      arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stack · 304ef4e8
      Will Deacon 提交于
      To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake
      stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer
      of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes
      to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame
      of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the
      signal stack.
      
      This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV
      handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In
      this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and
      subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return
      to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part
      of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe,
      ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h · 751f409d
      Denys Vlasenko 提交于
      This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
      
      Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
      which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
      linux/compat.h.
      
      Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
      __compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
      compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
      had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
      to asm/compat.h.
