random: vDSO: avoid call to memset() when zeroing reserved parameter

2026-10-02T10:12:13Z

After a recent change in LLVM [1], builds with the random vDSO implementation, such as PowerPC and RISC-V, fail when checking the vDSO: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported memset() is now generated when zeroing params->reserved for some builds because LLVM has an optimization (now run in more instances) that can recognize at compile time when it is assigning a static value to a contiguous area of memory and turn that into a call to memset(). Both clang and GCC assume memset() is always available [2]. Clang has an internal fiddly hook, -max-store-memset, which we can set to a high number, to disable generating out of line memset calls [3]. Similarly, GCC has -finline-stringops=memset to do the same [4], should this issue ever hit future version of GCC. While these options wouldn't make sense for normal kernel code, it is fine for the extremely limited and intentionally compact vDSO code.

openrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscall

2026-08-29T06:32:26Z

sys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the "or1k" ABI) takes two user pointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written assembly. l.lwz r29,0(r4) l.lwz r27,0(r5) l.sw 0(r4),r27 l.sw 0(r5),r29 The pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory accesses also have no exception table entries. A caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall reads from and writes to it directly. This gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It overwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code execution in kernel context. Check both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups for the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user addresses return -EFAULT.
