Why an applet can't be NOFORK or NOEXEC?
|
|
|
|
Why can't be NOFORK:
|
|
interactive: may wait for user input, ^C has to work
|
|
spawner: "tool PROG ARGS" which changes program state and execs - must fork
|
|
changes state: e.g. environment, signal handlers
|
|
leaks: does not free allocated memory or opened fds
|
|
alloc+xfunc: xmalloc, then xfunc - leaks memory if xfunc dies
|
|
open+xfunc: opens fd, then calls xfunc - fd is leaked if xfunc dies
|
|
talks to network/serial/etc: it's not known how long the delay can be,
|
|
it's reasonable to expect it might be many seconds
|
|
(even if usually it is not), so ^C has to work
|
|
runner: sometimes may run for long(ish) time, and/or works with network:
|
|
^C has to work (cat BIGFILE, chmod -R, ftpget, nc)
|
|
|
|
"runners" can become eligible after shell is taught ^C to interrupt NOFORKs,
|
|
need to be inspected that they do not fall into alloc+xfunc, open+xfunc,
|
|
leak categories.
|
|
|
|
Why can't be NOEXEC:
|
|
suid: runs under different uid - must fork+exec
|
|
if it's important that /proc/PID/cmdline and comm are correct.
|
|
("pkill sh" killing itself before it kills real "sh" is no fun)
|
|
|
|
Why shouldn't be NOFORK/NOEXEC:
|
|
rare: not started often enough to bother optimizing (example: poweroff)
|
|
daemon: runs indefinitely; these are also always fit "rare" category
|
|
longterm: often runs for a long time (many seconds), execing makes
|
|
memory footprint smaller
|
|
complex: no immediately obvious reason why NOFORK wouldn't work,
|
|
but does some non-obvoius operations (example: fuser, lsof, losetup);
|
|
detailed audit often turns out that it's a leaker
|
|
hardware: performs unusual hardware ops which may take long,
|
|
or even hang due to hardware or firmware bugs
|
|
|
|
Interesting example of "interactive" applet which is nevertheless can be
|
|
(and is) NOEXEC is "rm". Yes, "rm -i" is interactive - but it's not that typical
|
|
for users to keep it waiting for many minutes, whereas running "rm" in shell
|
|
is very typical, and speeding up this common use via NOEXEC is useful.
|
|
IOW: rm is "interactive", but not "longterm".
