5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kees Cook <redacted> [ Upstream commit 3b293487b8752cc42c1cbf8a0447bc6076c075fa ] The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't be evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it easier to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct coreboot_device so the entire entry can be copied at once. Additionally, validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this run-time false positive warning: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&device->entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8) Reported-by: Paul Menzel <redacted> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/03ae2704-8c30-f9f0-215b-7cdf4ad35a9a@molgen.mpg.de/ (local) Cc: Jack Rosenthal <redacted> Cc: Guenter Roeck <groeck@chromium.org> Cc: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Cc: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> Cc: Stephen Boyd <redacted> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <redacted> Reviewed-by: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <groeck@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230107031406.gonna.761-kees@kernel.org (local) Reviewed-by: Stephen Boyd <redacted> Reviewed-by: Jack Rosenthal <redacted> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112230312.give.446-kees@kernel.org (local) Stable-dep-of: a58a57a1076f ("firmware: coreboot: Validate table bounds") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> --- drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c | 9 +++++++-- drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
