compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2010-09-20T20:36:44+00:00

commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

parisc: pass through '\t' to early (iodc) console

2010-08-10T18:09:14+00:00

commit d9b68e5e88248bb24fd4e455588bea1d56108fd6 upstream.

The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it
(which, incidentally, had a bug in it.)

Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which,
as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use
a tab as the first character.

parisc: Call pagefault_disable/pagefault_enable in kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic

2010-05-30T09:48:32+00:00

Based on the generic implementation of kmap_atomic and kunmap_atomic,
we should call pagefault_disable and pagefault_enable in our PA8000
implementation.

The define for kmap_atomic_prot was also missing, and I updated
kmap_atomic_pfn to use the generic implementation because of the
change to kmap_atomic.

I believe that this change is needed to fix the fork copy-on-write
bug.

parisc: Remove unnecessary macros from entry.S

2010-05-30T09:47:28+00:00

The EXTR, DEP and DEPI macros are unnecessary.  There are PA 1.X
pneumonics available with the same functionality, and the DEP and DEPI
macros conflict with assembler pneumonics.

Tested on a variety of 32 and 64-bit systems.

parisc: LWS fixes for syscall.S

2010-05-30T09:46:37+00:00

1) Gate immediately and save a branch.
2) Fix off by one error in checking entry number.
3) Use sr7 instead of sr3 in error return path as sr3 might not
   contain correct value.
4) Enable locking on UP systems to prevent incorrect operation of
   the cas_action critical region on page faults.

Tested on several systems, including UP c3750 with 2.6.33.2 kernel.

parisc: invoke oom-killer from page fault

2010-05-30T09:41:30+00:00

As explained in commit 1c0fe6e3bd, we want to call the architecture independent
oom killer when getting an unexplained OOM from handle_mm_fault, rather than
simply killing current.
