      ARM: domains: switch to keeping domain value in register · 1eef5d2f
      Russell King 提交于
      Rather than modifying both the domain access control register and our
      per-thread copy, modify only the domain access control register, and
      use the per-thread copy to save and restore the register over context
      switches.  We can also avoid the explicit initialisation of the
      init thread_info structure.
      
      This allows us to avoid needing to gain access to the thread information
      at the uaccess control sites.

      all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct · f56141e3
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
      the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
      restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
      
      Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
      making the restart_block harder to locate.
      
      Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
      targets, at least on some architectures.
      
      It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
      identical on all architectures.

      ARM: cacheflush: split user cache-flushing into interruptible chunks · 28256d61
      Will Deacon 提交于
      Flushing a large, non-faulting VMA from userspace can potentially result
      in a long time spent flushing the cache line-by-line without preemption
      occurring (in the case of CONFIG_PREEMPT=n).
      
      Whilst this doesn't affect the stability of the system, it can certainly
      affect the responsiveness and CPU availability for other tasks.
      
      This patch splits up the user cacheflush code so that it flushes in
      chunks of a page. After each chunk has been flushed, we may reschedule
      if appropriate and, before processing the next chunk, we allow any
      pending signals to be handled before resuming from where we left off.

      ARM: 7688/1: add support for context tracking subsystem · b0088480
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      commit 91d1aa43 (context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem)
      generalized parts of the RCU userspace extended quiescent state into
      the context tracking subsystem.  Context tracking is then used
      to implement adaptive tickless (a.k.a extended nohz)
      
      To support the new context tracking subsystem on ARM, the user/kernel
      boundary transtions need to be instrumented.
      
      For exceptions and IRQs in usermode, the existing usr_entry macro is
      used to instrument the user->kernel transition.  For the return to
      usermode path, the ret_to_user* path is instrumented.  Using the
      usr_entry macro, this covers interrupts in userspace, data abort and
      prefetch abort exceptions in userspace as well as undefined exceptions
      in userspace (which is where FP emulation and VFP are handled.)
      
      For syscalls, the slow return path is covered by instrumenting the
      ret_to_user path.  In addition, the syscall entry point is
      instrumented which covers the user->kernel transition for both fast
      and slow syscalls, and an additional instrumentation point is added
      for the fast syscall return path (ret_fast_syscall).

      ARM: 7443/1: Revert "new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK" · 433e2f30
      Will Deacon 提交于
      This reverts commit 6b5c8045.
      
      Conflicts:
      
      	arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c
      
      The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an
      interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If
      a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the
      TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed
      from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously
      interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning
      that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a
      system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the
      restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to
      restart the originally interrupted system call.
      
      The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the
      kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the
      restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new
      method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

      Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform · 29ef73b7
      Nathaniel Husted 提交于
      This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
      ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
      MIPS platform and information in this
      (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
      mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
      audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
      registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
      flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
      added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
      entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
      set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
      were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
      
      Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
      on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
      kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
      cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
      changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
      the patch is "obviously correct".

      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.
