      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.

      This patch also (at the request of the list) fixes the fact that
      ARM has both LE and BE versions however the audit code was called as if
      it was always BE.  If audit userspace were to try to interpret the bits
      it got from a LE system it would obviously do so incorrectly.  Fix this
      by using the right arch flag on the right system.

      ARM: 7308/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before copying ptrace registers · 8130b9d7
      Will Deacon 提交于
      If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's
      vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP
      context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before
      restoring context from sigframe").
      
      This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is
      flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing
      corruption from occurring.

      ARM: 7307/1: vfp: fix ptrace regset modification race · 247f4993
      Dave Martin 提交于
      In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the
      hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is
      being read and modified.  This leads to a race condition which can
      cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context
      save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate
      is read and the time the modified state is written back.
      
      This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a
      ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread.
      Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios --
      none has been reported, so far as I am aware.  Only uniprocessor
      systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently
      lazy in SMP kernels.
      
      The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use
      regsets to implement ptrace.
      
      This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading
      thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not
      live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.
      
      Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

      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".

      perf: Add context field to perf_event · 4dc0da86
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
      argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
      in their local data structure.  This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
      single callback services many perf_events.
      
      Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
      (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
      The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
      All callers are updated.

      perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface · a8b0ca17
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
      context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
      resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
      
      For the various event classes:
      
        - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
          the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
        - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
        - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
          perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
      
      As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
      not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
      jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
      
      The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
      bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

      ARM: 6668/1: ptrace: remove single-step emulation code · 425fc47a
      Will Deacon 提交于
      PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping
      support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware
      support for this operation.
      
      On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware
      single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the
      next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location.
      
      Unfortunately this has the following problems:
      
      1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported
      2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported
      3.) The code is not SMP safe
      
      We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above
      issues it is rarely used in practice.  GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT
      and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any
      kernel assistance.
      
      This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that
      the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must
      check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

      arm: use generic ptrace_resume code · 440e6ca7
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
      PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
      arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
      user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
      causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
      considered a bug fix.
      
      Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
      it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the
      tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all
      architectures using the modern ptrace code.
