sparc: Stash orig_i0 into %g6 instead of %g2

2011-11-15T20:57:00+00:00

As per the comments added by this commit, %g2 turns out to not be a
usable place to save away orig_i0 for syscall restart handling.

In fact all of %g2, %g3, %g4, and %g5 are assumed to be saved across
a system call by various bits of code in glibc.

%g1 can't be used because that holds the syscall number, which would
need to be saved and restored for syscall restart handling too, and
that would only compound our problems :-)

This leaves us with %g6 and %g7 which are for "system use".  %g7 is
used as the "thread register" by glibc, but %g6 is used as a compiler
and assembler temporary scratch register.  And in no instance is %g6
used to hold a value across a system call.

Therefore %g6 is safe for storing away orig_i0, at least for now.

sparc: Fix handling of orig_i0 wrt. debugging when restarting syscalls.

2011-11-15T04:43:07+00:00

Although we provide a proper way for a debugger to control whether
syscall restart occurs, we run into problems because orig_i0 is not
saved and restored properly.

Luckily we can solve this problem without having to make debuggers
aware of the issue.  Across system calls, several registers are
considered volatile and can be safely clobbered.

Therefore we use the pt_regs save area of one of those registers, %g2,
as a place to save and restore orig_i0.

Debuggers transparently will do the right thing because they save and
restore this register already.

sparc: Avoid calling sigprocmask()

sparc: Use set_current_blocked()

2011-10-12T19:25:28+00:00

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.

sparc: Allow handling signals when stack is corrupted.

2011-08-21T00:14:54+00:00

If we can't push the pending register windows onto the user's stack,
we disallow signal delivery even if the signal would be delivered on a
valid seperate signal stack.

Add a register window save area in the signal frame, and store any
unsavable windows there.

On sigreturn, if any windows are still queued up in the signal frame,
try to push them back onto the stack and if that fails we kill the
process immediately.

This allows the debug/tst-longjmp_chk2 glibc test case to pass.

sparc: Prevent no-handler signal syscall restart recursion.

2010-09-22T05:30:13+00:00

Explicitly clear the "in-syscall" bit when we have no signal
handler and back up the program counters to back up the system
call.

Don't invoke the signal handler tracehook in that situation
either.

sparc: Align clone and signal stacks to 16 bytes.

2010-02-10T00:18:40+00:00

This is mandatory for 64-bit processes, and doing it also for 32-bit
processes saves a conditional in the compat case.

This fixes the glibc/nptl/tst-stdio1 test case, as well
as many others, on 64-bit.

KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]

2009-09-02T11:29:22+00:00

Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include 
	#include 
	#include 

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

sparc: add '32' suffix to reg_window, sigcontext, __siginfo_t

2009-01-03T03:32:59+00:00

Renaming a few types to contain a 32 suffix makes the
type names compatible with sparc64 and thus makes sharing
between the two a lot easier.

Note: None of these definitions are expected part of the
stable ABI towards userspace.
