Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.

  Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
  updates:

   - software node fixes

   - kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs, not
     when it is removed from memory (which could come much later)

   - device link additions and fixes based on testing on more devices

   - firmware core cleanups

   - other minor changes, full details in the shortlog

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Benjamin Herrenschmidt solved a problem with non-matched console
   aliases by first checking consoles defined on the command line. It is
   a more conservative approach than the previous attempts.

 - Benjamin also made sure that the console accessible via /dev/console
   always has CON_CONSDEV flag.

 - Andy Shevchenko added the %ptT modifier for printing struct time64_t.
   It extends the existing %ptR handling for struct rtc_time.

 - Bruno Meneguele fixed /dev/kmsg error value returned by unsupported
   SEEK_CUR.

 - Tetsuo Handa removed unused pr_cont_once().

... and a few small fixes.

Sometimes it is better to unregister individual nodes instead of trying
to do them all at once with software_node_unregister_nodes(), so create
software_node_unregister() so that you can unregister them one at a
time.

This is especially important when creating nodes in a hierarchy, with
parent -&gt; children representations.  Children always need to be removed
before a parent is, as the swnode logic assumes this is going to be the
case.

Fix up the lib/test_printf.c fwnode_pointer() test which to use this new
function as it had the problem of tearing things down in the backwards
order.

There are users which print time and date represented by content of

Instead of open coding that each time introduce %ptT[dt][r] specifier.

Few test cases for %ptT specifier has been added as well.

<title>vsprintf: don't obfuscate NULL and error pointers</title>
<updated>2020-05-19T18:35:38+00:00</updated>
<author>

<published>2020-05-19T11:26:57+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=7bd57fbc4a4ddedc664cad0bbced1b469e24e921'/>
<id>7bd57fbc4a4ddedc664cad0bbced1b469e24e921</id>
<content type='text'>
I don't see what security concern is addressed by obfuscating NULL
and IS_ERR() error pointers, printed with %p/%pK.  Given the number
of sites where %p is used (over 10000) and the fact that NULL pointers
aren't uncommon, it probably wouldn't take long for an attacker to
find the hash that corresponds to 0.  Although harder, the same goes
for most common error values, such as -1, -2, -11, -14, etc.

The NULL part actually fixes a regression: NULL pointers weren't
obfuscated until commit 3e5903eb9cff ("vsprintf: Prevent crash when
dereferencing invalid pointers") which went into 5.2.  I'm tacking
the IS_ERR() part on here because error pointers won't leak kernel
addresses and printing them as pointers shouldn't be any different
from e.g. %d with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO().  Obfuscating them just makes
debugging based on existing pr_debug and friends excruciating.

Note that the "always print 0's for %pK when kptr_restrict == 2"
behaviour which goes way back is left as is.

Example output with the patch applied:

                             ptr         error-ptr              NULL
 %p:            0000000001f8cc5b  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 0: 0000000001f8cc5b  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %px:           ffff888048c04020  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 1: ffff888048c04020  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 2: 0000000000000000  0000000000000000  0000000000000000

It has been suggested several times to extend vsnprintf() to be able
to convert the numeric value of ENOSPC to print "ENOSPC". This
implements that as a %p extension: With %pe, one can do

  if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
    pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %pe\n", foo);
    return PTR_ERR(foo);
  }

instead of what is seen in quite a few places in the kernel:

  if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
    pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(foo));
    return PTR_ERR(foo);
  }

If the value passed to %pe is an ERR_PTR, but the library function
errname() added here doesn't know about the value, the value is simply
printed in decimal. If the value passed to %pe is not an ERR_PTR, we
treat it as an ordinary %p and thus print the hashed value (passing
non-ERR_PTR values to %pe indicates a bug in the caller, but we can't
do much about that).

With my embedded hat on, and because it's not very invasive to do,
I've made it possible to remove this. The errname() function and
associated lookup tables take up about 3K. For most, that's probably
quite acceptable and a price worth paying for more readable
dmesg (once this starts getting used), while for those that disable
printk() it's of very little use - I don't see a
procfs/sysfs/seq_printf() file reasonably making use of this - and
they clearly want to squeeze vmlinux as much as possible. Hence the
default y if PRINTK.

The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of

  find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E'

In the cases where some common aliasing exists
(e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most),
I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc)
to the bottom so that one takes precedence.
