serial: sh-sci: Fix register offsets for the IRDA serial port

2017-11-15T14:53:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit a752ba18af8285e3eeda572f40dddaebff0c3621 ]

Even though most of its registers are 8-bit wide, the IRDA has two
16-bit registers that make it a 16-bit peripheral and not a 8-bit
peripheral with addresses shifted by one. Fix the registers offset in
the driver and the platform data regshift value.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:11:18+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

Merge branch 'gup_flag-cleanups'

2016-10-19T15:39:47+00:00

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
 "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
  that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
  implied by flags.

  The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
  so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
  being used.  The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
  VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
  from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.

  The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
  ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
  which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
  with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
  do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
  for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
  dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
  situation where this assumption did not hold.

  See

      https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166

  for the patch proposal"

Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.

  reviewed-by's ]

mm: replace get_user_pages_unlocked() write/force parameters with gup_flags

2016-10-18T21:13:37+00:00

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked()
and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.
