AVR32/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface

2015-07-20T10:19:10+00:00

Migrate avr32 driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

We want to call cpu_idle_poll_ctrl() in shutdown only if we were in
oneshot or resume state earlier. Create another variable to save this
information and check that in shutdown callback.

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.

avr32: wire up missing syscalls

2015-02-09T14:27:44+00:00

This patch adds a bunch of missing syscalls to AVR32:
__NR_pread64
__NR_pwrite64
__NR_timerfd_create
__NR_fallocate
__NR_timerfd_settime
__NR_timerfd_gettime
__NR_signalfd4
__NR_eventfd2
__NR_epoll_create1
__NR_dup3
__NR_pipe2
__NR_inotify_init1
__NR_preadv
__NR_pwritev
__NR_rt_tgsigqueueinfo
__NR_perf_event_open
__NR_recvmmsg
__NR_fanotify_init
__NR_fanotify_mark
__NR_prlimit64
__NR_name_to_handle_at
__NR_open_by_handle_at
__NR_clock_adjtime
__NR_syncfs
__NR_sendmmsg
__NR_process_vm_readv
__NR_process_vm_writev
__NR_kcmp
__NR_finit_module
__NR_sched_setattr
__NR_sched_getattr
__NR_renameat2
__NR_seccomp
__NR_getrandom
__NR_memfd_create
__NR_bpf
__NR_execveat

On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

This relates to syscall fallocate, fanotify_mark, process_vm_readv, and
process_vm_writev.

module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.

2015-01-20T01:08:32+00:00

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.

This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.
