Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/vdso64: Use double word compare on pointers
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 17:16:53 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474787813-22587-1-git-send-email-anton@ozlabs.org> (raw)
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
__kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_clock_getres use cmpli to
check if the passed in pointer is non zero. cmpli maps to a 32 bit
compare on binutils, so we ignore the top 32 bits.
A simple test case can be created by passing in a bogus pointer with
the bottom 32 bits clear. Using a clk_id that is handled by the VDSO,
then one that is handled by the kernel shows the problem:
printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME, (void *)0x100000000));
printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, (void *)0x100000000));
And we get:
0
-1
The bigger issue is if we pass a valid pointer with the bottom 32 bits
clear, in this case we will return success but won't write any data
to the pointer.
I stumbled across this issue because the LLVM integrated assembler
doesn't accept cmpli with 3 arguments. Fix this by converting them to
cmpldi.
