2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-09-23x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for ClangJosh Poimboeuf
For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame pointer is set up first: static inline void foo() { register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP); asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp)) } Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer. The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global variable. It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC version. With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as before: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 after 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed. It now changes its behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global. That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before inserting *any* inline asm. (Therefore, listing the variable as an output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.) It's a bit overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible. And in fact, there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9796316 9468236 9076191 8790305 after 9796957 9464267 9076381 8785949 So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for older versions.

Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and elevate privileges [1]. The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if needed. The addr_limit_user_check function is added as a cross-architecture function to check the address limit.

2017-05-21x86: fix 32-bit case of __get_user_asm_u64()Linus Torvalds
The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered, and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit b2f680380ddf ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit kernels"). Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined "get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist. The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues. There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64(): - it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b9755f ("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses"). This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is quite high on modern Intel CPU's. - the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch. In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like this: mov (%eax),%eax mov 0x4(%eax),%edx where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was basically random garbage. The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should alias with the output register.

2017-05-21Clean up x86 unsafe_get/put_user() type handlingLinus Torvalds
Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in commit a7cc722fff0b ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more at those functions. It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long". Which is fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does not fit in a long. While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user(). We actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't convert silently. And it makes the code more readable by not having that one very long and complex line.

2016-08-30mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKSJosh Poimboeuf
There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for gcc 4.6 and newer: 1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to be working fine here. Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be changed to *always* be an error, regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS. 2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning This is another static warning which happens when I enable __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead code and the warning attribute is activated.) So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern, maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug". I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high. 3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size > object size. All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled for gcc 4.6 with the following commit: 2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact, __compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in gcc 4.6.) So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit. Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time, upgrade it to always be an error. Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer needed.

2016-08-08unsafe_[get|put]_user: change interface to use a error target labelLinus Torvalds
When I initially added the unsafe_[get|put]_user() helpers in commit 5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses"), I made the mistake of modeling the interface on our traditional __[get|put]_user() functions, which return zero on success, or -EFAULT on failure. That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check the error value for each access. In particular, since the error handling is already internally implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit checking after each operation. So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place to use the new interface). So rather than if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr)) ... handle error .. the interface is now unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label); where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to 'label' in the caller. Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a "if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model. Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the long term. [ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this commit only changes the error handling semantics ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-05-20x86/kasan: instrument user memory access APIAndrey Ryabinin
Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language. Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler instruments only C code. Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory. Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the kernel.

2016-05-11x86/extable: ensure entries are swapped completely when sortingMathias Krause
The x86 exception table sorting was changed in commit 29934b0fb8ff ("x86/extable: use generic search and sort routines") to use the arch independent code in lib/extable.c. However, the patch was mangled somehow on its way into the kernel from the last version posted at [1]. The committed version kind of attempted to incorporate the changes of commit 548acf19234d ("x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options") as in _completely_ _ignoring_ the x86 specific 'handler' member of struct exception_table_entry. This effectively broke the sorting as entries will only partly be swapped now. Fortunately, the x86 Kconfig selects BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT, so the exception table doesn't need to be sorted at runtime. However, in case that ever changes, we better not break the exception table sorting just because of that. [ Ard Biesheuvel points out that BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT applies to the core image only, but we still rely on the sorting routines for modules in that case - Linus ] Fix this by providing a swap_ex_entry_fixup() macro that takes care of the 'handler' member.

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to produce this.

Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with: ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. ' The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a handler that executes the actions.

2016-01-21Merge branch 'uaccess' (batched user access infrastructure)Linus Torvalds
Expose an interface to allow users to mark several accesses together as being user space accesses, allowing batching of the surrounding user space access markers (SMAP on x86, PAN on arm64, domain register switching on arm). This is currently only used for the user string lenth and copying functions, where the SMAP overhead on x86 drowned the actual user accesses (only noticeable on newer microarchitectures that support SMAP in the first place, of course). * user access batching branch: Use the new batched user accesses in generic user string handling Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses
2015-12-17Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accessesLinus Torvalds
The naming is meant to discourage random use: the helper functions are not really any more "unsafe" than the traditional double-underscore functions (which need the address range checking), but they do need even more infrastructure around them, and should not be used willy-nilly. In addition to checking the access range, these user access functions require that you wrap the user access with a "user_acess_{begin,end}()" around it. That allows architectures that implement kernel user access control (x86: SMAP, arm64: PAN) to do the user access control in the wrapping user_access_begin/end part, and then batch up the actual user space accesses using the new interfaces. The main (and hopefully only) use for these are for core generic access helpers, initially just the generic user string functions (strnlen_user() and strncpy_from_user()). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-12-17x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accessesLinus Torvalds
This reorganizes how we do the stac/clac instructions in the user access code. Instead of adding the instructions directly to the same inline asm that does the actual user level access and exception handling, add them at a higher level. This is mainly preparation for the next step, where we will expose an interface to allow users to mark several accesses together as being user space accesses, but it does already clean up some code: - the inlined trivial cases of copy_in_user() now do stac/clac just once over the accesses: they used to do one pair around the user space read, and another pair around the write-back. - the {get,put}_user_ex() macros that are used with the catch/try handling don't do any stac/clac at all, because that happens in the try/catch surrounding them. Other than those two cleanups that happened naturally from the re-organization, this should not make any difference. Yet. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-12-27x86: Slightly tweak the access_ok() C variant for better codeH. Peter Anvin
gcc can under very specific circumstances realize that the code sequence: foo += bar; if (foo < bar) ... ... is equivalent to a carry out from the addition. Tweak the implementation of access_ok() (specifically __chk_range_not_ok()) to make it more likely that gcc will make that connection. It isn't fool-proof (sometimes gcc seems to think it can make better code with lea, and ends up with a second comparison), still, but it seems to be able to connect the two more frequently this way.

2013-12-27x86: Replace assembly access_ok() with a C variantLinus Torvalds
It turns out that the assembly variant doesn't actually produce that good code, presumably partly because it creates a long dependency chain with no scheduling, and partly because we cannot get a flags result out of gcc (which could be fixed with asm goto, but it turns out not to be worth it.) The C code allows gcc to schedule and generate multiple (easily predictable) branches, and as a side benefit we can really optimize the case where the size is constant.
