* alpha: Prevent a NULL ptr dereference in csum_partial_copy.Jay Estabrook2013-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduced by 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c92 ("kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()"). Also fix some other places which could be problematic in a similar way, although they hadn't been proved so, as far as I can tell.

* kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()Mathieu Desnoyers2013-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

* [NET]: Alpha checksum annotations and cleanups.Al Viro2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | * sanitize prototypes and annotate * kill useless access_ok() in csum_partial_copy_from_user() (the only caller checks it already). * do_csum_partial_copy_from_user() is not needed now * replace htons(len) with len << 8 - they are the same wrt checksums on little-endian.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
