Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

We can save lines/size by removing print_prefix() with buf == NULL. This patch makes no functional change.

printk: fix printk_time race.

2018-12-10T09:45:59Z

Since printk_time can be toggled via /sys/module/printk/parameters/time , it is not safe to assume that output length does not change across multiple msg_print_text() calls. If we hit this race, we can observe failures such as SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL writes more bytes than userspace has supplied, SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns -EFAULT when succeeded, SYSLOG_ACTION_READ reads garbage memory or even triggers an kernel oops at _copy_to_user() due to integer overflow. To close this race, get a snapshot value of printk_time and pass it to SYSLOG_ACTION_READ, SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD and kmsg_dump_get_buffer().

printk: Make printk_emit() local function.

2018-11-29T09:59:40Z

printk_emit() is called from only devkmsg_write() in the same file. Save object size by making it a local function.

printk: fix integer overflow in setup_log_buf()

2018-10-12T08:44:17Z

The way we calculate logbuf free space percentage overflows signed integer: int free; free = __LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx; pr_info("early log buf free: %u(%u%%)\n", free, (free * 100) / __LOG_BUF_LEN); We support LOG_BUF_LEN of up to 1<<25 bytes. Since setup_log_buf() is called during early init, logbuf is mostly empty, so __LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx is close to 1<<25. Thus when we multiply it by 100, we overflow signed integer value range: 100 is 2^6 + 2^5 + 2^2. Example, booting with LOG_BUF_LEN 1<<25 and log_buf_len=2G boot param: [ 0.075317] log_buf_len: -2147483648 bytes [ 0.075319] early log buf free: 33549896(-28%) Make "free" unsigned integer and use appropriate printk() specifier.

printk: do not preliminary split up cont buffer

2018-10-12T08:03:39Z

We have a proper 'overflow' check which tells us that we need to split up existing cont buffer in separate records: if (cont.len + len > sizeof(cont.buf)) cont_flush(); At the same time we also have one extra flush: "if cont buffer is 80% full then split it up" in cont_add(): if (cont.len > (sizeof(cont.buf) * 80) / 100) cont_flush(); This looks to be redundant, since the existing "overflow" check should work just fine, so remove this 80% check and wait for either a normal cont termination \n, for preliminary flush due to possible buffer overflow or for preliminary flush due to cont race.

printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entries

2018-10-12T08:03:39Z

Prior to commit 5c2992ee7fd8a29 ("printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush() for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would actually print data: pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont() console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer): pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); cont_flush(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // print data We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull. Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to print to the consoles/syslog.
