2021-05-07drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for goodDavid Hildenbrand1-1/+0
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

2016-08-02config: add android config fragmentsRob Herring1-0/+152
Copy the config fragments from the AOSP common kernel android-4.4 branch. It is becoming possible to run mainline kernels with Android, but the kernel defconfigs don't work as-is and debugging missing config options is a pain. Adding the config fragments into the kernel tree, makes configuring a mainline kernel as simple as: make ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig android-base.config android-recommended.config The following non-upstream config options were removed: CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2 CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2_LOG CONFIG_PPPOLAC CONFIG_PPPOPNS CONFIG_SECURITY_PERF_EVENTS_RESTRICT CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MTP CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_PTP CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_ACC CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_AUDIO_SRC CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_UEVENT CONFIG_INPUT_KEYCHORD CONFIG_INPUT_KEYRESET Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466708235-28593-1-git-send-email-robh@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Cc: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Cc: Dmitry Shmidt <dimitrysh@google.com> Cc: Rom Lemarchand <romlem@android.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
