* drm/radeon/kms: Fix oops after radeon_cs_parser_init() failure.Michel Dänzer2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | If radeon_cs_parser_init() fails, radeon_cs_ioctl() calls radeon_cs_parser_fini() with the non-zero error value. The latter dereferenced parser->ib which hasn't been initialized yet -> boom. Add a test for parser->ib being non-NULL before dereferencing it.

* drm/radeon/kms: Bailout of blit if error happen & protect with mutex V3Jerome Glisse2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an error happen in r600_blit_prepare_copy report it rather than WARNING and keeping execution. For instance if ib allocation failed we did just warn about but then latter tried to access NULL ib ptr causing oops. This patch also protect r600_copy_blit with a mutex as otherwise one process might overwrite blit temporary data with new one possibly leading to GPU lockup. Should partialy or totaly fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553279 V2 failing blit initialization is not fatal, fallback to memcpy when this happen V3 init blit before startup as we pin in startup, remove duplicate code (this one was actualy tested unlike V2) Signed-off-by: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

* drm/kms/radeon: pick digitial encoders smarter. (v3)Dave Airlie2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | booting a Lenovo W500 with LVDS + DP outputs showed up a TODO we had on our list, to pick a correct digital encoder block. The LVTMA encoder requires the second digital encoder, all others can use any encoder at all. This fixes the digital encoder selection logic to enable LVDS/DP combos to work okay. V2: fix silly addition of connector dig_block and cleanup the other places in the code that pick the encoder. V3: rename to dig_encoder and clean up further - also fix the picking algorithm. tested on Lenovo W500 + desktop 3650 cards. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

| * drm/radeon: r6xx/r7xx possible security issue, system ram accessJerome Glisse2010-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch workaround a possible security issue which can allow user to abuse drm on r6xx/r7xx hw to access any system ram memory. This patch doesn't break userspace, it detect "valid" old use of CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG & CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE registers and overwritte the address these registers are pointing to with the one of the last color buffer. This workaround will work for old mesa & xf86-video-ati and any old user which did use similar register programming pattern as those (we expect that there is no others user of those ioctl except possibly a malicious one). This patch add a warning if it detects such usage, warning encourage people to update their mesa & xf86-video-ati. New userspace will submit proper relocation. Fix for xf86-video-ati / mesa (this kernel patch is enough to prevent abuse, fix for userspace are to set proper cs stream and avoid kernel warning) : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=95d63e408cc88b6934bec84a0b1ef94dfe8bee7b http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=46dc6fd3ed5ef96cda53641a97bc68c3bc104a9f Abusing this register to perform system ram memory is not easy, here is outline on how it could be achieve. First attacker must have access to the drm device and be able to submit command stream throught cs ioctl. Then attacker must build a proper command stream for r6xx/r7xx hw which will abuse the FRAG or TILE buffer to overwrite the GPU GART which is in VRAM. To achieve so attacker as to setup CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG or CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE to point to the GPU GART, then it has to find a way to write predictable value into those buffer (with little cleverness i believe this can be done but this is an hard task). Once attacker have such program it can overwritte GPU GART to program GPU gart to point anywhere in system memory. It then can reusse same method as he used to reprogram GART to overwritte the system ram through the GART mapping. In the process the attacker has to be carefull to not overwritte any sensitive area of the GART table, like ring or IB gart entry as it will more then likely lead to GPU lockup. Bottom line is that i think it's very hard to use this flaw to get system ram access but in theory one can achieve so. Side note: I am not aware of anyone ever using the GPU as an attack vector, nevertheless we take great care in the opensource driver to try to detect and forbid malicious use of GPU. I don't think the closed source driver are as cautious as we are. Signed-off-by: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we take down the sgdma engine without evicting all buffers from VRAM. The TTM device release will try to evict anything in VRAM to GART memory, but this will fail since sgdma has already been taken down. This causes an infinite loop in kernel mode on module unload. It usually doesn't happen because there aren't any buffer on close. However, if the GPU is locked up, this condition is easily triggered. This patch fixes it in the simplest way possible by cleaning VRAM right before cleaning SGDMA memory.

| * | drm/nouveau: Acknowledge DMA_VTX_PROTECTION PGRAPH interruptsLuca Barbieri2010-01-17

These errors are caused both by bugs in the Gallium driver and by user-specified index buffers with out of bounds indices. By mmio-tracing the nVidia drivers, I found out how this is done. On DMA_VTX_PROTECTION, The nVidia driver reads the register 0x402000, always getting the value 4, and then writes 4 back to 0x402000. This patch adds that logic by reading 0x402000 and writing the same value back. It's unclear what should happen if the value read is not 4, and the current approach might not be the correct one. To test this, modify mesa/progs/trivial/vbo-drawrange.c, defining ELTOBJ to 1 and replacing indices with huge out of bounds integers. Without this patch, the GPU and/or kernel should lock up. With this patch, it should misrender as expected but not lock up. The errors are still logged since they are useful for development. This has been tested on NV49 and may not work on other cards. To find out how things work on other cards, run the aforementioned test using the blob with mmiotrace and grep for a read of the PGRAPH source register.
