powercap: restrict energy meter to root access

2020-11-10T20:10:28+00:00

commit 949dd0104c496fa7c14991a23c03c62e44637e71 upstream. Remove non-privileged user access to power data contained in /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl*/*/energy_uj Non-privileged users currently have read access to power data and can use this data to form a security attack. Some privileged drivers/applications need read access to this data, but don't expose it to non-privileged users. For example, thermald uses this data to ensure that power management works correctly. Thus removing non-privileged access is preferred over completely disabling this power reporting capability with CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL=n.

PowerCap: Fix an error code in powercap_register_zone()

2017-05-14T11:30:05+00:00

In the current code we accidentally return the successful result from idr_alloc() instead of a negative error pointer. The caller is looking for an error pointer and so it treats the returned value as a valid pointer. This one might be a bit serious because if it lets people get around the kernel's protection for remapping NULL. I'm not sure.

powercap: constify powercap_zone_ops and powercap_zone_constraint_ops structures

2016-01-01T23:29:35+00:00

The powercap_zone_ops and powercap_zone_constraint_ops structures are never modified, so declare them as const. Most of the actual changes adjust indentation to accomodate the const keyword. Done with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PowerCap: Fix mode for energy counter

2013-12-05T01:05:48+00:00

As per the documentation of powercap sysfs, energy_uj field is read only, if it can't be reset. Currently it always allows write but will fail, if there is no reset callback. Changing mode field, to read only if there is no reset callback. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada Reported-by: Dirk Brandewie Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PowerCap: Fix build error with option -Werror=format-security

2013-11-05T01:36:57+00:00

Fix compile error with gcc option: -Werror=format-security for dev_set_name(&control_type->dev, name). Changed to dev_set_name(&control_type->dev, "%s", name). Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PowerCap: Convert class code to use dev_groups

2013-10-25T21:16:31+00:00

The newly added power capping framework uses the obsolete .dev_attrs field of struct class. However this field will be removed in 3.13, so convert the code to use the .dev_groups field instead. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PowerCap: Add class driver

2013-10-16T22:36:06+00:00

The power capping framework providing a consistent interface between the kernel and user space that allows power capping drivers to expose their settings to user space in a uniform way. The overall design of the framework is described in the documentation added by the previous patch in this series. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada Signed-off-by: Jacob Pan Reviewed-by: Rafael J.
