Subject: [PATCH 0/7] x86: uaccess hardening, easy part
Date: Tue, 24 May 2016 15:48:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1464129798.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)

This series hardens x86's uaccess code a bit.  It adds warnings for
some screwups, adds an OOPS for a major exploitable screwup, and it
improves debuggability a bit by indicating non-default fs in oopses.

It shouldn't cause any new OOPSes except in the particularly
dangerous case where the kernel faults on a kernel address under
USER_DS, which indicates that an access_ok is missing and is likely
to be easily exploitable -- OOPSing will make it harder to exploit.

I have some draft patches to force OOPSes on user address accesses
under KERNEL_DS (which is a big no-no), but I'd rather make those
warn instead of OOPSing, and I don't have a good implementation of
that yet.  Those patches aren't part of this series.

Andy Lutomirski (7):
  x86/xen: Simplify set_aliased_prot
  x86/extable: Pass error_code and an extra unsigned long to exhandlers
  x86/uaccess: Give uaccess faults their own handler
  x86/dumpstack: If addr_limit is non-default, display it
  x86/uaccess: Warn on uaccess faults other than #PF
  x86/uaccess: Don't fix up USER_DS uaccess faults to kernel addresses
  x86/uaccess: OOPS or warn on a fault with KERNEL_DS and
    !pagefault_disabled()
