netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinations

It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to
it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and
inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack.

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and
the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network
stack.

Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg
and creates it's socket without any privileges.

To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the
socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead
rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket.

Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment
clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone
else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a
better fix since 3.15 is almost here.

Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of
patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181),
but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra. The offending series
includes:

net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages

If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's
probably worth backporting it and this patch. if that series is
present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

netlink: have netlink per-protocol bind function return an error code.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code
rather than void to signal a failure.

This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including
capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in
multicast groups.

In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind
function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to
the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind
function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check
permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid
the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function
fail.

The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the
per-protocol bind function.

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is
really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult
to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application.

This patch adds an automatic learning of the size.

First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used
bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB.

This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe
for legacy applications.

netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmon

In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector,
fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint
of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the
notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user".

At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have
set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use
that for netlink_is_kernel() probing.

In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the
packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast
(PACKET_BROADCAST), etc.

As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of
PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel
and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never
exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such
kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both
PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic.

By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they
can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously
unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have
these two directions:

- PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space
- PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space

Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with
detected nl msg direction:

syscall: direction:
sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */
sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
msg->msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

* skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb.

This was spotted by trinity:

Fix it by:

1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input,
that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle
the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path.

2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find
any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path,
moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling.

I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are
not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found
seems to be the fib frontend.

netlink: Add compare function for netlink_table

As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of
net namespace, they can communicate with each other
only when they in the same net namespace. this works
well until we try to add namespace support for other
subsystems which use netlink.

Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to
make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as
audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to
user namespace.

So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets
in same user namespace can communicate with each other.

This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for
netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can
communicate with each other through this netlink_table
self-defined compare function.

The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare
function for netlink_table.

netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space

I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is
composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of
skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that.

While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy,
we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied
atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach.
However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us
to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without
hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is
using vmalloc.

This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in
the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory
requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case
for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.
