This patch addresses inconsistencies in Mac framebuffer drivers and their use of Kconfig symbols relating to NVRAM, so PPC64 can use CONFIG_NVRAM. The defined(CONFIG_NVRAM) condition is replaced with the weaker IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_NVRAM) condition, like atari_scsi. Macintosh framebuffer drivers use default settings for color mode and video mode that are found in NVRAM. On PCI Macs, MacOS stores display settings in the Name Registry (NR) partition in NVRAM*. On NuBus Macs, there is no NR partition and MacOS stores display mode settings in PRAM**. Early-model Macs are the ones most likely to benefit from these settings, since they are more likely to have a fixed-frequency monitor connected to the built-in framebuffer device. Moreover, a single NV_CMODE value and a single NV_VMODE value provide for only one display. The NV_CMODE and NV_VMODE constants are apparently offsets into the NR partition for Old World machines. This also suggests that these defaults are not useful on later models. The NR partition seems to be optional on New World machines. CONFIG_NVRAM cannot be enabled on PPC64 at present. It is safe to say that NVRAM support in PowerMac fbdev drivers is only applicable to CONFIG_PPC32 so make this condition explicit. This means matroxfb driver won't crash on PPC64 when CONFIG_NVRAM becomes available there. For imsttfb, add the missing CONFIG_NVRAM test to prevent a build failure, since PPC64 does not implement nvram_read_byte(). Also add a missing machine_is(powermac) check. Change the inconsistent dependency on CONFIG_PPC and the matching #ifdef tests to CONFIG_PPC_PMAC. For valkyriefb, to improve clarity and consistency with the other PowerMac fbdev drivers, test for CONFIG_PPC_PMAC instead of !CONFIG_MAC. Remove a bogus comment regarding PRAM. * See GetPreferredConfiguration and SavePreferredConfiguration in "Designing PCI Cards and Drivers for Power Macintosh Computers". ** See SetDefaultMode and GetDefaultMode in "Designing Cards and Drivers for the Macintosh Family".

Add the nvram_size() function to those PowerPC platforms that don't already have one: CHRP and PowerMac. This means that the ppc_md.nvram_size() function can be called by nvram_get_size(). Since we are addressing CHRP inconsistencies here, rename chrp_nvram_read and chrp_nvram_write, which break the naming convention used across powerpc platforms for NVRAM accessor functions.

Finn Thain authored
Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device operations to the nvram read/write operations. This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This preserves the locking mechanism such that "read if checksum valid" and "write and update checksum" remain atomic operations. Some platforms implement byte-range read/write methods which are similar to file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only byte-at-a-time methods. The former are more efficient but may be unavailable so fall back on the latter methods when necessary. Tested-by:

The drivers/char/nvram.c module has previously supported only RTC "CMOS" NVRAM, for which it provides appropriate checksum ioctls. Make these ioctls optional so the module can be re-used with other kinds of NVRAM. The ops struct methods that implement the ioctls now return error codes so that a multi-platform kernel binary can do the right thing when running on hardware without a suitable NVRAM. Signed-off-by:

NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have checksum functionality while others do not. By calling ops struct methods via the common wrapper functions, the nvram module and other drivers can make use of the available NVRAM functionality in a portable way. Signed-off-by:

Replace nvram_* functions with static functions in nvram.h. These will become wrappers for struct nvram_ops method calls. This patch effectively disables existing NVRAM functionality so as to allow the rest of the series to be bisected without build failures. That functionality is gradually re-implemented in subsequent patches. Replace the sole validate-checksum-and-read-byte sequence with a call to nvram_read() which will gain the same semantics in subsequent patches. Remove unused exports. Acked-by:

Finn Thain authored
On powerpc, setting CONFIG_NVRAM=n builds a kernel with no NVRAM support. Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=m enables the /dev/nvram misc device module without enabling NVRAM support in drivers. Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=y enables the misc device (built-in) and also enables NVRAM support in drivers. m68k shares the valkyriefb driver with powerpc, and since that driver uses NVRAM, it is affected by CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI, because of the use of "select NVRAM". We can avoid the "select" here, but drivers still have to interpret the CONFIG_NVRAM symbol consistently regardless of platform. In this patch and the subsequent fbdev driver patch, the convention is adopted across all relevant platforms whereby NVRAM functionality gets enabled in a given device driver when the nvram misc device is built-in or when both drivers are modules.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Change snprintf to scnprintf. There are generally two cases where using snprintf causes problems. 1) Uses of size += snprintf(buf, SIZE - size, fmt, ...) In this case, if snprintf would have written more characters than what the buffer size (SIZE) is, then size will end up larger than SIZE. In later uses of snprintf, SIZE - size will result in a negative number, leading to problems. Note that size might already be too large by using size = snprintf before the code reaches a case of size += snprintf. 2) If size is ultimately used as a length parameter for a copy back to user space, then it will potentially allow for a buffer overflow and information disclosure when size is greater than SIZE. When the size is used to index the buffer directly, we can have memory corruption. This also means when size = snprintf... is used, it may also cause problems since size may become large. Copying to userspace is mitigated by the HARDENED_USERCOPY kernel configuration. The solution to these issues is to use scnprintf which returns the number of characters actually written to the buffer, so the size variable will never exceed SIZE. Signed-off-by:

In both cases this is pointless. The purpose of the test is to ensure the kernel generates an Oops at the expected address, so real addresses needs to be printed. This patch fixes that.

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping". The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users shouldn't really even care about. So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be" part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use). In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code had a comment saying Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely. and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really comfortable. NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping that doesn't actually have any pages in it. I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the info leak is real. We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the information leak sanely.

Commit 594cc251 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck. It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the access of the very last byte of the user address space. The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max(). But with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function. For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ ((get_fs().seg & (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0) and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000). And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check. Because it's off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do. Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space, so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't. As a result, the user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max access is going to be that last byte of the user address space. Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses the arguments twice. And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug: #define __addr_ok(addr) \ ((unsigned long __force)(addr) < current_thread_info()->addr_limit.seg) so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit. But then: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ (__addr_ok((addr) + (size))) is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size" is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one byte access at the last address of the user address space") The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that talks about overflow. So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice (although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not that anybody likely cares about SH security). This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH. It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic: unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b; which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless the length was zero". We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd just hit an underflow instead. For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't actually as expensive as it initially looks.
