H A Darmv8_deprecated.cdiff 32927393 Fri Apr 24 00:43:38 MDT 2020 Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

H A Dproc_sysctl.cdiff 45089437 Thu Feb 25 18:20:49 MST 2021 Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> proc: use kvzalloc for our kernel buffer

Since

sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

we have been pre-allocating a buffer to copy the data from the proc
handlers into, and then copying that to userspace. The problem is this
just blindly kzalloc()'s the buffer size passed in from the read, which in
the case of our 'cat' binary was 64kib. Order-4 allocations are not
awesome, and since we can potentially allocate up to our maximum order, so
use kvzalloc for these buffers.

Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the
signature of ftrace_enable_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse warning:

kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: expected void *
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: got void [noderef] __user *buffer

diff 32927393 Fri Apr 24 00:43:38 MDT 2020 Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.
