Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro: "This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile. For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks, basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(), object size and KASAN. - access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up. However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual copyin/copyout. - might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything - in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout. It's not quite what we need to check (in particular, combination of iovec-backed and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is almost certainly a bug, not a cause to skip checks), but that's for later series. For now let's keep might_fault(). - KASAN checks belong in copyin/copyout - at the same level where other iov_iter flavours would've hit them in memcpy(). - object size checks should apply to *all* iov_iter flavours, not just iovec-backed ones. There are two groups of primitives - one gets the kernel object described as pointer + size (copy_to_iter(), etc.) while another gets it as page + offset + size (copy_page_to_iter(), etc.) For the first group the checks are best done where we actually have a chance to find the object size. In other words, those belong in inline wrappers in uio.h, before calling into iov_iter.c. Same kind as we have for inlined part of copy_to_user(). For the second group there is no object to look at - offset in page is just a number, it bears no type information. So we do them in the common helper called by iov_iter.c primitives of that kind. All it currently does is checking that we are not trying to access outside of the compound page; eventually we might want to add some sanity checks on the page involved. So the things we need in copyin/copyout part of iov_iter.c do not quite match anything in uaccess.h (we want no zeroing, we *do* want access_ok() and KASAN and we want no might_fault() or object size checks done on that level). OTOH, these needs are simple enough to provide a couple of helpers (static in iov_iter.c) doing just what we need..." * 'uaccess-work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: iov_iter: saner checks on copyin/copyout iov_iter: sanity checks for copy to/from page primitives iov_iter/hardening: move object size checks to inlined part copy_{to,from}_user(): consolidate object size checks copy_{from,to}_user(): move kasan checks and might_fault() out-of-line

2017-06-09x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operationsDan Williams1-0/+15
The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer (non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync() to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn around and fence previous writes with an "sfence". Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h + arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache() and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy() otherwise. This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with the rest of the uaccess code [2]. The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

2016-10-05new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backedAl Viro1-3/+11
iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter() copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible. iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages() and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance() will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to. New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those. pipe should be locked all along. Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones; in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing copied there. In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like ->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users, as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.

2015-03-30saner iov_iter initialization primitivesAl Viro1-0/+14
iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties: * no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array * total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT * all ranges pass access_ok(). The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole. We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer) if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter. That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec(). Calling conventions: iovec = iov_array; err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs, ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec, &iter); imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec. On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated. compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec; otherwise it's identical to import_iovec(). Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec covering a user-supplied range - err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter); does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets silently truncated. Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

2014-06-26Fix 32-bit regression in block device read(2)Al Viro1-1/+13
blkdev_read_iter() wants to cap the iov_iter by the amount of data remaining to the end of device. That's what iov_iter_truncate() is for (trim iter->count if it's above the given limit). So far, so good, but the argument of iov_iter_truncate() is size_t, so on 32bit boxen (in case of a large device) we end up with that upper limit truncated down to 32 bits *before* comparing it with iter->count. Easily fixed by making iov_iter_truncate() take 64bit argument - it does the right thing after such change (we only reach the assignment in there when the current value of iter->count is greater than the limit, i.e. for anything that would get truncated we don't reach the assignment at all) and that argument is not the new value of iter->count - it's an upper limit for such. The overhead of passing u64 is not an issue - the thing is inlined, so callers passing size_t won't pay any penalty.

Get rid of count/ocount arguments of generic_file_direct_write(), while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06new helper: iov_iter_get_pages_alloc()Al Viro1-0/+2
same as iov_iter_get_pages(), except that pages array is allocated (kmalloc if possible, vmalloc if that fails) and left for caller to free. Lustre and NFS ->direct_IO() switched to it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06new helper: iov_iter_npages()Al Viro1-0/+1
counts the pages covered by iov_iter, up to given limit. do_block_direct_io() and fuse_iter_npages() switched to it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06new helper: iov_iter_get_pages()Al Viro1-0/+2
iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter. Returns the amount of memory grabbed or -error. In case of success, the requested area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc. Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because the kernel failed to pin that many pages. direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06start adding the tag to iov_iterAl Viro1-12/+3
For now, just use the same thing we pass to ->direct_IO() - it's all iovec-based at the moment. Pass it explicitly to iov_iter_init() and account for kvec vs. iovec in there, by the same kludge NFS ->direct_IO() uses. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06new primitive: iov_iter_alignment()Al Viro1-0/+2
returns the value aligned as badly as the worst remaining segment in iov_iter is. Use instead of open-coded equivalents. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06kill iov_iter_copy_from_user()Al Viro1-2/+0
all callers can use copy_page_from_iter() and it actually simplifies them. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
