2022-07-02vt: drop old FONT ioctlsJiri Slaby
commit ff2047fb755d4415ec3c70ac799889371151796d upstream. Drop support for these ioctls: * PIO_FONT, PIO_FONTX * GIO_FONT, GIO_FONTX * PIO_FONTRESET As was demonstrated by commit 90bfdeef83f1 (tty: make FONTX ioctl use the tty pointer they were actually passed), these ioctls are not used from userspace, as: 1) they used to be broken (set up font on current console, not the open one) and racy (before the commit above) 2) KDFONTOP ioctl is used for years instead Note that PIO_FONTRESET is defunct on most systems as VGA_CONSOLE is set on them for ages. That turns on BROKEN_GRAPHICS_PROGRAMS which makes PIO_FONTRESET just return an error. We are removing KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD here as it was used only by these removed ioctls. kd.h header exists both in kernel and uapi headers, so we can remove the kernel one completely. Everyone includeing kd.h will now automatically get the uapi one. There are now unused definitions of the ioctl numbers and "struct consolefontdesc" in kd.h, but as it is a uapi header, I am not touching these.

2022-02-16vt_ioctl: add array_index_nospec to VT_ACTIVATEJakob Koschel
commit 28cb138f559f8c1a1395f5564f86b8bbee83631b upstream. in vt_setactivate an almost identical code path has been patched with array_index_nospec. In the VT_ACTIVATE path the user input is from a system call argument instead of a usercopy. For consistency both code paths should have the same mitigations applied.

commit 61cc70d9e8ef5b042d4ed87994d20100ec8896d9 upstream. array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero on the transient path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be decreased first and then sanitized with array_index_nospec.

2021-05-26vt: Fix character height handling with VT_RESIZEXMaciej W. Rozycki
commit 860dafa902595fb5f1d23bbcce1215188c3341e6 upstream. Restore the original intent of the VT_RESIZEX ioctl's `v_clin' parameter which is the number of pixel rows per character (cell) rather than the height of the font used. For framebuffer devices the two values are always the same, because the former is inferred from the latter one. For VGA used as a true text mode device these two parameters are independent from each other: the number of pixel rows per character is set in the CRT controller, while font height is in fact hardwired to 32 pixel rows and fonts of heights below that value are handled by padding their data with blanks when loaded to hardware for use by the character generator. One can change the setting in the CRT controller and it will update the screen contents accordingly regardless of the font loaded. The `v_clin' parameter is used by the `vgacon' driver to set the height of the character cell and then the cursor position within. Make the parameter explicit then, by defining a new `vc_cell_height' struct member of `vc_data', set it instead of `vc_font.height' from `v_clin' in the VT_RESIZEX ioctl, and then use it throughout the `vgacon' driver except where actual font data is accessed which as noted above is independent from the CRTC setting. This way the framebuffer console driver is free to ignore the `v_clin' parameter as irrelevant, as it always should have, avoiding any issues attempts to give the parameter a meaning there could have caused, such as one that has led to commit 988d0763361b ("vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE"): "syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2], for vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height larger than actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from ioctl(PIO_FONT). Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates minimal amount of memory based on actual font height calculated by con_font_set(), use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font data." The problem first appeared around Linux 2.5.66 which predates our repo history, but the origin could be identified with the old MIPS/Linux repo also at: <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git> as commit 9736a3546de7 ("Merge with Linux 2.5.66."), where VT_RESIZEX code in `vt_ioctl' was updated as follows: if (clin) - video_font_height = clin; + vc->vc_font.height = clin; making the parameter apply to framebuffer devices as well, perhaps due to the use of "font" in the name of the original `video_font_height' variable. Use "cell" in the new struct member then to avoid ambiguity.

2020-11-05tty: make FONTX ioctl use the tty pointer they were actually passedLinus Torvalds
commit 90bfdeef83f1d6c696039b6a917190dcbbad3220 upstream. Some of the font tty ioctl's always used the current foreground VC for their operations. Don't do that then. This fixes a data race on fg_console. Side note: both Michael Ellerman and Jiri Slaby point out that all these ioctls are deprecated, and should probably have been removed long ago, and everything seems to be using the KDFONTOP ioctl instead. In fact, Michael points out that it looks like busybox's loadfont program seems to have switched over to using KDFONTOP exactly _because_ of this bug (ahem.. 12 years ago ;-).

2020-04-02vt: vt_ioctl: fix use-after-free in vt_in_use()Eric Biggers
commit 7cf64b18b0b96e751178b8d0505d8466ff5a448f upstream. vt_in_use() dereferences console_driver->ttys[i] without proper locking. This is broken because the tty can be closed and freed concurrently. We could fix this by using 'READ_ONCE(console_driver->ttys[i]) != NULL' and skipping the check of tty_struct::count. But, looking at console_driver->ttys[i] isn't really appropriate anyway because even if it is NULL the tty can still be in the process of being closed. Instead, fix it by making vt_in_use() require console_lock() and check whether the vt is allocated and has port refcount > 1. This works since following the patch "vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console" the port refcount is incremented while the vt is open. Reproducer (very unreliable, but it worked for me after a few minutes): #include <fcntl.h> #include <linux/vt.h> int main() { int fd, nproc; struct vt_stat state; char ttyname[16]; fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDONLY); for (nproc = 1; nproc < 8; nproc *= 2) fork(); for (;;) { sprintf(ttyname, "/dev/tty%d", rand() % 8); close(open(ttyname, O_RDONLY)); ioctl(fd, VT_GETSTATE, &state); } } KASAN report: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in vt_in_use drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:48 [inline] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in vt_ioctl+0x1ad3/0x1d70 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:657 Read of size 4 at addr ffff888065722468 by task syz-vt2/132 CPU: 0 PID: 132 Comm: syz-vt2 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5-00130-g089b6d3654916 #13 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS ?-20191223_100556-anatol 04/01/2014 Call Trace: [...] vt_in_use drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:48 [inline] vt_ioctl+0x1ad3/0x1d70 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:657 tty_ioctl+0x9db/0x11b0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2660 [...] Allocated by task 136: [...] kzalloc include/linux/slab.h:669 [inline] alloc_tty_struct+0x96/0x8a0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2982 tty_init_dev+0x23/0x350 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1334 tty_open_by_driver drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1987 [inline] tty_open+0x3ca/0xb30 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2035 [...] Freed by task 41: [...] kfree+0xbf/0x200 mm/slab.c:3757 free_tty_struct+0x8d/0xb0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:177 release_one_tty+0x22d/0x2f0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1468 process_one_work+0x7f1/0x14b0 kernel/workqueue.c:2264 worker_thread+0x8b/0xc80 kernel/workqueue.c:2410 [...] Fixes: 4001d7b7fc27 ("vt: push down the tty lock so we can see what is left to tackle") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.4+ Acked-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200322034305.210082-3-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2020-04-02vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual consoleEric Biggers
commit ca4463bf8438b403596edd0ec961ca0d4fbe0220 upstream. The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release() is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown(). This occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's 'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's refcount hits 0. But actually it may be still being closed. Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded 'struct tty_port'. A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1. Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2. Closing it for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup() so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE. Reproducer: #include <fcntl.h> #include <linux/vt.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { if (fork()) { for (;;) close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR)); } else { int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR); for (;;) ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5); } } KASAN report: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in con_shutdown+0x76/0x80 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3278 Write of size 8 at addr ffff88806a4ec108 by task syz_vt/129 CPU: 0 PID: 129 Comm: syz_vt Not tainted 5.6.0-rc2 #11 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS ?-20191223_100556-anatol 04/01/2014 Call Trace: [...] con_shutdown+0x76/0x80 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3278 release_tty+0xa8/0x410 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1514 tty_release_struct+0x34/0x50 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1629 tty_release+0x984/0xed0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1789 [...] Allocated by task 129: [...] kzalloc include/linux/slab.h:669 [inline] vc_allocate drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:1085 [inline] vc_allocate+0x1ac/0x680 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:1066 con_install+0x4d/0x3f0 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3229 tty_driver_install_tty drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1228 [inline] tty_init_dev+0x94/0x350 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1341 tty_open_by_driver drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1987 [inline] tty_open+0x3ca/0xb30 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2035 [...] Freed by task 130: [...] kfree+0xbf/0x1e0 mm/slab.c:3757 vt_disallocate drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:300 [inline] vt_ioctl+0x16dc/0x1e30 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:818 tty_ioctl+0x9db/0x11b0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2660 [...] Fixes: 4001d7b7fc27 ("vt: push down the tty lock so we can see what is left to tackle") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.4+ Reported-by: syzbot+522643ab5729b0421998@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Acked-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200322034305.210082-2-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2020-04-02vt: vt_ioctl: remove unnecessary console allocation checksEric Biggers
commit 1aa6e058dd6cd04471b1f21298270014daf48ac9 upstream. The vc_cons_allocated() checks in vt_ioctl() and vt_compat_ioctl() are unnecessary because they can only be reached by calling ioctl() on an open tty, which implies the corresponding virtual console is allocated. And even if the virtual console *could* be freed concurrently, then these checks would be broken since they aren't done under console_lock, and the vc_data is dereferenced before them anyway. So, remove these unneeded checks to avoid confusion.

2018-04-02x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm()Dominik Brodowski
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ioperm(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2013-05-20tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock orderPeter Hurley
Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no outstanding work is pending. Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below). For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation, defer port destruction until the consoles have been deallocated. tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.

2012-07-26vt: fix race in vt_waitactive()Rabin Vincent
pm_restore_console() is called from the suspend/resume path, and this calls vt_move_to_console(), which calls vt_waitactive(). There's a race in this path which causes the process which requests the suspend to sleep indefinitely waiting for an event which already happened: P1 P2 vt_move_to_console() set_console() schedule_console_callback() vt_waitactive() check n == fg_console +1 console_callback() switch_screen() vt_event_post() // no waiters vt_event_wait() // forever Fix the race by ensuring we're registered for the event before we check if it's already completed.

2012-04-24vt: push the tty_lock down into the map handlingAlan Cox
When we do this it becomes clear the lock we should be holding is the vc lock, and in fact many of our other helpers are properly invoked this way. We don't at this point guarantee not to race the keyboard code but the results of that appear harmless and that was true before we started as well. We now have no users of tty_lock in the console driver... Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

At this point we have the tty_lock guarding a couple of oddities, plus the translation and unimap still.

2012-03-08vt:tackle kbd_tableAlan Cox
Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on - Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users - Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer - Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress - Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking around properly - Tweak the braille console so it still builds There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place. This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

2012-02-03drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c: fix KDFONTOP 32bit compatibility layerSamuel Thibault
KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8. This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes con_font_get return EIO in such case. This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).

2011-01-26console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()Torben Hohn
The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex() This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make implications about the underlying lock. The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is inverted from try_acquire_console_sem() This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to a mutex.
