[S390] remove ieee_instruction_pointer from thread_struct

2010-10-25T14:10:20+00:00

The ieee_instruction_pointer can not be read from user space anymore
since git commit 613e1def6b52c399a8b72a5e11bc2e57d2546fb8, the ptrace
interface always returns zero. Remove it from the thread_struct. It
is still present in the user_regs_struct for compatability reasons.

[S390] Expose a constant for the number of words representing the CRs

2009-03-26T14:24:25+00:00

We need to use this value in the checkpoint/restart code and would like to
have a constant instead of a magic '3'.

[S390] CVE-2008-1514: prevent ptrace padding area read/write in 31-bit mode

2008-09-09T10:39:06+00:00

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.

This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap

Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit


Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.

Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

[S390] Introduce user_regset accessors for s390

2008-07-14T08:02:09+00:00

Add the user_regset definitions for normal and compat processes, replace
the dump_regs core dump cruft with the generic CORE_DUMP_USER_REGSET and
replace binfmt_elf32.c with the generic compat_binfmt_elf.c implementation.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
