[PATCH 01/11] compat_ioctl: remove keyboard ioctl translation

[PATCH 01/11] compat_ioctl: remove keyboard ioctl translation

[Arnd Bergmann]

The KD* family of ioctls is implemented in two drivers:
drivers/tty/vt and drivers/s390/char/tty3270.c. Both of them
have compat handlers for all their ioctl commands, so translation
in fs/compat_ioctl.c is never used.

Commit fb07a5f857ac ("compat_ioctl: remove all VT ioctl handling")
removed the compat handling for all the other VT ioctls back in
2009, but it seems I missed the keyboard ones back then.

[PATCH 02/11] compat_ioctl: remove HIDIO translation

[Arnd Bergmann]

The two drivers implementing these both gained proper compat_ioctl()
handlers a long time ago with commits bb6c8d8fa9b5 ("HID: hiddev:
Add 32bit ioctl compatibilty") and ae5e49c79c05 ("HID: hidraw: add
compatibility ioctl() for 32-bit applications."), so the lists in
fs/compat_ioctl.c are no longer used.

It appears that the lists were also incomplete, so the translation
didn't actually work correctly when it was still in use.

Remove them as cleanup.

[PATCH 03/11] compat_ioctl: remove translation for sound ioctls

[Arnd Bergmann]

The SNDCTL_* and SOUND_* commands are the old OSS user interface.

I checked all the sound ioctl commands listed in fs/compat_ioctl.c
to see if we still need the translation handlers. Here is what I
found:

- sound/oss/ is (almost) gone from the kernel, this is what actually
  needed all the translations
- The ALSA emulation for OSS correctly handles all compat_ioctl
  commands already.
- sound/oss/dmasound/ is the last holdout of the original OSS code,
  this is only used on arch/m68k, which has no 64-bit mode and
  hence needs no compat handlers
- arch/um/drivers/hostaudio_kern.c may run in 64-bit mode with
  32-bit x86 user space underneath it. This rare corner case is
  the only one that still needs the compat handlers.

By adding a simple redirect of .compat_ioctl to .unlocked_ioctl in the
UML driver, we can remove all the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL() annotations without
a change in functionality. For completeness, I'm adding the same thing
to the dmasound file, knowing that it makes no difference.

The compat_ioctl list contains one comment about SNDCTL_DSP_MAPINBUF and
SNDCTL_DSP_MAPOUTBUF, which actually would need a translation handler
if implemented. However, the native implementation just returns -EINVAL,
so we don't care.

Umm...  OK, seeing that it's not going to be used on s390...  It's still
not quite right, though, and I'm afraid that places where we have the
same ->unlocked_ioctl and ->compat_ioctl need an audit - there probably
had been other folks who'd stepped into the same.

It turns out that it's actually much more common to have the same
pointer for ioctl handlers that thake pointer arguments than to have
the wrapper. I found 16 instances of trivial wrappers to do compat_ptr()
for file_operations, 4 instances that have a wrapper but skip the
compat_ptr() and around 40 (depending on how you count) that use
the same pointer for both when they only use pointers and should
go through compat_ptr(). This includes a couple that don't use
the argument at all, so they are fine either way.

I've created patches to change all of the above to a new
generic_compat_ioctl_ptrarg() helper I added.

loop_control_ioctl(), kcov_ioctl(), proc_bus_pci_ioctl(), and nbd_ioctl() seem
to be ones that are correct because,  the argument is always an integer.
fs3270_ioctl() has a is_compat_task() check to deal with the problem.

inotify_ioctl(),  vsoc_ioctl(), and usblp_ioctl() are somethat uses both integer
and pointer arguments and may need special handling for s390.

I did not touch those so far.

[PATCH 04/11] compat_ioctl: remove isdn ioctl translation

[Arnd Bergmann]

Neither the old isdn4linux interface nor the newer mISDN stack
ever had working 32-bit compat mode as far as I can tell.

However, the CAPI stack and the Gigaset ISDN driver (implemented
on top of either CAPI or i4l) have some ioctl commands that are
correctly listed in fs/compat_ioctl.c.

We can trivially move all of those into the two corresponding
files that implement the native handlers by adding a compat_ioctl
redirect to that.

I did notice that treating CAPI_MANUFACTURER_CMD() as compatible
is broken, so I'm also adding a handler for that, realizing that
in all likelyhood, nobody is ever going to call it.

[PATCH 05/11] compat_ioctl: remove IGNORE_IOCTL()

[Arnd Bergmann]

Since commit 07d106d0a33d ("vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handling"),
we don't warn about unhandled compat-ioctl command code any more, but
just return the same error that a native file descriptor returns when
there is no handler.

This means the IGNORE_IOCTL() annotations are completely useless and
can all be removed. TIOCSTART/TIOCSTOP and KDGHWCLK/KDSHWCLK fall into
the same category, but for some reason were listed as COMPATIBLE_IOCTL().

[PATCH 06/11] compat_ioctl: remove /dev/random commands

[Arnd Bergmann]

These are all handled by the random driver, so instead of listing
each ioctl, we can just use the same function to deal with both
native and compat commands.

Umm...  I don't think it's right -

->compat_ioctl() gets called in
                        error = f.file->f_op->compat_ioctl(f.file, cmd, arg);
so you do *NOT* get compat_ptr() for those - they have to do it on their
own.  It's not hard to provide a proper compat_ioctl() instance for that
one, but this is not it.  What you need in drivers/char/random.c part of
that one is something like

Looping in some s390 folks.

As you suggested in another reply, I had a look at what other drivers
do the same thing and have only pointer arguments. I created a
patch to move them all over to using a new helper function that
adds the compat_ptr(), and arrived at

Out of those, there are only a few that may get used on s390,
in particular at most infiniband/uverbs, nvme, nvdimm,
btrfs, ceph, fuse, fanotify and userfaultfd.
[Note: there are three s390 drivers in the list, which use
a different method: they check in_compat_syscall() from
a shared handler to decide whether to do compat_ptr().

According to my memory from when I last worked on this,
the compat_ptr() is mainly a safeguard for legacy binaries
that got created with ancient C compilers (or compilers for
something other than C)  and might leave the high bit set
in a pointer, but modern C compilers (gcc-3+) won't ever
do that.

You are probably right about /dev/random, which could be
used in lots of weird code, but I wonder to what degree we
need to worry about it for the rest.

And compat_ptr clears the upper 32-bit of the register. If
the register is loaded to e.g. "lr" or "l" there will be
junk in the 4 upper bytes.

It works fine for you, but wouldn't work on architecture-independent
code, since 32-bit architectures generally don't provide
a compat_ptr() implementation. This could of course
be changed easily, but after this change it, your drivers
work just as well with a couple few lines, and more consistent
with other drivers:

I don't think we hit that problem anywhere: in the ioctl
argument we pass an 'unsigned long' that has already
been zero-extended by the compat_sys_ioctl() wrapper,
while any other usage would get extended by the compiler
when casting from compat_uptr_t to a 64-bit type.
This would be different if you had a function call with the
wrong prototype, i.e. calling a function declared as taking
an compat_uptr_t, but defining it as taking a void __user*.
(I suppose that is undefined behavior).

Unless I'm missing something, compat_ptr() should
always just clear bit 31. What I'd like to confirm is whether
you have encountered any code that actually passes
a pointer with that bit set by a user application in the
past 15 years. As Al said, it's probably best to just always
apply the compat_ptr() conversion in each case that s390
needs it even for drivers that don't run on s390, but I'd also
like to understand how much it matters in practice.
(A separate question would be how long we expect to need
32 bit compat mode on arch/s390 at all, but for the moment
I assume this is not up for debate at all).

So generic_compat_ioctl_ptrarg will to the compat_ptr thing on the
"unsigned int cmd" argument? Should work just fine.

That is true. For the ioctls we have a compat "unsigned int"
or "unsigned long" and the system call wrapper must have cleared
the upper half already. There are a few places where we copy
a data structure from user space, then read a 32-bit pointer
from the structure. These get the compat_ptr treatment as well.
All of those structure definitions should use compat_uptr_t
though, the compiler has to do the zero extension at the time
the 32-bit value is cast to a pointer.

I don't know if that is worth the risk, yes it should work if
compat_ptr just removes bit 31 and leaves the other bits alone.
But if you have to clear one bit, you can as well remove all
the other bits as well.

It will do it on the "unsigned long arg" argument, I assume that's
what you meant. The "cmd" argument is correctly zero-extended
by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE() wrapper on architectures
that need that (IIRC s390 is in that category).

There is actually one more case: A number of the newer
interfaces that have ioctl structures with indirect pointers
encoded as __u64, so the layout becomes
and we don't normally need a conversion handler.

An example of this would be the sys_rseq() system call
that passes a relatively complex structure in place
of a pointer:

struct rseq {
        ...
        union {
                __u64 ptr64;
#ifdef __LP64__
                __u64 ptr;
#else
                struct {
#if (defined(__BYTE_ORDER) && (__BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN)) ||
defined(__BIG_ENDIAN)
                        __u32 padding;          /* Initialized to zero. */
                        __u32 ptr32;
#else /* LITTLE */
                        __u32 ptr32;
                        __u32 padding;          /* Initialized to zero. */
#endif /* ENDIAN */
                } ptr;
#endif
        } rseq_cs;
       __u32 flags;
};

We require user space to initialize the __padding field to
zero and then use the ptr64 field in the kernel as a pointer:

        u64 ptr;
        u32 __user *usig;
        copy_from_user(&ptr, &t->rseq->rseq_cs.ptr64, sizeof(ptr));
        urseq_cs = (struct rseq_cs __user *)(unsigned long)ptr;

but we don't ever clear bit 31 here. A similar pattern is used
in many device drivers (I could not find any that would apply to
s390 though). In theory, 32 bit user space might pass a pointer
with the high bit set in the ptr32 field, and that gets misinterpreted
by the kernel (resulting in -EFAULT).

It would be interesting to know whether there could be user space
that gets compiled from portable source code with a normal
C compiler but produces that high bit set, as opposed to someone
intentially settting the bit just to trigger the bug.

[PATCH 11/11] compat_ioctl: move tape handling into drivers

[Arnd Bergmann]

MTIOCPOS and MTIOCGET are incompatible between 32-bit and 64-bit user
space, and traditionally have been translated in fs/compat_ioctl.c.

To get rid of that translation handler, move a corresponding
implementation into each of the four drivers implementing those commands.

The interesting part of that is now in a new linux/mtio.h header that
wraps the existing uapi/linux/mtio.h header and provides an abstraction
to let drivers handle both cases easily.

Ugh...  Frankly, this bool compat passed all way down looks wrong.
I can live with that; the question is whether block folks will be
OK with that thing...

I have tried to come up with an alternative, but couldn't really find anything
that is less ugly. Since nobody else complained, I'll resend this version
along with the other patches.

Actually, there was one idea that Deepa mentioned for another subsystem
with a similar issue: instead of passing down the fact that we come from
a compat syscall through multiple function calls, the lowest ones
(put_user_mtpos, put_user_mtget) could call in_compat_syscall().

Would you prefer that?
