Hi Linus,
Can you pull this branch, please? It consists of a set of patches that
annotate module parameters that configure hardware resources including
ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.
This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module parameters to
prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access to the running
kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under UEFI secure boot
conditions.
Annotations are made by changing:
module_param(n, t, p)
module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
module_param_array(n, t, m, p)
to:
module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)
where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting
hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can be
one of:
ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port
iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
irq Module parameter configures an I/O port
dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel
dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
other Module parameter configures some other value
Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for future
use.
A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.
The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files. The module
initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being set, by (1)
giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a reasonable default.
What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may take a
hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important modules, some
ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and allow hardware to be
manually specified; if the driver is aborts with any error, you don't get
any ipmi hardware.
Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.
[!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is left to a
patch in the next series to effect. It does mark annotated kernel
parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in an already existing
field.
[!] Further note that this series needs to be pulled after James Morris's
security/next. Pulling it at the end of the merge window should be fine
and it shouldn't be a problem if annotations are discarded due to merge
collisions.
