mm: update shmem_[kernel]_file_*() functions to use vma_flags_t

2026-02-12T23:42:58+00:00

In order to be able to use only vma_flags_t in vm_area_desc we must adjust shmem file setup functions to operate in terms of vma_flags_t rather than vm_flags_t. This patch makes this change and updates all callers to use the new functions. No functional changes intended.

big_keys: Use struct for internal payload

2022-05-16T23:02:21+00:00

The randstruct GCC plugin gets upset when it sees struct path (which is randomized) being assigned from a "void *" (which it cannot type-check). There's no need for these casts, as the entire internal payload use is following a normal struct layout. Convert the enum-based void * offset dereferencing to the new big_key_payload struct. No meaningful machine code changes result after this change, and source readability is improved. Drop the randstruct exception now that there is no "confusing" cross-type assignment.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

security/keys: rewrite big_key crypto to use library interface

2020-06-02T16:22:31+00:00

A while back, I noticed that the crypto and crypto API usage in big_keys were entirely broken in multiple ways, so I rewrote it. Now, I'm rewriting it again, but this time using the simpler ChaCha20Poly1305 library function. This makes the file considerably more simple; the diffstat alone should justify this commit. It also should be faster, since it no longer requires a mutex around the "aead api object" (nor allocations), allowing us to encrypt multiple items in parallel. We also benefit from being able to pass any type of pointer, so we can get rid of the ridiculously complex custom page allocator that big_key really doesn't need. [DH: Change the select CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA20POLY1305 to a depends on as select doesn't propagate and the build can end up with an =y dependending on some =m pieces. The depends on CRYPTO also had to be removed otherwise the configurator complains about a recursive dependency.] Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Greg KH Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: kernel-hardening@lists.openwall.com Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Jason A.

Instead, an internal buffer is allocated for getting the keys out from the read method first before copying them out to userspace without holding the lock. That requires taking out the __user modifier from all the relevant read methods as well as additional changes to not use any userspace write helpers. That is, 1) The put_user() call is replaced by a direct copy. 2) The copy_to_user() call is replaced by memcpy(). 3) All the fault handling code is removed. Compiling on a x86-64 system, the size of the rxrpc_read() function is reduced from 3795 bytes to 2384 bytes with this patch.
