Subject: [PATCH v5] x86/kexec: fix potential cmem->ranges out of bounds
Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 15:38:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aBxfflkkQXTetmbq@MiWiFi-R3L-srv> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240108130720.228478-1-fuqiang.wang@easystack.cn>

In memmap_exclude_ranges(), elfheader will be excluded from crashk_res.
In the current x86 architecture code, the elfheader is always allocated
at crashk_res.start. It seems that there won't be a new split range.
But it depends on the allocation position of elfheader in crashk_res. To
avoid potential out of bounds in future, add a extra slot. And using
random kexec_buf for passing dm crypt keys may cause a range split too,
add another extra slot here.

The similar issue also exists in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). The range to
be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not appear in the
middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. But in cast the low 1M could be
changed in the future, add a extra slot too.

- This is on top of Coiby's LUKS patchset in branch mm-nonmm-unstable of
  akpm/mm.git. I did some adaption based on Coiby's patches.
- [PATCH v9 0/8] Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys
