      ARM: software-based priviledged-no-access support · a5e090ac
      Russell King 提交于
      Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access
      support found in ARMv8.1.
      
      Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the
      kernel and IO mappings.  If we switch the user domain to "no access"
      when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching
      userspace.
      
      However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the
      various user accessor functions.  With the wrapping in the previous
      patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user
      access, and re-disable it afterwards.
      
      This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused
      by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with
      appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed.  This in turn
      can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would
      otherwise be possible.

      ARM: entry: provide uaccess assembly macro hooks · 2190fed6
      Russell King 提交于
      Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control
      of userspace visibility to the kernel.  The intended use is:
      
      - on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to
        disable userspace visibility
      - on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to
        enable userspace visibility
      - on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be
        called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable
        access
      - on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to
        restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception
        occurred.
      
      These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the
      vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we
      want to explicitly access userspace.

      ARM: entry: get rid of multiple macro definitions · aa06e5c1
      Russell King 提交于
      The following structure is just asking for trouble:
      
       #ifdef CONFIG_symbol
      	.macro foo
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro bar
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #else
      	.macro foo
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro bar
      	...
      	.endm
       #ifdef CONFIG_symbol2
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #else
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #endif
       #endif
      
      such as one defintion being updated, but the other definitions miss out.
      Where the contents of a macro needs to be conditional, the hint is in
      the first clause of this very sentence.  "contents" "conditional".  Not
      multiple separate definitions, especially not when much of the macro
      is the same between different configs.
      
      This patch fixes this bad style, which had caused the Thumb2 code to
      miss-out on the uaccess updates.

      ARM64 / SMP: Switch pr_err() to pr_debug() for disabled GICC entry · f9058929
      Hanjun Guo 提交于
      It is normal that firmware presents GICC entry or entries (processors)
      with disabled flag in ACPI MADT, taking a system of 16 cpus for example,
      ACPI firmware may present 8 ebabled first with another 8 cpus disabled
      in MADT, the disabled cpus can be hot-added later.
      
      Firmware may also present more cpus than the hardware actually has, but
      disabled the unused ones, and easily enable it when the hardware has such
      cpus to make the firmware code scalable.
      
      So that's not an error for disabled cpus in MADT, we can switch pr_err()
      to pr_debug() to make the boot a little quieter by default.
      
      Since hwid for disabled cpus often are invalid, and we check invalid hwid
      first in the code, for use case that hot add cpus later will be filtered
      out and will not be counted in possible cups, so move this check before
      the hwid one to prepare the code to count for disabeld cpus when cpu
      hot-plug is introduced.

      [IA64] Drop debug test/printk that some special pages are marked reserved · 43c518d1
      Tony Luck 提交于
      In commit 92923ca3 "mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region"
      we dropped setting the reserved bits for all pages. This results in some warnings
      on ia64:
      
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005588000 not in reserved memory
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005588000 not in reserved memory
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
      put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
      
      the two different pages match up with two objects from the loaded kernel
      that get mapped by arch/ia64/mm/init.c:setup_gate()
      
      a000000101588000 D __start_gate_section
      a000000101580000 D empty_zero_page
      
      In a discussion with Mel Gorman:
        http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150526102219.GB13750%40suse.de
      he suggested that while the preferred approach might be to
      set the reserved bit for these pages, it would also be OK
      to just drop the test:
         "as it's a debugging check that is ia-64 specific"
      
      After hunting around a bit and failin to find a good place to mark these
      pages as reserved - I decided to just delete the test.
