      s390/time: correct use of store clock fast · 8c071b0f
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The result of the store-clock-fast (STCKF) instruction is a bit fuzzy.
      It can happen that the value stored on one CPU is smaller than the value
      stored on another CPU, although the order of the stores is the other
      way around. This can cause deltas of get_tod_clock() values to become
      negative when they should not be.
      
      We need to be more careful with store-clock-fast, this patch partially
      reverts git commit e4b7b4238e666682555461fa52eecd74652f36bb "time:
      always use stckf instead of stck if available". The get_tod_clock()
      function now uses the store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction.
      get_tod_clock_fast() can be used if the fuzziness of store-clock-fast
      is acceptable e.g. for wait loops local to a CPU.

      x86/microcode: Correct Kconfig dependencies · 80030e3d
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      I have a randconfig here which has enabled only
      
        CONFIG_MICROCODE=y
        CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y
      
      with both
      
        # CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL is not set
        # CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set
      
      off. Which makes building the microcode functionality a little
      pointless. Don't do that in such cases then.

      ARM: 7851/1: check for number of arguments in syscall_get/set_arguments() · 3c1532df
      AKASHI Takahiro 提交于
      In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
          syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
              if (i == 0) { <handle ORIG_r0> ...; n--;}
              memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
      If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
      syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
      Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
      will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
      may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
      This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
      syscall_set_arguments().

      THis is because the Exynos u-boot, for example on the Chromebooks, doesn't set

      the frequency in the device tree like this.

      ARC: Ignore ptrace SETREGSET request for synthetic register "stop_pc" · 5b242828
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      ARCompact TRAP_S insn used for breakpoints, commits before exception is
      taken (updating architectural PC). So ptregs->ret contains next-PC and
      not the breakpoint PC itself. This is different from other restartable
      exceptions such as TLB Miss where ptregs->ret has exact faulting PC.
      gdb needs to know exact-PC hence ARC ptrace GETREGSET provides for
      @stop_pc which returns ptregs->ret vs. EFA depending on the
      situation.
      
      However, writing stop_pc (SETREGSET request), which updates ptregs->ret
      doesn't makes sense stop_pc doesn't always correspond to that reg as
      described above.
      
      This was not an issue so far since user_regs->ret / user_regs->stop_pc
      had same value and both writing to ptregs->ret was OK, needless, but NOT
      broken, hence not observed.
      
      With gdb "jump", they diverge, and user_regs->ret updating ptregs is
      overwritten immediately with stop_pc, which this patch fixes.

      xen: Fix possible user space selector corruption · 7cde9b27
      Frediano Ziglio 提交于
      Due to the way kernel is initialized under Xen is possible that the
      ring1 selector used by the kernel for the boot cpu end up to be copied
      to userspace leading to segmentation fault in the userspace.
      
      Xen code in the kernel initialize no-boot cpus with correct selectors (ds
      and es set to __USER_DS) but the boot one keep the ring1 (passed by Xen).
      On task context switch (switch_to) we assume that ds, es and cs already
      point to __USER_DS and __KERNEL_CSso these selector are not changed.
      
      If processor is an Intel that support sysenter instruction sysenter/sysexit
      is used so ds and es are not restored switching back from kernel to
      userspace. In the case the selectors point to a ring1 instead of __USER_DS
      the userspace code will crash on first memory access attempt (to be
      precise Xen on the emulated iret used to do sysexit will detect and set ds
      and es to zero which lead to GPF anyway).
      
      Now if an userspace process call kernel using sysenter and get rescheduled
      (for me it happen on a specific init calling wait4) could happen that the
      ring1 selector is set to ds and es.
      
      This is quite hard to detect cause after a while these selectors are fixed
      (__USER_DS seems sticky).
      
      Bisecting the code commit 7076aada appears
      to be the first one that have this issue.
