Maciej Żenczykowski 05665fed98 BACKPORT: FROMLIST: net: introduce ip_local_unbindable_ports sysctl
and associated inet_is_local_unbindable_port() helper function:
use it to make explicitly binding to an unbindable port return
-EPERM 'Operation not permitted'.

Autobind doesn't honour this new sysctl since:
  (a) you can simply set both if that's the behaviour you desire
  (b) there could be a use for preventing explicit while allowing auto
  (c) it's faster in the relatively critical path of doing port selection
      during connect() to only check one bitmap instead of both

Various ports may have special use cases which are not suitable for
use by general userspace applications. Currently, ports specified in
ip_local_reserved_ports sysctl will not be returned only in case of
automatic port assignment, but nothing prevents you from explicitly
binding to them - even from an entirely unprivileged process.

In certain cases it is desirable to prevent the host from assigning the
ports even in case of explicit binds, even from superuser processes.

Example use cases might be:
 - a port being stolen by the nic for remote serial console, remote
   power management or some other sort of debugging functionality
   (crash collection, gdb, direct access to some other microcontroller
   on the nic or motherboard, remote management of the nic itself).
 - a transparent proxy where packets are being redirected: in case
   a socket matches this connection, packets from this application
   would be incorrectly sent to one of the endpoints.

Initially I wanted to solve this problem via the simple one line:

static inline bool inet_port_requires_bind_service(struct net *net, unsigned short port) {
-       return port < net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_prot_sock;
+       return port < net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_prot_sock || inet_is_local_reserved_port(net, port);
}

However, this doesn't work for two reasons:
  (a) it changes userspace visible behaviour of the existing local
      reserved ports sysctl, and there appears to be enough documentation
      on the internet talking about setting it to make this a bad idea
  (b) it doesn't prevent privileged apps from using these ports,
      CAP_BIND_SERVICE is relatively likely to be available to, for example,
      a recursive DNS server so it can listed on port 53, which also needs
      to do src port randomization for outgoing queries due to security
      reasons (and it thus does manual port binding).

If we *know* that certain ports are simply unusable, then it's better
nothing even gets the opportunity to try to use them.  This way we at
least get a quick failure, instead of some sort of timeout (or possibly
even corruption of the data stream of the non-kernel based use case).

Test:
  vm:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports

  vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
  vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
  vm:~# echo 3967 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports
  vm:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports
  3967
  vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
  socket.error: (1, 'Operation not permitted')
  vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
  socket.error: (1, 'Operation not permitted')

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
    - then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>
  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

        Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

Requirements for Android-specific patches: ANDROID:

  • If the patch is fixing a bug to Android-specific code
    • tag the patch subject with ANDROID:
    • add a Fixes: tag that cites the patch with the bug
    • Example:
