      [S390] vdso: clock_gettime of CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID with noexec=on · 1277580f
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The combination of noexec=on and a clock_gettime call with clock id
      CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is broken. The vdso code switches to the
      access register mode to get access to the per-cpu data structure to
      execute the magic ectg instruction. After the ectg instruction the
      code always switches back to the primary mode but for noexec=on the
      correct mode is the secondary mode. The effect of the bug is that the
      user space program looses the access to all mappings without PROT_EXEC,
      e.g. the stack. The problem is fixed by restoring the mode that has
      been active before the switch to the access register mode.

      [S390] vdso: fix per cpu area allocation · 3a6ba460

      [S390] hibernation: fix lowcore handling · 5f954c34
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Our swsusp_arch_suspend() backend implementation disables prefixing
      by setting the contents of the prefix register to 0.
      However afterwards common code functions are called which might
      access percpu data structures.
      Since the lowcore contains e.g. the percpu base pointer this isn't
      a good idea. So fix this by copying the hibernating cpu's lowcore to
      absolute address zero.

      function-graph: add stack frame test · 71e308a2
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
      from function code, we would like to detect that.
      
      An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
      function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
      when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
      this purpose.
      
      This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
      frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
      
      There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
      few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
      return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
      not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
      to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
      graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
      this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
      was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
      
      This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
      
      This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
      specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
      the new prototype.
      
      Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
      This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
      used instead. This patch does not touch that code.
