| * | random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing dataDaniel Borkmann2014-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7) memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy, entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc. Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants) that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto code.

| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This font is suitable for framebuffer consoles on devices with a 320x240 screen, to get a reasonable number of characters (53x24) that are still at a readable size. The font is derived from the existing 6x11 font, but gets 3 extra lines without sacrificing readability. Also I redesigned a some glyhps so they are more distinct and better fill the available space.

This patch (of 11): The documentation of API belongs to c-file. This patch moves it accordingly. There is no functional change.

* | | lib: string: Make all calls to strnicmp into calls to strncasecmpRasmus Villemoes2014-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous patch made strnicmp into a wrapper for strncasecmp. This patch makes all in-tree users of strnicmp call strncasecmp directly, while still making sure that the strnicmp symbol can be used by out-of-tree modules. It should be considered a temporary hack until all in-tree callers have been converted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lib/string.c contains two functions, strnicmp and strncasecmp, which do roughly the same thing, namely compare two strings case-insensitively up to a given bound. They have slightly different implementations, but the only important difference is that strncasecmp doesn't handle len==0 appropriately; it effectively becomes strcasecmp in that case. strnicmp correctly says that two strings are always equal in their first 0 characters. strncasecmp is the POSIX name for this functionality. So rename the non-broken function to the standard name. To minimize the impact on the rest of the kernel (and since both are exported to modules), make strnicmp a wrapper for strncasecmp.

* | | lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKMValentin Rothberg2014-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel module. Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to indicate it. switch (*value) { case 'n': break; case 'm': suffix = "_MODULE"; /* fall through */ This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent use of the "_MODULE" suffix. This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to "TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.
