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.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.

score: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers

2015-02-10T22:30:33+00:00

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation.
Nobody creates non-linear mapping anymore.

This patch also increase number of bits availble for swap offset.

net, lib: kill arch_fast_hash library bits

2014-12-10T20:17:46+00:00

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.

This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

irq_work: Introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()

2014-09-13T16:38:07+00:00

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.

Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
tell about their support for this ability.

lib/scatterlist: clean up useless architecture versions of scatterlist.h

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

There's no need to have an architecture version of scatterlist.h if the
only thing the file does is include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.  Switch to
the asm-generic versions directly.

2014-08-07T01:01:12+00:00

'COUNTER' and other same kind macros are too common to use, and easy to
get conflict with other modules.

At present, they are not used, so it is OK to simply remove them.  And
