sparc64: not any error from do_sigaltstack() should fail rt_sigreturn()

2012-12-03T20:59:14+00:00

commit fae2ae2a900a5c7bb385fe4075f343e7e2d5daa2 upstream.

If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack().  It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along.  64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics
we are using on other architectures.

sparc64: do not clobber personality flags in sys_sparc64_personality()

2012-10-28T17:02:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit a27032eee8cb6e16516f13c8a9752e9d5d4cc430 ]

There are multiple errors in how sys_sparc64_personality() handles
personality flags stored in top three bytes.

- directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work
  in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes
  are used.
- directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX
  discards any flags stored in the top three bytes

Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only
PER_MASK bytes.
Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of
overwriting the whole value.

sparc64: Fix bit twiddling in sparc_pmu_enable_event().

2012-10-28T17:02:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit e793d8c6740f8fe704fa216e95685f4d92c4c4b9 ]

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().

Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.

However, event enable was not reversing this operation.  Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.

That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .

The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field.  So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

sparc64: Like x86 we should check current->mm during perf backtrace generation.

access the address space.

KEYS: Use the compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 compat

2012-06-01T07:12:54+00:00

commit 45de6767dc51358a188f75dc4ad9dfddb7fb9480 upstream.

Use the 32-bit compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 binary
compatibility.

Without this, keyctl(KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) is liable to malfunction as it
uses an iovec array read from userspace - though the kernel should survive this
as it checks pointers and sizes anyway.

I think all the other keyctl() function should just work, provided (a) the top
32-bits of each 64-bit argument register are cleared prior to invoking the
syscall routine, and the 32-bit address space is right at the 0-end of the
64-bit address space.  Most of the arguments are 32-bit anyway, and so for
those clearing is not required.

sparc64: Do not clobber %g2 in xcall_fetch_glob_regs().

2012-05-21T16:40:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit a5a737e090e25981e99d69f01400e3a80356581c ]

%g2 is meant to hold the CPUID number throughout this routine, since
at the very beginning, and at the very end, we use %g2 to calculate
indexes into per-cpu arrays.

However we erroneously clobber it in order to hold the %cwp register
value mid-stream.

Fix this code to use %g3 for the %cwp read and related calulcations
instead.

sparc64: Fix bootup crash on sun4v.

2012-04-22T23:21:24+00:00

commit 9e0daff30fd7ecf698e5d20b0fa7f851e427cca5 upstream.

The DS driver registers as a subsys_initcall() but this can be too
early, in particular this risks registering before we've had a chance
to allocate and setup module_kset in kernel/params.c which is
performed also as a subsyts_initcall().

Register DS using device_initcall() insteal.

sparc64: Eliminate obsolete __handle_softirq() function

2012-04-22T23:21:24+00:00

commit 3d3eeb2ef26112a200785e5fca58ec58dd33bf1e upstream.

The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no
need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path.  In fact, doing so
is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation
can result in lockdep-RCU failures.  The problem is that RCU ignores idle
CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to
tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers
are executing.  This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical
sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data
can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections.

The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections
that RCU is ignoring located this problem.

The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the
softirq handlers.

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

2012-01-06T22:14:05+00:00

[ A combination of upstream commits 1d299bc7732c34d85bd43ac1a8745f5a2fed2078 and
  e88d2468718b0789b4c33da2f7e1cef2a1eee279 ]

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, %g6,
as a place to save and restore orig_i0.

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