compat: fix 4-byte infoleak via uninitialized struct field

2018-05-11T00:51:58Z

Commit 3a4d44b61625 ("ntp: Move adjtimex related compat syscalls to native counterparts") removed the memset() in compat_get_timex(). Since then, the compat adjtimex syscall can invoke do_adjtimex() with an uninitialized ->tai. If do_adjtimex() doesn't write to ->tai (e.g. because the arguments are invalid), compat_put_timex() then copies the uninitialized ->tai field to userspace. Fix it by adding the memset() back.

mm: add kernel_move_pages() helper, move compat syscall to mm/migrate.c

2018-04-02T18:15:32Z

Move compat_sys_move_pages() to mm/migrate.c and make it call a newly introduced helper -- kernel_move_pages() -- instead of the syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

signals: Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h to silence hardened usercopy

However, this is not true in the case of compat signals, whose sigset is copied by put_compat_sigset and receives size as an argument. At most call sites, put_compat_sigset is copying a sigset from the current task_struct. This triggers a warning when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is active. However, by marking this function as static inline, the warning can be avoided because in all of these cases the size is constant at compile time, which is allowed. The only site where this is not the case is handling the rt_sigpending syscall, but there the copy is being made from a stack local variable so does not trigger the warning. Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h, and mark it static inline. This fixes the WARN on MIPS.

signal: replace sigset_to_compat() with put_compat_sigset()

2017-09-19T21:55:54Z

There are 4 callers of sigset_to_compat() in the entire kernel. One is in sparc compat rt_sigaction(2), the rest are in kernel/signal.c itself. All are followed by copy_to_user(), and all but the sparc one are under "if it's big-endian..." ifdefs. Let's transform sigset_to_compat() into put_compat_sigset() that also calls copy_to_user().
