Currently it's possible for broken (or malicious) userspace to flood a kernel log indefinitely with messages a-la Program dmidecode tried to access /dev/mem between f0000->100000 because range_is_allowed() is case of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM being turned on dumps this information each and every time devmem_is_allowed() fails. Reportedly userspace that is able to trigger contignuous flow of these messages exists. It would be possible to rate limit this message, but that'd have a questionable value; the administrator wouldn't get information about all the failing accessess, so then the information would be both superfluous and incomplete at the same time :) Returning EPERM (which is what is actually happening) is enough indication for userspace what has happened; no need to log this particular error as some sort of special condition.

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it void * rather than char * for consistency. Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file. Signed-off-by: NThierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

The loff_t type may be wider than phys_addr_t (e.g. on 32-bit systems). Consequently, the file offset may be truncated in the assignment. Currently, /dev/mem wraps around, which may cause applications to read or write incorrect regions of memory by accident. Let's follow POSIX file semantics here and return 0 when reading from and -EFBIG when writing to an offset that cannot be represented by a phys_addr_t. Note that the conditional is optimized out by the compiler if loff_t has the same size as phys_addr_t.

/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this interface. And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64 where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.

Output of message sequence numbers, to allow userspace log consumers to reliably reconnect and reconstruct their state at any given time. After open("/dev/kmsg"), read() always returns *all* buffered records. If only future messages should be read, SEEK_END can be used. In case records get overwritten while /dev/kmsg is held open, or records get faster overwritten than they are read, the next read() will return -EPIPE and the current reading position gets updated to the next available record. The passed sequence numbers allow the log consumer to calculate the amount of lost messages.

- Record-based stream instead of the traditional byte stream buffer. All records carry a 64 bit timestamp, the syslog facility and priority in the record header. - Records consume almost the same amount, sometimes less memory than the traditional byte stream buffer (if printk_time is enabled). The record header is 16 bytes long, plus some padding bytes at the end if needed. The byte-stream buffer needed 3 chars for the syslog prefix, 15 char for the timestamp and a newline. - Buffer management is based on message sequence numbers. When records need to be discarded, the reading heads move on to the next full record. Unlike the byte-stream buffer, no old logged lines get truncated or partly overwritten by new ones. Sequence numbers also allow consumers of the log stream to get notified if any message in the stream they are about to read gets discarded during the time of reading. - Better buffered IO support for KERN_CONT continuation lines, when printk() is called multiple times for a single line. The use of KERN_CONT is now mandatory to use continuation; a few places in the kernel need trivial fixes here. The buffering could possibly be extended to per-cpu variables to allow better thread-safety for multiple printk() invocations for a single line. - Full-featured syslog facility value support. Different facilities can tag their messages. All userspace-injected messages enforce a facility value > 0 now, to be able to reliably distinguish them from the kernel-generated messages. Independent subsystems like a baseband processor running its own firmware, or a kernel-related userspace process can use their own unique facility values. Multiple independent log streams can co-exist that way in the same buffer. All share the same global sequence number counter to ensure proper ordering (and interleaving) and to allow the consumers of the log to reliably correlate the events from different facilities.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

These devices don't do any writeback but their device inodes still can get dirty so mark bdi appropriately so that bdi code does the right thing and files inodes to lists of bdi carrying the device inodes.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a module. This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel log: request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise). The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because 'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically. Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days. Basically sysfs would fail to create new inodes since it uses an IDR and therefore class_create would fail. While we are unlikely to see this fail we may as well handle it instead of oopsing.
