2012-10-25gen_init_cpio: avoid stack overflow when expandingKees Cook
Fix possible overflow of the buffer used for expanding environment variables when building file list. In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the environment variables visible to gen_init_cpio, control over the contents of the file gen_init_cpio parses, and gen_init_cpio was built without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution control via a stack buffer overflow. $ cat usr/crash.list file foo ${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG} 0755 0 0 $ BIG=$(perl -e 'print "A" x 4096;') ./usr/gen_init_cpio usr/crash.list *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./usr/gen_init_cpio terminated This also replaces the space-indenting with tabs.

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

2011-01-13decompressors: add boot-time XZ supportLasse Collin
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd; XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes. The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel. Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be increased (30 KiB is enough). The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2010-12-29gen_init_cpio: Avoid race between call to stat() and call to open()Jesper Juhl
In usr/gen_init_cpio.c::cpio_mkfile() a call to stat() is made based on pathname, subsequently the file is open()'ed and then the value of the initial stat() call is used to allocate a buffer. This is not safe since the file may change between the call to stat() and the call to open(). Safer to just open() the file and then do fstat() using the filedescriptor returned by open.

2010-10-31initramfs: Fix initramfs size for 32-bit archesGeert Uytterhoeven
Commit ffe8018c3424 ("initramfs: fix initramfs size calculation") broke 32-bit big-endian arches like (on ARAnyM): VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(3,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: fe80 1059408 nfhd8 (driver?) fe81 921600 nfhd8p1 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000nfhd8p1 fe82 137807 nfhd8p2 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000nfhd8p2 0200 3280 fd0 (driver?) 0201 3280 fd1 (driver?) 0300 1059408 hda driver: ide-gd 0301 921600 hda1 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000hda1 0302 137807 hda2 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000hda2 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) As pointed out by Kerstin Jonsson <kerstin.jonsson@ericsson.com>, this is due to CONFIG_32BIT not being defined, so the initramfs size field is done as a 64-bit quad. On little-endian (like x86) this doesn matter, but on a big-endian machine the 32-bit reads will see the (zero) high bits. Only mips, s390, and score set CONFIG_32BIT for 32-bit builds, so fix it for all other 32-bit arches by inverting the logic and testing for CONFIG_64BIT, which should be defined on all 64-bit arches.

2010-09-29initramfs: fix initramfs size calculationHendrik Brueckner
The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by "__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start". Those symbols are defined in the linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: #define INIT_RAM_FS \ . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .; \ *(.init.ramfs) \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .; If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end" symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the System.map might look like: 0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start 00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end <-- odd address At least on s390 this causes a problem: Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses (larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses. The compiler loads the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction. This instruction sets the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size is one byte less than it should be: 0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>: 540a9c: eb cf f0 78 00 24 stmg %r12,%r15,120(%r15), 540aa2: c0 10 00 01 8a af larl %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start> 540aa8: c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e larl %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end> (Instead of 5bcd05) ... 540abe: 1b c1 sr %r12,%r1 To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable __initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file. The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the .init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the initramfs. Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the __initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

Modify gen_init_cpio so that lines that specify files can contain what looks like a shell variable that's expanded during processing. For example: file /sbin/kinit ${RFS_BASE}/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0 given RFS_BASE is "/some/directory" in the environment would be expanded to file /sbin/kinit /some/directory/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0 If several environment variables appear in a line, they are all expanded with processing happening from left to right. Undefined variables expand to a null string. Syntax errors stop processing, letting the existing error handling show the user offending line.

2007-02-11[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.cJean-Paul Saman
The file init/initramfs.c is always compiled and linked in the kernel vmlinux even when BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INITRD are disabled and the system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd. In this situation the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem. The current init/initramfs.c code. usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size of ~15 kbytes. Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel code size with ~60 Kbytes. This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined. Instead of the initramfs code and data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the kernel initialisation process. The new code is: 164 bytes of size. The patch is separated in two parts: 1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set 2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

2006-11-25[PATCH] initramfs: handle more than one source dir or file listThomas Chou
Fix bug 7401. Handle more than one source dir or file list to the initramfs gen scripts. The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple space-separated sources in order to allow unprivileged users to build an image. There are two bugs in the current implementation that prevent this from working. First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it obviously can't open. Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for deps_initramfs -- one for each argument.

2006-09-25kbuild: consistently decide when to rebuild a targetSam Ravnborg
Consistently decide when to rebuild a target across all of if_changed, if_changed_dep, if_changed_rule. PHONY targets are now treated alike (ignored) for all targets While add it make Kbuild.include almost readable by factoring out a few bits to some common variables and reuse this in Makefile.build.

2006-08-07kbuild: do not try to build content of initramfsSam Ravnborg
When a file supplied via CONFIG_INITRAMFS pointed to a file for which kbuild had a rule to compile it (foo.c => foo.o) then kbuild would compile the file before adding the file to the initramfs. Teach make that files included in initramfs shall not be updated by adding an 'empty command'. (See "Using Empty Commands" in info make). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-04-19[PATCH] Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpioJesper Juhl
Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity checker. This fixes coverity bug #86 Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the "if ('\n' == *type) {" line.

2006-04-11kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changesSam Ravnborg
initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed. To fix this the following was done: - let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included in the initramfs - gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify the kbuild file (Makefile) - utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes the initramfs will be rebuild With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

2005-10-18Add some basic .gitignore filesLinus Torvalds
This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone, but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should ignore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-10kconfig: move initramfs options to General SetupSam Ravnborg
Move initramfs options from Device Drivers | Block Drivers to General Setup This is a more natural place for this option. Furthermore separate out intramfs options to usr/Kconfig Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2005-07-25kbuild: introduce Kbuild.includeSam Ravnborg
Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build. There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> ---
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
