      x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft · 74a0b576
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
      cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the
      proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
      aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.
      
      I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
      agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
      removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
      important aswell.

      x86-64: page faults from user mode are always user faults · dbe3ed1c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual
      Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code
      having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user
      mode.
      
      This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction
      pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to
      possibly have fixed it.
      
      Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
      error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
      we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
      to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

      x86_64: Use read and write crX in .c files · f51c9452
      Glauber de Oliveira Costa 提交于
      This patch uses the read and write functions provided at system.h
      for control registers instead of writting raw assembly over and
      over again in .c files. Functions to manipulate cr2 and cr8 were
      provided, as they were lacking.
      
      Also, removed some extra space after closing brackets

      x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3 · abd4f750
      Masoud Asgharifard Sharbiani 提交于
      This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
      segfault happens.  A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
      that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
      debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
      /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)
      
      Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
      deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
      following:
      
      main()
      {
             while (1)
                     if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
      }
      
      This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
      new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
      Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
      'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.
      
      AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
      AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults

      mm: fault feedback #2 · 83c54070
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
      bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
      all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
      should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
      however that would be for another patch).

      enable interrupts in user path of page fault. · e5e3c84b
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
      In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
      in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;)  then the
      do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
      
        goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
      
      But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
      process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
      time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
      higher priority task.
      
      This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
      bad_area_nosemaphore.
