Indeed we could do this (for both DEBUG_RSEQ={y,n}), but it would add extra useless stores to those userspace fields on rseq registration, which is performed on every thread creation starting from glibc 2.35. The rseq_set_notify_resume() invoked at the end of registration ensures that those fields get populated before return to userspace. So I am not against a more robust approach, but I'm reluctant to add redundant work on thread creation. > > --- > --- a/include/linux/sched.h > +++ b/include/linux/sched.h > @@ -1364,6 +1364,15 @@ struct task_struct { > * with respect to preemption. > */ > unsigned long rseq_event_mask; > +# ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ > + /* > + * This is a place holder to save a copy of the rseq fields for > + * validation of read-only fields.

The rseq uapi requires cooperation between users of the rseq fields to ensure that all libraries and applications using rseq within a process do not interfere with each other. This is especially important for fields which are meant to be read-only from user-space, as documented in uapi/linux/rseq.h: - cpu_id_start, - cpu_id, - node_id, - mm_cid. Storing to those fields from a user-space library prevents any sharing of the rseq ABI with other libraries and applications, as other users are not aware that the content of those fields has been altered by a third-party library. This is unfortunately the current behavior of tcmalloc: it purposefully overlaps part of a cached value with the cpu_id_start upper bits to get notified about preemption, because the kernel clears those upper bits before returning to user-space. This behavior does not conform to the rseq uapi header ABI. This prevents tcmalloc from using rseq when rseq is registered by the GNU C library 2.35+. It requires tcmalloc users to disable glibc rseq registration with a glibc tunable, which is a sad state of affairs. Considering that tcmalloc and the GNU C library are the two first upstream projects using rseq, and that they are already incompatible due to use of this hack, adding kernel-level validation of all read-only fields content is necessary to ensure future users of rseq abide by the rseq ABI requirements. Validate that user-space does not corrupt the read-only fields and conform to the rseq uapi header ABI when the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y. This is done by storing a copy of the read-only fields in the task_struct, and validating the prior values present in user-space before updating them. If the values do not match, print a warning on the console (printk_ratelimited()). This is a first step to identify misuses of the rseq ABI by printing a warning on the console. After a giving some time to userspace to correct its use of rseq, the plan is to eventually terminate offending processes with SIGSEGV. This change is expected to produce warnings for the upstream tcmalloc implementation, but tcmalloc developers mentioned they were open to adapt their implementation to kernel-level change.
