      ARM: 7308/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before copying ptrace registers · 8130b9d7
      由 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
      由 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.

      ARM: 7306/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before restoring context from sigframe · 2af276df
      由 Will Deacon 提交于 
      Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP
context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying
from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then
flushing the new data out to the hardware registers.

This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be
context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current
thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP
notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct,
overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code.

Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so
instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the
vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the
effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer,
therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on
the next context switch.

      Revert "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping" · 97f10409
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      This reverts commit 3c424f35.

Joachim Eastwood reports:
| "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping"
| Commit: 3c424f35 in Linus master
|
| Breaks booting on my custom AT91RM9200 board.
| There isn't any error messages or anything that indicates what goes
| wrong it just stops after; Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the
| kernel.
|
| Reverting it makes my board boot again.

and further debugging reveals:

ioremap: pfn=fffff phys=fffff000 offset=400 size=1000
ioremap: area c3ffdfc0: phys_addr=200000 pfn=200 size=4000
ioremap: found: addr fef74000 => fed73000 => fed73400

Clearly, an area for pfn 0x200, 16K can't ever satisfy a request for pfn
0xfffff.  This happens because the changed if statement becomes:

                if (0x00200 > 0xfffff ||
                    0xfffff000 + 0x400 + 0x1000-1 > 0x00200000 + 0x4000-1)
and therefore:
                if (0x00200 > 0xfffff ||
                    0x000003ff > 0x00203fff)

The if condition fails, and so we _believe_ that the SRAM mapping fits
our request.  Clearly that's totally bogus.

Moreover, the original premise of the 'fix' patch was wrong:
|    The condition checking boundaries of the requested and existing
|    mappings didn't take in-page offset into consideration though,
|    which lead to obscure and hard to debug problems when requested
|    mapping crossed end of the static one.

as the code immediately above this loop does:

        size = PAGE_ALIGN(offset + size);

so 'size' already contains the requested offset into the page.

So, revert the broken 'fix'.
