This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled drm: Pad drm_mode_get_connector to 64-bit boundary to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.13. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 2deab1c555d964b0269d6f603401fd78d9fd8df8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 09:49:02 +0100 Subject: drm: Pad drm_mode_get_connector to 64-bit boundary commit bc5bd37ce48c66e9192ad2e7231e9678880f6f8e upstream. Pavel Roskin reported that DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR was overwritting the 4 bytes beyond the end of its structure with a 32-bit userspace running on a 64-bit kernel. This is due to the padding gcc inserts as the drm_mode_get_connector struct includes a u64 and its size is not a natural multiple of u64s. 64-bit kernel: sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=80, alignof=8 sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4 32-bit userspace: sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=76, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4 Fortuituously we can insert explicit padding to the tail of our structures without breaking ABI.
