arm64: elf: fix core dumping to match what glibc expects

2013-01-22T17:50:59+00:00

The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which
means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since
glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs.

This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs
and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user
and kernel structure definitions.

arm64: compat: add syscall table entries for new syscalls

2013-01-15T17:15:16+00:00

There have been a number of new syscalls introduced to arch/arm/ since
the compat layer was implemented for arm64, so add pointers to the
relevant functions to the compat syscall table.

arm64: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE

2013-01-10T10:48:48+00:00

This is mostly a port of dbf62d50067e ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b18 ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.

The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.

This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.

arm64: mm: only wrprotect clean ptes if they are present

2013-01-10T10:43:44+00:00

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.

This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.

arm64: Include linux/ptrace.h in asm/compat.h

2013-01-02T11:50:19+00:00

Commit 9b064fc3f95a8e44e929fdf4d6037334ea03d15b (new helper:
compat_user_stack_pointer()) introduces a call to current_pt_regs()
which is defined in linux/ptrace.h, not currently included asm/compat.h.

 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu

2012-12-20T18:07:25+00:00

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "A few new features this merge-window.  The most important one is
  probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
  dma_mapping_error by the device driver.  This requires minor changes
  to some architectures which make use of dma-debug.  Most of these
  changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.

  Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
  the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
  hardware erratum.

  The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
  tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree.  The
  conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
  deleted in the arm-soc tree.  It is safe to delete the file too so
  solve the conflict.  Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
  the common clock framework migration.  A missing hunk from the patch
  in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
  merge-window is closed."

new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()

2012-12-19T23:07:40+00:00

Compat counterpart of current_user_stack_pointer(); for most of the biarch
architectures those two are identical, but e.g. arm64 and arm use different
registers for stack pointer...

Note that amd64 variants of current_user_stack_pointer/compat_user_stack_pointer
do *not* rely on pt_regs having been through FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

2012-12-19T23:07:38+00:00

All architectures have
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
	__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

compat: generic compat_sys_sched_rr_get_interval() implementation

2012-12-18T01:15:18+00:00

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support.
 The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do
the u32->int sign extension.

The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is
to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched
function declarations.
