Merge tag 'hwparam-20170420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
"Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware

Merge tag 'hwparam-20170420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
"Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.

This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
UEFI secure boot conditions.

Annotations are made by changing:

module_param(n, t, p)
module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
module_param_array(n, t, m, p)

to:

module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)

where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting

hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
be one of:

ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port
iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
irq Module parameter configures an I/O port
dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel
dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
other Module parameter configures some other value

Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for
future use.

A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.

The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files.

The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being
set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a
reasonable default.

What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may
take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important
modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and
allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with
any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware.

Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.

[!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is
left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark
annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in
an already existing field"

Annotate hardware config module parameters in sound/isa/

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.

To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.

Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.

This patch annotates drivers in sound/isa/.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"The majority of this update is about ASoC, including a few new
drivers, and the rest are mostly minor changes. The only substantial
change in ALSA core is about the additional error handling in the
compress-offload API. Below are highlights:

- Add the error propagating support in compress-offload API

- HD-audio: a usual Dell headset fixup, an Intel HDMI/DP fix, and the
default mixer setup change ot turn off the loopback

- Lots of updates for ASoC Intel drivers, mostly board support and
bug fixing, and to the NAU8825 driver

- Work on generalizing bits of simple-card to allow more code sharing
with the Renesas rsrc-card (which can't use simple-card due to DPCM)

- Removal of the Odroid X2 driver due to replacement with simple-card

- Support for several new Mediatek platforms and associated boards

- New ASoC drivers for Allwinner A10, Analog Devices ADAU7002,
Broadcom Cygnus, Cirrus Logic CS35L33 and CS53L30, Maxim MAX8960
and MAX98504, Realtek RT5514 and Wolfson WM8758"
