[PATCH for-stable-6.x 0/2] Stable backport of c00b413a96261fae

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

This is the stable backport of commit

  c00b413a96261fae ("x86/boot: Sanitize boot params before parsing command line")

to the v6.6 and v6.1 trees.

Patch #2 can be applied to both v6.1 and v6.6. Patch #1 is a
prerequisite that is already present in v6.1 but was not backported to
v6.6 yet for reasons that are unclear to me, and so it needs to be
applied to v6.6 first.


Ard Biesheuvel (2):
  x86/boot: Rename conflicting 'boot_params' pointer to
    'boot_params_ptr'
  x86/boot: Sanitize boot params before parsing command line

[PATCH for-stable-6.x 1/2] x86/boot: Rename conflicting 'boot_params' pointer to 'boot_params_ptr'

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

commit d55d5bc5d937743aa8ebb7ca3af25111053b5d8c upstream.

The x86 decompressor is built and linked as a separate executable, but
it shares components with the kernel proper, which are either #include'd
as C files, or linked into the decompresor as a static library (e.g, the
EFI stub)

Both the kernel itself and the decompressor define a global symbol
'boot_params' to refer to the boot_params struct, but in the former
case, it refers to the struct directly, whereas in the decompressor, it
refers to a global pointer variable referring to the struct boot_params
passed by the bootloader or constructed from scratch.

This ambiguity is unfortunate, and makes it impossible to assign this
decompressor variable from the x86 EFI stub, given that declaring it as
extern results in a clash. So rename the decompressor version (whose
scope is limited) to boot_params_ptr.

[ mingo: Renamed 'boot_params_p' to 'boot_params_ptr' for clarity ]

[PATCH for-stable-6.x 2/2] x86/boot: Sanitize boot params before parsing command line

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

commit c00b413a96261faef4ce22329153c6abd4acef25 upstream.

The 5-level paging code parses the command line to look for the 'no5lvl'
string, and does so very early, before sanitize_boot_params() has been
called and has been given the opportunity to wipe bogus data from the
fields in boot_params that are not covered by struct setup_header, and
are therefore supposed to be initialized to zero by the bootloader.

This triggers an early boot crash when using syslinux-efi to boot a
recent kernel built with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y and CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n, as
the 0xff padding that now fills the unused PE/COFF header is copied into
boot_params by the bootloader, and interpreted as the top half of the
command line pointer.

Fix this by sanitizing the boot_params before use. Note that there is no
harm in calling this more than once; subsequent invocations are able to
spot that the boot_params have already been cleaned up.
