2018-04-11kernel/params.c: downgrade warning for unsafe parametersChris Wilson
As using an unsafe module parameter is, by its very definition, an expected user action, emitting a warning is overkill. Nothing has yet gone wrong, and we add a taint flag for any future oops should something actually go wrong. So instead of having a user controllable pr_warn, downgrade it to a pr_notice for "a normal, but significant condition". We make use of unsafe kernel parameters in igt (https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/) (we have not yet succeeded in removing all such debugging options), which generates a warning and taints the kernel. The warning is unhelpful as we then need to filter it out again as we check that every test themselves do not provoke any kernel warnings.

2017-10-03kernel/params.c: fix an overflow in param_attr_showJean Delvare
Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on. The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, ...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the very end of the buffer. Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added past the end of the buffer (not OK.) Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the buffer originally. This is safe, and also faster. Credits to Teradata for discovering this issue.

2017-10-03kernel/params.c: fix the maximum length in param_get_stringJean Delvare
The length parameter of strlcpy() is supposed to reflect the size of the target buffer, not of the source string. Harmless in this case as the buffer is PAGE_SIZE long and the source string is always much shorter than this, but conceptually wrong, so let's fix it.

2015-06-23module: add per-module param_lockDan Streetman
Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params. Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module). The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works, there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/* config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param. This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them will never cause load-time param changing. This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

When a module_param is defined without DAC write permissions, it can still be changed at runtime and updated. Drivers using a 0444 permission may be surprised that these values can still be changed. For drivers that want to allow updates, any S_IW* flag will set the "store" function as before. Drivers without S_IW* flags will have the "store" function unset, unforcing a read-only value. Drivers that wish neither "store" nor "get" can continue to use "0" for perms to stay out of sysfs entirely.

2014-04-28param: hand arguments after -- straight to initRusty Russell
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module). This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments are for init. For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog" meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided. eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"' Gives: argv[0] = '/debug-init' argv[1] = 'test' argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true' envp[0] = 'HOME=/' envp[1] = 'TERM=linux' envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo' Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2013-09-03module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too earlyLi Zhong
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).

2013-08-20module: Add flag to allow mod params to have no argumentsSteven Rostedt
Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool() or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it fails the loading of the module. But there may be module parameters that have different set functions and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale. Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val". Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2012-05-04params.c: fix Smack complaint about parse_argsJim Cromie
In commit 9fb48c744: "params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signature", the if-guard added to the pr_debug was overzealous; no callers pass NULL, and existing code above and below the guard assumes as much.

2012-04-30params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signatureJim Cromie
Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked from parse_args(). The arg is passed as: "Booting kernel" from start_kernel(), initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(), mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one() parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to "doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above. parse_args() passes it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the unknown option handler callbacks. The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules, since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a "$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is called, the module name is not otherwise available. Minor tweaks: Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt identify the param being handled, add it. Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall, and number of registered initcalls at that level. This adds 7 lines to dmesg output, like: initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the pr_info() added above. This array is passed into parse_args() by do_initcall_level().

2012-03-26params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parametersPawel Moll
This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen level are executed. We rename the now-unused "flags" field of struct kernel_param as the level. It's signed, for when we use this for early params as well, in future. Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order to add additional symbols between levels that are later used by the init code to split the calls into blocks.

2012-01-13module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases.Rusty Russell
For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or an unsigned int). That's going away. A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give 'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1"). Use a new 'bint' parser for them. (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because it's also exposed via sysctl.)
