2015-08-03security_syslog() should be called once onlyVasily Averin
commit d194e5d666225b04c7754471df0948f645b6ab3a upstream. The final version of commit 637241a900cb ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are processed incorrectly: - open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if dmesg_restrict is set. - syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then directly in do_syslog()) With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

2015-03-26console: Fix console name size mismatchPeter Hurley
commit 30a22c215a0007603ffc08021f2e8b64018517dd upstream. commit 6ae9200f2cab7 ("enlarge console.name") increased the storage for the console name to 16 bytes, but not the corresponding struct console_cmdline::name storage. Console names longer than 8 bytes cause read beyond end-of-string and failure to match console; I'm not sure if there are other unexpected consequences.

2014-08-07printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferredJohn Stultz
commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream. After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function so it can be reused by needed subsystems. This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

2014-02-17printk: fix syslog() overflowing user bufferLinus Torvalds
This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case. In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and *if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up giving the user more data than he asked for. The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of the records and copy them to the user space buffer. And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the "copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev' variable that contained the record information for the last record not copied. That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now had a different character count than what we had originally calculated in the first record walk-through. The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer: the latter is used for pstore-like dumping) Reported-and-tested-by: Debabrata Banerjee <dbanerje@akamai.com> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-01-21kernel/printk/printk.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocationsSantosh Shilimkar
Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in current code from bootmem users points of view. Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to exiting bootmem APIs.

2013-08-06printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()Steven Rostedt
Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set. When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers. Using ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to: commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files" Looking into the patch I found the problem. It's with the return of braille_register_console(). As anything other than NULL is considered a failure. But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a console that those with sight can still use. Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.

2013-08-05register_console: prevent adding the same console twiceAndreas Bießmann
This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL: con0->next->con1->next->NULL Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early console is often a single static instance. This will result in the following list: con0->next->con0 This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.
