proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

2020-02-04T03:05:26+00:00

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=> proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=> proc_ioctl

	xxx		=> proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

lockdown: Print current->comm in restriction messages

2019-08-20T04:54:17+00:00

Print the content of current->comm in messages generated by lockdown to
indicate a restriction that was hit.  This makes it a bit easier to find
out what caused the message.

The message now patterned something like:

        Lockdown: :  is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

lockdown: Lock down /proc/kcore

2019-08-20T04:54:16+00:00

Disallow access to /proc/kcore when the kernel is locked down to prevent
access to cryptographic data. This is limited to lockdown
confidentiality mode and is still permitted in integrity mode.

x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from kcore

2019-03-23T11:11:49+00:00

On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM,
/proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range. Accessing the GART range via
/proc/kcore results in a kernel crash.

vmcore used to have the same issue, until it was fixed with commit
2a3e83c6f96c ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")', leveraging
existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore return zeroes
when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it won't read from the
actual memory.

Apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook
infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook functions introduced in the
previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some functions
for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure a bit as there
is no module usage yet.

fs/proc/kcore.c: fix invalid memory access in multi-page read optimization

2018-09-20T20:01:11+00:00

The 'm' kcore_list item could point to kclist_head, and it is incorrect to
look at m->addr / m->size in this case.

There is no choice but to run through the list of entries for every
address if we did not find any entry in the previous iteration

Reset 'm' to NULL in that case at Omar Sandoval's suggestion.

proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/kcore

2018-08-22T17:52:46+00:00

The vmcoreinfo information is useful for runtime debugging tools, not just
for crash dumps.  A lot of this information can be determined by other
means, but this is much more convenient, and it only adds a page at most
to the file.
