[PATCH 3.16 055/192] MIPS: Bail on unsupported module relocs

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Oct 09 2017 - 09:43:09 EST


3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 04211a574641e29b529dcc84e75c03d7e9e368cf upstream.

When an unsupported reloc is encountered in a module, we currently
blindly branch to whatever would be at its entry in the reloc handler
function pointer arrays. This may be NULL, or if the unsupported reloc
has a type greater than that of the supported reloc with the highest
type then we'll dereference some value after the function pointer array
& branch to that. The result is at best a kernel oops.

Fix this by checking that the reloc type has an entry in the function
pointer array (ie. is less than the number of items in the array) and
that the handler is non-NULL, returning an error code to fail the module
load if no handler is found.
