This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/uaccess: avoid check_object_size() in copy_from_user_nmi() to the 5.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-uaccess-avoid-check_object_size-in-copy_from_user_nmi.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 59298997df89e19aad426d4ae0a7e5037074da5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2022 13:16:48 -0700 Subject: x86/uaccess: avoid check_object_size() in copy_from_user_nmi() From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 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().
