Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook: "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for randstruct plugin, including the task_struct. This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and comes in three patches, largest first: - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the __randomize_layout section - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come later) And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and s390 for me" * tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: randstruct: opt-out externally exposed function pointer structs task_struct: Allow randomized layout randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

2017-06-30T19:00:51Z

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists, workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling and will be covered in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

tty: add function to convert device name to number

2017-06-27T07:08:47Z

The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like (4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered, this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex. Signed-off-by: Okash Khawaja Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: define tty_open_by_driver when CONFIG_TTY is not defined

2017-06-25T14:38:34Z

This patch adds definition of tty_open_by_driver when CONFIG_TTY is not defined. This was supposed to have been included in commit 12e84c71b7d4ee38d51377fd494ac748ee4e6912 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver"). The patch follows convention for other such functions and returns NULL.

tty: drop unused alt_speed from tty_struct

2017-06-13T09:49:58Z

Drop the now unused alt_speed field from struct tty_struct. Setting an alt_speed using the ASYNC_SPD flags has been deprecated since v2.1.69, and has been broken for all tty drivers but serial-core since v3.10 and commit 6865ff222cca ("TTY: do not warn about setting speed via SPD_*") without anyone noticing. Note that serial-core still supports changing speed using TIOCSSERIAL and SPD flags (including "alt-speeds"), but also warns about it being deprecated since pre-git.

tty/serdev: add serdev registration interface

2017-05-18T15:38:24Z

Add a new interface for registering a serdev controller and clients, and a helper function to deregister serdev devices (or a tty device) that were previously registered using the new interface. Once every driver currently using the tty_port_register_device() helpers have been vetted and converted to use the new serdev registration interface (at least for deregistration), we can move serdev registration to the current helpers and get rid of the serdev-specific functions.

tty: export tty_open_by_driver

2017-05-16T12:04:49Z

This exports tty_open_by_driver so that it can be called from other places inside the kernel. The checks for null file pointer are based on Alan Cox's patch here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1215095.html. Description below is quoted from it: "[RFC] tty_port: allow a port to be opened with a tty that has no file handle Let us create tty objects entirely in kernel space. Untested proposal to show why all the ideas around rewriting half the uart stack are not needed. With this a kernel created non file backed tty object could be used to handle data, and set terminal modes. Not all ldiscs can cope with this as N_TTY in particular has to work back to the fs/tty layer. The tty_port code is however otherwise clean of file handles as far as I can tell as is the low level tty port write path used by the ldisc, the configuration low level interfaces and most of the ldiscs. Currently you don't have any exposure to see tty hangups because those are built around the file layer. However a) it's a fixed port so you probably don't care about that b) if you do we can add a callback and c) you almost certainly don't want the userspace tear down/rebuild behaviour anyway. This should however be sufficient if we wanted for example to enumerate all the bluetooth bound fixed ports via ACPI and make them directly available. It doesn't deal with the case of a user opening a port that's also kernel opened and that would need some locking out (so it returned EBUSY if bound to a kernel device of some kind). That needs resolving along with how you "up" or "down" your new bluetooth device, or enumerate it while providing the existing tty API to avoid regressions (and to debug)." The exported funtion is used later in this patch set to gain access to tty_struct.

tty: split job control support into a file of its own

This makes it easier for job control to become optional and/or usable independently from tty_io.c, as well as providing a nice purpose separation. No logical changes from this patch. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
