* lib/cmdline: avoid page fault in next_argNeel Natu2022-09-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An argument list like "arg=val arg2 \"" can trigger a page fault if the page pointed by 'args[0xffffffff]' is not mapped and potential memory corruption otherwise (unlikely but possible if the bogus address is mapped and contents happen to match the ascii value of the quote character). The fix is to ensure that we load 'args[i-1]' only when (i > 0). Prior to this commit the following command would trigger an unhandled page fault in the kernel: root@(none):/linus/fs/fat# insmod ./fat.ko "foo=bar \"" [ 33.870507] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888204252608 [ 33.872180] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 33.873414] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 33.874650] PGD 4401067 P4D 4401067 PUD 0 [ 33.875321] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC PTI [ 33.876113] CPU: 16 PID: 399 Comm: insmod Not tainted 5.19.0-dbg-DEV #4 [ 33.877193] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-debian-1.16.0-4 04/01/2014 [ 33.878739] RIP: 0010:next_arg+0xd1/0x110 [ 33.879399] Code: 22 75 1d 41 c6 04 01 00 41 80 f8 22 74 18 eb 35 4c 89 0e 45 31 d2 4c 89 cf 48 c7 02 00 00 00 00 41 80 f8 22 75 1f 41 8d 42 ff <41> 80 3c 01 22 75 14 41 c6 04 01 00 eb 0d 48 c7 02 00 00 00 00 41 [ 33.882338] RSP: 0018:ffffc90001253d08 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 33.883174] RAX: 00000000ffffffff RBX: ffff888104252608 RCX: 0fc317bba1c1dd00 [ 33.884311] RDX: ffffc90001253d40 RSI: ffffc90001253d48 RDI: ffff888104252609 [ 33.885450] RBP: ffffc90001253d10 R08: 0000000000000022 R09: ffff888104252609 [ 33.886595] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff82c7ff20 R12: 0000000000000282 [ 33.887748] R13: 00000000ffff8000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000007fff [ 33.888887] FS: 00007f04ec7432c0(0000) GS:ffff88813d300000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 33.890183] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 33.891111] CR2: ffff888204252608 CR3: 0000000100f36005 CR4: 0000000000170ee0 [ 33.892241] Call Trace: [ 33.892641] <TASK> [ 33.892989] parse_args+0x8f/0x220 [ 33.893538] load_module+0x138b/0x15a0 [ 33.894149] ? prepare_coming_module+0x50/0x50 [ 33.894879] ? kernel_read_file_from_fd+0x5f/0x90 [ 33.895639] __se_sys_finit_module+0xce/0x130 [ 33.896342] __x64_sys_finit_module+0x1d/0x20 [ 33.897042] do_syscall_64+0x44/0xa0 [ 33.897622] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd [ 33.898434] RIP: 0033:0x7f04ec85ef79 [ 33.899009] Code: 48 8d 3d da db 0d 00 0f 05 eb a5 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d c7 9e 0d 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ 33.901912] RSP: 002b:00007fffae81bfe8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000139 [ 33.903081] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000559c5f1d2640 RCX: 00007f04ec85ef79 [ 33.904191] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000559c5f1d12a0 RDI: 0000000000000003 [ 33.905304] RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 33.906421] R10: 0000000000000003 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000559c5f1d12a0 [ 33.907526] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000559c5f1d25f0 R15: 0000559c5f1d12a0 [ 33.908631] </TASK> [ 33.908986] Modules linked in: fat(+) [last unloaded: fat] [ 33.909843] CR2: ffff888204252608 [ 33.910375] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 33.911172] RIP: 0010:next_arg+0xd1/0x110 [ 33.911796] Code: 22 75 1d 41 c6 04 01 00 41 80 f8 22 74 18 eb 35 4c 89 0e 45 31 d2 4c 89 cf 48 c7 02 00 00 00 00 41 80 f8 22 75 1f 41 8d 42 ff <41> 80 3c 01 22 75 14 41 c6 04 01 00 eb 0d 48 c7 02 00 00 00 00 41 [ 33.914643] RSP: 0018:ffffc90001253d08 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 33.915446] RAX: 00000000ffffffff RBX: ffff888104252608 RCX: 0fc317bba1c1dd00 [ 33.916544] RDX: ffffc90001253d40 RSI: ffffc90001253d48 RDI: ffff888104252609 [ 33.917636] RBP: ffffc90001253d10 R08: 0000000000000022 R09: ffff888104252609 [ 33.918727] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff82c7ff20 R12: 0000000000000282 [ 33.919821] R13: 00000000ffff8000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000007fff [ 33.920908] FS: 00007f04ec7432c0(0000) GS:ffff88813d300000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 33.922125] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 33.923017] CR2: ffff888204252608 CR3: 0000000100f36005 CR4: 0000000000170ee0 [ 33.924098] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 33.925776] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 33.926347] Rebooting in 10 seconds..

* lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker2012-03-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

* lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parmRobert P. J. Day2008-07-251-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

* [PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpusDerek Fults2006-12-071-1/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the command line format for 'isolcpus=' Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number> or <cpu number>-<cpu number> (must be a positive range in ascending order.) or a mixture <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number> Signed-off-by: Derek Fults <dfults@sgi.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
