powerpc/signal32: Fix sigset_t conversion when copying to user

2011-11-17T05:41:10+00:00

On PPC64, put_sigset_t converts a sigset_t to a compat_sigset_t
before copying it to userspace. There is a typo in the case that
we have 4 words to copy, meaning that we corrupt the compat_sigset_t.

It appears that _NSIG_WORDS can't be greater than 2 at the moment
so this code is probably always optimised away anyway.

arch/powerpc: use printk_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimit

2011-06-29T05:31:01+00:00

Since printk_ratelimit() shouldn't be used anymore (see comment in
include/linux/printk.h), replace it with printk_ratelimited.

powerpc: fix double syscall restarts

2010-09-22T16:33:50+00:00

Make sigreturn zero regs->trap, make do_signal() do the same on all
paths.  As it is, signal interrupting e.g. read() from fd 512 (==
ERESTARTSYS) with another signal getting unblocked when the first
handler finishes will lead to restart one insn earlier than it ought
to.  Same for multiple signals with in-kernel handlers interrupting
that sucker at the same time.  Same for multiple signals of any kind
interrupting that sucker on 64bit...

powerpc/booke: Add support for advanced debug registers

From: Dave Kleikamp 

Based on patches originally written by Torez Smith.

This patch defines context switch and trap related functionality
for BookE specific Debug Registers. It adds support to ptrace()
for setting and getting BookE related Debug Registers

powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers

From: Dave Kleikamp 

Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:

CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported

Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware.  I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers.  For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code

2009-03-27T05:58:24+00:00

On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel.  Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.

This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.

Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.

powerpc: Fix msr check in compat_sys_swapcontext

2008-11-11T08:42:22+00:00

The new context may not be 16-byte aligned, so the real address of the
mcontext structure should be read from the uc_regs pointer instead of
directly using the (unaligned) uc_mcontext field.

powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext size

2008-10-31T05:12:00+00:00

Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state.  A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved).  Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.

This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case.  It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.

Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

[paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls]

Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

powerpc: fix giveup_vsx to save registers correctly

2008-07-15T02:29:23+00:00

giveup_vsx didn't save the FPU and VMX regsiters.  Change it to be
like giveup_fpr/altivec which save these registers.

Also update call sites where FPU and VMX are already saved to use the
original giveup_vsx (renamed to __giveup_vsx).

powerpc: fix swapcontext backwards compat. with VSX ucontext changes

2008-07-09T06:30:47+00:00

When the ucontext changed to add the VSX context, this broke backwards
compatibly on swapcontext.  swapcontext only compares the ucontext size
passed in from the user to the new kernel ucontext size.

This adds a check against the old ucontext size (with VMX but without
VSX).  It also adds some sanity check for ucontexts without VSX, but
where VSX is used according the MSR.  Fixes for both 32 and 64bit
processes on 64bit kernels

Kudos to Paulus for noticing.
