mm/uaccess, mm/fault: Clarify that uaccess may only sleep if pagefaults are enabled

2015-05-19T06:39:14+00:00

In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions must not sleep
if pagefaults are disabled.

Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also reflects
the might_sleep() checks in might_fault().

tile: add and enable support functions

2015-04-30T19:23:37+00:00

This change enables the generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
using word-at-a-time.h.  The tile implementation is trivial since
both tilepro and tilegx have SIMD operations that do byte-wise
comparisons against immediate zero for each byte, and return an
0x01 byte in each position where there is a 0x00 byte.

tile: enable sparse checks for get/put_user

2015-01-13T23:44:34+00:00

Add an extra intermediate variable to __get_user and __put_user
to give sparse an opportunity to detect mismatches.

tile: fix put_user sparse errors

2015-01-13T23:44:17+00:00

Use x86's __inttype macro instead of using the typeof(x-x) trick to
generate a suitable integer size type.  This avoids a sparse warning
when examining the x-x type with a bitwise type.

tile: use proper .align directives on __ex_table sections

2013-08-30T15:56:11+00:00

This may fix a reported bug where an R_TILEGX_64 in a module was not
pointing to an aligned address.

tile: convert uses of "inv" to "finv"

2013-07-31T15:51:19+00:00

The "inv" (invalidate) instruction is generally less safe than "finv"
(flush and invalidate), as it will drop dirty data from the cache.
It turns out we have almost no need for "inv" (other than for the
older 32-bit architecture in some limited cases), so convert to
"finv" where possible and delete the extra "inv" infrastructure.

tile: uaccess s/might_sleep/might_fault/

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit.

Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2013-05-01T00:04:09+00:00

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

tile: fix bug in get_user() for 4-byte values

2012-06-16T20:56:13+00:00

The definition of 32-bit values in the 64-bit tilegx architecture is that
they should be sign-extended regardless of whether they are considered
signed or unsigned by the compiler.  Accordingly, we need to use an
"ld4s" rather than "ld4u" to load and sign-extend for get_user().

This fixes glibc bug 14238 (see http://sourceware.org/bugzilla),
introduced during the 3.5 merge window.
