selftests: Move networking/timestamping from Documentation

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 3d2c86e3057995270e08693231039d9d942871f0 upstream. Remove networking from Documentation Makefile to move the test to selftests. Update networking/timestamping Makefile to work under selftests. These tests will not be run as part of selftests suite and will not be included in install targets. They can be built and run separately for now. This is part of the effort to move runnable code from Documentation.

rocker: fix rocker_tlv_put_* functions for KASAN

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 6098d7ddd62f532f80ee2a4b01aca500a8e4e9e4 upstream. Inlining these functions creates lots of stack variables that each take 64 bytes when KASAN is enabled, leading to this warning about potential stack overflow: drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker_ofdpa.c: In function 'ofdpa_cmd_flow_tbl_add': drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker_ofdpa.c:621:1: error: the frame size of 2752 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] gcc-8 can now consolidate the stack slots itself, but on older versions we get the same behavior by using a temporary variable that holds a copy of the inline function argument.

staging: speakup: Replace strncpy with memcpy

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit fd29edc7232bc19f969e8f463138afc5472b3d5f upstream. gcc 8.1.0 generates the following warnings. drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c: In function 'punc_store': drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:522:2: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:504:6: note: length computed here drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c: In function 'synth_store': drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:391:2: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:388:8: note: length computed here Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy() with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.

matroxfb: fix size of memcpy

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 59921b239056fb6389a865083284e00ce0518db6 upstream. hw->DACreg has a size of 80 bytes and MGADACbpp32 has 21. So when memcpy copies MGADACbpp32 to hw->DACreg it copies 80 bytes but only 21 bytes are valid. Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN

commit 3cd890dbe2a4f14cc44c85bb6cf37e5e22d4dd0e upstream. A typical code fragment was copied across many dvb-frontend drivers and causes large stack frames when built with with CONFIG_KASAN on gcc-5/6/7: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c:3225:1: error: the frame size of 3992 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c:3404:1: error: the frame size of 3136 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:3143:1: error: the frame size of 4016 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3430:1: error: the frame size of 5312 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:4248:1: error: the frame size of 4872 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] gcc-8 now solves this by consolidating the stack slots for the argument variables, but on older compilers we can get the same behavior by taking the pointer of a local variable rather than the inline function argument.

proc: do not access cmdline nor environ from file-backed areas

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 7f7ccc2ccc2e70c6054685f5e3522efa81556830 upstream. proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the underlying device is slow to respond. Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions. For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures (including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not changed though. This was assigned CVE-2018-1120. Note for stable backports: the patch may apply to kernels prior to 4.11 but silently miss one location; it must be checked that no call to access_remote_vm() keeps zero as the last argument.

proc: don't use FOLL_FORCE for reading cmdline and environment

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 272ddc8b37354c3fe111ab26d25e792629148eee upstream. Now that Lorenzo cleaned things up and made the FOLL_FORCE users explicit, it becomes obvious how some of them don't really need FOLL_FORCE at all. So remove FOLL_FORCE from the proc code that reads the command line and arguments from user space. The mem_rw() function actually does want FOLL_FORCE, because gdd (and possibly many other debuggers) use it as a much more convenient version of PTRACE_PEEKDATA, but we should consider making the FOLL_FORCE part conditional on actually being a ptracer. This does not actually do that, just moves adds a comment to that effect and moves the gup_flags settings next to each other.

mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

2018-12-17T20:55:17+00:00

commit 6347e8d5bcce33fc36e651901efefbe2c93a43ef upstream. This removes the 'write' argument from access_remote_vm() and replaces it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag. We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
