2023-09-29um,ethertap: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()Gravatar Justin Stitt 1-1/+1
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. `gate_buf` should always be NUL-terminated and does not require NUL-padding. It is used as a string arg inside an argv array given to `run_helper()`. Due to this, let's use `strscpy` as it guarantees NUL-terminated on the destination buffer preventing potential buffer overreads [2]. This exact invocation was changed from `strcpy` to `strncpy` in commit 7879b1d94badb ("um,ethertap: use strncpy") back in 2015. Let's continue hardening our `str*cpy` apis and use the newer and safer `strscpy`!

2023-06-20uml: Replace strlcpy with strscpyGravatar Azeem Shaikh 1-1/+1
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

2023-02-05kbuild: remove --include-dir MAKEFLAG from top MakefileGravatar Masahiro Yamada 1-1/+1
I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits: - 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles") - d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds") They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag. I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful. For example, run the following commands: $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo' HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it UPD include/config/kernel.release make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo' The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet. However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare' does not help at all for fixing the issue. This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir from the top Makefile. There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile. With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message. $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo' SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd *** *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=arm mrproper' *** in /tmp/linux *** make[2]: *** [../Makefile:646: outputmakefile] Error 1 /tmp/linux/Makefile:770: include/config/auto.conf.cmd: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [/tmp/linux/Makefile:793: include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo' make: *** [Makefile:226: __sub-make] Error 2 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate with slab, and it doesn't work with slob. So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever that translates into, and libc code calls it. kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat inconsistent API.

2008-02-05uml: tidy kern_util.hGravatar Jeff Dike 1-0/+1
Tidy kern_util.h. It turns out that most of the function declarations aren't used, so they can go away. os.h no longer includes kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it directly. A number of other files never needed it, so these includes are deleted. The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel side to the userspace side is gone. Instead, the handlers are declared here, and used directly from libc code. This allows arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c. arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some style attention, so it got tidied.

2007-12-17uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UMLGravatar Stanislaw Gruszka 2-9/+3
Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints. When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork, but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock - gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb. When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints from child and at the same time from traced process, because either have the same address space. Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags together. Additionally __WALL flag is used for waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

2007-10-16uml: network driver MTU cleanupsGravatar Jeff Dike 4-46/+19
A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code. First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which is the MTU plus headers. This is used to size the skb that will receive a packet. This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the skb after it was allocated. Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get an sk_buff **. They just need the sk_buff * now. The callers of ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined. The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone. The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be removed. The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather than adding two bytes to it. It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc was dereferenced.

2007-10-16uml: userspace files should call libc directlyGravatar Jeff Dike 2-31/+54
A number of files that were changed in the recent removal of tt mode are userspace files which call the os_* wrappers instead of calling libc directly. A few other files were affected by this, through This patch makes these call glibc directly. There are also style fixes in the affected areas. os_print_error has no remaining callers, so it is deleted.

2007-07-16uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappersGravatar Jeff Dike 1-2/+2
UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

2007-05-07uml: convert libc layer to call read and writeGravatar Jeff Dike 1-5/+6
This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is in the kernel. We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in libc code and can call libc directly. With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to errno directly rather than the return value of the call. CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

2007-05-07uml: network interface hotplug error handlingGravatar Jeff Dike 2-2/+4
This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug. The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the configuration. This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't work. This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure. eth_configure failed to check for many failures. Even when it did check, it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present, but partially initialized and non-working device could result. It now checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been done. The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just void.

2005-09-17[PATCH] uml: preserve errno in error pathsGravatar Jeff Dike 1-3/+5
The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However, the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0 rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no end of interesting behavior. The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned. In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the printk. There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value that it wanted.

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.
