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.

CRIS: Export missing function symbols

2014-12-19T23:03:22+00:00

strcmp was lost when all other string functions were removed,
but we still have an optimized version for this on CRISv32,
so any driver built as a module would not have access to this symbol.

In a similar manner, we had optimized versions of
csum_partial_copy_from_user and __do_clear_user
but no exported symbols for them, breaking bunch of other drivers
when built as a module.

At the same time, move EXPORT_SYMBOL(__copy_user) and
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__copy_user_zeroing) C-files so it's
located together with the function definition.

sched, cleanup, treewide: Remove set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after schedule()

2014-09-19T10:35:17+00:00

schedule(), io_schedule() and schedule_timeout() always return
with TASK_RUNNING state set, so one more setting is unnecessary.

(All places in patch are visible good, only exception is
 kiblnd_scheduler() from:

      drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c

 Its schedule() is one line above standard 3 lines of unified diff)

No places where set_current_state() is used for mb().

cris: update comments for generic idle conversion

2014-06-06T23:08:18+00:00

As of commit 8dc7c5ecd8d0 ("cris: Use generic idle loop"), cris no
longer provides cpu_idle().

- On cris-v10, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is called from default_idle()
  instead of cpu_idle(),

- On cris-v32, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is not called from
  default_idle(), so remove this (copy-and-paste?) part.
