tpm: Make the TPM character devices non-seekable

2026-07-24T14:21:07+00:00

commit f20d61c22bcaf172d6790b6500e3838e532e71c8 upstream.

The TPM character devices expose a sequential command/response
interface, but their open handlers leave FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE
enabled.

After a command leaves a response pending, pread(fd, buf, 16, 0x1400)
passes 0x1400 as *off to tpm_common_read(). The transfer length is
bounded by response_length, but the offset is used unchecked when
forming data_buffer + *off. A sufficiently large offset therefore causes
an out-of-bounds heap read through copy_to_user() and, if the copy
succeeds, an out-of-bounds zero-write through the following memset().

Positional I/O does not provide coherent semantics for this interface.
An arbitrary pread offset cannot represent how much of a response has
been consumed sequentially. The write callback always stores a command
at the start of data_buffer, while pwrite() does not update file->f_pos
and can leave the sequential read cursor stale.

Call nonseekable_open() from both open handlers. This removes
FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE, causing positional reads and writes to
fail with -ESPIPE before reaching the TPM callbacks, and explicitly
marks the files non-seekable. Normal read() and write() continue to use
the existing sequential f_pos cursor, leaving the response state machine
unchanged.

Tested on Linux 6.12 with KASAN and a swtpm TPM2 device:

 - sequential partial reads returned the complete response
 - pread() and preadv() with offset 0x1400 returned -ESPIPE
 - pwrite() and pwritev() with offset zero returned -ESPIPE
 - the pending response remained intact after the rejected operations
 - a subsequent normal command/response cycle completed normally
 - no KASAN report was produced.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

tpm: Unify the mismatching TPM space buffer sizes

2020-07-24T06:26:23+00:00

The size of the buffers for storing context's and sessions can vary from
arch to arch as PAGE_SIZE can be anything between 4 kB and 256 kB (the
maximum for PPC64). Define a fixed buffer size set to 16 kB. This should be
enough for most use with three handles (that is how many we allow at the
moment). Parametrize the buffer size while doing this, so that it is easier
to revisit this later on if required.

tpm: add support for nonblocking operation

2018-10-05T10:47:33+00:00

Currently the TPM driver only supports blocking calls, which doesn't allow
asynchronous IO operations to the TPM hardware.
This patch changes it and adds support for nonblocking write and a new poll
function to enable applications, which want to take advantage of this.

tpm2: add session handle context saving and restoring to the space code

2017-04-03T19:46:02+00:00

Sessions are different from transient objects in that their handles
may not be virtualized (because they're used for some hmac
calculations).  Additionally when a session is context saved, a
vestigial memory remains in the TPM and if it is also flushed, that
will be lost and the session context will refuse to load next time, so
the code is updated to flush only transient objects after a context
save.  Add a separate array (chip->session_tbl) to save and restore
sessions by handle.  Use the failure of a context save or load to
signal that the session has been flushed from the TPM and we can
remove its memory from chip->session_tbl.

Sessions are also isolated during each instance of a tpm space.  This
means that spaces shouldn't be able to see each other's sessions and
is enforced by ensuring that a space user may only refer to sessions
handles that are present in their own chip->session_tbl.  Finally when
a space is closed, all the sessions belonging to it should be flushed
so the handles may be re-used by other spaces.

Note that if we get a session save or load error, all sessions are
effectively flushed.  Even though we restore the session buffer, all
the old sessions will refuse to load after the flush and they'll be
purged from our session memory.  This means that while transient
context handling is still soft in the face of errors, session handling
is hard (any failure of the model means all sessions are lost).
