drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()

2017-05-18T14:53:55+00:00

/dev/mem currently allows mmap() mappings that wrap around the end of
the physical address space, which should probably be illegal. It
circumvents the existing STRICT_DEVMEM permission check because the loop
immediately terminates (as the start address is already higher than the
end address). On the x86_64 architecture it will then cause a panic
(from the BUG(start >= end) in arch/x86/mm/pat.c:reserve_memtype()).

This patch adds an explicit check to make sure offset + size will not
wrap around in the physical address type.

char: lp: fix possible integer overflow in lp_setup()

2017-05-16T21:05:20+00:00

The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing
"lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the
parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.

Merge tag 'hwparam-20170420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

2017-05-11T02:13:03+00:00

Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
 "Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
  including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.

  This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
  parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
  to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
  UEFI secure boot conditions.

  Annotations are made by changing:

        module_param(n, t, p)
        module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
        module_param_array(n, t, m, p)

  to:

        module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
        module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
        module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)

  where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting

  hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
  be one of:

        ioport          Module parameter configures an I/O port
        iomem           Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
        ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
        irq             Module parameter configures an I/O port
        dma             Module parameter configures a DMA channel
        dma_addr        Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
        other           Module parameter configures some other value

  Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
  lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for
  future use.

  A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.

  The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
  annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
  options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
  direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files.

  The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being
  set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a
  reasonable default.

  What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may
  take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important
  modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and
  allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with
  any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware.

  Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
  doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.

  [!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
      effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is
      left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark
      annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in
      an already existing field"

format-security: move static strings to const

2017-05-09T00:15:14+00:00

While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer.  This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.

As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.

This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.
