Let's map the initial RAM up to the end of the kernel .bss instead of the strict kernel image area. This simplifies the code as the kernel image only needs to be handled specially in the XIP case. That covers the legacy ATAG location as well. Signed-off-by: NNicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This patch allows the ATAG_CMDLINE provided by the bootloader to be concatenated to the bootargs property of the device tree. This is useful to merge static values defined in the device tree with the boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as startup reasons and more. The bootloader should use the device tree to pass those values to the kernel, but that's not always simple (old bootloader or very small one). The behaviour is the same as the one introduced by Victor Boivie in 4394c124 by extending the CONFIG_CMDLINE.

The vectors page has been traditionally mapped as WT on UP systems but this creates a mismatched alias with the directly mapped RAM that is using WB attributes. On newer processors like Cortex-A15 this has implications on the data/instructions coherency at the point of unification (usually L2). This patch removes such restriction.

Robustify ARM's die() handling with improvements from x86: - Fix for a deadlock (before panic in the case of panic_on_oops) if we oops under a spinlock which is also used from interrupt handler, since the old code was unconditionally enabling interrupts. - Usage of arch spinlock so lockdep etc doesn't get involved while we're trying to dump out oopses. - Deadlock prevention in the unlikely event that die() recurses. The changes all touch the same few lines of code, so they're done together in one patch.

Increasingly distributions are setting default build environments to have LDFLAGS with hardening options. There seems to be an assumption with those options that LDFLAGS are passed to the compiler frontend rather than used directly with ld (which the kernel build process assumes) To prevent build failures in such environments this patch changes the ARM architecture Makefile to override the LDFLAGS from the environment similar to the behaviour on other common architectures e.g. x86 Signed-off-by: NVincent Sanders <vince@collabora.co.uk> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations). Then we jump to resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop. It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume() and bail out to resume_kernel immediately. And kill the check in do_signal()... Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm glue takes care of that.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one). I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere.

The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd= arguments passed on the command line. Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on that stack. The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and the kernel will crash: [ 1013.243754] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 [ 1013.272665] IP: [<ffff880145cc0000>] 0xffff880145cbffff [ 1013.285186] PGD 1401b2067 PUD 14324c067 PMD 0 [ 1013.298832] Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1013.310600] CPU 2 [ 1013.317904] Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode usb_debug serio_raw pcspkr iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 iTCO_vendor_support e1000e nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss lockd sunrpc i915 video i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 1013.401848] [ 1013.407399] Pid: 112, comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 3.4.0+ #30 [ 1013.437943] RIP: 8eb8:[<ffff88014630a000>] [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.459871] RSP: ffffffff8165e919:ffff88014780f408 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 1013.477909] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffffffff81104020 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.499458] RDX: ffff880148008ea8 RSI: ffffffff8131ef40 RDI: ffffffff82203b20 [ 1013.521612] RBP: ffffffff81005751 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.543121] R10: ffffffff82cdc318 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880145cc0000 [ 1013.564614] R13: ffff880148008eb8 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffff88014780cb40 [ 1013.586108] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880148000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1013.609458] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 1013.627420] CR2: 0000000000000002 CR3: 0000000141f10000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 1013.649051] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.670724] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1013.692376] Process kworker/2:1 (pid: 112, threadinfo ffff88013fe0e000, task ffff88014020a6a0) [ 1013.717028] Stack: [ 1013.724131] ffff88014780f570 ffff880145cc0000 0000400000004000 0000000000000000 [ 1013.745918] cccccccccccccccc ffff88014780cca8 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81651627 [ 1013.767870] ffffffff8118f8a7 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81f2b6c5 ffffffff81f11bdb [ 1013.790021] Call Trace: [ 1013.800701] Code: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a <e7> d7 64 81 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 d9 64 81 ff [ 1013.861443] RIP [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.884466] RSP <ffff88014780f408> [ 1013.901507] CR2: 0000000000000002 The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint: call debug_stack_set_zero TRACE_IRQS_ON call debug_stack_reset If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack and not crash the box.

When the NMI handler runs, it checks if it preempted a debug handler and if that handler is using the debug stack. If it is, it changes the IDT table not to update the stack, otherwise it will reset the debug stack and corrupt the debug handler it preempted. Now that ftrace uses breakpoints to change functions from nops to callers, many more places may hit a breakpoint. Unfortunately this includes some of the calls that lockdep performs. Which causes issues with the debug stack. It too needs to change the debug stack before tracing (if called from the debug handler). Allow the debug_stack_set_zero() and debug_stack_reset() to be nested so that the debug handlers can take advantage of them too. [ Used this_cpu_*() over __get_cpu_var() as suggested by H.

When an NMI goes off and it sees that it preempted the debug stack, to keep the debug stack safe, it changes the IDT to point to one that does not modify the stack on breakpoint (to allow breakpoints in NMIs). But the variable that gets set to know to undo it on exit never gets cleared on exit. Thus every NMI will reset it on exit the first time it is done even if it does not need to be reset. [ Added H.

On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly, without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial, and module load is done before the module executes. But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code. Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing) the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may take a GPF and crash the kernel. The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method too. Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint handler to call the ftrace int3 code. But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as the int3 handler will not know what to do with it. I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic. [ Added comments as suggested by Peter Zijlstra ] Suggested-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are shared between tasks and restore this state. The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one. One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such info considered to be not that good for security reasons. Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named 'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it -- __NR_kcmp. It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of comparison of files) two file descriptors. Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only. At moment only x86 is supported and tested.
