saner calling conventions for csum_and_copy_..._user()

2020-08-20T19:45:15Z

All callers of these primitives will * discard anything we might've copied in case of error * ignore the csum value in case of error * always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0. That suggest the following calling conventions: * don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error. * don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error * don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff. This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...(); the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series. Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck(); the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that freedom without any special comments. A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth a separate commit... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

csum_partial_copy_nocheck(): drop the last argument

2020-08-20T19:45:14Z

It's always 0. Note that we theoretically could use ~0U as well - result will be the same modulo 0xffff, _if_ the damn thing did the right thing for any value of initial sum; later we'll make use of that when convenient. However, unlike csum_and_copy_..._user(), there are instances that did not work for arbitrary initial sums; c6x is one such. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

unify generic instances of csum_partial_copy_nocheck()

2020-08-20T19:45:14Z

quite a few architectures have the same csum_partial_copy_nocheck() - simply memcpy() the data and then return the csum of the copy. hexagon, parisc, ia64, s390, um: explicitly spelled out that way. arc, arm64, csky, h8300, m68k/nommu, microblaze, mips/GENERIC_CSUM, nds32, nios2, openrisc, riscv, unicore32: end up picking the same thing spelled out in lib/checksum.h (with varying amounts of perversions along the way). everybody else (alpha, arm, c6x, m68k/mmu, mips/!GENERIC_CSUM, powerpc, sh, sparc, x86, xtensa) have non-generic variants. For all except c6x the declaration is in their asm/checksum.h. c6x uses the wrapper from asm-generic/checksum.h that would normally lead to the lib/checksum.h instance, but in case of c6x we end up using an asm function from arch/c6x instead. Screw that mess - have architectures with private instances define _HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY in their asm/checksum.h and have the default one right in net/checksum.h conditional on _HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY *not* defined.

default csum_and_copy_to_user(): don't bother with access_ok()

take the dummy csum_and_copy_from_user() into net/checksum.h

2020-05-29T20:11:50Z

now that can be done conveniently - all non-trivial cases have _HAVE_ARCH_COPY_AND_CSUM_FROM_USER defined, so the fallback in net/checksum.h is used only for dummy (copy_from_user, then csum_partial) implementation. Allowing us to get rid of all dummy instances, both of csum_and_copy_from_user() and csum_partial_copy_from_user(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

csum: Update csum_block_add to use rotate instead of byteswap

2016-03-13T19:01:00Z

The code for csum_block_add was doing a funky byteswap to swap the even and odd bytes of the checksum if the offset was odd. Instead of doing this we can save ourselves some trouble and just shift by 8 as this should have the same effect in terms of the final checksum value and only requires one instruction. In addition we can update csum_block_sub to just use csum_block_add with a inverse value for csum2. This way we follow the same code path as csum_block_add without having to duplicate it.
