init/main.c: Fix potential static_command_line memory overflow

2024-05-02T14:23:39+00:00

commit 46dad3c1e57897ab9228332f03e1c14798d2d3b9 upstream. We allocate memory of size 'xlen + strlen(boot_command_line) + 1' for static_command_line, but the strings copied into static_command_line are extra_command_line and command_line, rather than extra_command_line and boot_command_line. When strlen(command_line) > strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line will overflow. This patch just recovers strlen(command_line) which was miss-consolidated with strlen(boot_command_line) in the commit f5c7310ac73e ("init/main: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240412081733.35925-2-ytcoode@gmail.com/ Fixes: f5c7310ac73e ("init/main: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Yuntao Wang Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

init: open /initrd.image with O_LARGEFILE

commit 4624b346cf67400ef46a31771011fb798dd2f999 upstream. If initrd data is larger than 2Gb, we'll eventually fail to write to the /initrd.image file when we hit that limit, unless O_LARGEFILE is set.

rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given

2024-01-25T22:37:52+00:00

commit 21528c69a0d8483f7c6345b1a0bc8d8975e9a172 upstream. Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states: If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command line. This currently does not work when root= is provided since then saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore, ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided. The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs unspecified | ramfs | ramfs provided | ignored | ramfs rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given, as shown below: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before) provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before) provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new) provided | ramfs | ramfs (new) This table represents the new behavior.

x86/mm: Initialize text poking earlier

2023-08-08T17:57:39+00:00

commit 5b93a83649c7cba3a15eb7e8959b250841acb1b1 upstream. Move poking_init() up a bunch; specifically move it right after mm_init() which is right before ftrace_init(). This will allow simplifying ftrace text poking which currently has a bunch of exceptions for early boot.

init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier

2023-08-08T17:57:37+00:00

commit 9df9d2f0471b4c4702670380b8d8a45b40b23a7d upstream X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase. arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations, but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the required FPU register buffer. Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already. No functional change intended.

init: Provide arch_cpu_finalize_init()

2023-08-08T17:57:36+00:00

commit 7725acaa4f0c04fbefb0e0d342635b967bb7d414 upstream check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code. Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together.... Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function declaration and mostly empty header files for them. Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub inline otherwise. This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.

kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in Kconfig

2023-04-20T10:10:28+00:00

commit ba64beb17493a4bfec563100c86a462a15926f24 upstream. Documentation/process/changes.rst defines the minimum assembler version (binutils version), but we have never checked it in the build time. Kbuild never invokes 'as' directly because all assembly files in the kernel tree are *.S, hence must be preprocessed. I do not expect raw assembly source files (*.s) would be added to the kernel tree. Therefore, we always use $(CC) as the assembler driver, and commit aa824e0c962b ("kbuild: remove AS variable") removed 'AS'. However, we are still interested in the version of the assembler acting behind. As usual, the --version option prints the version string. $ as --version | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 But, we do not have $(AS). So, we can add the -Wa prefix so that $(CC) passes --version down to the backing assembler. $ gcc -Wa,--version | head -n 1 gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. OK, we need to input something to satisfy gcc. $ gcc -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 The combination of Clang and GNU assembler works in the same way: $ clang -no-integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 Clang with the integrated assembler fails like this: $ clang -integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 clang: error: unsupported argument '--version' to option 'Wa,' For the last case, checking the error message is fragile. If the proposal for -Wa,--version support [1] is accepted, this may not be even an error in the future. One easy way is to check if -integrated-as is present in the passed arguments. We did not pass -integrated-as to CLANG_FLAGS before, but we can make it explicit. Nathan pointed out -integrated-as is the default for all of the architectures/targets that the kernel cares about, but it goes along with "explicit is better than implicit" policy. [2] With all this in my mind, I implemented scripts/as-version.sh to check the assembler version in Kconfig time. $ scripts/as-version.sh gcc GNU 23501 $ scripts/as-version.sh clang -no-integrated-as GNU 23501 $ scripts/as-version.sh clang -integrated-as LLVM 0 [1]: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1320 [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/20210307044253.v3h47ucq6ng25iay@archlinux-ax161/ Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor [nathan: Backport to 5.10.
