Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.
The commit message in commit 54d9469bc515 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.
Summary:
Various fixes across several hardening areas:
- loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).
- zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
Wendling).
- CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
Assche).
- Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
(Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).
- fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.
Improvements to existing features:
- testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).
- overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.
New features:
- string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
strncpy() replacement needs.
- um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.
- fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning"
