sparc: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

2015-04-12T19:03:21+00:00

As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

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.

Merge git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit

2014-10-19T23:25:56+00:00

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

sparc64: Do not define thread fpregs save area as zero-length array.

2014-10-19T03:12:33+00:00

This breaks the stack end corruption detection facility.

What that facility does it write a magic value to "end_of_stack()"
and checking to see if it gets overwritten.

"end_of_stack()" is "task_thread_info(p) + 1", which for sparc64 is
the beginning of the FPU register save area.

So once the user uses the FPU, the magic value is overwritten and the
debug checks trigger.

Fix this by making the size explicit.

Due to the size we use for the fpsaved[], gsr[], and xfsr[] arrays we
are limited to 7 levels of FPU state saves.  So each FPU register set
is 256 bytes, allocate 256 * 7 for the fpregs area.

sparc: implement is_32bit_task

2014-09-23T20:21:27+00:00

We are currently embedding the same check from thread_info.h into
syscall.h thanks to the way syscall_get_arch() was implemented in the
audit tree.  Instead create a new function, is_32bit_task() which is
similar to that found on the powerpc arch.  This simplifies the
syscall.h code and makes the build/Kconfig requirements much easier
to understand.

sparc64: sun4v TLB error power off events

2014-09-17T00:46:44+00:00

We've witnessed a few TLB events causing the machine to power off because
of prom_halt. In one case it was some nfs related area during rmmod. Another
was an mmapper of /dev/mem. A more recent one is an ITLB issue with
a bad pagesize which could be a hardware bug. Bugs happen but we should
attempt to not power off the machine and/or hang it when possible.

This is a DTLB error from an mmapper of /dev/mem:
[root@sparcie ~]# SUN4V-DTLB: Error at TPC[fffff80100903e6c], tl 1
SUN4V-DTLB: TPC<0xfffff80100903e6c>
SUN4V-DTLB: O7[fffff801081979d0]
SUN4V-DTLB: O7<0xfffff801081979d0>
SUN4V-DTLB: vaddr[fffff80100000000] ctx[1250] pte[98000000000f0610] error[2]
.

This is recent mainline for ITLB:
[ 3708.179864] SUN4V-ITLB: TPC<0xfffffc010071cefc>
[ 3708.188866] SUN4V-ITLB: O7[fffffc010071cee8]
[ 3708.197377] SUN4V-ITLB: O7<0xfffffc010071cee8>
[ 3708.206539] SUN4V-ITLB: vaddr[e0003] ctx[1a3c] pte[2900000dcc800eeb] error[4]
.

Normally sun4v_itlb_error_report() and sun4v_dtlb_error_report() would call
prom_halt() and drop us to OF command prompt "ok". This isn't the case for
LDOMs and the machine powers off.

For the HV reported error of HV_ENORADDR for HV HV_MMU_MAP_ADDR_TRAP we cause
a SIGBUS error by qualifying it within do_sparc64_fault() for fault code mask
of FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA. This is done when trap level (%tl) is less or equal
one("1"). Otherwise, for %tl > 1,  we proceed eventually to die_if_kernel().

The logic of this patch was partially inspired by David Miller's feedback.

Power off of large sparc64 machines is painful. Plus die_if_kernel provides
more context. A reset sequence isn't a brief period on large sparc64 but
better than power-off/power-on sequence.
