      powerpc/tm: Fix userspace stack corruption on signal delivery for active transactions · 2b3f8e87
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
      the stack.  It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
      The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
      returns before a tend.  In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
      transactional memory state.  If we write over this non transactionally or in
      suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
      and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
      valid anymore.
      
      To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
      the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
      state.  This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
      written below the stack required for the rollback.  The transaction is aborted
      becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
      signal will be rolled back anyway.
      
      For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
      normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.
      
      Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

      powerpc: Fix various issues with return to userspace · 18b246fa
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      We have a few problems when returning to userspace. This is a
      quick set of fixes for 3.3, I'll look into a more comprehensive
      rework for 3.4. This fixes:
      
       - We kept interrupts soft-disabled when schedule'ing or calling
      do_signal when returning to userspace as a result of a hardware
      interrupt.
      
       - Rename do_signal to do_notify_resume like all other archs (and
      do_signal_pending back to do_signal, which it was before Roland
      changed it).
      
       - Add the missing call to key_replace_session_keyring() to
      do_notify_resume().

      powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code · efbda860
      Josh Boyer 提交于
      On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
      stack pointer passed into the kernel.  Most places handle this correctly, but
      the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
      stack frames.
      
      This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
      sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
      pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
      returned.
      
      Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
      get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
      statically.
