Hi John,


Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for reviewing this.

Currently when we request an IO port region, the request is made directly

Let's be explicit here, e.g.,

Currently request_region() requests an IO port region directly from the
top resource, ioport_resource.

ok


There is an issue here, in that drivers may successfully request an IO
port region even if the IO port region has not even been mapped in
(in pci_remap_iospace()).

This may lead to crashes when the system has no PCI host, or, has a host
but it has failed enumeration, while drivers still attempt to access PCI
IO ports, as below:

I don't understand the strategy here. f71882fg is not a driver for a
PCI device, so it should work even if there is no PCI host in the
system.

From my checking, the f71882fg hwmon is accessed via the super-io interface on the PCH on x86. The super-io interface is at fixed addresses, those being 0x2e and 0x4e.

Please see the following:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/f71805f.c?h=v5.1-rc2#n1621

and

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/8-series-chipset-pch-datasheet.pdf (Table 9.2).

On x86 systems, these PCH IO ports will be mapped on a PCI bus, like:

$more /proc/ioports
0000-0cf7 : PCI Bus 0000:00
0000-001f : dma1
0020-0021 : pic1
0040-0043 : timer0
0050-0053 : timer1
0060-0060 : keyboard
0064-0064 : keyboard
0070-0077 : rtc0
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00a1 : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : fpu

So, the idea in the patch is that if PCI Bus 0000:00 does not exist because of no PCI host, then we should fail a request to an IO port region.


On x86, I think inb/inw/inl from a port where nothing responds
probably just returns ~0, and outb/outw/outl just get dropped.
Shouldn't arm64 do the same, without crashing?

That would be ideal and we're doing something similar in patch 2/3.

So on ARM64 we have to IO remap the PCI IO resource. If this mapping is not done (due to no PCI host), then any inb/inw/inl calls will crash the system.

So in patch 2/3, I am also making the change to the logical PIO inb/inw/inl accessors to discard accesses when no PCI MMIO regions are registered in logical PIO space.

This is really a second line of defense (this patch being the first).

Note that the f71882fg driver correctly calls request_muxed_region().

This issue was originally reported in [1].

This patch changes the functionality of request{muxed_}_region() to
request a region from a direct child descendent of the top
ioport_resource.

In this, if the IO port region has not been mapped for a particular IO
region, the PCI IO resource would also not have been inserted, and so a
suitable child region will not exist. As such,
request_{muxed_}region() calls will fail.

A side note: there are many drivers in the kernel which fail to even call
request_{muxed_}region() prior to IO port accesses, and they also need to
be fixed (to call request_{muxed_}region(), as appropriate) separately.

Please use a https://lore.kernel.org/ URL instead of spinics.net.

ok, I hope that I can find this old thread.
