PARISC: fix user-triggerable panic on parisc

2012-12-03T20:59:13+00:00

commit 441a179dafc0f99fc8b3a8268eef66958621082e upstream.

int sys32_rt_sigprocmask(int how, compat_sigset_t __user *set, compat_sigset_t __user *oset,
                                    unsigned int sigsetsize)
{
        sigset_t old_set, new_set;
        int ret;

        if (set && get_sigset32(set, &new_set, sigsetsize))

...
static int
get_sigset32(compat_sigset_t __user *up, sigset_t *set, size_t sz)
{
        compat_sigset_t s;
        int r;

        if (sz != sizeof *set) panic("put_sigset32()");

In other words, rt_sigprocmask(69, (void *)69, 69) done by 32bit process
will promptly panic the box.

PARISC: fix virtual aliasing issue in get_shared_area()

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as
well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area.
Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff
tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in
multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the
problem isn't often seen in practise.

PARISC: Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts

2012-09-14T17:00:51+00:00

commit bba3d8c3b3c0f2123be5bc687d1cddc13437c923 upstream.

The following build error occured during a parisc build with
swap-over-NFS patches applied.

net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks')
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
> Here is the line in sock.i:
>
> struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
> ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

PARISC: fix TLB fault path on PA2.0 narrow systems

    [PARISC] fix PA1.1 oops on boot

Didn't quite fix the crash on boot.  It moved it from PA1.1 processors to
PA2.0 narrow kernels.  The final fix is to make sure the [id]tlb_miss_20 paths
also work.  Even on narrow systems, these paths require using the wide
instructions becuase the tlb insertion format is wide.  Fix this by
conditioning the dep[wd],z on whether we're being called from _11 or _20[w]
paths.

PARISC: fix boot failure on 32-bit systems caused by branch stubs placed before .text

2012-06-09T15:32:58+00:00

commit ed5fb2471b7060767957fb964eb1aaec71533ab1 upstream.

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to boot
because the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section
at the very start of the image.  As a result, the initial transfer of control
jumps to an unexpected location.  Fix this by placing the head text in a
separate section so the stubs for .text are not at the start of the image.

PARISC: fix panic on prefetch(NULL) on PA7300LC

2012-06-01T07:12:53+00:00

commit b3cb8674811d1851bbf1486a73d62b90c119b994 upstream.

Due to an errata, the PA7300LC generates a TLB miss interruption even on the
prefetch instruction.  This means that prefetch(NULL), which is supposed to be
a nop on linux actually generates a NULL deref fault.  Fix this by testing the
address of prefetch against NULL before doing the prefetch.

PARISC: fix crash in flush_icache_page_asm on PA1.1

2012-06-01T07:12:52+00:00

commit 207f583d7179f707f402c36a7bda5ca1fd03ad5b upstream.

As pointed out by serveral people, PA1.1 only has a type 26 instruction
meaning that the space register must be explicitly encoded.  Not giving an
explicit space means that the compiler uses the type 24 version which is PA2.0
only resulting in an illegal instruction crash.

This regression was caused by

    parisc: flush pages through tmpalias space

because a PA2.0 instruction was accidentally introduced into the PA1.1 TLB
insertion interruption path when it was consolidated with the do_alias macro.
Fix the do_alias macro only to use PA2.0 instructions if compiled for 64 bit.
