ARM: 9214/1: alignment: advance IT state after emulating Thumb instruction

2022-07-06T21:44:49+00:00

After emulating a misaligned load or store issued in Thumb mode, we have
to advance the IT state by hand, or it will get out of sync with the
actual instruction stream, which means we'll end up applying the wrong
condition code to subsequent instructions. This might corrupt the
program state rather catastrophically.

So borrow the it_advance() helper from the probing code, and use it on
CPSR if the emulated instruction is Thumb.

kernel/sysctl.c: rename sysctl_init() to sysctl_init_bases()

2022-01-22T06:33:36+00:00

Rename sysctl_init() to sysctl_init_bases() so to reflect exactly what
this is doing.

ARM: Snapshot thread flags

2021-11-30T23:06:43+00:00

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15+00:00

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault

2020-06-18T18:14:40+00:00

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.

Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().

proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

2020-02-04T03:05:26+00:00

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=> proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=> proc_ioctl

	xxx		=> proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

ARM: mm: fix alignment handler faults under memory pressure

2019-10-09T22:29:40+00:00

When the system has high memory pressure, the page containing the
instruction may be paged out.  Using probe_kernel_address() means that
if the page is swapped out, the resulting page fault will not be
handled because page faults are disabled by this function.

Use get_user() to read the instruction instead.
