Input: uinput - zero-initialize uinput_ff_upload_compat to avoid info leak

2025-09-29T04:29:03+00:00

Struct ff_effect_compat is embedded twice inside
uinput_ff_upload_compat, contains internal padding. In particular, there
is a hole after struct ff_replay to satisfy alignment requirements for
the following union member. Without clearing the structure,
copy_to_user() may leak stack data to userspace.

Initialize ff_up_compat to zero before filling valid fields.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Input: uinput - reject requests with unreasonable number of slots

2024-08-05T01:00:46+00:00

From: Dmitry Torokhov 

When exercising uinput interface syzkaller may try setting up device
with a really large number of slots, which causes memory allocation
failure in input_mt_init_slots(). While this allocation failure is
handled properly and request is rejected, it results in syzkaller
reports. Additionally, such request may put undue burden on the
system which will try to free a lot of memory for a bogus request.

Fix it by limiting allowed number of slots to 100. This can easily
be extended if we see devices that can track more than 100 contacts.

Input: misc - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

2024-06-03T04:32:01+00:00

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.

Input: uinput - allow injecting event times

2023-05-02T03:22:11+00:00

Currently, uinput doesn't use the input_set_timestamp API, so any
event injected using uinput is not accurately timestamped in terms of
measuring when the actual event happened. Hence, call the
input_set_timestamp API from uinput in order to provide a more
accurate sense of time for the event. Propagate only the timestamps
which are a) positive, b) within a pre-defined offset (10 secs) from
the current time, and c) not in the future.

Input: input_event - fix struct padding on sparc64

2019-12-13T23:00:36+00:00

Going through all uses of timeval, I noticed that we screwed up
input_event in the previous attempts to fix it:

The time fields now match between kernel and user space, but all following
fields are in the wrong place.

Add the required padding that is implied by the glibc timeval definition
to fix the layout, and use a struct initializer to avoid leaking kernel
stack data.

Input: uinput - always report EPOLLOUT

2019-12-13T23:00:30+00:00

uinput device is always available for writing so we should always report
EPOLLOUT and EPOLLWRNORM bits, not only when there is nothing to read from
the device.
