firmware: Fix security issue with request_firmware_into_buf()

2018-09-12T07:31:00+00:00

When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag
it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory.
But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is
added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests
a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above
mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's
firmware buffer.
Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors
or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests
when using request_firmware_into_buf.

Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE
is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.

Fixes: 0e742e9275 ("firmware: provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional")

memory_hotplug: fix kernel_panic on offline page processing

2018-09-04T23:45:02+00:00

Within show_valid_zones() the function test_pages_in_a_zone() should be
called for online memory blocks only.

Otherwise it might lead to the VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct
pages (when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS kernel option is set):

 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
 ------------[ cut here ]------------

That VM_BUG_ON was triggered by the page poisoning introduced in
mm/sparse.c with the git commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug:
optimize memory hotplug").

With the same commit the new 'nid' field has been added to the struct
memory_block in order to store and later on derive the node id for
offline pages (instead of accessing struct page which might be
uninitialized).  But one reference to nid in show_valid_zones() function
has been overlooked.  Fixed with current commit.  Also, nr_pages will
not be used any more after test_pages_in_a_zone() call, do not update
it.

mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_RO for architectures

2018-08-17T23:20:29+00:00

Some architectures do not define certain PAGE_KERNEL_* flags, this is
either because:

 a) The way to implement some of these flags is *not yet ported*, or
 b) The architecture *has no way* to describe them

Over time we have accumulated a few PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback workarounds
for architectures in the kernel which do not define them using
*relatively safe* equivalents.  Move these scattered fallback hacks into
asm-generic.

We start off with PAGE_KERNEL_RO using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback.  This
has been in place on the firmware loader for years.  Move the fallback
into the respective asm-generic header.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: drop unnecessary checks from register_mem_sect_under_node()

2018-08-17T23:20:29+00:00

Callers of register_mem_sect_under_node() are always passing a valid
memory_block (not NULL), so we can safely drop the check for NULL.

In the same way, register_mem_sect_under_node() is only called in case
the node is online, so we can safely remove that check as well.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: make register_mem_sect_under_node() a callback of walk_memory_range()

2018-08-17T23:20:29+00:00

link_mem_sections() and walk_memory_range() share most of the code, so
we can use convert link_mem_sections() into a dummy function that calls
walk_memory_range() with a callback to register_mem_sect_under_node().

This patch converts register_mem_sect_under_node() in order to match a
walk_memory_range's callback, getting rid of the check_nid argument and
checking instead if the system is still boothing, since we only have to
check for the nid if the system is in such state.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: call register_mem_sect_under_node()

2018-08-17T23:20:29+00:00

When hotplugging memory, it is possible that two calls are being made to
register_mem_sect_under_node().

One comes from __add_section()->hotplug_memory_register() and the other
from add_memory_resource()->link_mem_sections() if we had to register a
new node.

In case we had to register a new node, hotplug_memory_register() will
only handle/allocate the memory_block's since
register_mem_sect_under_node() will return right away because the node
it is not online yet.

I think it is better if we leave hotplug_memory_register() to
handle/allocate only memory_block's and make link_mem_sections() to call
register_mem_sect_under_node().

So this patch removes the call to register_mem_sect_under_node() from
hotplug_memory_register(), and moves the call to link_mem_sections() out
of the condition, so it will always be called.  In this way we only have
one place where the memory sections are registered.
