selftests/bpf: Test packet range of pointers sharing an idgrafted
Add tests where two packet pointers share an id and tightening one
pointer's umax from its var_off would put it less than their constant
distance from the other's umax: with an index & 0x38 capped at 50, the
base pointer keeps umax 50, so the pointer 8 bytes further on must keep
umax 58, even though its known bits allow at most 56.
These refused a valid program or accepted an out-of-bounds access before
the fix:
- check the advanced copy, load through the base: valid, was refused;
- check the base, load the byte at base + 1 through a copy advanced by
8: was accepted;
- check base + 4, load 4 bytes at base + 2 through base + 8: reads two
bytes past the checked range, was accepted;
- the same as the second with data_meta pointers checked against data:
was accepted.
These pass with and without the fix and cover nearby paths:
- subtract an unknown scalar from a checked pointer and load below it
(the range is kept across a new id);
- reach a load through two paths whose checks cover 8 and 7 bytes after
the loaded pointer; the second path must not be pruned by the first;
- spill a copy of a pointer, check the pointer, fill the copy and load
one byte past the checked range: the load is refused, and the copy
has the range of the check.

These +structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h. They are fb_info, +fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs. The last +three can be made available to and from userland. + +fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card. Inside +fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a collection of +needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work. fb_info is only visible +to the kernel. + +fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card +that are user defined. With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as depth +and the resolution may be defined. + +The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the properties +of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't be changed +otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the frame buffer +memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer memory, so that it +cannot be changed or moved. + +The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was little +importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things such as +setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With the new API, +fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used correctly, can prevent a +monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs will not be useful until +kernels 2.5.x. + +Frame Buffer Memory +------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c + :export: + +Frame Buffer Colormap +--------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c + :export: + +Frame Buffer Video Mode Database +-------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/video/fbdev/core/modedb.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/video/fbdev/core/modedb.c + :export: + +Frame Buffer Macintosh Video Mode Database +------------------------------------------ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/video/fbdev/macmodes.c + :export: + +Frame Buffer Fonts +------------------ + +Refer to the file lib/fonts/fonts.c for more information. + |
