kernfs: sysfs: support custom llseek method for sysfs entries

2023-10-05T11:42:11Z

As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek(). There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic: - Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at some later point making debugging harder. - generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size which might not be correct for all sysfs entries. See commit 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example. Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute level. The method is optional, and if it is absent, generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

driver-core: Introduce BIN_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}

2022-07-19T22:38:04Z

Many binary attributes need to limit access to CAP_SYS_ADMIN only; ie many binary attributes specify is_visible with 0400 or 0600. Make setting the permissions of such attributes more explicit by defining BIN_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}.

sysfs: Rename struct bin_attribute member to f_mapping

2021-08-05T12:47:31Z

There are two users of iomem_get_mapping(), the struct file and struct bin_attribute. The former has a member called "f_mapping" and the latter has a member called "mapping", and both are poniters to struct address_space. Rename struct bin_attribute member to "f_mapping" to keep both meaning and the usage consistent with other users of iomem_get_mapping().

sysfs: Invoke iomem_get_mapping() from the sysfs open callback

2021-08-05T12:47:31Z

Defer invocation of the iomem_get_mapping() to the sysfs open callback so that it can be executed as needed when the binary sysfs object has been accessed. To do that, convert the "mapping" member of the struct bin_attribute from a pointer to the struct address_space into a function pointer with a signature that requires the same return type, and then updates the sysfs_kf_bin_open() to invoke provided function should the function pointer be valid. Also, convert every invocation of iomem_get_mapping() into a function pointer assignment, therefore allowing for the iomem_get_mapping() invocation to be deferred to when the sysfs open callback runs. Thus, this change removes the need for the fs_initcalls to complete before any other sub-system that uses the iomem_get_mapping() would be able to invoke it safely without leading to a failure and an Oops related to an invalid iomem_get_mapping() access.

sysfs: Support zapping of binary attr mmaps

2021-01-12T13:26:31Z

We want to be able to revoke pci mmaps so that the same access rules applies as for /dev/kmem. Revoke support for devmem was added in 3234ac664a87 ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region"). The simplest way to achieve this is by having the same filp->f_mapping for all mappings, so that unmap_mapping_range can find them all, no matter through which file they've been created. Since this must be set at open time we need sysfs support for this. Add an optional mapping parameter bin_attr, which is only consulted when there's also an mmap callback, since without mmap support allowing to adjust the ->f_mapping makes no sense.

sysfs: Add sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at to format sysfs output

2020-10-02T10:02:30Z

Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf. sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the PAGE_SIZE buffer length. Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done. Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done. Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned. Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

driver-core: Introduce DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}

2020-07-01T17:16:30Z

A common pattern for using plain DEVICE_ATTR() instead of DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW() is for attributes that want to limit read to only root. I.e. many users of DEVICE_ATTR() are specifying 0400 or 0600 for permissions. Given the expectation that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to access these sensitive attributes and an explicit helper with the _ADMIN_ identifier for DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}. Cc: "Rafael J.

sysfs: remove redundant __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj fn

2020-04-05T18:34:35Z

Commit 9255782f7061 ("sysfs: Wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj function to change the symlink name") made this function a wrapper around a new non-underscored function, which is a bit odd. The normal naming convention is the other way around: the underscored function is the wrappee, and the non-underscored function is the wrapper. There's only one single user (well, two call-sites in that user) of the more limited double underscore version of this function, so just remove the oddly named wrapper entirely and just add the extra NULL argument to the user. I considered just doing that in the merge, but that tends to make history really hard to read.
