ARC: Re-enable MMU upon Machine Check exception

2017-09-27T09:00:16+00:00

commit 1ee55a8f7f6b7ca4c0c59e0b4b4e3584a085c2d3 upstream.

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

ARCv2: PAE40: Explicitly set MSB counterpart of SLC region ops addresses

2017-08-30T08:19:22+00:00

commit 7d79cee2c6540ea64dd917a14e2fd63d4ac3d3c0 upstream.

It is necessary to explicitly set both SLC_AUX_RGN_START1 and SLC_AUX_RGN_END1
which hold MSB bits of the physical address correspondingly of region start
and end otherwise SLC region operation is executed in unpredictable manner

Without this patch, SLC flushes on HSDK (IOC disabled) were taking
seconds.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-26T05:13:11+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

ARC: mm: arc700: Don't assume 2 colours for aliasing VIPT dcache

2017-01-09T07:07:48+00:00

commit 08fe007968b2b45e831daf74899f79a54d73f773 upstream.

An ARC700 customer reported linux boot crashes when upgrading to bigger
L1 dcache (64K from 32K). Turns out they had an aliasing VIPT config and
current code only assumed 2 colours, while theirs had 4. So default to 4
colours and complain if there are fewer. Ideally this needs to be a
Kconfig option, but heck that's too much of hassle for a single user.

ARC: [plat-sim] unbork non default CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE

2015-12-17T05:36:43+00:00

HIGHMEM support bumped the default memory size for nsim platform to 1G.
Thus total memory ended at the very edge of start of peripherals address
space. With linux link base shifted, memory started bleeding into
peripheral space which caused early boot bad_page spew !

ARC: use ASL assembler mnemonic

2015-11-14T07:42:21+00:00

ARCompact and ARCv2 only have ASL, while binutils used to support LSL as
a alias mnemonic.

Newer binutils (upstream) don't want to do that so replace it.
