2012-05-04efivars: Improve variable validationMatthew Garrett1-16/+30
Ben Hutchings pointed out that the validation in efivars was inadequate - most obviously, an entry with size 0 would server as a DoS against the kernel. Improve this based on his suggestions.

2012-05-01efi: Validate UEFI boot variablesMatthew Garrett1-0/+182
A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

2011-12-13ibft: Fix finding IBFT ACPI table on UEFIYinghai Lu2-26/+42
Found one system with UEFI/iBFT, kernel does not detect the iBFT during iscsi_ibft module loading. Root cause: on x86 (UEFI), we are calling of find_ibft_region() much earlier - specifically in setup_arch() before ACPI is enabled. Try to split acpi checking code out and call that later At that time ACPI iBFT already get permanent mapped with ioremap. So isa_virt_to_bus() will get wrong phys from right virt address. We could just skip that phys address printing. For legacy one, print the found address early. -v2: update comments and description according to Konrad. -v3: fix problem about module use case that is found by Konrad. -v4: use acpi_get_table() instead of acpi_table_parse() to handle module use case that is found by Konrad again..

2011-11-29ASoC: Move SigmaDSP firmware loader to ASoCLars-Peter Clausen3-166/+0
It has been pointed out previously, that the firmware subsystem is not the right place for the SigmaDSP firmware loader. Furthermore the SigmaDSP is currently only used in audio products and we are aiming for better integration into the ASoC framework in the future, with support for ALSA controls for firmware parameters and support dynamic power management as well. So the natural choice for the SigmaDSP firmware loader is the ASoC subsystem.

2011-11-29firmware: Sigma: Prevent out of bounds memory accessLars-Peter Clausen1-21/+55
The SigmaDSP firmware loader currently does not perform enough boundary size checks when processing the firmware. As a result it is possible that a malformed firmware can cause an out of bounds memory access. This patch adds checks which ensure that both the action header and the payload are completely inside the firmware data boundaries before processing them.

2011-11-18pstore: pass reason to backend write callbackKees Cook1-3/+5
This allows a backend to filter on the dmesg reason as well as the pstore reason. When ramoops is switched to pstore, this is needed since it has no interest in storing non-crash dmesg details. Drop pstore_write() as it has no users, and handling the "reason" here has no obviously correct value. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2011-11-18pstore: pass allocated memory region back to callerKees Cook1-2/+7
The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path. To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.

2011-11-16drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: make dmi_name_in_vendors more focusedJean Delvare1-4/+2
The current implementation of dmi_name_in_vendors() is an invitation to lazy coding and false positives [1]. Searching for a string in 8 know what you're looking for, so you should know where to look. strstr isn't fast, especially when it fails, so we should avoid calling it when it just can't succeed. Looking at the current users of the function, it seems clear to me that they are looking for a system or board vendor name, so let's limit dmi_name_in_vendors to these two DMI fields. This much better matches the function name, BTW. [1] We currently have code looking for short names in DMI data, such as "IBM", "ASUS" or "Acer". I let you guess what will happen the day other vendors ship products named, for example, "SCHREIBMEISTER", "PEGASUS" or "Acerola".

2011-08-16pstore: change mutex locking to spin_locksDon Zickus1-1/+1
pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump(). This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking. All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context. Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

2011-07-23efivars: Use string functions in pstore_writeMike Waychison1-12/+14
Instead of open-coding the string operations for comparing the prefix of the variable names, use the provided utf16_* string functions. This patch also changes the calls to efi.set_variable to efivars->ops->set_variable so that the right function gets called in the case of gsmi (which doesn't have a valid efi structure). As well, make sure that we only consider variables with the right vendor string. Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2011-07-23efivars: String functionsMike Waychison1-11/+19
Fix the string functions in the efivars driver to be called utf16_* instead of utf8_* as the encoding is utf16, not utf8. As well, rename utf16_strlen to utf16_strnlen as it takes a maxlength argument and the name should be consistent with the standard C function names. utf16_strlen is still provided for convenience in a subsequent patch.

2011-06-30[SCSI] iscsi_ibft, be2iscsi, iscsi_boot: fix boot kobj data lifetime managementMike Christie1-3/+11
be2iscsi passes the boot functions its phba object which is allocated in the shost, but iscsi_ibft passes in a object allocated for each item to display. The problem is that iscsi_boot_sysfs was managing the lifetime of the object passed in and doing a kfree on release. This causes a double free for be2iscsi which frees the shost in its pci_remove. This patch fixes the problem by adding a release callback which the drivers can call kfree or a put() type of function (needed for be2iscsi which will do a get/put on the shost).
