      compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h · 751f409d
      Denys Vlasenko 提交于
      This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
      
      Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
      which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
      linux/compat.h.
      
      Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
      __compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
      compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
      had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
      to asm/compat.h.

      compat: sync compat_stats with statfs. · 1448c721
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
      bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
      since decemeber.
      
      - This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
        were cleared on mips and s390.
      - Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
      - Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
      - Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
        to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
        On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
        architectures f_spare only has 4 ints.  Which makes
        the previous technique of clearing each int individually
        broken.
      
      I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
      call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
      the compat and the native version working the same.

      compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok() · c41d68a5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
      access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
      introduce problems on some architectures.
      
      This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
      compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
      The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
      arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
      implementation of the new global function.
      
      This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
      fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
      followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
      for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
      can also be removed.

      improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures · e28cbf22
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the
      reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value.  Instead of doing this
      separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in
      <asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

      Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types · 4b777587
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
      different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines.  A number of
      drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
      'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
      all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.
      
      Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
      compat_u64 and compat_s64.  These are defined on all architectures to have
      the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

      [S390] noexec protection · c1821c2e
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
      not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
      different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
      mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.
      
      As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
      page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
      (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
      used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
      data addresses.
      The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
      in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
      contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
      private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
      list).
      Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
      both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
      a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
      data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
      page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
      with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
      and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
      kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
      mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
      exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
      behind the signal stack frame.
      
      This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
      mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
      modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
      for user space.
      After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
      instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
      mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
      to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
      page tables need to be walked manually.

      [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t · 202e5979
      Stephen Rothwell 提交于
      When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
      the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
      misunderstood :-)).  This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
      with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
      bugs along the way.
      
      	compat type		type in compat arch
      	__compat_[ug]id_t	__kernel_[ug]id_t
      	__compat_[ug]id32_t	__kernel_[ug]id32_t
      	compat_[ug]id_t		[ug]id_t
      
      The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
      care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
