Commit ac4e97a ("scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear mapping") checks that both the signature and the digest reside in the linear mapping area. However, more recently commit ba14a19 ("fork: Add generic vmalloced stack support") made it possible to move the stack in the vmalloc area, which is not contiguous, and thus not suitable for sg_set_buf() which needs adjacent pages. Always make a copy of the signature and digest in the same buffer used to store the key and its parameters, and pass them to sg_init_one(). Prefer it to conditionally doing the copy if necessary, to keep the code simple. The buffer allocated with kmalloc() is in the linear mapping area.

This particular patch has now been merged upstream: torvalds@c3d03e8 I need this patch for proper EVM signature enforcement and will drop it from my OpenBMC series of patches once the OpenBMC Linux build includes this patch. I have been carrying this patch here lately: https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/openbmc/+/63909 |
