      ARM: Ensure do_cache_op takes mmap_sem · aa45ee8f
      Russell King 提交于
      do_cache_op() uses find_vma() to validate its arguments without holding
      any locking.  This means that the VMA could vanish beneath us.  Fix
      this by taking a read lock on mmap_sem.

      ARM: Fix __cpuexit section mismatch warnings · 90140c30
      Russell King 提交于
      Fix:
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die()
      The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section.
      Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section
      and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die.
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
      The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references
      a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
      This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
      uses functionality in the init path.
      The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of
      secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section.
      
      Sam says:
      > The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong.
      > To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall:
      > - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n
      > - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y
      
      So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are
      also wrong.  However, removing __cpuexit from cpu_die() creates:
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6834): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
      The function cpu_die() references
      the function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
      This is often because cpu_die lacks a __cpuinit
      annotation or the annotation of secondary_start_kernel is wrong.
      
      so fix this using __ref.

      ARM: 5715/1: Make kprobes unregistration SMP safe · 2003b7af
      Frederic Riss 提交于
      ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the
      current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a
      kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the
      same time on different cores.
      
      When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception
      handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched
      concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe
      handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it
      believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space.
      
      The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes
      unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0 · 51b563fc
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
      
          Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
          This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
          This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
          build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
          or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
      
      Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
      pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
      arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
      
      This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
      it is used.
      
      Notes for the different architectures touched:
      
      arm - we use an already exported symbol
      cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
             [Not build tested]
      mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
             Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
             the linker script.
             [Not build tested]
      powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
                [not build tested]
      sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
      um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
      xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

      KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] · ee18d64c
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
      replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
      not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
      change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
      will be after a wait*() syscall.
      
      To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
      cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
      the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
      the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
      
      The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
      as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
      the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
      
      Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
      This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
      which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
      replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
      execution.
      
      This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
      the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
      alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
      PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
      keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
      the newpag flag.
      
      This can be tested with the following program:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      
      	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18
      
      	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
      
      	int main(int argc, char **argv)
      	{
      		key_serial_t keyring, key;
      		long ret;
      
      		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
      		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
      
      		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
      		OSERROR(key, "add_key");
      
      		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
      		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
      
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
      	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      
      Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
      'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

      ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait · 36984265
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
      signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
      and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.
      
      Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
      deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
      sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
      of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.
      
      The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
      over time:
      
      In 2.6.16:
      - add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
      - test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
      - reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
        ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
        use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
      - there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
        parameter is always &current->blocked so need not be passed,
        also its return value is changed to void
      - change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
      - change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()
      
      In 2.6.19:
      - hook up sys_epoll_pwait()
      
      In 2.6.26:
      - allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
        default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
        TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
        when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
      - call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
      
      In 2.6.29-rc:
      - kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted
      
      So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
      - Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
        which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
        flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
        not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
      - sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
        and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
      - The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
        generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
      - sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
        parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
      - handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
      - The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
        and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
      - do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

      ARM: 5638/1: arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: use correct address space for CRUNCH · 65a5053b
      Hartley Sweeten 提交于
      preserve_crunch_context() calls __copy_to_user() which expects the
      destination address to be in __user space.  setup_sigframe() properly
      passes the destination address.
      
      restore_crunch_context() calls __copy_from_user() which expects the
      source address to be in __user space.  restore_sigframe() properly
      passes the source address.
      
      This fixes {preserve/restore}_crunch_context() to accept the
      address as __user space and resolves the following sparse warnings:
