Drivers: misc: fix out-of-bounds access in function param_set_kgdbts_var

There is an out-of-bounds access to "config[len - 1]" array when the variable "len" is zero. See commit dada6a43b040 ("kgdboc: fix KASAN global-out-of-bounds bug in param_set_kgdboc_var()") for details. Signed-off-by: Young Xiao Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: kgdbts: Display progress of asynchronous tests

2018-01-25T14:40:17+00:00

kgdbts includes a couple of different "thrashing" style tests that may have long runtimes (especially on simulated platforms) and which run asynchronously. This is uncomfortable for interactive use and makes setting timeouts tricky for automatic use. Fix by providing a optional means to show progress during these tests. Selecting 100 is somewhat arbitrary but it matches the step used on the synchronous tests, is large enough to keep the call to printk from invalidating the testing and is human enough to "feel about right".

treewide: Fix function prototypes for module_param_call()

2017-10-31T14:30:37+00:00

Several function prototypes for the set/get functions defined by module_param_call() have a slightly wrong argument types. This fixes those in an effort to clean up the calls when running under type-enforced compiler instrumentation for CFI. This is the result of running the following semantic patch: @match_module_param_call_function@ declarer name module_param_call; identifier _name, _set_func, _get_func; expression _arg, _mode; @@ module_param_call(_name, _set_func, _get_func, _arg, _mode); @fix_set_prototype depends on match_module_param_call_function@ identifier match_module_param_call_function._set_func; identifier _val, _param; type _val_type, _param_type; @@ int _set_func( -_val_type _val +const char * _val , -_param_type _param +const struct kernel_param * _param ) { ... } @fix_get_prototype depends on match_module_param_call_function@ identifier match_module_param_call_function._get_func; identifier _val, _param; type _val_type, _param_type; @@ int _get_func( -_val_type _val +char * _val , -_param_type _param +const struct kernel_param * _param ) { ... } Two additional by-hand changes are included for places where the above Coccinelle script didn't notice them: drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c fs/lockd/svc.c Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

drivers/misc: make kgdbts.c slightly more explicitly non-modular

2015-09-21T02:32:35+00:00

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: lib/Kconfig.kgdb:config KGDB_TESTS lib/Kconfig.kgdb: bool "KGDB: internal test suite" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information is already contained at the top of the file in the comments. We can't remove the module.h include since we've kept the use of module_param in this file for now.

clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic

2015-06-26T00:00:38+00:00

clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system call entry point across architectures. The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt into this. These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if anyone would prefer that. This patch (of 2): clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls in). Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific position of the tls argument. However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments. Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into, and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass that down to copy_thread_tls. Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone syscall.

kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64

2013-03-02T14:52:17+00:00

We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply via that function symbol for all architectures. For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure. A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains the following values: * The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of the function. * The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for the function. * The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for languages such as Pascal and PL/1. So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get the address of the entry point of the function. Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to "include/asm-generic/sections.h" since: dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition.

x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()

2012-03-29T22:41:25+00:00

There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all the way back to 2.6.36. The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly. The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function. The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break point removal routine will get called later on. Cc: x86@kernel.org Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: H.
