Using OABI, the call to put_user in do_signal can fail causing the
calling app to hang.

The solution is to check if put_user fails and force the app to
seg fault in that case.

Tested with multiple sleeping apps/threads (using the nanosleep syscall)
and suspend/resume.

The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI
compatibility is enabled.  Unfortunately, with an EABI NX executable,
this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack,
which segfaults the application.

Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the
signal return code, and directing the application to that code.

<title>KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]</title>

<id>ee18d64c1f632043a02e6f5ba5e045bb26a5465f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;keyutils.h&gt;

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.

Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

<title>ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait</title>

<id>369842658a36bcea28ecb643ba4bdb53919330dd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.

Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.

The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:

In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask,
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
  ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
  use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
  parameter is always &amp;current-&gt;blocked so need not be passed,
  also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()

In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()

In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
  default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
  TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
  when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted

So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
  which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
  flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
  not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask
  and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
  generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
  parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
  and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.

Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.

The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:

In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask,
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
  ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
  use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
  parameter is always &amp;current-&gt;blocked so need not be passed,
  also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()

In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()

In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
  default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
  TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
  when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted

So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
  which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
  flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
  not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask
  and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
  generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
  parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
  and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

preserve_crunch_context() calls __copy_to_user() which expects the
destination address to be in __user space.  setup_sigframe() properly
passes the destination address.

restore_crunch_context() calls __copy_from_user() which expects the
source address to be in __user space.  restore_sigframe() properly
passes the source address.

This fixes {preserve/restore}_crunch_context() to accept the
address as __user space and resolves the following sparse warnings:

  arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:146:31:
