tty: ldisc: add sysctl to prevent autoloading of ldiscs

2019-04-17T06:38:47+00:00

commit 7c0cca7c847e6e019d67b7d793efbbe3b947d004 upstream. By default, the kernel will automatically load the module of any line dicipline that is asked for. As this sometimes isn't the safest thing to do, provide a sysctl to disable this feature. By default, we set this to 'y' as that is the historical way that Linux has worked, and we do not want to break working systems. But in the future, perhaps this can default to 'n' to prevent this functionality. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

proc: introduce proc_create_seq{,_data}

tty: Use __GFP_NOFAIL for tty_ldisc_get()

2018-04-25T13:03:44+00:00

syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600 ("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation failure.

tty: Don't call panic() at tty_ldisc_init()

2018-04-23T09:05:52+00:00

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get() and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init() does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

tty: Avoid possible error pointer dereference at tty_ldisc_restore().

2018-04-23T09:05:52+00:00

syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON() due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger an OOPS by dereferencing old->ops->num if IS_ERR(old) == true. We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old->ops->num, N_TTY, N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error pointer dereference. If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for tty_ldisc_restore() case.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/

2017-11-08T12:08:12+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

tty: fall back to N_NULL if switching to N_TTY fails during hangup

2017-10-13T23:18:33+00:00

We have seen NULL-pointer dereference crashes in tty->disc_data when the N_TTY fallback driver failed to open during hangup. The immediate cause of this open to fail has been addressed in the preceding patch to vmalloc(), but this code could be more robust. As Alan pointed out in commit 8a8dabf2dd68 ("tty: handle the case where we cannot restore a line discipline"), the N_TTY driver, historically the safe fallback that could never fail, can indeed fail, but the surrounding code is not prepared to handle this. To avoid crashes he added a new N_NULL driver to take N_TTY's place as the last resort. Hook that fallback up to the hangup path. Update tty_ldisc_reinit() to reflect the reality that n_tty_open can indeed fail.
