Most firmware names are hardcoded strings, or are constructed from fairly
constrained format strings where the dynamic parts are just some hex
numbers or such.
However, there are a couple codepaths in the kernel where firmware file
names contain string components that are passed through from a device or
semi-privileged userspace; the ones I could find (not counting interfaces
that require root privileges) are:
- lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update() seems to construct the firmware
filename from "ModelName", a string that was previously parsed out of
some descriptor ("Vital Product Data") in lpfc_fill_vpd()
- nfp_net_fw_find() seems to construct a firmware filename from a model
name coming from nfp_hwinfo_lookup(pf->hwinfo, "nffw.partno"), which I
think parses some descriptor that was read from the device.
(But this case likely isn't exploitable because the format string looks
like "netronome/nic_%s", and there shouldn't be any *folders* starting
with "netronome/nic_". The previous case was different because there,
the "%s" is *at the start* of the format string.)
- module_flash_fw_schedule() is reachable from the
ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_FW_FLASH_ACT netlink command, which is marked as
GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (meaning CAP_NET_ADMIN inside a user namespace is
enough to pass the privilege check), and takes a userspace-provided
firmware name.
(But I think to reach this case, you need to have CAP_NET_ADMIN over a
network namespace that a special kind of ethernet device is mapped into,
so I think this is not a viable attack path in practice.)
Fix it by rejecting any firmware names containing ".." path components.
For what it's worth, I went looking and haven't found any USB device
drivers that use the firmware loader dangerously.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
in here are:
- platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
to get here, finally!)
- Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
interactions.
It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.
- driver core const api changes.
This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
out.
This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
but are getting closer.
- minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
- arch_topology minor changes
- other minor driver core cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping
space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and
(2) kmap() also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool
wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a
slot becomes available.
kmap_local_page() is preferred over kmap() and kmap_atomic(). Where it
cannot mechanically replace the latters, code refactor should be considered
(special care must be taken if kernel virtual addresses are aliases in
different contexts).
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
Call kmap_local_page() in firmware_loader wherever kmap() is currently
used. In firmware_rw() use the helpers copy_{from,to}_page() instead of
open coding the local mappings + memcpy().

Commit 23cfbc6ec4 ("firmware: Add the support for ZSTD-compressed
firmware files") added support for ZSTD compression, but in the process
also made the previously default XZ compression a config option.
That means that anybody who upgrades their kernel and does a
make oldconfig
to update their configuration, will end up without the XZ compression
that the configuration used to have.
Add the 'default y' to make sure this doesn't happen.
The whole compression question should probably be improved upon, since
it is now possible to "enable" compression in the kernel config but not
enable any actual compression algorithm, which makes it all very
useless. It makes no sense to ask Kconfig questions that enable
situations that are nonsensical like that.
This at least fixes the immediate problem of a kernel update resulting
in a nonbootable machine because of a missed option.

"Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.
Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
the two major things are:
- firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
them.
- physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
bus types should support this in the future.
Smaller changes include:
- driver_override api cleanups and fixes
- error path cleanups and fixes
- get_abi script fixes
- deferred probe timeout changes.
It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a

Device drivers may decide to not load firmware when probed to avoid
slowing down the boot process should the firmware filesystem not be
available yet. In this case, the firmware loading request may be done
when a device file associated with the driver is first accessed. The
credentials of the userspace process accessing the device file may be
used to validate access to the firmware files requested by the driver.
Ensure that the kernel assumes the responsibility of reading the
firmware.
This was observed on Android for a graphic driver loading their firmware
when the device file (e.g. /dev/mali0) was first opened by userspace
(i.e. surfaceflinger). The security context of surfaceflinger was used
to validate the access to the firmware file (e.g.
/vendor/firmware/mali.bin).
Previously, Android configurations were not setting up the
firmware_class.path command line argument and were relying on the
userspace fallback mechanism. In this case, the security context of the
userspace daemon (i.e. ueventd) was consistently used to read firmware
files. More Android devices are now found to set firmware_class.path
which gives the kernel the opportunity to read the firmware directly
(via kernel_read_file_from_path_initns). In this scenario, the current
process credentials were used, even if unrelated to the loading of the
firmware file.

Extend the firmware subsystem to support a persistent sysfs interface that
userspace may use to initiate a firmware update. For example, FPGA based
PCIe cards load firmware and FPGA images from local FLASH when the card
boots. The images in FLASH may be updated with new images provided by the
user at his/her convenience.
A device driver may call firmware_upload_register() to expose persistent
"loading" and "data" sysfs files. These files are used in the same way as
the fallback sysfs "loading" and "data" files. When 0 is written to
"loading" to complete the write of firmware data, the data is transferred
to the lower-level driver using pre-registered call-back functions. The
data transfer is done in the context of a kernel worker thread.

mechanism, the security context of the userspace daemon (i.e. ueventd)
was consistently used to read firmware files. More devices are found to
use the command line argument firmware_class.path which gives the kernel
the opportunity to read the firmware directly, hence surfacing this
misattribution.

Rename fw_sysfs_done() and fw_sysfs_loading() to fw_state_is_done() and
fw_state_is_loading() respectively, and place them along side companion
functions in drivers/base/firmware_loader/firmware.h.
Use the fw_state_is_done() function to exit early from
firmware_loading_store() if the state is already "done". This is being done
in preparation for supporting persistent sysfs nodes to allow userspace to
upload firmware to a device, potentially reusing the sysfs loading and data
files multiple times.

The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include
include/config/auto.conf.
Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles,
we can change it into a more Make-friendly form.
Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes
(both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf):
CONFIG_X="foo bar"
Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well)
verbatim. We must rip them off when used.
There are some patterns:
[1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X))
[2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%)
[3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X))
[4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X))
These are not only ugly, but also fragile.
[1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like
CONFIG_X=" foo bar "
[3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like
CONFIG_X="foo\"bar"
[4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process.
Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles.
This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf.
These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts:

Formalize the built-in firmware with a proper API. This can later
be used by other callers where all they need is built-in firmware.
We export the firmware_request_builtin() call for now only
under the TEST_FIRMWARE symbol namespace as there are no
direct modular users for it. If they pop up they are free
to export it generally. Built-in code always gets access to
the callers and we'll demonstrate a hidden user which has been
lurking in the kernel for a while and the reason why using a
proper API was better long term.

Right now firmware_request_builtin() is used internally only
and so we have control over the callers. But if we want to expose
that API more broadly we should ensure the firmware pointer
is valid.
This doesn't fix any known issue, it just prepares us to later
expose this API to other users.

There are two ways the firmware_loader can use the built-in
firmware: with or without the pre-allocated buffer. We already
have one explicit use case for each of these, and so split them
up so that it is clear what the intention is on the caller side.
This also paves the way so that eventually other callers outside
of the firmware loader can uses these if and when needed.
While at it, adopt the firmware prefix for the routine names.

The firmware_loader can be used with a pre-allocated buffer
through the use of the API calls:
o request_firmware_into_buf()
o request_partial_firmware_into_buf()
If the firmware was built-in and present, our current check
for if the built-in firmware fits into the pre-allocated buffer
does not return any errors, and we proceed to tell the caller
that everything worked fine. It's a lie and no firmware would
end up being copied into the pre-allocated buffer. So if the
caller trust the result it may end up writing a bunch of 0's
to a device!
Fix this by making the function that checks for the pre-allocated
buffer return non-void. Since the typical use case is when no
pre-allocated buffer is provided make this return successfully
for that case. If the built-in firmware does *not* fit into the
pre-allocated buffer size return a failure as we should have
been doing before.
I'm not aware of users of the built-in firmware using the API
calls with a pre-allocated buffer, as such I doubt this fixes
any real life issue. But you never know... perhaps some oddball
private tree might use it.
In so far as upstream is concerned this just fixes our code for
correctness.

This use-after-free happens when a fw_priv object has been freed but
hasn't been removed from the pending list (pending_fw_head). The next
time fw_load_sysfs_fallback tries to insert into the list, it ends up
accessing the pending_list member of the previously freed fw_priv.
The root cause here is that all code paths that abort the fw load
don't delete it from the pending list. For example:
_request_firmware()
-> fw_abort_batch_reqs()
-> fw_state_aborted()
To fix this, delete the fw_priv from the list in __fw_set_state() if
the new state is DONE or ABORTED. This way, all aborts will remove
the fw_priv from the list. Accordingly, remove calls to list_del_init
that were being made before calling fw_state_(aborted|done).
Also, in fw_load_sysfs_fallback, don't add the fw_priv to the pending
list if it is already aborted. Instead, just jump out and return early.

The only motivation for using -EAGAIN in commit 0542ad88fb
("firmware loader: Fix _request_firmware_load() return val for fw load
abort") was to distinguish the error from -ENOMEM, and so there is no
real reason in keeping it. -EAGAIN is typically used to tell the
userspace to try something again and in this case re-using the sysfs
loading interface cannot be retried when a timeout happens, so the
return value is also bogus.
-ETIMEDOUT is received when the wait times out and returning that
is much more telling of what the reason for the failure was. So, just
propagate that instead of returning -EAGAIN.

This race was discovered when I carefully analyzed the code to locate
another firmware-related UAF issue. It can be triggered only when the
firmware load operation is executed during suspend. This possibility is
almost impossible because there are few firmware load and suspend actions
in the actual environment.
CPU0 CPU1
__device_uncache_fw_images(): assign_fw():
fw_cache_piggyback_on_request()
<----- P0
spin_lock(&fwc->name_lock);
...
list_del(&fce->list);
spin_unlock(&fwc->name_lock);
uncache_firmware(fce->name);
<----- P1
kref_get(&fw_priv->ref);
If CPU1 is interrupted at position P0, the new 'fce' has been added to the
list fwc->fw_names by the fw_cache_piggyback_on_request(). In this case,
CPU0 executes __device_uncache_fw_images() and will be able to see it when
it traverses list fwc->fw_names. Before CPU1 executes kref_get() at P1, if
CPU0 further executes uncache_firmware(), the count of fw_priv->ref may
decrease to 0, causing fw_priv to be released in advance.
Move kref_get() to the lock protection range of fwc->name_lock to fix it.
