[PATCH 5.19 021/101] x86/uaccess: avoid check_object_size() in copy_from_user_nmi()
Posted by Greg Kroah-Hartman 3 years, 6 months ago

commit 59298997df89e19aad426d4ae0a7e5037074da5a upstream.

The check_object_size() helper under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is designed
to skip any checks where the length is known at compile time as a
reasonable heuristic to avoid "likely known-good" cases.  However, it can
only do this when the copy_*_user() helpers are, themselves, inline too.

Using find_vmap_area() requires taking a spinlock.  The
check_object_size() helper can call find_vmap_area() when the destination
is in vmap memory.  If show_regs() is called in interrupt context, it will
attempt a call to copy_from_user_nmi(), which may call check_object_size()
and then find_vmap_area().  If something in normal context happens to be
in the middle of calling find_vmap_area() (with the spinlock held), the
interrupt handler will hang forever.

The copy_from_user_nmi() call is actually being called with a fixed-size
length, so check_object_size() should never have been called in the first
place.  Given the narrow constraints, just replace the
__copy_from_user_inatomic() call with an open-coded version that calls
only into the sanitizers and not check_object_size(), followed by a call
to raw_copy_from_user().
