Commit Message

Arnd Bergmann Sept. 12, 2018, 3:01 p.m. UTC
Many drivers have ioctl() handlers that are completely compatible
between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, except for the argument
that is passed down from user space and may have to be passed
through compat_ptr() in order to become a valid 64-bit pointer.

Using ".compat_ptr=generic_compat_ioctl_ptrarg" in file operations
should let us simplify a lot of those drivers to avoid #ifdef
checks, and convert additional drivers that don't have proper
compat handling yet.

Arnd, would you consider including a patch as part of/after this
series to make compat_ioctl in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c
use this as well?  Looks like a bug too?

Thanks,

Have you verified that all the relevant ioctl buffer structures are
exactly the same for 32bit and 64bit applications?

Just keep in mind that this should *only* be used when all
ioctls implemented in a given instance do take pointers.
Because otherwise you are asking for trouble - e.g. if one of
them takes an u32 used as a bitmap, this will run into trouble
as soon as somebody uses bit 31.  With no visible warnings.

IOW, it shouldn't be used blindly and it should come with big
fat warning.

I was hoping that the _ptrarg suffix gives enough warning here,
but maybe not. I was careful to only use it in cases that I
checked are safe, either using only pointer arguments, or
no arguments.

What we might do for further clarification (besides adding a
comment next to the declaration), would be to add a
complementary generic_compat_ioctl_intarg() that skips
the compat_ptr(). There are only a handful of drivers that
would use this though.

As for a longer term solution, would it be possible to init fops in such
a way that the compat_ioctl call defaults to generic_compat_ioctl_ptrarg
so we don't have to duplicate this boilerplate for every ioctl fops
structure?

That could work well, but the first idea could be done globally and
mechanically, while this would require very careful per-driver
investigation. 

Particularly if the core code has worse performance.. ie due to
kmalloc calls or something.

I think it would make more sense to start by having the core do the
case to __user and then add another entry point to have the core do
the copy_from_user, and so on.

... and the next Monday zeniv went down until the end of September,
so I'd missed any resends that might've happened in that window.

It's _probably_ too late for this cycle, but let's deal with that
thing properly for the next one.  A couple of comments from rereading
the thread:
	* generic_compat_ioctl_fthagn^H^H^H^H^H^Hptrarg should not
be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().  I'm sorry, but this is beyond ridiculous -
"call native ioctl, with the last argument interpreted as an address
from 32bit process POV and converted to 64bit equivalent" should
not be copyrightable at all, and there's really only one natural
way to express that.  Use EXPORT_SYMBOL().  And I'd consider names
like compat_ptr_ioctl() - easier to type and less opaque...
	* rtc patch makes RTC_IRQP_SET32 et.al. accepted by 64bit
syscall.  Which is a behaviour change that might or might not be
OK, but it needs to be clearly stated.

Could you resend the series, with ACKs attached, etc., either
based on -next (if done now) or on -rc1 (once released)?

Right, I don't think we're in a hurry, so I'll rebase my patches
once -rc1 is out and send you the new version.

Yes. I was aware of the change in behavior and have done similar
changes for simplicity on y2038 ioctl patches in the past, but
you are right that this should be mentioned in the changelog.
