vmci: prevent speculation leaks by sanitizing event in event_deliver()

2024-05-03T05:28:53+00:00

Coverity spotted that event_msg is controlled by user-space,
event_msg->event_data.event is passed to event_deliver() and used
as an index without sanitization.

This change ensures that the event index is sanitized to mitigate any
possibility of speculative information leaks.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

Only compile tested, no access to HW.

misc: vmw_vmci: Rename kvfree_rcu() to kvfree_rcu_mightsleep()

2023-04-05T13:48:03+00:00

The kvfree_rcu() macro's single-argument form is deprecated.  Therefore
switch to the new kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() variant. The goal is to
avoid accidental use of the single-argument forms, which can introduce
functionality bugs in atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic
contexts.

misc: vmw_vmci: Switch to kvfree_rcu() API

2021-12-21T09:25:15+00:00

Instead of invoking a synchronize_rcu() to free a pointer
after a grace period we can directly make use of new API
that does the same but in more efficient way.

sched/headers: Prepare to use instead of in

2017-03-02T07:42:38+00:00

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.
