Subject[PATCH v7] Added PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA option for prctl()
Date
ChangeLog
v6 -> v7
- Fixed some nit. [as Ingo mentioned]
v5 -> v6
- Remove arg_lock. Instead, use map_sem. [as Oleg pointed out]
- Use access_process_vm_locked
v4 -> v5
- nit: kill duplicate calculation in prctl()
v3 -> v4
- Use mutex instead seq_lock.

========================================

Currently glibc2 doesn't have setproctitle(3), so several userland
daemons attempt to emulate it by doing some brutal stack modifications.
This works most of the time, but it has problems. For example:

% ps -ef |grep avahi-daemon
avahi 1679 1 0 09:20 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [kosadesk.local]

# cat /proc/1679/cmdline
avahi-daemon: running [kosadesk.local]

This looks good, but the process has also overwritten its environment
area and made the environ file useless:

# cat /proc/1679/environ
adesk.local]

Another problem is that the process title length is limited by the size of
the environment. Security conscious people try to avoid potential information
leaks by clearing most of the environment before running a daemon:

# env - MINIMUM_NEEDED_VAR=foo /path/to/daemon

The resulting environment size may be too small to fit the wanted process
titles.

This patch makes it possible for userspace to implement setproctitle()
cleanly. It adds a new PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA option for prctl(), which
updates task's mm_struct->arg_start and arg_end to the given area.

test_setproctitle.c
================================================
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>

#define ERR(str) (perror(str), exit(1))

void settitle(char* title){
int err;

err = prctl(35, title, strlen(title)+1);
if (err < 0)
ERR("prctl ");
}

void main(void){
long i;
char buf[1024];

for (i = 0; i < 10000000000LL; i++){
sprintf(buf, "loooooooooooooooooooooooong string %d",i);
settitle(buf);
}
}
==================================================
