      [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers · afefdbb2
      David Howells 提交于
      These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
      communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
      because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
      for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
      automatically where the arch supports it.
      
      Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
      number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
      failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
      so overlaps occur.
      
      This patch:
      
      Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
      inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.
      
      The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
      available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
      number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
      error EOVERFLOW will be issued.
      
      Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
      number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
      directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.
      
      Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
      system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
      there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.
      
      Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
      32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
      same reasons.
      
      It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
      uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
      exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
      unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

      [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix · 0b0bf7a3
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
      dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
      ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
      dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
      whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
      new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
      to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
      producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
      to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
      dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
      linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
      ".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
      dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
      still handle.
      
      The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
      images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
      panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
      
      This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
      
      First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
       This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
      with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
      
      Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
      images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
      conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
      concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
      system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
      provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
      with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
      =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
      compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
      make any choice work fine.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Don't clobber r8-r11 in int 0x80 handler · 0e92da4a
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      When int 0x80 is called from long mode r8-r11 would leak out of the
      kernel (or rather they would be filled with some values from
      the kernel stack). I don't think it's a security issue because
      the values come from the fixed stack frame which should be near
      always user registers from a previous interrupt.
      
      Still better fix it.
      
      Longer term the register save macros need to be cleaned up
      to avoid such mistakes in the future.
      
      Original analysis from Richard Brunner, fix by me.
