firewire: fix potential uaf in outbound_phy_packet_callback()

2022-05-12T10:20:24Z

commit b7c81f80246fac44077166f3e07103affe6db8ff upstream. &e->event and e point to the same address, and &e->event could be freed in queue_event. So there is a potential uaf issue if we dereference e after calling queue_event(). Fix this by adding a temporary variable to maintain e->client in advance, this can avoid the potential uaf issue.

firewire: use 64-bit time_t based interfaces

2018-08-17T23:20:27Z

32-bit CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps overflow in year 2038, so all such interfaces are deprecated now. For the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER2 ioctl, we already support 64-bit timestamps, but the implementation still uses timespec. This changes the code to use timespec64 instead with the appropriate accessor functions.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

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

idr: Return the deleted entry from idr_remove

2017-02-14T02:44:03Z

It is a relatively common idiom (8 instances) to first look up an IDR entry, and then remove it from the tree if it is found, possibly doing further operations upon the entry afterwards. If we change idr_remove() to return the removed object, all of these users can save themselves a walk of the IDR tree. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

firewire: use in_compat_syscall to check ioctl compatness

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

Firewire was using is_compat_task to check whether it was in a compat ioctl or a non-compat ioctl. Use is_compat_syscall instead so it works properly on all architectures. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

firewire: cdev: prevent kernel stack leaking into ioctl arguments

2014-11-14T11:10:13Z

Found by the UC-KLEE tool: A user could supply less input to firewire-cdev ioctls than write- or write/read-type ioctl handlers expect. The handlers used data from uninitialized kernel stack then. This could partially leak back to the user if the kernel subsequently generated fw_cdev_event_'s (to be read from the firewire-cdev fd) which notably would contain the _u64 closure field which many of the ioctl argument structures contain. The fact that the handlers would act on random garbage input is a lesser issue since all handlers must check their input anyway. The fix simply always null-initializes the entire ioctl argument buffer regardless of the actual length of expected user input. That is, a runtime overhead of memset(..., 40) is added to each firewirew-cdev ioctl() call. [Comment from Clemens Ladisch: This part of the stack is most likely to be already in the cache.] Remarks: - There was never any leak from kernel stack to the ioctl output buffer itself. IOW, it was not possible to read kernel stack by a read-type or write/read-type ioctl alone; the leak could at most happen in combination with read()ing subsequent event data. - The actual expected minimum user input of each ioctl from include/uapi/linux/firewire-cdev.h is, in bytes: [0x00] = 32, [0x05] = 4, [0x0a] = 16, [0x0f] = 20, [0x14] = 16, [0x01] = 36, [0x06] = 20, [0x0b] = 4, [0x10] = 20, [0x15] = 20, [0x02] = 20, [0x07] = 4, [0x0c] = 0, [0x11] = 0, [0x16] = 8, [0x03] = 4, [0x08] = 24, [0x0d] = 20, [0x12] = 36, [0x17] = 12, [0x04] = 20, [0x09] = 24, [0x0e] = 4, [0x13] = 40, [0x18] = 4.
