drm/ioc32: stop speculation on the drm_compat_ioctl path

2026-04-02T06:24:55+00:00

The drm compat ioctl path takes a user controlled pointer, and then dereferences it into a table of function pointers, the signature method of spectre problems. Fix this up by calling array_index_nospec() on the index to the function pointer list.

drm: Remove locking for legacy ioctls and DRM_UNLOCKED

2023-12-06T09:08:32+00:00

Modern DRM drivers acquire ioctl locks by themselves. Legacy ioctls for user-space mode setting used to acquire drm_global_mutex. After removing the ioctl entry points, also remove the locking code. The only legacy ioctl without global locking was VBLANK_WAIT, which has been removed as well. Hence remove the related DRM_UNLOCKED flag.

drm: Remove entry points for legacy ioctls

DRM drivers with user-space mode setting have been removed in Linux v6.3. [1] Now remove the ioctl entry points for these drivers. Invoking any of the ioctl ops will unconditionally return -EINVAL to user space. This has already been the behavior for kernels without CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY set.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17+00:00

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

drm: Copy drm_wait_vblank to user before returning

2021-08-17T17:56:03+00:00

[Why] Userspace should get back a copy of drm_wait_vblank that's been modified even when drm_wait_vblank_ioctl returns a failure. Rationale: drm_wait_vblank_ioctl modifies the request and expects the user to read it back. When the type is RELATIVE, it modifies it to ABSOLUTE and updates the sequence to become current_vblank_count + sequence (which was RELATIVE), but now it became ABSOLUTE. drmWaitVBlank (in libdrm) expects this to be the case as it modifies the request to be Absolute so it expects the sequence to would have been updated. The change is in compat_drm_wait_vblank, which is called by drm_compat_ioctl. This change of copying the data back regardless of the return number makes it en par with drm_ioctl, which always copies the data before returning. [How] Return from the function after everything has been copied to user.

drm: Mark AGP implementation and ioctls as legacy

2021-05-10T13:46:58+00:00

Only UMs drivers use DRM's core AGP code and ioctls. Mark the icotls as legacy. Add the _legacy_ infix to all AGP functions. Move the declarations to the public and internal legacy header files. The agp field in struct drm_device is now located in the structure's legacy section. Adapt drivers to the changes. AGP code now depends on CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY.
