2017-06-07random: invalidate batched entropy after crng initJason A. Donenfeld
It's possible that get_random_{u32,u64} is used before the crng has initialized, in which case, its output might not be cryptographically secure. For this problem, directly, this patch set is introducing the *_wait variety of functions, but even with that, there's a subtle issue: what happens to our batched entropy that was generated before initialization. Prior to this commit, it'd stick around, supplying bad numbers. After this commit, we force the entropy to be re-extracted after each phase of the crng has initialized. In order to avoid a race condition with the position counter, we introduce a simple rwlock for this invalidation. Since it's only during this awkward transition period, after things are all set up, we stop using it, so that it doesn't have an impact on performance. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

2017-06-03drivers: char: mem: Fix wraparound check to allow mappings up to the endJulius Werner
A recent fix to /dev/mem prevents mappings from wrapping around the end of physical address space. However, the check was written in a way that also prevents a mapping reaching just up to the end of physical address space, which may be a valid use case (especially on 32-bit systems). This patch fixes it by checking the last mapped address (instead of the first address behind that) for overflow.

2017-05-24fix race in drivers/char/random.c:get_reg()Michael Schmitz
get_reg() can be reentered on architectures with prioritized interrupts (m68k in this case), causing f->reg_index to be incremented after the range check. Out of bounds memory access past the pt_regs struct results. This will go mostly undetected unless access is beyond end of memory. Prevent the race by disabling interrupts in get_reg(). Tested on m68k (Atari Falcon, and ARAnyM emulator). Kudos to Geert Uytterhoeven for helping to trace this race.

2017-05-18drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()Julius Werner
/dev/mem currently allows mmap() mappings that wrap around the end of the physical address space, which should probably be illegal. It circumvents the existing STRICT_DEVMEM permission check because the loop immediately terminates (as the start address is already higher than the end address). On the x86_64 architecture it will then cause a panic (from the BUG(start >= end) in arch/x86/mm/pat.c:reserve_memtype()). This patch adds an explicit check to make sure offset + size will not wrap around in the physical address type.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells: "Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels. This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under UEFI secure boot conditions. Annotations are made by changing: module_param(n, t, p) module_param_named(n, v, t, p) module_param_array(n, t, m, p) to: module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p) module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p) module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p) where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can be one of: ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set) irq Module parameter configures an I/O port dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address other Module parameter configures some other value Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for future use. A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping. The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files. The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a reasonable default. What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware. Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling. [!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in an already existing field" * tag 'hwparam-20170420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: (38 commits) Annotate hardware config module parameters in sound/pci/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in sound/oss/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in sound/isa/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in sound/drivers/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in fs/pstore/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/watchdog/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/video/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/tty/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/staging/vme/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/staging/speakup/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/staging/media/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/scsi/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/pcmcia/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/pci/hotplug/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/parport/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/wireless/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/wan/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/irda/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/hamradio/ Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/ethernet/ ...

2017-05-08format-security: move static strings to constKees Cook
While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled, many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char array instead of char pointer. This makes some static analysis easier, by producing fewer false positives. As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

2017-05-08treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variantsMichal Hocko
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

This patch introduces a new device driver s390-trng for the s390 platform which exploits the new PRNO TRNG cpacf subfunction. The true-random-number-generator is accessible from userspace, by default visible as /dev/trng. The driver also registers at the kernel build-in hwrng API to feed the hwrng with fresh entropy data.

2017-04-25tpm_tis: convert to using locality callbacksJerry Snitselaar
This patch converts tpm_tis to use of the new tpm class ops request_locality, and relinquish_locality. With the move to using the callbacks, release_locality is changed so that we now release the locality even if there is no request pending. This required some changes to the tpm_tis_core_init code path to make sure locality is requested when needed: - tpm2_probe code path will end up calling request/release through callbacks, so request_locality prior to tpm2_probe not needed. - probe_itpm makes calls to tpm_tis_send_data which no longer calls request_locality, so add request_locality prior to tpm_tis_send_data calls. Also drop release_locality call in middleof probe_itpm, and keep locality until release_locality called at end of probe_itpm.

2017-04-25tpm: fix handling of the TPM 2.0 event logsPetr Vandrovec
When TPM2 log has entries with more than 3 digests, or with digests not listed in the log header, log gets misparsed, eventually leading to kernel complaint that code tried to vmalloc 512MB of memory (I have no idea what would happen on bigger system). So code should not parse only first 3 digests: both event header and event itself are already in memory, so we can parse any number of digests, as long as we do not try to parse whole memory when given count of 0xFFFFFFFF. So this change: * Rejects event entry with more digests than log header describes. Digest types should be unique, and all should be described in log header, so there cannot be more digests in the event than in the header. * Reject event entry with digest that is not described in the log header. In theory code could hardcode information about digest IDs already assigned by TCG, but if firmware authors cannot get event log format right, why should anyone believe that they got event log content right.

2017-04-21crypto: exynos - Add new Exynos RNG driverKrzysztof Kozlowski
Replace existing hw_ranndom/exynos-rng driver with a new, reworked one. This is a driver for pseudo random number generator block which on Exynos4 chipsets must be seeded with some value. On newer Exynos5420 chipsets it might seed itself from true random number generator block but this is not implemented yet. New driver is a complete rework to use the crypto ALGAPI instead of hw_random API. Rationale for the change: 1. hw_random interface is for true RNG devices. 2. The old driver was seeding itself with jiffies which is not a reliable source for randomness. 3. Device generates five random 32-bit numbers in each pass but old driver was returning only one 32-bit number thus its performance was reduced. Compatibility with DeviceTree bindings is preserved. New driver does not use runtime power management but manually enables and disables the clock when needed. This is preferred approach because using runtime PM just to toggle clock is huge overhead. Another difference is reseeding itself with generated random data periodically and during resuming from system suspend (previously driver was re-seeding itself again with jiffies).

2017-04-20Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/char/David Howells
When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a device to access or modify the kernel image. To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down. The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the default values for those parameters is. Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition to manually coded parameters.

2017-04-12mm: Tighten x86 /dev/mem with zeroing readsKees Cook
Under CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, reading System RAM through /dev/mem is disallowed. However, on x86, the first 1MB was always allowed for BIOS and similar things, regardless of it actually being System RAM. It was possible for heap to end up getting allocated in low 1MB RAM, and then read by things like x86info or dd, which would trip hardened usercopy: usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffff880000090000 (dma-kmalloc-256) (4096 bytes) This changes the x86 exception for the low 1MB by reading back zeros for System RAM areas instead of blindly allowing them. More work is needed to extend this to mmap, but currently mmap doesn't go through usercopy, so hardened usercopy won't Oops the kernel.

Commit 1abf71e moved the creation of new_smi->dev to earlier in the init sequence in order to provide infrastructure for log printing. However, the init_name was created with a hard-coded value of zero. This presents a problem in systems with more than one interface, producing a call trace in dmesg. To correct the problem, simply use smi_num instead of the hard-coded value of zero. Tested on a lenovo x3950. Signed-off-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> There was actually a more general problem, the platform device wasn't being set correctly, either, and there was a possible (though extremely unlikely) race on smi_num. Add locks to clean up the race and use the proper value for the platform device, too. Tested on qemu in various configurations. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
2017-04-10hwrng: timeriomem - Improve performance for sub-jiffie update periodsRick Altherr
Some hardware RNGs provide a single register for obtaining random data. Instead of signaling when new data is available, the reader must wait a fixed amount of time between reads for new data to be generated. timeriomem_rng implements this scheme with the period specified in platform data or device tree. While the period is specified in microseconds, the implementation used a standard timer which has a minimum delay of 1 jiffie and caused a significant bottleneck for devices that can update at 1us. By switching to an hrtimer, 1us periods now only delay at most 2us per read. Signed-off-by: Rick Altherr <raltherr@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
