Again, on some archs, the user address space and kernel address space can co-exist and be overlapping, so in such case, setting KERNEL_DS would mean that the given address is treated as being in kernel address space.

Current probe_kernel_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe() are not available for user-space memory, because it sets KERNEL_DS while accessing data. On some arch, user address space and kernel address space can be co-exist, but others can not. In that case, setting KERNEL_DS means given address is treated as a kernel address space. Also strnlen_user() is only available from user context since it can sleep if pagefault is enabled. To access user-space memory without pagefault, we need these new functions which sets USER_DS while accessing the data.

* | UPSTREAM: unsafe_[get|put]_user: change interface to use a error target labelLinus Torvalds2016-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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> Change-Id: Ib905a84a04d46984320f6fd1056da4d72f3d6b53 (cherry picked from commit 1bd4403d86a1c06cb6cc9ac87664a0c9d3413d51) Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
* | UPSTREAM: Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accessesLinus Torvalds2016-09-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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()).

* uaccess: reimplement probe_kernel_address() using probe_kernel_read()Andrew Morton2015-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite.

* mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in ↵David Hildenbrand2015-05-19

Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enabled() used the preempt count to track whether in an environment with pagefaults disabled (can be queried via in_atomic()).

It is now possible to verify whether in a pagefault_disable() envionment by calling pagefault_disabled(). In contrast to in_atomic() it will not be influenced by preempt_enable()/preempt_disable().

* | [PATCH] mm: pagefault_{disable,enable}()Peter Zijlstra2006-12-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the atomic thing. Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future. (NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on machines which have too many registers for their own good) [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: s390 fix] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
