[PATCH v4 10/14] treewide: Use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Mon Mar 25 2024 - 22:19:28 EST


Future changes will need to add a new member to struct
vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that
doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member
manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the
core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.

It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each
call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some
struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put
those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the
convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition
missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is
useful to do things similar across the kernel.

The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish
taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of
introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in:
struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};

With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero
initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded.
The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides.

While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked
other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have
been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the respective
arch.

So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a
tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this
change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and
statements that simply set members to zero.

v4:
- Trivial rebase conflict in s390

Hi archs,

For some context, this is part of a larger series to improve shadow stack
guard gaps. It involves plumbing a new field via
struct vm_unmapped_area_info. The first user is x86, but arm and riscv may
likely use it as well. The change is compile tested only for non-x86.

Thanks,

Rick
