init/do_mounts.c: Harden split_fs_names() against buffer overflow

2021-09-20T02:24:49Z

split_fs_names() currently takes comma separate list of filesystems and converts it into individual filesystem strings. Pleaces these strings in the input buffer passed by caller and returns number of strings. If caller manages to pass input string bigger than buffer, then we can write beyond the buffer. Or if string just fits buffer, we will still write beyond the buffer as we append a '\0' byte at the end. Pass size of input buffer to split_fs_names() and put enough checks in place so such buffer overrun possibilities do not occur. This patch does few things. - Add a parameter "size" to split_fs_names(). This specifies size of input buffer. - Use strlcpy() (instead of strcpy()) so that we can't go beyond buffer size. If input string "names" is larger than passed in buffer, input string will be truncated to fit in buffer. - Stop appending extra '\0' character at the end and avoid one possibility of going beyond the input buffer size. - Do not use extra loop to count number of strings. - Previously if one passed "rootfstype=foo,,bar", split_fs_names() will return only 1 string "foo" (and "bar" will be truncated due to extra ,). After this patch, now split_fs_names() will return 3 strings ("foo", zero-sized-string, and "bar"). Callers of split_fs_names() have been modified to check for zero sized string and skip to next one.

memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()' interface

2021-09-14T20:23:22Z

The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with 'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_ address. Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function, and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/ or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it: https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/ I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface. I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence, but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite messy. So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept as a regular kernel pointer. And then it converts a couple of users that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.
