When loading a binary file, we only check if it is smaller than the ram_size. It does not really check if the file will be loaded at an existing location (if there is nothing at the target address, it will "fail" silently later). It prevents loading a binary blob bigger than ram_size too even if the target location is big enough.
Replace this check by looking for the target memory region size and prevent loading a bigger file than the available space. Get rid of "hw/boards.h" include, since we needed it only to access `current_machine`. Signed-off-by: Damien Hedde <damien.he...@greensocs.com> --- Hi, This is an updated version implementing what we discussed in v1. This can be tested easily, eg, using opentitan machine which has a 64K ram located at 0x10000000. the following works (we a blob corresponding to the whole ram) | $ dd bs=1K count=64 if=/dev/zero of=blob.bin | $ qemu-system-riscv32 -display none -M opentitan -device loader,addr=0x10000000,file=blob.bin but this command fails because we load a blob which is too big | $ dd bs=1K count=64 if=/dev/zero of=blob.bin | $ qemu-system-riscv32 -display none -M opentitan -device loader,addr=0x10001000,file=blob.bin | qemu-system-riscv32: -device loader,addr=0x10001000,file=blob.bin: Cannot load specified image blob.bin and this command fails too (we load a blob at an unmapped location) | $ dd bs=1K count=64 if=/dev/zero of=blob.bin | $ qemu-system-riscv32 -display none -M opentitan -device loader,addr=0x0,file=blob.bin | qemu-system-riscv32: -device loader,addr=0x0,file=blob.bin: Address 0x0 does not exists Thanks, Damien v2: + instead of disabling the ram_size check, look for the target v1: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-10/msg01077.html See also the original discussion about generic-loader: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg04668.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg04681.html --- hw/core/generic-loader.c | 20 +++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/core/generic-loader.c b/hw/core/generic-loader.c index d14f932eea..88d3f9fd56 100644 --- a/hw/core/generic-loader.c +++ b/hw/core/generic-loader.c @@ -34,7 +34,6 @@ #include "hw/core/cpu.h" #include "sysemu/dma.h" #include "sysemu/reset.h" -#include "hw/boards.h" #include "hw/loader.h" #include "hw/qdev-properties.h" #include "qapi/error.h" @@ -153,8 +152,23 @@ static void generic_loader_realize(DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) } if (size < 0 || s->force_raw) { - /* Default to the maximum size being the machine's ram size */ - size = load_image_targphys_as(s->file, s->addr, current_machine->ram_size, as); + MemoryRegion *root = as ? as->root : get_system_memory(); + MemoryRegionSection mrs; + uint64_t avail = 0; + + mrs = memory_region_find(root, s->addr, 1); + + if (mrs.mr) { + avail = int128_get64(mrs.mr->size) - mrs.offset_within_region; + memory_region_unref(mrs.mr); + } else { + error_setg(errp, "Address 0x%" PRIx64 " does not exists", + s->addr); + return; + } + + /* Limit the file size to the memory region space */ + size = load_image_targphys_as(s->file, s->addr, avail, as); } else { s->addr = entry; } -- 2.33.0
