ARC: fix page address calculation if PAGE_OFFSET != LINUX_LINK_BASE

2015-02-13T12:31:12+00:00

We used to calculate page address differently in 2 cases:

1. In virt_to_page(x) we do
 --->8---
 mem_map + (x - CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE) >> PAGE_SHIFT
 --->8---

2. In in pte_page(x) we do
 --->8---
 mem_map + (pte_val(x) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT
 --->8---

That leads to problems in case PAGE_OFFSET != CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE -
different pages will be selected depending on where and how we calculate
page address.

In particular in the STAR 9000853582 when gdb attempted to read memory
of another process it got improper page in get_user_pages() because this
is exactly one of the places where we search for a page by pte_page().

The fix is trivial - we need to calculate page address similarly in both
cases.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.

2015-02-05T06:39:44+00:00

Instead of using magic number in the code the patch provides
DW_DMA_MAX_NR_MASTERS constant.

While here, restrict the reading of data width array by amount of the actual
number of AHB masters.

ARC: Fix earlycon build breakage

2015-02-04T05:08:15+00:00

Commit ffb7fcd66f14 ("ARC: Dynamically determine BASE_BAUD from DeviceTree")
breaks arc:defconfig build:

       drivers/built-in.o: In function `of_setup_earlycon':
       (.init.text+0xb3e): undefined reference to `arc_early_base_baud'
       drivers/built-in.o: In function `setup_earlycon':
       (.init.text+0xcd0): undefined reference to `arc_early_base_baud'
       make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

BASE_BAUD is only required for earlycon, which should depend on
CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON.

ARC: Dynamically determine BASE_BAUD from DeviceTree

2015-02-02T11:38:37+00:00

8250 earlycon is broken on multi-platform ARC because the UART clk
value (BASE_BAUD) is fixed at build time.

Instead, determine the appropriate UART clk at runtime; parse the
devicetree early for platforms requiring alternate UART clk values
(currently only the TB10X platform).

arc: Remove unused prepare_to_copy()

2015-02-02T11:38:37+00:00

prepare_to_copy() was removed from all architectures supported at that
time in commit 55ccf3fe3f9a ("fork: move the real prepare_to_copy()
users to arch_dup_task_struct()"). Remove it from arc as well.
