Subject: [PATCH] PCI/AER: Avoid info leak in __print_tlp_header

Commit fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper")
introduced the helper function __print_tlp_header, but contrary to the
intention, the behaviour did change: Since we're taking the address of
the parameter t, the first 4 or 8 bytes printed will be the value of
the pointer t itself, and the remaining 12 or 8 bytes will be
who-knows-what (something from the stack).

We want to treat the four members of the struct aer_header_log_regs as
little-endian 32 bit numbers and print those. That can be done without
ugly and confusing casts.

I'm not sure about this: I think the original intention was to dump the
dwords MS-bit to LS-bit like this here:

http://www.fpga4fun.com/PCI-Express4.html

Now, if this runs on a big endian machine, converting to CPU order would
be wrong IMHO. You'd rather want do do cpu_to_le32() for consistency.
But I don't know whether big endian machines are even sporting PCIE
AER...

I think we should expect AER to be used on big-endian machines. I'm
pretty sure it's used on Itanium in big-endian mode.

Why are we worrying about byte order here at all? I'd think we could
just print t->dw0 directly with %08x.

Any byte order issues should be handled when we fill in the struct
aer_header_log_regs. For normal AER (non-APEI), we use
pci_read_config_dword() to directly fill in info->tlp.dw0, etc. in
get_device_error_info(), so I don't think there's a problem there.

For APEI, it looks like it would happen somewhere in
ghes_read_estatus(). I didn't follow the whole path here, but I would
argue that by the time we put data in t->dw0, it should be in CPU
order so a mask like 0x80000000 would work the same on LE and BE
boxes.

Itanium can run in either big or little endian mode - but Linux uses little endian:

arch/ia64/include/uapi/asm/byteorder.h:#include <linux/byteorder/little_endian.h>

Right, my only concern is since this is user-facing, someone/something
might depend on its format/byte order. But since no one has complained
about the bug so far, we might just as well do the simple thing and just
print t->dwX.

Btw, Bjorn, when applying the final version, please add the stable tag
too.

Thanks.

originally intended, and since no-one has complained about getting
