* libelf: abolish obsolete macrosIan Jackson2013-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Abolish ELF_PTRVAL_[CONST_]{CHAR,VOID}; change uses to elf_ptrval. Abolish ELF_HANDLE_DECL_NONCONST; change uses to ELF_HANDLE_DECL. Abolish ELF_OBSOLETE_VOIDP_CAST; simply remove all uses. No functional change. (Verified by diffing assembler output.) This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libelf: use only unsigned integersIan Jackson2013-06-141-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow. Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with security vulnerabilities etc. So use only unsigned integers. Exceptions are booleans (which we have already changed) and error codes. We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own text segment, but not the char*s. This is because it is safe to access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to convert an arbitrary value to a char. As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign. It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect" negative numbers. In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to "more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the input image. The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is changed from -1 to ~0U. grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u"). This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libelf: Make all callers call elf_check_brokenIan Jackson2013-06-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This arranges that if the new pointer reference error checking tripped, we actually get a message about it. In this patch these messages do not change the actual return values from the various functions: so pointer reference errors do not prevent loading. This is for fear that some existing kernels might cause the code to make these wild references, which would then break, which is not a good thing in a security patch. In xen/arch/x86/domain_build.c we have to introduce an "out" label and change all of the "return rc" beyond the relevant point into "goto out". This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libelf: check nul-terminated strings properlyIan Jackson2013-06-141-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to simply take pointers into the ELF and use them as C pointers. They might not be properly nul-terminated (and the pointers might be wild). So we are going to introduce a new function elf_strval for safely getting strings. This will check that the addresses are in range and that there is a proper nul-terminated string. Of course it might discover that there isn't. In that case, it will be made to fail. This means that elf_note_name might fail, too. For the benefit of call sites which are just going to pass the value to a printf-like function, we provide elf_strfmt which returns "(invalid)" on failure rather than NULL. In this patch we introduce dummy definitions of these functions. We introduce calls to elf_strval and elf_strfmt everywhere, and update all the call sites with appropriate error checking. There is not yet any semantic change, since before this patch all the places where we introduce elf_strval dereferenced the value anyway, so it mustn't have been NULL. In future patches, when elf_strval is made able return NULL, when it does so it will mark the elf "broken" so that an appropriate diagnostic can be printed. This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libelf: introduce macros for memory access and pointer handlingIan Jackson2013-06-141-13/+13

We use the new macros everywhere. For now, these macros are semantically identical to the code they replace, so this patch has no functional change. elf_is_elfbinary is an exception: since it doesn't take an elf*, we need to handle it differently. In a future patch we will change it to take, and check, a length parameter. For now we just mark it with a fixme. That this patch has no functional change can be verified as follows: 0.

* libxc: eliminate static variables, use xentoollog; API changeKeir Fraser2010-05-281-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for logging and error reporting). Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via xentoollog. There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get the old behaviour. All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly. Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
* libelf: Tidy up logging and remove dependency on stdio.Keir Fraser2010-05-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | libelf now permits callers to specify logging callback functions, rather than a FILE*. libelf's non-Xen callers are all libxc users, so the stdio dependency and the default logging callback function (which calls vfprintf) is now in libxc.

* [LIBELF] Prefer PT_NOTE segments to SHT_NOTE sections for ELF notes.Ian Campbell2007-02-191-49/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's always an error to try to use sections on an executable; the segments in the phdr are definitive. Unfortunately we cannot drop SHT_NOTE support completely due to a binutils bug which causes kernels to have the offset field of the PT_NOTE phdr set to zero: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=594 This bug is present in binutils 2.17 although some distros have backported the fix. Therefore we simply prefer a PT_NOTE segment if we find one otherwise we still use the SHT_NOTE section (and then the old __xen_guest section). Based on a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. Also added XEN_ELFNOTE_HV_START_LOW to readnotes. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xensource.com>
