FIELDS using the standard flags arguments for the syscall, CHECK_FIELDS is instead the highest bit in the provided struct size. The high bits of the size are never going to be non-zero (we currently only allow size to be up to PAGE_SIZE, and it seems very unlikely we will ever allow several exabyte structure arguments).
By passing the flag in the structure size, we can be sure that old kernels will return a consistent error code (-EFAULT in openat2's case) and that seccomp can properly filter this syscall mode (which is guaranteed to be a no-op on all kernels -- it could even force -EEXTSYS_NOOP to make the userspace program think the kernel doesn't support any syscall features).
The intended way of using this interface to get feature information looks something like the following (imagine that openat2 has gained a new field and a new flag in the future):
static bool openat2_no_automount_supported; static bool openat2_cwd_fd_supported;
int check_openat2_support(void) { int err; struct open_how how = {};
err = openat2(AT_FDCWD, ".", &how, CHECK_FIELDS | sizeof(how)); assert(err < 0); switch (errno) { case EFAULT: case E2BIG: /* Old kernel... */ check_support_the_old_way(); break; case EEXTSYS_NOOP: openat2_no_automount_supported = (how.flags & RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT); openat2_cwd_fd_supported = (how.cwd_fd != 0); break; } }

We should also verify that poisoned data after a misaligned struct is also handled correctly by is_zeroed_user(). This test passes with no kernel changes needed, so is_zeroed_user() was correct already.

As with openat2(2), this allows userspace to easily figure out what flags and fields are supported by clone3(2). For fields which are not flag-based, we simply set every bit in the field so that a naive bitwise-and would show that any value of the field is valid.
For args->exit_signal, since we have an explicit bitmask for the field defined already (CSIGNAL) we can indicate that only those bits are supported by current kernels. If we add some extra bits to exit_signal in the future, being able to detect them as new features would be quite useful.
The intended way of using this interface to get feature information looks something like the following:
static bool clone3_clear_sighand_supported; static bool clone3_cgroup_supported;
int check_clone3_support(void) { int err; struct clone_args args = {};
err = clone3(&args, CHECK_FIELDS | sizeof(args)); assert(err < 0); switch (errno) { case EFAULT: case E2BIG: /* Old kernel... */ check_support_the_old_way(); break; case EEXTSYS_NOOP: clone3_clear_sighand_supported = (how.flags & CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND); clone3_cgroup_supported = (how.flags & CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) && (how.cgroup != 0); break; } }

As with openat2(2), this allows userspace to easily figure out what flags and fields are supported by mount_setattr(2). As with clone3(2), for fields which are not flag-based, we simply set every bit in the field so that a naive bitwise-and would show that any value of the field is valid.
The intended way of using this interface to get feature information looks something like the following:
static bool mountattr_nosymfollow_supported; static bool mountattr_idmap_supported;
int check_clone3_support(void) { int err; struct mount_attr attr = {};
err = mount_attr(-EBADF, "", 0, &args, CHECK_FIELDS | sizeof(args)); assert(err < 0); switch (errno) { case EFAULT: case E2BIG: /* Old kernel... */ check_support_the_old_way(); break; case EEXTSYS_NOOP: mountattr_nosymfollow_supported = ((attr.attr_clr | attr.attr_set) & MOUNT_ATTR_NOSYMFOLLOW); mountattr_idmap_supported = ((attr.attr_clr | attr.attr_set) & MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP) && (attr.userns_fd != 0); break; } }

While we're at it -- to make testing for error codes with ASSERT_* easier, make the sys_* wrappers return -errno in case of an error.
For some reason, the <sys/sysinfo.h> include doesn't correct import <asm/posix_types.h>, leading to compilation errors -- so just import <asm/posix_types.h> manually.

* Aleksa Sarai:
This is something that I've been thinking about for a while. We had a discussion at LPC 2020 about this[1] but the proposals suggested there never materialised.
In short, it is quite difficult for userspace to detect the feature capability of syscalls at runtime. This is something a lot of programs want to do, but they are forced to create elaborate scenarios to try to figure out if a feature is supported without causing damage to the system. For the vast majority of cases, each individual feature also needs to be tested individually (because syscall results are all-or-nothing), so testing even a single syscall's feature set can easily inflate the startup time of programs.
This patchset implements the fairly minimal design I proposed in this talk[2] and in some old LKML threads (though I can't find the exact references ATM). The general flow looks like:
By the way, I have recently tried to document things from a glibc perspective (which is a bit broader because we also have purely userspace types):
[PATCH RFC] manual: Document how types change https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/8734m4n1ij.fsf@oldenburg3.str.redhat.com/
(This patch has not yet been reviewed.)

I think the copy_struct_to_user() is useful especially now that we'll gain another user with pidfd_info.

I think the copy_struct_to_user() is useful especially now that we'll gain another user with pidfd_info.
Once we start extending pidfd_info, it might be necessary to add some more helpers to make it easier to figure out what bits to set in the returned request mask.
